Understanding is a tremendous gift...

I've been on a spiritual journey for quite some time...learning about the connectedness of all living things, where I fit in and how God's way--the law of love--is the right way.  It's about giving up control...letting spiritual guidance lead the way, and leaving behind what doesn't...what can't...work. 

Tunneling deep inside to the essence of me...knowing self...is key to understanding.  Who am I? What am I? What is my purpose?  Ah....the eternal questions we all ask.  Look closely...very closely...at your life.  Do you hold onto negativity and pessimism?  Do you judge others and yourself?  Do you love yourself?  Yes....do you LOVE yourself.  In spite of all the flaws you think you have, you are a wonderful soul....divine in every way.   And you are loved....deeply loved.  Your divine family--angels, guides, loved ones on the other side and God--love you unconditionally.  Are you able to do that too?  Can you move past the limitations and expectations you and others put in place and embrace the truth?  Can you break the shackles of anger, guilt, blame and worry and set yourself free to really and truly love?  It's not easy.  It takes real introspection...real honesty with yourself.

Holding onto that emotional garbage is self-destructive and affects every area of your life--from health to relationships.  Dump it.  Take a chance that life can be better....even joyous.  When you open the door of your soul to the truth that love is the only governing force in the universe...the only thing that matters....life starts to 'click' into place.  It's as if you fall in love with everyone....you begin to see that the journey we are all on is necessary and amazing.  We will all arrive at our destination eventually....total alignment with the creative forces...with God.  

The path is tough as new challenges are always placed in front of us, so take baby steps and be kind to yourself.  One day you will wake up (after sleeping VERY well) with a new-found optimism....a sense of wonder....even joyous expectation.  WOW.  You get it....unconditional love for life...for all.  Now the universe rewards you.....you deserve it. :)

Namaste....




 

Time for a cool change

No....I'm not referring to the weather outside but the weather inside US.  The word 'change' instills fear in many, myself included.  When we come to a crossroads in our lives, a time when important decisions must be made, we have two choices:  forge ahead and hope for the best, or plant our feet and remain where we are.  The former takes courage, the latter, fear.  

It's never easy to accept change is necessary or to implement it.  Far, far easier to maintain the status quo and ignore the situation demanding attention even when it's screaming in your ear.  It's downright scary to venture into new and uncharted waters, to take that leap of faith.  Finding a new career, embracing a new relationship, letting go of the past or daring to think differently are all things to be embraced or things to be feared.

Change is important.  Change is GROWTH.   It's a self-learning experience, a way to look inside ourselves and see what we're really made of...to find out how much we can really accomplish...to see just what strength we possess.  Believe me, we are stronger than we think and able to accomplish more than we know. 

If you're contemplating a change in your life and feeling the nervous knots that such thoughts plant in your stomach--the fear of the unknown-- take a deep breath, hold your nose and jump in anyway.  Don't worry...you've got a life preserver--your divine family is holding you afloat.  You won't sink.  They've got you, you're going to be fine.  And what's more....you're going to THRIVE.

Namaste.
