  • Wonder

    Meditation Drawing 4.37 Wonder –

    We can approach each day with a sense of wonder.

    As we step away from the news cycles and advertising, we can hear what is within us.

    We can appreciate the immeasurable happiness we receive through our inner communion.

    Gentle, beautiful observations add wonder to our day.

    We feel our alignment with the uplifting aspects of life.

    This is a moment of supreme attraction.

    As we separate ourselves from the push and pull of the day, we feel the deep presence of peace.

    This is a wonderful, attracting force.

    We can choose to follow it.

    We no longer wonder what to do in a confused and agitated state.

    We have our peace within, and that restores our sense of wonder and appreciation.

    The gentleness and tenderness of wonder nurtures us.

    We take a deep breath and pause.

    This interrupts the wave of concern and confusion all around us.

    It is no longer internalized.

    We are filling up the space with wonder and wholeness.

    We leave room for more appreciation of the beauty around us.

    Even in the midst of chaos, we can find a moment of beauty and peace.

    This is a powerful act.

    It takes courage and strength to resist the pull of fear and dread.

    We can pause, take in a moment of wonder, and think clearly.

    We are being given sure and certain tiny steps to take.

    These come to us throughout our day.

    The more we pay attention to them, they will guide us to safety and health and happiness.

    Trust this fact, as it is part of the progress of wonder to which you are committed.

  • Alertness and joy

     A Year Of Joy #23 – Alertness and joy

    When we are alert to what we love to do, we feel joyous.

    This feeling prevents us from getting involved with what we do not enjoy.

    Even if we are required to do things we do not enjoy for a while, we can lift ourselves into a better quality of life.

    Because we can identify what we love to do, we can take the tiny steps to do it.

    The tiny steps add up to big steps as we become alert to take them consistently.

    We watch for openings to be excellent.

    We show up in a timely manner.

    We listen for intutive ideas from within.

    We find ways to solve problems which are creative and which provide good value.

    We are always in tune for good ideas.

    We are able to execute them and bring harmony into our teamwork.

    We are alert to opportunities to serve.

    This gives us more space to be uplifting and joyous.

    Our tiny steps can always add joy to our purpose to live well.

    We can see it happening over and over again.

    It is a wonderful feeling to be alert to joy.

    We can include it more and more consistently in everything we do.

    Sometimes we have to slow down to make room for joy

    We can watch for those opportunities as well.

    Little joys are our secret.

    We infuse them into the steps we take to become excellent.

    We know that we can repeat our joy everytime we master a new step.

    It feels good to become masterful in our abilities.

    It is a celebration.

    We can be alert to the joy which brings us into celebration.

  • Expanding Peace

    Pebbles of Peace Pathway 4.34 – Expanding Peace

    It turns out that the first step is establishing peace for myself.

    I have found out how to do that by deep breaths, quietness, and the new skill of listening within.

    The next step was, that once I could maintain the peace within or return to it consistently, I began to discover the peace without.

    Now that I have been practicing peace more and more consciously, I find that it is extending farther and farther around me.

    In fact, I don’t see an end to it.

    As far as I can see, I feel peace.

    A series of talks by author Joseph Chilton Pearce introduced me to the idea of the “torus”.

    The idea that there is a three-dimensional ring of energy which we generate around us is fascinating to me.

    I like the idea that the energy I am generating around me now is peace.

    I like the idea that I can maintain it or find it again when I need to.

    I like the idea that it is expanding around me.

    It is such a worthwhile endeavor.

    I can’t think of anything more important or fulfilling.

  • What I am discovering about myself isn’t easy, but it is good.

    Love Note 1.22 – What I am  discovering about myself isn’t easy, but it is good

    When hidden past influences come to light, it is not easy, but it is good to have them visible.

    Visible makes it possible to deal with them.

    The right tools can be found and used more and more skillfully.

    Learning to regain my balance after being thrown so far off for so long is a relief.

    I do have a right to be who I am, especially now that it is possible to discover who that is.

    There are whole sets of decisions I have never made for myself, having had them taken away from me completely.

    I am now able to look at things, sometimes for a very long time, in order to figure out how I want to proceed.

    All the groundwork that would have been laid while I was very, very young has to be connected.

    Each little thread has to be examined and its connection found.

    I am still discovering it is safe for me, but I have to be very sure.

    All the expression which was so brutally repressed is now growing tiny tendrils, testing the air, testing the environment.

    And, for the most part, it is good.

    There are still habitual bullies, but they are not pointed at me and I do not have to stay in their presence.

    I truly have a whole new world to discover, and I am so grateful to find my place in it.

  • Decorative

    Meditation Drawing 4.36 – Decorative

    Embellish.

    Add to the beauty of.

    Make additions to.

    Stand for itself.

    A decorative item has only its own value.

    It has the value of the heart which created it.

    The soul of its creator.

    The joy that guided the hands.

    The whimsey to express itself.

    The technique for shaping the idea.

    The joy in discovery for each new step.

    The happiness as the idea evolved.

    The fact that others can now see a manifested idea.

    But…no intrinsic value….?

  • Joyous purpose

      A Year Of Joy #22 – Joyous purpose

    What is it we love to do?

    How does that fulfill us?

    How do we find our purpose?

    We are guided in our search through listening within.

    This first tiny step guides us to our purpose.

    By finding the quiet joy of inner listening, we connect to our Source.
