Generosity of Spirit

Posted on by

“I don’t care whether the world’s going to end tomorrow or it’s going to go on forever. I’m still going to do the same thing I do every day which is to love, serve, remember, love, serve, remember, love, serve, remember.”

~Ram Dass~

No matter what unfolds in our collective experience, each of us ultimately creates our own reality. When deeply aligned with your inner purpose, Presence can be effortlessly and consciously demonstrated throughout day-to-day transactions while honoring all paths as sacred.

Pay attention to messages you receive. Notice what brings a sense of peace and fulfillment and purposely work with any unexpected energies that  trigger old wounds. Their appearance indicates that healing is at hand. This is the purpose of existence. Awakening souls utilize compassion as a foundation that informs Right Action.  All transformation begins within.

When evoking the mystery of enlightenment, it’s powerful to observe ourselves and and our life situations with acceptance and clarity. First, accept what is. Then work with that knowledge to create greater peace and empowerment in your experience. You can lead, inspire and spark awakening simply by living authentically. Stretch out your hand in love. Hold kindness in your heart. Be the change.

Vocation

“Nature loves courage. You make the commitment and nature will respond to that commitment by removing impossible obstacles. Dream the impossible dream and the world will not grind you under, it will lift you up.”

~Terence McKenna~

Everyone needs someone or something to love. A passion, purpose, family, social cause, pets, art, or vocation sets the stage for our spiritual journey of discovery. It’s not enough to believe someone else’s story. It’s time to create your own myth.

Obviously, this differs greatly from person to person. Consider; however, that your exact temperament and set of talents are unique. When you have a calling, it sparks life into all that you do. Empowerment is realized when we do things for love rather than for notoriety or attachment to outcomes. The love eventually becomes a powerful driving force that prompts movement forward, even when things feel overwhelming.

When you find your calling, consistently work toward it in some manner every day. Weave love, playfulness, passion and purpose into an energy field of potential from which you can drink when you need inspiration. This is your path of awakening. The flow will lead you to the experiences and community that ultimately facilitate growth.

 

 

Releasing Worry

“Worry pretends to be necessary but serves no useful purpose”

~Eckhart Tolle~

Challenges draw us together in miraculous ways. It’s easy to get lost in the stories of the mind, the collective dramas we experience and fears regarding an unknowable future. Every day ego-driven people fill our consciousness with “what ifs?” that attempt to destroy the peace of the present moment. As an enlightened spirit in the process of awakening, utilize this tendency of our culture to practice your ability to see things differently.

The higher your vibration, the greater your perception. Life’s interpretation is far different when viewed from the levels of Acceptance, Love or Peace. You have chosen to incarnate during these times with a specific purpose in mind, perhaps to teach others a new way of being and assist in the awakening of a new level of consciousness.

Challenging moments are usually followed by an outpouring of kindness and compassion from those who can recognize the potential residing in the midst of heartache. Each time you allow challenging situations to empower your spirit rather than corrupt your mind, your soul awakens to limitless possibility. Become a living flame of awareness and your life will be your message.

Your Unique Journey

“Don’t remind the world that it is sick and troubled. Remind it that it is beautiful and free.”

~Mooji~

You bring something sacred to the world of form and it can only be fully expressed when you choose to live from the heart. Whether you seek to touch one life or many, realize that you make a difference. There has never been, nor will there ever be someone with your unique energy and way of being in the world. Higher love guides you down new paths of experience.

It’s important to find your unique way of connecting to the Divine. Spiritual teachings and writings are simply pointers that may be utilized to correct your course from time to time, but until you discover your own truth and live from a level of authentic experience, those ideas may actually hinder you from going deeper and finding your own way of being in the world.

With each challenge you encounter, new facets of your infinite nature are revealed. The awakened spirit learns to rise above ego-generated feelings of inferiority or superiority. Your journey is unlike any other and it’s wonderful to give expression to your passion, enthusiasm and joy. Your story is still being written.

Beginnings

“Celtic mysticism recognizes that rather than trying to expose the soul or offer it our fragile care, we should let the soul find us and care for us.”
~John O’Donohue~
Consider that any changes in your experience are preparing you for expansion into a new playground of consciousness. Every shake-up provides an opportunity to break us free from limiting patterns and beliefs that are no longer necessary.
.
The resilience of the soul has no limitation. Once you truly see through the mechanisms of the ego, you’ll discover potential that is ready to shine. Yet, how would you know where your blockages lie without them first rising to the surface? When we’re ready to clear a particular issue, the soul requests assistance. That assistance often presents itself in the form of a challenge or ending. Life will always offer the perfect experience for your personal awakening.
.
When faced with the shadow we have a choice… get lost in the story or forge a new way forward. The former will lull you back to sleep until the next upset occurs, while the latter creates a fresh, dynamic journey that ultimately expands your consciousness. As you awaken, the world around you is transformed.

Harmony, Faith and Intuition

Posted on by

When we live in harmony with all that surrounds us, we learn how to be in the moment and leave the past behind. The awakened spirit sees life as a dance with the Divine where adventures await. As we release our fears, knowing that we are loved and supported each step of the journey, an innocence and trust emerges. This support makes itself known in unusual and ever evolving ways and we learn to follow our inner guidance and intuition.

Taking the leap into the unknown is nothing less than a leap of faith. In the beginning this can be very difficult – we have spent lifetimes cultivating our knowledge. However, maturity allows us to surrender with joy to what is, continually release the past and go on trusting as we walk forward. Every situation has something to teach and with this inner flowering and wholeness comes unlimited possibility.

All of your experiences have brought you here to this moment of perfection. How would it feel to allow the eternal beauty of your being to sparkle with joy and excitement at the thought of the never-ending journey of discovery? That is the freedom of empowerment.

The Work of a Lifetime

“Whenever your relationship is not working, whenever it brings out the ‘madness’ in your and in your partner, be glad. What was unconscious is being brought up to the light. It is an opportunity for salvation.”
~Eckhart Tolle~
.
Our relationships are the playground of spiritual awakening. Whether with lovers, family, co-workers, friends or the frustrating person behind you in line at the store, each plays a significant role in your souls development. When you choose to bring a higher consciousness to your interactions, there is a greater possibility of staying present in the midst of challenging situations rather than becoming reactive.
.
When you interact with someone who is caught in the pain of unconsciousness, become a source of compassion. Observe what arises for you and hold it in your loving embrace rather than feeding the situation with additional negative energy.
.
One of the greatest gifts you can give is the ability to hold space for another. The choice to stay present and listen without defensiveness or judgment creates space where a transformation can occur. As long as one person is conscious, new energy has the potential to break through old patterns and limiting beliefs.

Soul Purpose

“Realize deeply that the present moment is all you have. Make the now the primary focus of your life.”

~Eckhart Tolle~

Observe nature. Witness how everything plays a specific role in its evolving ecosystem, no matter how obvious or insignificant it appears. Often, the smallest creatures do the most important work.

The world needs you to be yourself. For some this comes effortlessly, while others actively search in order to discover their true potential. Be led by love, live your passions, seek joy in the present moment and you will not be led astray.

The people you have drawn into your life seek your true spirit to shine through. The awakening of human consciousness is happening now and you have chosen to be here for a purpose. You may feel called to physically participate using your unique insight and talents. You may be a healer of mind, body or spirit, or you may be a frequency holder who keeps the energetic vibration in a situation as high as possible. You’ll recognize your path by the degree of peacefulness you feel upon it.

When you live according to your purpose, life takes on greater meaning. Your purpose is to awaken. Honor your journey by living it to the fullest.

The Answers Are Within

Posted on by
Honor your journey as sacred knowing that every bridge you cross brings a higher level of fulfillment, connection and wisdom. Transformation begins within. Once emerged in higher consciousness, understand deeply that it must consistently touch every aspect of your experience.

Begin by healing your relationship to yourself. Then observe how your various relationships with family, co-workers, strangers and the planet reflect that change. Spiritual practice is often a blend of paradox – confusion and clarity, separation and wholeness, detachment and presence. The word paradox itself comes from the Greek para dokien which means beyond thought. See yourself as a physical expression of the Divine who wishes to experience life in all it’s forms. Look through the illusion and act consciously within the present moment.

The true power of spiritual awakening resides in finding one’s own truth through personal experience. There are many paths of enlightenment. In this infinite Universe, there is room for you to be uniquely you – an expression of the infinite in physical form.No matter what you feel called to do, live it fully. When you are aligned with your true nature, it’s easier to experience a deepening connection with the Divine. Distractions become less intrusive and you will discover the love and guidance that are all around you.

As We Age

Posted on by

In each lifetime we focus upon a specific issue that manifests in various forms, typically growing stronger with each iteration until we have true understanding. As we awaken, we bring greater awareness to our lessons and they become powerful aspects of the role we originally chose to play in this life.

When the personality does not seek awakening, the energy around a particular lesson layers upon itself and becomes stronger and it will resurface in the next lifetime (similar to repeating a class in school). The unlearned lessons become deeply ingrained and, without a spontaneous shift in consciousness, become more apparent. These older beings display a great deal of dysfunction, reactivity or fear.

For those on the path of awakening, diligent exploration throughout the lifetime transforms the challenge into a strength. As we age, compassion and kindness become the gifts we share. Picture the old, wise one who provides guidance and counsel, who is willing to laugh at life’s absurdities and teaches by example.

See the journey of your life as sacred. With each insight it becomes easier to be authentic, empowered and a source of Presence. Know that you have an incredible impact upon those who grace your life.
