Joyfull Living – September 2014

We can easily recognize something being beyond ordinary outside of ourselves but we often take for granted that our own body/mind system is exquisite. When we connect to the deeper part of ourselves, our higher self, we can feel that we are simply divine! When we experience a moment of beauty, like a sunset, an expensive view, a thriving garden…it touches our hearts and reconnects us to our Spirit. Nature reminds us of the awe of the creative force of the Universe and mirrors to us our own divinity. We don’t have to “think” about it because we are all simply divine by design. By embracing our divinity in each other and ourselves, we deepen our connection to the Divine Creative Force of the Universe. Acknowledging our greatness, not in an egotistical way, but with humility and compassion, allows us to take back the power of our mind and free ourselves from the suffering caused by victim mentality. We take responsibility for the quality of life we are choosing to co-create with the Universe. This is a day-to-day, moment-by-moment, practice.

Living with the awareness of a higher power of your understanding, takes one valuable asset that we all have—time. The most common question I get from clients is “How can I stay connected to this awareness during my day-to-day life? I seem to think of it more in times of crisis, but when things get better I go back to being too busy.” The number one obstacle to inner self-care is time. How much time do you give your smart phone, Facebook, your garden, your pet? Make a list of how you invest your time in a day. You will be amazed. We spend more time feeding fear and worrying, than being in awareness of our life force, our divinity. Life’s busy demands take over and we lose our connection to Source energy. We choose to struggle through “trying” to make our life better, instead of flowing with life and living our best life NOW. Everything we experience in life is a reflection of our relationship to it. Our everyday relationships, moment-to-moment, that we experience with people, animals, our computers, money, food, etc.… create the quality of life we live. We know that a good relationship takes time and effort. We are so busy that we forget the most precious relationship we have—to our higher self. Our relationship to that deep part of ourselves that connects us to Divine Source Energy (of your understanding) is often sorely neglected.

Yet it is so simple, it just takes a little quiet time. If living life with meaning, passion and joy is of value to you, what are you investing to live that life now?

It’s right there within you, right now, in this moment. Take a breath and connect to the flow of your breath and listen to your heart. It’s not always easy but it is simply divine.

I am so looking forward to sharing my next virtual class (from your home or at the studio): Living Inspired & Empowered—Bringing Spirituality into Everyday Living. Within the reality of “real life” you can access that sacred part of yourself. Life is a process—it’s not about doing it perfectly but learning to lovingly acknowledge, accept and appreciate the gift of your Life!

If you want to get inspired, take back your power as you strengthen your connection to your higher self to get into the flow of life, this class and our Full Moon Sound Healing gathering are great opportunities for you. The secret to JoyFull Living is simple but it requires your participation. Take actions that support your inner intentions. Take time to embrace the fact that YOU are Simply Divine!! Namaste—the divine in me acknowledges the divine in you!
