A Blissful Life...Now!

AS YOU ARE NOW    THE GIFT OF CRISIS    A LOVE AFFAIR WITH THE UNIVERSE

AS YOU ARE NOW
Wishing and waiting are not using our full power, yet how common is it to be waiting for something... better health, less pain, a different size or shape, more fulfilled career, retirement, more money, when every task of the entire day is done, and so on. Do you find yourself waiting to live? Deep acceptance of ourselves, EXACTLY where we are now can be extremely freeing (and paradoxically, can be just what's needed to get out of our own way so we can make changes leading to more fulfilment). Cultivate the knowing that you are loved, empowered, and free. EACH moment is where the joy is. Make it count!

Holistic Health Tip: I once worked with a wonderful woman who would walk down the hallway swinging her hips in a full figure 8 motion. She wasn't just exercising her fabulousness and liberation -- she was onto something really powerful! How does your body want to move? What inside you wants to be free? Health author Anat Banal relays that, "Old painful patterns and movement without awareness block growth opportunities in the brain", but when we "Allow new, spontaneous and natural movements...[it] leads to clearer thinking and emotional responses, helps us move thru resistance to change, and opens more creativity in living." Try it out. If you're reading this in public, who cares who sees you? I just stopped typing on my laptop to engage in the most blissful awakening stretch and ear-to-ear grin!

Inspiration: "You needn’t be happy in your life before you start being nice to yourself. Start doing small things for yourself every day and we assure you that you’ll start thinking more highly of yourself. If you can show yourself that love, you’re going to see that love all around you. It starts with small acts of self-care." FROM POST: Esteem Fuels You Forward >>

THE GIFT OF CRISIS
When the rug is pulled out from underneath us we are forced to get out our gardening tools and start digging again, cultivating our own life and dreams. Everything that requires transformation to fully accept new energies and a higher way of living is coming to the surface for all of us. Although unwelcome and difficult, crisis can be the very thing that assists us in growing forward in more joy. Our reward is that we often transform ourselves not despite crises, but because of it. This empowering truth is reinforced in Laura Day's transformational book, Welcome to Your Crises. Whether you (or someone you know) is going through a health, relationship or economic crisis, it's full of supportive practices and moving quotes... "Through this process of moving thru crises, you'll find yourself and the key to the most wonderful life you can have!"

Holistic Health Tips:
1. Take a few moments every morning to relax into your Divine self.
2. Breathe through all your chakras. See them grow brighter and balance.
3. Do some hand-written journalling. This physical action with your hands helps get what’s inside out, freeing it from your body as well.
4. From Laura Day: As you move through crises, periodically ask yourself: Who am I? Don't be surprised if your answer changes!

Inspiration: "You let go of what doesn't serve you when you go through these crises. Do not do that in your life which feels like resistance. Do only that which, even if it seems painful to do, you know is the right thing to do for you. All transformations lead to joy, understanding, and soul growth."

A LOVE AFFAIR WITH THE UNIVERSE
Shakti Gawain beautifully writes, "As we deepen our acceptance of and open ourselves to the infinite love of the universe, a new power flows through us, releasing us from the bondage of our old way of life." When we connect with universal consciousness we can tap into all the wisdom, love, healing, and creationary power of the universe. Let go of the ego's need to do it all, and embrace your wholeness and oneness with the most incredible resource bank available! Pure bliss resides here...and you are part of it. The world is our beloved.

Holistic Health Tip: Creative visualization and affirmations during meditation can work wonders in our bodies and in balancing our mind, emotions, and spirit. I share this simple and beautiful meditation from A Woman’s Book of Meditation. It's described as a "meditation for love without attachment, for kindness, forgiveness, sweetness, and knowing that God is within you." That sure sounds like bliss to me...and by the way, men will enjoy it too! READ MORE: Blissful Meditation >>

Inspiration: "You are beautiful souls, and one-by-one you are transforming. One-by-one you are becoming more whole and will inherit the Earth. This is living in accordance with spiritual and natural laws -- inheriting the Earth is experiencing the beauty and the truth of all that is around you on the Earth plane."
