It is in Unity that we find peace.  All things come from the same Source and when we decide to accept and embrace all the things that arise within us,  we know God and there is healing.  It is especially the things that we judge or criticize that need care and attention.  So if you are in pain,  meld into that which you have avoided for so long.  It is there that the Light is longing to shine and be known again.  

Love and Light to the darkest parts of Creation~

We are born as human beings.  At birth, we are taught that we are separate.  Our language helps us to identify this object or that person as something that is different than us.  We also have a lot of adjectives that describe all sorts of things from the color of something to the texture. This supports the notion that we are unique and individual.  So how do we reconcile those beliefs to the idea that we are all One?  We have skin, muscles that move us,  a skeleton that bears our weight.  When we think of ourselves,  often we think that we are our bodies and that which lies inside of us.  Our language has been trained to teach this as it is passed down from one generation to the other with each new interpretation. The cone of our experience is a mixture of what we have been taught to believe with our creative processing of it.

Often we have been taught to believe that God lives outside of us.  I remember when I was a little girl thinking that God was this old man sitting on a throne with a long flowing beard.  Where did that come from? Was that an original thought or something that was picked up from the people I knew and what I heard?  So I invite each person to question the thoughts than run through your mind regarding what it means to be alone in this Universe of abundance or in the presence of God?  Is it possible that we are each here experiencing the whole from an individual perspective in our forgetfulness? Where did the truth go?  What if it is here and we decide to ask it to awaken us?  What if we give ourselves permission to remember with clarity the Truth of All things.   What if all our judgments about others fell to the ground and turned into gold?  Would we see the Light in Each Other as beautiful creators of love and compassion?

I wonder if our evolution is leading us to this place of knowing our true interconnection and beingness.  I certainly hope that we can live in peace where as individuals, we all realize that we are free, creative beings living in the Complete Grace of God.  Even the pebble in your shoe is something to blessed as it takes a moment to lift your sandal off your foot and experience a new way to walk on the earth.  

It’s easy to think that you are alone. But it is also possible to remember that you are not alone.  You are always connected and supported.  Open your windows and let the fresh air fill your lungs. Exhale it back into the environment and let someone else taste the change that already moved through you.  Open your doors so that your eyes may see something different.  Examine your thoughts with objectivity so that you can sense and feel all the blessings that are around you if you decide to give yourself this gift.  

Words are important as they give us a way to communicate.  But deeper inside is the essence that is compassion and wisdom.  That is the Spring of life,  the Unity that exists before the Word came.

Each moment we have the opportunity to take whatever path we choose.  Our intention puts us one foot in front of the next as we travel through the moment. Although one direction may seem more beautiful and inviting than another,  there is quality in life whether you are standing in place, taking a right or left turn,  or plodding along  directly toward the Light .  Whatever your intention is today,  let the earth beneath you nourish you.  Feel the ground beneath your feet and the way it can hold your weight.  Know the solidity of the physical plane. Feel the dryness or humidity on your skin,  the breeze or stillness whisper into your ear.  Let your senses drink  up the creation of life as it enters your awareness.  Set your intention for the best as you breath in Life.

Can you trust whatever path you take will eventually lead you to where you long to BE? Or maybe you are already there?  In this moment now, what is your experience?  What do you notice about you?

It’s important to realize that we are connected to Everything and Everyone. What we believe and do has an impact on All. This is the truth of all things.  Choose to believe in love and compassion and that is how your life begins to change and feel.  Bring your gifts to others and don’t let anything stop you from sharing your unique qualities to the world.

Look at how marvelous this women in the photo is.  Her joy is contagious.  It touches my inner joy.  If you smile enough with yourself and others,  eventually it is bound to uplift another, and then another.

Warmly,

It’s not necessarily easy to let go of stress just because we decide to let it go.  Many of our stress patterns are habitually built on our past experiences. Often we don’t even remember the origin  of the stress, but we continue to react over and over in similar circumstance.  Each time we react to a trigger stimulus, our brain only strengthens the stressful sensations, feelings and thoughts that keep us stuck.  If we truly want to let go,  it takes commitment and honesty within ourselves.

Nowadays,  many people have ulcers, IBS, Colon Disease resulting from the overstimulation of the fight or flight response.  We are a society of “go getters” which is great for being creative in the world,  but often it is done from a place of imbalance.  If you are one those people that has a difficult time going to sleep,  who feels exhausted from overrun, or finds yourself in anxiety, please consider taking some time to change  your life strategies.   I know it is not necessarily easy to make big changes,  but it begins by making the intention to care for you in a kind and patient  manner.  We all deserve to feel good within and about ourselves.

So make a commitment to yourself  to write down the things that are important to you in your life that you have been neglecting. Don’t wait until tomorrow, but put yourself into gear today.  List your goals for health and wellbeing.   Set reasonable guidelines and timeline that are realistic.  These should also include time to rest, to be in quiet, and to receive.  Be continually kind to yourself and drop all your judgment about yourself and others.  Spend time on building a life that is sustaining you in a happy and joyful way.  Life is short.  Live it like it is your last day!  

When things get in the way,  ask for help.   So many times we are taught that placing attention on ourselves in selfish.  But that kind of thinking can be dangerous.  It’s important to nourish ourselves so that we can be full and able to share our creativity.   True happiness is brought about by giving and receiving,  knowing that we are interconnected in a structured, but also in a natural flow.  

Let go by of stress by  getting clearer about what it is that stresses  you and then change your thinking and your actions.  You’ll be better for it!

 Warmly,  Sharon

Happiness is your birthright.  We all deserve to be happy, prosperous and fulfilled.  

If you are not happy with your life,  then what is stopping you?  Are you waiting for something or someone else to make you happy?  Are you waiting for that certain circumstance to come your way before you can be happy?

Happiness is actually your true nature.  It is what is left when all your negative thinking has dissolved. It is the essence that lives within you no matter who you think you are, but can’t be known unless you mindfully connect with it.

I’d like you to take the next week to take some time to remind yourself to stay in the moment and to empty your mind. If negative thoughts come up, just allow them to float on by as they are just your thinking habits.  When life seems difficult,  be your own cheerleader and remind yourself of your core qualities.  Allow yourself to sense into those new thoughts and how they feel. Create a new framework in which to live your life by allowing the pure flow of your organic qualities and by using the Word to shape them.  

The deep well of essence is much deeper than your negative thinking.

Enjoy…  

Warmly,  Sharon
