  • The Lotus

    \"\"

    \”The lotus flower is a reminder of the beauty that comes from change, the magic that a new beginning brings, and the seed of potential that’s buried in the most unlikely places.”

    ~Jennifer Williamson~

    Each and every life situation brings us closer to the dynamic, infinite light of our true nature. When we rise above our challenges with insight and gratitude, we receive the ever-expanding gift of wisdom.

    Allow each petal of your being to open and receive the energy of love which rains down upon you. Like the lotus, rise from the depths and reach toward the sun. The great masters teach us to let our beauty shine through, unaffected by the mud or even the waters that surround us – to live in the world but not of it.

    This planet is a playground of discovery. As we rise from the depths of illusion to the clarity of mindful living, we can learn to embrace each moment as sacred. Like the lotus rising out of muddy waters, your flowering is the culmination of absorbing energy and strength from facing challenges. There is no reason to compare or compete. Your awareness is unique and we are graced by your Presence.

  • Rise Above

    \"\"

    “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~

    Transformation happens in the Now. This moment is all that matters. Face it with positive intention and allow the energy to unfold as it will. As you become more aware, you’ll recognize any unconsciousness that arises and cultivate the ability to see through the mechanisms of the mind.
    When working through loss, anger, fear or resentment… notice, notice, notice. See what arises for you. What patterns repeat? What is your inner dialogue? How do you feel? Once you have drawn your awareness to the source of your discomfort, make a conscious choice to take responsibility for it. Experiencing pain is an aspect of the human condition; however, so is rising above.
    You do not need to know all the answers before moving forward. Begin with gratitude and choose to take one conscious step. This trust expands your perception and opens the ability to see more clearly. Act with integrity, do your best and accept what is.

  • Facing Fear

    \"\"
    “Everything you\’ve ever wanted is on the other side of fear.”
    ~George Addair~

    Fear is just another pathway to awakening. What remains hidden silently runs our lives. You can utilize the light of consciousness to transform your shadows into empowerment.

     

    To access Presence in the midst of a challenge, observe that fear has arisen and recognize that it is a by-product of ego-driven thought. When faced with a situation that requires immediate response, we simply move into action. When the mind takes over, we become paralyzed by confusion, “What should I do? What if I make the wrong choice? What if I fail?”

     

    Act from the heart and allow circumstances to unfold as they will. You will either move the energy forward, learn something new or get clarity regarding your true motivations or attachments. See life as the patient and loving teacher it is.

     

    You are far greater than the sum of your experiences or childhood imprinting. The soul seeks to break free of limitation and to expand into the realm of infinite possibility. Continually drop the limiting story line of “me” and explore the world around you with the knowledge that you are loved, guided and supported each and every step of the way.
