Faith, Hope and Love, the greatest of these is Love

I was brought up in a Christian home so I guess I am more familiar with Christian teachings, but as I grow my knowledge of other religions is also growing.  One truth is that all religions preach the same thing – Love.  It is human interpretations and egos that have created all the chaos and separation between religions.

My new life

I am not suffering, I am only undergoing birth pangs as I shed the old that no longer serves me and move through birth into my new life.

I asked God

I asked God to take away my habit.
God said, No.
It is not for me to take away, but for you to give it up.

Just release

Being happy, staying happy

Image source: Foundation for a Better Life's facebook page

Happiness – the thing that everyone says they want to feel all the time.  But we need to know the opposite of happiness to truly appreciate what it means to be happy.  It is as with all things in life, there is always an opposite to help us truly understand what the positive emotion is.

Hold nothing back

All is One

In the dance, the One became the many, and now the many must become One again.
This is what ascension is all about, the many taking the steps necessary to become as One.
As One, One moves into Unity and in Unity all kingdoms dance together in an ongoing state of harmony and unconditional Love.
As all species on Earth dance in unity again, so shall all dimensions dance in Unity, within your God and Goddess head - as All is One.

A positive attitude

Our lives are not determined by what happens to us
But by how we react to what happens,
Not by what life brings to us, 

But by the attitude we bring to life.
A positive attitude causes a chain reaction
Of positive thoughts, events, and outcomes
It is a catalyst,
A spark that creates extraordinary results ♥

I’m facing a situation where my basic values in life are being questioned.

There is a person who I thought was a friend, someone who I’ve known for over ten years and who over those years have actually been a person I could rely on.

Letting go

I think letting go has been one of the hardest challenge for me till now.  By letting go, I mean letting go of the past, the present and the future; everything that has happened or not happened in my life.

Life

Here is God's promise:
Life proceeds, it never recedes.  Life progresses, it never regresses.  Not even death ends anything.  The movement of life is ever upward.  All endings start something better.  It is inevitable.

All is well

I stand at the centre of my reality as an aspect of the Divine.
Let all that wishes to come, come,
Let all that wishes to go, go.
My Life unfolds in Divine perfection.
All is well.

Surrender of the ego

Do something

Nothing is ever solved, or created, by standing still.
Movement is the process of the universe.
So move, do something, anything.  But do not stand still.  Do not fence sit.
Put your foot down on one side or the other, swing the opposite leg over and start walking.
You'll know before you take ten steps if you are going in the right direction.

Stepping out of the rut

The truth is that our finest moments

Are most likely to occur

When we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled

For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort

That we are likely to step out of our ruts

And start searching for different ways or truer answers.

Keeping our energy up

Image source: Samuel Greenberg's facebook page

We are all made up of energy and the densest part of this energy manifests itself as our physical body.   But that does not mean that our body is devoid of energy, in fact our bodies are pulsing with energy.  You can actually feel this energy by just becoming still and thinking about the energy – you will most often start to get a tingling sensation maybe in your palms or the soles of your feet.  This is the energy that we are made up of.  If we still ourselves long enough, we will feel our entire body tingling with the energy.  And with time we can feel this energy without even having to concentrate on it.

This also means that when we interact with any other being, we are interacting with their energy field.  Interactions with others can be positive or negative and as I mentioned in an earlier post others can drain us of our energy if we are not aware of what is happening.

I think that with any interaction, if we keep ourselves aware of the energy play and know when something is happening, we can stop it immediately before we are depleted of our energy.  This is another method I find very useful to keep my energy.  I am sure that there would have been instances when you notice someone looking you from top to bottom and you feel a bit weird and uneasy. What happens when someone does this is that they are either consciously or unconsciously lowering your energy level.  This is done by the downward motion of their eyes.   A downward motion normally lowers your energy level, while an upward motion increases your energy levels.  You can try this out on yourself.  Just move your hand down from your head to your torso and I am sure you will notice the energy lowering.  And if you then move your hand upward from your torso to your head you will feel the energy rise again.  

People who consciously do this to bring someone's energy down, do this very cleverly - it could be in a meeting with a pen which you think they are just playing with, or with their eyes to the other person, or even just mentally.  And a lot of people do this unconsciously because they are not aware of what they are doing.  So at anytime if you feel your energy is lowering, just automatically raise it up by doing an upward motion from your torso to your head, either with your hand or mentally.  Also when you are around others, it helps to keep your head up and look up instead of looking down, as this also helps keeps your energy up.

How I define myself

Shared from Dragonmore's facebook page

Keep your power

Image source: Samuel Greenberg's facebook page

Remember to keep your power with you always.  Don't let others take away your energy.

When we encounter and deal with people who tend to dominate or are over bearing, what really happens energetically is that they drain us of our energy.  If you think back on encounters you've had , you will be able to recall instances when you have felt drained, upset or weak after talking to someone; this is an instance where the other person has taken away your energy.  And on the other end of the spectrum, when you speak or deal with someone who makes you feel good or uplifted, they are sharing their love and positive energy with you and uplifting you at the same time.

An angel's touch

Ever felt an angel’s breath in the gentle breeze?

A teardrop in the falling rain?

Hear a whisper amongst the rustle of leaves?

Or been kissed by a lone snowflake?

Nature is an angel’s favourite hiding place.

Soul Mate

A Soul mate is someone to whom we feel profoundly connected, as though the communication and communing that take place between us were not the product of intentional efforts, but rather a Divine Grace.

This kind of relationship is so important to the Soul that many have said there is nothing more precious in life.

The path to forgiveness

image: www.freeimages.co.uk

When someone does something very hurtful and then continues to carry on doing the same knowing very well that his actions are causing you harm, what can you do?  How can you even start the process of forgiving that person?

I recently watched Neale Donald Walsch’s segment on you tube where he talks about forgiveness and how we should try and understand the other person’s perspective and what makes them do the things that hurt us.  I understand what he is saying and also know that forgiving someone releases us from feeling the pain, anger and other emotions that we feel towards the person who hurt us.

Understanding is one thing, but my dilemma is going through the actual act of forgiveness.  I can tell myself to let go of the situation, I don’t need to feel the negative emotions anymore, I should put it behind me, etc., etc., but somehow that does not seem enough.  I feel fine just after I have told myself to let go and can then go on for a while without any thoughts on the issue, but then when another incident happens where the same thing has happened again, I don’t seem to have any control of the negative emotions that I feel.  And if I let myself go into the spiral of negative emotions, I am letting myself go lower again instead of carrying on the path to forgiveness.

I now understand that forgiveness does not happen in one moment (it would be great if we can do it) but that it can actually take time and that we have to be patient and have the right intentions when we choose to forgive someone.  I know from how I felt about the situation on day one and how I feel about it today, I have come a long way.  Today I am more in control of my emotions and I have the awareness not to let the anger and the pain control me when something new happens.  I believe that if we are true to our intention to forgive we have taken the first steps on the path to forgiveness and after this we have to just stay on the path and keep repeating ‘I forgive you’ whenever the incident comes to mind and we start feeling the negative emotions all over again.  It’s all too easy for us to keep the negative emotions and victimise ourselves because that is what our ego automatically does.  We have to be very conscious of bringing the positive thoughts to mind when a negative emotion wants to take over and if we continue to do this without fail each and every time, there will be a time when we have only positive thoughts in our mind when we look back at the incident.

I know I will get to that place where I can look back at the situation and the person who caused it and have only love towards that person.  And when I reach this point, I know I have walked the path to forgiveness.

Living in the present

Image source: Samuel Greenberg's Facebook page

Today is the tomorrow you dreamt about yesterday.

I’ve read articles and heard talks on how you should live in the present, in the right now and not in the past or the future.  And I guess I always thought ‘yes, that’s true, it makes sense that you should live in the present and not in the past or the future’ and then let it go.

But I think I am only beginning to realise what this actually means and it’s only by going through difficult times that I began to think and gain insight into those sayings that seem to always float about just above just waiting to get some attention.

What does it mean to live in the present or in the moment? Is it that we don’t bother about any of the things that happened to us or live as if we don’t care about tomorrow and therefore do whatever we want today?  I don’t think so.  For me the realisation is that what I experience each moment and how I think and react in each moment is the key.  I can spend my present moment thinking of the past and be either happy or sad about things that happened or think about tomorrow and worry about how the day is going to be.  But that would mean that my present is lost because I am not experiencing right now.  And right now can be very peaceful; without all the worries that I may otherwise have on my mind.

Right now being in the moment for me is – sitting at my desk typing this, I am enjoying writing and putting my thoughts down, just writing away.  I am at peace with myself, I am not thinking about anything else, not of what happened, or what may or may not happen.  Right now at this moment there is no worry or anguish or pain about anything. 

Does this mean that I am not bothered about anything and by being in the present I am not thinking of resolving issues that I am faced with? I don’t think so.  I know what I must face, but I think that by being in the present, I am able to hold on to positive energies and thoughts and thereby shape my next moment and the next and so on through all the moments that I live through.

Does that make sense?  I hope so as I am still processing this and working on integrating this in my life.

In Love and Light
