The most simple moments can open up and bring insight; an affirmation, eating a piece of fruit, taking a swim, a kind gesture, a single breath…in all the simple things of life is where you will find most of your answers through the quiet and calm of an ordinary moment.
I can’t tell you how many times, when I take my walk in the morning, that a simple moment like a leaf blowing in the wind or a feather laying on the ground, creates a still within me that goes deeper than deep revealing another vibration that can’t be expressed…only felt. And when I feel it, something in me opens up even further to reveal an higher vibration from within. This happens most in what seems like an ordinary thing. It turns that ordinary moment into something extraordinary that creates more room within to understand and create vibrations from the true self.
Are you compromising for others in your life? Are you afraid that you have no right to how you feel or envision for your life? Some believe that they just can’t have everything in life. You see, it is your divine right to have what your heart and your soul desires. You were given the ability to dream. And if you were given the ability to dream then you were given the ability for those dreams to come true. Vibrations…
If you were given the ability to dream, you were given the ability for those dreams to come true…that just rings true within my heart and soul. We were given this amazing ability to envision and imagine life as we would like it to be. And then to feel so wonderful, when we think of it, within our mind…what an amazing feeling within.
No need to label work or play. How about merging it together and getting into a flow? How about following your heart and vibrations of what you love to do? Abundance will become a part of the flow when you open your heart to what you enjoy. The enjoyment of expressing yourself becomes the goal and you are no longer working to sustain a lifestyle. Then…as you focus on the delight of what you love,and see the rest come with ease, the abundance comes in as a part of the experience. Step aside from the worry of the ‘what ifs’ and know that…all is well. As you live ‘all is well’ and focus on the positive in all that you are experiencing you will find that you will be living, not from the logical ‘ego’ mind but the true heart of you.
Work from the heart, play from the heart, in~joy from the heart, experience life from the heart…you get the picture! 
Sometimes it’s good to step away from the logical mind when it comes to problems in life. There are times where it is much better to look toward your inner self and ask the Universe for some kind of help. Take a few moments and sit quietly. Ask your inner self for some answer to helping you solve the problem. Then go about your life and be aware of solutions. You might not get an answer the first day but timing is all a part of it as well. Feel from within what is right and then act on that feeling. Know there is a solution and by asking, the answer is ready, willing, and able at the exact moment it should be.
We can get so caught up in the ego mind…you know the one…the ‘what will others think, I KNOW I’m right, boy does she rub ME the wrong way, can you believe him, WHY ME?’ All these kinds of thoughts come from the ego self.
The inner self only speaks through love. It doesn’t worry about what others may think or how important it is to be right. It speaks only through the voice of love, expansion, and understanding. When stepping aside from the ego chat, you will find this calm within…full of solutions, balance, and love.
Avoiding the negativity within your mind won’t keep it from coming. It’s important to recognize, realize, and experience the negative so you can be conscious of what you don’t want in life. As you become aware and then ‘let go’ of the feeling, the blocked negative vibration will then be released. You can replace it with the positive. Any thought you are trying to get rid of must be replaced with a positive. There is an empty space waiting to be filled. Become conscious of the negative, let it go, and then replace it with the opposite of that negative.
Yes, I get excited when I have a negative thought. Why? Because I am aware of it and it gives me a chance to analyze it, let it go, and feel the release of resistance. It’s such an empowering feeling to ‘get it’ and know what to do with it creating a calm positive vibration in its place.
Bring it on! …hee hee…no…don’t! lol
When we feel fearful, worry, possible insecure, or feeling lack we stop the flow of energy from ourselves to the Universe. Abundance flows through us naturally until we decide, through an unconscious or conscious decision, to focus on the contrast of what is naturally who we are. The abundant flow of the Universe can flow in many forms right through us. Love, joy, appreciation, relationships, thankfulness are a few of the abundant energies that we experience and by recognizing and opening up to abundance you create an abundant flow in all you have and do on this physical earth. Do your best to keep your own consciousness open to receiving all that there is in this abundant Universe. Keep the flow moving.
Being conscious of your thought is just the beginning. When you are able to distinguish the difference between your positive and negative thoughts and then do something about it, you are on your way to creating the life you have envisioned. Positive thinking ROCKS!!! 
When we follow others, or try to follow the rules that others have created, we can be going against our own inner nature. We begin to move against the natural flow of who we are. We are going against our own knowing within. We are not saying and doing what we really feel is right but… if we begin to focus, we can see the difference between the message from others and our own messages from within. As we listen and trust from within, our life path unfolds easily. What do you feel? Ask yourself from within…first.
I had someone ask me, “Then does this mean I go against all the laws of our physical world that I don’t feel right about?” Good question! We are human beings and some laws must be in order for us to have some kind of structure to live by while we are physical. It’s part of our material world. It is in your thought of what you feel is best that can create a whole other way of being. You can create a world of peace OR a world of anti this and anti that. It is all in how you react and create your own vibration. Begin in your own backyard and avoid putting energy to the don’t wants of others and keep to your own ‘do wants.’ Your natural flow lays in the place where there is no resistance.
So many have been told that they must be smart and driven in order to ‘make it’ in the world. This can create a vibration of driving ourselves too hard. Some have put their logical mind in the drivers seat instead of giving it over to the more subtle, yet powerful, voice of the true self within. Many protect the side of themselves that is vulnerable by putting up a hard wall around their inner self. But when we start to use our power from within to take care of our mind, body, and spirit, through meditation, quiet time, or relaxation, the wall comes down revealing an even stronger ‘true’ you from within.
When you are able to find your true voice, and not the voice of others, walls begin to come down. No more worries about what others think, no more worries about what the world is saying is normal, only what works and is for you…what an amazing feeling and vibration.
There’s this feeling I get from within…it’s still and calm. It doesn’t bark any orders or expect anything. THAT is the voice of my true self. You can find it by stepping away from any thought of how you’ve been hurt or worrying about what another thinks about your life and realize that the true self within creates a calm balanced steady flow. When you breathe in and breathe out, for just a moment, and give full attention to the ‘act of breathing,’ there is where you can feel the connection. You see, focusing on breathing is a way to focus on the act of being and when you focus on the act of being, in that still moment of hearing your breath, watching your chest rise and fall, and feeling the deep inhale and exhale, you have connected to your true source within. Just this simple technique through out the day will create more expansion, more room for positive higher vibrations, and more focus on living from your own eternal self.
Breathe in, breathe out…all is well.
Children need us so they can see how to live in the physical world of form. They need to see how imperfectly perfect we are. As we experience life, they watch and see how we act and express our own thoughts and feelings, and then…they do as we do. When we live from our heart, they imitate what we do and not what we say. The more you express the true you the more you are giving your children the high sign to be their true selves.
Sometimes we can almost be on automatic when we are raising our children. We do just what our parents did or we read book after book on how to raise our children. Sometimes we forget what it was like to be a child. How to play and imagine, how very sensitive their feelings can be, and how innocent they are when asking questions. Truly think when you go about your day when you have children. Are you deferring to others all the time or do you talk about others in front of the kids? Are you so responsible that you have no time besides just making money? Everything you do is being watched by your child whether they are aware of it or not. The more you open your heart and make choices from within, the more your own children will grow up to be adults with open heart and live to be their true selves.
Sitting right within you is your life force. For just a moment, sit still, and feel your life energy. Imagine that you are feeling this energy, trusting it, and living it through your life. Imagine you are expressing who you are and your true thoughts. But not only that, you are enjoying the experience. As you express and ‘be’ who you are, you are having an effect on everyone you see and the world around you…a healing, powerful effect.
I love the thought of how each of us has a life force from within and how each life force is connected to one another in some way. And if we feel our life force to send love and healing, that those vibrations help others who want help. This happens to us as well. When we are asking for something in our life and we create the vibration of what we ask for from the purest vibration within, our life force connects to the experiences and people that can help you manifest what you envision…amazing…
So many parents have become aware of who they are in their later years and they look back at how they raised their children. Some feel sadness and even guilt as to how they raised their children. Here is something they may not have noticed…their children are powerful beings who are now responsible for their own lives no matter what their experience was as a child. They chose their parents so that they could experience and grow through all the experiences they asked to learn from in this physical life.
They picked us, we picked them, and our choices and experiences help us to grow, understand, and expand consciousness. No matter what the past know that it was the way it was because at the time, you thought it was best. It’s now a part of the past. Now you can move forward knowing it is just another experience in yours and your child’s life…nothing more. Move forward now that you know you can leave the past behind and focus on the present.
I was thinking about this as I listened to Dad in his hospital bed. He talked of his regrets of when he was a young father and how he raised much older siblings. He was riddled with guilt of, “If only maybe I had done it differently…” He was talking of one particular sibling. I sat and listened as he built pictures of the past and all he ‘could’ have possibly done. I walked over and hugged him and said, “It’s past Dad. You did what you thought was best at the time but the decisions she makes now are hers. I think you can let it go, don’t you?” Yes, it sounds simple but letting go of the past is essential to moving forward in life. It takes the weight off the shoulders and the pain out of the heart replacing it with forgiveness and understanding…
When we’re able to follow our heart and live our truth, our connection to the Universe becomes stronger and more noticeable. And we then feel more alive in our physical life. And as we feel more alive, it is such a wonderful feeling, that it becomes the main focus of contentment and joy.
And you wonder why I am so positive all the time.
If you are pent up with emotion about what you want your life to be, you are actually pushing against the very thing you want. The best way to get beyond these emotions is to work on your feelings about what you want first. Take a look at what you are afraid of in attaining your end result. This is a clearing of your vibrations when you are able to go deeper within the reason of the pushing against. As you clear out the push vibrations, it will help you to feel more secure and know that the time is right when it is right.
When I want something in life, I do my best to take a moment to breathe in and breathe out and then go ‘within’ to see if what I want is the true essence. Sometimes we want something because it will make us feel more secure or more loved. Take the something out and work on the feelings of security and feeling more loved from within. When you are able to connect the essence and create the vibration all that you were asking for is a by product of the vibration of the essence.
Go within and check…all is well.
There are times where affirmations just don’t seem to ‘do it’ anymore. You may get bored or feel like nothing is being accomplished. When this happens this could be a signal to let go of what you are trying to do. Sit still and close your eyes and see what your inner self has to say about it. See what it feels like. Is it telling you to move beyond or just in a different way? Then ask what is the next step. You have an open channel to all resources when you ask for the next step. Let yourself be guided to where you are to ‘be’ next.
Have you ever felt like, somehow, it just doesn’t feel right any longer? It’s as if you have outgrown your own affirmation? This does happen. There is nothing wrong with stepping beyond what you thought you wanted and go forward in a whole other direction. We have choice every single moment to decide which way we want to go. We’re here to experience and that is just what we are all doing each and every day.
There truly is no wrong or right answer just what feels right for you.
Something happens when you begin to really trust yourself. Life begins to make a change. As you begin to release old patterns of habitual thought, it can seem as if life is somehow falling apart. There may be many things in your life that you have to let go, of that you have become attached to, because of a certain way of thinking. Changes can be scary but overtime you will find that change is part of the process you must go through in order for life to open up. When you are able to begin trusting yourself, you will see that others and experiences will come into your life that are reflective of your new found expansion of consciousness and growth.
OOOOoooohhhh…I LOVE change. Change represents new thoughts, new experiences, new beginnings, new, new, new! It’s what you have been asking for right? When you want life to change for the better remember…it is going to change. It might feel a little uncomfortable, just at first, as you acclimate to the new experiences.
But guess what? Then…bigger and better! You’re expanding your own vibrations!
When we have contrast in our lives, this means the Universe is doing its best to get your attention. It may be trying to get through letting you know there is something to be aware of that needs to be changed…whether it is a mental change or a physical change. And if you ignore the message then the contrast can change form and come back even stronger than before trying to get your attention. Begin to listen to your inner self. If you are able to become aware of the subtle first messages, you will learn from them, and no more contrast, in all shapes and forms, of the original experience.
This one took a while for me to ‘get.’ In my younger days, I would listen to others before I would listen to myself. I was concerned about what others might think about the decisions I made no matter how conventional, or unconventional, they were. Then the original experience began to change…and grow even bigger until finally…I got it. I really looked at the experience and began to dissect it and see what was reoccurring then…I made a mental change in the next time it came…I reacted differently than before. I began reaching for a higher vibration in the experience. I changed my own feelings, beliefs, and reactions of the experience, and then…let it go. It didn’t seem as difficult as I thought it would be. Then slowly but surely it began to fade from my life experience never to be seen again.
Listen, observe, understand, and reach for a higher vibration of thought and then…no more repeats in a different disguise.
When we are worried, insecure, agitated, or afraid we attract, in some shape or form, the vibration of the experience of the same. The very thing we are avoiding comes right to our doorstep. Why do we attract the negative? So that we can become conscious of our basic fears and heal them. And when we are feeling positive, expecting joy, appreciate life, we attract the very experience that create an experience of that vibration. Why do we attract the positive? To confirm and remember who we truly are through love.
Not that I jump for joy when contrast shows itself but I have to say I observe it and become ‘conscious’ of it. If it is something that builds a welling up feeling within then I know that here is a contrast for me to experience and become conscious of so that I can observe, learn, and then release it never to be seen again. And if it does show its face once again, I know I am to grow into an even higher level of vibration and consciousness. As I observe, the contrast changes into a positive helping me to understand and remember the only truth…love. And the beautiful byproduct of realizing and moving on…the experience shows itself in a whole other way and creates a better outcome than you ever could have imagined.
Don’t you love when you find something that makes you feel alive and you lose all track of time? And then when it feels so right, each moment of what you love, the thought between work and play begins to disappear. Then work isn’t about what you have to do and the play is what you want to do. And as you continue enjoying what you love, you work more productively yet you experience even more joy and excitement in the work that now feels like play.
Writing…writing is my work that delights me. It is my direct connection to expressing myself from the very depths of my true self. I can get more done when I am writing than with anything else. I lose all track of time and get involved in the tap tap tapping rhythm. I look up and it’s as if the world has stopped for those hours when I have been writing. THAT is what it feels like to merge work and play for me.
Find your joy, find what creates a passion from within, and as you visualize and enjoy, , you will create abundance through your passion.
When we’re young some have been taught that expressing who we are naturally isn’t acceptable in society. We learn how to step away from our own natural expression which can cause resistance and conflict within our body and soul. Some react to the conflict by becoming tense, craving all kinds of things that we wouldn’t normally crave if we expressed our natural energy. Here’s the wonderful thing…we now are able to find the tools to reconnect to expressing who we truly are by listening to the voice within and finding the time to reconnect to the Universe. By doing so, you will begin to come back into the natural flow of ‘being’ you.
It can feel like a risk at first. It’s like, “What?! Show my true feelings and thoughts? But what if no one likes what I have to say. What if…what if…” But when you begin to speak and live the truth you feel is yours, things become easier. At first, you may have opened mouths and rolling eyes from some of the people around you but don’t let that stop you. If you always come from love from within, with no intention of hurting another through your truth, something wonderful happens. Others, that have the same feeling from within start coming into your life. As you vibrate your own truth, experiences begin to take form that reflect how you are vibrating. Finding your natural flow will help put life in a much easier flow.
Realize that you are creating your next moment and each day continually. It is always new. You not trying to change what already is. You see, if you try to change what already exists, you are creating resistance to what is right now, and this creates struggle. But if you accept, go along with, and figure out what is currently in your life while realizing that each moment is a new moment to create what you do want, you will no longer be creating resistance. You’ll be creating moments that will be smooth and steady without conflict. Get through your current experience while focusing on what you want and not on what you don’t want.
Your vibration of today is just that…and your vibrations that you create will be your future todays. We don’t want to change the present because it is what it is BUT you can see what you want and don’t want from the contrast and change your vibration to create a better day. It’s moment by moment and how you react and see your world is what you will experience in your future todays. Let go of the feelings of what you want to change in the day and just see the next new moment to create. As you let go of your attachment to the now, the resistance, and create a better moment, you will move forward much more easily.
