Season of Gratitude

This is the time of year that we remember to be grateful. There is no faster way to open your heart than to feel gratitude. When we do, love pours into and through us, filling us up completely.

Despite our constant attempts, there is no other way for us to become full. No amount of food (even if it is pumpkin pie..), money, or even love from others can fulfill us. Only love from within that we share with others will do the trick. In this sense, it’s important to remember to let others love us – because that’s how they become full as well.

More than anything else, gratitude is a frame of mind. We tend to get busy during the holidays – sometimes ending up so exhausted that we forget about the important stuff, like being present. Doing things for others is not always the best way to be gracious. Sometimes it’s taking care of ourselves, doing what we can, and showing up full of life and joy.

I’m so very grateful for my blogger family, and my biological one too! Have a blessed Thanksgiving.

I recently received an email of this beautiful video. If you have a moment to watch it, I promise it will open your heart.

Fun Times

As soon as my daughter learned to talk she began asking if we could get a mini-van. My response usually went something like, When you grow up you can drive a mini-van honey.

I guess the universe heard her request because a marketing company contacted me to see if I would drive a Dodge Grand Caravan for a week as a part of a word-of-mouth marketing program.

Thinking of my daughter, I obliged. Turns out we had a blast – she with the satellite TV and me with satellite radio. She and her cousins sorted through their Halloween candy on the table in the back, and a family friend took them to a ranch for some horseback riding.

As an energy coach, I teach people that one way to share your essence with the world is to make sure that your clothes, house and car accurately reflect who you are. And although the mini-van doesn’t quite reflect my essence, I will say that it is super nice and was tons of fun.

Perhaps United Airlines needs someone to try out a first class flight to Europe?

Meditation

In addition to Eat, Pray, Love (which I’m still reading because I read several books at a time), I’m reading two other books. I don’t think it’s an accident that all three of them talk about meditation.

During my own meditation/journaling time this morning, I realized that the universe is nudging me to deepen my meditation practice. Although I have faithfully meditated every day for over fifteen years, I have not become great at it. Possibly, in part, due to my Christian orientation. If I were Hindu or Buddhist, meditation would be central to my spirituality, but as a Christian, it has been more of a grounding exercise for me.

I received an image of myself as a lovely, sturdy vase without a flower in it. Meditation is the rose. I was also given a mantra – simply Aum (Om) – which is defined as the sound of the infinite. I’m to say it one time during each inhale/exhale cycle. This makes sense, as it seems that most people who really master the art of meditation use a mantra.

I’m grateful for this insight. As after years of preparation, I’m excited to finally bloom:)

Karmic Residue

Years ago my higher self revealed the definition of karma as every action done apart from God. In other words, choices we make that are out of alignment with life. Each unconscious choice makes a mess that stands between us and feelings of peace and well being that are our birthright.

Karmic messes also dilute our energy and slow down the natural blessings that come when we are clear inside.

The only way to get back on track is to take right action consistently. When we act in alignment with our higher self, messes we’ve made are slowly cleaned up.

One thing I’ve observed though, is that there is always a lag time – you may have cleaned up the karma with diligent action, but the residue is still burning off. This can be a very frustrating time because you know your doing the right thing, but are not seeing the results you’d like.

What I’d like to say is keep on keepin’ on. It will come. Whether it’s inner peace your seeking or something external – keep taking right action knowing that the fruit of your labor is sure to be sweet.

Eat, Pray, Love

For a while now a few of my wise friends have been encouraging me to read the book Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. I’ve finally gotten around to reading it after waiting for my mom and sister to finish the “family copy.”

Eat, Pray, Love is the author’s story of healing and self-discovery. It is beautifully written and offers many blessings to readers in the form of honesty, hope and encouragement.

Elizabeth tells of a time in India when she was talking to her friend Richard about how she wished she could stop obsessing about her former boyfriend… To this, her thoughtful friend replied, “See now that’s your problem. You’re wishin’ too much, baby. You gotta stop wearing your wishbone where your backbone oughtta be.”

This is a powerful metaphor. How many times have you wished for things to be different? The image of my life force being split in two and making me fragile every time I “wish” instead of “be” has stopped me in my wishing tracks.

Perhaps wishing for life to be different makes us weak and diluted, while standing firm in what is provides the structure necessary to contain the life energy required to attract our dreams…

Thank You

I recently re-watched the movie “What the Bleep…” Many parts of the movie are powerful, but what always sticks with me is the message about water.

Dr. Emoto from Japan studied the impact of verbal messages on water molecules. He discovered that the molecules in the water labeled, “Thank you” (pictured) look like beautiful snowflakes, while the molecules in the water labeled, “You make me sick” turned yellow and toxic looking.

The movie ties this research to self-talk, citing that our bodies are more than half water. We’re challenged to reflect on the power of our thoughts to either translate into sickness or health, beauty and divine order in our bodies.
Now we have one more reason to give thanks!

These are the Days

Tuesday I turned 43. I’ve heard that every seven years we enter a new cycle and completely transform. I’m in the beginning of my 7th, 7 year cycle in 2007. Pretty powerful!

The intuitive message that I’m getting about this stage of my life is that these are the days. My whole life I’ve been striving… striving to get somewhere. It is clear that now is the time to enjoy what is in front of me and around me.

Perhaps no matter what your age, “These are the days.” Celebrate with me. I’d love to hear what characterizes the 7 year cycle you’re in right now – the special quality that marks “these days” for you. For me, it’s my health, my beautiful, fun, precocious daughter, all my family and friends, and my inner peace.

There are many areas in my life that are not what I thought they would be – I don’t have as much money in the bank as I’d like.. I can’t seem to hit that ever elusive number on the scale… and I’m single – but still – These are the days and I plan to celebrate every one of them.
