We are seeing a lot of reprehensible actions and behaviors that have been thriving in the shadows suddenly being forced into the daylight. Whether it is our politicians, our media figures, or our titans of industry, it appears the jig is up. Some feel that everything is falling apart because of this, but I see it slightly differently. I see it as part of our growth and evolution in consciousness. I see it as a good thing – a necessary…..
We can’t change what we refuse to acknowledge, and we must acknowledge that violence has become a cancer on our country. To keep pretending that violence has not become a constant companion to humanity is allowing the cancer to become malignant. As Americans, we must own the truth, and as “spiritually awakening” individuals, we must take responsibility for our part in the glorifying and normalizing of violence. Why is it our movies are some of the most violent…..
I am watching the divide happening in our world and the instigators of this divide practicing an ancient but reliable form of control: Divide and Conquer. Now we all know this method of war from school but what about how it is being played out within ourselves? What you see playing in the outer world always is being played out in our inner world as well. How many times have you had a dream that…..
When someone says, “people don’t change,” what they are really saying is “I don’t and will never change (and you can’t make me).”. The truth is people do change –all the time. Unfortunately, the change is often not noticed because it is more of a deepening of their rigid beliefs and behaviors rather than a change that opens them up to a new perspective and new possibilities. The snotty, bratty kid grows up to be the grumpy, contentious old person……
On the road to SELF-LOVE, you will rediscover many gifts that you may have forgotten you possessed. One of these gifts is the ability to play and laugh. A sacred energy much needed at this time in our world. Nothing can lift a mood or bring people together quicker than playing and laughing together. When is the last time you looked at play and laughter as sacred and included it as part of your daily practice of growth and awareness?…..
If you are working on moving into Self-Love, start with what you are listening to! We all have inner voices or thoughts constantly flowing through our minds. Much like a radio station or channel we choose to listen to, we choose which voices or thoughts we give our attention to moment by moment. If you are listening to a program that makes you fearful or depressed, most sane people would simply change channels. So why don’t we do that with our…..
We have been told who the enemies are for the past few years loud and clear. It’s the left. It’s the right. It is the press which is the enemy of the people because they are all bad. It’s the traditional government officials because they are useless. It’s the Whites. It’s the Blacks. It’s the Hispanics or the Immigrants who can’t be trusted. These are the enemies, and we must fight them at all cost. Hurricane Harvey mirrored…..
Time to quit shaming people for not waking up on your schedule. It is hard not to lose your way with all the heated rhetoric. Yes, you must stand up for what you feel is morally good and loving. But what happens to that good and loving stance when you meet someone who was slow to come around? I watched different panels on TV berate a young man who had had the courage to admit he had made a mistake…..
How well do you really know yourself? “Living authentically” or “living my best version” has become a catch phrase in our culture. These ideas are no longer relegated to those of us in the new age or new spiritual- thought movements. The concept has gone mainstream. I can’t tell you how many ads I see playing on this idea. Live your best self, BUY this and it will get you there. I hear it often used by people on TV…..
How good are you at imagining the worst-case scenarios? How good are you at using your emotions to build up fear or anger or despair? How good are you are at reinforcing the very beliefs that keep you and your dreams in a small box? There is nothing magical about how we create our lives. When we combine imagination with intense emotion backed by a supporting belief, we naturally draw the experiences into our lives that match that vibration. So whether…..
