A Potential Way Forward for You

There is a practice going on within me that I would like to share with you.

It has multiple components, but they are all very simple. Together, they transform the Self.

The first is physical. Bring the divine that you are, meaning the unconditional love that you are, into the soles of your feet on a regular basis... whenever you think of it, whenever you become aware of your feet.

The second is emotional. Radiate from your heart unconditional love for all that you experience, both within yourself and outside of yourself.

The third is mental. Be here and now. Whenever you find yourself projecting back into the past or forward into the future, just bring yourself back to here and now.

Other aspects of this practice are to slow yourself down so that you can sense the rhythm of the Universe... by slowing your self down, quieting your mind and feeling for it, you will feel it. It is quite slow... like our breath when we are meditating... or our being fully present for a friend, as that friend is trying to come through with the words to say something really difficult to express.... it is mindful presence.... very slow. When you do this, you will feel the rhythm of the universe. When you align yourself with that rhythm, you will experience divine grace.

Within that slow universal rhythm, you can ask yourself the question: What is true for me now?

And the practice becomes the journey. Wondrous grace and joy unfold from this practice. By aligning ourselves physically, emotionally and mentally in this way, and then slowing ourselves to the rhythm of the Universe, we realize profoundly that we don't want or need anything to change. We surrender into what is and this changes everything for us.

Being in Your Truth

I was talking with my husband. He is not one who believes, as I do, in the unconditional love that is sweeping our world, in the golden light that is flooding our cells.

I was speaking with him and I suddenly felt the imperative to speak my truth to him. I knew that he wasn't very receptive to these kinds of words. I knew that he didn't particularly want me to speak of these things, things like love and honouring of all people.

My husband and I get along really well, but we are usually talking about the day to day details of our lives, or things happening in the world around us, people we know, plans we have to cook a meal for a friend or to do some yard work or something. We joke around a lot together also. I knew that this communication would be very different than any of that.

I sat up a little bit straighter in my comfortable chair as I faced him with love and honour of all that he is. I spoke from my heart. And as I did this, I changed. And the energy in the room changed. My speech was slower and more weighted as I spoke. The energy emanating from me was different. I was speaking my truth and it made all the difference to me. It felt marvelous!

I didn't say much. I just spoke what was in my heart in that moment. There was nothing rehearsed. I had not prepared anything. And I was NOT attached to any outcome as I did this. It did not matter to me what his response would be. It mattered tremendously to me that I spoke from my heart.

Every single time that speak from my heart of the truth that is in me in that moment, I feel as if I am speaking from a place of divine wisdom, grace and unconditional love. And I don't think that this is because I am different than you are, or than anyone is. I think this is because whenever any of us speaks from our hearts of the truth that is in us in that moment, we speak from a place of divine wisdom, grace and unconditional love.

And as we do this, we bring more of these energies into the world. We bring divine wisdom. We bring divine grace. We bring divine and powerfully transformative unconditional love. We give these to the world when we speak our truth from our hearts.

This is what I call 'being in my truth.' Indeed, I don't actually have to say anything. I can center myself in my heart, in that place of divine energy, and radiate that out to the world without using words. If I do decide to speak, I do it slowly, from the heart, and that energy is contained in my words.

My husband heard me that day. He honoured my expression of my truth and then we proceeded on with our shared lives. It didn't seem to change him very much. But I can assure you that it changed me deeply and forever.

Uncertain Ground

We cannot go by what we have been in the past, what we have experienced in the past.

We cannot base our present being on what we used to be or what we used to do. There are no assumptions that make sense anymore, at least not to me.

The choice is always made in the moment.

So make the choice in the moment, not based on anything that has been, but on what is now.

Right Where You Are

Every moment is fine, just as it is.

There is an incredible peace that permeates one's entire being, one's entire life, when one is not trying to be anything, to get anywhere, to change anything.

Every moment is fine, just as it is.

Being in the now is this acceptance of the moment that one is experiencing.

Being in this acceptance is an opening of a door to unconditional love.

Unconditional love is a profound healing of all that one is.

Feel it. Court it. Bring it into you through your breath.

Every moment is fine, just as it is.
