Stay Centered

Do you have any projects that you have started and not finished? You do? Well I know I do, many! We make list upon list of things we need to do and then we add to the list before we ever accomplish what we have started. Now some of this comes from our computers, phones, iPads, etc. We just have so much information at our finger tips and so many choices of what to see, do and look at, that we are all over the place which jeopardizes the completion of many of our tasks. Information is good, I personally love living in this age of unlimited information and technology but we also need to have some balance in our busy life. A way to make the world stop for a moment so we can think through the path to our destinations. We must remember to find our center and stay there for awhile.

Let’s try this simple technique. Find some quiet time ( just a few minutes if that is all you have), take some breaths, download your day and its challenges. You can listen to easy music, a guided meditation or write in your journal, either with a pen or a keyboard. Just calm your thoughts, light a candle and chill. I promise that you will be amazed at the result.

This is the rest of the thoughts from my guides that I quoted to you in my last post…

“What is it that you are looking for that you cannot find in the silence of your day. Take the time and forward your way of thinking so that you are settling in for the joy of your days and not the search for challenge upon challenge. It is a good day for quiet contemplation and an even better day for joy. You are wondering how you will ever figure out how to pull this life together and we are here to tell you that it is easy and it is done. Just stay in the center of the road. Don’t veer off in so many directions. You will dilute yourself like fine wine for a child. Make time for you and make time for your plan. Sit down and complete one thing at a time. Stay with the list for right now and see how far you can get without stopping for air. Get to work and keep your breath in place. Keep to your plan”

Play of Life…

I have an app on my Mac computer, “Ommwriter”. It is great for working on projects, journaling or just writing without thought…which is actually what I do. I just sit down quietly, with a few deep breaths to get myself to a receptive state and then I let my hand go wildly across the paper or as in this case wildly across the keyboard. You can change the color of the background to pretty pastels that make you feel cozy and the font to something fancy and scrolly and all the while you are listening to beautiful music or sounds of nature as you compose anything from a grocery list to a bestseller. No rules, no autocorrect, just writing. It’s pretty cool!

I was looking at some of the writings that I received from my guides a couple of years ago when I first started using this writing app and I thought you would enjoy a few of the thoughts. I have been constantly advised that meditation or being alone with your breath, in silence is the way to a better life, a life of solutions and intuitive choices. This was just another one of those reminders….

“Staying deep into the realm is something that should come relatively easy to most. It is a gentle and calming place to put yourself for repurpose.
We need to spend more time during our busy day sitting down, taking time to reflect and rest and restore our body and soul..… To listen to our inner voice and vanquish any thoughts of distress or feelings of not. We owe it to ourselves to know our soul as well as our body, to feel with power of concern for our well being. Quiet is the place that we can do this and do it effectively. It is in the silence that we solve the challenges of our day. Nothing last forever, good or not so good. Stones in our path come in all sizes from pebbles to boulders but they only serve to define our destination by the way we navigate each and every one.
We are all in advance of our destiny and we are proudly taking the time to be sure of our path and purpose.
Now is our time of planning and staging, as the play of life is just around our corners waiting for the curtain to open and the music to begin….”

Give a little

I was just re-reading some wisdom from my guides and ran across this beautiful little writing that I hope you will enjoy. I find people are very generous, very kind and very loving. It will serve us well to remember that it is the small gestures in life that will make a difference in ourselves and others, make our road a little brighter and make our challenges a little lighter.

“Today is for giving, giving away some of what you value and sharing it with another, be it your time or your valuables or your interest in life itself. Maybe you could whisper a calming word or an encouraging thought. You will benefit someone and often without your knowing. Give your strength, share your potential, give away some of your knowledge. Give someone your admiration, give them hope, give them a smile or a gentle touch to show them you are aware of their existence.

Give until it feels so right and joyous that you tingle with excitement or choke up with emotion. It is a wonderful cycle of gifts that go out and come in simultaneously. Remember that the more you give, the more you receive as it is another of the Spiritual Laws of the Universe”.
Start giving. Start receiving .

Confidence

The definition of Confidence as defined by Webster-Merriam Dictionary

a) a feeling or consciousness of one’s powers or of reliance on one’s circumstances
b) faith or belief that one will act in a right, proper, or effective way

I feel it could be defined as faith, trust and belief in yourself and all you do.

Confidence is important in all of aspects of your life. Confidence in your career is key to your earnings. Confidence in your relationships eliminates drama stemming from doubt or fear. Confidence in your appearance allows you to walk little taller and smile a little bigger. Confidence in your decisions allows your future to unfold smoothly, successfully and as you have designed it. I would love to share a short quote from my guides on the subject…

“Confidence is the word we want you to know. Confidence in everything. Be sure of yourself, of your footsteps, of your abilities, of your soul’s purpose. Without confidence you are frozen in your steps and cannot be free. Go forward with movement of choice and confidence in thought.”

Choose Your Keys

As we navigate through life we are given many tools, or as I call them “keys” to efficiently and appropriately manage any circumstances that may arise. Recently, in one of my writing meditations, I was reminded by my guides of all the doors we can open and all the challenges we can lock away. Enjoy!

“What does one have when a key is in their hand? You can open a door. You can open a heart. You can open up a person to share their joy. A key is a symbol of hope and faith. It is something of value. It does not have to open your worries nor open your concerns. It just must open happiness in all.
You have the ability to use your keys for only good and only value. Your keys are for you to carry, to open up someone who needs kind words or need some encouragement. Your keys can unlock your desires so they can abound with passion and your keys can lock up pain and heartbreak for you or for others.
You have chosen which keys you carry and you have many for all occasions and situations. Carry them with you and use them often as you are their keeper and they can do much good for so many. You can unlock the wonderful and lock up the not so wonderful. Even though you feel you have struggles, know your keys all work and you have much to do in this world, much to say and much to unlock.

You also have enough keys to give away to all who feel that they have none and no worries as the more you give away the more that will come”

Start counting your many keys. You will most definitely be amazed!

Look Around

There are always those days when we question where we are, what we are doing and where we are going and I suspect there will always be those days as it seems to be part of a cycle. In the midst of those questions I asked my quides for direction and this was one of their suggestions…

“Believe in yourself again. Don’t let discouragement be your life. Find your way and then look ahead. Be kind to yourself.
The energy of money will be here when needed and your flush with energy now, energy that you want to use and should use. Find the abundance that is all around you. It’s like a treasure waiting for you to find. This is a time for loving what you do and doing what you love and nothing else. No backward thoughts, the past can be of no help. Look at new places and games. Make some decisions but without pain and without too much contemplation.
Find your stride and stay with it.”

International Women’s Day

Take some time today to send some healing energy or a positive thought to our sisters in war torn countries who struggle every day for their right to education, employment or life itself. Then take a breath and say thank you for all the freedoms we have…and enjoy…and take for granted. We are blessed….

Trust

Trust that the sun will shine each day and trust that night will fall. Trust in your body to operate without thought. Trust in your neighbor to be gentle and kind. Trust in yourself as you always have, never fearing a misstep, as if you have trust, that could never happen.
