PLANTS ARE HIGHLY EVOLVED BEINGS


 My beloved Guruji  has shared in one of his teachings that when we sit in stillness near a plant, it is the simplest and most profound practice to know our Divine Self.
The more I connect with plants, the more I realize that they are the most highly evolved beings on the Planet.
When I was a little girl, I was fascinated by the huge trees around my family home, I loved to play underneath their shade, and when the wind rustled their leaves, I felt that the tree spoke to me in comforting language.  I had a challenging childhood and the trees, the green grass, the spring flowers and the butterflies gave me so much of comfort and companionship.  
Many times I dream of trees as beings who play with me and laugh with me, these dreams are so real and vibrant that at times when I am down I remember the trees in my dream and they instantly rejuvenate me.  I always love to sit near plants and trees and just be.
 I came across people who practice breatharianism ( these are those who do not consume food or water but just live by breathing air and absorbing light for their bodies).  It is said that humans have this capacity in them, but because it was not practiced for eons, this lies dormant in us.  And when I came across breatharians, it lead me to think about plants and trees.  Plants are true breatharians, they live in the light and breath of God!  They have highly evolved devices ( chlorophyll) in them to capture the sunlight and process it as food for all creatures on the Planet!
There are so many excellent studies and research done about the miraculous healing effects of chlorophyll for the body.
Plants are givers, they give food, clothing, shelter, medicines, gums, resins, rubber, and the list goes on and on.  Every thing of necessity for living on the Planet is given by plants.
They are great Spirits, with their immense compassion have allowed themselves to be cut down, burnt, chopped, walked upon, but still continue to give and give.
They are great healers, their great Spirits communicate with us if we connect with them.  I always find that great peace, comfort, and great ideas to solve problems come to me when I am in stillness in a garden around plants or under a tree.  
I have a few potted plants in my home, they are lovely companions, they teach me stillness to connect with Spirit. At times when I am busy, suddenly they call my attention and they make me slow down and come back to my awareness and connection with my Divine Self. Having a small garden with a few potted plants is enough to bring peace and joy to the heart. My prayer sanctuary is where my plants are.  Having potted plants in the home bring a sweet lively energy, and uplift the energy of the room where it is placed.
When I have potted plants near my bed, I have noticed that I often dream of Nature Spirits and so I definitely know that when we bring plants into the home they not only cleanse and rejuvenate the home but they also bless the home and the people living there!
I have also noticed that they cleanse and diffuse negativity form the home and they bring so much of sweet, comforting, sacred energy to the space they are in.  In one of Dolores Cannon's book, " Keepers of the Garden" I read that the Creator beings when they find a Planet that is suitable for life the first creatures that they bring there are Plants.  The Plants clean the environment of all toxins and fill the environment with atmosphere suitable for other life forms to live in. 
We have a park in my home town in India, and as a little girl when I visited this park, someone had placed a board at the entrance saying " IN THIS PLANET WE ARE GUESTS OF PLANTS".  That was a powerful reminder for me and for everyone. 
Connecting with trees and plants remind us of unconditional love, compassion and kindness that we are born with.  They are great teachers who teach us to respect ourselves, our Divine nature and to respect this Planet our Home.

SHAKEN AWAKE TO FACE FEAR AND BECOME FEARLESS


Whatever is happening is extremely frustrating but I trust that the Universe has its own wisdom. Everything in life happens to help us know our power. 
 If many of us have been sleeping and going about our life mechanically, then we have been shaken awake. Many hearts are open and overflowing with concern for fellow beings. We have taken up our courage to leave our homes, our jobs and everything we considered as priority and come into the streets and airports to give our voice of support for our fellow humans in every way possible.
This is a grand period of awakening.
 We have come to the understanding that sharing and caring for each other is the purpose of human life and to do this we have the power within ourselves.
 The people of the world are coming into the awakening truth that they need not depend on systems on the outside, they can heal and care for each other just by opening their hearts and serving each other with integrity.
When people awake all controlling systems have to go away.
 We have decided to face our fears and become fearless. We are about see great and wonderful changes in our lifetime. Be of good courage and trust my dear friends. We are renewing and recreating ourselves. The Universe is on our side, it is kind.

GETTING OUT OF DUALITY TO BECOME NOTHING

GETTING OUT OF DUALITY TO BECOME NOTHING
The duality game continues as long as we continue to label ourselves and play roles and involve and become deeply hooked in the roles we play.
If I label myself as teacher, I find that there are many around me whom I have to teach. If I label myself as healer, then I find that there are many around me who need healing, and so it goes with all the labels I bind myself to. The labels are a duality game, unconsciously we get hooked and we strive to keep up the name in the label and we continue to live in stress.
While consciously noticing my breath, I noticed that I am not the one that is breathing, I am being breathed, .... oh how humbling that is to know! I noticed that my internal organs are perfectly doing what they need to do without any effort from me! The body has it own intelligence which lives it, with no effort from me. I am not the body, not the mind, not the personality even.
I am a traveler beyond time and space, beyond body and mind. I am just here in this body for a moment in eternity. I have been given the grace and favor to be inside a body at this time so that I gather wisdom through my acts of love, kindness, forgiveness, patience and trust.
We forget this profound truth when we continue to immerse ourselves in this game of labeling ourselves and others. So many labels, friend, mother, father, sibling, professor, boss, employee, assistant, homemaker, wife, son , daughter, businessman, politician, engineer, doctor, healer, etc... we become so unconsciously involved in this game that we lose our freedom. Freedom to be the truth of who we are.
The moment we remove all labels and empty ourselves of who we thought we are, the light of understanding dawns on us. It brings the understanding that nothing belongs to us, not even our body or mind, and that everything was given to us for a few moments in eternity to gather wisdom.
When we empty ourselves of labels we allow Divine inspiration to flow though us. We release the "I" and allow the "Diivne I AM" to flow within. When this happens we live from the place of Divine inspiration. So that all the roles we play are not out of duty or attachment but from the place of Divine inspiration and wisdom.
This helps us get out of the game of duality, to get out of stress, to not worry about the outcome but just live as the truth of who we are. The truth that we are Divine beings living in a human form.
Blessings!
