Be alert to what your mind conjures up. Question its truth. The mind is a great trickster. Unfortunately, it is so often believed. It may be time to give it up, to listen to something new and exciting, to engage in some new ideas that are more heart centered and spiritually oriented. It might be time to ramp up the mind in a new way that opens doors and allows new thinking to enter your sphere and guide you in a new way. Perhaps close the door on the old mind but open the ears to a new voice. Open the heart to new words of wisdom and allow life itself to guide you in a new and more interesting direction, for your sake and the sake of others as well.

Sending you love,

Be aware of how easily the mind can slip into an old routine, how easily an old habit can pop up, how the slightest hint of an old nostalgia can trigger an old desire. But as easily as the mind can slip back into an old place so can your spirit slip in and tell you a different story, give you a different idea, shift you into a different state. When the mind conjures call upon the spirit. Find it in a deep breath, in a heart centered, loving thought of a new day’s unfolding and all the possibilities it holds. As the sun rises let its light shift you into a creative, loving and kind place. Think of someone else with kindness and compassion, let the old conjuring mind go, and move onward now. It’s the most responsible thing to do, for self and other, but do it with love in your heart and all will be well.

Notice how thoughts come to help or hinder. Unbidden they enter the sphere of your awareness and tell you this or that, taking control and seizing your attention. Attend to them by countering with empty mind, with a mind of no thought, for an empty mind is a place where the creative may flourish, where the Great Oneness may find you. In the empty room of your empty mind, wisdom, clarity, and love may find a home, come unbidden as well, but oh, so much more welcome! Study your own mind and how your thoughts come to control and trick you, how they may even enslave you in doing that which you would not. Turn from them and let your mind be open and pure instead. And then see what happens!

Sending you love,

Don’t let worry eat your energy or overtake your mind. Worry creates more worry and thus a whole cascade of symptoms manifest due to worry. And what is worry but a thought, a conjured idea, an aberration, an irritation, a thing best left untouched. For indeed, worry can poison, infect, and infest. When worry comes knocking, refuse it like the plague! If your mind needs something to think about give it something soothing and positive, give it nice stories and pleasant dreams, give it something good to mull over. As soon as you smell worry in the air, tell it to go away, and breathe in the soft calming air of positivity, good health, and sweet loving kindness. You can do nothing better for yourself. Refuse your worrisome mind with some good wholesome fun and good natured play. And remember, if worries are nothing more than conjured ideas, then there really is nothing to worry about! Worry less, have more energy.

Keep an open heart but also an open mind, for the mind does conjure ideas that the heart cannot get in alignment with. A closed and narrow mind can take over and forget about the heart, but the heart stays true to its original intent no matter what the mind decides. You know this already in the ache in your heart, in its longing, in its deepest desire for expression. Keep your heart strong and active and keep your mind in alignment with your heart’s good intentions. In heart centeredness anchor your mind so that it will know its true guide and decision maker, your deepest inner self. Live from the heart.
