ADORATION TO THE GOD-WITHIN

ADORATION TO THE GOD - WITHIN

Our bodies are beautiful temples that are capable of holding the great Divine Presence. The Divine Presence within is referred in many cultures as the "I AM Presence"
Connecting with our Divine Presence within aligns us to our wisdom and truth, and helps us to flow with life effortlessly.
Moving beyond the fear stories of the mind and aligning with our Divine Presence is a choice each one of us has to make individually.
Adoration to the I AM Presence within helps to keep us connected to this higher vibration and completely dissolves fear from our space.
There are many different affirmations and prayers to keep us connected to the great "I AM",
This beautiful adoration to the great "I AM Presence" - from the book "The Magic Presence" is one of the many that I love heart emoticon

THE MAGIC PRESENCE
(Written by Chanera)

"I AM" the Presence, the Eternal One,
"I AM" the God-Source-the Great Central Sun;
"I AM" the Love-Breath, the Heartbeat of Light,
"I AM" the Power in Wisdom and Might.
"I AM" the Seer, the All-Seeing Eye,
"I AM" the sunlight, the earth, and the sky;
"I AM" the mountain, the ocean, the stream,
"I AM" the quiver in morning's bright gleam.
"I AM" the Blessing in Angels and Love,
"I AM" the Life, flowing in, 'round, above;
"I AM" the Glory all had once in Me,
"I AM" the Light Rays that set mankind Free!
"I AM" the One Heart that hears every Call,
"I AM" the Legion of Light answering all;
"I AM" the Scepter of Light's Loving Power,
"I AM" the Master, each moment, each hour.
"I AM" the Spheres, every song that they sing,
"I AM" the Heart of Creation-Its swing;
"I AM" all forms, never two quite the same,
"I AM" the Essence, the Will, and the Flame!
"I AM" Myself, all Beings, and You;
"I AM"-"The Magic Presence"-the God-Self
come through!

Let us choose to move beyond fear, let us choose to live in alignment with our God Presence within.
Blessings!

ALIGNING WITH LIFE

ALIGNING WITH LIFE IS THE SOLUTION TO EVERY PROBLEM

We tend to align our definition of a good life with what everyone else thinks what "good" should be. Being born into a collective consciousness of - family, community, society, country... we tend to think that whatever the society approves is what is good for us.

We are loving beings, we tend to seek approval and appreciation on the outside, and we forget to align with our inner being. This causes a great deal of confusion in our life because we are not living our dream, we are living someone else's dream. It may be the dream of the parent, the spouse, the society etc.

Because we live someone else's dream we are not living in our truth, the truth of who we are, this creates a lot of hurt within us. When young we try to please parents and other authority people by doing what they want us to do. We are not taught to connect with our inner beings or listen and be authentic to our self.

This makes us strive for things in life that we are not passionate about, because the society approves wealth, we think that we must strive for wealth in whatever way possible, this goes for everything in life, the idea about marriage, the idea of having children, the ideas about how a man or woman should be, the ideas about what roles we must play in life, so on and so forth... social consciousness has become the religion we worship.

This has created so much discord in life, stress, sickness, sadness, depression, loneliness, powerlessness, and all kinds of war within and around us.

The Divine places a grand dream in our heart when we are born. Existence wants us to live in total alignment with true love, passion and integrity. Whatever aligns us with our inner being is what we should be spending our time doing.

When we choose to align with our inner self there will be conflict with the society outside. We are born as grand beings of immense power, we are the creators of our reality absolutely. Existence/ life is always kind, and life conspires to work with us in a grand way if our intentions are clear. Life brings to us grand experiences in amazing ways. In order to experience we need to choose to be courageous, and simply trust life.

When we are courageous we remove ourselves from all obstacles of societal consciousness. This helps us to shine our light for the world, we can go places we have never dreamed of, do the things we are passionate about, meet people who are like minded, and create grandness for ourselves and for this beautiful Planet.

Life is kind, life supports us, life is what has brought us into this Planet to shine our light. We lived before we came into this body, we now live in these body temples, the body comes and goes but we are eternal beings who come to gather wisdom from every experience that life wants us to have. We are definitely not obligated to anyone and no one is obligated to us.

Let us simply trust life, let us be passionate, let us live and experience life to the fullest and gather wisdom to carry with us beyond space and time!

Blessings!

THE SEASON OF CHRISTEDNESS

CELEBRATING THE SEASON OF CHRISTED-NESS

Sweet Friends,

We are grand beings of immense love and light. When we accept and honor who we are, we begin to treat ourselves with kindness, honesty, trust and love. 
The Christ is the living being of light, the pure self who resides within every one of us. When we choose to allow the Christ light to flow through us
we begin to experience our inter-connected-ness with all our fellow humans, plants, animals, the earth, angels, spirits, all beings seen and unseen. We see ourselves not only as our tiny body and mind but as big as the entire cosmos.
Many benevolent masters and teachers who lived before us and who live among us now, practiced compassion, lived from the place of non-judgment and complete trust in the eternal goodness of existence. These were the humans who form their human reality chose to allow the pure living light of the Christ to flow through them and remind them of their gift to this Planet. The masters reminded us that each and every one of us are gifted with powerful tools to transform our lives and that through the spirit of the pure self we can do all that they did and even more for this Planet.
In every culture, this experience was called by different names because of the different languages, they were the Christ consciousness, the Buddha Consciousness, the Krishna Consciousness, and many more.
According to all the ancient calendars, this particular time of Dec- Jan, is very special for all kinds of spiritual practices. At this time of the year the Planet is closest to the sun and throughout history many grand beings and Avatars have manifested themselves on the Planet at this time.
In my homeland in the Tamil tradition this month is called as "Marghazhi" (16th Dec - 13th Jan) During this month the early morning hours, (One and a half hour before sunrise) is called as the "Brahma Muhurta" which is a most auspicious time for meditation and worship. The meditations done during this time becomes, intense, deep and brings us closer to the heart of the Creator.

In this special season of the year let us choose to connect deeper with our pure self, - the living Christ within.
Let us choose to make this Planet our home, - a Christed Orb.
May the living light of the Christ fill your home and your hearts sweet friends!

Happy Christed-ness to each and every one of you!
Loving heart hugs to you,
Premlatha Rajkumar

A REPOST

THE CHALLENGE OF HUMAN DRAMAS FOR THE EVOLVING NEW HUMANITY

We are so fascinated by dramas, we love the theater, the TV serials and all kinds of stage performances.  It is important to notice our fascination with the roles of victims, villains and heroes in these dramas. Unconsciously we identify with these roles and continue to play them in our every day lives.  We create these identities based on mind stories of good and bad. The more unaware we are the more we are trapped in the roles of victim, villain and hero.

The society, the family, and the religion assign these roles for us to play through many many belief systems of fear.  We desperately want to fit into these roles to please and to prove. This traps us indefinitely in the struggles of life that bring pain and bondage. These roles are played within our every relationships whether it be the spouse, parent, children, friends, relatives, strangers, or co-workers.

Shifting into the awareness of this game we find ourselves playing this game by exaggerating, making bigger and giving names through mind stories. Without blame, guilt or lies there would be no roles to play, instead there would only be healthy responsible relationships based on honest communications. The moment we bring conscious awareness into the role playing, there is a shift in consciousness. Awareness is the key.  Transformation begins with awareness.

Belief systems and lying to own self keeps one stuck in these roles. These roles always bring pain, powerlessness, and irresponsibility, they can never make one to stand in truth and freedom.

The moment we choose to play any one of these roles, we will end up playing all the three roles.Victim consciousness is based on the belief that every one in the world is 'out there to get me'.  It is a constant looking out for what is wrong with the world.  There is always a pity party going on that brings mind stories of “ poor me”, “you are bad”, "bad things happen to me."  If you perceive yourself as someone’s rescuer you find yourself as someone’s victim, while at the same time that person will perceive you as the persecutor. We continue to attach to these roles emotionally and judge everything around us.

  The basic and most important truth is that we create our reality, absolutely, there is nothing called a coincidence or an accident. At some level we create it all. We have to remember that this Universe is our mirror, this mirror truly reflects everything we send out. Therefore when we hold on to the idea that we are victims, the Universe thinks that we want to experience being a victim, and so it will bring to us more of what we hold in our consciousness till we wake up and take responsibility for what we are choosing to experience.

The ego loves role play, and if we are asleep we feel stuck in the dramas of the ego. As long as we continue to wage war between opponents, between two sides, or between good and bad we will continue to play these dramas of victim, villains, and heroes.   No matter which part we play in the struggle, we are actually perpetuating the struggle by keeping ourselves stuck in this duality game  As long as we think that we have to eradicate evil, we get trapped  in this mindless game of being victim, villain, or hero.It takes discernment to refuse to play these roles, and discernment comes from living from the heart, connecting to the 'kingdom within'. Any belief comes from the fear in the ego, freedom involves eradication of beliefs.

 There is no God ‘out there’ to serve, the Creator dwells in all beings, in all things seen and unseen.   The true Creator can be found within, thus every master who came to the Planet spoke about connecting to the “Kingdom within”.  Aligning to the kingdom within, reveals the Creator that is in all life.  This understanding will help one to go beyond this game of duality. This understanding will help to let go the desire for justice, revenge, or making up for the wrongs by committing more wrongs. Understanding the Creator within will lead to unconditional love, trust, and surrender which is the grandest devotion to the Divine.

 Instead of fighting, resisting, or feeling victimized when we choose to surrender and trust unconditionally, we go beyond the duality game and life opens innumerable opportunities for us.  By our choice we also inspire others to realize that there is more to life than involving in the duality struggle.

The challenge in this new paradigm is to refuse to play these roles and trust life to open up new and beautiful opportunities. Being in integrity with oneself is the key to get out of this role play and evolve ourselves into a new paradigm of love and truth.  Accepting, approving, and loving the self is the golden key that leads to freedom.

We are the bringers of the New Paradigm, we are the new evolving humanity. The new paradigm has no beliefs only love and truth.

Let us choose to create this new paradigm of love and truth.

Blessings!

APPRECIATION PARTIES

LET US HAVE APPRECIATION PARTIES EVERYDAY!

Forgetting our divinity is the greatest sickness and the greatest illusion on this Planet.
Peoples minds are reeling with wounded stories, our culture revolves around telling wounded stories about our life situations to each other, in other words having a pity party, if you are not telling a sad story about yourself, then you are not accepted into society.
Some years ago I was going with this crowd, but then I realized how foolish to have pity parties when life is creating everything for you, I realized life is kind all the time. I stopped pity parties and I started celebrating life, I started having appreciation parties.
Suddenly all my old friends left me, I was sad, but life cheered me up, showed me all the wonderful things that I am so very appreciative of.....nature, love, kindness, fresh breath of air, dogs wagging their tails, children laughing, spring flowers, happy butterflies, hugging loved ones, cooking for joy, beautiful books to read,.... the list became bigger and bigger and made me realize that I am so greatly loved!
I am loving life so much that now I am getting to meet amazing awakened beings who love life as much as I do!
So happy to be with you my sweet friends, let us have appreciation parties everyday! Let us choose to gossip about all the goodness in our lives heart emoticon and expand and multiply our blessings!
Life is Kind!
Blessings!

THE GREAT INVOCATION FOR THE PLANET

THE GREAT INVOCATION FOR THE PLANET

We have the power to pray for our fellow beings, we have the power to call upon Divine help, for we are beloved children of the Universe. As soon as we call from our heart, help is given immediately. So let us use this power of ours to pray for our planet and its people who need healing, comfort, protection, and love.

Today the people of Chennai need our prayer, the city of Chennai in Tamil Nadu, India, has been severely affected by the recent rains. Let us pray that the people receive timely help, comfort, safety, and relief.

Let the hearts of the people in politics and high places of each country be open to wisdom and compassion so that all refugee situations may be solved with greater good for all concerned.

May there be protection for families and children living in the war zones, may the hearts of humanity open to understanding and wisdom so that all wars, those within human minds and those on the Planet may becomes ancient history and totally disappear from the face of this Planet.

At this time our beautiful planet and its people need immense blessings, healing and protection. I am reminded of the great invocation prayer from the writings of Alice Bailey.

The great invocation is a world prayer and it has been translated into 80 different languages, the prayer invokes divine energies of love, light and spiritual power for all humanity.

Those who wish to do the great invocation prayer please reflect for a few moments every day on this prayer with concentration and intention to understand its deeper meanings. And while saying the prayer , visualize God's Light and Love and Will-to-Good entering the hearts and minds of people everywhere.

THE GREAT INVOCATION PRAYER

"From the point of Light within the Mind of God
Let light stream forth into the minds of men.
Let Light descend on Earth.

From the point of Love within the Heart of God
Let love stream forth into the hearts of men.
May the Great Messenger of God return to Earth.

From the centre where the Will of God is known
Let purpose guide the little wills of men –
The purpose which the Masters know and serve.

From the centre which we call the race of men
Let the Plan of Love and Light work out
And may it seal the door where evil dwells.

Let Light and Love and Power restore the Plan on Earth."

In this special month of December, may good will and the will to do good descend on the Earth and humanity!
May this Planet and its beautiful people be blessed!
Blessings be to Mother Earth!

REMEMBERING OUR MISSION

REMEMBERING OUR MISSION

We do not come into this Planet randomly or by accident, we come with a specific mission. We are a part of the grander puzzle and there is no completion to the picture of the All even if a single person is missing.
We come here into this beautiful planet because we love the Creator and its creation so much. We come as messengers to deliver, to share, to fulfill the thirst and desire of creation to know its grandness through us.
Each one of us are unique, and blessed with unique interests and talents, and there is no comparison or competition absolutely.
The mind stories of keeping up with the "busyness" of the modern world is never true, and believing the mind story we stress and torture ourselves, our loved ones and friends into competition and comparison with the world around us. This has brought enormous stress and ill health upon humanity.
We have forgotten who we are and we are trying to be who we are not. All the values of love, tolerance, companionship, patience and trust are lost in the rat race of competition and comparison. We have the power to wake up and set things right.
When we choose to stop believing the mind stories of competition and comparison we realize who we are we shine our unique gifts on to this Planet, which compliments the Planet and creates 'heaven on earth.'
Learning to respect each other, and trusting the Divine talents within each other, helps us to allow our gifts to shine on this Planet to uplift each other and live as one family experiencing all abundance.
This Planet is our home and humanity is our family, we are all here to uplift, bless, and share with each other, through our unique gifts we compliment each other and create heaven on earth.
The greatest illusion on this Planet right now is forgetting our Divinity within.

I do this prayer constantly to help me and help every one around me:
" May I be born to the greatness of who I am, may I awaken to the Divinity within me"
" May this man/woman I am with be born to the greatness of who he/she is and awaken to the Divinity within"
" May this my child be born to the greatness of who he/she is and be awaken to the Divinity within."

Let us allow ourselves to wake up to our Divinity.
May humanity awaken to its Divinity! May this Planet be blessed!
Blessings!

BLESSING ONESELF

BLESSING ONESELF

We are grand beings of immense love and light. We emanated from the Creator of all worlds, we have the essence of the Creator in us. There is a well spring of infinite health, love and abundance within us. This is a powerful reservoir of creative energy given to us as our birthright, in order to move through life situations with ease and grace.

To focus upon, to facilitate and to enhance this mighty reservoir of power within us, we need to practice Self Blessing. Self blessing is a powerful practice and many of us are embarrassed to even talk about this because from childhood we were taught that doing anything for the self was selfishness. We were taught that we 'were not good enough' and that 'we do not deserve.' This happened because of forgetting the Divinity within, which is the only illusion on this Planet.

So many of us have this concept of humility/being humble/not deserving. The true meaning of humble is not about ignoring or putting down oneself, the true meaning is letting go the little mind/ego stories and allow the power of the Divine creative energies to move through us. To stop being who we think we are and to allow and be open to our God within to take charge of our life.

For this purpose it is very important to practice Self Blessing. We are the ones who can truly understand ourselves, we know what we have gone through, we know our needs and desires, and we are the ones who will be most dedicated to manifest our dreams. Hence it is important to learn to bless oneself and to activate the reservoir of inner creative power that each and every one of us are born with.

The more we bless ourselves the more we trust and listen to our Divine Self, this helps us to discipline ourselves and we feel very worthy to live a wonderful life. Living in union with our Divine Self creates grandness in our life and in the life of others, we tend to choose the highest good all the time. The more worthy we feel the more we validate ourselves and we become compassionate beings.

The world does not need intelligence anymore, the world needs more people with compassion who can see with the eye of Oneness, and act from the place of wisdom and peace.

The Creator blessed us to live wonderful lives, hence when we agree and bless ourselves everyday, we become a well spring of blessing.

Some of the ways we can bless ourselves:

1. Bless yourself with words of power, speak words of kindness to yourself from your heart, congratulate yourself often for accomplishing even the tiniest tasks. This encouragement makes you appreciate yourself more and more as a beautiful messenger of the Creator 's love.

2. Hug yourself often, pat yourself on the back and kiss yourself for the loving being that you are.

3. As you shower yourself every morning you can say ' I bless myself with this water of light and cleanse myself from impurities, insecurities and all kinds of negative thinking, if you bless yourself with lotions then as you apply them say blessings of kindness, you can say , ' I soothe and caress my beautiful body with loving kindness and erase away all troubles, ' as you wear your clothes, bless yourself, you can say words like, 'I bless myself with these beautiful clothes to surround me with confidence and love'. As you feed yourself you can bless yourself, 'I bless myself with food to fill my body with love, good health, and joy,' as you place bindhi/ornaments/oil/accessories on your body you can say things like, ' I bless my beautiful body with good health and well being.' When you cover yourself with a blanket at night you can bless yourself by saying " I bless myself with appreciation, warmth, support, confidence, and affection."

The more we bless ourselves, the more we invite the divine creative power of the God within us to move through our life and to create grandness of health, love, joy, peace and well being. The more we are at peace and well being, the more we become a blessing for this beautiful Planet and humanity.

Let us choose to bless ourselves and become a grand blessing!

Blessings!

AFFIRMING COURAGE

AFFIRMING COURAGE

Every one of us face hardships through out our life. They may problems with finance, health, relationships, job etc. Through these 50 years of my life on this Planet the one thing I came to understand is that life is always kind. We are given only the tasks that we can deal with at any given time. If there is a 'problem' placed in front of us, it means that we have been given the tools within to deal with it and create grander solutions for it.

Life/Universe/God consider us to be grand beings with immense power within, when we choose to trust life, we connect with our inner power and we create grandness for ourselves and for this Planet. When we choose to face our fears, the fears disappear and only love remains, and love helps us to create grander visions and greater solutions.

To affirm something means we declare it to be true for us, it is a sentence or a phrase that we declare to ourselves and the Universe with the intention that it becomes the truth in our life.

Some beautiful affirmations to help face fears and move beyond the fear:

Every moment of every day I am becoming more and more courageous.
I act in spite of my fear and the fear fades away.
I allow the courage of my heart to dissolve any fears I experience.
I always take positive action in the face of fear.
I am a brave and valiant warrior.
I am daring and love trying new things.
I am daring enough to face any challenge.
Great strength lies within me at all times.

You can practice any one or a combination of the affirmations above. Practicing the affirmations is saying them repeatedly to oneself with feeling throughout the day or even writing them as many times as you can with feeling.

There is immense courage within us, we are powerful beings, let us choose to connect with our resources within and create grandness for ourselves and for this Planet!
Blessings!

A QUESTION AND ANSWER SESSION

A QUESTION AND ANSWER SESSION TO SHARE

QUESTION: Why is negativity increasing in my life, what do I do to get positive results, how can I create peace and freedom in my life, please guide me?

ANSWER: My dear friend, Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me.

The best, simplest, and most profound tool to remove negativity in life is counting blessings.

The gratitude notebook works for me all the time.

Please create a tool (a gratitude notebook)

This notebook will be with you for a very very long time, so give it a beautiful cover and place stickers or pictures that mean a lot to you.

Now every night before going to bed just write 3 things or more in life that you are grateful for.

Choose to see the gifts that every situation brings into your life, ....every situation, even though your mind may classify it as negative.

You are not your mind, so you can go beyond your mind and choose to see the gifts that every situation brings.

See the gifts, the gifts may be helping you to be patient, helping you to place more trust in the Creator's love, it can be learning to forgive, it can be helping you to meditate more, or create peace in your heart, it can be the basic necessities of life, it can be having friends and loved ones, it can be anything.

If there is a problem in your life, silently sit with the so called "problem" and place your hand on your heart and ask your heart what is the gift in the situation. The gift will be revealed to you.

So record it in your gratitude notebook. Also record all the things in life you are thankful for.

Everyday slowly increase your list of things that you are grateful for , be very sincere in doing this.

Remember that you are doing this exercise as a gift for yourself, there is no one forcing you to do this. You are doing this to bring freedom, and peace to your life. So choose to do this sincerely everyday, you can also keep the notebook close to you where you can see it and also record your gratitude anytime during the day. And read all that you write everyday.

You will be amazed to notice how blessed your life is.

This is the most simple and profound tool that brings immense peace, joy and freedom in life, I have personally experienced its benefits and hence I am sharing this with you.

Trust that I have answered your question. May your moments be filled with joy, ease, and grace my friend!

Blessings!

PRAYERS FOR FRANCE

PRAYERS FOR FRANCE

We have the power to pray for our fellow beings, we have the power to call upon Divine help, for we are beloved children of the Universe. As soon as we call from our heart, help is given immediately. So let us use this power of ours to pray for the people of Paris.

CALLING UNTO ARCHANGEL MICHAEL TO PROTECT THE NATION OF FRANCE AND BRING PEACE AND COMFORT TO PARIS

Archangel Michael is one of the 7 archangels under the Creator. The Archangels were the first formed beings to watch over all of creation.
Archangel Michael is one of the most powerful protector, defender and guardian. Michael is the epitome of strength and valor. He intervenes miraculously to save lives and to protect our bodies, loved ones, vehicles, belongings, and reputations.
His colors are royal purple, royal blue, and gold.
As soon as we call Archangel Michael, he is there.
Today let us ask Archangel Michael to surround the country of France, especially the city of Paris with his royal purple light to dissipate and ward of all lower energies that are creating attacks on innocent people.
May the angel of armies of Archangel Michael take charge of the city and bring peace, comfort and safety for the people.

May the people of France be blessed! May humanity awaken to its Divinity! Let love and kindness and good intentions flow from the hearts of all humanity! May this Planet be blessed!

THE BURDENS WE CARRY

THE BURDENS WE CARRY

The mind creates stories of constant judgment of things, situations and people and stores the data. If we choose to go with the mind, we start carrying the enormous burdens - the innumerable data of judgment, good/bad, ugly/beautiful, kind/cruel, black/white, long/short..... goes on and on.... creating enormous stress and fear in our lives. Apparently the fear and stress have been only created by thoughts from the data collected. Many of our likes and dislikes arise from unconscious use of recorded thought forms of all humanity stored from the first moment of creation.
The moment we choose to go with the judgments of the mind, we notice that we have lost our freedom to be the truth of who we are.
We are unconditional love, we are kindness, we are compassionate beings, but the moment we carry the burdens of the mind, we forget who we are, and we miss the opportunity to extend our compassion and love, we miss the opportunity to anchor our conscious Presence every moment, we miss the opportunity to create 'heaven on earth'.
Since we are the sum total of all our experiences, we are immensely burdened by our pasts. We need to choose a spiritual cleansing of all the data by appealing to our Divinity within.
We are not our mind, we can choose to go beyond the mind and create well being for ourselves and this Planet. The solution is to clear the mind of all the debris/data of judgment collected.
This brings to memory the great work of therapist , Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len, who helped heal an entire ward of mentally ill criminals -- without seeing any of them. Since the world is a reflection of what is happening inside us, in order to correct an imbalance, the place to heal is within ourselves. Every imbalance can be corrected just by working on the self.
Dr. Hew Len trusted that we can appeal to Divinity to heal us from all thoughts and memories that are holding us back from being the truth of who we are at this time.
His method was Ho'oponopono, a process of developing a working relationship with our Divinity within asking that in each moment, our errors in thought, word, deed or action be cleansed. This bring total freedom, freedom from all things past.
Let us choose to clean all our judgments, attitudes and beliefs every moment with the help of our Divinity within.
Just for today let us try to look at things, people, and situations without judgment, for example if we are looking at someone let us consciously stop ourselves from making judgments about the persons look, clothing, hair etc. Let us choose to release all burdens and live as our true selves on this beautiful Planet!
Blessings!

LIFE IS AN ART OF GIVING AND RECEIVING

LIFE IS AN ART OF GIVING AND RECEIVING

We emanated from the Creator energy, we are a part of the Creator, hence we have the essence of the Creator in us. Love, compassion, peace, benevolence are the truth of who we are. When we are in our truth, we are in the place of joy. But when we move away from our truth into mind stories of judgment, sadness, and all kinds of fear we do not flow with life and we experience stagnation/darkness/stress.
The natural law is giving and receiving. If we want friendship we become a friend first, if we want love then we learn to give love, if we want appreciation we learn to give appreciation, if we want success we learn to make others successful, this is the natural law of life.
We are unlimited beings of immense power within us, our thoughts, words, and actions are powerful. We create life experiences through the art of giving and receiving. We can create either heaven or hell with this inner power that we have.
Every moment of life is an opportunity to give and receive. The greatest joy I receive is when I sit with myself and silently bless everything around me with all good things. I start by blessing everything that passes by, the bees, butterflies, wasps, ants, the small squirrels, cats, and dogs, the huge trees and plants, the passers by who go for a jog or a walk, the people in my family, the people driving by in their cars, the sweet friends on internet, the machines in my home, my computer, my books, the furniture, the beautiful earth I walk on.... everything... everything deserves a blessing from our heart.
This is because we are all things; we are connected, all things exist only with the Creator's essence, we all are One Consciousness! And so what we do for others we actually do for ourselves.
Just like giving, receiving is a wonderful art of generosity. When we receive gifts from others with joy it brings great blessing and satisfaction to the soul of the giver. There is so much of graciousness when we receive compliments and gifts with a joyful attitude!
The willingness to give and receive keeps abundance circulating in our life. The Universe identifies our intense emotions. Our thoughts with emotions have the power to transform. We are the beloved children of the Universe and the Universe loves to co-create with us. The more we bless everything around us, the more the Universe brings wonderful things into our life for us to be the blessing that we are!
Let us choose to live from our heart, let us not forget that we are powerful co-creators! Let us use our power to create "heaven on Earth"!
Blessings!

Meaning of this Upanishadic prayer:

From ignorance, lead us to truth;
From darkness, lead us to light;
From death, lead us to immortality
Om peace, peace, peace

Deepavali is a time of offering prayers for the enlightenment of humanity. It is a time to invite the Creator's loving light to enter into our heart and fill the Planet so that there might be great relief from sorrow, sickness, ignorance, hate, greed, war, and every kind of fear.
In one of his discourses Sri Sai Baba says, "Deepavali is a festival which is designed to celebrate the suppression of the Ego by the Higher Self. Man is plunged in the darkness of ignorance and has lost the power of discrimination between the permanent and the evanescent. When the darkness of ignorance caused by Ahamkara (the ego-feeling) is dispelled by the light of Divine knowledge, the effulgence of the Divine is experienced."

May the loving light of the Creator fill your hearts and your home on this Deepavali, and bring illumination, wisdom and peace!
Happy Deepavali to you my sweet friends!

THE MIND VS THE HUMAN

THE MIND VS THE HUMAN

Have you ever noticed your mind, it always tries to ask the question "what is wrong, what is wrong with this person, what is wrong with this situation, what is wrong, what is wrong? " An obsession with wrongness. And then it gets preoccupied with this wrongness and makes it bigger and bigger till it scares itself.

The mind's duty is to protect the body, so it takes its work seriously :-) But of course we are not this mind, neither are we this body or this personality. We are the witness of this mind, body, and personality.

We have the power to move beyond the mind and its stories and chose to ask and see, "What is the gift, what is the gift from this person in my life, what is the gift from this situation, what is the gift that life has brought to my door today, what is the gift? " The willingness to see the gift, creates magic and brings the realization that life is truly miraculous, that it is one grand journey of gathering wisdom, of awakening to the beauty within us and in all creation!

Choosing to move beyond the mind is the ultimate purpose and success of this lifetime in this human body.

Blessings!

ABUNDANCE IS OUR BIRTHRIGHT

ABUNDANCE IS OUR BIRTHRIGHT

True abundance is choosing to live in joy. When we are able to relate to every life experience with whole-hearted involvement and trust, we feel abundant, life becomes a celebration every moment.

Abundance has nothing to do with wealth or money. Every thing in this Planet has been created for us, every person, every situation, every place is there for us to know ourselves. There is never any possibility of failure.

It is our ability and our choice to celebrate and enjoy every moment, to make as more as possible with whatever we have, to be aware and conscious with our body, our breath, our space, and the things in our space. For, everything, (regardless of whether the mind defines it as good or bad), comes to our space with a gift, and we can unwrap the gift only when we choose to trust and give our attention fully to it.

Abundance is to trust life completely and expect our every need to be met, and every problem to be solved. To patiently travel the path of life and be open and receptive to all the wonderful things that life brings our way,

We can be as creative, good, talented, adventurous as we like and give our energy fully and completely every moment, not because of the expectation of anyone but because we feel good about doing things. This makes us extremely satisfied and we realize that what we have is enough and more than enough. We realize that we are powerful creators, and the Universe is eager to co-create grandness with us.

When we choose to appreciate and fully enjoy even the very little things , when we are able to do more with less then life sees to it that we are given more by just doing less. This makes us the richest people on the Planet!

A favorite affirmation:

" I am open and receptive to all the wonderful things that life brings to me. I completely trust the Universe to take care of me. My life is filled with joy and laughter. And so it is. "

Let us choose to awaken to our abundance, let us choose to live life fully, let us celebrate our gift every moment!

Blessings!

PAINTING 'THE ACT OF LIVING' AS A BEAUTIFUL ART

PAINTING 'THE ACT OF LIVING' AS A BEAUTIFUL ART

The art of living is to wake up, to choose to open our heart and see from a higher perspective.

We are bound to meet fear and torment at every twist and turn of life. The mind instantly judges things as good or bad and goes into reaction and resistance. 
But let us not be pulled down or broken down, let us allow our hearts to break open and bloom to go beyond the problem.
Even in situations where we think that we are lost, we find ourselves being guided by strange experiences, messages, people who become earth angels.
We are born with talents and tools that are so powerful than anything that is in the world outside. We can access our tools when our heart is open.
Instead of being caught up by the outer world, let us seek to pay attention to our inner world, to see from a higher perspective, to choose awareness, to stop resisting, to surrender completely to the unknown, to wait, to trust, and to listen to our soul.
The mind has no understanding of things other than itself, the mind can only judge and if we go with the mind we tend to react to situations. We cannot let the chaos and injustice of the outer world make us blind with anger, for we will become part of the same problem. When we compromise our qualities of understanding and compassion we become what we despise and we lose our humanity.
When we choose to open our hearts, we choose understanding, kindness, compassion and love which are the only true revolutionary ideals.
When we look back at our lives the toughest times had been the ones that motivated us to search for the truth, those are the times that broke our hearts open and helped us to expand our consciousness and gather wisdom.
When the heart is open every situation and every person, even the ones who torment us can become our teacher. We then easily learn the lesson and move on to freedom.
We can use every situation in life to wake us up. Let us take courage to face our fears, let us allow our hearts to open and anchor trust and patience so that we expand our understanding and find our freedom.
In the beautiful words of Pema Chödrön "the idea of karma is that you continually get the teachings that you need to open your heart. To the degree that you didn't understand in the past how to stop protecting your soft spot, how to stop armoring your heart, you're given this gift of teachings in the form of your life, to give you everything you need to open further.”

The art of living is to open our hearts and live from the place of awakened consciousness. For when we are enlightened we become the grandest gift for ourselves and for this beautiful Planet!

Blessings!

LIFE LESSONS FROM A LITTLE CAT

LIFE LESSONS FROM A LITTLE CAT

On the 8th of August a sweet little cat came up to our patio mewing.  She sat with my husband and I for sometime and she ate the food we offered her.   Many days she comes and sleeps in our patio, many days she is not there.  Our relationship with this beautiful animal is one of unconditional love and freedom.
This is the first time in my life I get to observe and play with a cat, she has reminded me of many life lessons.
She is gifted with so much confidence,  I see her excellent hunting skills, hunting and sometimes playing with small insects, and animals.
Sometimes she runs away with a sock or a towel from the laundry basket,  and plays with it with so much excitement, it is so funny to watch that it makes me crack up with laughter.  She is such a free spirit that she will do whatever comes naturally in the moment.
She is so curious that she loves to explore her surroundings fearlessly. She is independent, she goes missing for days and returns back in a healthy state.
I observe that she is present in the moment, alert and aware, and this skill serves her well to escape enemies or to hunt prey.
I see her snoozing at least two thirds of the day, I feel sleep gives her the much needed energy to hunt.
Everyday she grooms herself well, taking time to lick herself clean completely.  And the most interesting thing I noticed was she cleaned up after she poops,  she digs a hole and poops in it and duly closes with the dug up dirt!  I have never seen any animal do that!  Wow!
This little cat has reminded me about great life lessons of trust, self confidence, independence, playfulness, fearlessness, living in the moment, self care, and cleaning up after oneself!

Animals are wonderful teachers!
Blessings!

Life lessons from the eagle

LIFE LESSONS

The eagle has no fear of adversity. It has a fearless spirit. When a storm is coming all other birds seek shelter. The eagle alone, avoids the storm by flying above it.
In the storms of life if we take a leap of faith and move above the mind stories of good or bad and see from a higher perspective, it will be revealed to us that the power within us is greater than the adversity placed before us.
Life/Universe/Divine created us lovingly and placed great courage and strength within us so that we can deal with every situation placed in our path. When we live from the place of trust we get the wisdom to see our situations from a higher perspective and fearlessly bring grander solutions to our problems.
Ornithologists say that “Every bird of prey looks over its shoulder before it goes in for the kill, even a hawk watches its back – but the eagle is fearless and courageous, it never does that, it goes directly with confidence.
The life lesson from the eagle is that in the storms of life let us trust life completely, trust that the power within us is greater than our adversity, and soar above our adversity with fearlessness and create grandness.

Blessings!

MOVING INTO PRESENCE, MOVING INTO LOVE

MOVING INTO PRESENCE, MOVING INTO LOVE

The greatest dis-ease gripping humanity is the "fear about tomorrow"; every one is tormented by the mind's fear questions, will I have enough money, will my spouse continue to be with me, will I be taken care of in my old age, will I get healed, will I succeed.... and so on ... When we begin to see clearly without the fear stories of the mind we realize that there is actually no tomorrow, there is only this moment, the tomorrow also becomes another moment in the present.

"Fear about tomorrow" plagues our mind is such a way that we fail to see the gifts in front of us, we fail to appreciate life, we fail to live in the now moment which is our only place of power; we fail to do the good we came to do, and we shorten our lifespan with stress.

Almost all dis-eases of the human body and mind are stress-related, stress caused because of worry, anxiety and fear about yesterday's happenings which are dead and gone and mind created imagined worry about tomorrow. This worry and fear takes up our entire day and we have not lived even a single moment in the present today. We are constantly travelling either to the past or to the future.

Fear is totally the opposite of love, fear is what makes people to become angry, cruel, greedy, selfish and wicked, fear is the dis-ease of the mind and the body. Choosing to live in the present moment we move beyond fear, we stop comparing and competing, we stop all kinds of judgment, we anchor wisdom, and we create grandness. Yes, every human being is given the ability to create grandness, with whatever situation they are placed in! But it takes one to choose to move into the place of power, into the present moment.

Since the past and the future are imagined dramas of the mind, we cannot find God/the Divine in these places. When we cannot find God /the Divine we live in fear. This is because we are grand creator beings and we are a part of the Divine, we cannot be apart from the Divine or from each other, this it absolute truth! When we live in the fear stories of our mind, travelling to the past or the future, we have fallen asleep, and we forget the truth of who we are.

When we acknowledge the present moment, we find the present moment is full of gifts, flowing to us effortlessly in abundance, and we also find that we have been given the talents to use our gifts in excellence to live a life of wonderment and blessing to ourselves and this Planet.

Whenever fear attacks the mind, I chose to tell myself, 'What if this is the only day/the only moment I have been given to be on this Planet? If this is so how would I relate to the gift of these 24 hours given to me?"

Instantly this questioning makes me come into the present moment and I choose to be my most beautiful self, my most happy self, my most loving self towards all beings. I become my most creative self to find solutions, and create wonderment with the situations present at the moment.

Just choosing to be in this moment and doing the things of this moment with our complete presence whole-heartedly we anchor joy and wisdom becomes our way of life. 

Let us choose to live in joy and bring the gifts of our wisdom to bless ourselves and this beautiful Planet!

Blessings!
