~ losing it

A shift can happen layer by layer. If there is something that you really want to show up, give it space to enter. This when and where you say yes. 

By definition, the things we want to "lose" hang on simply because we won't let them go. Why? It is hard to get past the current image, to step out and step up without fear. But, if you remove the negative connotation to the word or situation and practice in their opposite things change rapidly. 

The reason that diets or other things of that nature do not work is they reinforce a negative view of your image. If you say "I am on a Diet" This equates to: I do not like my body, depravation, I am heavy and unhealthy. Before any pounds can be shed, the habitual view we base our self judgements on must be altered and that begins inside. 

Shifting.. What if you honor your vessel and you want to feel better mentally and physically? Begin with celebrating the body instead of comparing, condemning and loathing it. This alters the perception of intake.  When you work from the inside out (developing the love for self) the quest becomes positive and affirms making healthy choices. If you eat for your health and well being, instead of habit or masking the obvious..the body/mind react to your honor. It is truly re-training the mind and then the body follows. Everyday by installing the affirmation, results will yield to the positive. It works, it is free, it is healthy, and a life style that will alter your entire Being. 

The first step is really listening to the language inside your head and out the mouth. When you establish (recognize) your habits it is much easier to quell them. Next is to affirm your intention everyday, over and over. The last, and oh so important is to put it into motion. You will discover as the mind is re-trained, you lose interest in the so called "bad" desires and habits. This is not an easy road but it is the one that takes you many places..

Observe your thoughts, clean them up. Give honor and reverence to the new you.. be your change inside out (dl) 

~ nothing to hold..

We tend to be very possessive, protective and righteous about our concepts and love. The "momma bear" syndrome kicks in when we are up against a wall, especially for our loved ones and beliefs. But ponder this, the Higher message…There is nothing to possess we don't own any of it.  "Mine" is not an option, not even our opinions so, there is nothing to defend. This is a tough one, stay with with me.. 

Everything you know, you have, or you receive, is from another Source. ~ It is the infinite spiral, interconnection ~ So to lay claim, defend or go to war for anything outside the heart is time wasted and brings us back to a place we are all trying to leave known as [separation…]

Without "ownership" comes with a responsibility. That responsibility is to uphold your virtues with the absence debate. When you are challenged, accept you are challenged because everyone has an idea of "how it is"…please don't take it personally or out of context. I am not speaking about danger. I am speaking to the vibration, the energy, the Love.. For every time you get riled up, it depletes you..

Consider the next level. It is a quiet one, a peaceful one minus the over zealous Ego. Perhaps in time, it will all make sense? I am not sure, I don't know. But at this juncture what I can tell you is that it just feels good to surrender. I offer this view,  it has served me well and in a time when there is so much turbulence, it is nice to have something to bring calm. When you understand you have nothing, then you truly have it all...  (dl)

~ Our partners in relation to the ship that sails..

They show up when you least expect it. That is when chasing the elusive perfection comes to an end and we are open to what/who stands in front of us.


Going in… Be a friend before a lover.

The most important thing to remember is that Love will never hurt you… But, Emotions attached to what love is "supposed" to look like - will.


The first one who takes our breath away isn't always the one who will resuscitate us. In the beginning we are blinded, excited, unsure, but that is temporary, Know this well.. We all change and you must be open to this. Nothing will be the same as it was when you first met, this is a truth, and trying to keep it in its original form is the open door to resentment. You may grow together, or grow apart..that is how life works. Simple. Don't make it complicated or dramatic.

They can not read your mind.. so speak openly. Communicate. If you think they "should know" because they know you? That is selfish and unyielding.

If there are red flags? Your heart will tell you. Listen or pay the price. Don't allow someone in just to fill the void. If you think you will be the catalyst for better behavior, you are sadly mistaken. Don't let your ego fool you…They will only take on their change when they are ready willing and able. Waiting for this to happen? A root cause of suffering.

Don't hide what you love to do, to feel or to see.. How dare you be dishonest or ashamed for the sake or fear of losing them. That is disrespecting them, more importantly disrespecting your own Soul.

Accept them, all of them, just as you want to be accepted. If you can not at an early stage of the relationship, bow out - it will not be any different down the road.

Choose your battles. Really ? What purpose does it serve to fight. The answer is.. None. There is NO winner.. only pain.

Give each other time and space.. it is the gift of being true.
And if it ends, It was not meant to be. Thank them. You two came together for many reasons. Hopefully you can walk on with peace and dignity. Remember you chose them to be in your life and if you have ill-will now, what kind of a reflection are you honestly looking at?

Lastly, the heart may feel broken for the moment, but all that means is you are truly open, you will heal. And.. it is a beautiful reminder of just how alive you are ♥ (dl)
~ this was written in response to a heart felt message received today.. Thank you ~ A.Z.

~ Nothing is new ~

The original architecture in the realm of the spirituality is love and heart truth. Nothing is new. It is the same information/messages that have been here for hundreds of thousands of years. 

What is new is the way it is presented.  The language, the technology and the ability to understand without fear of repercussions. There is an acceptance to awareness and less rigid implications in the quest. Stiff religion is falling to the wayside and unity forms without a specific denomination. 

There are many great teachers, guides and sages but non of them have new insight. What they have is the ability to translate the old to the new as we are in the present climate, the understanding is simply cleaner. As science accepts Source the barriers are melting and there is less separation. 

What you feel and see is personal. From Angels to Aliens, fairies to fractals, Jesus, Buddha, the ONE thing that is clear is the thread we call love. Share with love (DL)

~ To defend what can hardly be articulated is pointless.. And yet it is a constant battle. It rages war, arrogance, intolerance and ignorance all in the "name" of GOD…The name that holds all meanings but is desperately, and tiresomely separated by the Masses and the beliefs. How can anyone defend what is obvious and obscure?

We say with all accordance "stop and smell the roses" .. You would be hard pressed to find a disagreement but in the wonder, the beauty, the aroma, color and its thorn(s) is the rose one single "thing" ? Yes? No? It is comprised of many parts. Do you stop and look at it as an individual pieces or does it call you in and hold you in its totality?

If you accept the Rose as a whole (thorns and all) then in this acceptance is the beginning of the end.. The end of all disconnection as the separations melt away. The beginning of the Pause, the draw, that holds us for a moment in blissful suspension. No judgement, just the wrapped in the moment of the moment.

As for the ones who tell you it is this way or that.. bless them all and let them have it. It is true and real for them  just as the rose in its color, texture and aroma.. You like it, you don't Or is it just an object to get our attention ? Perhaps..To admire from a distance, and carefully lifted to the face for an inhale (dl)

NIGHT GLOW

~ There is a certain time as the Sun kisses the the day good-bye when the Ocean water tuns to lavender..It is still and reflective. This only lasts for a very short time and if you are watching the array in the in sky, to witness this dance in the fading light is quite a show.

The light reflects, luminously echoing joy off the water like a child in discovery and in pure bliss. A few passing gulls become soaring shadows and their call gently beckons the night to come in. The last bit of glowing sky gives way to the stars and now it is time to settle into the night. 

The water lapping at the shore sends a gentle reminder that even in the stillness of the moment, we are at the mercy of the mighty Sea.. And for all of its softness right now, it can change in the blink of an eye by the power of the wind and tidal current taking control. Mother Earth plays no favorites.The subtle signs are her gifts. They can warn, they can play, they can give such delight but it is up to us to understand the presence..

Getting in touch with what is given to us daily takes away from ego/self.  If it is honored, revered, given deep Awe the rewards are peace to our heart.  A wonderful solace begins your relationship with the ALL making life magic, serene, and real in the un-real place we call home. This view makes the troubled seem less ominous, the material so trivial, and brings back that innocence of simple joy. Filling up in color (the lavender moments in gratitude) as the pause overtakes the past, the future, and brings us right back to why we are here.. present and alive (dl)

~ Question it all...

~ In this venue nothing is absolute except what resonates with your heart center. And even then you may still debate it…This is OK to do. Questioning is how we learn. 

I gently request that you please digest and what you read and hear, then question it all ~

You do not have to take in anything at face value until you feel it, hold it and can smile about it. The light we dance in is all theory. There is NO proof to any of it - it is just experiences retold from one to another through vehicles such as orations, writings, or technology.

I have not yet met or heard of one soul who is considered a Sage, full of wisdom, love and understanding who claims that they "KNOW", and are absolute to any mysteries our universe has on a Spiritual level. It is "ALL" undefinable.

We try to communicate what is rooted, but it is so personal that words many times do not vindicate. Do your work, research, and practice the job you were entitled to do via your inner voice (the heart center). If you do not line up with another don't be disheartened, for there is so much for all of us to have it can be overwhelming.

Be clear with your intentions to vibrate higher. Listen with intent and to honor how and what others are feeling and saying to this subject. Clean out the static airwaves that surround you by tuning in internally. Stop the unwanted noise that irritates your sensibility. Open up your musical body rhythm and enjoy. This is our rite and our right.

Lift your spirit as spirit flows in you when you touch, feel, and see nature. 

Life is all yours every day, every minute, every second. Climb the mountain, Swim in the water, LIVE. when you do you will be treated to more than just the physical experiences You will understand your internal spirit…(DL)
