  • Peace Going into the Holidays

    Pebbles of Peace Pathways 4.6 – Peace Going Into the Holidays

    I find myself guarding my peace as the pace picks up for the holidays.

    I am making sure that I take my time completing my arrangements as I leave the house so I am not caught up in the franticness of the traffic.

    I am remembering that I still have my work to do and that I need peace of mind in order to do it.

    I read my spiritual writers to remind me of why I am here.

    I take the time I need to do what is important to me.

    I do not get pushed around at the prompting of the advertisers who serve their corporate directorates.

    I know who I am and who I am taking care of and why, and I choose how to do that.

    My celebration is quieter and it is moment by moment.

    I notice the atmosphere around me.

    I am creating my own.

  • I can expand my life to uplift and improve the lives of others.

    Life-Path Story Mazes – #45 I can expand my life to uplift and improve the lives of others.

    As I accept the greater peace and productivity in my life and see it overflow, I realize that it is  within my  power to uplift and improve the lives of others.

    This is a momentous thought.

    After all the tiny steps and dedicated listening, I know I have a resource which is valuable for others.

    I am grateful when others receive the messages which come to me to share.

    I  know that the Universe Which Loves Us intends for all needs to be met in harmonious and uplifting ways.

    Because of the way my life has been changed I am empowered to give hope to others.

    I can share my resources and encourage them to seek out their own.

    Each of us has access to a Universe of Infinite Resources which are tailor-made for our individual expression.

    It is something we always include.

    It starts to show up when we become desperate because things are not working out.

    Then we turn away from our current ways of doing things and reach out into the void.

    The void turns out to be the Universe with Its’ fullness.

    We learn to tap into that fullness and let It transform our life.

    Others see it and are inspired and impelled to create a new life for themselves.

    There is a wonderful, inspiring life that is always available to each of us.

    We cultivate it through our daily inner istening and tiny steps.

    These become a new foundation which is uplifting for us and for all who see us.

    It is a natural progression to move from individual to community upliftment.

    Whatever works in our home and work life that is unselfish becomes a powerful force in our communities.

    Generosity is the conviction that resources are overflowing from the Infinite Universe into our lives.

    It creates a new atmosphere in all of our projects.

    We feel the creative spark which translates into life-improvement.

  • Brave

    Meditation Drawing 4.8 Brave

    It is natural in the face of threatening circumstances to be brave.

    We respond immediately to protect what we love.

    We give our all to hasten to the rescue, and we are effective.

    We draw to us whatever resources are necessary for protection and comfort.

    Even if it is a new situation and we are not sure where to find what we need, ideas flood in to make sure we can take care of what is vital to us.

    We have seen this happen to individuals and to communities.

    When a community is hit by a catastrophic weather event, people show up with whatever they have to help. 

    Even in the face of confusion and chaos, we can hear within our heart what we need to do.

    And we can find a way to do it.

    When the situation is desperate, we find the strength, we find the clarity of thought, and we take appropriate and effective action.

    Sometimes the scale is small; sometimes the scale is large.

    We always draw on the same Source.

    Sometimes it does not make sense when we are given our task, because it is a new situation.

    Since we live in a Universe Which Loves All of Us, we always have access to the best, most timely, appropriate and effective resources to bring well-being to all.

    Even when it is not a physical catastrophy, we may be drowning in misunderstanding.

    We may be overwhelmed by an avalanche of confusion and dismay.

    Our old ways of getting somewhere by the roads we have always traveled may be washed out.

    But the resources of the Infinite are always available and always effective as we access them.

    Anytime we feel dismay, we take our deep breath. 

    We access the calm that is available for that moment.

    The calm interrupts the rushing, unthinking course of the disaster, with a feeling of Presence.

    We will do this over and over again, until we find our way, moment by moment, to a complete and uplifting resolution.

  • Comfort of being in alignment with the Infinite

    Comfort #46 Comfort of being in alignment with the Infinite

    I can tell when I am in alignment with the Infinite by the feeling of peace I experience.

    When I am disturbed, I know to listen within to receive a peaceful answer.

    I will be told when to take action and which action to take.

    I will be able to find my way to new places and new locations.

    I will be able to arrive on time.

    I will be able to carry out any activity which is necessary to complete a project in a harmonious way.

    These are the resources which the Infinite has to give me.

    My only goal is to listen within under all circumstances.

    This approach replaces relying on my past experiences and opinions.

    It replaces relying on the opinions and experiences of other people.

    The Universe knows exactly where I am and what I need.

    It guides me and protects me and informs me.

    I am happy when I am in alignment with the Infinite Universe.

    There are any number of activities which provide me joy.

    I am doing work which I love to do.

    I listen within for the ideas I need to carry it out.

    I am guided to learn new skills.

    I am guided to apply my new skills in the best way.

    Being in alignment with the Infinite is like having the most knowledgeable Mentor, ever.

    This Guide is always present when I listen within.

    I can turn within with confidence.

    The smallest details are taken care of.

    Aspects I would not know to anticipate are taken care of.

    I am a receptive messenger.

    I am happy to accept the new life created by the Universe Who Loves Me.

  • Moving Forward With Peace

    Pebbles of Peace Pathways 4.5 – Moving Forward with Peace

     With the assurance that we are doing the chosen work we we love, we can move forward with peace.

    We know our work is important and that it is contributing to uplifting society and civilization.

    We know that we are doing it well.

    We can enjoy the lifting up of everything we see.

    We can appreciate the receptivity in every direction we are led.

    We can feel the divine and holy moment everywhere we go.

    This is possible because we are each divine and holy.

    Every breath we take is a tribute to our Creator.

    Everyone with whom we communicate comes from the same place.

    As we see how much we are united in being here and now, it becomes easier and easier to appreciate how much we share and how much we can share with each other.

    I am so delighted to be in a field which is devoted to the lifting up of all its clients.

  • I can accept grace along my life path.

    Life Path Story Mazes – #44 I can accept grace along my life path.

    I know that I operate the best I can in my daily life.

    I know that I do not know the solutions to every question which arises.

    So many  times, I am rescued by a surprising idea or a coincidence of some kind.

    I understand now that it is Grace.

    I am living in a Universe Which Loves Me.

    Even if I am not aware of the resources around me, they are there.

    When I do feel them, it is because of Grace.

    Surprising answers and coincidences cause me to listen within.

    I pause because something is different.

    I have been forced to step off the path of my opinions.

    Even my best plan is no match for the Infinite Grace and Care in my life.

    I have learned to trust the  presence of my Higher Power.

    That is the only way I can explain the unexpected and unusual appearance of certain kinds of answers in my life.

    I am thrown off track by the confusion and agitation which occur from disturbing circumstances.

    I have no answers of my own.

    But as I pause and take a deep breath, I create room, a moment, for grace.

    And there is my answer.

    Grace is the moment which provides peace for a comforting message to appear.

    I discover that I am not alone.

    There is a governing Presence all around me throughout my life.

    I only tune into it when I am in distress.

    Then I discover It is there all the time and I can always tune into It.

    Grace is not something I know to ask for.

    Grace is not something I can prepare for.

    But grace is something which I can accept when it does appear.
