I ask for their help in doing my healing work with people and animals and set the intention that the healing goes out to all sentient beings and the earth itself. When the help arrives, in the form of books, articles, offers of support or whatever, I say Yes and accept it with thanks.
Do you ever feel like you’re swimming upstream rather than effortlessly flowing with the changes happening in your life?
If you have… Chances are you’re a bit out of synch with your spiritual self.
Play, something many of us truly don’t remember. Even as children, how quickly play gave way to competition and dominance struggles. A tragedy. I see above this now. I see it all. Below and behind is this churning, brackish water, that seems to turn into a putrified sludge, but ahead, I see the light, and the light is taking over.
How do you attract what you want in life? The answer is not as complicated as you may think, but attracting what you want does require a certain degree of belief in something that goes beyond the physical senses. It requires a belief in something that you cannot see, smell, hear, or touch.
I will not yield to the delusions of the masses. I am a vessel for the fire of truth. If you come to me with your petty stories of who you think you are, and how you can never be happy or free, the Spirit within me will eat you whole, as a sunflower seed, taking you into itself, and spitting out the hard but shallow shell of your false beliefs.
As a young teen growing up in a small southern town on the east coast, my parents used this weekly phrase to remind me of my lack of order “until this room is completely clean, you aren’t going anywhere with your friends!” I can’t help but wonder how many of you experienced a similar parental tactic. Does that method REALLY make you want to clean up your room?
The poem was written for a couple I know, who just got to experience the most joyful event in their life only to hear some months later that that little miracle won’t last.
Some of the fondest memories of childhood were the days I would run through my yard with skinned knees and wild hair with my dogs and cats along for the ride. I was fortunate enough to grow up in a simple, small town where the neighbors’ pets ran free and had daily visits with me after school.
When I was 8 years old, my father gave my brother and me a questionnaire with 50+ questions to discover our main operating paradigm or belief system. After about 30 minutes, we discovered we were, for the most part, operating with a frog’s mentality.
I am 52 now, and for many years I have believed in Angels. I thought I would write about how I met my Guardian Angel and learned her name. I say her, but I now know that Angels don’t have particular genders, as fundamentally they are beings of energy, of light. Thinking of an Angel as male or female is for the benefit of humans, not necessary, but if it helps us to open up, to connect, then they are content with that.
Our minds often go a mile a minute with so many thoughts at once that it can be a real challenge to just be. Here is a story from Deborah on how she leaves the metropolis behind just for a short time to calm her thoughts.
Often times an individual goes to great lengths to find solutions to her or his challenge by looking outside of self. After all, it is human to do so. Isn’t there always someone else to blame for the situation one is in? That would seem to be the easy route.
