Peacefully Following Through

Pebble of Peace Pathway – Gelli Plate Art #1 –
Peacefully Following Through

Learning to go within helps establish an unfailing practice for finding answers.

Taking the steps as directed from within always fulfills the need.

When I get stuck, I am learning to go within, without fail, to find the next step.

This always gives me a peaceful solution.

Even though requirements may change daily and even hourly, I can always find the peaceful solution I seek by going within.

Since I have received my inspiration from within, it is natural that I should find the ways to share it most effectively from the same Source.

It is a comfort to know that, while I reason my way through all the possibilities, there is still only one really great answer, an answer of peace, from within.

My old path does not have to be my new path.

October 8th, 2024

Life-Path Story Mazes – #39 My old path does not have to be my new path.

As I take my first deep breath of inspiration, I take in a new idea.

I am listening for new ideas about my life.

Even though I have the same thoughts over and over every day, I can introduce a new one.

This new thought can be the beginning of a new life for me.

I can be happier and more satisfied and fulfilled in my new life.

I can approach things I do with a view for new opportunities.

I can express myself with more clarity as I carry out my present duties.

This gives me more focus on what I love to do.

I can release what I do not love by replacing it with what I love.

Since I love to be happy, I can practice being happy right where I am.

My new happienss will attract more happiness.

My new path will certainly include my new happiness becuase that is what I am looking for.

The Universe can tell I am looking for more happiness because I am expressing more happiness.

I can get my life in order beginning with my first tiny step.

As I take this tiny step and create more order for myself, the Universe will notice that I want more order.

I will be impelled and empowered to move in the direction of more order.

The order and happiness I am bringing into my present life will increase and overflow into other areas of my life.

My new path will include more beauty as I notice it around me.

I may buy myself flowers.

I may compliment someone.

I may find a way to uplift someone in conversation through appreciation for their work.

The Universe is noticing and sending me more opportunities to add beauty to my life.

My new path emerges as I continue to listen within and add more of what I want right where I am.

When I am full and overflowing with new expression, I am on my new path.

Acknowledge

Meditation Drawing 4.1 Acknowledge

I acknowledge the presence of the infinite Divine in my life.

Through inner listening I have been given the tools and techniques to overcome decades of anxiety and depression.

It is truly a gift.

From my very first Meditation Drawings, I was able to focus on a very small space as I drew repetitious lines and figures around a central word.

This broke the feeling of panic as my breath slowed down and became more deep and regular.

Later, I wrote a meditation to go with the word.

As I continue immersing myself in this process, I rarely have panic attacks, and if I do, I can address the situation right away.

My inner listening has led me to take steps along my life-path in surprising and unexpected ways.

I have learned to acknowledge my Divine connection and then to listen for Guided action.

I am led to books, workshops, and conversations with interesting people.

I have created a body of work and am led to share it.

I acknowledge the deep enrichment of my life through art expression along with writing.

I acknowledge the excellent training I have had in demanding fields and its contribution to my standards of excellence.

I acknowledge my access to color after being released from a life filtered through the color of despair.

I acknowledge my freedom to express myself in many different satisfying and joyful ways.

I acknowledge the necessity of continuing my practice of consistent inner listening.

I acknowledge the beautiful presence of supportive friends.

I acknowledge my ability to pause and rest.

I acknowledge the gift of all the discomfort and frustrations which led me to search for and find a better way.

I acknowledge Divine timing.

I am grateful for all the steps which have led to my contentment and new happiness.

Acknowledge its’ goodness, its’ perfection.

May 23rd, 2024

Pebbles of Peace Pathways 3.33 – The Highest Motives (9/17)

The highest and best power in the world is the power we have to hold one another in high esteem.

This causes us to act in the ways that most uplift ourselves and those around us.

This feeling moves outward and embraces everyone one we know and every one we don’t even know all over the planet.

It is time to begin to consider the great gift of compassion we all have to share.

Despite the narrow view we are presented through our leadership, we can maintain the best view, that of valuing and caring for one another.

It is powerful to consider our deep convictions.

When someone or some organization doesn’t live up to what we can conceive as a higher and better way to live, we can remind ourselves of the value of our viewpoint.

Put all your thought-weight into the right side of the equation.

Acknowledge its’ goodness, its’ perfection.

Acknowledge your ability to see how good and how uplifting your viewpoint is in this matter.

Don’t even argue with the present realities or how they came to be.

Feel the presence of solutions that are wonderful for everyone who lives on the planet.

These are our neighbors.

What business do any of us have to be fighting over the old resources when we have so many more to offer through our uplifted cooperation?

We are not separate. We are all One. And our welfare is in our own hands.

The Peace of Getting Things Done

March 14th, 2024

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.

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

March 12th, 2024

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.
