• I take the next step along my life path.

    Life-Path Story Maze #1 –

     I take the next step along my life-path.

    My life-path evolves step by step.

    When I am unsure of my path, I listen within.

    The message that comes to me is in the deep peace of quiet listening.

    All day, I can continue to receive the messages which guide my steps.

    Here I am.

    What is the next step?

    I am Guided from within.

    Perhaps, the message is to wait patiently.

    Perhaps the message is to take a tiny step.

    Step by step, my life-path is revealed to me.

    I may be quite far along my life-path before I realize the shape it is taking.

    Only from the perspective of much listening and acting is it even visible.

    The uncertainty which caused me to listen within has changed to sure Guidance.

    I approach my day differently.

    I can see that I have a connection to the Divine.

    That certainty changes things.

    I have a direction from within.

    I am not motivated by outward things.

    My sole goal is not to accumulate; it is to express.

    What is it that I am to express?

    Gentleness and kindness in everything.

    I must be gentle and kind to myself before I can express it authentically to others.

    I build my path on gentleness and kindness.

    Each tiny step increases the gentleness and kindness in the world.

    By listening within, I am worthy as I take my next step.

  • More inner peace

    Loved Cherished Adored –

    More Inner Peace

    The peace we are seeking comes from within.

    It is always available to us as we listen for it.

    It is not connected to what is around us.

    It does not happen through following the directives from outside our heart.

    We are all impelled from within to find what is most satisfying.

    This is the gift we have to offer.

    This is the feeling we want to maintain for ourselves.

    This is the feeling which surrounds us and which uplifts those who tune into it.

    Our inner peace is the most valuable gift we have to offer.

    It lets us think clearly.

    It lets us convey ideas effectively.

    It lets us live with conviction.

    It lets us change our circumstances.

    We are most attracted to what is lovely in our life.

    Our inner peace lets us spend more time there.

    We are able to convey this peace through our daily actions.

    We are able to live in harmony with our improved circumstances.

    We are able to live a completely different life freed from fear or limitation.

    There are no limitations on the inner peace which we can learn to cultivate.

    We can express it in every step we take as it becomes more of a practice.

    We become more sure of ourselves and live with confidence.

    We share our wealth of confidence.

    We live without dread even in changing times.

    There is always an answer through inner listening.

    This is how we share our inspiration and peace.

  • Gifts for the World

    Shared Global Vision-

    Gifts for the World

    Our best gift for the world is the peace we bring into it.

    We first become aware of the peace we can create for ourselves and for our household.

    We add to the peace at work.

    We maintain our peace by being aware of it wherever we go.

    We move ourselves into a peaceful state while we are waiting in traffic, in line, or at a child’s school event.

    We take our deep breath and listen within.

    Peace becomes a state we can access at any time.

    We can be careful of how we listen to the news.

    Are we listening to uplifting solutions or to disturbing messages?

    Which do we want to let into our life?

    We diffuse the effects of agitating news by refusing to let it into our life.

    We are not interested in agitation, we are interested in peace.

    There are so many organizations which are uplifting people throughout our city.

    We can participate in uplifting action.

    There are so many organizations which are contributing to uplifting  people all over the world.

    We can become aware of these and support them.

    Our place in the world is determined by the peace we actively engage in.

    We stop the unconscious rampage of agitation and disturbances by refusing to participate in the feeling they spread.

    We  spread a feeling of peace all around us through our patience and generosity of attitude.

    We respect the fact that everyone is going through challenges.

    We support the ways that we can all deal with our challenges peacefully.

    We are grateful to have the contrast in our life which tells us we have become more aware of peace.

    This means we are filtering out what does not belong to us.  Instead, we are adding to the peace.

  • Gifts for the home

    Young Persons Mentor/Uplifted Parenting –

    Gifts for the Home

    Gifts for the home arrive through our respectful and loving treatment of each other.

    As a practice, this gives us the peace we need to live together harmoniously.

    Each time we choose to speak courteously, we invoke this peace.

    By setting up routines for chores, we maintain orderly surroundings.

    This creates a peaceful home to live in.

    As we maintain the peace in our home, we  add to the peace in the world.

    Even when we bring the agitations of the world back home,  we can diffuse their effects by the comfort of our gift of peace to ourselves.

    Eating nutritious, satisfying food calms our bodies.

    Preparing our food in community with each other offers time for informal exchange as work is shared.

    These shared moments of input allow us to understand what our family members are dealing with.

    We can simply listen in a supportive manner.

    As problems arise, we can listen within before addressing solutions from our own experiences.

    New problems arise in new contexts.

    A different solution may come to mind as we all calm ourselves to listen within.

    Getting a lot of things done quickly every day feels necessary.

    Prioritizing restful times as part of the routines will help address the pressures which build up.

    Day-to-day, moment-to-moment peace allows us to move harmoniously between events.

    Peace becomes the standard.

    It becomes the way we approach our life and the way we present life to our household.

    This is the best gift we can provide.

    Being rested and getting the support we need, allows us to run a harmonious household.

    We can remain alert to the needs of every member and listen within for how to best address them.

  • How to use my gifts

    Your Diamond Mind –

    How to Use My Gifts

    My gifts come to me constantly, and when listen within, I can hear them.

    Once I feel their presence, I continue listening to know what to do.

    My action is based on a listening attitude.

    Each gift is a new view of myself and of the world.

    It shows me the possibilities through kindness and other uplifting values.

    We each have gifts which come from within.

    We are guided in how to use them as we acknowledge them.

    We can take our tiny steps of expression to accomplish what is important to us.

    We discover our strength and courage as we take our tiny steps.

    We are here to uplift and to be uplifted.

    As we each become inspired and share our gifts, we create a sense of stability and value in our communities.

    We see others the way we see ourselves.

    We see how precious and skillful and delightful we are.

    We see how we all contribute as we create the kind of community we want to live in.

    We expand our individual gifts into community-wide projects.

    We are where we belong.

    Others are empowered to contribute their gifts.

    There is a feeling of happiness and generosity.

    Everyone feels their power as they contribute to a common purpose.

    Creating places which allow us to come together to converse and to share ideas allows the community to grow in inclusive ways.

    We all have a desire to be part of something good.

    We all have gifts which make it better for all  of us.

    We can all encourage each other when we interact daily in uplifting ways.

    This is the community we want to live in.

  • Peaceful Gifts

    Pebbles of Peace –

    Peaceful Gifts

    Peaceful gifts show up when they are most needed.

    Our gift is to recognize this and tune into their arrival.

    We can expect the arrival of peace by turning away from disturbances and listening within.

    There is always a message of peace, once we let the noise of the day pass over us.

    We sit quietly until we feel ourselves relax.

    As we release the tension in our body, we release the tension in our mind.

    Our peaceful mind reminds us that all is well, that there is a Source for wellness.

    We can choose the Source for wellness and receive Its’ gifts.

    We are ready to receive gifts of peaceful solutions.

    We sense the next effective step for our project.

    We find the best route across town.

    We connect with the expert for our field.

    Surprising and unexpected things occur which move us forward.

    We reference the feeling of peace when this happens.

    We build an expectation for peaceful solutions.

    We sit quietly and wait for the answer to come to us.

    It is always there.

    Our acceptance of this fact shows that we are aware of our Source.

    We are willing to trust the solutions to appear in a timely manner.

    We live a life of greater ease and less tension.

    Finally, we learn to release tension as a practice, while we wait for the solution.

    We find what we are looking for.

    We accept the innovative idea from a teammate.

    We are alerted to an unusual source for supply of the materials we need.

    Whatever we need appears in peace.
