Can you?

"Can you put down your weapons and fight with love, can you set aside your Ego when you feel pushed, can you go against the herd or maybe even break tradition, simply because it feels right to YOU?

Can you look fear in the eyes, smile, and offer thanks? Can you imagine a world with more love then hate or will you sit and wait for someone else to take the courageous step in faith? Faith, believing before seeing... Universal healing begins with you.

What can you do?

BE LOVE." JS

It is time..

It is time.. time for a disconnect from the norm.. It is time to wake up with the sun and take silent meditation walks, eat steal cute oatmeal and drink green tea, absorbing love and knowledge from the sun, ocean breeze, and enlightened souls. Will I miss my routine? Maybe a little, but this is good for us! Stepping out of our comfort zone is truly the only path to growth!

So much love to you as I journey out you are all with me! I will do my best to share my journey as you know story telling is my favorite. BUT, we clock 100 hours, (for real) in 7 days! So, I will share when I can! LOVE~LOVE~LOVE

Shift your perspective, shift your life!

How honest are you with yourself? Can you see your story clearly or do you add or subtract to it, living in a state of delusion? The first step to change/growth is personal clarity. LiveUrTruth

Mind Chatter

The "negative" energy or feelings behind a situation or person in our lives will not move on until we breath into it, rather than breathing away from it. 

I also believe this same emotion that challenges us will continue until our karma is complete. When does this happen? I can't say really.. If you believe you create your life by your intentions, then maybe it stops when the need to control the energy towards that situation or person stops.. Or maybe when you TRULY learn to send love with every cell of your body and mean it. 

We are made of LOVE. The Ego is the one that feels pushed, so the first step I suppose would be to override the Ego, understanding the Ego is something we have created, not who we really are. 

We then must begin to scrape away any delusions we have created about this situation or person, making sure we approach our "devil" with the greatest Truth available to us. 

At the end of the day, if we only grasp one thing, I hope it's that we can only be responsible for ourselves. I think this is very freeing thought!! What a relief..

"What hurts us the most is the picture we paint of how things should be rather then how they really are."

Affirmation Self Referral

Todays Affirmation is Self Referral:

By returning to myself, I will set myself free. I am not the scenery, but the seer. The scenery comes and goes but the seer remains. By returning to myself I will set myself free. The experience comes and goes but the experiencer remains. As I experience myself as the seer I will realize that water cannot wet, wind cannot dry, fire cannot burn, and weapons cannot destroy it, it is without beginning or end. By returning to my timeless self, I will set myself free. Deepok Chopra's Healing Souls Affirmations

Ok, so picture a room full of clutter, trash on the floor, pictures hung crooked, just chaos.. Now, begin to take each piece of clutter and trash out of the room, notice that the walls remain, the ceiling doesn't fall and the floor is still holding you up. The room is still just a room, the four walls remain without the clutter.

As "life" brakes us down or builds us up we must remember that all situations are ever changing, YOU still remain no matter how fast life seems to be swirling around you. There is a constant place of peace within you that can always be reached if you stop and just breath, for without the breath there is no life!

So take a seat, or stand tall, begin to take the clutter out of the room and then breath into the space you have created. By returning to my timeless self I will set myself free. :)

You are what you eat, who will you be today?!

Affirmation: Relationship

Today's Affirmation is Relationship:

Nothing exists by itself, all things are interrelated. Today I will realize we are a web of relationships and the entire universe conspires to create every event in our life. Today I will look at a beautiful flower and see rainbows, sunshine, wind, water, and the whole history of the universe in that flower. I will look at myself and experience the whole universe within me.Today I will pay attention to all relationships in which I enter.

Do you get what he is saying about seeing all in the flower? At first I didn't, after reading it a few more times I understood it more clearly. I think he is simply stating that all these natural elements listed above is what makes the flower exists. Like us, we could not exist without our breathe, that is where our life begins.

It does take a web of relationships to make our world go round. Some of us may think we do this "life" on our own or that we need no help to get to where we are going.. Where exactly are you GOing?

In everything we do, relationship exists. Try and see this clearly, try and respect the beautiful design and all the webs of relationships around you, they are creating your perfect life right where you ARE.

Mind Chatter

Being still and doing nothing are two completely different things. It is in the stillness where life begins, where all creation takes root. Invite your mind into the stillness, set your intention to your hearts desires, live in your imagination, and most importantly, don't be afraid to soar!

Side note.. Some of you may read this and roll your eyes, internally saying "she has no idea what my obstacles are in life.." Well guess what, I have been THERE.. Small steps in faith over and over and OVER again with no idea what I was even stepping into is what opened me up to this blissful state I live in, this same peace is available to each of you!

Affirmation Question:

Todays Affirmation is Question:

Today I will be patient with all the unanswered questions in my heart. I will love the questions, I will not look for the answers, knowing that if I had them, I would not understand them. I need to live the question. I will be aware of the question and know I will soon be living the answer. Maybe not today, but when I REALY need the answer.

To me this one is the difference between knowing and KNOWING, (you may of heard me talk about before.) How many times did your mom say, "I know best, and this is no good!" But you/we had to do it anyways to see for ourselves.. Our soul had to KNOW this to be true before we could fully understand what we were walking.

We don't always have to know what is behind the door we are about to open..  I no longer seek the "unanswered" questions because living them is so much more fulfilling. I know if I am staying True to my hearts desires, aware, and open, then all will be revealed in a beautiful way surely to expand my heart and wordily knowledge at the same time. :)

Events

Affirmation Presence:

Todays Affirmation is Presence:

Today I will find myself in the here and now. Try to be as present as you can. The mind is easily pulled out of the now, we fantasies about the future, we reminisce about the past, we anticipate the pain to come or the pain we have had. Here and now is the only meeting place you will find your soul. Today I will not dwell on the past or the future. I will realize I have no need for either the past or the future. Today I will release all ghosts from the past so I can then release all else. I will no longer hold onto pain until it becomes anger. I will no longer hold onto pleasure until it becomes addiction. Today, I will find my soul in the here and now.

Affirmation: Opposition

Todays Affirmation is Opposition:

Do less and accomplish more. Today I will oppose nothing that occurs. I will resist nothing. Evil is a projection of our shadows. By embracing our own shadows we bring the light of awareness to them, by doing this we will diminish the evil in the world. Letting go of opposition is like turning the other cheek, but this makes little sense to the ego, when your ego feels pushed, the "I" inside you wants to push back. Lash out against the attacker. By doing this the cycle of attack and defense never stops. Let the opposition pass either by waiting, leaving or surrendering to the obstacle. Let your soul feel the direction rather then over thinking it, in this way the direction will arise almost magically, "I will resist not evil."

How can you not relate to this one? Especially if you are a reactor.. When you receive an ugly text or phone call, do you take time to feel the right way to respond or feel if there is a need to respond at all?

I have had to do this quite a bit with family obstacles/lessons. My Ego wants to banter immediately.. throw up my defenses, make sure they understood all I had done.. Luckily, I have had alot of practice at this, and yes I have had to get bitten by the snake, or better said, my teacher, many times before I finally replaced old patterns of reaction with new patterns of responding. Responding rather then reacting gives the Ego time to get back in the passengers seat and allow your spirit to move with love. There is a good chance that giving yourself this time will lead you to not responding at all, ENDING THE CYCLE OF ATTACK AND DEFENSE..

Now THAT'S taking the higher road.. OM!

Affirmation Nurturing

Todays Affirmation is Nurturing:

Love others as well as you love yourself. Every situation, conversation, relationship is a mirror of what is going on inside ourselves. So lets begin to see the world as a mirror. Lets nurture the world and everything in it with attention, affection, tenderness, beauty and love. I will pay attention, I will listen without having the need to respond. I will show my nurturing to others through touch, hugs, through body language and eye contact. I will notice the good things in people and share what I think is good in them. Today, I will nurture the world as I nurture myself.

YES! Those of you that know me well know this is affirmation I live by! I can truly see now, and looking back at each story in my life, what was going on internally was a direct correlation to everything happening externally. This branched out to my workplace, my "friends", and the negativity that surrounded me. How could I attract light if I wasn't living/creating from light? I am forever grateful for the lack of light I experienced at different stages of my life for now I see both the light and darkness and have a better understanding how or what attracts both.

Today I can take a look around me and feel, see, and hear love and joy. There is still "darkness" but now my soul understands how to process this differently. I no longer feel the need to judge these situations yet just feel my way through them. I can see that all the relationships, (even the ones that most would perceive to be negative) to be serving their perfect place in my life.

Hug the hurt, kiss the broken, befriend the lost, love the lonely, and begin these steps first for yourself and then your love will mirror out to ALL around you, OM!

Mind Chatter

So many souls take the weight of the world, they hoard the negative, keeping all the pain for themselves, rather then dropping to their knees and surrendering to help, to love. We are all One, the greater the hold on suffering, the weaker we are as a unite. When we come to our knees, surrender the pain, we transform it to love. All of our creation becomes more authentic, supreme, and holds truth. 


Creation stemmed from our greatest truth holds everlasting shifts of love. Once this truth takes root we begin to dance in love, speak in love, our actions become rooted in love.  We notice that any action not rooted in love take an exhausting toll on our spirit, weighing us down. When we begin to live with this awareness, we begin to notice everything around us changing. 


Those of you that have already awakened to this journey know this all to well. Those of you just beginning this idea of creating through love are possibly feeling the beginning stages of this pull on the heart, and then there are those that are questioning why in the world would these silly yogis want to shake their lives up so much!? 


Today, it is my Truth that we must shake things up, over and over again. One thing we can count on is ALL is ever changing. We should do our best to draw most of our happiness from self love. If the love we have for ourselves is not authentic, how can we authentically create from love or truly love others? 


Try to ask for help a little more, surround yourself with people that empower your growth, accept you for where you are, but more importantly where your going. As you learn to think and create on your own this journey can appear lonely. Don't worry, in this way you can become your own best friend and chilling by yourself with your thoughts, feelings, and creation becomes a gift. All the people around you will begin to see a humbled sense of confidence, self love, and extreme peace.. And they to will want it. 


Empowering yourself truly empowers everyone around you!!

Todays Affirmation: Mindfulness

Affirmation: Mindfulness: Mindfulness=Ever present witnessing awareness. It is stillness where we find ourselves. I will use my power wisely and I will respect my power. This affirmation is also about taking responsibility. Envision a crowd of people standing out in front of you, now look over all the faces looking up at you and say, "I will use my power wisely".  In this promise you acknowledge your roll in EVERYONES healing.  As you go through your day be mindful of your awareness. Sometimes it will be restless and active, other times it will be still within itself. You will be the observer. This is who we really are, activity comes and goes but the observer is steady and ever present. As you begin to become more comfortable with the observer you will be less attached to things that change. Today, I will use my thoughts wisely and respect their power.
