  • Prevent

    Meditation Drawing 4.7 Prevent

    In times of crisis, it is our duty and privilege to prevent despair.

    After considering the consequences of a low energy response to danger, we take the steps to re-energize ourselves.

    We draw old and new resources to us.

    We listen within to discern the new.

    We are always in a place to receive answers when we do this.

    We position ourselves to become responsive to them.

    We act with poise and balance and courage and certainty.

    Even if we do not feel these emotions, we allow them to enter our being.

    We create the conditions for inner listening over and over again.

    As we hear the same message, it points us in the best direction.

    I live in a Universe Which Loves All of Us.

    I am responsive to a solution which creates well-being for all of us.

    I am uplifted by this possibility.

    I want to be prepared to implement the tiny steps which come to me.

    The first tiny step which comes to me is to share the message of inner listening.

    The second one is to share the message of how precious and loved each one of us is.

    There are no barriers to inner listening, once we decide to do it.

    We take our first deep breath and let its’ peace spread throughout our being, mind, body, soul and spirit.

    I am making room for the next uplifting and comforting idea.

    You can do this, too.

    The source of my messages is the Uplifting Universe.

    We will find our way step-by-step.

    It is enough.

    It is enough to listen within and to know this fact.

  • Comfort of following the instructions of the Infinite

    Comfort #45 – Comfort of following the instructions of the Infinite

    My earliest steps in healing came from following the instructions of the Infinite.

    My consistent practice grew so that I now find this is always the best process.

    I am led to a course of action which is timely and accurate.

    The Universe is kind and requires only that I listen.

    The guided action is always within my capacity, even when I have to stretch a bit.

    I am grateful to discover my alone time with the Universe.

    It knows how to comfort and guide me.

    It removes the confusion of many different opinions.

    The useful and practical ideas from the Infinite are always available.

    It is fun to see new projects come together over and over.

    It is a relief to always anticipate useful guidance.

    After basing my actions on my experiences, I am happy and grateful to turn everything over to the relationship I have with the Infinite.

    It’s much vaster range includes everything I need to know delivered at just the right time in the right way.

    I do not struggle to figure things out.

    I listen within.

  • Just a Person

    Pebbles of Peace Pathway 4.4 –  Just a Person

    The issue of race is being addressed most effectively person to person as well as through the several anniversaries of legal achievements.

    The courageous acts of children and their parents to break the race barrier is of inestimable value.

    Throughout my teaching career, I had the honor of teaching children of all races with many marvelous and dedicated teachers of all races.

    Because of the prevalence of historical attitudes, there is a racial residue we are still dealing with.

    By working with everyone and experiencing similar situations, it is possible to get to know more individuals and their stories.

    When I am in conversation in multi-racial situations, I always feel an underlying evaluation process.

    Am I sympathetic?  Aware?  Whose side am I on?

    Once it is apparent where I stand, and that it is OK, I am accepted more fully into the conversation.

    This happens each time, person to person.

    As we seek out the experiences which put us in touch with more individuals, we will have more opportunities to lessen this historical residue and help create more awareness within our individual friendships.

  • Comfort of being full of light

    Comfort #44 – Comfort of being full of light

    I fill myself up with light every morning and several times during the day.

    I do this by listening within.

    There is always an answer when I am in doubt about what to do.

    My inner listening begins before I even get up.

    I prepare myself to write inspirational meditations as my first activity.

    The writing is what gives direction to my day.

    I am able to add to my light through the Meditation Drawings which I create.

    Each aspect of expression creates more light in my day.

    What I love is being able to amplify it by sharing it with others.

    I am grateful to learn that it is helpful to other people when they respond to what I post.

    This life is very different from the one I used to experience.

    Years ago, I reached out in desperation for a way to fix my life.

    It took consistent journalling to finally sort it out.

    I still journal and listen within for answers.

    Life can always be more harmonious.

    I have become calmer as I listen within.

    For one thing, there is always an answer.

    My consistent practice has led to a new career doing what I love.

    There is never a hurry when you know that you are in your right place.

    There is never any worry when you know you can turn within to receive what you need.

    The peace I receive through living my new life is reflected all around me.

    I live in beautiful surroundings.

    I have easy access to all my creative materials.

    I use them to create new series of art and affirmations on new topics.

    My peace and calm and comfort expand around me.

    I am grateful to realize a new life and a new path.

  • Stewarding the Peace

    Pebbles of Peace Pathway – Gelli Art #3 – Stewarding the Peace

    Living out in the country between events, we practice the peace.

    We let it seep back out to fill up the space where there was activity.

    We listen to the silence, instead of conversation.

    We sit or move gently, even slowly, so as not to disturb the air.

    Once more, butterflies alight on our arms or legs.

    Once more, birdsong conversations predominate.

    Once more, we notice the specialized buzzing sounds of particular insects.

    In these ways, we steward the peace.
