Today my intention is to dance with the joy of life. Sharing brings me joy.

Today my intention is to honor this moment as sacred.

“Every action that is conscious, and that aims at bringing about a result, arises from a motivation. My religion is very simple: my key motivation is love. My religion is kindness.”
~ The Dalai Lama ~

What patterns repeat in your life? Whether you experience support and kindness or feel misunderstood and unheard, all life is a reflection of your inner state of consciousness.

When you wish to create change, seek first to create peace in your mind and heart. Your thoughts directly affect the energy you send out into the world.

Compassion and love are empowering qualities to explore. Infinite and immeasurable, there will always be new levels to discover. As we accept full responsibility for our own state of consciousness and learn to create balance and joy within, we become less susceptible to outside events and a greater source of peace in the world.

Today my intention is to create a home that is filled with love.

The abundance of life awaits. When you live with an open heart, you’ll discover how to celebrate the journey of your awakening while simultaneously enjoying the depths of understanding and wisdom available to you.

Spirituality is not about denying the world and it’s pleasures. Every moment is a gateway to infinite possibility and honoring that with a conscious, joyful approach allows you to explore your inner beauty. This is considered Wholeness.

Love resides at the core of your being. As you drop the layers of illusion that block your ability to see clearly, the light will begin to sparkle through. Look within. Slow down and breathe – observe the breath, and become the loving witness of your own awakening.

Today my intention is to create peacefulness in my mind. I trust my inner wisdom

We are deeply connected to one another. The awakened spiritual seeker understands the need to take responsibility for his or her state of consciousness in the present moment. It’s important to live aligned with your truth and recognize your power as a co-creator for nothing is more important that your joy.

Anyone can meditate in a place of sanctuary – feeling bliss, peace, balance and a deep connection with the Divine. It’s a bit more challenging to take that beautiful energy with you out into a world which consists of varying degrees of consciousness, but it is desperately needed. Let your life be a walking meditation and allow your light to shine through the darkness.

When you choose to take full responsibility for every aspect of your life, you participate in your own awakening and accelerate the process. All that you need to know will be revealed to you at the perfect time.

Today my intention is to be compassionate and understanding. My desire is to create a space where it is safe to love one another.

Consciousness, or the lack of it, determines one’s response to the events of life. Pay attention to the many different experiences you observe people choosing to have during the course of a day. You’ll discover that life is merely a projection of each person’s beliefs, judgments, expectation and desires. Typically, they will share their perception (often repeatedly) looking for those who will validate it.

As a spiritual seeker, it’s even more important to take the time to turn your attention inward. Observe your own thoughts and responses and notice when the ego attaches to a particular story. As soon as you recognize something that replays and causes discomfort, purposely ask if you are viewing the situation from the highest vibration possible. Then choose to shift your thoughts in a way that creates peace in your experience.

This gentle process of observation, ownership and conscious choices will create a flow of understanding that is beyond the traditional movement of the ego. Through consciousness itself, you will begin to awaken from the world of thought into the joy of being.

Today my intention is to open my consciousness to the expansion of life. I am willing to grow and change.

The paradox of human nature is that life provides ample opportunity to experience a situation from multiple levels of awareness. Spiritual seekers discover that all perceptions are simultaneously accurate and understand the transforming power of the light of consciousness.

Rather than fighting for a particular viewpoint, utilize your energy by purposely assisting in the collective awakening of which we are all a part. The truth will make itself known in the perfect way at the perfect time and it’s important to honor each path and perception as sacred. Conflict only strengthens the ego while acceptance creates a space in which a transformation can occur.

You have the ability to be a reflection of the light of the Divine. When you live aligned with your soul’s purpose, joy naturally emanates through you, changing the energy of any circumstance in which you may find yourself. Channel this empowering energy by simply being true to your own path.

Today my intention is to embrace this moment as sacred. I choose to be an authentic example of love, light and laughter.

We created this world, and the illusion of separateness, to explore the vast realms of human experience. It can be easy to get lost in the illusion and forget that we are simply brothers and sisters on the same path of awakening. All will discover the same infinite truths. The only difference between us is the level of consciousness, which dictates the types of experiences required for the purpose of awakening, and how far along with path we’ve come.

Many people use the Sanskrit term “Namaste” to greet one another. Roughly translated, it means, “The divine spirit in me honors the divine spirit within you.” What would happen if we simply brought this kindness and respect to every person with whom we interact? Choosing to honor the others soul rather than the role they play creates space for an authentic interaction.

Your purpose is to awaken and every aspect of life assists you in this endeavor. Be a reflection of light and kindness. The journey is long and it’s wonderful to share joyful moments together along the way.

Today my intention is to honor the sacred in all things.

Enlightenment is not about being blissed-out. Rather, it is the enchanting movement of inner peace expressed in the present moment. Enlightenment is being here Now, applying hard-won spiritual wisdom and maturity to everyday life. The end result is to to live without attachments – to let go, allow and accept what is.

When you can put the past behind you, the natural progression is the awakening of wisdom. How wonderful it is to dance through life with innocence and maturity. Even after all that has been experienced – the highs and lows, achievements and losses, celebration and struggle – the enlightened soul surrenders to the adventures that await.

Feed your spirit with things that nourish you. Treat your life and yourself as sacred and trust that the dynamism of your soul will guide you exactly where you need to be.

Today my intention is to celebrate this moment as sacred.

In our infinite Universe, there is more than enough room to experience whatever you wish. The energy that you send out into the world dictates what will return to you as well as the filter through which you view your life situation.Observe the energy you emit. It’s important to ensure that you bring joy, enthusiasm or acceptance to the present moment. If you cannot operate from that level of consciousness, pause and shift your thoughts or step away from the task until you can function from a space of balance. Nothing is more important than how you choose to experience the Now.

Your primary goal is to awaken. Everything else is secondary. When you operate from the higher levels of consciousness, life will rise up to meet you. This joyful celebration of life energy will bring you deeper into the present moment.

Today my intention is to remember that I am responsible for my own joy. All that unfolds is exactly what is required for my growth.
