Pay attention to what your physical body tells you about your habits, decisions and choices. Is it telling you that you are overdoing something, or that you are not taking care of yourself? Your body is your place of residence for your spirit and your completeness for this lifetime. It houses your wholeness, that which you once were and all that you presently are. Honor it, and with gratitude prepare it well for each day so that it is well balanced, satisfied, and kept in good condition. Your creativity requires a physical body that is in good shape in order to blossom. Your spirit respects a body that is flowing and unrestricted by judgments and criticism, while at the same time is held to certain standards so that it functions beautifully. Take time to consider what it really means to be in good shape. It might surprise you to learn what that really means. Be honest, but don’t be so hard on yourself. Go with the flow.

Sending you love,

Care of the physical body is essential to ensure a long and productive life, but care of the spirit and the inner self is equally important for vitality, curiosity and creativity. To be curious about the mysteries of life, and to pursue them, will keep your spirit alive and growing along with your physical prowess. There is no reason not to pay attention to your inner world, for it is the great playing field of the spirit, where it will find what it needs for evolution and transformation. Many people rarely pay attention to the needs of their spirit and live a very extraverted life, seeking what they want in the world outside of themselves, while others look inward for gratification. Your own spirit may direct you to live outwardly or inwardly, seeking where you must. Either way, it grows along with you in its own way.

Sending you love,

Remember to stay grounded in the real world, even as your mind takes you off into fantasy. Groundedness is practical, as it keeps you focused on what needs to be done, where to put your energy, and how to live your life. Groundedness will keep you safe and sound, alert and aware, so that every day is a day you can declare a success. Even while you stay grounded though, remember that you are also a spiritual being with unique energy skills that you can use to heal yourself and to heal the world. In this manner there is a uniqueness to being human that many are not aware of, the power of the human spirit to enact healing within and without. So, even while you stay practical and grounded, explore other possibilities, especially your ability to heal and be healed.

Sending you love,

Stay connected to your intent to discover meaning and purpose in life, for that is what makes life interesting, the desire to know, to understand, to question reality. Without a desire for knowledge each day becomes like the next, but a seeker’s day is full of wonder and every experience is full of wonder too. At the same time, pay attention to the physical reality of life, for to ignore the physical needs and desires is to miss out on the grand experiment of life on earth and the purpose and meaning of physical life, as well as spiritual life. Being human is as wondrous as being a spirit. Maintain balance between the two, even as you seek something greater beyond that duality, for everything is meaningful.

Sending you love,

Contentment comes from the hard work of fully knowing the self in the deepest way and learning to be fully present to life without resentment or regret but understanding that everything that happens is a result of your own intentions to grow and evolve. Find your feet every day upon the solid ground of your life and remind yourself of that intent, along with reminding yourself of your intention to connect with and fully allow your spirit to ground itself in your life as well. With spirit known and in alignment with physical self, contentment comes easily into play.
