  • 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.
