  • Less

    Meditation Drawing 3.37 Less

    More and more, I feel less and less concern about what other people think of me.

    It has taken an enormous amount of work to realize that I exist in my own right.

    I do not exist in terms of society’s demands, although I worked to fulfill them with great persistence and commitment.

    I do not exist in terms of the values and practices and attitudes my family imposed on me.

    I do not even exist in the attitudes and opinions of the children I raised, or my employers, or my colleagues, or my friends, or people on the street.

    I simply exist.

    I am happy to exist in the terms I define for myself.

    I didn’t know I could do that, but it turns out that it is true.

    I can hold my own opinions.

    I can celebrate my own wins.

    I can take on challenges which are important to me.

    I was made wrong for so long that discovering that I am OK was a revelation.

    I do not have to consider others’ opinions of me.

    They are coming from their own viewpoints and experiences.

    I can be happy in my current form.

    I love choosing a direction to go and following it through.

    I love learning a new skill.

    I enjoy taking on a new challenge and learning what I need to complete it.

    I go at my own pace.

    I do not have to set any records.

    I am content to be the person I have discovered is me.

    Who knew?

    I am free to enjoy what I love.

    I am delighted to share what makes me happy and I hope you are doing the same.

  • Even a linear life opens up into new expression.

    Life-Path Story Mazes – #23 Even a linear life opens up into new expression.

    We may think we are taking logical steps to get to our goal.

    We take them in a methodical and faithful way.

    We are obedient and disciplined.

    And we are excellent.

    But there is something missing.

    A feeling of fulfillment is missing.

    Excellence and discipline are wonderful qualities to put into our work.

    We can advance in a very practical way.

    When we realize we need something else, we open to that possibility.

    The deep yearning for fulfillment allows us to go deeper.

    We cannot predict the answer.

    We cannot reach it in a logical manner.

    We simply yearn for it and that powerful emotion creates a different pathway.

    Our need for fulfilling expression sets a different frequency in motion.

    We are more authentic with ourselves.

    We align ourselves with our true feeling.

    This is an attracting force.

    Unexpected coincidences appear in our life.

    Different things catch our attention.

    We notice our surroundings in a new way.

    We look up.

    And finally, we look within.

    In the deep quiet of our listening attitude, something moves.

    It is a thought.

    We feel a very quiet, powerful thought.

    There is a sense of trust which we will return to again and again.

    This is the beginning of our journey.

  • Feeling

    Meditation Drawing 3.36 Feeling

    Our feeling Nature comes from the Universe Who Cares for Us.

    The beautiful feelings we have in Nature, in watching a sunset or in admiring flowers, indicate our ability to perceive things of our Higher Nature.

    We respond to tragedies with our compassionate feelings and desire to alleviate pain.

    Everything we draw on to respond comes from our feelings.

    Our tenderness, our anger, our grief and sadness, our happiness and delight.

    We live in a Universe of feelings.

    Our feelings motivate us to take compassionate action.

    We can use them to join movements to address societal needs.

    Our feelings are a barometer which guides us into a new kind of manifestation.

    Our higher feeilngs take us out of lower ones, such as hopeless and despair and resignation.

    The safest and most secure feeling is one of inner peace.

    We take our calming breath and let it permeate our entire being.

    When we move ourselves into a state of peace, we can percieve the most effective action.

    This aligns us with the Universe Who Cares for Us.

    This effective action gently moves us into a better state.

    Where the action requires great power, we have an unlimited Source.

    Todays’ feelings are drawing us into universal compassion.

    We are being empowered by our feelings to draw on greater inner resources of peace.

    We let our inner peace expand into effective action for peace around us.

    Step-by-tiny step we see the results of more communities moving themselves into peace and well-being for all who live there.

    We see the best course of action by establishing ourselves in a haven of inner peace.

    This becomes an attracting force for others who desire effective peaceful action.

    As our community compassion expands, we share it more and more widely.

    Well-being for all is achieved world-wide through this kind of progression.
