Let your mind be free of fear and worry for only a minute so that you may experience the freedom that is naturally yours. In freedom from fear and worry the mind calms down and the body relaxes, loving kindness and compassion become natural states, and new habits develop based on a new set of parameters. A stark contrast between the old you and the new you is experienced and your understanding of your life and life in general expand your awareness. It takes some work but is a real possibility. A change in perspective on life and a ridding of old ideas is a good place to begin. You are much more than you think you are and you have the power to change.

Sending you love,

Let not your fears rule you. Fear is merely a blockage to all that you are capable of, keeping you from your fuller potential.

Blockages appear in many forms, mental, physical and spiritual, but all offer the same challenge; they dare you to move beyond them, to open the closed door before you and walk through it into the light of your own destiny.

Sending you love,

Self-regulation takes discipline. Discipline takes commitment. Commitment takes effort. And effort takes heart, a path of heart to be exact. A path of heart encompasses effort, commitment, discipline and self-regulation. If you are to progress, really progress toward a more spiritually balanced state that is active and in constant motion then attention to these details will aid you. Look to the wise heart within, to the calm mind and the vigor of your spirit to gain the perfect balance of self-regulation that is right for you personally, within and without. It’s just about getting to know the self in a deeper and calmer way, so that happiness, contentment and balance may become the norm.

Sending you love,

Do you feel left out of life, neglected, rejected, left behind? Rather than feel that life is not treating you well, look to yourself and question what you are supposed to be learning in this life. Is it to give rather than receive? To learn compassion for others? To get over self-importance? With a calm and quiet heart, meditate upon the suffering of others for a change and figure out a way to give so that the world may be a better place. With your heart in the right place you can indeed make a difference in someone else’s life, thus making a difference in your own as well.

Is it time to give rather than spending your time and energy trying to get?

Sending you love,

Notice how the changes in nature all around you may seem to occur suddenly but in reality have been undergoing transformation for a long time. Notice how nothing is hurried. Nature takes its time enacting its processes, letting things unfold naturally and without interference. Let your own inner process of change, of spirit transformation, progress naturally as well. To follow your spirit in life is to be as attuned to it and its needs as Mother Nature herself is to the needs of her plants and animals, letting them find their way each day to what is right for them in their slow progress through life. Pay attention to what your spirit needs and tells you in its natural flow through life and as it leads you to your own transformation.

Sending you love,
