You see what you look for. What do you want?

3/25/2015

What do you want in life? Happiness? Knowledge? Goodness? Prosperity? Love?
How do you increase, invite, promote the MORE that you're seeking?

Ask for it. That could look like a prayer, or advice from a friend or mentor.
Have a clear intention. You have to name it to claim it. Be clear what you want and understand the why you want it.
Look for it. Keep your eyes open and see where the opportunities are for more goodness, kindness, knowledge, prosperity, health.
Acknowledge when you see it. Express gratitude! Take a moment to appreciate that the more you want is increasing.
Take action. Be willing to take a step toward the thing you desire. It might be a class or an email search, a phone call or a break.

You see what you look for. If your radar is up for beauty, you'll see beauty all around you. If you're looking for opportunity, doors will appear. You may need to knock on those doors to enter. What has value will take effort and intention. If you're looking for peace, you'll find the path.

The power of "NO." Saying "no" to what you don't want is a really important aspect creating the space and energy to say "yes" to what you do want. Everyone falls, but with clarity and commitment, you will always have the strength to get up again.

"What you seek is seeking you." What you want will show up. May you be blessed with the courage to step forward toward your heart's desires.

Handling Life

12/8/2014

Our hands are such an important part of our daily life. We eat, clean, caress, and play using our hands. Our hands get us in through doors and out of messes. We can use our hands to communicate and our hands protect us.

There are those that say a map of your body is in your hands. (I remember learning a technique years ago for getting rid of headaches by pressing points on the hands.) The hands can even be a metaphor for how you're "handling" issues or life.

Your hands are a simple and profound place to be kind to yourself. Small actions can have profound effects.

Janine Cheung of HealthyBalancedBody.com shares how holding fingers can bring balance:

"You can hold your Thumb to balance Worry (so many babies suck their thumbs, showing that they are worried, or have tummy/digestive problems);
Hold your Index Finger to balance Fear, or help a sore back;
Hold your Middle Finger to balance Anger;
Hold your Ring Finger to balance Grief or Sadness (and to help you breath;)
Hold your Little Finger when you're stuck in trying-too-hard mode (running around taking care of everyone else, but yourself) or Pretense (laughing on the outside, but crying on the inside.)"

One of my personal self nurturing techniques is to lovingly apply hand cream. I keep hand cream next to my bed, in my desk drawer, in the kitchen, and in my purse. You can use a lovely cold pressed coconut or sesame oil as a hand softener. I use those (or olive oil) in the kitchen when I'm doing a lot of food preparation so that if it gets into any of the food, it's edible and clean.

Having the "intention" of taking care of yourself as you take any small, nurturing action will deepen the peace it brings.

May your path always be smooth and fragrant. May you handle things with grace and clarity. May you always have the strength to lend a hand, and to have the courage to take a hand. May you put your hands together in joy and appreciation. May you know when to let go, and when to open your hands to receive. May your heart help you to quietly hold someone's hand... or your own!

Lighten Up When You Let Go

7/10/2013

Can you hear the angels singing? Ahhhhhh..... The Heavenly Choir announcing your enlightenment. But really, what does it mean to be enlightened? I'm not talking about spiritually, but then again, it's all connected. When you are "enlightened" in one area, it does effect your spirit, and even your health.

So what is enlightened? It's that Ah-Ha moment when you understand the joke you didn't get at first. Or the moment when you realize that the very thing that irritates you about the lady who bugs you is the exact reflection of yourself--and now you can finally forgive and embrace the situation. Enlightenment is that glorious moment of insight when you learn some small thing or something major. It doesn't have to be about drama. It means you "see" or understand something and it makes your life lighter.

It is an ongoing process. If you are still alive (silly me, you're here reading this), you have the opportunity for new insights over and over and over again. Even right now. Yes, right this second you can choose it. Are you choosing light filled? What color is the light you want to fill up with? What a liberating process it is to let go of what is unclear and not working, and stepping into what is clear.

Deepening your self knowledge and joy are worth seeking. Find the beauty of where you are right now. (One way to tap into that is through gratitude--even if you are grateful to know more clearly about what you want to actively create in your world.)

Sunbathe in the Light. Let it fill you up metaphorically and physically (yay vitamin D). Dance with the light. Know that shadows are part of life too. And remember, you are also light. Radiate and shine because you really make a difference. I'm so glad you're here.

You are a gem

You are a diamond.

OK, so you have flaws. That is not the main thing about you, it's only the thing that makes you unique in all the world.

Diamonds are made from intense pressure. That means that all the hard times you've had in your life only make you all the more precious.

Life provides the pressure, you get to create the shape and shine.

So shine. Shine quietly or shine out loud, what ever your style, you are a precious gem and you do light up this world.

Small Things Matter

2/4/2013

Each small act you do has the potential to ripple out into the world and the lives of others--and to ripple in to effect your own personal world. You matter. What you think matters. What you say matters. What you do matters. The expression on your face can hurt or heal or elevate.

Being conscious about what you want your life to be about will help you create that. It may seem like a small thing but know that small actions over and over and over again become something very powerful. You know the story of the stream that drips one drop at a time on a rock can bore a hole into that rock. So too each small action makes an impact. Just being here on this blog is a prayer of sorts, of seeking to be that wonderful, quiet (or large) impact on life.

Your very being brings light into this world so don't be afraid to shine and ripple out--and in--with the essence of you in all your glorious (and yes imperfect humanity) but oh so perfect light.

Laughter is good medicine. Books have been written about how laughter can heal. Laughter can heal. If "you see what you look for" how about looking for things that make you smile and even laugh?

What makes you laugh? Are you open to new possibilities?

If this made you smile, or even think that smiling is a good idea,

How Full is Your Cup?

7/26/2012

Is it half full or half empty? Or, is it overflowing?

It's a natural thing for women to give and give. The thing is, it's really important to give from a place of fullness and not a place of depletion. Giving when you feel depleted is a recipe for heartache and feeling used.

So it's about balance. You must eat in order to have the energy to serve others. Remember when you travel by plane that each and every time you're reminded that if there's a need for oxygen masks, you need to put yours on first. If you pass out from no oxygen, you can't help anyone and you're just left hurting. So, here's the place to put on your oxygen mask. Here's the place to remember who you are. Here's the place to remember your feminine power and all the beauty that entails.

Start with a deep, oxygen rich, joy filled breath. Here we go!
