Growth

“Life needs continuous growth. The moment you stop its growth, it starts dying. So go into the world full of songs, full of dance and abundant love, and give it unconditionally, without any judgment, to anybody who is receptive — and you will go on growing in the experience both deeper and higher.” OSHO

Yes, it can be scary as it's a leap into the unknown, but it's really impossible to stand still....and it sure takes a lot of energy trying!

Being, not Doing

The concept of being vs. doing can be difficult to grasp. We think about what we want to do, but how do we just “be” as it takes not thinking. Activities that allow us to connect with our hearts and feelings help us learn how to “be."

A helpful tool is making a comfort list, things that bring joy and peace, keeping you “out of your mind!” The list may look like this:

Listening to music Walking along the beach Taking a warm bubble bath Reading a great book Listening to wind chimes Watching candles glow Listening to the silence

Spending time at a bookstore Talking with friends Watching the sunrise Watching the sunset Having a massage Giving a hug Collecting your favorite things

The more we allow ourselves time for these comforting activities, the more connected we become with our center, creating a balance within ourselves. Being in the moment is realized as pleasurable.   (by Joanne Susi)

Message from Abraham

We're asking you to trust in the Well-being. In optimism there is magic. In pessimism there is nothing. In positive expectation there is thrill and success. In pessimism or awareness of what is not wanted, there is nothing. What you're wanting to do is redefine your relationship with the Stream. We do not ask you to look at something that is black and call it white.

We do not ask you to see something that is not as you want it to be and pretend that it is. What we ask you to do is practice moving your gaze. Practice changing your perspective. Practice talking to different people. Practice going to new places. Practice sifting through the data for the things that feel like you want to feel and using those things to cause you to feel a familiar place. In other words, we want you to feel familiar in your joy. Familiar in your positive expectation, familiar in your knowing that all is well, because this Universe will knock itself out giving you evidence of that Well-being once you find that place.

What's on Your Mind?

This blog has a low readership, and so I am considering stopping to keep it current, even...perhaps...closing it. I have now enabled comments, and and I would appreciate your feed-back. Is this blog meaningful to you? Do you have any ideas about how it can attract more readers? Please let me know what's on your mind.

Being Oneself

When you don't play roles, it means there is no self (ego) in what you do. There is no secondary agenda: protection or strengthening of your self. As a result, your actions have far greater power. You are totally focused on the situation. You become one with it. You don't try to be anybody in particular. You are most powerful, most effective, when you are completely yourself.

"How can I be myself?" is, however, the wrong question. It implies you have to do something to be yourself. But 'how' doesn't apply here because you are yourself already. Just stop adding unnecessary baggage to who you already are.

The ultimate truth of who you are is not I am this or I am that, but I Am.
(Eckhart Tolle)

Unhappy? Check Your Thoughts.

The only thing that makes the difference in the way you feel right now is the thought that you are thinking right now. It doesn't matter how much money you've got; there are joyful people with no money, and there are unhappy people with lots of money.

How you feel is about how you are allowing the Source that is You to flow. So when we talk about the Art of Allowing, we're talking about the art of living; about the art of thriving; about the art of clarity. We're talking about the art of being who you really are. (Abraham-Hicks)

*****

Sometimes it's much easier to understand principles when observing them at work in others. In my volunteer work I assist others to obtain food, clothing, and bits of financial help. I find that there is no relationship between their attitude and their actual situation. No matter how dire their actual circumstances are, there are people who have gratitude, hope, and faith, while others with more resources and options see themselves as victims. It's NEVER someone else's fault! You are always in charge.
