Harvest Time

This week is the October full moon on 10-01-2020.  A universal number 6 for this full moon.  A big month is predicted by astrology, numerology, and angelic guidance.  If your living in the US, you are already feeling it heating up!  After listening to my favorite astrologer, Tania Gabrielle, I am feeling more calm about the upcoming month.  Aggression and assertiveness are the two opposing aspects of Mars which is retrograde until November 13, 2020.  Currently, here in the US there is a lot of aggression and assertiveness coming out to be sure with it apparently expected to continue through the election given the retrograde.  Mother earth is reflecting the hot energy being released through forest fires and storms. Breathe.

The number 6 is about birthing, nurturing.  The number 1 is about new beginnings. The number 2 is about balance, harmony.  The number 0 is about journey, secrets from within. So, this October is going to be about us taking time to breathe and to release.  We are busy birthing the new earth and it looks like we will be in labor for all of October!  We will need to find balance this month and focus on harmony for our planet.  As we know better, we hopefully act better.  As individuals, as well as the collective. 

During any retrograde is it important to go within ourselves.  With Mars it is the time to discover the truth; the truth about ourselves; the truth about our world.  Secrets may be revealed and brought into the light during this time.  Again, this is a time for us to breathe and to release that which no longer serves us as individuals and as the collective.  We need to remember to not let the frustration or anger we may feel turn into aggression towards others or ourselves.  Aggression hurts others.  Focus, on being assertive rather than aggressive.  It is okay to feel confident in your beliefs and to live your truth for only you know your path.  You can walk that path with integrity, asserting what is right for you, without hurting another, lashing out at another, or condemning another.

A good example for me is a recent Facebook exchange I had with a distant friend regarding politics.  She was asking for someone on the other side of her beliefs to explain why they felt they way they do.  Innocently, I volunteered to share my beliefs.  I was incredibly careful to explain my beliefs as mine so as not to cause harm to another.  I was met with aggression on the other side. After a few exchanges following the same scenario, I realized there was no point to continue the attempted conversation since no constructive conversation could be had with the underlying aggression against my beliefs on the other side.  I will say now as I said then, it is only through civil discourse can we hope to meet on common ground.  We must let the aggression go and allow each to live their truth.  I do not have to agree with you, and you do not have to agree with me.  It is okay to assert (state a fact confidently) our individual beliefs.  It is not okay to become aggressive (readiness to attack; confront) against another for their truth.  We should always respect one another as human beings but most importantly as divine souls walking their own paths.

I had to let go of that exchange and not let the frustration turn into aggression.  I felt I was trying to have a high-level conversation with low level thinkers.  But who am I to say what is high level or low level?  I do truly wish we could have open, honest discussions about the issues plaguing society because I do not see how we can evolve past them without this discourse to find solutions.  We need to break free of this societal conditioning we are trapped within.  Ugh, I am reminded about the importance of breathing and releasing this month!

We are each connected to the collective mind or collective consciousness of our planet.  Many are facing challenges, fear, frustration, anger, and sadness with this being reflected in the collective mind.  It is so easy to tap into that energy, but it does not serve us holistically or spiritually.  It is important to remember we do not have to spiral with that energy because we can choose again.  With each choice we can choose fear or love, ego or spirit.  I am working on staying mindful and present through meditation, prayer, and uplifting entertainment.  I am not ignoring the plight of my world but feel my best gift or solution is sending love, light, peace, healing, and understanding through my prayers and meditations.  I read once that 1% of a population holding the same intention through meditation or prayer can affect positive physical change.  This is known as the 1% Effect.  We are basically at 7.8 billion people on planet earth which means we need 78,000,000 people sending healing love into our world.

While we cannot see it, every kind word and/or kind deed creates a ripple effect through the collective.  What seems meaningless is actually very meaningful to the collective.  Every act counts.  Every word counts. Every small step counts. Continue to take these small steps on your path and it will lead you to your master path for this lifetime.

So, for this month of October let us be mindful of what we are harvesting.  Resist the urge to react to what is happening on the outside.  Remember to go within to find your own truth – that which resonates with your soul – you will know it because you will feel it.  As new truths present themselves, be open to releasing old beliefs which may no longer serve.  Remember to allow each to walk his/her path.  As we humans work on birthing new earth so does mother earth work on birthing her new truths.  She is evolving too just as she has throughout her history.  Maybe Atlantis will rise – just kidding but I would not be surprised if there are some major shifts on our planet in time.

This is a positive energy meditation that I love and listen to every morning entitled “All is Well” by Gabrielle Bernstein.  Click Here.

There are no coincidences in life.  All is happening as it should.  Help is always available, simply ask Spirit.  Listen to that voice within.  That is your soul voice, your internal guidance system.  All is well.

I Can Breathe

I can breathe.
I am thankful for my life.
I am the master of my life.
It is up to me to be all I can be.
The power comes from within me for I am made in and of God.
Father, son or daughter, and the holy spirit –
together we three make the divine trinity.
I only need to believe to be.
What I think I become.

Challenges, diversity, setbacks all help me to refine who and what I want to be.

When I can see the goodness in my life and give thanks every day for every blessing in my life, my power grows to create more blessings as I see more & more blessings.

God is good. Life is good.

Freedom and prosperity are mine.

I see a world based in love, peace & understanding that we are all one.
We empower ourselves to be free, to love & care for one another.

As we are all one in the body of Christ.

 

 

Breathe, Repeat

There has been so much chaos in my world in the past couple of months. As I write this my stomach churns over the thought of all that is going on in my world. I decided I need to write it out to soothe my nerves. So, as I continue to write, some revelations are dawning on me. It is not really my direct world now is it? It is what is going on with “the virus” around the world and what is going on with protests, demonstrations, and politics in the US, my home country. These things are happening outside of me, myself and I. In fact, where I live in the country you would never know they are going on at all. So, then it is me and my perception that is creating this problem for me. Wow, I need a dose of my own medicine!

I need to turn off the outside world and go within. How many times have I heard that before? How many times have I said that before? Just like the shampoo bottle says to lather, rinse, repeat. I need to read my own blog, breathe, repeat.

I have been wanting to share with you the information I found on duality and its role in our world as well as in our individual lives. I am sure you have heard of the blue pill versus the red pill. Basically, the people on the blue pill have not awakened to their full spiritual essence. People on the red pill have awakened or are starting to awaken to all that is both here on earth and outside of earth including the spiritual world and the galactic world. However, the red pill people are not as “woke” as they think since they continue to live in judgement. In this video by Amanda Ellis she teaches about the violet pill as instructed from Archangel Metatron. It is a long video, almost two hours but so worth watching!!! In fact, I took pages of notes while watching it! I have a whole new understanding of good and evil in our world along with the roles we each play in life. I can see now after this instruction that until we each take the violet pill there can be no peace, love and understanding on earth. We are each here playing the role we signed up for in this lifetime. The question then becomes, how do we transcend that role? I would love to hear your comments on this question and the video – so please share below so we can discuss!!

Violet Pill – Multi-demensional Soul Adventures – Master Teaching by Amanda Ellis

I have been getting this information repeated to me by the universe a lot lately. Aluna Ash is another who has been posting until we all see each as part of each other and our roles we each play in this drama of life we remain separate from source. I made the decision today to unplug since I was letting the chaos take my peace. After rereading a post from Aluna Ash today, I am going on the 3 days of darkness challenge to stay unplugged from the chaos, to maintain a high vibration, and to change my perception to be what I want to see in the world. It’s an excellent post that might require you to read it a few times to fully comprehend it (at least I needed to read it multiple times 😊). As she explains “Although we each hold infinite potential, we are limited only by our perception of ourself, others and the world. To change another, we must change how we perceive the other. To change the world, we must change how we perceive the world. It is all within. If we believe someone to be toxic, it’s not them we need to change- but our perception and belief of them. Others and the world only reflects our private thought conversations and deeper beliefs.” Click here to checkout her Facebook post for the full lesson.

As I write this I am reminded – yet again – of the roles we are each playing on this stage of life. I just need to settle down, to let go, to breathe. I cannot change others views or opinions by sharing information on social media even though there is so much coming out of the shadows and into the light. I am the one that needs to let go. Each will awaken to their own truth in their own time. It is not my job (even though sometimes I think maybe it is) to enlighten another. It is my job to work on enlightening myself. I need to work on changing my perception and in so doing change my world.

There are just so many triggers out there! I must overcome these because they are not going anywhere any time soon. Especially here in the US we will remain in chaos until the election is over that is a given … followed by the aftermath. God help us all! Maybe another pill will come along for that … until then … let go, hold the light, breathe, repeat!

 

Black and Light

These are turbulent times to be sure in the U.S. The promises from many that 2020 was going to be an eye-opening year has certainly not disappointed. Clear vision to see what is really going on is to take place during this year 2020. At many times, I am at a loss for words for it all. At these times, I remember to stop, be still, and give it to God. All will be well in God’s time. The problem is we never know how long God’s time exactly is…so I am waiting and holding the light. During this time, I keep hearing the words from Stop In the Name of Love.

Today, I was chastised for saying ALL lives matter instead of Black lives matter. I believe black lives matter as do yellow, red, brown, white, and olive. Every human life matters, in my opinion. I just think when I say “black” lives matter it shows separation. I am tired of all the separation. We are not separate. We are one. And we all matter!!! We are each uniquely and divinely created in and of God, source of all.

The color black is actually made up of all the colors of the rainbow into one color. The color black represents all the colors of the human race in one color to be technical. So, then let us be technical and when we say black lives matter let us understand that color represents all lives matter. And no, I am not passively racist by saying so. Maybe the ones who are so quick to point and judge others are passively racist. We often see in others what we cannot see in ourselves – mirroring and projection. We all have shadow sides we need to explore. 2020 seems to also be shaping up as a big shadow reveal year. Maybe we are to clearly see our own shadows? After all, how can we create a new earth full of love and peace when we cannot be honest with ourselves and our own shadows?

There is so much injustice in the world for so many people. From the Chinese people under communist rule to Brazil’s struggle for freedom to migrant workers in the field to refugees fleeing from their countries to the native American Indians whose land was taken from them, to the ancestry of slavery, to the immigrant looking for a better life the human plight continues and the list goes on.

As a lightworker, I believe my main purpose is to hold the light, to shine the light, and to share the light with others. What is the light? The light is represented by the high vibrations of love, joy, peace, forgiveness, truth and understanding. The light stands opposite of the dark and yet they are one in our world of duality. Duality was what I thought I was going to write about today because I have learned so much and am anxious to share it with you, but as I started to write, it seemed this is what Spirit wanted me to express first.

Darkness exists in our world just as does the light. Darkness is where the lower vibrations of hate, fear, anger, dishonesty, and greed live. It is in darkness that much evil is perpetrated both figuratively and literally. I think it is because it is hidden in the dark unlike in the light. As it turns dark at night currently, it seems to embolden the violent rioters to inflict more hurt and damage. We each have a choice to live in the dark or live in the light.

I recently learned about Ho’oponopono from the medium I saw during my trip to Texas in February this year. She said it would be a good practice for me to make peace with my inner child and shadow side. I looked up Ho’oponopono on the flight back home. Once I looked it up, I realized this was not something new to me. I had heard and briefly practiced it a year earlier through an activity on the Collective Evolution website.

Ho’oponopono is an ancient Hawaiian practice for healing. Ho’oponopono means to make (ho’o) right (pono) right (pono) to correct relationship problems. Ponopono means “to put to rights; to put in order or shape, correct, revise, adjust, amend, regulate, arrange, rectify, tidy up, make orderly or neat”.

Morrnah Nalamaku Simeona, recognized as a kahuna lapaʻau (healer) in Hawaii brought her updated version of Ho’oponopono to the world. Self I-Dentity through Ho’oponopono® (SITH®) is an updated Hawaiian problem solving process to release memories that are experienced as problems. She was recognized by the State of Hawaii as a Living Treasure in 1983. (https://www.hooponopono.org/)

“If we can accept that we are the sum total of all past thoughts, emotions, words, deeds and actions and that our present lives and choices are colored or shaded by this memory bank of the past, then we begin to see how a process of correction or setting aright can change our lives, our families and our society.”
~ Morrnah Nalamaku Simeona

Dr. Hew Len learned that by using this potent forgiveness and releasing process, one is able to “clear your mind of subconscious blocks so that destiny and desire can take over and help you get what you truly want from life. It clears out unconsciously accepted beliefs, thoughts, and memories that you don’t even know are holding you back.” Dr. Len and Joe Vitale co-authored the book Zero Limits, which chronicles this journey.

So, this is deep, but hang in there and reread it a few times … Dr. Len used this technique by himself to clear past traumas for high security inmates he was working with by practicing Ho’oponopono over their files. Close to quantum science, the fundamentals of Ho’oponopono is that what you observe, you influence. To a certain degree, you have a part of responsibility in what you experience, if not for simply being there as everything is interrelated and all one. In the Hawaiian traditional way of seeing life, we function from the conscious mind that decides everything we do, regulates our habits, etc. The subconscious, also known as the inner child, witnesses everything without words. The subconscious is the scribe to our inner world, thoughts, beliefs, feelings, and memories. Finally, there is the higher self which directly connects us to source, many refer to this as the soul or super conscious. Our higher self is our inside voice, the wisdom part of ourselves that surprises us with amazing insights and maturity. Our higher self, or super conscious, can communicate directly with our subconscious. However, it is difficult for most of us to consciously connect to either the subconscious or super conscious. Therefore, rekindling with our subconscious who has recorded everything could be of great benefit for us to see our shadows and heal ourselves which in turn heals others as we are all one in super consciousness.

Put simply, if we all practice Ho’oponopono with the intent to heal our world then we will in fact heal our world. I have started practicing this every night when I go to bed. You can also practice it while looking at yourself in the mirror.  There are many videos or recordings with the words which I use as I fall asleep. I envision different people as I say the words to myself including envisioning my younger self. Lately, I have envisioned George Floyd and protestors too. I have even envisioned politicians I dislike.  Here are a couple of options, there are many more on YouTube.

Ho’oponopono Song

Ho’oponopono Meditation

Along with practicing Ho’oponopono, I propose we shine a light on the color black. Let us celebrate the color black for what it is – the summation of all color – by shining the light of love, peace, forgiveness, healing, and understanding. I am lighting one candle to symbolize our unity as all one human species on this one earth under our one God, divine Source of All while saying the Ho’oponopono prayer:

I love you.   I am sorry.   Please forgive me.   Thank you.

I genuinely believe as a collective we can affect change in our world by this one simple act of lighting one candle with this intention. Let us shine the light in the darkness of our world. Let us hold this light for all to see, to come home to, to find the peace and healing so many seek.

In the Stillness

The captivity started with the Coronavirus

Next came the captivity of my community

Followed by the captivity of my house

Now I am a captive of my own thoughts

No place to go but within myself

To be still

To know my God

No church open to give me their God

My God calls from within

My God leads me to green pastures

My God comforts me

In this captivity

In this stillness

I know my God

My God is an infinite, loving, abundant God

All will be well says my God

He lives in me and I in Him

No building is needed

Just time

Just stillness born by the illness

In the stillness find your God

He is calling to you

Harken the voice from within

Be still

Be one with your God

Namaste

Stop in the Name of Love

Last night after participating in the global meditation for world healing, this phrase came to my mind … Stop in the name of love, before we destroy ourselves.  Stop the conspiracies. Stop the finger pointing.  Stop the judgement. Stop the politics.  Stop crashing our lives.  My project today was to write it out.  I am no professional by any means but my whole heart was in it.  My intent is to bring ideas for our new earth out into the open for all to think about.  So, here it is enjoy!!

 

Shine Your Light

The time has come to shine my light. I have been waiting, listening, for the point in time it was to be. It came today. Now is the time to write, to shine my light. To remind you, that it is time, as well, to shine your light. I began this journey in September 2018 with a list given to me that in hindsight may have been steps on my journey. This is the last subject on the list, “Shine Your Light.” I have been waiting for over six months for the body of the message to come to me. Five hours ago, it arrived in my life.

There is a great awakening coming upon us being ushered in this weekend by the universe with the Stellium on January 12, 2020. An astrological event that has not happened for 500 years. Many expect this planetary movement will bring sweeping global and personal changes, transitions, and ultimate transformation over the next 12 to 18 months. That sounds impressive… I am interested… and so I listen. Given the events that have occurred in just the first week of 2020, I am intrigued to learn more.

I have watched the news headlines play out much of what I had learned would be coming. Corruption is being exposed at all levels of institutions and structures: government, religious, education, pharmaceutical, media, and within our communities. Some stories were expected while others were a shock. Yet, for the most part we continue with our lives, or at least I continued with my life. I decided it was better to not give my energy to the darkness of the world. I spend my time envisioning an honest and happy world where everyone succeeds. I spend my time cultivating the gift within, which we all have, to co-create a world that makes me happy. (You Create Your Reality) I believe it was time well spent for now the time has come for us all to awaken to our power, to create our lives as we want to live.

I have spent the last six months practicing meditation. (Stay Present, Stay Centered, Stay Connected) It is much easier now for me to connect with the divine and to float in peaceful meditation. I have been practicing honing my intuition. I have been asking for my path to be illuminated and the next step to be clearly shown. Today may be the next step for which I have been practicing without knowing it. Now I am glad I kept practicing 🙂 I continue to be led to new opportunities in my life.  I can chose to listen and follow or ignore those urgings.  For the most part, I have been listening and exploring the next step.  My life is unfolding in new and unexpected ways.  We have moved into a new home, started a new business, and now I feel the urge to write poetry instead of narratives.

What if we could purge what no longer serves in our world? We could give birth to a new paradigm for a new world where we are each empowered to co-create our lives. It sounds too good to be true. I hope it is so. I am ready. Everything happens for a reason. We chose to be here at this time in history. We signed up to be a part of this shift in humanity. 2020 is the year to open our eyes to clearer vision of our world, of our possibilities and of the role we each play.

Turbulent, tumultuous times are forecasted during the shift as we face old paradigms crumbling away to give birth to new ideas and ways much like a woman endures labor to birth her new child into the world. I have birthed two children. The key is to breathe, trust, and allow nature to do its thing. (Rest in the Divine, Not the Illusion)

I am excited about the idea of a new world but also nervous and anxious. My son is active in the national guard and he was put on notice this week to have his affairs in order and to be ready in case the call comes in for his unit to deploy. In my happy world, I was unaware of the events with Iran. I am aware now and paying close attention. While I pray for peace, I am willing to fight against evil. When the time comes, everyone will have to take a stand to shine light or to hide in darkness. Unfortunately, that is the world we live in now but maybe not for long. (Out of the Shadows and Into the Light) Maybe a new world of peace, empowerment, equality, and respect will evolve … as we humans evolve.

Some Tips & Tricks for the Shift in Consciousness:

• Mind + Soul + Light: We were each born with inner guidance to navigate this life. Use it.

• If you get the feeling you should do more research on a subject, belief, or event, then do it. That is your inner guidance directing you. Listen to it. Find out what it wants you to know.

• Turn off the devices now and then so you can interact with what’s alive in the world: people, animals, plants. Listen. Learn.

• What’s your impact in the world? Is it positive? Are you who you want to be?

• Allow what is being revealed to flow. Do not judge. Allow it to come fully into the light.

• By accepting what is, then you can then ask how can I respond? Listen to your inner guidance. It will answer to lead you, if you allow it and accept it.

• The ego mind will promote fear, distrust, drama. Reject the ego mind. Don’t fall down the rabbit hole of drama.

• Through challenge, we all grow. Trust in the process. Instead of reacting – observe, see clearly all sides, listen to inner guidance, trust your intuition, then respond through the light of love.

In 2020, our vision is evolving. We are evolving. Listen to your heart, head and soul calling to you. Turn off the distractions. Be present to the world around you. The choice is always yours by divine will. (We are Light Beings). You can resist or participate in our changing world. But just remember, we are all one. (We are All One) If All are moving forward, where will you be? Trust all will be well. All will be as it should be in the end. Darkness only wins when you don’t shine your light. The light melts fear away. This is the year to shine your light! Shine it brightly! Be the you, you have always wanted to be. How will you know? It feels like you are coming home…Welcome Home!

Allow Love, Allow Light, Allow Blessings

All things happen in divine right timing … that’s Synchronicity! I have been experiencing a lot of synchronicity lately. A meaningful coincidence is known as synchronicity and has been discussed in both scientific and spiritual worlds. Many also know this as being in synch with your life. To be in synch everything just seems to flow and come along in divine right timing for your highest good. I am starting this post reviewing synchronicity for it was through this divine timing that certain people, books, and information have crossed my path to give me the answer for this post’s focus. I was given the title and my life path was to lead me to the answer.

I believe I have found the answer to be in finding balance between giving and receiving. We each have a physical heart, but we also have a spiritual heart. Our soul resides in our spiritual heart also known as our higher heart. Our higher heart houses our higher self. To allow our higher heart to awaken we must find balance between giving and receiving in our lives. We must have an open higher heart to receive the blessings in our lives.

For most people it is easier to give than to receive, at least it is for me. I have been working on being a gracious receiver of life’s blessings lately. I am learning to accept the beauty of life’s gifts with great appreciation along with many verbal thanks and more thanks. I am learning to not feel guilty that I am not deserving enough, or I am not in need. I am learning to allow others to do for me. For each should have the opportunity to serve and if I don’t allow someone to serve me, then how am I to expect others to allow me to serve them. Now you know I am not talking about the takers in life because we each know some people who always take and never give. I am talking about the givers in life. If you are a giver, it is important for you to learn to receive – joyfully!!!

You know how it feels to give the perfect gift and to watch the joy, to feel the appreciation, and to see the results of giving that perfect gift? Well, that is how the universe feels too! Just like you it wants to give the perfect gift. Just like you it wants to witness the joy that gift brings. Just like you it is disappointed if the gift is not appreciated. Just like you it will stop giving if its gifts do not bring joy and thanksgiving.

Giving is choosing to love and choosing light;
Receiving is allowing love, allowing light and allowing blessings into your life.

Let’s all chose to light up with love and allow blessings by connecting to divine source, God of All, through opening our higher heart in giving and receiving. None of us are alone on our life path. Light and love are always available to us – we just need to remember to ask. You see the outer world tries to convince us we are separate from God; separate from each other through race, religion, sex; separate from other cultures and countries. Be we are not separate for we all have a higher heart which is a direct connection to the divine source of ourselves and of God. We are all one. All are connected. When we approach life from love, we can see our connectedness.

As we connect with one another, we either give or receive. We each need to find balance in this exchange. Sometimes that means saying “no” and sometimes that means saying “yes.” If you not sure which one you should be saying, then stop and ask yourself, ask you higher heart. Which answer truly honors your higher self? You will know the answer by how you feel. A light feeling means yes, and a heavy feeling means no. Love yourself enough to be true to yourself, true to your feelings. It is okay to say no, and it is okay to say yes – as long as – the answer brings you a feeling of being uplifted not weighed down.

My sister is a perfect example of needing to find balance. She always says yes to whatever is asked of her to do regardless of how it affects her life. She also typically says no to anyone offering to help her. This type of constant giving to others leaves her drained and unable to be open to receiving. When you constantly say no to others offers to help, then they stop offering. Likewise, the universe will stop offering.

My challenge to her and to you if this sounds familiar, is to say yes to the next person who offers you assistance of any type. That person has crossed your path at that time for a purpose! Say yes and allow the universe to bring you that purpose. Allow that purpose and its blessings into your life! Be open to choose and to allow. Once you choose blessings over burdens, you will have miracle follow miracle in your life … once you allow it into your life.

The one big caveat … you must relinquish control! You must not resist the universe by trying to control how another helps you. It is okay to let go and let it happen. I see this often too. Someone will say yes to my help and then want to tell me how to do it for them. Let go already! I learned this working as a manager. An employee cannot spread their wings and fly if I keep them on a string or in a cage. In many cases, I learned new ways of doing things by allowing others to help me and allowing them to do it their way.

How do I get there? Spirit reminds me that practice makes perfect! I need to practice every day to open my heart. To approach life from an open heart is to choose to operate or give from love and light while also allowing love and light to flow back and to be received into my heart. I have been practicing an open-heart meditation lately that has really been helping me to shift into a higher life path. So, I would like to share it with you:

Open Heart Meditation (practice for 5 – 10 minutes each day)
Get comfortable in a spot with no distractions. Close your eyes. With sincere intention pray or say the following aloud or silently: Archangel Michael be with me now. Protect me and guide me to open my heart to connect with you. Then picture in your imagination your heart with a door or a window that opens to green pastures. Keep repeating with sincere intention while seeing your heart open to the green fields in your minds eye. Stay open to allow the blessings to come in. When you feel the slightest ache in your heart you know your heart is opening. I suggest keep practicing until the feeling of the open heart becomes easier and easier for you to achieve with your intention.

Do you have any ideas on giving and receiving? Do you have any ideas on maintaining balance in this area of your life? Please share below so we can all help one another …

Embody Your Highest Light, Your Highest Truth

As I sit and ponder this divinely inspired topic, I think this is a conscious choice we must actively decide if we want to live it. It is not a one-time deal or decision. It is a day by day active decision much like any habit we are trying to form before we can live it without consciously thinking about it. I still remind myself to stay centered in light and love every day! It seems there is almost always a daily challenge that comes up where I have to remind myself to breathe and consciously choose the light. The good news is it is easier and easier to change my thoughts, actions and vibration to that of the light which is the highest truth I want to live!

The secret to my success is to ask! Ask for help from God, Holy Spirit, Angels. They are all real and all eager to assist and help … but must be asked! This is due to the Right of Free Will. If you need a review on this check out the post Lift the Veil and Guard Your Right of Free Will. Basically, the spirit world may not intervene in the physical world unless given permission. So, say Yes! And Ask!

Your highest light is going to be grounded in love and service for all. Each person will have their own definition of their highest light – or – the way in which they can bring love and help others in the process to evolve. For me, writing these posts are a big part of shining my light in the world. If one person is moved to be a better version of his or herself, then I have helped another by shining my light and love. We all must start somewhere, and this is my start to embody my highest light, my highest truth and to put it out there in the world. It doesn’t have to be big. You just have to start.

I spend time volunteering as a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) once a month for a few hours. That’s another start. I am happy to cook and clean for my family and friends which is another avenue to shine my light. If I post on social media, I am conscious now to make it positive and to be a reflection of the light and of my truth. If I am going to participate in an event, outing, or show, I pay attention to whether my participation is in line or in vibration with embodying my highest light, my highest truth. I am doing it one day at a time and you can too! One decision at a time to be the person you want to be in this world.

Spend time just pondering this topic for the next few days to see how it reveals itself to you.   What comes up for you?  How do you shine your highest light? Your highest truth? Do you have any secrets on accomplishing this that just might help me or others? I would love to hear about it, please comment below!!! In closing it seems appropriate to have a prayer which includes asking for assistance in living our highest light and truth!

Dear Lord of All,
Open my eyes to see,
Open my ears to hear,
Open my heart to feel,
Give me the courage to shine my light of love in this world today, tomorrow,
and the day after that,
Give me strength to keep going and to not give up on my dreams or myself or on you,
Give me wisdom to know the way,
I ask this today and everyday,
that you walk with me, guiding me, leading me
I ask that you shine your light and your truth ahead of me
that I might know you, to follow you,
I thank you for all that is and ever will be,
I ask all this in gracious gratitude for, so it is,
Amen.

Stay Present, Stay Centered, Stay Connected

Happy 2019!  Are you ready for this year to be the best year yet?  I am!  I have included a free guide sheet for you to make 2019 a year to remember!  Time for new beginnings, new resolutions, and new goals!  Actually, each day is an opportunity for these too!  Let go of the past and focus on today!  I have been living with these words for a while now since this post has been in the back of my mind since before the holidays.  So, over the holidays I tried hard to do just that – to let go of the old, to stay present, to stay centered, and to stay connected – to me.

The holidays are usually filled with a little drama in my family.  I have a big family with six brothers and sisters who all have families of their own now.  I have learned that dysfunction seems to run in all families big or small particularly at the holidays.  In the past, I would feed into the drama and get caught up in reliving old wounds or predicting new ones to come.  I am happy to report I had a stress free, no drama, happy holiday after practicing being mindful, letting go of judgement, and staying centered in love and light.  Now before you roll your eyes, it wasn’t as easy as it sounds.

There were a few triggers that I almost succumbed to, but I was able to remind myself to just be an observer and not a participant.  Believe it or not, it worked!  When I wanted to say something that wasn’t in line with who I wanted to be, I just took a breath instead while listening and observing as though I were in a scene of a play.  Through my spiritual journey, I am learning to step back, observe, and ask why certain things have shown up in my life.  After all, as we discussed in a previous post, we do create our reality.  So, for some reason my life is giving me what I asked for, even if I am not aware I asked for it.  The question then becomes, what am I to learn from what has shown up?

If I want to continue to grow and evolve on my spiritual path to love and light, then I must recognize the lessons along the way.  I am finding it easier to recognize the lessons when I stay centered in love and connected to spirit.  I am also finding it easier to find the blessing in each lesson as I go along.  As I find the blessing, gratitude for my life increases as well.  This has been my focused path for 2018.  While I am happy with my progress, I still have a long way to go and am looking forward to 2019 being a spectacular year on my journey!

During 2018, I really concentrated on becoming mindful in my daily living.  If you haven’t noticed “mindful” is the new buzz word for improving your health, your life, and just about everything else.  To be mindful is to stay in the present moment.  To slow our minds from going over the past or planning the future but rather to be fully conscious of today.  To be conscious or awake enough to pay close attention to the details of what we encounter in the present day we are living.

I had to get honest with myself and I am asking you to do the same.  Are you mindlessly going through life or mindfully going through life?  Most of us, myself included, are so busy with the day-to-day of life that we are living on autopilot which translates to mindless living.  I am suggesting you turn off the autopilot to be fully engaged in every moment of your day.  Manually take a moment to think about each thought, word, or action you take in your day.  At first it is a little awkward since it is new, but you will quickly adapt with practice.  I can guarantee you will begin to see your life in a whole new way!

To help you get started I put together a short guide on beginning to live mindfully.  It is just two pages double-sided.  The first one talks about the benefits and the short 2 step process to get started.  The second page is full of mindful practices for you to explore.  I am freely giving this in service to all, while following my mantra to give what you want, share what you have, and to be the source.  Click to download:
