Today my intention is to remember that the deepest connection with life often requires taking a step into unknown territory. I am willing to be led by love.

Imagine the life of your dreams and live it Now to the best of your ability. Expand into mastery by experiencing the present moment with an open heart. Life is a tapestry that is intricately woven by your thoughts, words and actions. You are the artist. Your joy is the light. Your life is the message.

When you live authentically, happiness arises. That energy flows outward touching everything and everyone around you. The way to discern if you’re living your truth is to ask, “Am I completely at peace with myself or am I suffering?”

Every cell in your body is filled with Divine intelligence. Listen to the messages it provides and honor the processes of your awakening. All that is required is the willingness to recognize the magnificence of your being.

Love is something that you give rather than something you receive. The awakened soul seeks only to experience authentic communion with another and that is expressed by living gently. Demands, judgment and expectation block the very flow we desire. When we allow life to be as it is and provide those we love the time they need to awaken and heal, we create a space in which a transformation can occur.

Be willing to change and honor the natural flow of life. Your thoughts create the ease with which you dance the dance of awakening. Allow this love to surface filling your mind, heart and consciousness and you’ll more easily recognize the Divine within everyone that you meet.

As we play in the world of form, we have the opportunity to discover new ways of being. There are always higher levels to explore. Bring joy, passion and enthusiasm to the Now and simply listen to the voice of your heart.

Allow yourself to have a different way of looking at the world. “That’s the way I’ve always been” is not part of this process. You have already mastered certain aspects of being and now is the time to expand into new territory.

Release all control to the Divine and you will experience greater peace in everything you choose to do.

Each of us plays a part in the collective awakening of the planet. Start by going within. Have the courage to face your own shadows and shine the light of consciousness upon them. This purposeful observation and awareness begins the transformation. The more peaceful you are on the inner, the more compassion and kindness you will demonstrate in your interactions.

Every time that you are able to bring peace to a situation – whether through your thoughts, words or actions – you create space in which a transformation can occur. There is a vast difference between sending love and forgiveness to someone who has been challenging for you and repeating the negative history to anyone who will listen. One denies the ego while the other strengthens it.

Release the limitations of the past and choose to experience the Now with joy and acceptance. This moment present a wonderful new opportunity to explore the nuances of love.

When we share vibrant, positive energy without expectation or limitation, we create the possibility of growth in unusual places. Life is about sharing and reaching out to others in kindness. Joyful celebration is not something to keep to oneself – let it create change in the world.

Your dance of awakening is about relaxing into who you truly are and allowing your expression of creativity to manifest in unique ways – through work, relationships or ordinary daily experiences. Spiritual awakening is about bringing light to the dark corners of your life.

Become one with the Now. The light in your heart becomes a doorway through which you enter into the presence of the Divine. Now is the time.

Each of us experiences life through the filter created by our level of consciousness. Someone vibrating at the level of Fear will have a far different interpretation of a situation than someone vibrating at the level of Acceptance or Love. Likewise, communication between two people of differing consciousness can be challenging – the person who is more aware must often take greater care to ensure understanding (and exercise patience in the process).

It’s important to recognize our projections as they occur. Some are providing you an opportunity to see how much you have grown and others can clarify what your soul is working on healing.

The inspired spiritual student becomes excited by the limitless potential of the Now and seeks to apply new knowledge to the world as it unfolds. This is the beauty of infinite possibility. We can choose how we experience life. Let the reflections you see motivate you to higher levels of consciousness. The circumstances around you provide the optimal conditions for your spiritual evolution.

“When life is simple,
pretenses fall away;
our essential natures shine through.

By not wanting, there is calm,
and the world will straighten itself.
When there is silence,
one finds the anchor of the universe within oneself.”

~ From the 37th verse of the Tao Te Ching, Lao-tzu

Change the way you view your approach to life. When you are able to replace your attachment to outcomes with a strong sense of calm contentment, you’ll discover that life unfolds as it should. When we attach to the “hows” resistance is created; however, when we choose to get out of the way and allow, we create a space in which transformation can occur.

Cultivate this strength in your experience by releasing judgment as well as the need to tell others how you think they should act or solve their problems. Give yourself and those around you permission to just be and lighten the burdens you have placed upon yourself.

Today my intention is to honor this moment as sacred.

“There is only one perpetrator of evil on the planet: human unconsciousness. That realization is true forgiveness. With forgiveness, your victim identity dissolves, and your true power emerges – the power of Presence. Instead of blaming the darkness, you bring in the light.”
~ Eckhart Tolle

Light transforms the darkness. Our ability to love plants seeds of consciousness that help in the collective awakening of which we are all a part. Peaceful, empowered souls have a dramatic impact on those around them. Pay attention, observe, seek the gift in every situation and you will discover a new way of walking in the world.

Oneness requires that we release judgment and move into compassion in the present moment. Whatever unfolds in our life situations – both personally and collectively – is teaching us the healing power of higher consciousness. Everything is interconnected. When you are balanced, all your actions and relationships will be a reflection of the oneness of life – that is love.
