Daily Awareness

What path will you take?

This is the time of year many people set goals. They "resolve" to make changes to their personal and professional life. Yet, within a very short period of time resolutions are forgotten.

Life is about choices. Choices we make on a daily basis. The reality is, we are free to make many choices that support and honor our resolutions. We are also free to choose not to honor what we say is important.

The more clarity we have on what we want to experience the easier it is to make the choices that are correct for each of us.

As you think about the coming year choose the path that is most appropriate for your life goals. And whatever path you choose, choose fully.

The gift of life

The foal in these pictures was born on December 24, 2008. With no milk being produced by her mother, it was very touch and go due to needing a way to nourish the foal. In search of goats milk to give nourishment a message was posted on a Oregon horse lovers Yahoo Group for anyone who had access to goats milk on Christmas Day.

The response was incredible. The gift of helping a stranger was given by so many. The owner of the horse and her foal did find goats milk in Dexter, Oregon and the baby made it through the day.

3 days later the baby is doing very good. There is still the need to keep a close eye on her but it looks like the danger is over.

The meaning of giving was experienced by so many this Christmas Day.

21 days to a life full of gratitude

“As human beings we don’t lack for things. We lack an appreciation of things.  For instance, how often do we notice, much less appreciate, the natural beauty that is there to be seen in our life – a bird singing high atop a telephone pole, a flower growing through the crack in a concrete sidewalk, or the leaves of a tree glistening in the sunlight as we sit in the gridlock of an overcrowded freeway.

“In every moment of every day the Good, True and Beautiful is Present, but we are looking elsewhere – we are looking for something we don’t have rather than appreciating What Is. Rather than taking Life in, we take It for granted and save gratitude for those occasions when we finally get something we wanted.” Stephanie Sorenen;  The Sacred Continuum

It has been said that gratitude is the most direct route to a conscious connection with God, Higher Power, Universe, That Which Is. Gratitude is the fastest way out of judgment. Gratitude is the simplest way to go from feeling insignificant to a sense of intense well being and purpose.

Count your blessings

It is law that the more we acknowledge what we have to be grateful for the more we seem to have to be grateful for. It is the same with our blessings. As we notice our blessings we seem to have more blessings.

If you are having difficulty counting your blessings perhaps this YouTube video will help. It was sent to me by my friend, Christy Carpentier http://www.shiftcoach.com.

Thank you and many blessings to all my readers.

The choice is yours

“We have the right to choose what we wish to experience….There can be no choice unless there is something from which to choose, otherwise, the ability to choose would be merely a fantasy. Therefore, there must be not only the possibility of choice; but the liability of experiencing that which we have chosen.”   Ernest Holmes

Although it may appear as if there are many things we have no choice over – the weather, another person’s thoughts, the overall economic situation; what we absolutely do have choice over is the way we view the outward circumstances of our life.

Some would argue that we have no control over the outside circumstances. As long as that is their belief this will remain their truth. And yet, what we see is a mirror of our thoughts.

Many find it difficult to accept that they do in fact have control over their thoughts or the ability temper their view of current situations. A quick assessment of what these people do on any given day may reveal the truth of the matter. Perhaps they use a good portion of their time reading, listening and watching information and news that serves only to reinforce their belief that they are helpless in light of current situations.

In order to change the way we view things it is up to each and everyone one of us to choose what we can do to minimize those things that only serve to amplify our view that we don’t have choice.

Guest blogger shares insights on energy balance through chakras

 

Chakras and Automatic Chakra Balance™ by Dyan Garris

Chakras are not some mysterious elements of Eastern culture. Chakras are not just for spiritual gurus or those wanting to raise their kundalini energy. We all need to be aware of chakras and how to balance them. Among other things, these are our “filters.”  When our chakras are out of balance, our lives become out of balance. Does your car operate better with its tires aligned and balanced or not? Chakras are part of our body, just as teeth are part of our body. We need to learn how to care for our chakras just as we would any other part of our body. Doing so brings balance to our lives.

We have our physical bodies that we can see, feel, touch, and we have our spiritual bodies, which surround our physical bodies. The chakras are contained in our spiritual bodies/energy field/aura, which we are not so acutely aware of because we cannot so readily see, feel, and touch these in the same way. But they are definitely there.

Each chakra contains or houses certain energy and each is a different color. For example, in the root chakra is contained the energy of money, the energy of family, of tribe, of self-worth, of abuse, and self-abuse, of addiction, of money as it relates to self worth. The seeds of the energy of creation live here as well. Any energy that is “base” or “root” resides in the first chakra. The color of the root chakra is red.

One of the reasons that it’s important to know this information and know how to balance your chakras is for purposes of manifesting and trying to use the LOA. If we know now that the energy of money is in the root chakra, how do you suppose you’re going to manifest anything with just the power of your mind? (6^th chakra.) The energy of what you’re trying to manifest doesn’t live in the mind. It lives in the root. To manifest and co-create you’re going to have to figure out how to connect the energy that resides in all of the chakras, not just, for example, put all your “thinking” energy on money and expect it to poof into your world. This is one very good reason to want to balance your chakras. By doing so, you can learn to harness all of the power that resides in all of the chakras and begin to connect all of those up. And then watch your life change for the better. Balancing your chakras brings you back into a place of reclaiming your personal power and helps you align with your life’s purpose.

Chakra balance is often perceived as “work,” just as things like meditation are also perceived as “work.” What I’ve done with my entire Spiritual Toolbox™, which includes the new chakra balance DVD Doors to the Soul for Automatic Chakra Balance™, is that I’ve taken the “work” aspect out. You can now relax for ten minutes and have your entire energy field balanced by just watching and listening. Nothing else is required. There is no work. You’ll feel as if you’ve been gone for an hour and the effects last all day. The DVD comes with an entirely free music CD “Spiritus Sanctus” Volume 2. So relax, breathe, and balance yourself. It’s more important than you may realize.

That Which We Resists ...Persists

By now just about everyone has heard of how powerful our thoughts, words and beliefs are. Yet, for some unknown reason people subject themselves to listening to and talking about how bad things currently are with the economy. Over and over we hear how absolutely terrible things are.

The fact is we are going through a global transformation;  one that we can either resist or accept. Through the resistance we create pain. Through the acceptance we create solutions.

 

If your business has slowed down, you have been let go from a job, you are finding yourself not able to indulge financially like in the past, here are a few recommendations to make this time very productive.

 

Kathleen Gage works with spiritually minded speakers, authors, coaches and consultants who are ready to share their message with others through the power of the Internet. Visit www.kathleengage.com and her spiritual blog at www.dailyawareness.com

 

1. Turn off the news. Don’t listen to the negative stories over and over and over. All you are doing is conditioning yourself to get stuck emotionally. Don’t worry about not watching the news, you will get all the information you need from “helpful” friends, family members and colleagues who can’t seem to talk about much else than how bad things are.

2. Take this time to regroup emotionally, physically and spiritually. Organize your office, your hard drive, yourself. Notice what habits you have that may no longer be serving you. Decide which you need to release in order to grow.

3. Be prepared for the upswing because it is coming. And maybe sooner than some people realize. It is the ebb and flow of life.

4. Watch your thoughts and words. Document your language and thought patterns in a journal. The primary step in changing a behavior is to be aware of the behavior. Once you become aware you are now in a position to choose if you will continue the behavior or make a change.

5. Regardless of your current situation, give thanks. Focus on what you do have rather than what you don’t have. The Law of Attraction is such that what we focus on expands. If you focus on what you have to be grateful for you will surely find more to be grateful for.

6. Be in service to others. If you are in a space of “self pity” do something for someone else less fortunate with nothing attached to your actions. Simply be of service to be of service.

 

Practice these simple steps for the next 30 days and I assure you life will become much brighter, hopeful, joyful and abundant.
