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!

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!

AN INVITATION TO CREATE APPRECIATION PARTIES

Forgetting to appreciate our blessings is one of the cause for sadness and lack of joy in life.

Peoples minds are reeling with wounded stories, our culture revolves around telling stories of sadness, and extreme judgments about people and 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. In any gathering, whether it is with family or friends we love to have dramas, if your stories get bigger and better you become the hero. As a society we are so addicted to soap operas and movies that portray sadness, horror, war, wickedness and cruelty. Even our history was written based more on these things.

It is time we wake up to the truth that we are the creators of our reality. Absolutely! There is nothing out there, the consciousness we hold on the inside is reflected as the world outside.

This truth has been explained, tested, and proved over and over again for centuries by ancient cultures, by people who meditated and deeply connected within, by quantum physicists and visionaries.

We are a collective, we are responsible for the consciousness we bring into the collective. Everything manifests only through our collective human consciousness.

When we stop the wars and violent thoughts within us we stop all wars happening outside.

When we start celebrating life and speak more about our blessings, which is, have appreciation parties, we create heaven on earth.

We have had enough and more of war and violence. Let us erase all history and create grandness for ourselves and our children.

Let love, acceptance, and appreciation be our new language.

Let us choose to gossip about all the goodness in people and about life situations so that we expand and multiply our blessings!

Let us have appreciation parties everyday!

Blessings!
