A Perfect Day

Some of you are in the sun, some of you are in winter's grip. For the so-called northern hemisphere, it is a time for rest and reflection, for celebration of the bounty of the past season. In the so-called south, it is time for growth and nurture. Wherever you are, enjoy the moment that is. Enjoy the work at hand. Enjoy those around you who contribute to your life in countless ways, some you know, some will remain strangers. Have appreciation for all your kind, all those beautiful humans and other creatures who cooperate to make up the earthly experience. Any day is a perfect day for appreciation, connectedness and love. Bless you.

Take the Time

Take the time to get to know people: your friends and family, coworkers and casual acquaintances. Let go of what you have imagined about them, of what you have projected onto them, of what they mean to you. Look deep into their eyes. Let them tell you their stories. Open up to the beautiful, journeying, loving humans you meet. There will always be some place to connect, something to love, something to inspire. And open up to us in spirit. We are all complex and interesting and wonderful: all of us in spirit and all of you in the physical world. Enjoy!

There Is Nothing Wrong With You

There is nothing wrong with you. You are on your journey and you are completely right to be there. You are following a life plan that has been set forth in spirit, in conjunction with your many guides and teachers and soul mates. You are always able to readjust, to renegotiate the way you follow your path. You can always make it easier and more fun! Begin with knowing that all is well, all is as it must be, that you are in charge of your own happiness, no matter what is going on around you. Bless the day, bless the night, bless the joy, bless the tribulation. Bless yourself, bless those around you. Blessings, blessings, blessings upon all that is.

You Are Safe

At the deepest level of your being, believe in your own safety. Believe in the support available to you, both in the physical world and in spirit. Believe in your connection to your beautiful planet. Believe in your own infinite capacity for creation and regeneration. You are beautiful and wise. You are safe.

Thursday, December 15, 2011

I Wish You Well

Say to your negative friend, "I see that your negativity is important to me. It has no power in my world." Say to your addicted friend, "I see that your addiction is important to you. I choose not to participate in it with you." Say to your depressed friend, "I see that it is important to you to remain depressed right now. I choose to be cheerful and provide a model for you of how you can live." And always, always, always communicate to them, "I trust you. I love you. I wish you well."

Wednesday, December 7, 2011

It Is Possible

Isn't life fun?! Isn't there a new adventure around every corner?! Isn't it great simply to be alive in the world?! If you feel yourself resisting these thoughts, just try wondering if maybe it's possible to open up to them. Just say to yourself, "I wonder if it's possible for me just to be happy to be alive. I think I'll give it a try!" Absolutely nothing in your world needs to change for you to be happy. Simply release the attachment to unhappiness, to dissatisfaction with the way things are. Just be happy.

Thursday, December 1, 2011

Now Is the Moment

Why worry? Why not just relax? Simply trust in the unfolding of your life. Now is the moment when you can accept, and rest, and choose wisely and well. Now is the moment when you can release the past. It has no hold over you. Now is the moment when you can be free. Free Free Free Free.

Tuesday, November 29, 2011

Choices

Relax. Things happen. Everything will work out one way or another. You make your choices. Notice what you are choosing and what you are attracting without judgment or shame. Simply notice. That makes it easier to choose more joyfully and productively. No shame or judgment, just awareness.

Monday, November 28, 2011

Remember When You Could Remember

Remember when you could remember? No? That's okay, most humans don't. When you were very small, you could remember everything. You knew you had been here before. You knew you were perfect. You knew that the journey is everything. You just forgot. Do what you can to regain that knowledge of the infinity of your soul. Remember you are perfect, and perfectly imperfect. Remember you have all the time in the world, and out of it. Remember.

Monday, November 21, 2011

Fill Your Day With Wonder

All around you are miracles. Behold them. All around you, the wonders of the universe are on display. It only takes a moment of attention to fill your day, your life, with wonder.

Saturday, November 12, 2011

Animal Wisdom

The wisdom of animals is deep, but they do not think the way humans think. They have their own ways of being. Do not try to turn them into humans; this act diminishes their power. They do not make up stories about people and events the way humans do. Their purity is a blessing. Allow them their own beingness. See them as they are and enjoy the communion you share with them.

Monday, November 7, 2011

You Are Wise

Take some time each day to practice tapping into your intuition. You know so much more than you think you know. You are psychic. Open up your crown chakra with purpose, and clear your third eye to allow you to interpret what is coming to you from your higher self and from the universe. Sit quietly, breathe, and imagine the brilliant white light coming in through the top of your head. All you need is there within that light. You are wise. You have many lifetimes full of experience. Your guides are always with you. Open up to your inner knowing.

Monday, October 31, 2011

Grace Will Find You

Go where your heart takes you. You cannot know all of the ramifications of any one choice. Just go into it with your eyes open and your heart full. Grace will find you.

Tuesday, October 25, 2011

Accept the Happiness On Offer

You might be working on a problem in this lifetime with which you have been struggling over many lifetimes. Why not decide the war is over? Why not decide this time you can just learn the lesson, release the struggle? The thinnest veil separates you from your happiness. Release, release, release. Give up the battle and the war is won. Give up the battle and peace is achieved. Relax into your blessings. Accept the happiness on offer.

Monday, October 24, 2011

Just Relax

Just relax. Really, take this moment to close your eyes, breathe deeply, and allow your mind to rest. Imagine a beautiful light, glowing and expanding in your heart. Imagine the light spreading from your heart and filling your whole body. Imagine the light pouring out from your body to surround and protect you. You are safe. Everything is all right. Just relax.

Saturday, October 22, 2011

The Light In Your Eyes

We are here in the dawn and in the dusk. We are here in the water and in the air. We are here in your heart and in your blood. We are here in the light in your eyes. Let us shine forth through you in all your acts on your beautiful earth. Let us shine forth.

Tuesday, October 18, 2011

Move Into Your Heart

Right now, move into your heart. Move right into your heart. What do you find there? What is blocking the opening of your heart to all the love that surrounds you? What is in the way of giving and receiving love, which is infinite? What is in your heart to do or say? Move into your beautiful, beautiful heart. There you are love, loved, and loving. Move into your heart.

Thursday, October 13, 2011

You Are Perfect

When we spoke of there always being something perfect in your view, did you have the thought, "maybe I am that perfect thing?" Well, you are one of the perfect things in your view. Hold yourself up to the light of love and you will see it. Delight in the perfection of your humanness. Delight in the journey you are taking. Breathe in the love and wisdom all around you. Bless you. You are perfect.

Wednesday, October 12, 2011

Something Perfect

Something perfect is within your view right now. Something absolutely perfect. How about just appreciating it? No need to name it or dissect it or understand it. Just take it in.

Monday, October 10, 2011

You Are Blessed

Blessed are those who serve. Also blessed are those who are served. You are all blessed. Do your share of serving, yes, but also be able to receive with appreciation and grace. You block yourself from the god power when you block the gifts the universe is sending. Smile, say thank you, and accept the blessings of the universe. You have many friends and loved ones, on earth and in spirit. Love them, bless them, and allow them to give to you. You are blesed. You are blessed. You are blessed.

Sunday, October 2, 2011

Learn From the Past

Learn from the past but don't live there. Make amends where you can. Change your behavior. Apologize. Then move on. Each day is a new opportunity. Today is your life, not the past and not the future. Today only is your opportunity to be.

Saturday, October 1, 2011

It Is Within Your Power

Look to the stars. There is meaning there. Look at the flowers. There, also, is meaning. Look at the faces of the beautiful humans you encounter throughout your day. There is meaning for you there. Humans make meaning of all their experience. Do you best to make meaning that encourages, enlivens, affirms. It is within your power to be happy and productive. It is within your power to show a loving face to the world. It is within your power.

Wednesday, September 21, 2011

Each and Every Moment

We have enjoyed watching Kathie on her vacation. She has enjoyed herself and felt very happy and relaxed. She has also been stressed, and has not always behaved well. But we are smiling on her all the same. We are smiling on her no matter what she is doing or how she is behaving. She is our precious child. As are all of you. You are all our precious children, and sometimes you are happy, sometimes sad. Sometimes you behave admirably, sometimes you are hurtful to others. No matter, it is all part of the process, all part of your growth, all part of your journey to bliss. Bless each moment. Each and every moment, bless.

Tuesday, September 13, 2011

In Your Heart of Hearts

What is in your heart of hearts? What is it you desire above all things? Remember it always. Remember, envision and create. In your heart of hearts, in the deepest part of yourself, there is wisdom and good will. Remember.

Wednesday, September 7, 2011

Live It Up!

Always remember that you are here to experience the physical life. Take pleasure in the sun, the rain, the wind. Take pleasure in food and drink. Take pleasure in moving and pampering your beautiful body. Enjoy what is unique about life in the physical realm. Live it up!

Tuesday, September 6, 2011

The Stirrings In Your Heart

We in spirit wonder sometimes why you make things so hard for yourselves, both personally and globally. But of course, when we are in human form, we are doing the same things. It is a given that in the physical world, there is laughter, there is sadness, there is good fortune, there is ill-luck, there is peace and there is dis-ease. Only focus on the stirrings in your heart, the feelings of desire, of generosity, of love. Remind yourselves it's all part of the journey. Give your prayers for tranquillity and contentment, prosperity and good will, love and compassion. What you concentrate on, you will conjure up. Bless those in struggle, and bless your own dear self.

Saturday, September 3, 2011

You Can Laugh

If you think about it, everything is pretty funny. You can laugh at yourself with affection and acceptance. Don't worry so much. Stop being mean to yourself. You are worthy, you are safe, you are free.

Friday, September 2, 2011

Just Imagine

Imagine waking up in the morning fully aware of your beauty and wisdom. Imagine waking up each day with a sure sense of your own eternal nature. How would you begin your day with this knowledge at the forefront? How would you move through it? How would your perceptions and reactions differ from your typical day without that conscious knowledge? Just imagine. That's a good beginning.

Wednesday, August 31, 2011

Transcendental

You are much happier with the transcendental in your life. It keeps you connected to who you really are. Whatever form it takes--religion, meditation, art, nature--honor the transcendental every day.

Friday, August 26, 2011

Thursday, August 25, 2011

The Only Path

However you choose to live your life, do it with love and compassion for your own struggles and the struggles of others. Do it in the knowledge that you are exactly where you are meant to be. You are on the right path, the only path. Everything in your experience is leading one way and one way only, to enlightenment. Choose a loving, relaxed approach to life, and then whatever you are doing will be blessed and blossoming. Attaching to negativity only makes you unhappy. It only makes the journey slower. It does not mean you are not on the road to enlightenment, it just means you are not enjoying it. Why not relax and enjoy the road? See how beautiful everything is, including you yourself. How beautiful!

Monday, August 15, 2011

Now What?

Here's how it will be when you accept everything just as it is. You will realize that the war is over. You will celebrate what you've come through. You will relax and enjoy the wonders around you and within you. You will then be a calm, loving presence in your own life and in the lives of others. From that calm, loving place, all your decisions will come naturally and be for your highest good. Everything is fine. You are fine. Relax. Now what?

Tuesday, August 9, 2011

Go Into Your Heart

Go into your heart to find your joy. It's always there. Always. It's only the awareness that gets lost sometimes. Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and go into your heart.

Saturday, August 6, 2011

Take It Slow

Take it easy. Take it slow. Relax. Enjoy each moment. Why are you in such a hurry?

Monday, August 1, 2011

Intention

When there is action, intention is important. Be sure you are intending only good. Be sure you are acting from heart-space. For example, when confronting a friend, you are best served when the intention is merely to express your feelings, with no attachment to any particular outcome. When what you intend is to hurt your friend, or to manipulate him, you will not be served. On the other hand, without action, intention is of limited value. At the physical level, intending to do something and not doing it are the same thing. By all means, spend time on your intentions, but also bring direct action to accomplish what you want.

Your Essential Worth

You are not the roles you take on, you are not Wife Mother Daughter Healer -- those are just things you do. If you over-identify with any of them, you limit yourself and stress yourself. Identifying with the role makes you think THAT'S why you are worthy, when actually, you are eternal, limitless, and worthy just because. You play your roles beautifully when you recognize that you are the awareness behind those roles, that good works come out of your connection to your essential worth, not the other way around.

Saturday, July 30, 2011

Only Listen

Only listen and we are here. Open up to the love we feel for you and you will never be alone. Allow our encouragement and guidance always to be in your ear and your spirits will never flag. We are here for you eternally.

Tuesday, July 26, 2011

Human BEingness

Everyone is flawed. Everyone is imperfect. That's what's so perfect about it. You are all on your journey to soul essence. You are all on the journey of human BEing. Be happy. Try things. Release all self-consciousness and find your way to self-beingness. From there it's only a small step to selfless, egoless essence. But don't worry. You can come around as many times as you like. Enjoy the wonders of your three dimensional universe and allow glimpses into the other, infinite dimensions. Why not have some fun? Why not relax? Whyever not? It's your birthright, your garden of eden, your truth.

Thursday, July 21, 2011

Be a Beacon

Oh, it's so simple. Just open your heart. Just allow the love within you to pour out. See your fellow creatures as children of god-source. Whatever you label as misbehavior is pain, pain, pain. Have compassion, send love, be a beacon. All is well. All is well. All is well.

Wednesday, July 20, 2011

Stand In Your Power

If you allow it, you will come into your full power now. Approach the idea with confidence and self-trust. Stand in the sunshine and allow the god-presence to shine through you. Share with others your experience of feeling powerful. No need for justification or explanation. Simply share your experience and you will be an example to those who are ready to join you in that god-space. You are among the vanguard of healing, and you are driving the next giant step in the evolutionary road. Stand in your power and shine, calmly, confidently, and with love.

Tuesday, July 19, 2011

Have Some Fun

How about just having some fun today? You don't have to be so serious! You don't have to work on yourself every minute! Everything is perfectly fine. Joy and relaxation are their own reward. It's a beautiful world. Enjoy it!

Tuesday, July 12, 2011

Loneliness

Lift your head up. Walk with assurance and self-confidence. Meet people with a smile and a greeting from your heart. Open your eyes to the wonderful beings in your sphere. Allow them into your life, into your heart of hearts. Only by allowing do you create intimacy and connection. Only by allowing do you assuage your loneliness. Loneliness is not inherent, it is learned. Open up and allow.

Monday, July 11, 2011

The Beautiful Limitless Earth

When was the last time you went outside, not just from building to car to building? When was the last time you had nothing to walk on but the earth? When was the last time all you heard were the sounds of nature? You need the giving earth, you need the babbling brook, you need the roar of the ocean, you need the smell of the pines, you need the singing birds. Get out of town and breathe. Allow the beautiful limitless earth to nourish you, renew you, energize you. You need the earth.

Friday, July 8, 2011

When Someone Dies

When someone dies, of course you grieve. Of course, you are sad. When someone dies young, of course you rage against fate, against god. When someone dies, of course, you want to understand. Only realize that all those feelings and thoughts come from the physical part of your soul's expression - the part of you that is completely identified with the physical form you are now manifesting. You are the soul within and without, however, and so is your loved one. There is no death in death. Only sloughing off of the physical form. From the karmic perspective, there is a reason for this death, which you might never know, in fact can't know fully while you are still in physical form. Please allow whatever feelings arise for you, please allow the grief process to take its course. It will bring you to peace if you let it. But when you allow the quiet voice within to reassure you about the eternity of existence, the oneness of all, then the peace can come sooner and more deeply. When you miss your loved one, simply get quiet and invite them in. You will sense their presence in some way. Our eternal spirits have no limitations of time or space or energy. So we can be doing our growth work in spirit, even incarnating again, and still come to you as you knew us whenever you need and are willing to receive our visit. Be open and your loved ones will come.

Thursday, July 7, 2011

Within You

Where is your peace? Within you. Where is your joy? Within you. Where is your love? Absolutely within you and all around you, for love, peace, joy, these are the things you are made of these are the things that bless you and with which you bless the world. All else is ego, all else is anxiety, all else is folly. Find the joy, peace, love within you. Let it pour from you like sunshine. All are blessed. All are loved.

Tuesday, July 5, 2011

Laugh Laugh Laugh

You are blessed with an invaluable gift--your sense of humor. When you are laughing, you cannot worry. When you are laughing, you cannot judge. Feel the laughter well up from within. Laugh at yourself most of all, with good will and comapssion. With laughter comes release, a sharing of the universality of the human condition. Laugh laugh laugh and then notice the big sigh that comes at the end. Aaaahhhh.

Monday, July 4, 2011

Independence Day

Declare your own independence day. Declare your independence from worry, from judgment, from ill-feelings, from anger. Declare your independence from everything that separates you from light and pleasure and happiness and your own true loving nature. Recognize your interdependence with others. Share your joys and sorrows with others and allow them to share their joys and sorrows with you. We are all connected and we all come from source energy which is love. Show that beautiful light inside of you.

Tuesday, June 28, 2011

What Is Your Heart's Desire?

What is your heart's desire? What is your heart's desire? What is your heart's desire? What is your heart's desire? What is your heart's desire? What is your heart's desire? Listen, write it down, visualize it, allow it.

Monday, June 27, 2011

The World Has so Much to Offer

We want you to remember that there is always another way to look at a situation. Whatever you think is happening, there will be some other explanation or interpretation. Why leap to the one that hurts? Why explain things in a way that feels bad? You'll never know all the ins and outs of any human predicament. Find the happiest possible way of looking at it, find the love that is always with you. Then move on to what's next. The world has so much to offer you!

Tuesday, June 21, 2011

Be Kind

Before you say the next thing, take a moment to think about it. Is it kind? Is it really necessary? Will it help the situation? Watch out for over-censoring yourself; definitely speak your mind, but also be conscious of what you a e saying. Be conscious of the effect it might have. Be kind.

Monday, June 20, 2011

Love and Stillness

It really is okay just to let it go. You don't have to convince anyone of anything. You don't have to justify your actions to anyone. You don't have to explain. As long as you are in your heart, you will know what to do. As long as you play your part with love and stillness, all will be well. Just let it go.

Thursday, June 16, 2011

Release Regret

Really, really, really let go of regret. Whatever you wish you had done or had not done, there's no way to know if your life would have been better had things gone differently. If you find yourself unable to release a certain regret, maybe there's a way for you to bring the essence of what you are missing into your life today. Maybe it's true you'll never play center field in the major leagues, but it only takes a few people for a pick-up game at the park. Release regret, and turn your attention to what's glorious today. And there is plenty that is glorious. All is well.

Wednesday, June 15, 2011

Dancing in the Light

Find your own way to dance in the light. Dance with others, dance with the moon, dance with your own inner rhythm. Waltz, headbang, tap dance. Turn the music up loud and move. Bring your dancing spirit to whatever you do. Dance through work, dance your art, dance in relationship. Find your own way to dance.

Monday, June 13, 2011

Within You Is the Answer

Within you is the answer. Find whatever help you need to listen to your own wisdom. Many healing modalities are available to you. Any or all of them might be the ticket to greater life satisfaction, happier relationships, more fulfilling work, and your own personal, spiritual growth. Ask around. Find what works for you. Within you is the answer, and most people want to help you.

Thursday, June 9, 2011

Be an Example

Be an example. Don't criticize others, just be an example. That's what works to change things. And you find that you are living your life in peace and contentment, without striving.

Wednesday, June 8, 2011

In the Flow

You have gifts to give. Never forget it. You are talented, loving and true. You might lose sight of it from time to time, but your special uniqueness never deserts you. Tune into what you are doing when you feel "in the flow." That will be a hint of your special gift. Yum.

Tuesday, June 7, 2011

Joyful Beingness

All we want to say to you is that you are precious to us and to yourselves. You are precious to each other, if you will only see it. You can choose how to live, how to think, how to breathe, even. Always choose from that preciousness, from the place of joyful beingness. All is well.

Monday, June 6, 2011

Your Inmost Voice

Whatever you do, don't give up your connection with your inmost self. When you are low, that inner voice will be a source of comfort and, yes, even joy. That inner voice is your essential, eternal, spiritual, loving being, connected to all that is. It's all you need to be completely happy. Tune in and relax.

Friday, June 3, 2011

Cry Like a Baby

If you feel like crying, let 'er rip. Cry, cry, cry. Cry like a baby. Cry it all out. Find the pain inside you and consciously watch it pour out with your tears. If you can, get someone to hold you or to pat your knee and say "There, there." Then wash your face and do the next good thing. Life is beautiful.

Wednesday, June 1, 2011

Everywhere You Look

Isn't it delightful? Isn't it charming? Isn't it funny? Isn't it beautiful? Look at the world with these eyes. Everywhere you look there is something to enjoy. Everywhere you look there is something to wonder at. Everywhere you look there is something to cherish. Why not just enjoy it? Why not?

Tuesday, May 31, 2011

The Gift of the New

Do you find yourself in a strange land? Literally or figuratively? Relax. It's okay not to know. It's okay to ask for directions and instructions. It's okay to go with the flow, listen and learn. It's okay to explore and experiment. What will you find in this wonderful new place? Whether it's a new city or a part of your inner experience becoming newly conscious, relax and enjoy. What a gift!

Monday, May 30, 2011

Blessings

Whenever you are sad, or downtrodden, or in pain, please remember that blessings are always available to you. Please remember that your life's plan includes a use for these low times. Please also remember that you can choose to grow and learn without the low times. You choose. So, right now, at the deepest level, choose joyful life lessons. Choose blessings.

Saturday, May 28, 2011

Acceptance, Happiness, Peace

Do not confuse tolerance or resignation for acceptance, or numbness for peace, or pleasure for happiness. Pleasure arises from happiness, not the other way around. And happiness and peace naturally arise from acceptance.

Wednesday, May 18, 2011

Dear Friends

Dear Friends, Kathie here.
I apologize for the sparsity of posts here over the last month or so. Bear with me and I will no doubt begin again. In the meantime, blessings to you and yours. Maybe you would enjoy re-reading some of the old posts. The lessons are simple and few, really, when it comes down to it. Love yourself, others and the life you have chosen. Be still, breathe, and notice. Accept all that is without resistance. Open up to the guidance available to you. Choose joy and peace.
I remain your sister in spirit.
K

Say Hello

Say "Hello!" Say "Isn't it a beautiful day?!" Say "It was great seeing you again!" Say "Ain't life grand?!?" Say "Aaaaahhhh, that was nice." Say "I'm so lucky!" Say "Wow!" Say "Thank you!" Say "You're wonderful!" Say "Wasn't that fun!??" It works.

Tuesday, May 3, 2011

Love Abides

Because you are hungry, you eat. Because you are thirsty, you drink. Because you love.... You see? Love requires no accompaniment, no response, no further action. Love is, plain and simple. Love abides. Love abides.

Monday, May 2, 2011

Every Moment Is Alive

Just be gentle with yourself and others. Be accepting and kind. Don't look to someone else for your happiness or pleasure. Every moment is alive with possibility. Drink it in. Drink it in.

Thursday, April 28, 2011

Step Into the Future

Love your past. All your experiences contributed to your growth to this point. Remember the good times with appreciation and the bad times with humility and acceptance. Love your past and step ahead into the future knowing you are supported.

Wednesday, April 27, 2011

There Is Solace

There is solace in spirit. There is support and love. There is acceptance. Simply breathe, quiet your body and mind. There is solace.

Tuesday, April 26, 2011

You Are

Love, love, love yourself. You are worthy, beautiful, creative and wise. You are made of stardust and dreams. You are at one with all that is. You are loved and loving. You are a blessed daughter or son of the divine. You are You are You are You are.

Monday, April 25, 2011

You Are Here

Never forget your true nature. Never forrget your true beauty. Never forget that you are here to enjoy, to learn, and to contribute. Never forget. Always remember.

Friday, April 22, 2011

Change

It really is possible for you to begin behaving differently -- to treat that person you don't like with love and respect, to start the daly walk around the neighborhood, to believe in yourself as the beautiful, loving, divine creature that you are. Just decide, try it, recommit to the decision when you lapse. You are capable, creative, supported, loved, ingenius, determined, light-hearted, kind. Life is waiting for you, all around you. Smile.

Wednesday, April 20, 2011

The Beginning of Enlightenment

Begin by noticing. Begin by noticing a thought, an emotion, a physical sensation. Just put your attention there for a moment with a mild curiosity. No need to change anything, no need to understand, just curious. This is the beginning of awareness, the beginning of waking up. Just noticing. Once in a while, move out from yourself and notice a sound, a smell, a sight. This is the beginning of enlightenment.

Monday, April 18, 2011

Life Will Lead You

Just one step. That's all you need commit to. Just take one step and then see what's next. One step, and listen for the next good move. Don't be overwhelmed by all the possibilities. Just choose a step and take it. You need not be lead by fear. Life will lead you. Allow it. You are blessed.

Sunday, April 17, 2011

You Are Divine

Jesus is your brother. As are Gandhi, Mohammed and the Buddha. You can see the holiness in these people, and in your sisters Mother Teresa and Amma, the Hugging Saint. However, you tend to forget your own holiness. You are also a blessed child of the divine. Believe it and live it. All is well.

Wednesday, April 6, 2011

Take a Leap

Sometimes it is good to be cautious, to think things through. But often, you are better off just diving in. You'll work out the kinks as you go. Take a leap, you are always supported.

Tuesday, April 5, 2011

An Invitation

Trust in the magic of everyday life. Trust in the blessings always on offer. Trust in the wisdom and intuition within you. Take a step, trusting in the always reliable support available to you. Greet the day with your head held high, a smile on your lips, and an invitation in your eyes.

Friday, April 1, 2011

Your Soul Group

Your soul group is always with you. Enlist them in your decision-making. Include them in your network of support. Their wisdom is infinite, and their love for you eternal. Their patience is limitless and they do not judge. Call on them in times of grief and times of joy.

Relax Into Contact

The energy of the universe is infinite, and you are a part of that energy. You are connected to that power. Relax into contact. You are creating this human lifetime with every breath. Create consciously. Use your connection to all that is to create your optimal life experience. Love, compassion, generosity of spirit, good works, abundance, great relationships with people. Create consciously.

Find What Moves You

Find what moves you. Find what makes you dance. Find what makes your heart soar. Find what stimulates your intellect. Find what feels transcendent. You are honoring your beautiful self and the beauty of all that is when you allow yourself to be moved, physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.

Be Still

Notice the moments in your day that invite you to breathe and contemplate. There are many, if you will only notice. Meditation is not only for the yoga room. Still your body, close your eyes, breathe. That's all it takes. Every moment of such stillness is precious and increases the beautiful peaceful flow of your chi, and the world's. Take each opportunity for quiet you are given. Be still.

You Are Wonderful

Use your gifts. Don't be afraid. Some will support you, some will not. It doesn't matter. Trust yourself and use your gifts.

Wednesday, March 23, 2011

Ask for Peace

Ask for peace, healing, love, grace. Ask for good times, generosity, abundance. Ask for beauty, health, limitlessness. Ask for peace.

Tuesday, March 22, 2011

People Are Wonderful

Let people surprise you. Give them a chance to come through for you. Whatever you think you know about a person just might not be true. Open up to a deeper and more authentic relationship by showing your vulnerability. Ask for help and support. People are wonderful.

Thursday, March 17, 2011

Hold the Vision

When you think of the people who suffered losses in the recent natural disasters, do not think of them with pity or dismay. Send thoughts of healing and redemption. Send prayers for protection, renewal and health. Draw upon the great capacity of the universe for love and light. That is the way to help them. Send money, if you choose, and send light and love. Hold the vision of repair, renewal, regeneration, rebirth.

Wednesday, March 16, 2011

An Open Mind

Have an open mind. Question everything. What you believed yesterday might not serve you today. Trust your inner voice, your true wisdom. Have an open mind.

Tuesday, March 15, 2011

A Moment's Awareness

It only takes a moment for all the stress to be gone. It only takes a moment for the sadness to pass. When you surrender to it, it is on its way out. Don't struggle with it. Let it pass. Let it go. It only takes a moment's awareness.

Monday, March 14, 2011

Your Own Heart

Even when your kind act is unappreciated, it is true. Even when your sadness is unnoticed it is true. Even when your belief is not validated, it is true. When you are open and in touch with us, you need no one else to see it. The communication between your own heart and our spirit is its own reward.

Thursday, March 10, 2011

Your Destiny

Believe me when I say to you that you are the holder of your own destiny. You have mapped out a general plan, but the plan is always negotiable. You can choose to change your path at any moment. If you have come into this lifetime planning to experience hardshp, you can decide right now to change your path to bliss. Learn the lesson of humility. Learn the lesson of accepting help. You can release your karma and be a being of love and compassion in the world.

Wednesday, March 9, 2011

You Are Perfect

Blessed beings of earth, you are all so precious to us. You must remember to honor yourselves. You honor yourselves by treating each other respectfully and with love. You honor yourselves by being true to the love within you. You honor yourselves by behaving as the glorious divine creatures that you are. You are perfect.

Tuesday, March 8, 2011

Intimacy

You decide what you share about yourself, and with whom. It's okay to say "I'm fine" when you are not fine. It's okay not to reveal every past relationship to your new partner. Knowing more and more about yourself allows you to attune what you reveal to others to the depth of the relationship. If most things about you are open and freely shared, then you will enjoy closeness with more and more people. But the deepest parts of yourself are better shared with the few closest to you. You honor people with this level of intimacy. Share consciously.

The Wisdom Within You

When you are lost in the woods, you use the sun to get your bearings. When you are emotionally lost, allow the sun to rise in your soul. Focus on the light of wisdom within you.

Friday, March 4, 2011

Imagine the Light

Out of the shadows comes the light. It's always darkest before the dawn. Very true. If you find yourself in the shadows, if you find it dark all around you, please know the light is waiting for you. The light is just around the corner. Because, in truth, the light is within you and only waiting for your attention. Imagine a tiny glow at the center of your body. Watch as the light begins to grow, slowly and surely, until you are filled with it. Then imagine the light pouring out from your body in all directions, illuminating the space around you. Watch as it spreads to envelop the room you are in, the building. Allow it to expand to fill and surround your city, your planet, your entire universe. Blessings to you.

Thursday, March 3, 2011

You Are God and Goddess

You are a wonderful, beautiful, glorious manifestation of love and wisdom. You are the present expression of years, centuries, millenia of experience and growth. You are boundless and limitless. You are god and goddess. You are love. You are one with all that is. Treat yourself accordingly.

Wednesday, March 2, 2011

Mindfulness

Where are you right now? Look around. Notice as much as you can about your surroundings. If you want, write down everything you see, hear, smell, taste and touch. Right now. Let random thoughts of elsewhere, of the past or the future, float in and out of your consciousness. No need to judge or attach to them. Simply turn your attention to right now. ... There, you have meditated. You have experienced mindfulness. It wasn't that hard, was it?

Tuesday, March 1, 2011

Believe In Life

Remember that anything is possible. Whatever you believe just might not be true. Detach yourself from any belief that makes you anxious, hateful, unforgiving or depressed. Find the belief that encourages warmth, giving, relaxation and love. Be optimistic. Believe in life.

Monday, February 28, 2011

Speak Up

Just speak up. You never know what's going on with someone else until you ask. And that person can't know what's in your heart until you speak up. Most of the time, talking is better than not talking. Information is better than being in the dark. Investigation is better than speculation. Just speak up.

Friday, February 25, 2011

A Positive Light

The negative energy in the world is created by anxiety and doubt. Railing against it, being "anti" just increases the negative energy. Meet anger with compassion. Meet anxiety with love. Declare yourself "pro." Pro-peace, pro-brother- and sisterhood. Pro-tolerance. Pro-affluence for all. Be a positive light in the darkness of fear.

Thursday, February 24, 2011

What Makes Your Heart Sing

There is a well of creativity and yearning in you. There is a well of love and devotion. Find what makes your heart sing. Find what nourishes your soul. It might be paid work or an avocation. It might be artistic or contemplative. Find what makes your heart sing and allow it to flourish. I love you.

Wednesday, February 23, 2011

You Are Wise

Of course, you are wise. Within you is the wisdom of the ages. Within you is the experience of millions, trillions. You have seen so much and done so much and inherited so much. You are tapped into the untold knowledge of all beings. Open up. You are one with the universe.

Tuesday, February 22, 2011

Responsibility

In relationship, it is your responsibility to feel and notice what you are feeling in any situation. It is your responsibility to bring conscious thought into the situation. It is your responsibility to determine if any actions are advisable based on what you are feeling and thinking. It is then your responsibility to act in a loving and kind way toward connection or boundary setting or resolution. All of this remains your responsibility no matter how unloving or provocative the other person is being. Good things happen when you take charge of your own actions and let go of trying to convince the other person to change.

Monday, February 21, 2011

Be Willing to Receive

We are always with you. You are always in our thoughts and care. When you are sad, we comfort you, and when you are happy we rejoice with you. When you are misbehaving, we are patient. What is it you need from us today? What is it we can do to help you? Just ask and be willing to receive our blessing and assistance. Everything is fine. All is well.

Friday, February 18, 2011

Be Gentle With People

Be gentle with people. They might not be as tough as they look. Give their misbehavior the benefit of the doubt. Just notice it and open your heart with compassion.

Thursday, February 17, 2011

Spread Out Your Love

For a happy relationship, find the places where you connect with the other person and focus your attention there. The places where you disagree can be less important. Find compromises or stop talking about that particular subject. No one person can fulfill all your social and emotional needs. Spread out your love and time and support among many, and you will receive all you could hope for in return. There is no shortage in the universe of any of these blessings.

Wednesday, February 16, 2011

Acceptance Is Its Own Reward

Every time you release a bit of judgment or criticism, you clear a space for love. Every time you accept an annoyance or inconvenience, you clear a space for pleasure. Really, truly, let it go. Acceptance is its own reward.

Tuesday, February 15, 2011

Look Before You Leap, but Leap

Whenever you doubt yourself, you are resisting what is. Simply look at the situation as clearly as you can and make the best choice. You are only able to do what you are able to imagine and what you have a will to do. If it doesn't work out, try something else. Self-doubt is paralyzing. Look before you leap, certainly, but even if you're afraid or unsure, leap.

Monday, February 14, 2011

Begin by Loving

What is love? What is romantic love? The two are not the same. One is divine, the other distinctly human. Both are glorious. One is always within you, surrounding you. The other comes and goes and comes again. Trust in both and you will have them. Begin by loving -- yourself, others, and the life you have chosen. Begin by loving.

Friday, February 11, 2011

Step Into the Day

Step into the day with a smile. Step into the day with the knowledge that all is well. Step into the day believing in your own uniqueness and light. Step into the day.

Thursday, February 10, 2011

You Are Prepared

Those of you who are parents know that you were not "ready" to have children. Most of you know you were not "ready" for the promotion or lay-off or retirement. You might have thought you were, but when the change occurred, you discovered that the reality was quite different from what you had envisioned. You can plan and make good decisions, but you must always be aware that you do not specifically know what the future will bring. You are not able to imagine every eventuality. You are prepared for the future by knowing that you are smart and capable and can learn and ask for help. You are prepared for the future by trusting in your divine protection and guidance. You are prepared for the future by keeping your heart and mind open and flexible. Step into the future with your head held high, with a curious and accepting nature, and you will not go wrong.

Wednesday, February 9, 2011

Relax Your Body

Begin with relaxing your body. Consciously observe all the muscles in your body relaxing. Know that as you relax physically, you can relax mentally. Know that by releasing tension, you can release sadness, anger, guilt, resentment, fear. You needn't have any intention but to relax. The rest will come naturally. There might be a period of increased anxiety at first. That's normal. That's just the old stuff which has not been acknowledged for a while. Just breathe through it. It's nothing but insubstantial thought. Release. Release. Release.

Tuesday, February 8, 2011

Relationships

Relationships come and go at the physical level. People come into your life for a reason, and when that intention is satisfied they move on. Relationships in the karmic perspective are less temporary. Some last throughout eternity. If something is unfinished in this lifetime, you will be reunited with that soul in spirit, and probably in another physical lifetime, to continue the process. Don't cling to someone who is moving away from you, but do make sure you are open and honest with that person, and do your best to make the relationship good, however long it lasts. The agreements made in spirit are always up for renegotiation during your time on earth. Be conscious of what you are doing. Detach, and love. All is well.

Monday, February 7, 2011

Assert Yourself

It is perfectly okay to assert yourself, to ask for what you want, to "blow your own horn." You must remember that it is your job to take care of yourself, and that it is your job to show your true colors in the world, to use what you have been given and what you have created to enhance the joy and light and love of the world. Don't hang back. Don't be shy. Speak up. Laugh out loud. Take your rightful place in the world and stand there for all you're worth. It's okay to shine, to be successful, to stand out. Be a beam of love. Be a voice for good. Be an example of joy in the beautiful realm of mother earth.

Stillness

Where Kathie lives there is an unusual snow on the ground this morning. She is struck by how quiet it is outide without the usual hustle and bustle of a workday morning. We've given her some peaceful music to distract her from the New York Times and bring her to us a little earlier than usual. Only to remind her and all of you to savor those moments of quiet and stillness, however they come to you. Savor the moments of not-doing. You do so much. It is perfectly fine to rest. It is perfectly fine to allow the noise in your head to cease. AAAHHHHH. Stillness.

Thursday, February 3, 2011

We Will Answer

When you open us to us, you will feel happy. If you sit quietly and ask, we will answer. If you try it and feel sad, it's just a little grief over not having felt us with you before. If you open up to us and feel anxious, just breathe through it. Keep trying. Sit quietly, breathe, and ask. We will answer.

Wednesday, February 2, 2011

You Know the Truth

You know the truth. You know the truth deep inside. You know your connection to the universal life force energy. You know the power of love, which is the basis of everything. You know that you have many, many lifetimes on earth and in other dimensions to learn and grow, to contribute to the movement from dark to light. Relax, trust, love. Everything is fine.

Tuesday, February 1, 2011

Enjoy Is an Active Verb

Whatever it is you want, you don't have to have it right now. Whatever it is you're waiting for, doesn't have to happen right now. You have everything you need to be happy. You have everything you need to be content. You have everything you need to enjoy life. Spending any energy on not-having gets in the way of that enjoyment. Enjoy is an active verb. Fill your life with joy, fill your heart with joy. It's not something that happens to you, it's something you do.

Monday, January 31, 2011

Change the Thoughts, Release the Pain

Below the misbehavior is pain. Below the depression is pain. Below the bad habit is pain. Attached to the pain are many thoughts. I am not good enough. I am not lovable. I am not deserving. I am not worthy. All these are false. Perhaps the behavior is not good enough, but it is the best you can manage in the moment. Change the thoughts, release the pain. Why not just be happy? You can do it.

Saturday, January 29, 2011

Your Own Highest Good

You cannot know what someone else's highest good is. You cannot know her journey. Please allow each person her own experience of life. When you find yourself judging or criticizing, just take a breath, and check in with yourself. What do you need right now? What are you holding onto that can be released? What is your self-criticism about? What is in the interest of your own highest good? Bless you.

Thursday, January 27, 2011

Use Your Gifts

Use your gifts. Share yourself with others. You have many ways to help, to encourage, to guide, to instruct, to model, to entertain, to enlighten. Share your wonderful self with others.

Wednesday, January 26, 2011

One Good Thing

Oh, my dears, you are so precious. Do one thing, and then the next thing. Stop worrying so much. Do one good thing and then the next. That's all you need to know.

Tuesday, January 25, 2011

Maybe

Whatever has been your habit in the past is open to change. Whatever you think you cannot do might be a possibility if you allow yourself to consider it so. Whatever you have always thought, you can change your mind about. Nothing is set in stone. Nothing scars you for life. Nothing is off the table. Be open. Always allow the "maybe," the "or," the "what if." Who knows what you might be capable of? Just give it a try.

Monday, January 24, 2011

Relax and Enjoy

Please be gentle with yourself. Know that you are learning and growing always. Know that your mistakes are meant to teach you. Know that in the karmic perspective, everything is just as it should be. Know that you can relax and enjoy. Relax and Enjoy.

Friday, January 21, 2011

Simply Love

Our blessings to you this lovely morning. We want you to know that we are not waiting for you to change. We are not waiting for you to understand. We are just loving you and observing your progress. Can you do that for yourself and for your loved ones? Can you simply love? You will be much happier and more contented when you can merely watch, appreciate and love. Stop waiting for anything. Merely live.

Thursday, January 20, 2011

Freedom

There is freedom in surrender. There is freedom in acceptance. There is freedom in non-judgment. There is freedom in expecting nothing. Be. Breathe. Notice. Love.

Wednesday, January 19, 2011

Open Yourself To Love

Remember you are loved. Remember we are always here for you. Remember your fellow humans are also available to you for love and support. Learn how to ask. Learn how to humble yourself to others who have love to offer. Learn how to be vulnerable to your friends and family. There is only way to receive love and that is to open yourself to it.

Tuesday, January 18, 2011

Being Who You Are

When you find work that feeds your soul, you are coming closer to yor essential reason for being in this life. Your essential work might not be how you earn a living, but when the two are one, your life can be joyous and fulfilling. When you find work that makes your heart sing, you will pass on the knowledge that being yourself, using your unique talents and learning, is a path to wholeness. Being who you are in the world is priceless.

Monday, January 17, 2011

Peace Is the Answer

Please remember, peace is the answer. Peace. Peace in your heart, in your mind, in your words, and in your actions. Your great teacher Martin, honored on this day, is a shining example. A human being, with all that implies, who stood for peace and justice in spite of the danger to himself. He, indeed as many of you suspected, foretold his death. He knew when he gave that famous speech that he would not see his work come to fruition. He is with you still in spirit and is a wonderful example to all. You don't have to be perfect to do good work. You don't have to be flawless to be a conduit of peace. Simply begin.

Friday, January 14, 2011

You Are an Artist

Every single one of you has an ability to express yourself artistically. Every single one. Stop worrying about the quality of the work. Just experiment and enjoy the process. Pour your soul into a song, a painting, a sculpture, a garment, a garden. Beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder, and the beauty of art is in the process of making it. What happens afterward is, at the soul level, irrelevant. Just try it. Have some fun!

Thursday, January 13, 2011

Move On

Meet each other in acceptance and compassion. Whatever is going on for the other person, he is on his path. Do not judge or blame. However, you need not be a victim of the other person's struggle. You can love him, wish him well, accept and have compassion for him, and still decide that his energy is not what you want around you. It's perfectly okay to separate yourself from that person while he struggles through. Send up prayers, think of him as healing, picture him peaceful and content. And move on.

Wednesday, January 12, 2011

Many Lifetimes

Please know that you have been through the birth and death process many many times. For some of you, thousands and thousands of times. Allowing in this knowledge helps to put everything in perspective. Allowing memories of other lifetimes, other bodies, other places helps you to release any burdens carried over, any unexplained physical complaints. Through these so-called past life memories, your present focus can become clearer and more joyful. I say "so-called" because in our perspective, the world of spirit, there is no past, present or future. It is only in the physical realm where these concepts are relevant. That is why you can change your experience in any of your other incarnations at any time. This is how you re-write history. Kathie knows of this from a personal experience. Ask her about it.

Tuesday, January 11, 2011

Enjoy Every Day

Dance, dance, dance. Laugh and sing the day awy. Find something that brings a smile to your face. Believe in the beauty and joy which is all around you. Play. Why not enjoy every day? Whyever not?

Monday, January 10, 2011

Be an Ever-Flowing River of Love

Gather unto yourself all that your heart desires. Gather unto yourself all that the universe has to offer. Gather unto yourself all that your are capable of. And then give back generously and with your whole heart into the world. Be a conduit, a channel, an ever-flowing river of love, protection, peace, laughter and joy. Receive with appreciation, give with humility. There lies bliss.

Saturday, January 8, 2011

Act From Love

The opposite of love is not hate, but fear. And if you ask yourself in any situation, “which is in charge – love or fear?,” you will find yourself behaving in ways that will help you be happier and make better relationships in all areas of life. When love is in charge, you are accepting, gentle, generous, relaxed, happy, open, fun-loving, creative, full of ideas and good humor. When fear is in charge, you are anxious, short-tempered, suspicious, timid, angry, selfish, and stuck. When fear is in charge, you take everything personally and believe the world is laughing at you or judging you. When love is in charge you understand that each person is on her own path and that her behavior has very little to do with you. When love is in charge, your face and body glow and exude health and healing. When fear is in charge, your body is tense and prone to disease and physical discomfort. When fear is in charge, you are demanding and judgmental. When love is in charge, you are grateful and content.
In any situation, you can make a decision to act from love instead of from fear. When you act from love, you create trust, hope, justice, kindness, compassion, dignity, respect, connection, opportunity, joy, peace, creativity, quiet, encouragement, intimacy, confidence, health, freedom, acceptance, beauty. When you act from fear, you create oppression, separation, disease, self-loathing, clutter, discouragement, confusion, loss, self-harm, aggression, loneliness, hate, violence, stagnation, suspicion, distrust, hopelessness. Fear can feel overwhelming and true, but it’s only information. When it is a gut reaction to actual danger, listen to it and make yourself safe. Otherwise, it’s just anxiety about some imagined future occurrence. It only has the power you give it. Choose love.

Friday, January 7, 2011

You Are Surrounded By Loving Friends

Whenever you are sad you are surrounded by loving friends. We always hear your cries. We always dry your tears. It's good to find people on earth who will do the same, but even when you can't or when you do not allow willing friends to see your pain, even then, we are with you. Close your eyes, breathe in deeply, quiet your mind, and you will feel our presence. You will feel our love. Let us wrap you in our loving embrace, and you will begin to feel better. You are beautiful. You are safe. You are worthy.

Thursday, January 6, 2011

To Be Loved

To be loved, begin by loving. To be respected, begin by treating others respectfully. To be understood and accepted, begin by understanding and accepting yourself just as you are.

Wednesday, January 5, 2011

Your Essential Freedom

Your freedom lies within your heart -- your freedom to choose light, love, happiness, joy, generosity. That is your true freedom. When you are in touch with that essential freedom, all your choices in the world are part of your movement toward enlightenment. You say yes when it's for your highest good and the highest good of others. When you are in touch with your inner freedom and take responsibility for your choices in the world, then you are content, and you accept any situation you have co-created.

Tuesday, January 4, 2011

Ask the Question

Whenever you spend any time wondering what someone else is thinking, you are stealing from your own life. Whenever you play out conversations in your head, you are wasting precious minutes. Speak up, ask the question, find out what's going on for the other person. Everything else is just speculation.

Monday, January 3, 2011

Kindly Speak

Speak what's in your heart, and expect no particular outcome. Speak with the sole goal of communicating your thoughts and feelings. What the other person takes from it is out of your hands. Kindly speak what's in your heart and let it be.

Sunday, January 2, 2011

Choose Your Own New Year

You are free to choose your own new year. You needn't start in the dead of winter. Perhaps spring seems more like a beginning to you, or summer. For some of you autumn is what feels like a new beginning. Choose your own time for reflection and for looking forward, for taking stock and forming resolutions. You might even make a new beginning at each new moon. Whatever society says, you are free to choose. Follow your own rhythm, your own heart.
