  • Even the tedious details of my life are creating part of my life-foundation.

    Life-Path Story Mazes – #27 Even the tedious details of my life are creating part of my life-foundation.

    So many tiny repetitions of the same old thing.

    It looks like nothing new is happening.

    But what is our desire?

    What is our intention?

    Are we placing that element into what we are doing?

    When we open ourselves to the world of possibilities and ask to be shown how they can impact our life, we bring them into our day.

    Even the tiny repetitious details become empowered with our uplifted desire.

    We can find new ways of doing the simplest things which add to the harmony of our day and of our work.

    Our uplifted attitude changes the atmosphere of our workplace.

    Other people feel the difference when we add our energy of expectation to the day.

    At home, we can find new ways of organizing through routines.

    That allows us to have much more room for innovative and fun ideas.

    We are able to include the whole household into the new routines which free up everybody’s time.

    Our new efficiencies allow us to plan for fun events.

    We have more time to spend in our communities.

    We are able to spend time daydreaming our desires into manifestation.

    We are able to empower ourselves by taking our tiny steps.

    The tiny steps are never routine, but routines create room for more tiny steps.

    A new spark appears in our life.

    It flickers and twinkles amidst the tedious details.

    It draws our attention.

    It creates a feeling of possibilities.

    The tiny spark has the power to redirect an entire life-path.

  • Initiative

    Meditation Drawing 3.40  – Initiative

    Taking the initiative in action begins with listening within.

    This lets the Universe know that I am open to Guidance.

    This daily habit gives me the first tiny step to begin.

    Even though I have lots of ideas, the ones to follow through on are the ones which connect me to divine Guidance.

    When I take the initiative to be happy and to maintain my happiness, I find myself  connecting with exactly what I need.

    Often, it takes me in a new direction.

    It releases me from worry and concern.

    I move in a forward direction, and do not depend on past experiences and results.

    Each step requires new listening.

    That is my decision.

    I must take the initiative to open the channels of communion.

    Then, I must take the initiative to take the tiny steps.

    I love the new way my life is unfolding.

    I love how I can turn to happiness more and more readily as a foundation for my day.

    Instead of following the programming I was given, I am open to new approaches.

    I love the new results that are showing up.

    Taking the initiative for a new look and new life-practices is astounding!

    The Infinite Universe has much more than my most expanded view could ever imagine.

    I am grateful to know that I aam in  Its’ care.

    I am grateful to know that I am worthy to receive wonderful ideas to share.

    I am grateful to take the initiative to share them.

  • Comfort of intuition

    Comfort #26 Comfort of intuition

    I know that when I need to know something, I can find the answer through intuition.

    Even though the answer may feel just out of my reach, I can quiet myself.

    When I feel the presence of an idea, I know that it has come through intuition.

    Answers through intuition are so specific, they do not require refinement.

    The key is to keep listening, not to jump into action.

    When the feeling of peace is so full, and overflowing, then it is time to act.

    I act in complete peace and trust and confidence when I act from intuition.

    There is an ethereal feeling to it.

    The answer just appears, but in a very tangible way.

    My job is to discern and listen.

    I catch the thread, the whisper of an idea, and I let it grow stronger.

    When it has grown strong enough, matured, it is time to act.

    Often, several ideas move into place at the same time.

    Each one has been nurtured and kept in a quiet and safe place while it matures.

    It is not necessary to talk about the ideas.

    Receiving them through intuition is the way they come.

    Sharing them in tangible ways is how they appear to others.

    Until it is time to share them, they are growing in consciousness.

    I delight in them.

    I love them.

    I care for them.

    I nurture them.

    Then, at the right time, they are ready to take on their work.

    They add their light and inspiration to the world.

    Those who are best suited to receive them, see them and feel their impact.

    It is through their intuition.

  • Although it looks like many things are the same, subtle shifts are happening.

    Life-Path Story Mazes – #26 Although it looks like many things are the same, subtle shifts are happening.

    It takes many repetitions to form new habits.

    In music and in sports, we have to practice skills over an over again to instill the new muscle movements which allow us to achieve more.

    Sometimes it feels as though we are not making any progress at all.

    And then, one day, the whole operation comes together and we can perform the new  skill.

    It looks like it happened over night.

    But it did not.

    The foundation was being built, first by the desire, then by the implementation, of what was needed.

    That is how we see our new achievements occur.

    We take our tiny steps.

    We  practice.

    And we trust.

    The growth is happening even though we may not be able to see it.

    We can feel the purity of our desire.

    We can feel the power of our intention.

    And we can demonstrate our commitment by showing up and doing the work.

    Then we see the concrete results.

    It always happens.

    It is a dependable combination moving from thought to action.

    Our desire and motivation move us forward.

    Our action makes it real.

    Then, we see that the shift we have been working for has actually taken place.

    There are many ingredients which go into every achievement.

    We draw all that is needed into our life when we begin the process through desire and follow it with consistent action.

  • Meditation Drawing 3.39 Normal 

    Meditation Drawing 3.39 – Normal

    Let our normal behavior be full of kindness.

    When we are in our right mind, we are naturally kind.

    When we are frustrated and exhausted and angry, our tempers are  short.

    With a generation of poor nutrition and family pressures, our bodies and our society are out of balance.

    As we pause and take a deep breath, we can begin the process of reinstating calm in our lives.

    It is natural to be calm.

    When we are calm, we can make good choices.

    We can notice where things are out of proportion and we can take steps to put them back.

    Our calm, clear thinking lets us evaluate where our food comes from.

    Historically, food came from local sources.

    Even during World War II, people grew their own food in Victory Gardens.

    There is plenty of of lawn space to grow food.

    Historically, people worked close to home.

    Adults and children came home for lunch.

    There are so many opportunities to work “remotely”, i.e., from home.

    It is interesting now that the term “remote”  refers to being away from the office.

    With fewer pressures on transportation to work, many people can enjoy a more relaxed pace of life.

    We have gradually moved away from spending time with our families to spending time away from them.

    We can move back to precious family time.

    We are most fulfilled by spending time with those we love.

    When we are not under so much pressure for school activities, we can spend more time together.

    Kind attention to each other lifts off pressure and frustration from neglect.

    It is normal for our time together to be nurturing and kind.

  • Comfort of discernment.

    Comfort #25 – Comfort of discernment.

    Beyond the five senses, there is a feeling of intuition.

    I love being able to move into a place of quiet, inner listening.

    I love being able to receive a message through discernment.

    It is a persistent, gentle feeling of presence.

    In it, I know what to do.

    Discerning where I need to be is a great comfort.

    Discerning when to take action comes with certainty.

    Receiving a message of deep spiritual meaning happens through discernment.

    It takes a persistent quiet to signal my commitment to listening.

    Then the Universe knows I am ready to receive the message it has for me.

    It is a subtle feeling, but becomes easier to recognize through practice.

    Our intuition and our discernment come from the same place.

    It is how the Infinite identifies us.

    When we identify ourselves in that way, we establish our connection to the Infinite.

    We discern our relationship to our Higher Power.

    We train ourselves to recognize divine Presence by persistent, commited listening within.

    The comfort of daily, consistent practice assures us that we are able to discern how our needs are being supplied.

    We see them manifested in practical, effective and timely ways.

    Living in the comfort of discernment inspires others to listen within.

    Discernment is a practical resource which is always available through listening within.
