Harnessing the Power of Now for Mindfulness

Daily clearing and mindfulness are the best tools given to help us to navigate the world and life events as we move along our path. Clearing is a wonderful tool to help us with the blockages, beliefs and karmic results we may experience or have. It clears the past to prevent the same choices and energies from triggering us in the future.

I was told to stay in the Now moment. When we allow the thoughts of the past or worry about the future events to enter or brain seeks the cause and effect belief to place blame outside of ourselves for the situation. We are wrapped up in the story it tells us of why this happened or what could happen and who is to blame.

If we focus on staying in the Now this lets us be mindful. So, how do I do this? They said that perhaps when I hear myself thinking or speaking of the past or future or even moving into negative thoughts about a person or event in the now, that I say NOW. That I should tell my subconscious mind and my consciousn mind that NOW is my trigger to be in this moment and be mindful to align to my Higher Self and the joy and peace this brings, as well as the higher perspective for All involved. For when I am in the NOW that which is outside of me cannot affect me and allows me to be mindful. In this I can see that which was my tigger that needs to be cleared and transformed.

I was told I could also use this to be a my focus word in meditation. To use Now as the word that brings my drifting thoughts back into focus. I was told to remember that in thei NOW moment we are all we need to be as we align to our Higher Self through our heart.

They shared the following meditation one can use to develop this alignment if you have not done so. To align through your heart place your attention in the center of your chest where you heart chakra is located. Close your eyes from distractions and begin breathing rythmically, deeply and slowly until your can relax. Think of a sun like light shining within your chest and expanding with each breath throughout your body. With each inbreath you are brining in more light and each out breath takes away all stress. Think about someone or something you love dearly, that feels you with joy allow this to be the emotion of your shining light. As you focus upon the center of this light see a door of gold appear before you. Walk towards that door and open it. As you enter the room it is a beautiful white room with golden trim, and you feel peace and joy. Within the room you see a shining Being of Light. They greet you and tell you they are your Higher Self. They are the part of you that has always been One with the Universal Oness of Creation. They have awaited you return to connect with them. They open their arms and you enter their embrace, where you find unconditional love, oneness and acceptance. They tell you that you are loved and valued. They tell you that you are and have enough in this Now moment.

They suggest that together you agree that when you say NOW that you will return to this moment of Oneness with them. That the word now will take you to this moment of Oneness and Unity where you will feel, know and hear the highest perspective to benefit all.

NOW IS THE KEY, that your Higher Self places in your heart. They release you from the embrace and touch your heart telling you they are always with you when you place you attention upon your heart and in the NOW. They step back and you turn and walk back through the door. You know that you can now forever connect and the connection grows stronger with your attention in the Now. They have given you the KEY.

Now is all we have. The past is the lessons we have experienced in order to learn. The future we create by our choices NOW.

I hope this is of benefit to you. It has been for me.

You Are Enough: Finding Inner Peace and Love

I believe that the energies coming to us as Mother Earth Ascends are awakening all Humanity. We are all awakening at differing rates and in differing ways. Those who align first will help on the physical leve by Being the Light they are to guide by example and sharing wisdom. Do not worry if you desire it will come. I truly believe only those who chose to stay in 3D duality will not make the transition. The goal is no one left behind. We are simply releasing the old for the new golden age to come.

YOU ARE ENOUGH AND YOU ARE LOVED.

There is nothing that you have done in this school of learning that stops the Love and compassion of the Universe from coming to you. That does not mean you will not have to balance those energies that were less than Divine. You may think you are good enough or wise enough to do that which you are inspired to do . Perhaps you believe you are not good enough or worthy to Ascend. Know that if you desire and make the choice all you need to is ask. The help and guidance you need will come as you move into thoughts of Unity and compassion over fear and control.

Know within you exists the spark of the Creator just awaiting your aligning to it. Who you truly are is not this form. Your are made of Starlight and gold, you are the Light awaiting to expand into the Darkness.

Do not let the world tell you that you are less or deserve less. You are loved and you are enough. Turn you attention to the love and let within.

Take some time for yourself. Perhaps you have children and think you can’t. There must be a way. Ask your spouse and make a deal you each have a day for yourself while the other takes care of the children. No spouse or the other parent is unwilling to help, perhaps you have a friend or your parents who would help. You will never know unless you ask. You just might find they are more than willing to help to give you some time, a break to connect with your spirit and pamper and love yourself.

We cannot accept or love another until we find peace and love rfor ourself.

Please feel free to share you journey.

Why Self-Care is Not Selfish: Embracing Boundaries

In this world there seems to be be a split of givers and takers.

As we know over the last week, our goal is to come into balance and harmony in our lives. We need to balance the giving and the recieving, not taking. AH, revelation takers are selfish and receiving is balance. So is setting boundaries selfish? This is what we are going to look at today.

As life is a mirror or reflection to show us that which we need to look at within ourselves that causes us to react so to this topic was mirrored to me. I came across a video of a man who was sharing how he was so tired and hurt that in being a good person and helping others, he was continually used and left emotionally hurt and drained. It tugged at my heart as an empath and a giver myself. I don’t know if it was a real or fake video, but the message was clear for me. Then today as I walked by the television I heard a minister ask her audience how many believed being selfish was okay.

This I knew was the message that was going to be written today. For yesterday, I was told that it was important for me to begin to set boundaries, so that as I work in a more expanded way with people I do not allow the Giver/Caretaker energy within me to allow myself to be overwhelmed by takers. For you see it is not selfish to set boundaries or to receive. However, one must balance recieving and giving. I have the giving part down but the receiving or even asking for help has been a problem.

I discussed this a bit in yesterday’s message of how after my Father passed, I fel like I had to be strong and take care of others and didn’t ask for help. I find myself seeing a need a helping a person but not asking for help when I need it and feeling ackward when someone tries to help. In doing so, I am stopping the flow. The other part is that I tend to get connected with takers like this gentleman in the video and a part of me feels guilty to say ‘no’. So, my guides are saying it is time to learn to set boundaries. I am about to learn that lesson well in my life.

What they want me to know that it is not selfish to set boundaries. To do things when it works for you instead of when another demands it. It is not weak to ask for help, for even our teachers and guides are limited in helping us unless we ask. Givers need to take time to replenish their energy.

I need to learn that taking care of myself and my needs is not selfish unless I tend to always put myself before the needs of all others. It is finding the balance of being able to work, be of service, grow spiritually and enjoy life. For we are here to enjoy this beautiful planet upon which we live. Yesterday, we took the afternnon to go to the ocean. It was good and the water always helps to clear the old energies and bring peace and joy. This still left time to do a little work, share a message on my blog, and do some reading and meditating. Balance, I had a client call me that they needed help, in the past this call would have made me feel guilty for taking this time for myself. Instead I simply said I was out of the office and would do it if I got back in time that day or the next.

That may not seem like a big deal to many but for me it was a big step. I am simply taking things one day and event at a time. So balance comes in all forms in order to bring harmony into our lives. We give in service to help others but we need to be aware of takers who are selfish and set boundaries for keeping our mind, body, and emotions in balance, and our lives. We need to learn to recieve, to ask for help from others , and our guides and teachers so that we dont get overwhelmed. This is called self care, not selfishness, unless we expect our guides or others to do everything for us and we fail to put forth any effort to clear, learn and grow.

So, I would tell that man that represented myself, to not stop being a good and caring person who helps others, but to stop and set boundaries. Help others in a way that allows you to care for your needs and find balance in your lfie. Ask for help if you become overwhelmed and it will come. For you are a good person and deserve to receive help as much as you give help. To love yourself is a priority for others to love you in a healthy, and balanced manner.

Remember we attract to us that which vibrates at the same level as ourselves. If we are putting out signals that we are not worthy of receiving but only giving then we will attract the selfish takers. Sometimes it is a need to find validation outside of ourselves that we are a good person, that we make a point of giving in an unbalanced manner to others. Perhaps it feeds our ego when they are appreciative and makes us feel good about ourselves instead of simply doing it because we are all one and in helping another we are helping a part of ourselves and the Creator Source of All Life.

So we need to be aware of our motive in giving and being of service. We need to spend some self time in quiet seeking within to see what is my motivation, and why do I do this? Is it selfless or do I get a reward? Do I need to set boundaries, or clear some old beliefs and emotions? Go into the quiet and ask for help to see and understand. Ask for help to clear any blockages or unbalanced energy. Heal your wounds and balance you mind, body, emotions and spirit. Give to others from a place of service and caring without reward. Yet set boundaries that are healthy for yourself so that you do not become overwhelmed.

Remember you don’t have to do it all yourself. Ask, whether it be from your guides or from another person for help yourself. You need to balance giving and receiving to grow spiritually.
