Stand in Courage

Posted on by

“In these times where it has seemed dark indeed
where integrity appears solely buried in legend and lore,
it is an opportunity in contrast to the shadows,
to create miracles…
by choosing first courage,
then diligence,
standing,
opening our mouth
and speaking the truth that in rare moments,
may ignite the light.”
~Tom Althouse~

To live an authentic life is to be deeply committed to the truth of who you are. There will be moments when you shine with inspiration and conviction, and others when you may miss the mark; however, it is all part of the process of transformation. Reading and study will only get you so far. It’s powerful to watch ideas as they come to life in the world around you. You are far stronger than you know.

Listen deeply to the inner wisdom of your soul. Each of us has a unique purpose and while you might find motivation and insight through others’ works, the message slightly transforms when processed through your filter of interpretation and again as you put new ideas and energy into motion.

Be the change you wish to see. Honor your purpose as sacred and embrace the continuity of your spiritual evolution. Beautiful facets of your soul still await discovery.

The Power of Acceptance

“Accept – then act. Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it. Always work with it not against it… this will miraculously transform your whole life.”   
~Eckhart Tolle~   

Life is constantly unfolding in unexpected ways. The human condition often prompts a response filled with resistance. We have plans and goals and tend to fight against anything that appears to block the path; however, it’s the journey that is important, not the destination. Acceptance and awareness walk hand in hand, opening doors of new perception and sparking creativity. Honor the sacredness of the present moment through the realization that everything unfolds in the way that is most beneficial for all involved.

How we respond to the events of our lives dictates how much joy we are willing to experience. Begin by mastering your state of consciousness – consistently observe yourself with kindness, face your fears, trust the processes of your growth and know that everything has a purpose on this sacred journey of yours.

Miracles happen with you create space and allow the Divine to surprise you. New people, changes in perception and conscious interactions can alter your life in amazing ways. As we incorporate the lessons, we can flow with changes with incredible grace and faith knowing that all will unfold perfectly.

Be Attentive to the Mystery

Posted on by

Each time you choose to celebrate life, you honor the present moment as sacred. In essence, celebration allows the Divine to recognize itself as it flows through you experiencing the world of form.

No matter what you choose to do, do it mindfully. Take a moment to enjoy the uniqueness of your journey, your preferences, those who grace your life with their presence and all that you’ve discovered thus far. We have much to learn from these simple moments of connection.

The expansion of consciousness is a process. It can come bursting through your experience as an insight or revelation or manifest as a gentle, subtle flow that goes unnoticed until life presents a situation that demonstrates how far you’ve come.

You are here to bring peacefulness into the space you inhabit, to awaken and share your gifts. Your life is meant to be one of discovery – a book upon which you write the story of your choosing. Eventually, you’ll find yourself living outside the cycle of story and drama, treasuring the connection of Oneness within your experience. Then life opens up into new dimensions. Put down the burdens that you have carried and become attentive to the mystery.

Relationships

Posted on by

The foundation of love is acceptance. Judgement is ego-driven, saying “You must change because I am uncomfortable.” Spiritual seekers transform discomfort or fear by working with the imbalance on the inner plane rather than immediately projecting outward. Once the imbalance is cleared, the other’s behavior may lessen or it will no longer elicit a reactive response. Relationships are the most transformative tool we can utilize on the path of awakening.

Healthy love offers support, patience, compassion and space. Ego-driven love demands that others must behave in a way that makes us feel whole. As we vacillate between the two states of being, we may discover aspects of ourselves that require our focus. Our relationships consistently provide opportunities to grow.

When we create harmony within our relationships, we begin to discover who we truly are in the presence of the other. Our multifaceted experience is transformed through exploration of friendships, partnership, lovers, parenting and active participation with our soul group.

Bring conscious presence into your relationships by giving those you love the space they need to grow and thrive. See your connection as a sacred, living expression of Divine love as you walk in beauty and honor the perfection of the journey.

Peace and Magic and Wonder

“The moment you enter the Now with your attention, you realize that life is sacred. There is a sacredness to everything you perceive when you are present. The more you live in the Now, the more you sense the simple yet profound joy of Being and the sacredness of all life.”     
~Eckhart Tolle~ 

Beyond the mechanisms of the mind, beyond the cacophony of life and the intensity of emotion and desire, stillness resides. Limitless possibility is accessible within this spaciousness and we can choose to enter inner stillness at any time.

Cultivate the ability to quiet the mind and be present. This will allow you to see beyond illusion to recognize the sacredness of your true nature and will ultimately bring a greater sense of peace and joy into your life experience.

Mastery calls upon us to take personal responsibility for our state of consciousness in the present moment. Clarity arises from the stillness and we eventually discover that no matter how things may appear, all is well.

This wonderful world of illusion is very real for us, as are the emotions and insights that we experience. You can choose to create your own reality… and that’s the joy of awakening.

Internal Validation

Posted on by

The need for outside validation is an ego-generated journey of frustration and soul crushing compromise. When one constantly tries to determine what others may be seeking, they discover that chasing recognition ultimately leads into the abyss of fear. Many people defer to their inner critic, typically seeking to please others based upon childhood imprinting or societal expectations. The tendency is to put aside their own joy and they walk through life striving to attain outside validation.

Peacefulness comes through internal validation, honoring your strengths and insights, learning from your challenges and knowing that your path is sacred and unique. Once you discover your authentic way of being in the world, everything becomes very simple. You can effortlessly embrace the call of your spirit and consistently demonstrate your level of consciousness, whether or not anyone else is around to witness. Beautiful, vibrant energy flows through you, infusing all that you do with the higher vibrations of love, light and laughter.

As we awaken, we come to understand that life is about being consistent, conscious expression of the Divine. The illusions which surround us become less important as we discover the value of experiencing happiness and fulfillment in the present moment.

Purpose

Posted on by

When we chose Earth as a playground, we selected a role to explore throughout our many lifetimes. This is considered a cycle of experience. Knowing and understanding your role is helpful because it opens a pathway of energy that allows you to fully embrace your true nature. The seven roles (as interpreted using The Michael Teachings) are: Server, Artisan, Warrior, Scholar, Priest, Sage and King.

When you embark upon the quest of self-discovery, you’ll likely notice that many different modalities point you to a similar type of analysis. Astrology, Numerology, The Michael Teachings, and Human Design (as well as systems from times and cultures too countless to mention) all provide insightful pieces of knowledge that align with one another. As you discover information that resonates with that of your inner wisdom, your purpose will become clear.

For some, this means that finding their unique voice might compel them to reject cultural or familial expectations. But once you truly know yourself and embrace your purpose, something powerful falls into place. You can be authentic and consistent as you share your gifts, balance karma and move to higher levels of consciousness.

No matter what unfolds in our collective experience, the roles will blend perfectly, each of us integrating and contributing to the awakening of all.

One With Everything

“I rise to taste the dawn, and find that love alone will shine today.”
~Ken Wilbur~

Everyone has a time of day or evening when their biorhythms and energy align with life. It’s powerful to attune to these moments and build your consciousness practice around them. As you create routines that nourish your soul, realize that consistency develops healthy patterns that will support you at all times throughout your experience.

How you begin your day sets the tone for all that follows. I’ve found that, for me, the early morning hours are perfect for writing, meditation, communing with my guides and listening to the sounds of silence. As the sun rises, I walk in gratitude, a loving witness to the worlds awakening.

The resulting balance creates a foundation for whatever unfolds throughout the day. I can meet love or adversity with a calm mind and heart. Moments of frustration or challenge can easily be transformed into awareness, insight or cultivation of character. To be one with everything is to understand that all of life is participating in your awakening.

Oneness calls upon us to live in a way that is purposeful, sacred and connected. Be one with everything and step into love.

Find Your Bliss

“Being spiritual has nothing to do with what you believe and everything to do with your state of consciousness.” 
~Eckhart Tolle~
In the middle of a soundbath yesterday, my kitty decided to bliss out. She appeared to completely relax, receive and be at peace and it was sweet to see her demonstrate a feeling of safety. This was a gentle reminder that openness allows love to flow. Periodically remind yourself to just be in the Now – no desire, no thought, nothing to prove, no one special to be – and feel the peace that is your true birthright.
.
Life will always show a reflection of your deepest beliefs. As consciousness expands, these moments of connection become more frequent. Seek only to bring the best version of yourself to the present moment, Should you observe any thoughts that disrupt your bliss, bring them out into the light of consciousness. Rather than fight the ego, love it as a teacher knowing that your love is transformative.
.
View life’s experiences as a playground of discovery. Every interaction provides an opportunity to observe your state of consciousness. Celebrate how far you’ve come, correct course when necessary and let your journey be a statement of love.

Presence

“If your mind carries a heavy burden of past, you will experience more of the same. The past perpetuates itself through lack of presence. The quality of your consciousness at this moment is what shapes the future.”
~Eckhart Tolle~

When you find yourself caught up in drama, invariably there is a story attached. Whether personal, familial, or collective, you may notice that the ego seeks to replay all that has led up to the reactivity. If a backstory is needed to justify anger or frustration, consider that the mental or verbal story is compounding and amplifying the energy.

Experiment using the term, “be that as it may…” to neutrally respond to the ego and gently direct attention to this moment. In this moment we can choose how to proceed. Rather than carrying heavy energy of the past, draw your attention present and consider how you can being love to the situation, how you can support another or what you can do to replace the repetitive story with conscious action.

More often than not, that breaks the spell and provides greater clarity. If possible, add a little laughter and kindness into the mix. From there, anything is possible.
