Follow Your Bliss

This door opens onto possibilities, what becomes possible when you follow the nudging of your heart. As you follow your heart you allow your soul to bring you synchronicities and perfect timing. As you follow your heart you express love in what you do and channel that love into our world. Open this door and allow your heart to guide you.

Spirit is Communicating

“I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in.
Yeah, yeah, oh-yeah, what condition my condition was in.”
-Mickey Newberry

 
I have lately been more aware of the beauty surrounding me, especially outdoors. Yesterday morning I walked outside and it was as if it called to me. A bird sang, the air was bright and beautiful. It was like a “heads up!” message. Yet I didn’t know what to do with it except to notice.

Last night I dreamt of being driven in a van through the Alps. The beauty of the mountains was overwhelming. Tears of joy filled my eyes. I was glued to the window not wanting to miss one instant of the beauty.

Recently too, the sunsets have attracted me and felt like a pathway to feeling the love of Spirit, a daily reminder of just how much we are loved.

Perhaps the message is to focus on the beauty of all that surrounds us, both inner and outer beauty. Focus on God’s love and how that love is shown, both large and small. It is all there for us to be open to, to focus on every day.

Pay attention to beauty as a reflection of God’s love and you are choosing to allow more and more of it to enter your daily life.

Additionally, pay attention to what else you are paying attention to. Look at where your attention goes. Is it something you want to increase in your life? It will.

And then there is this - pay attention to where your positive attention is, for it is not random. What attracts and entices you is your Spirit communicating with you, guiding you to your inspiration. 

What is your Spirit saying to you today?

Focus on the positive, the beauty, what feels attractive to you, and give that your attention, because not only will that increase in your life, it is your Spirit communicating with you.
​
One way to do this is to set yourself a reminder alert for every hour on your cell phone for a day. Make it a celestial chime, or some other ring that reminds you of your Spirit. If you don’t have a cell phone you could use a pocket-size kitchen timer.

Step 1 - When it goes off each hour, check in and notice where your attention is focused. Is it positive, something you want to increase in your life? If it’s not re-script your thought until it is positive. Then reset your timer and go back to what you were doing. Very quickly you’ll find yourself more aware of the pattern of your thoughts and you’ll be able to focus more upon the positive thoughts.

Step 2 – Now look at those positive thoughts. Look at what attracts and entices you. Look for what feels good today. This is more important than you may realize for there’s a message from  your Spirit in this.

For example, you may find yourself drawn to gazing out the window instead of doing whatever it is you are working on inside. What is it that particularly attracts you as you look out the window? Perhaps your Spirit is gently suggesting you need fresh air, time in Nature,  a walk.

Follow this guidance as often as you are able to.  

Today, allow yourself to feel the love of Spirit communicating with you through your heart, and if you will allow it, guiding you to a life of inspiration.

“Namasté means that whatever is precious and beautiful in me honors whatever is precious and beautiful in you.” 
-Debasish Mridha
 
In Western culture, the polite greeting, “How do you do?” or the more casual form, “How’re ‘ya ‘doin?” expresses the importance placed on doing in our society, rather than being. Success is measured in terms of how much one has accomplished in a day, a year, or a lifetime. Celebrities are lauded for the number of their achievements. Lecturers are introduced with a listing of their accomplishments. Professionals receive initials after their names with each degree earned. The more initials listed the more the perception of success. Even our religious leaders are perceived as most successful based upon the number of their followers, the size or monetary worth of their church.

In Indian culture, the polite greeting, “Namasté,” meaning, “I honor the light within you,” expresses the importance placed on being rather than doing. Although Western culture has infiltrated many areas of Eastern life, still the revered spiritual leaders teach the importance of being.

In my own life I swing back and forth between my Western indoctrination with the belief that the more I can do in a day the more successful I am, and my Eastern leanings toward the importance of being.

I generally start my day with a to-do list in mind. As the day progresses I mentally check off my list as I accomplish each item. At the end of the day, the more I’ve done the more successful I feel.

I do this in an habitual way, not thinking about the fact that my focus is upon doing rather than being. Doing is my habit. I have to make a conscious choice to make being my first priority and my determinant of success. This is a choice I need to make over and over throughout each day, because I easily slip back into a doing frame of mind.

Today I choose to do from a being place.

​Pick a day when you feel pushed to get things done yet have some flexibility in your choice of what to do. Now, let’s give a nod to our Western acculturation and allow ourselves a to-do list. The list looks like this:
 
1. For at least 15 minutes sit outside (if possible) or at a window with a cup of your favorite beverage and watch the play of sunlight and clouds. Feel the breeze on your face. Notice the details of what is around you. What do you hear? Feel your breath. Think as little as possible. Revel in the sensations that abound.
 
2. Now allow your mind to drift onto what feels most enticing to you at this moment. Allow all the other jobs vying for your attention to wait. There will be time for those. Right now, your being is guiding you to your bliss.
​
3. Do something having to do with what your being brought forth for you.
 
Repeat this exercise as often as you have time for it. 

​Namasté.

Take a Risk

"You gotta' go there!"
-Abraham-Hicks


As I began work on Soul Doors, a project I've had in mind for years, I was so excited to finally make it happen. Yet, fear and self-doubt suddenly reared up. The fear persisted even as I prayed for guidance.  One afternoon, I sat reading over writings for the blog and staring distractedly out the patio doors. There was an opossum, white, raggedy hair standing up on its back, wandering in from the woods and searching the ground under the bird feeder with its sharp nose. It stayed for quite a while eating fallen seeds in the broad daylight. Opossum are nocturnal animals. What’s more, I had never seen one in our yard, even at night.

I believe that an animal that stands out and gets your attention is a message from Spirit. I looked up the message of opossum in Animal Speak, a wonderful resource written by the late author, holistic healer and metaphysical teacher, Ted Andrews. Animal Speak gives detailed descriptions of the specific meanings of animal and bird totems.  

The message of opossum is about the need to act in a way that you do not feel inside. If you are feeling afraid you need to act fearless. If you are feeling unworthy you need to act as though you are full of confidence. The message was to fake it till I made it! Spirit knew how I was feeling and supported me.

​Spirit knows how you are feeling too, and is supporting you in going for your dreams.

Esther Hicks, channeling the group of spiritual masters known as Abraham, says that once your rocket of desire has shot up, “You gotta’ go there.” There’s no recalling it.  Once you’ve identified what it is you want to be, or do, or have, you’ve got to fly with it and allow the unfolding of that which you desire. You’ve got to take the risk.

The truth is,  growth is about taking risks, putting one foot in front of the other when you can’t see how you’re going to get where you want to go. All you can see is the next step. Fortunately, your path is lit up by feelings of excitement and joy, guiding you. What do you desire? What are you excited about? Where is the sweetness? Be willing to take a risk. Be willing to sing a wrong note and sing it loud if it brings you joy. Be willing to fake it till you make it.

Take time today to daydream. Feel into where your excitement is and allow your imagination to blossom.

If negating thoughts arise place them gently inside a mental box and close it.

Now is your time to dream. Clarify your desire. See, feel and touch it. Feel that sweet excitement and revel in it for as long as feels good to you.
    
When you feel complete with your daydream take one outward step today toward allowing your dream into your life.

That might look like writing down your ideas. It could be researching on the internet. Maybe you need to fill out an application. Perhaps you could visit a store and purchase supplies. You might want to rearrange your home, making space for your dream to manifest into your life.

It doesn’t have to be a big step as you move energy into what you desire. Tomorrow you will take another step and then another. Allow yourself to take a risk for happiness.
