Acceptance
Posted on December 1st, 2009
“Give love and unconditional acceptance to those you encounter, and notice what happens.” Wayne Dyer
Breathing into what is, letting each moment be as it is; this is acceptance. We have a choice in each moment to accept or resist what is happening. In acceptance we acknowledge the truth instead of resisting reality. We may not like what we see or what we’re experiencing, but we accept that it’s real. This softens our heart and allows us to be in the flow of life rather than struggling against it.
There are things we want to deny - loss, death, hardship. And things we may wish to avoid - difficult people, uncomfortable feelings, traffic jams. But in doing so we shut a part of ourselves off and this feels worse than the thing we are avoiding. Resistance, denial and struggle are anti-life and prevent us from moving forward into a new experience. Acceptance is like the breeze - it keeps on moving and before you know it, the difficult person or situation is gone or has been transformed into something new. Read the rest of this entry »

Compassion
Posted on November 1st, 2009
“It is lack of love for ourselves that inhibits our compassion toward others. If we make friends with ourselves, then there is no obstacle to opening our hearts and minds to others.” Author unknown
When our heart is full of love and acceptance, we are compassionate towards others. We know that just like us, everyone has the same basic needs for safety, a sense of belonging and appreciation. We also know that everyone has experienced some form of pain and suffering in their life - some more than others. We rise above judgment or pity to a place where our heart meets our soul and we see the hurt in others as well as their wholeness and we trust in their ability to heal.
When we drop below compassion we can get caught in a painful form of sympathy where we feel sorry for another as though they don’t have the knowledge or resources to help themselves. We may take on their pain and problems in an attempt to rescue them. This can be invalidating, as all humans have the ability to find solutions and access healing, particularly during the most challenging times when the logical mind lets go in despair and allows the higher self and its wisdom to take over.

Simplicity
Posted on October 1st, 2009
“Simplicity is the glory of expression.”
Walt Whitman
Life is meant to be simple, easy and enjoyable, not complicated, difficult and frustrating. Simplicity is a state of being; it feels peaceful, yet alert; still, yet flowing. It’s where yin meets yang; where the nurturing, creative, feminine aspect merges with the active, manifesting, masculine energy. Being in a state of simplicity is being in the ultimate balance of one’s true nature.
When we embody a state of simplicity and bring it to all of our activities and encounters, productivity increases effortlessly, relationships flow with ease, communications unfold with clarity, and our lives become an expression of our heart and soul’s passion. Read the rest of this entry »

Courage
Posted on September 1st, 2009
“Courage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm.”
Winston Churchill“Courage faces fear and thereby masters it. ”
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Courage involves being bigger than the fear and doubt hovering in our space when it’s time to step into the unknown, embark on a new venture or go against the status quo. We are constantly learning, growing and moving forward in life, yet there are times when we are just about to take a new step and fear barges in with threats of doom, or doubt skulks in muttering hopeless messages. If we listen to these lies, fear and doubt grow into a seemingly impenetrable wall to block our progress.
Fortunately, as we connect to our heart and soul we remember who we are and we see through the illusions of fear. We touch into the purpose of our plan and reignite our enthusiasm to move forward. Our purpose may be as simple as opening our heart, or as daunting as expressing our gifts and talents through a new business, but with courage we can take another step. Read the rest of this entry »

Faith
Posted on August 1st, 2009
“Faith is the bird that feels the light and sings when the dawn is still dark.” Rabindranath Tagore
Faith is that deep inner knowing that you are on the right path, you are being divinely guided, and everything will work out. Faith is crucial when going through difficult times, but it is also needed when it’s time to embark on an adventure; start a new business, quit a job to follow your passion, leave an unhealthy relationship to start fresh on your own, invest your time and energy or money in a new project.
How do you have more faith when it’s most needed?
Faith requires us to let go of fears and worry, and trust our higher selves and the universe to guide us and take care of us. When we are in touch with our inner wisdom we access our intuition and we know when it’s time to take a step forward, when to turn here or there, and when to stop and wait. We feel an inner nudging and the glow of enthusiasm when we’re headed in the right direction.
No one else knows what is best for us. We have all our own information and when we put faith in ourselves we transform from crawling caterpillars into dancing butterflies. Read the rest of this entry »

Boundaries
Posted on July 1st, 2009
“When you do not set healthy boundaries for yourself you are inviting people to ignore your needs.”
Oprah
Creating a fine line between what you will and won’t accept into your life saves you from miscommunication, heartache, and that feeling of overwhelm from saying yes too often and no too little. Everything you let into your space can have a ripple effect into your whole life. What you say yes and no to today will have an effect tomorrow.
If we don’t have clear, healthy boundaries, we end up with draining relationships, unrealistic workloads, and unhealthy bodies and minds. First we need to decide what is healthy for us and what is not. From what foods you want to ingest into your body, to what you want to spend your time and energy on, to what quality of relationships you want in your life. Read the rest of this entry »
