“There is a force in the universe which if we permit it will flow through us and produce miraculous results.” — Mahatma Gandhi To support the global transformation to universal love, we must first transform ourselves and our relationships. We can do this by raising our consciousness to the vibration of love and radiating it at every moment to all of life with no expectations or attachments. This involves being responsible for our choices, healing ourselves, helping others heal, and living consciously and harmoniously. We radiate love when we open our hearts to ourselves, other people, and life itself. Energetically, light moves through … [Read more...]
Holding the Space of Love Dissolves Negativity
“Your entire life has unfolded for your heart's ascension to love.” ~ Bryant McGillTo facilitate a shift in our current consciousness, we must transcend fear, anger, and negativity, and ascend to the soul of love. We can do this by learning how to avoid reacting from these emotions, and instead connect to a higher power or divine source (whatever that means to us) through our hearts.Like a periscope in a submarine, we must lift our gaze out of the shadowy aspects of human consciousness and obtain a more elevated, spiritual perspective. We must be clear that we are, first and foremost, spiritual beings navigating the sea of human processes, … [Read more...]
5 Ways to Invite in Love and Connection
“You have to love yourself because no amount of love from others is enough to fill the yearning that your soul requires from you.” — DodinskyInviting love into our being allows us to experience our sacred connection to others and to humanity as a whole. When we are born, we temporarily forget our divine magnificence; consequently, we spend much of our lives trying to remember who we are. Before we uncover that remembrance, we spend much of our time and energy seeking out the inner connection which we crave on a soul level without even really understanding why. In other words, even before we remember what love really is, and where it comes … [Read more...]
Being Vulnerable Opens Us to Being Love
“One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life; the word is love.”—SophoclesThe more we lean into our vulnerabilities, the more open we become to love. The areas of our lives in which we feel most vulnerable are health, relationships, and finances. Whether or not we had a healthy and loving childhood, we all experience some form of emotional pain as a reflection of the human condition. Our subsequent pain, when left unresolved, keeps us living in habitual, protective ways and inhibits us from co-creating a fulfilling and happy life.Leaning into our vulnerabilities requires spending time alone so we can confront the source of those … [Read more...]
Stepping Out of the Shadows of Shame
Disconnecting from ourselves early in life is often prompted by feelings of shame. Researcher and author Brené Brown identifies shame as the “intensely painful feeling or experience of believing that we are flawed and, therefore, unworthy of love and belonging.” Throughout our lives, we absorb shame messages, such as, “I’m unlovable,” “I’m not good enough,” or “I’m unworthy of love.” Doubting our worthiness to be loved and not wanting to feel the shame of our lovelessness, we often disconnect from ourselves and others.Wearing this cloak of shame keeps us from knowing the divine essence of who we are and being connected. It makes us feel … [Read more...]
Having Courage of Heart
Courage comes from the Latin word cor, which means “heart.” Courage sources deep within our hearts as self-acceptance and compassion. It encourages us to engage in every life situation no matter how scary as an opportunity for spiritual transformation.To be courageous is to lead with your heart, and reveal your truth―your inner thoughts, feelings, and experiences―honestly and openly. It dares you to fully express who you are as love.When you express yourself as love, you venture into the unknown territory of your own being. Being courageous doesn’t necessarily mean performing feats of external bravery and strength, but rather acknowledging … [Read more...]
5 Ways to Live with Passion and Purpose
When we listen to our hearts, we live with passion and purpose. We feel a sense of alignment with our soul’s journey. We realize that full self-expression is greater than the job we do, the roles we play, or how successful we are in the world. Instead, full self-expression is being on purpose in every moment no matter what we are doing, where we are, or who we are with.Individuals who have shared such energy know that nothing is more important than engaging in something with those you love. Meraki is a Greek word often used to describe what happens when you leave your energetic signature—your soul, creativity, or love in your work. It … [Read more...]
Disengaging From Negative Energy
Establishing healthy energetic boundaries with family members, friends, associates, coworkers, and even strangers is important in disengaging from negative energy. Some highly sensitive individuals struggle to keep their energy from bleeding into the energy fields of people around them, or strive to prevent other people’s energy from infiltrating their energy field. If there are toxic people around us on a consistent basis, and we are allowing their negativity to affect us within—like a slow moving infection—this alone can bring on disease by weakening our defenses. Even if the negative energy created by others in our lives is at a very low … [Read more...]
The Healing Power of Love
There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief and unspeakable love--Washington IrvingDespite the pain it elicits, loss shows us the healing power of love. It teaches us about the delicate balance, intensity, and richness of life and above all, provides the greatest opportunity for transformation. Loss is bittersweet for we cannot experience the pain of loss without first having experienced the joys associated with what has been lost. The heartbreak that wounds us most deeply eventually leads us to greater … [Read more...]
Don’t Worry Be Happy: 10 Ways to Boost Your Well-Being
"There is no way to happiness, happiness is the way." ~ Thich Nhat Hhan Many of us feel that the pursuit of happiness is elusive and unattainable. We think if we just had the right job, relationship, or an abundance of money that then we would be happy. Yet, contrary to this popular belief, happiness is a state of being-wellbeing that is within our grasp. And, we have always had the power to create it in our lives. We have known this internal power as children when we played in the puddles after a warm rain, chased after fireflies in the summer, or built forts or fairy alters in our yards. Sustaining a flow of happiness takes the … [Read more...]
