  • Comfort of feeling safe

    Comfort #11 – Comfort of being safe.

    We all treasure the comfort of being safe.

    We treasure the feeling of being safe in mind, body and spirit.

    Sometimes we are driven to provide good experiences for others.

    We want them to feel safe and loved.

    Our ability to envision comfort and safety comes from the experiences which we value of feeling comforted and safe.

    I value being read to and reading to my children.

    I value singing to my classes of very young chidren.

    I value taking walks in Nature.

    I value listening to the sounds of the wind in the trees and the smell of incoming rain.

    The moments of quiet and peace give us comfort.

    We can share that comfort by letting our peace extend into the atmosphere aorund us.

    We can provide peace by not pressuring ourselves and not rushing.

    We can provide peace and comfort by an orderly routine which includes eveyone doing their part.

    Safety comes from balance.

    When everyone is doing their part, no one is overtaxed.

    We all know that what needs to be done is getting done through everyone’s contribution.

    We are safe in that provision.

    Our bodies are safe when we provide for them.

    Our orderly routine provides for our bodies.

    We know how to be safe by providing good nutrition.

    We now how to be safe by being active.

    When we take the steps to create safety, we maintain the frequency of safety.

    We create our own safety in ways in which it overflows into the lives of others, and they do the same for us.

  • The Peace of Getting Things Done

    Pebbles of Peace Pathways 3.22 – The Peace of Getting Things Done

    Things do not always get done in a particular order, but they get done in a certain order.

    When I let my list make its own priorities, it makes me happier.

    I have the habit of setting my priorities the way I always used to.

    But it is better this way.

    I started a list, to make sure I didn’t leave anything out.

    I checked ingredients for cooking.

    I collected books on my list to read.

    I knitted a little.

    And then, taking a break, I just let the thoughts of love and self-appreciation fill me.

    I let go of my plans.

    Other things have come first.

    And it is all getting done.

    In the best way, with true first things first.

  • Comfort of focusing on good. (Repost with full meditation)

    Comfort #10 – Comfort of focusing on good.

    Focusing on good lifts us into the frequency of good.

    It is our desired place to be.

    Focusing on good allows it to spread everywhere.

    It becomes unlimited as we watch how far it can go.

    The good at our core comes from our divine connection.

    Whatever we look at, receives the good coming from Source.

    Our embrace of good lets it expand in our lives.

    It allows it to overflow in every direction.

    We also receive good from the overflow of others who focus on good at their core.

    With overlap of good outflowing to everyone, we lift ourselves into a new sense of community.

    We see good in everyone, becuase we recognize it in ourselves.

    We see ways of sharing good by unlimiting our view.

    We create connection through the good we share.

    We see ways of utilizing the skills of everyone through training and through application.

    Whatever needs doing in our community has the resources to be done.

    No one is ever excluded because they have good at their core which desires to be expressed.

    The desire we have focuses our direction.

    We are able to take each step with the goal in mind.

    We cannot rush.

    We cannot delay.

    The good the goal will accomplish is what draws us to it.

    It has an attracting force for everyone who will benefit.

    Good comes in many tiny steps which create a wonderful atmosphere for everyone.

    We are all capable of taking tiny steps.

    The good we focus on carries us forward.

  • (Repost of Pebbles of Peace Pathways 3.22 with full meditation) – Reflection

    Pebbles of Peace Pathways 3.22 – Reflection –

    One of the things I am able to do when I slow down is to reflect.

    It is a peaceful occupation, and allows me to digest and sort out the day’s events.

    At the opposite end of the spectrum is the making of lists and crossing off items as they get done.

    Both are useful, but I usually reap only the benefits of list-making.

    Reflection is a gentle way of preparing for or recounting the day.

    It lets me include a meditation which sets me up for listening.

    That prepares me for how the day is to go, as well as what it will include.

    Some items which were on my list get taken off.  Others come to mind.

    Reflection lets all proceed in an orderly and calm way.

    Things quite often get done much faster and then there is more time for reflection along the way or at the end of the day.

    A different quality of life is able to permeate my being.

    I feel more relaxed and as though the day is under better control with reflection.

  • (Repost with full Life-Path Story-Maze meditation.) Ideas explode into light along my life-path.

    Life-Path Story Maze #10 – Ideas explode into light along my life-path.

    When I am aligned along my life-path, I especially encounter wonderful ideas.

    I am so happy, I feel ideas swirling around me to get my attention.

    Beautiful colors, shapes, motion, a dance.

    I am confident, standing up straight, striding along my life-path.

    I see myself in my most delightful connection.

    I see everyone in their most delightful connection.

    There are smiles all around.

    We are all connecting to our wonderful ideas.

    In my wonderful solitude and aloneness, I can hear and feel the presence of the wonderful ideas which inspire me.

    I see them in the next turn, in the color of the wild flowers, in the immense and varied shapes of leaves.

    I feel them in the sunshine, behind the  clouds, in the raindrops, hiding in the fog.

    They are on riverbanks, in cobblestones, along curbs, right in the middle of the path.

    Sometimes they are so thick and fast, they are bumping into each other, building up on top of each other.

    I grab at them with my pen, writing madly.

    Other times, I sit contemplative, watching them drift by, snagging one here and there, until it lands on my page and lights it up.

    I do so love playing with ideas.

    They are so darling and precious to me.

    I love that they are so abundant.

    It is because I habitually listen within.

    They know they are  expected.

    They know there is room for them.

    They know I am expecting them to come and play.

    They know we are best friends.

  • Comfort of focusing on good.

    Comfort #10 – Comfort of focusing on good.

    We can focus on good to redirect our life to include more good.

    We do not succumb to the addictive habit of looking at the past.

    As we build in more experiences of good, we create a tapestry.

    Our life expresses more beauty and becomes more uplifting.

    I have not drawn the pebbles because the meditation and the quote from it are on my computer, which is still in the shop. I will add the rest of the drawing when I get it back.
