Ready or not…

Last year when my son was eight, we found ourselves in the grip of some very compelling grief; I would try to help bring perspective and compassion into any and every discussion or emotion. This was especially true in the face of our personal tragedy, particularly when a person you love dearly passes away. “How could this happen?” “Why did God take her away?” These and similar thoughts would surface.

In those tricky times, I would help my son recall former times when he had been absolutely sure he would never get over something, never forgive, and never forget. He was usually amazed and sometimes could barely recall the incidents. Of course, some were still big (like the little boy who squashed a frog, riding his bike), but most had become softer with time. It’s good to know that you can have an open heart and not be crushed by it. It’s challenging enough for an adult to weather the huge storms with faith and trust; it’s much more (times a god-zillion) with less experience from which to draw (as children). In life, the road will bend, and it’s good to be prepared for it.

Most of us believe in our eternal nature and sense our oneness with all that is. We trust in ongoing well-being and have the capacity to understand our children’s (or other family and friends) sorrow and strongly hold the light for him or her. It’s an extraordinary thing to be human and to be more than that as well. Take the time to be ready for the big challenges in life by maintaining your spiritual practice; meditation, prayer, yoga…whatever that looks like for you. When the tears come…and they will, let them flow through you like a clear stream and know God is always right where you are.

Namaste,

When you are on a journey to evolve, create, build, and manifest…no matter how passionate you are, you will inevitably experience times when you feel like you are in over your head and everything is working against you. Don’t give up! Know that this is part of the journey…this is the time to dig deep. Keep going…

Namaste,

There is a Divine Power at the core of every person’s being, a Presence that knows neither lack, limitation, fear, or illness, worry, nor imperfection. But, because we are all created as unique individuals, we each have the capability to build walls of negative thought between ourselves and this truth.

The wall which keeps you from your highest good is built of mental blocks, cemented together by fear, disappointment, and disbelief, blended in the mortar of negative experience. To destroy this wall and fully transmute its energy, you must learn to become consciously aware of the Divine Presence and the Divine Power that lives within you; you are one with this Presence.

You must have unshakable faith that Good is at the seat of everything, regardless of its seeming absence. But this Good must be recognized. Since there is but one Mind, One Spirit and this Spirit lives within you and in every person and everything, then everywhere you are…Spirit will be.

With this recognition, this One Spirit, which manifest Itself in and through all, precedes you and paves your way. Your faith is placed in something greater; And with positive expectancy , as certain as the principles of mathematics, ever present like the air you breathe, and operating like the law of gravity, the path of your experience will be made plain, straight, easy, and abundantly joyful.

Namaste,

Namaste,

Sometimes people have to hit rock bottom to arrive at the point of surrender; it happens. But there is a greater choice to be made. That is, to make surrendering a regular part of your life. When we practice spiritually surrendering, we acknowledge that there is a power greater and wiser than ourselves; and this power, Divine Intelligence knows exactly how to solve our problems.

S-t-r-e-t-c-h open your arms, releasing your cares, worries, and concerns – giving it all to Spirit, and welcome the divine gifts that are waiting to be revealed.

Namaste,

Namaste,
