Strength in Harmony

 You are much, much stronger than you think you are.  You are strong enough, not only to survive what life has brought you, but to thrive within it.

What you seek is harmony, harmony between what actually is, the new day as she is unfolding, and your actions and desires.  Today, this moment, holds the power.  You hold within you the strength, the presence of mind, the talent and creativity, the heart.  You bring all of this to the unfolding moment that is.

 Create a moment so harmonious that it hums with joy.  Create a moment in which you are catching the flow that is, riding it as it tumbles down the mountain and reaches the sea, then riding the waves to a distant shore.

 Yearning and regret, fear and anxiety, holding on to what no longer serves, all of these create disharmony.   Set them down on the rocks as you climb into the swiftly moving waters of what truly is.  Allow yourself to be carried and know that you will be strong enough, know that you will be guided and helped.  Just harmonize your vibration to the hum of the universe that you can hear as it moves, as it spins, as it creates, as if flows.

 Even this old, old river, ancient as it is, runs with new waters every second of every day.  Dip in a hand and feel the vibration that runs through.  Be sensitive to the current, the temperature, to how it is right now.  Then fill yourself with faith, a deep belief in your own strength, and let go into the flow. 

 Ah, what a glorious ride life is!

The Fun of Not Knowing

There are days in which the world seems to shift and days in which you seem to shift in spite of the world.  There are times of great fog and confusion and then days when all of it suddenly becomes clear.

There are days when you feel as if you are reborn, even though you do not know exactly what this rebirth means.  There are days you can suddenly feel the future come barreling toward you, full tilt, even though you are not certain what it holds.

There are days you feel that you can project your dreams out onto the world and days when you know you must simply surrender to what is and what is coming, let it be and hang on for the ride.

And all of this is good and all of this is your life.  Embrace it all in joy.  Embrace it all in gratitude, for being so alive and being so open to what is abounding in the world of grace and energy.

Know that there are many flows and that from time to time you may find yourself riding one.  Ah, and what a ride it is!  You may also slip off and fall into a little pool of confusion, but this will end and you will find your direction again.

Just look upon it all as the fun of mystery and adventure.  Understand that it is this not-knowing that makes life fun.  After all, would you really want to live a life where you knew everything that was about to happen, where you awakened in the morning with a plan laid out from which there could be no variation?  Does that sound like fun?

Instead, awaken and feel the new day dawning within your heart.  Go deep and pull out the joy that lives right underneath the peace and calm of your center.  Laugh with joy that you do not know exactly what will happen, that there may be surprises around every bend.  Allow yourself to set aside your plans and just be, be in the great unknowing, the mystery that is unfolding all around you in every moment, that likes to drop hints but never fully reveals herself until the moment of her opening and blossoming.

This is the joyous, wondrous way of it.  Give thanks!

The Circle of Magnificence

Today we will ask time to stop for a moment and give us time to breathe. Today we will step into love and light to be cleansed and empowered. Today we will allow ourselves to step into our magnificence.

See that there are two circles on the floor, right next to each other, each large enough for you to stand in. The circle nearest you is gleaming silver with a little silvery cloud overhead, releasing a gentle rain of love. Step into this circle, like stepping into a shower of love.

Feel the flowing love as it cleanses you of all worry, all regret, all guilt, all tension. ( Read more... )

To Handle the Winds of Change

When the winds of change blow across the land, dust may blow up before your eyes, making it difficult to find your way. Old ways may disappear and new ways need to be found.

This is the time to move into faith, into a complete belief that guidance is there for you and that love still flows endlessly. The shelter from the winds of change is found only within each moment. It is not found in the old ways and the old plans. It is certainly not found by clinging to what was and shedding tears over your dashed plans and hopes. It is found in embracing what is by going completely into this moment and this moment only and seeking guidance here.

Every morning, do this. Set aside time to be alone for at least 15 minutes, alone and peaceful, undisturbed, with pen and paper nearby.

How Blessed You Are to Be Alive

Today, infuse your life with energy and enthusiasm.  Put a little lift into your step.  Put a little zest into your conversation.  Take a little risk.  Dare to say or do something different.  But most of all, just love your life to pieces.  Just love every moment of it.  Embrace it fully, right now, exactly as it is.

Do not allow the clouds of worry, regret, fear and doubt to put a shadow between you and the glowing sunshine of joy.  Go down into your center, into the place where the only time is now, this moment.   And there you find that right now, this moment, you are surrounded by love.  You are loved so deeply that if you would allow yourself to feel just one little iota of all this love, you would jump for joy.

You, exactly as you are, are deeply loved.  You, no matter what you have done or left undone, are wondrous, powerful, and deeply worthy of all of the love that is showered on you.

Yes, yes, this is life!  Yes, embrace it, love it.  Fill your heart with joy.

Why?  Because you are alive.  Because the blood still runs in your veins.  Because the sun came up today and its light was shed on you.  Because the moon and stars will come out tonight and shine down on you. 

How blessed you are to be alive, to have this precious life, this great adventure.  Yes, this one, just as it is, right now.  How blessed you are!
