Let It Be!

Let It Be.Let It Be.Let It Be. Let It Be.  There Will Be an Answer....Let It Be.  ~The Beatles

 

I continue to enjoy the the benefits of having taken time to be silent.  That time of in-to-me-see (intimacy) allowed me to reconnect with the rhythm of my soul.  My needs and desires are simplified when I listen to and hear the voice of my soul.  This clarity helps define my intentions. Clear intentions help me live consciously.  When I live consciously, I know my thoughts, words and deeds serve the highest good.

I see the connectedness of life; connectedness to all things.This helps me let go of judgment. Judgment stops the flow, just as division does.  Neal Donald Walsch says that differences allow us to experience new ideas at the same time we experience ourselves while division stops that process.  Judgment is a form of division.  When I judge an event, a situation, a person, place or thing, a religion, a political view, a thought, an action...anything...as good or bad, right or wrong, I've separated my connection; divided myself from that which is.  Instead, when I allow an event, a situation, a person, place or thing, a religion, a political view, a thought, an action...anything...to be as it is and recognize the experience as an opportunity to BE, I remain connected to Life, to all that is.  I am not in conflict with myself or others. I Let It Be.

I certainly have my preferences, and when I recognize that they are preferences and not measure sticks to judge others, I find peace.  And I like feeling peaceful!  I Let It Be.

Hope you all are having a Great Day!  

Namaste.

Intimacy ~ In-to-me-see

I'm finding my rhythm. I found it in the silence. I've taken some extra quiet and meditation time this past week and am emerging slowly and cautiously. I've enjoyed the action of going inward and discovering that very quiet voice inside, instead of the busy, loud one that had been running scared.

I have a friend who first introduced me into the concept of playing with words. For instance, the word intimacy...in-to-me-see. When I have an intimate relationship with myself I am seeing my soul in it's true and honest state. I've slowed down and listened to my heart's desire. I've stripped the layers of protection away...the ego's protective guard dogs are resting!

It is the same in an intimate relationship with another. There is a vulnerability in intimacy that helps me see my soul, but also allows me to see another's soul and their vulnerability. Again, it is a going-inward that brings me to the truth.

I'm so grateful to have taken this time. I still functioned during this time, but when not required of me, I remained silent and contemplative in addition to meditating. I'm feeling stronger because I've rediscovered the rhythm of my thoughts, beliefs, values and am honoring the rediscovery of intimacy with myself.

I welcome new life to the family! My sister-in-law and her husband are the proud parents of a daughter born Saturday around 5 pm. Hayden Louise is her earth name and I know she remembers the spiritual place she recently left to share her beautiful energy with us. We are blessed.

Honor your life today and I'll be over here honoring mine....Namaste.

Be True to Your Self

"To Thine Own Self Be True."

I'm working on it! That means supporting myself rather than abandoning myself, as is my habit. Supporting myself is scary when I'm busy trying to "play nice", "keep the peace" or otherwise concerned with how I might be perceived. This is the message that has been coming to me repeatedly over the past couple of months.

More and more I have been unable to tell myself a story that is no longer true. I've heard that the body does not lie, so if my body does not match the story I'm telling, it's time to be true with myself!

I'm in the middle of this process and honestly, it's quite uncomfortable. I don't always handle it with grace and dignity, but I will not abandon myself in this...I will keep on defining and then speaking my truth, in my thoughts, words and deeds.

I'm so grateful for the process of discovery and love how I get to explore my soul at all levels!

I'm looking forward to our new niece's arrival and thank you for the support you've offered for my brother and his wife!

Namaste.

Human Being vs Human Doing

Some days are just meant to be slow, loving days. Today is one of them. I hear my inner voice pushing me to do....something, anything...but not feeling guided toward anything in particular. It feels "upstream" to push myself into work today. But that voice keeps after me....do something.

I will do something. I will just be. I will spend time with my companion and not have any expectation. I will be a human-being; not a human-doing. That is my challenge for the day. "Be" not "Do". Discovering the joy in "being". Allow the loud voice to quiet down; calm down. Do the small fun tasks today, no pushing, no bullying, no forcing.

Hmm, nurturing my spirit. Hope you will nurture yours and discover the joy of a human being.

Namaste.

Personal Responsibility, Karma and...Joy?

Hey everybody, I hope you created a week that filled your spirit and that this new week, you create another one!

Recently, "karma" was brought to my attention three different times, all in the same context. Something happened to three different people that they didn't like and all three (and however many they reached on facebook and other ways) responded by threatening that "karma would get the them" or that somehow bad karma would follow these people that had done the action that caused harm. While the events that happened to these three people were really upsetting experiences and I empathize with them, I think threatening someone with the Law of Karma is an interesting yet unproductive way to respond to the situation! I have to admit, I too used to use Karma as a threat too.

Having recently studied the Law of Karma in our Second Sunday Spirit Food Group, I was reminded of some things I'd learned throughout the years about Karma as well as developed a new and stronger understanding of and respect for the Law.

Not surprisingly, we have somehow turned this misunderstood life-lesson-learning-Law into yet another threatening, big-stick brute force, abusive, fear- and guilt-based punishment! And I suppose we will continue to do so until we let go of that type of fundamental belief and value that is permeated throughout our every thought! fear, guilt, shame. These are things we learned, not what is in our heart. As such, we can easily learn and practice a new way of honoring the Law of Karma. It is called Personal Responsibility.

It is true that if I intend or say or do something that is harmful, I have put it out into the Universe and that which I put out, will come back to me.

Please think about that. Re-read it. Ahh, is it registering? YES! We are such quick and intelligent people! We got it! The very thing we hated that happened to us, happened to us for a reason, and that reason is....Karma! So while we want to blame someone else for our circumstances, and even threaten them with the punishment of Karma, we seem to loose sight of why we were even involved in the first place! Life is one learning experience after another and I can either use the opportunity to learn and raise my vibration so the lesson is not repeated, in the case of a painful experience; or repeated often and even more often, in the case of a joyful experience. Because remember, Karma works in Joy also (and that which we focus our attention on....)

I am reminded of the saying: First time, shame on you; second time, shame on me. While a slightly different version of (negative) Karma, it reminds us of the same thing. While I would re-write it to say: "First time, I'll defer responsibility to you since it is your intention/word/action; second time, I'll take a look at what I'm intending, saying or doing that is drawing this life-lesson to me." I would write it that way because I have no reason for shame and neither do you. But it is how it is said in our society and it does get the point across. (And also my point that we live in a fear- and guilt-based society and until I free myself from that belief and value...I am doomed to repeat it. Hmmm sounds like Karma to me!) It also suggests that by putting off looking at it the first time, there will be a second time...so perhaps we could just look at it the first time. That isn't always possible and once we see a pattern it becomes easier to respond. Also, I'd like to mention that everything that happens, happens for a reason. It is not "random" that what happened to me, happened to me. What happened to me may not look like what I put out there in the first place, but when it comes back to me, there is no doubt, no question, that I put something out there. It has now become my opportunity to learn and grow and become a stronger, smarter, more self-true person.

What I'm saying is that by accepting personal responsibility for my intentions, words and actions, I have the opportunity to learn more of what Life is offering. When I learn more of what Life is offering, I do not have to repeat painful experiences. When I don't repeat painful experiences, I create Joyful ones. When I create Joyful experiences, I discover more of what Life is offering.

And that, for me, is what Karma is...creating Joyful experiences so I discover more of what Life is offering.

May your week bring you many joyful experiences. I wish Joyful Karma unto You!

Namaste.

Differences and Division

Differences confirm, and make possible, your experience of Who You Are. Divisions confuse, and render impossible, that experience. Without the differences between here and there, up and down, fast and slow, hot and cold, none of these things could be experienced. Yet there is no division between here and there, up and down, fast and slow, hot and cold. These are merely different versions of the same thing. Similarly, there are no divisions between black and white, male and female, Christian and Muslim. These are merely different versions of the same thing.
Friendship With God
Neale Donald Walsch
Page 405

I really liked this "daily thought" I received! I love learning new things, trying new things and as such, am so glad there is diversity! This allows me to learn something "different". Yet sometimes I get afraid or feel threatened by that which I do not know or understand and instead of embracing it, I resist it. I now have a point of reference for those times I am resisting that which I am unfamiliar with. I find I am particularly challenged when it comes to people who believe that their way is The Only Way. I suppose it is because I believe that MY way is The Way!

Like this reading. I believe it and I think it is the truth. However, I know people who would not believe this and argue against it. Therein lies the choice to be "divided" or to allow us to be "different". And in our difference of thought lies our sameness...we each believe that our way is the truth. It helps me to know we are different versions of the same thing because then we cannot be divided. The "same" cannot be divided nor is it separate.

I think I chose the business name "All One Spirit" because it is what I believe in my heart. We are all connected, there is a common thread between all things which creates a beautiful tapestry called life. Because we are energy vibrating at variable speeds, we vibrate at "different" speeds at "different" times. So, in my vibration as I speed up and slow down, I recognize you as you vibrate up and down, but we are really different versions of the same thing.

I intend I remember that we are All One Spirit; we are simply "different versions of the same thing". Post your thoughts and lets have a conversation...after all, we are the same only different!

Namaste.

Gratitude

No matter where I am in life~how I feel, what I think~whether I'm depressed or joyful~Gratitude is always there. When I take the time to look for it and appreciate it! It doesn't change my circumstances, however, it does change my outlook. When I approach my moment from an "attitude of gratitude" it is a more empowering, fulfilling moment. And the truth is we only have this moment. No more, no less.

Sometimes I think I am broken and need fixing. Not true. When I meet myself where I am, no matter where that is, I can find gratitude. When I find gratitude, I find I am empowered to move, adjust what I thought was broken and reap the rewards of my action.

Many people think gratitude is a thought or feeling. While it is those things, it is also an expression, an action. When I feel gratitude, movement is sure to accompany it...if not, then what I am feeling is not gratitude!

I've found helpful the suggestion to write my gratitude list every day. Start with 5 things, and every day add 5 things to my list. When I am feeling broken and can't find gratitude, the list serves as a tool, a reminder, of the many people, experiences and things I am grateful for.

Today five things I am grateful for are: 1) My healthy soul, mind and body; 2) My husband, family and friends; 3) My passion expressed through my successful business, All One Spirit; 4) My home and the ability to nurture and care for it; 5) Laughter, Joy & Happiness.

What are 5 things you are grateful for?

Perfection, Integrity and True Beliefs

August 9, 2010:

"It's far better to face the consequences of your true beliefs than to compromise your integrity."

-unknown

"I gently return to equilibrium, nurtured by a well spring of love. I, the soul, am washed and soothed by the quiet energies of stillness. Embracing the vastness of my inner landscape, I understand the cycles of growth and decay. -Neale Donald Walsch

Do I really understand that everything is perfect just as it is? Do I really understand that to deny this truth is to deny that the Universe is always in support of me, or in other words, to deny God? Do I really understand that I AM perfect just as I AM? I am not broken. I don't need fixing. I understand the cycles of growth and decay, and that if I am feeling discomfort, sadness, anger, fear or anything challenging or uncomfortable, it means I am holding on to something that no longer works for me. It does not mean I need fixing or healing, it means I am perfect as I am and I can let go of that which no longer belongs to me. My vibration has changed.

I am often afraid to face the consequences of my true beliefs and instead compromise my integrity. I don't know if I fully understand why I am afraid...there are many reasons. I may not be accepted, I may have to change some things, I don't want to do the work right now...

However I understand that it will come to me in time, if I allow it. Instead of running off in many directions trying to change or fix what I think is broken, I can, instead, gently return to harmony, allowing the stillness of perfection to lead me where I need to be.

I realize that healing is an inside job. So many of us get caught up in looking outside of ourselves for a fix, for something or someone outside of ourselves to heal us. Some look to alcohol, drugs, sex, friends, government, religion, healers, stones, crystals, doctors, gurus, etc. The truth for me is: 1) if I am looking outside of myself for an answer, I am compromising my integrity, for the answer lies within and 2) people, places and things outside of me are tools to aid me to equilibrium and harmony, thus returning me to my true beliefs. They are not the be-all, end-all cure! So, when I am not looking inside for the answer I use the tools outside of me to help me find the answer, knowing they will guide me to my inner truth.

This means I use my gift of discernment to determine from who, what and where I seek my support. They do not fix or heal me. They support me. (And this means I automatically support them, for one cannot exist without the other.) This is empowerment. This is healing. This is perfection. Anything else is turning my power, my responsibility, my life over to someone else.

I can't speak for you. This is my voice, my belief. I suspect, however, for some of you this will ring true. For others, not. If this has affected you one way or another, I ask you to consider it. Think about it. Find out what fits for you, what doesn't. And then ask yourself why. You are invited to face the consequences of your true beliefs.

Namaste.

Monday Morning Motivation

Motivation. Where does it come from and how do we get it??!!!

I'm discovering that for me, it begins with my passion. When I do things I love, the motivation comes. I've set up several things throughout the week that I love so to accomplish them, it requires I take pre-action. For instance, having my office and healing room out of my home has helped me keep my home clean! I gotta keep it simple here folks! But the motivation to clean escapes me often, so having this set up helps!

Then, I was recently reminded that I could set a timer for 30 minutes and tackle a project just for that time-span. When the timer goes off, I stop. That has helped me out too, though I must say sometimes I do 15 minutes ~ that works too.

But I guess just picking a place and starting. Just a little. The universe is always in support of us ~ ALWAYS!! No matter what. So, no matter where I am (or where you are) I can just start from there. Then applying the little sayings learned throughout life has helped, like "easy does it, but do it" or "one thing at a time" and then adding some encouragement like affirmations help too. Slowly, if I allow myself the time (aka practicing patience) I begin to build momentum, or a foundaiton. From there, it just keeps building!

I just finished a weight release class that was taught by Dave Oreshack and held here at AOS. I learned quite a bit about EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) Tapping. Tapping helps calm the emotions and, as an emotional eater, it calms me enough to think before I act! I figured if it could help me in times of cravings, it could help me throughout the day on anything, whether I could identify a feeling or not! It has helped! In fact, I just start tapping for no reason, other than to believe that it is releasing whatever needs to be released. It is not necessary that I know what it is or why it is there....just release it!

Tapping uses the meridians throughout our body (similar to acupuncture) and releases blocked energy. It has helped me. For instance on week 1 I tapped to release emotions around night eating, in particular popcorn (which I ate alot of several times a week!!). Since that first class 3 weeks ago, I have not had popcorn and my night eating is reduced to 4 times in 3 weeks! Now you gotta understand this is nothing short of a miracle! It is building a foundation to helping me in other areas. I'm building momentum, becoming motivated to do more, try harder, etc. My clothes are already fitting me better and my back, hips, legs, knees, ankles and feet are singing my praises every day as they dance through a day! (OK well, they just feel better overall).

I guess I'm rediscovering, as I go through the circle of life, that just making a small start, anywhere, somewhere, can build momentum and motivation. I'm grateful it's here today.

Namaste.

Ahhh, the Beautiful, Wonderful Breath

Happy Tuesday! I awoke yesterday quite exhausted! Hmmm, nights sleep, wake up, exhausted?? Then, I took in a breath. I think it started from a yawn, but when I inhaled, I realized I was oxygen-deprived! I took in the nice refreshing oxygen and relished the feeling as my lungs expanded. The air felt cool and revitalizing. I was surprised to realize that I'd been deprived of oxygen while sleeping.

Several times throughout the day I'd had conversations with friends about breathing, without having mentioned my morning experience. Then, last evening, my beautiful friend and sister-in-law who is 7 months pregnant spoke of breathing and how calming and relaxing it is for her, especially now (she also if I'd gotten my weekly blog out yet.... :-0 )!

So I was once again reminded how important our breath is. It is something that we all do, sometimes more consciously than others. Breathing into my fears, my anger, my stress, my overwhelm, my joy, my beauty, my meditation, my food...

I am taking a weight release program using tapping and hypnosis that is held at All One Spirit and is taught by Dave Oreshack, a successful tapper and hypnotist! I have already made changes easily where food and eating is concerned! In light of my breathing (or not breathing as the case may be) at night, I am aware I may possibly have sleep apnea, which is sometimes (but not always) helped by weight loss. I find the synchronization of the breathing awareness and the weight release to be acknowledged and appreciated!

I hope you are all breathing deeply, lovingly and appreciating each and every breath you take! Allow it fill you, relax you, revitalize you and love you.

Namaste.

Tapping to the Changes!

Hello! I attended the weight release program held here at All One Spirit last night. Have Dave Oreshack training us in tapping and hypnosis...combining tools to use so when the cravings come they can be released via tapping, and with hypnosis we are changing the subconscious or unconscious mind, which drives the conscious mind....

Well, so far its working! I've tapped several times with several messages, and I'm holding my image and thoughts of my goal. I am learning at a new more conscious level, my thoughts and patterns regarding food and exercise. It is interesting to learn and I'm not feeling intimidated!

I intend to stay conscious of my goal, and use the tools I am learning. I believe that these tools combined with my intention to change, my commitment to change, I am successful!

It is a journey I've started at this time and I intend the path to be a beautiful journey filled with many new experiences and a few tears as I shed the unwanted, no longer needed burdens!

Namaste.

I Am Perfect!

Hey, I must have been on summer vacation or something! But I'm back :)

So I'm really focusing on change through cell regeneration. I've worked with this for years and I'm refocusing my efforts. Emotional and physical changes have brought this to light again and my healing mentors have brought it to my attention again.

If you are not sure of what cell regeneration is, think back to school days when we learned that our cells regenerate continuously and that we actually are forever giving birth to new eyes, ears, organs such as spleen, liver, etc. And while I forget the time line on the regeneration of those things, I do remember it takes 7 years to regenerate a complete new skin. It just begs the question, "If we re-create the parts of our bodies with new parts many, many, many times in our lifetime, how is it possible that we still have disease and sickness? How is it possible that we have emotional distress?"

Well, as we learned in school, our cells reproduce from memory. They reproduce what they know. That is their function. Case closed? No! Our cells have memory!! What if....

I've read books about how people have, through changing the memory in their cells, reproduced healthy parts of their body. Psychiatrists, Kinesiologists, Chiropractors, Hypnotists, Energy Healers all know this to be true from our experiences. We can change the memories of our cells so that when they reproduce, they reproduce the new memory.

There are many approaches to changing our memories. What methods are you using? I'd love to have this discussion! What are you creating?

For me, I use the modalities that resonate with me. There are so many out there. As a Reiki Master, Hypnotist, Meditator, Celebrant, and seeking guidance from others, I am immersed in a way of life that supports this type of change. It is my life's work.

My mantra as of late is "I am perfect". When I say this, I realize I am whole and complete. I really shouldn't have to say more than that, because that is all there is to say. I don't need to explain what that means. It is all-inclusive. I am Perfect.

Namaste.

Awaken and Allow: The Art of Vulnerability

Awaken and Allow yourself to have a Great Day Today!

Thanks to KJ for comments on last blog, sharing the 3 principles connected with the law of least effort! If you haven't checked them out, it's worth the read!

Hmmm. These past two weeks I have been vulnerable. Vulnerable in this situation meant putting myself out there even though I wanted to hide what was going on. I did that. It also rocked me to the core, filleting me to my bones. However, I've come to believe I could trust that no matter what, the Universe is always in support of me. No matter what, everything that happens is for my greatest good. Because I could trust that outcome, I was able to become vulnerable enough to bare my soul.

When it was over, I felt raw and again, very vulnerable. In this situation vulnerable meant I felt fragile. I could have done what I usually do: isolate and push forward. Instead, I nurtured my spirit and slowly, calmly asked myself what I needed to feel whole again. I did what came to mind. While I spent time alone just simply allowing me to be, I did not feel isolated. I felt responsible. Responsible to protect myself. I was gentle and kind and didn't "pick myself up by the boot straps" or "kick it into gear" or "suck it up" or any other harsh, pushy things we usually coach ourselves with. No, I wandered with purpose, contemplating where I go from here. I didn't judge myself and allowed myself to be.

As I slowly rejoin my life, I find that I am responding differently. Just in small ways; taking care of myself in ways I would have ignored in the past. Gentle, loving kindness. Maitre.

This process of life never ceases to amaze me. Just as the grass grows, flowers bloom and the birds sing, I awaken and allow my highest and best life, love, health and happiness to be.

Awaken and Allow. My mantra these days.

What's going on with you? Let's start the discussion today!

~Namaste.

Law of Least Effort

I woke up this morning thinking about the Law of Least Effort as a possible topic for today's blog. I wasn't convinced, but it has been on my mind, since our Second Sunday Spirit Food Group is researching it this month and we will be talking about it this coming Sunday. As with all things, that which we give our attention to, manifests. When I read my Horoscope this morning, I knew I needed to write about this topic! I think many people really misunderstand this law. I did for many years and I continued to even as I was actively learning about it in the 1980's! This Law is aka Path of Least Resistance and often referred to as "go with the flow".

I think on the surface we think its one thing but when we look at it, it is really something different! An example is the horoscope I mentioned....it said "Don't just say yes to your friends because it's even easier than usual now to take the path of least resistance." It could also be interpreted as instead of "going with the flow, go upstream". I took this to mean that the horoscope was telling me that if I say "no" to my friends I am not taking the path of least resistance. This is a misunderstanding of the law.

The law means that though it might appear to be easier to go with the flow or appear that you are taking the path of least resistance, you may in fact, be actually doing the opposite. Again, referring to the horoscope....If I'm saying "yes" to my friends when my heart is wanting to say "no" the path of least resistance would be to say "no"! The path of least resistance means I am true to my heart's desire, not saying "yes" because it appears to be easier in the moment!

I've heard this law referred to as "deferred gratification". I might think I want something in the moment, but if it moves me away from my heart's desire, it is not the path of Least Effort, nor is it going with the flow! Going with the flow means we are headed downstream and not fighting the flow of energy within ourselves. If we are not being true to our beliefs, we are not headed downstream, though it may appear or even feel that way!

In the early 1980's I started learning about this law, but with different wording. I heard, "plan the plan and leave the outcome up to God". Or, "Follow what is in your heart and leave the rest to God, the details are not your business". The Universe responds to our heart's desires. Once we've expressed them, the how, when, where, who (details) are taken care of by the Universe (God). When I bog myself down with those details, I've lost the spirit of my heart's desire because I am now focused on "making it happen" and while it may seem that I'm taking the path of least of resistance or going with the flow, I have in fact headed upstream and removed myself from the "flow" of my heart's desire. You see, we expect ourselves and others expect it from us, to work out those details; to struggle through to the other side. And then we call it "going with the flow" or the "path of least resistance" because it is easier to cave into the pressure of working out the details, than to follow our heart's desires.

Looking into this law at first seemed obvious...go with the flow....but when I considered how deceiving this can be I've discovered the many ways we use thoughts and words to lead us away from our true path of least resistance ~ by following the law of least effort and allowing the Universe to work out the details!

I'd love to start a dialog on this! Share your view!

Art of Relaxation

I love the process of life! I have been really working hard getting ready for the MarketPlace on the Square in East Troy (which goes on all summer on Saturdays 11-5 ~ and we plan to be there for most of them!). This involved long days and little sleep. I loved every second of it, however, when the event was over Saturday, I was quite exhausted. I'd planned to work on Sunday and take Monday off. My Body, Mind and Spirit, however, asked for two days off!

At first, I resisted. It was interesting to watch the thread of thoughts reveal themselves; to follow that thread to the end (or beginning). I realized that I am a very driven woman, and I had a belief that if I wasn't working every moment, I was somehow not being true to myself. Starting my own business meant that I had to pressure myself into a super-human performance level! By Sunday morning, I chose a different path.

I went to bed early Saturday night and slept the whole night through. I woke up feeling very relaxed and in touch with my gentle side. I did my morning breath work and relaxation/stretch routine. In that moment, I knew I would be taking Sunday and Monday off. I realized that I do give my all and that part of giving means taking. It felt good to honor my needs, knowing that by taking time off, I was actually contributing to my work because I was allowing my spirit to be refilled, my mind to relax and my body to rest.

So, you get the blog on Tuesday! So how and when do you practice the art of relaxation?

Cause and Effect

I am still so amazed at the Law of Karma. The many ways in which stepping into my passion has affected my life astounds me. Changes come naturally. I once read the words "repetition confirms and strengthens habit, and faith becomes natural". It is true. However, I am in awe of what comes naturally when we live in our passion! I have energy that I have not had in years. I wake up every morning excited to have a full-time job, again, something I haven't had in many years. I work from sun up until sun down and then some! I love what I do! My enthusiasm for life is back and I honestly don't know if I've ever felt so happy and fulfilled in my life! I dug out my juicer and have been enjoying fresh vegetable juice and have been drawn to eating foods that make me feel fantastic. The creativity flows from me; I organize my day, and accomplish those tasks I've set out to do. I stepped into my life (cause) and have passion, direction, energy, vitality and purpose (effect) that is affecting every thing I do, from sleeping, to eating, to working, to playing, to laughing to loving!

For those who have stepped into your life, share with us your experience with the Cause and Effect. For those who stand on the edge wanting to step into your life, share with us your hesitation(s). We are all in this together and as expressed above, one thing leads to another confirming our knowledge that we are all connected ~ there is no separation...we are All One Spirit! Have a GREAT week!

Namaste.

Creators Welcome!

The following excerpt is from The Intenders Newsletter. The local chapter of Intenders of the Highest Good (www.intenders.org) holds their meetings at All One Spirit.

When I read this, I realized how very grateful I am to have stepped into my life. I had been disconnected for some time and "trying to make it work". I am no longer forcing myself to live and be something I am not. I have surrendered to my Higher Self and am creating a world of Joy and Fulfillment. I am grateful to have friends who love and support me and to meet new friends who are of like-mind.

Where are you with creating your world of Joy and Changing the World? What are you being called to do? Are you following the call? We can support each other every step of the way. We are not alone! Let's do it together!

The Time When You Would Be Called Upon...

In seeking to become more proficient at using the Laws of Manifestation, we are moving toward the light and we are bringing that light back to the Earth, her people, and all who live here. We have known before we came here and occupied these bodies that there would be a time when we would be called upon to follow Spirit without hesitation, to stay positive, and to live in the light on a daily basis. That time is now. Our job is to remember who we are and to remember the light that we carry with us.

Indeed, our purpose is being revealed to us now so that we can spread our wings and cover this Earth with that which is our creation. For, as the cleansing of the Earth proceeds, we are realizing, each in our own way, that we can create any reality we choose and that nothing stands in the way of us creating Heaven on Earth even now in this moment. How do we do it? We create the new Earth simply by finding our joy. When we access our joy, everyone and everything around us is affected in a positive way. Then, from that joy, we can turn any area into an area of light, love, and peace, where all our needs are met NOW. This is our task. This is why we came here at this time.

Are you Perfect or Unworthy?

Regarding worthiness, I believe we are 100% worthy all the time no matter what. I believe that worthiness is not attached to what we do or do not do, we do not have to earn it nor can we loose it. Worthiness just is. And it is ours to accept or not.

Sometimes we attach worthiness and other emotions to our actions so we can excuse or justify our behavior. For instance, a client wanted to do something she loved, but she did not feel worthy. The result was that she didn't follow through on a commitment, nor did she call to cancel ~ she took no action and then later, with great shame and guilt, said she was unable to cancel because she felt so unworthy. Our actions speak for themselves and do not need excuses, explanations or justifications. What is interesting is, we are really talking ourselves into believing the story!

It would be wise, if we (humans) learn to keep it simple and just allow what is to be and accept ourselves, high and low vibrations alike! In other words, you are perfect just as you are!

My vibration is lower today and I am perfect and worthy just as I am. Where are you at? Can you lean into what is, right now? What story are you telling yourself about who you are?

Soul Nouishment

After a beautiful week-end of Reiki Class and gardening (ok, weeding!), I find I feel nourished. Nourishing the soul is something I value more and more with each choice I make to honor my soul-connection. Sometimes the choices seem opposite of everything I (thought I) learned as a child from my parents and even later as a young adult in society. As a "thinker", and one who in the past has not always trusted my feelings, I am learning to "feel" my way.

The more I work with creating my life, the more I understand that the "spark" of that creation is the great feeling I get when I envision my creation complete. That spark of "feeling great" is strong and pure in its moment. It is important because it draws to it, or attracts, the very thing I'm creating. So, as I become a stronger creator in my life, I feel more and more. Of course, action follows the thought because when I do the next thing in front of me, the Universe does it's thing, the "hows" and "whens" of the creation.

It's an amazing process and while I've had glimpses of it before, stepping into my heart's desire and immersing myself brings about a soul nourishment I've never known before.

What are you doing to nourish your soul? Together we support each other and sharing our ideas is one of those ways. We would love to hear from you about your soul nourishment! Namaste.
