We see what we believe
Beliefs are the lens
Determining our vision
The physic structure we live within
Take a walk inside
Is this physic house too small
Shall we change it for a larger one
With, perhaps more windows and doors
Or perhaps we could step out of it altogether
And live here in the open
Just being
One with it all
No belief structure needed
Thoughts are mysterious
Where do they come from
Where do they go
Are they even really ours
Or are they just passing through
Some thoughts become beliefs
A bunch together make a story
Entertaining
Unless we believe every thing we think
A trap, self limiting
Do you think you are your thoughts
Do you feel the need to defend them
Are you attached to your stories
Or can you retell them a different way
Or let go of them altogether
Do the stories you tell yourself define who you are
Or do you know that you are the infinite space
In which they occur
Do you let them come and go as they will
Without identifying
You are that peace undefinable
Spacious
Thoughts are your play
Not your job.
In our busy world we often don’t take time to feel our emotions
Depression is rampant
But depression is just the result of putting a lid on feeling
The determination not to feel anything
When emotions get stuck
Numbness is the result
Normally feelings move
Like clouds across the sky
Feelings are just weather
Sometimes it’s sunny
And sometimes it rains
And sometimes there’s a big storm
And then it clears
All that is necessary to move emotions
Is to sit quietly and observe them
Let go of the story and repetitive thinking
That keeps them stuck
Just feel them purely
Breathe
Allow them to be
If there is resistance
Feel the fear
Breathe
Let it be
Unless you want to hold onto the cloudy day
The mind will clear
Hint: When you are feeling your emotions be aware of your breath. Holding your breath keeps the energy of the feeling from moving.
Gratitude leads to love
As fear drives anger
The practice of gratitude
Lifts our vibration
As anger and fear lower it
When we feel gratitude
We feel light and free
More light becomes available
No matter how dark things see
There is always something to be grateful for
One thing appreciated
Can open a crack for the light to get in
Even when all seems lost
We can be grateful we are held
By a vast and loving presence
That permeates our being
And know despite all seeming
All will be well.
Both yin and yang
Light and dark
Up and down
Round and round
You can’t have one without the other
There is no beloved without the lover
But when you are one
The two are wedded
You’re not of the world and the world is not ended
The world contains both black and white
Contain them all in your self
And remain upright
Right and wrong
Good and bad
Two sides of a coin which make a whole
To stand in the center is the goal
To ride the waves, your balance sure
Strengthen your sea legs
That’s the cure
When all around you is at sea
Stand in your truth
And let it be
When we judge something as good or bad
We are saying it shouldn’t be in our world
The price we pay is to shut off a part of ourselves
Closing our hearts to what is possible
A part of us becomes numb
But when we are open to all people and circumstances
Without judgement
We are in the moment and in touch
With our larger being, peaceful and changeless
Connected to all of life
Aligned with what is
Aligned and connected
We can then tune into discernment
Discernment is like a humming bird
It is the inner radar which is tuned to sweetness
The hummingbird doesn’t fly around judging the flowers
But feeling one with all that is
Allows the universal intelligence to guide her to the sweet flowers
We all have this radar inside of us
This compass
When we put judgments aside and listen
When we stop judging out of our past conditioning
And are willing to follow our inner compass
Beyond two dimensional judgments of good or bad
The multi dimensional universal intelligence
Will guide us to the sweetness
A feeling of inner or outer struggle is the result of resistance to what is.
The paradox is, that when you stop resisting anything
When you accept the inner and outer experience
You become unstuck
You are drawn into the natural flow of life
