Be a Loving Presence in Your Own Life

Today we just want you to concentrate on yourself. Be your own best friend. Be a loving presence in your own life. Be gentle and kind with yourself. Speak well of yourself. Allow yourself pleasure and peace. Tomorrow is quite soon enough to rejoin the fray. Quiet contemplation is your best bet today. We love you and wish you joy.

Live the Love in Your Heart

The love you crave is always in your heart. The love you crave is created by you. You are all you need to feel loved and important and good. When you find that love in your heart, and live it, you will draw love and appreciation from others without wearing yourself out or building resentment. Live for your own loving expression of the light of the universe.

Put Yourself First

Don't label yourself "selfish" for taking care of yourself. Be a loving and helpful and generous person to others, and always make sure your own needs are being met. Don't expect anyone to take care of you if you never ask for anything. Put yourself first and you will have all the energy and good will in the world to be a positive presence in the lives of all those you encounter in your day.

Be Conscious of What You Believe

It's always good to reconsider. Whatever you believe might not be true, or might have been true once but no longer is, or simply might not be relevant to your life any more. Whatever you believe is worth questioning. Maybe it needn't hold you back any longer, or shore you up either. Be conscious of what you believe and what you are basing decisions on. Think about it!

Just Look!

Look around you, wherever you are in any moment of the day, and find ten things you can enjoy, laugh at, appreciate, love. You might notice a lovely tree. You might love a person who has been good to you. You might enjoy the blessed interaction between a small child and her mother. You might smell a delicious meal. You might laugh at a puppy's antics. Wherever you are, whatever is going on, however much money you have, there are always people and things to appreciate and enjoy. Just look!

The First Step

Picture yourself in comfort and abundance. Picture yourself in a supportive, loving, sexy, creative, active relationship. Picture yourself doing good work for the betterment of humankind. Picture yourself happy. That's the first step. Well done!

Your Gift To Us

Believe in yourself and you will glide into your own natural place in the universe. You are an important part of the unfolding enlightenment. Your consciousness is an integral part of all consciousness. Whatever you are doing, do it with your whole heart. Whatever you are doing, do it consciously and from love. Whatever you are doing at any moment of the day, attend to it fully. That is your gift to us.

Open Your Heart and Mind

Soften your heart. Open your mind. Allow the spirit of the ages to be known to you. When you listen, we communicate clearly. When you listen with an open heart and an open mind, you will always be guided in love and compassion. Allow the quiet to descend each and every day, so that you might hear your own true guidance. Allow the quiet and the stillness in your body and in your mind. There is where the truth lies. There is where you will find your guidance. For your heart and mind are connected to the one great heart and mind of all that is. The spirit is within you and surrounding you. Open your heart.

Forgiveness

Forgiveness is your path to peace -- forgiveness of yourself and others. Forgiveness is your ally in healing yourself. Forgiveness releases judgment and blame. Forgive all.

Change Within

You will benefit from caring for others. You will benefit from relaxing your judgment. You will benefit from enjoying your life every day. You will benefit from being at peace in the world. You will benefit from finding love in your heart. Don't wait for anyone else or anything else to change. Change within yourself and all is well.

Show Your Divine Nature

The promised land is within your heart and soul. You are a manifestation of the promise of creation. You are an important contributor to the progress of all that is, manifesting now in the earthly form. Hold that knowledge in your heart and mind. God and Goddess dwell within you. Show your divine nature in the world every day. Show your divine nature.

Allow the Journey

To travel this life on earth, you are obliged to encounter unpleasantness. It is part of the journey. It is part of the learning process. It is an opportunity to grow and learn. Find the love and compassion in your heart. Find the acceptance in your mind. Allow the journey just as it is, and you will find more and more to be pleased about, more and more to take joy in, more and more to appreciate. Help yourself along the way by releasing fear and judgment. Make the road smoother by seeking peace. Use the language of love and choice. Bless you.

Focus on Life

We want you all to send your highest wishes and prayers to the people of Haiti. Do not pity them. Do not feel sorry for them. Do not blame them or yourselves or anyone else. Do not spend time and energy focusing on death and bereavement. Merely hold a vision of healing light around their tortured island and send what physical help you can. Allow your own grief to be lightened and transformed into healing, and add that healing to the light of the universe now surrounding those dear ones who are suffering. Love them as fellow humans, and focus on life.

Celebrate Your Differences

Please focus your vision on the mountaintop with your great visionary Martin Luther King, Jr. Live that dream every day in your heart and mind. Love one another and celebrate your differences. Underneath the surface so much is the same. Celebrate that sameness, too.

Be At Home in the Bliss of Existence

The universe is creating itself day in and day out for your entertainment, growth and learning. You are a vital part of that creative process. Every day allows you the opportunity to make a change or to enhance something in your life. Every day you are able to begin again. Every day is a blessing and a chance for bliss. Every day is precious and complete. Every day is your own universe. Live it fully and joyfully. Express your true divinity. Be at home in the bliss of existence.

Be a Vision of Peace and Harmony

It does you no good to hold an image of pain and misery. It does others no good for you to pity or worry about them. Whatever has happened, always hold a vision of healing and comfort and recovery. Be a source of light and love. Be a vision of peace and harmony. Live in the dream of bliss.

Love Abides

Be aware of your own divine nature. You are the creator of your world, and by extension we are all co-creators of the universe. When you are aware of your own divine nature, it is easier to see the divine nature of every other living creature. Find your way to peace and harmony by tuning into the divine in the everyday. Love abides there.

The World Is Full of Delights

Whenever you are sad, just be sad. There is no reason to be afraid of these feelings. Share your sadness with someone you trust. It will pass on it's own. Something will attract your attention and lift you up. The world is full of delights.

You Are Not Broken

You are not broken. You are not scarred for life. There is nothing wrong with you. You don't need fixing. You are where you are in your life because of past experiences and decisions, both in this lifetime and others. Every day you can begin deciding differently. Every day you can say "In the past, I've held that belief. I wonder if it might be untrue." Questioning the truth of what you think is a wonderful door opening into a world of new and happier experience. You are absolutely fine. Trust yourself. Open up to new ideas about your life.

Let Them See You Seeing Them

We want to remind all of you about the small things in your world. Young children and others who can't always protect themselves. Give a care to those beloved creatures. Treat them with respect and love. Step outside of your own anxieties and insecurities and grief to offer your hand. Be kind and attentive. Especially you who have children in your charge -- teachers and health professionals and librarians. Open your eyes to each individual child. Let them see you seeing them. It can make a world of difference.

Accept, Enjoy, Love

The message is always the same, really. Accept, enjoy, love. What could be simpler? Don't ask for patience, or strength, or understanding, even. Ask for acceptance, joy, love. Ask for pleasure, fulfillment, bliss. Ask for ease, generosity, abundance. Focus on these things and they are yours.

Art Is Essential

Your enjoyment of the arts is essential to your human spirit. Whatever form it might take, participation with some artistic endeavor enriches your life and brings you in touch with spirit. Bring the arts into your life in as many forms as possible, including producing it yourself. That is what it is to be human.

Fly With Us

Your planet is undergoing dramatic changes and will come out the better on the other end. Whether or not you want to be a positive part of this movement is up to you. Allow yourself to be a contributor to the light of the world. Be kind. Be with spirit. Be a loving presence to your firends and family and everyone you meet. Be open to unlimited possibility. Allow yourself to be surprised by the gloriuos things you have in store. It's easy to shut your eyes and heart. Don't do it. Be open as air and fly with us.

Peace

"Judge not lest ye yourself be judged." Good advice, but why not judge not simply because judging does no one any good, and if someone else is judging you, let it have no effect. You are all blundering along in life doing your best most of the time. It's perfectly okay to be an ordinary human being. Allow everyone else his own path and accept where you are as exactly right. In a state of acceptance, you are calm and loving and more likely to act for your highest good. Peace.

Enjoy Enjoy Enjoy!

Why not have a good time? Pull back and look at your life from the karmic perspective. The journey from birth to death is such a small part of your soul's true journey; nothing need be taken so seriously. Do what your are moved to do. Help where you are needed. Find meaning. Enjoy enjoy enjoy. You see what that word means, right? Infuse with joy -- bring joy to. Joy doesn't happen to you. You create it. Enjoy!

Happiness Is Its Own Reward

Everywhere you look there is something to be unhappy about. But allowing the unhappiness does not help anyone, least of all you. Instead of noticing what makes you unhappy, look for the good, the inspirational, the charming and funny, the uplifting. Dwell on what makes you happy. It is its own reward.

Open Your Eyes and Look Around You

Find the beauty in everyone you meet. Let each person know that you see her or his divinity. Smile from your heart. When you consciously connect with each person in your life, even in the most casual of moments, your life is enhanced a thousandfold. When you make that quick purchase at a convenience store, look into the eyes of the clerk and pass along a friendly word. Everything will improve in your life when that is your standard way of being. You will attract good and caring people, people who are open to life and love. Open your eyes and look around you. Open your heart.

Just Follow!

A little flexibility is wonderful in almost every instance. Allow your mind to relax and open up to the possibility of change. Allow other people to influence you. Be open to what happens next, without worrying about what it might lead to. Just follow! Who knows what adventures lie in store!

Your Own True Beauty

Show yourself in the world. Not your made-up self, just your true, inner beauty. Allow others to see the glory of your eternal soul. Allow others to see the depth of your feeling. Allow others to share in your pain and sorrow, as well as your joys and triumphs. Allow your own true worth to be on display every day. Your own true beauty as a human creature in the world doing your best day by day by day.

You Are Your Greatest Creation

You have made a great meaning for this arbitrary day of January First. Use the meaning to enhance your life. New beginnings. However, in half of your world, it is the dead of winter. A time for holding back, resting, preparing for the coming planting season. So if you choose to mark this day with restful contemplation and envisioning the future, that meaning is just as valid. In the other half of your world, this day falls in the middle of summer. A joyous time when the plants are burgeoning and the harvest has yet to begin. A time for maintaining the good work you started in the spring. A time for enjoying the beautiful and life-giving sun. Whatever you choose to honor on this day make sure you yourself are among the honorees. You yourself are your greatest creation.
