What are you afraid of? That change might change you? That you will be different? That you might not know yourself? When change is necessary there is only the self to face and ask the hard questions. There is only the self to make the first move and begin the process. Every day is a new opportunity to move in a new direction. Going around in circles is not a new direction. Branching off, doing an about-face, doing something unusual for a change is a new direction. What new direction will you take today?

When difficult times arrive there is no better action than silence, than inner contemplation and trying to figure out the best way that you personally can make the world a better place, not just for yourself but for others as well. Inner silence allows for turning inward, to rediscovering the child within and finding what fears bring forth essences of disruption, disharmony, and dis-ease. Reconciliation with the child within usually brings about good results, as the benevolent parent, the wise parent, the loving parent within explains, consoles, and offers a new perspective. Look always for a new and different perspective, and then be firm in believing in it, for that is key to successful and permanent change.

Remain heart centered and certain that a path of heart, a path of calmness, a path of kindness is the right path, one where the world is neither black nor white but full of the energy of love. No blockages occur, no stagnation, but only the constant flow of the one substance that gives life and sustenance to all. With love there is only one outcome. Strive for that.

Sending you love,

Don’t let the past overtake the present and prevent you from enjoying a new and different future. Take care to reconcile anything that concerns you and overshadows your days with regret, fear, pain or despair. To hold onto a painful past for whatever reason, and there are many, is far more debilitating than recapitulating it so that you can finally enjoy a good life. A good life is one of calmness and joy, one filled with newness and anticipation, one that only you can give yourself. Let go of the old and open to the new.

Sending you love,

Training of the mind is just as important as training of the body. To hone the mind so that calmness is easily achieved will bring not only the mind into calmness but also the body and the emotions, and it will allow the spirit within you to be more easily heard. Your spirit yearns to speak with you, to guide you and show you the way. The best way to connect is to get the thinking mind, the busy mind, out of the way. Learn simple meditation tricks to relax the body and the thinking mind so that calmness ensues, even for just a few minutes at a time. It will do you wonders and your spirit will rejoice.
