Children love and connect in more open-hearted and unconditional ways than we do as adults. They intuitively plug into to a field of divine energy that emanates from them. Through this connection to their divine source, they are continuously in touch with their infinite nature as love. They trust themselves, follow the whispers of spirit, and intimately connect to others. Just observe a child at play, openhearted, and present and you will see them as channels of love, delighting in the beauty of life. You, too, knew lightheartedness as a child, especially when you splashed in puddles after a warm rain, chased twinkling fireflies on warm … [Read more...]
The Power of Making Enlightened Choices
Break free of your fear by making enlightened choices that align with your heart and not your head. Such enlightened choices, however challenging, will get you moving toward creating your dreams. Several months ago when I was visiting a friend in NC, I took a stroll on the beach with the intent of beachcombing. My friend desired a sand dollar to place in a healing fishing net she was creating. I, on the other hand, wanted a sand dollar to support my intention of abundance. While beachcombing with these requests to the universe, I sorted through a myriad of shells. Each time, I picked up a shell, I examined it, and decided if it resonated … [Read more...]
Trusting Your Connection to Source
One of the cornerstones of living a soul-hearted life is trusting your connection to your divine source. As you’ve probably discovered in your own life, it’s easy to trust in the divine when things are going as you’ve planned or envisioned. But, what about the times when you are challenged, or your best laid plans go completely off track? It’s harder in these moments to trust and allow things to unfold without trying to control them. This is when you have to shift from the fear you are powerless over your life to the affirmation that you are the co-creator of your reality. Source means the origin of pure energy that flows through you—also … [Read more...]
Shine Your Light as an Evolutionary of Love
“Shine your light and make a positive impact on the world; there is nothing so honorable as helping improve the lives of others.” ~ Roy T. Bennett Women, as a powerful energy source, must take the lead to transform our world to a consciousness of love, harmony, and peace. As conscious evolutionaries of love, we can step into our feminine power, shine our light―and, in the process, elevate our consciousness to love. The chaos of our times is the result of a profound and intense time of transformation. Marianne Williamson writes about this intense time of transformation, “The chaos of our times is a reflection of a profound and inexorable … [Read more...]
3 Ways to Remain Positive and Centered While Moving through Intense Transitions
“Our life is an apprenticeship to the truth that around every circle another can be drawn; that there is no end in nature, but every end is a beginning, and under every deep a lower deep opens.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson Transitions are intense periods of discovery, self-healing, and personal transformation and open space for new possibilities and spiritual growth. From a spiritual point of view, a person’s life is a constant series of transitions: changing jobs or careers, suffering from and healing an illness, beginning or ending relationships, having a baby or facing a death in the family, and initiating or completing creative … [Read more...]
Become ‘Unmessable With’ By Setting Energetic Boundaries
“Compassionate people are boundaried people.” ~ Brene Brown Become “unmessable with” by setting healthy energetic boundaries. With energetic boundaries in place, we can create healthy relationships that support our soul’s evolution as well as enhance our lives. On the other hand, with loose boundaries or none at all, we can easily exhaust ourselves of energy or inadvertently take on the toxic energies of others. This can impede your spiritual growth, undermine your health, and damage your relationships. By setting energetic boundaries, you become a more loving, compassionate person. Such “love fences” allow you to compassionately engage … [Read more...]
Practicing Compassionate Detachment in Negatively Charged Situations
“A truly compassionate attitude toward others does not change even if they behave negatively or hurt you.” ~His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama All our relationships are energetic exchanges—opportunities to become a conduit for loving-compassion. In such turbulent times, however, it’s important that we practice compassionate detachment more than ever. For many of us who are highly sensitive, it’s not easy being so open to the multitude of needs and energies of others. Like sponges, our energy fields are porous and prone to soak up these energies. Because we take in the build-up of energies from others and the world, we often feel … [Read more...]
3 Steps to Trust, Let Go & Lean into Your Vulnerabilities
“Vulnerability sounds like truth and feels like courage. Truth and courage aren't always comfortable, but they're never weakness.” ~ Brené Brown The more we lean into our vulnerabilities, the more open we become to love. The areas of our lives in which we feel most vulnerable are health, relationships, and finances. Whether or not we had a healthy and loving childhood, we all experience some form of emotional pain as a reflection of the human condition. Our subsequent pain, when left unresolved, keeps us living in habitual, protective ways and inhibits us from co-creating a fulfilling and happy life. Leaning into our vulnerabilities … [Read more...]
Shedding and Shredding Your Patterns
“We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.” —T. S. Elliot Living a soul-hearted life requires that you continuously shed and shred the layers of your patterns. Like the Turkish pastry baklava, with its fragile phyllo layers, the subtle layers of your patterns must be released on an on-going basis. In fact, you actually create the life experiences that reveal the next layer of a pattern to shed and shred, a process that occurs throughout your life. This regenerative process initiates a new cycle of transformation and is essential to your … [Read more...]
The Power of Setting a Soul Intention
“Every experience and every change in your experience reflects intention.” ~ Gary Zukav Like an artist facing a blank canvas, you can use the power of intention to alter the direction of your life. Intention functions like a cosmic magnet, drawing to you the people places, and opportunities that shape your future reality. It is up to you to select from these choices as to what aligns with you and what does not. The more you trust the power of your intentions, the easier it is to manifest the life you’ve always dreamed. You are connected to a field of divine energy that emanates from you. Intention gives your awareness (energy) direction. By … [Read more...]
