     A Year Of Joy #1 – Moving into joy

    I am inspired as I begin my day to move into joy.

    I awake with this thought.

    My goal is to move with joy throughout my day.

    The many little steps.

    I desire to look back over my day and to see the joy which I have accumulated.

    I accumulate joy through gratitude.

    I am grateful to awaken into this day.

    There are so many possibilities for me each day.

    I begin with my first deep breath.

    I express peace in this moment.

    I listen within for my Guidance.

    Even though I have my routine, I can grace it with joy.

    I am grateful I have a place to live in.

    I am grateful to keep it clean.

    I take the many tiny steps easily through my routine.

    I have a job to provide for myself.

    I express excellence and take joy as I do so.

    I care for my family in an orderly way, which includes their support through our routines.

    Even if I do not have a family, I expand my joy by offering support for other families through love.

    I am grateful for my friends.

    I listen patiently to them and appreciate their patience and understanding with me.

    Even if I do not have friends, I can be grateful for the idea of uplifting friendship and prepare for it when it comes.

    I plan my meals and prepare them with gratitude and joy.

    I travel to and from my work with peace and joy in my heart.

    I move through my day with joy.

    At the end of my day, I list my moments of joy in my Joy journal.

    I go to bed with gratitude and appreciation for the movement of joy which I express throughout my day.

    You gain new habits of inner listening and take tiny steps of action.

    You create a new life from the inside out.

  • My Happy Energy Dissolves Unhappiness

    Pebbles of Peace Pathway 4.13 –
    My Happy Energy Dissolves Unhappiness

    My happy energy dissolves unhappiness and the places it resides in me.

    If I am feeling ill or unsettled in any part of my life or body, I know that a dose of authentic happiness will revive me.

    To make it a habit, I now cultivate happiness energy.

    The strength of overcoming hidden negative influences naturally leads to the cultivation of positive and happy ones.

    I cultivate or invent happy memories.

    I make them up or create imaginary positive events and place myself in a prominent place in them.

    It’s healthier and way more fun than reviewing old negative settings.

    I know that my divinity and infinity have access to all the spiritual resources I could ever need.

    This is a fun way to play with them.

    Another great game is following up on intuitions.

    In a happy frame of mind, I see them everywhere.

    Just doing one little thing in the direction of an intuition rewards me for listening to it.

    I am so happy and proud of myself.

    I took a step in a positive direction.

    I consciously cultivated it and made a move toward it.

    That lightens my load and helps me increase my energy of happiness.

    Overcoming such an old and heavy background makes me appreciate all the tools and techniques I can discover for myself, as well as the excellent directives by truly inspired writers.

  • I embrace the messages which tell me I am loved, cherished and adored along my life-path.

    Life-Path/Story-Maze #51 – I embrace the messages which tell me I am loved, cherished and adored along my life-path.

    The messages which tell me I am loved, cherished and adored come from the Universe of infinite possibilities.

    They counteract any negative messages.

    These messges inspire the tiny steps which move me into a life of abundance and prosperity.

    The effect these messages have had in my life impel me to share them.

    It is possible for all of us to feel loved and cherished and adored.

    When we listen within and take the tiny steps consistently, they lead us into a more secure life.

    Our more secure life allows us to share the possibilities through cooperation.

    We are led to do uplifting community projects.

    We are led to improve the skills of those around us.

    We are inspired to take a stand for the untapped talents within all community members.

    Our spirit of cooperation leads us to become a leader.

    As we bear witness to the power of the Infinite in our own life, it is a call to action for so many others.

    As we move out of negativity through the power of listening within and taking tiny steps, we see its’ effects around us.

    We see its’ effects in the inspiration we create in the lives of many more.

    Being loved and cherished and adored is a reality.

    It became a possibility when I questioned the direction my life was going.

    That question opened me up to a new Universe.

    This new Universe had a different message for me.

    A compassionate message.

    A message which gave me hope.

    A message which continued manifesting itself until I moved myself into a different way of living.

    There is a way to live in the Universe Who Loves Us.

    When we listen within and take our tiny steps, it becomes  inevitable.

  • Create

    Meditation Drawing 4.14 Create

    You are the artist of your own life.

    You create it according to how you see yourself.

    You can change your view at any time.

    Regardless of how you have viewed yourself in the past, you can redraw and rewrite your life.

    You do it through desire and language and action.

    Your desire leads you to put the life you want to lead in words.

    As you listen to your new words, you are led to take new action.

    You have new feelings toward your new action.

    You are happy, fulfilled, successful.

    My new words were that I am loved, cherished and adored.

    This led me to journal in a way which expressed those ideas.

    Later, I took the action of starting a blog.

    This led to me sharing my ideas more widely.

    This led me to more visibility.

    I received positive responses to my inspirational posts.

    I learned to draw.

    I added art to my meditations.

    I learned how to create ebooks of my collections of meditations and art on a particular topic.

    This led to a shop.

    Each step of creativity builds on the previous one.

    The consistency of inner listening continually brings new ideas which can be put into words which can be put into action which creates your new life.

    As long as you maintain your desire for an uplifted life and nurture it, it will feed you with more ideas in the direction of your desire.

    Take your deep breath, and remember how precious you are.

    Then listen, write and take action.

  • Comfort of being relaxed

    Comfort #52 – Comfort of being relaxed

    I am grateful to receive the comfort of being relaxed.

    Through my consistent practice of listening within, I know that everything I need will be provided for me in a timely manner.

    I listen every morning for ideas to support me throughout the day.

    I relax into my day when I feel my connection to the Infinite.

    I remind myself that I can relax because I know I will always take the time to listen within.

    This steadying practice is what  has created a new life-direction for me.

    It has created a new career in inspirational writing and art.

    I love the feeling of being connected and doing what I love to do.

    I love receiving the feedback from others that my work is a comfort and inspiration for their life.

    This is a great contrast to the tension and depression of my earlier life.

    My new consistent practices have created a life of trust  and confidence.

    I have regained my health in a natural way as I have practiced the calming disipline of listening within.

    I know that I will always receive valuable ideas to share.

    I know that I will always be able to share them in appropriate and useful ways.

    I know how to listen for Guidance from the Infinite and that I will always act on it.

    I have a proven record of my consistency.

    This allows me to relax.

    The Infinite never runs out of care for us.

    It never runs out of resources.

    We live in a Universe Which Loves Us.

    This is how I can relax.

    I have seen this provision turn up for me over and over again in surprising ways.

    I love the feeling of the Presence and Care of the Infinite Universe.

    I experience this all the time in my new life.

  • The Last Stand

    Pebbles of Peace Pathways 4.11 –
    The Last Stand

    Once all the illusions are stripped away, there is only the original lie.

    I was surprised at its vehemence, and the conviction and strength with which it reacted, to deter me from my goal.

    But I had built up such a conviction of light, love and a sense of the divine within me that I was only a witness to that battle.

    It made its last stand in my mind.

    I was shocked and surprised at its hatefulness.

    No wonder it had to hide for so long.

    If it had been seen and exposed for what it was, it would never have been allowed to stay and work its secret ways into my life.

    But pouring in the light and developing the conviction that, despite all I was taught during all the child trauma, I do, indeed, love myself, did defeat the enemy of the first lie.

    And I am whole.

    I am now on my own calm ground, in peace of my own mind and in peace of surroundings which I choose for myself.

    I have that power.
