Seeing through a clear lens

Sunday, August 30th, 2009

Another day dawns bright and clear.  Allow the warmth of the sun to open your mind to a renewed clarity from deep within your Soul.

Just for this day, allow all that has come before to settle in to its rightful place……….that past.  No need to dwell on what may have at first sight appeared wrong or not good enough.  It was what it was and perfect in its imperfection.  Yes, perfect in its imperfection.

For what IS perfection?  For one it may be one thing and for another a completely different scenario.  So much time is spent on trying to get it right.  For this moment, just let it be.  Continually “trying” to get it right is draining you of your true essence. 

Perhaps there is truly no right.  Perhaps there is no wrong.  Could it be that there is only what serves you and what does not.  Let us strive for those experiences that serve our higher path. 

In our continual pursuit of happiness we are missing the point.  Just for this moment, STOP trying to find that elusive happiness and just BE HAPPY with all as it is.

Take a step back and see clearly what is before you.  Could it be that all is perfect in this NOW moment exactly as it is.  Nothing needs to be done other than just accepting life as it is.  For in this now moment you are in the perfect time and perfect place for that elusive bird of happiness to alight on your shoulders.  Do not brush it off.  Let it settle in and simply BE.

Make friends with all your imperfections and stop trying to fix everything that you deem to be wrong.  Let the essence of you rise to the surface and see from that place of love and clarity. 

Just for this day let yourself BE.  Allow a sense of grace and gentleness to settle upon you.  Welcome life as it appears.  Welcome the experiences that Source is showering down upon you.  They are the PERFECT experiences for you at this time. 

Open your eyes and let the fog clear.  Today a new day has dawned offering you the opportunity to paint a clear picture of what you see through the eyes of your Soul.  Is it not a thing of beauty………this life that you are creating.  Welcome life and be in harmony with it.  It is yours and no others.

And it is perfect just the way it is.

Namaste.

New Moon in Leo

Thursday, August 20th, 2009

Another New Moon is upon us and as with all the others these past few months this one has already started a new round of decision making for us all.

Letting go of old energies that are not in alignment with our Souls has been a theme the past few months.  With Leo pulling us in different directions the most important thing here seems to be one of being true to our selves.  If you are still trying to hold on to anything that is of the old, you are surely finding life a bigger challenge than it has to be.  Why do we persist in trying to hang on to something is not in alignment with our true Soul’s desire? 

For me those connedctions of the heart still pull at my own heart strings.  Being one that tries to live as unconditional a life as possible my own attachments to those energies of the past keeps coming up for renewal… a time to refresh my sense of connection with those who may not be on the same healing path and like it or not, the healing is something that our Souls are continually striving to bring into perfection.  Not perfect as in completely free and divine, but perfect for us at this time in our own evolution.  For those of you who are also working in assisting others on their paths, it is a time to dip into that wellspring of strength that exists at the depth of your being.  That place where all is as it should be and ALL is as it is.

For today, perhaps you  might want to get into a personal ritual where you ask the important questions of your self and REALLY listen to the promptings of your Soul.  She/He knows what it is that you truly seek and for today let those promptings be the impetus to move beyond what you have habitually done.  Get into a deeper place within you and let your self be loving with all the decisions that call to you.  If not now, when? 

We are all loving Beings at our core simply trying to live our lives from a place of unconditional love, not only for those in our sphere but for US daily.

So for today, love yourself just as you are…..a perfect divine Being living life in this physical form.  Life is meant to be a journey of JOY and LOVE, a journey full of experiences and challenges all meant to bring YOU into the fullest expression of who you are at the core.

I wish you love.  I wish you JOY and I welcome you onto a path of heartfelt expression of  WHO you are now.  It is all good and perfect just at it is.

 

Namaste

Feeling very FREE today…

Tuesday, August 11th, 2009

Feeling very FREE today.   It’s like there are an infinite number of possibilities laying in wait for me to find and all I have to do is open my eyes and surrender to what lies ahead.  It’s all up to me and while in the past this thought would have caused me considerable angst, today it is a source of celebration within me.

I’ve been paying attention to my reactions to the world around me and my relationships with the people in it.  My way of dealing with people has changed.  It is much more accepting and allowing AND I am not taking things personally anymore.  Now that is a master feat if ever there was one.

From where I sit now I understand how debilitating it can be to always assume that what is going on around you is personal.  It might look personal from one standpoint but consider being at the other end of someone else’s anger.  Take my father and my relationship for example.

For most of my life the number one word that would come up EVERY TIME I would describe my Father was ANGER.  I always thought that it was something I did that reminded him of someone else because I could never understand how he could be so angry at me constantly.  I finally convinced myself that he must look at me and remember something from his past – something that set him off because it certainly wasn’t me most of the time.  My reactions were always the same and it was emotionally, mentally, and physically draining. 

One of my most recent life lessons brought this back to me.   I dealt with this similar issue recently with another Soul and the way I have handled it this time is so much more freeing and I just want to give thanks.  For bringing this to my attention one more time because NOW this time, I finally get it.

It is NOT me.  It is something going on within these other Souls, something that is so deep and wounded that even I realize that I can not change their attitudes or beliefs.  I can, however change mine and that is what has happened.

I finally realize that it is not up to me to save every Soul that crosses my Path.  I can shine my LIGHT because that is what I do and allow them to glean whatever wisdom they are meant to gain through their own interactions with me.  It’s all about the evolution of the Soul.

My Dear Old Angry Dad is not so angry these days or at least it doesn’t come out that often anymore when in MY presence.  He stopped scaring me and intimidating me long ago and now, that he is frail and almost 90 years old I understand how he must feel.  The difference now is that I do not have to fall into any trap of believing that I need to be the brunt of his anger when it does surface now and then, and believe me, it does surface. 

I now feel perfectly comfortable removing myself from his presence when he starts to get angry.  I don’t try to defuse the situation.  I do not take it personally.   I DO let him know what I will and will not stand for in my relationship with him NOW.  It seems to be working…………smile

And now today, after a day of deep cleansing rains which we sorely needed, I feel refreshed and cleansed and ready to get on with the next stage of this journey that I am on.

I trust ME and that is a big BIG deal. 

I wish you all a day of freedom, joy and divine inspiration.

Namaste.
