Health, happiness and prosperity…

Abundance is the joyous realization of wholeness. Greater than simple material gain, it is an inner state of being that embodies the natural flow of movement, fulfillment and richness. The vibrancy of abundance encourages us to see through enthusiastic eyes, and to say YES to life as often as we possibly can. It knows nothing of lack, only of innate goodness, and of Love as the creator of all. Abundance is the breaking dam that can no longer be withheld – the potential of energy that lies expectantly within each one of us, waiting to be experienced, shared, and released. As we learn of fullness and generosity, we are guided to receive openly from our hearts, and to flow freely into the unlimited wellspring of abundance and possibility…

Prayer of Abundance

I am an abundant being of light and joy. May I receive the richness and beauty of my life with a grateful and open heart.

Spreading the Love

Shining your light…

While we can often become tangled in our own webs of complexity, it is helpful to remember that the gift of simplicity is always nearby for us. Only one step away, looking into the direction of what is already good and healthy in our lives – of what we are most grateful for – only creates more goodness for us. When we look only towards our problems and issues, we can become easily bogged down with feelings of heaviness and discouragement. Lightening up allows for us to embrace a ‘whatever goes’ mentality, thereby creating healthy change for ourselves and for those around us.

LOVE is the natural state of being for all of humanity. There is not a soul on the planet who is not capable of recognizing and responding to love’s gentle tenderness. When we are able to uncover genuine love within ourselves, we also become able to spark and awaken the same flame in others. We can be an inspiration to others right now! We needn’t wait for our lives to be perfect, or until we have everything figured out. Instead, we simply need to BELIEVE, and begin creating the change we wish to see in our world…right now. Joy is found in the simplest of life’s pleasures, and each moment you are here is another opportunity to start becoming the person you wish to be.

The more we give of ourselves naturally and effortlessly, the more we open to receive the graces of divine love and comfort. Be the stranger who waits patiently in line behind someone who is taking too long…and smile at her reassuringly when she looks around nervously. To another who has been kind to you, look him in the eyes and open your heart when you say “thank you”. Shining your light of sincerity helps us all to illuminate the path back home to ourselves.

Willingness

Sprouting new wings…

While most people tend to think of themselves as open-minded individuals with trusting and faith-filled hearts, the truth is that each of us carries unresolved parts of ourselves that can cause us to shut down, become afraid, and sometimes even immovable. While it is often easy see others clearly – to see where they are going wrong, and what might make them happier in the long run, it is not always so easy to find the solutions to our own problems.

We have to understand that this is the natural course of healing! When we fail to see the light, or cannot yet recognize how to exit our own inner turmoil, it does not mean that we have failed. Instead, quite the opposite is true…in moments of overwhelming intensity, it means that we have finally stopped pretending that everything is okay, and have started taking the necessary steps towards reclaiming lost parts of ourselves. Every time we are successful at bringing another grievance to rest in our hearts, we are one step closer to becoming whole once again.

When we find ourselves feeling lost or unable to move forward, it is simply a sign that sincere change is required of us. We are being encouraged to let go of old programming that is no longer appropriate, and instead to seek out parts of ourselves that are in development and sprouting new wings. We are sacred beings filled with significant purpose and hopefulness. We are meant to be on this earth to thrive, flourish, learn and to grow. Facing unresolved aspects of ourselves reflects true courage. While not always easy to remain in a state of total vulnerability, it is how we emerge effortlessly out of our pain and suffering. For with no resistance, we no longer have to work at maintaining and protecting our self-created identities. Instead, we can surrender with purity to divine love, comfort and guidance, and willingly follow our paths home.

Essence Bracelet of Conscious Choice

As the seasons change, we often find ourselves needing to take necessary time in order to redefine our priorities and direction of travel.  As we do this, it can become helpful to reflect upon what is really in our hearts, and what we are really after in our lives. Recognizing that every thought that we think and every word that we speak affects the world around us, can be very powerful. It can also leave us with the sense of needing to be true to ourselves in all regards…..this is where our ‘Conscious Choice’ bracelet can help you to  align to the very best in yourself – to dig deeply and be open to the guidance you receive.

Message for Conscious Choice

Sometimes it can feel vulnerable to speak to others about things that really matter to us. Instead, we find ourselves in empty conversations and situations that leave us feeling uninspired, only because we have not yet learned how to engage with others in meaningful ways. Despite appearances, every human being on the planet longs for truth and connection, and yearns to feel acknowledged and understood. When we are able to speak truthfully from our hearts, we remain in our power and are continually replenished with energy and light. When, on the other hand, we speak casually without thinking, our language loses strength because we are not conscious of what we are saying. Each of our thoughts, words and actions become energetic imprints that contribute to world consciousness. When we are able to say what we mean and mean what we say, we become leaders in nourishing, healthy communication.  Each and every time we speak with integrity and choose our words consciously, we are able to raise the vibration of our planet and bring healing energy to all.

Prayer for Conscious Choice

Inspired and quietly determined, I speak freely from my heart’s wisdom. May my words and actions become the loving reflection of compassion and understanding.

Blossoming

Petal by Petal…

It is a commonly held perception that if we aren’t where we ultimately want to be right NOW, that we are failing in some way. The reality is that our true natures are being revealed to us step by step, and breath by breath. Each day we rise into the opportunity to become more aware of who we already are.

There is no end to who we are becoming – instead only a richness of energy – vast in nature, waiting to be explored. We are no longer limited by who we have been in the past, nor confined by others’ expectations of us for the future. Instead, we are beings of potentiality, gaining in momentum each and every day. We are waking up to our collective new selves – beings who simply know things, rather than having to use our minds to prove their existence. There is less need to manage information, and more desire to simply let things to be – to collaborate with the IS-ness we now find ourselves immersed in. It is a time of accelerated consciousness – leaving us mostly awestruck as we break down the old, while humbly replacing it with the new…quieted by the profound gratitude that accompanies the raw experience of transformation.

Awakening blossoms in us petal by petal. It is a series of seemingly insignificant moments that grow in power over time into eventual leaps and bounds of awareness and understanding. Without each small step taken along the way – albeit often laced with both struggle and confusion – there is no opportunity to meet our true selves for the first time. Every single step counts….no effort will be forgotten or has been unnecessary, for all brings us into the wisdom and desire of wanting to be REAL – to lead meaningful lives, and to express the unique fingerprints of expression that we hold so dearly in our hearts. Be thankful for the path that has brought you to where you are today, for this is only the beginning this new, beautiful playground of expansion!

Growth

Transparency of potential…

Born anew with each breath we take, growth is, and always has been. It is the clarity that comes when we work in harmony with the eternal rhythms of life. Growth is powered by the loving wisdom of the universe – a quiet movement forward that encourages us to graciously let go of the old while we courageously embrace the new – even if we may not yet recognize the new. Growth is seeing that there is nothing to be done or controlled, and understanding that when we let life happen naturally, and with as little resistance as possible, that we are supported, provided for, and continually guided into becoming the next best versions of ourselves. Growth means rising into the maturity and understanding that nothing warrants our reactions, when it is only our responses that keep us healthy and well-balanced. Yielding to the natural intelligence of evolution allows us to rise into our potential, without inhibition. Let yourself rest in the certainty of expansion, and witness the clarity that comes from growing freely…

Letting Things Lie

Letting Things Lie

Natural evolution of life…

Every once in a while the need to get things done can surface strongly in us – to get things done RIGHT NOW, instead of letting the natural flow of life take lead. We often do this when we find ourselves feeling agitated, desperate, or as though nothing in our lives is moving the way we would like it to. What is important for us to remember, however, is that we are here on this planet to make peace with WHAT IS, and not to change the plan that is laid out before us. Once peace has been made, we can do absolutely anything.

While it can often feel more comfortable to jump in head first – because at least it feels then like we are in control and getting things DONE – we are always better off to observe situations fully before moving through them as though we know how things ought to be. Practicing receptivity paves the way for wisdom to grow in us, because we do not claim to know it all. Instead, approaching each day as a meaningful learning experience that guides us into the direction of our higher selves, keeps us in a state of gratitude and openness. Once we are able to resolve ourselves into the energy of cooperation, life can open before us like a new flower in bloom.

New parts of ourselves will always be born, just as old ones will naturally fall away – this is the fluid dynamic of our lives. If we are in the game of trying to keep things static, we will suffer because we have not yet learned that change is the only constant we can truly count on. We must understand that we are always cared for, supported and loved by universal energies. Our world is not unkind, only still learning how to arise out of its own unconsciousness. We can help one another in our journeys by taking a step back, practicing acceptance, and understanding that everything we need already lies before us.

Bracelet of Acceptance

Heading into September always brings forth experiences of newness and change. Remaining calm with all that is going on around us requires us to accept everything in our paths with as much grace and grit as possible, while continually seeking greater clarity and understanding. Let our NEW Acceptance bracelet lead you into healing energies of peace, awareness, trust and hopefulness…..

The Message of Acceptance

Acceptance teaches us to question which is truly the better road to travel – one of taking a stand when something isn’t right, or one of understanding why something isn’t right. While it is common tendency to want to be without pain, we must be careful not to avoid that which we still need to learn. Acceptance releases in us when we are able to see the light behind all situations – when we are able to understand why situations unfold as they do in our lives, and when we are able to lay down our suits of armor that tell us that we need protection from our world. The clearest place we could ever visit is one of complete acceptance.

We learn to accept so we no longer have to struggle within ourselves, and so we are able to realize once and for all that we are the only ones who suffer when we resist. Acceptance teaches us that presence is the only moment there is …that there is nothing to hold onto, and nothing needed to complete the perfection of who we already are. Listen now to the gentle whispers inside that quietly urge you to break free from that which holds you back from full expansion. Walk wisely instead into the total agreement and acceptance of what already is.

Prayer of Acceptance

I accept my life with a calm and open heart. May I be shown the path of least resistance and travel joyfully back to my home of peace and understanding.

Give and Take

Give and Take

The ebb and flow of life…

Although sometimes it can seem as though there is only one direction of movement – when it rains, it pours – the truth of the matter is that balance is always inherent. What can at first disguise itself as too much of one thing is actually only a smaller part of the greater whole.

In order to be in harmony with universal flow, we must first learn the art of taking in, and then of letting go once again. While most of us are good at taking in, we have somewhere along the way forgotten what it feels like to be emptied out as well…how to give and receive in perfect unison. Our bodies naturally breathe in and out, yet our minds have grown desperate in the quest to take in more and more. In moments when we find ourselves feeling full, it is likely because we have taken in too much. This may be too much work, too much drama, too much stress – even too much of a good thing can knock us out of balance. When we feel ourselves becoming tight with tension, or attaching to the outcome of situations, it is a sign that we need to take a step back and realize that something needs to be released so we can become healthy again.

Just as a wave rolls in and then gently out again, so is the natural rhythm of life. Imagine a wave that tries to fight rolling in – one that wants to stay at sea instead….can that one, small wave really contend with the tremendous power and force of the entire ocean? It is only a matter of time until the wave must relent, and follow its path into shore. We, as humans, experience the same phenomenon. Can we really affect the greater plan significantly by putting our brakes on? We cannot always see the bigger picture of what is being unveiled in our lives, but we can be sure that our souls have asked for all of our experiences so we are granted the opportunity to grow into richer, wiser beings who know of our intrinsic value and worth. Resisting where we are is no different than turning off the light and wondering why we cannot see. Our pain comes only from wanting things to be different, but we can exhale the pressure we feel in one breath, simply by falling into balance again.
