There Is A Time

I recently stumbled upon this quote from Robert Moss that I immediately copied into my shamanic journal to reflect upon. It so resonates with me. And so today I share it and my thoughts with you. “I am intrigued by the notion that there is a time for everything, including certain dreams. It may be like this in our larger life plans. We bring into the body, in this life experience, only as much as we can handle from the greater universe we belonged to, on the level of consciousness, before physical birth. To reclaim more of that soul knowledge, and bring through more of our dreams, we must grow our understanding and practice staying grounded in this world while carrying the secrets of the world-behind-the-world.” ~ Robert Moss

This inspires within me the possibilities that the manifestation of one’s dreams can become reality, that hopes may not be too large or thoughts too grand. Imagination can be actualized! Our soul knows the extent, if there even is any, of the range of these possibilities.

There is also a lovely sense of trust within these words. Trusting that we are not given more than we can handle to endure or to enjoy! To make the choice of more, we need to actively practice our grounding and growth principles. We need to be intentionally involved in the creation of the additional opportunities and possibilities.

Our soul is eager to grow, to expand, to reach higher and spread wider in our discoveries and our offerings. Our soul is ready, when its needs are well tended to, to become fuller, more vibrant and invested in our passions and our wonders. It shines brighter in our words, it reaches further in our actions and it blazes even more brilliantly within our hearts. And all that we need to do to make sure this is possible is to be diligent with our intention, to bring integrity to our efforts and to be open to all the secrets. It is a right bestowed upon our soulful being and us. It is with our greatness that we step into this greatness and that is inspiring beyond words!

Self Appreciation

When was the last time you took a moment to gaze at yourself in the mirror and acknowledge how far you have come? You have walked your path with the best of intentions. You have learned from life’s lessons and tried to apply this to your path. You are a beautiful and compassionate soul worthy of this praise and recognition. Waiting to receive it from others is not good for your soul. You need to take the time to reflect on your personal courage, your stamina, your desire to keep going even when you have faltered or fallen. You need to have appreciation of your inner spirit that walks the path with you, shedding light to the darkness, opening those locked doors, bringing you hope when you thought you hit bottom and recognizing those who cross your path and are there to dance with you.

You can step up and be your own champion! You can take that leap and applaud yourself! You can celebrate the many gifts you bring to this world! You can recognize your worthiness! And you should!

Take a few moments each day to appreciate who you are, who you are becoming and from where you have come. You are a beautiful evolution of a human being! Your spirit is an important contributor to this world. The universe has greatness in store for you and is eager for you to embrace it all.

There is no reason to wait for others to recognize your greatness. There is no need to be humble with yourself in this moment. Be big, be proud, be the amazing and brilliant soul that you are and be open to the possibilities that are waiting for you! You are worth this reflection of self-appreciation!

Our Path

There is a beautiful gift waiting for us each day in the cupped hands of the Universe. We are given time and time again to get back on the path when we falter, lose our way or veer off. It comes sometimes in a gentle reminder in a friends words, in the kindness of a stranger or in an opportunity to give to someone. There are many paths in life, some more challenging than others. Yet we are given choices along the way to be part of the creative energies that we bring to our path. And the path can be shared at times with others; being each others teachers and mirrors.

Regardless of the lesson we are in the midst of learning, the path will wait for our soul to arrive. We come as ready as we can be and then through the various twists and turns we find our way. For some, they feel there is an end to the path, as though our personal journey is a race. But a race against what or whom? Comparison of our path to another’s is pointless as we are all uniquely blessed with our individual gifts and attributes. To think that speed has any role on one’s journey is ridiculous as life’s possibilities are timeless and the cyclical nature of the unfolding of our journey allows us many opportunities to understand and experience again and again.

Even of those times we have completely fallen off our path, it remains there waiting for our return, in whatever condition we return in. It is a constant that we can rely on. Knowing that relieves us of the unnecessary pressure we place on ourselves to be perfect, to be right, to be the best, to be the most…all we need to do is BE. Being present, showing up and bringing some intention takes us quite far on our path. Releasing the pressures of all the should's, have to's and must's, clears our path for joy and pleasure, for peace and grace.

Wasting Time

I really have an issue with wasted time. I don’t mean to sound bitchy, but I really do. There is so much I long to do in this world, so many places to go, people to see, acts of service, lessons, gifts, possibilities…and I don’t want to stop! Nor do I want to waste the precious time we are given in each lifetime with pettiness. Life gives us opportunities to make good use of this lifetime, and for me, every day counts! Living authentically awakens your soul and shows you how to be present in the moment. To explore it fully. To squeeze the last drop of its juicy-ness out and enjoy it thoroughly! We all have those days where we end it curled up in bed asking ourselves what did we actually carry out or do in that day. I want each day to be filled with intention. That does not mean I have to be working furiously and on the go continuously either. If it is a day of pause, that is important and can be intention filled as well! I just don’t want the day to be mindless and without any consideration of how it is best serving me on my path.

We are all gifted with the chance to share our calling or gifts. Part of that sharing means learning from our path. Taking the time to refocus, to find our purpose, to learn from our missteps or mistakes is all part of that process. Living fully and with awareness brings great intention to everything we do and say. I love that!

Finding our sacred purpose in life and owning every minute of it brings our soul to the day and we grow and shine brighter than ever. If we begin each day this way, we learn to ignore the things that are so distracting and worthless to our growth and forward movement. We don’t need to play with that negative energy or with that draining force. Instead we turn our attention back to the empowering opportunities that will feed us with the life force we need to live the life we have been gifted with in a healthy way for our body, our mind and our spirit.
