CELEBRATE LIFE

Appreciation is the art of responding to life. 
When appreciation is practiced the mind stops its thoughts and the heart flowers open. 
Never let even a single moment of life walk away without appreciating it. 
Life is who we are, but to understand this we need to improve our relationship with life, with everything life brings our way. 
Appreciating our bodies makes our bodies' wisdom to flow.
Appreciating people makes them bring out the best in them.
Appreciating children makes them to grow into self-confident, powerful and loving beings
Appreciating the place we live, the things we use, the people we meet, the food we eat, the air we breathe, the clothes we wear, yes, everything, even the things we think are troubling us, deserve our appreciation; when we practice appreciation it triggers the life-giving energies of the Universe to flow our way.
Life flows with effortless ease.
We come to understand that there is no separation, we are in oneness with the cosmos, and we are Life itself.
This understanding makes us never to let even a single moment of life go without celebrating it.

ALIGNING WITH PATIENCE

REMEMBERING & ALIGNING WITH ‘PATIENCE’

Patience is a grand quality. Unfortunately, In this busy world we have stopped to exercise this grand quality called patience.

The mind is always in a hurry. We have become addicted to “instant everything” from instant coffee, instant painkillers, to instant answers from the internet, everything is supplied but nothing satisfies. Humanity is still searching, searching for that meaning, that missing spirit in life.

If we choose to slow down, to relax in the moment and observe patiently, we will be amazed by the grand enlightening experience and wisdom each moment brings. Life is never boring, life is a vast journey, a beautiful mystery. And this beauty can be unfolded with complete satisfaction only by patience.

The magic and miracle in a child’s laughter, a hug from a friend, the blossoming of wild flowers on the edge of the roadway, the grand experience of cooking for yourself and your loved ones by pouring your conscious presence of gratitude, hugging a huge tree, feeling the gentle touch of the breeze on a hot summer day, looking into the eyes of a stranger and blessing from the heart, holding the hand of a loved one, sitting silently under the vast expanse of a starry night sky, asking a question and searching for an answer within the heart and allowing for the experience to unfold, sitting with pain and communicating within the body for answers and allowing the body to show us the wisdom…..the list goes on and on. Every moment of life is magical and precious if we are able to be patient enough to be present in the moment.

It is imperative that we choose to exercise patience every moment, for the journey of life is timeless and full of wisdom. If we live in a hurry we will be at a loss and will keep on searching and the search can never be satisfied.

Patience is not being passive, patience is being very alert to life, it is being in excited anticipation of what the next moment brings. Patience is wisdom, it is waiting for life with great love, it is a great trust towards the Divine.

Let us choose to anchor patience and harvest the immense wisdom life brings our way. Let us stop searching for instant answers on the outside and patiently learn to go within and realize the great wisdom we have brought with us into this Planet. We are the wisdom keepers, it is time to wake up!

Blessings!

We are the Valentines of Creation

WE ARE THE VALENTINES OF CREATION

Sweet Friends, <3 span=""> <3 span=""> <3 span="">

Its Valentine's Day!

This day is celebrated in remembrance of Saint Valentine, the monk who was an embodiment of kindness.
For eons wars are fought on this Planet for the greed of the rulers. Usually young people are the target to be taken away to fight wars. In his time Saint Valentine prevented young people from going to war, he secretly married them against the knowledge of the rulers so that they will become loving people and not people who go to war.
Today the concept of war is sold in a gift wrapped packet called "hero", people are mindlessly made to kill other humans whom they do not even know.
A human being is precious, a grand gift of life. We all are One Consciousness. We are grand gifts to each other, the purpose of human life is to uplift each other, to love and care for each other, to be each others' sweet valentines, to love the planet, to care for the plants, animals and all beings, to be the sweet valentines of the Planet.
It is important that each one of us remember and re-member to consciously present ourselves as a gift to life. Life gifts us with grand blessings each moment and our gift to life is to be consciously present to receive the gifts.
 When we are consciously present we live from our wisdom and unconditional love. We live as divinity in humanity. We live as grand valentines for ourselves, humanity, and for this beautiful Planet!
Let us choose to be grand Valentines of Creation.
Happy Valentine's Day Sweet Friends!
Blessings!
