New Pathways of Consciousness

Posted on by

Our ability to sit in the silence
our ability to align with our heart
our ability to expand our awareness
our ability to focus on the beauty and joy of life

These are our sacred Gifts that can only be accessed
once we have cleared the debris that clutters the mind

Our Inner Being always lies silent
awaiting our communion
to pave new pathways of Consciousness.

Mind’s Addictions

Posted on by

 

The human mind
is addicted to knowing
all the facts
attempting to
manipulate and control
our transformation

Tripping over itself
getting in the way
and slowing down
the Soul’s innate Wisdom
of which the mind
has NO control

Rest assured dear human
entertaining your mind
with the joys of life
effortlessly dissolves these veils
opening your Soul’s inner portals
to a life of Ease and Grace
Heaven on Earth.

Free of Life’s Illusions

Posted on by

Stripped down
free of life’s illusions
all that remains
is the core essence
of Who I AM

A new life awaits
beyond the veils
of illusion
the ultimate freedom
the ultimate joy

Do you have
the courage
to strip down
die to the old
and birth anew
as your authentic Self.

Flow of Grace

Posted on by

All our efforts to heal
have become a consuming
and arduous task

What if . . .
we do not need to heal
because there is nothing to heal

What if . . .
we’re able to experience life
as the Divine does
where all is in perfect order
without judgment
without resistance
without the need to process
without manipulation

What if . . .
we remember that
Well-Being is our birthright
to be fully experienced
as the essence of Love and Joy

What if . . .
we realize that
we are the Divine
and that which we thought
needed healing
is nothing more than
erroneous human thoughts

In doing so. . .
we release all the energy
wrapped up in our efforts to heal
allowing the flow of Grace
to nurture new balance
and vitality to thrive
and create anew with Joy.

Dissolving the Shadows

Posted on by

The human psyche
has the proclivity
to retain all the
shadows of our life
in an effort to keep us safe

But don’t allow
these shadows
to eclipse
your fulfilling
and joyous moments

For it is Joy
that raises your vibration
and increases your Light
to effortlessly dissolve
these antiquated shadows

In every moment
you have choice. . . .

To live in the shadows
or
Shine your Light.

Surface of Life

Posted on by

How often we allow
the demands of society
to rob us of the innate sensuality
that lies deep beneath
the superficial surface of life

Rather than being fully present
with the sweet scent of a rose
succulent juice of a peach
glitter of raindrops
vibrant colors of the sky
radiant warmth of the sun
touch of silk sliding across skin
or an intimate glance of love.

Bring Me Home

Posted on by

All my life I’ve been searching
wandering here and there
forever reaching out
looking for true love

What I’ve found has been illusive
here and then gone
oh where is the love
I so desperately need?

Then one day in my search
I saw myself in you
and my heart opened wide
revealing the truth

Love’s never been illusive
it’s been here all along
I’ve been searching way to hard
for what’s always been within

So bring me home
where I’m loved
home for evermore
home to live
deep within my heart

Now love abounds in my heart
and nurtures my true self
No limits, no conditions
pure freedom to express

All my dreams rest here
in the window to my soul
Awaiting to be embraced
and brought into the world

Wisdom lies in my heart
simple and profound
It’s all here within me
everything I need

With my heart at the helm
love just clears the way
And life opens to the max
and floods me with joy

In my heart I wanna live
every moment of the day
If I stray, bring me home
Home, back to my heart.

Lingering in the Void

Posted on by

Allowing yourself
to linger
in your inner void
and emptiness
opens the door
for your soul-passion to enter
as a constant undercurrent
of quiet joy.

Overcome by Tears

Posted on by

So many emotions surfacing
too numerous to count how often
I have been overcome by tears

Tears of Sadness
for all that’s been lost
those who have moved on
parts of me that no longer exist

Tears of Compassion
for the pain and suffering
humanity is moving through
during these epic transformations

Tears of Gratitude
for all the experiences accumulated
over a multitude of lifetimes
and how far I have come

Tears of Love
for all the aspects of my Self
that create the whole and sovereign Being
that I now know my Self to BE

Tears of Peace
always present
in the core of of my existence
untouched by what is happening around me

Tears of Joy
as the pure essence of Who I AM
and the ability to be fully present
here in this physical body

Tears of Celebration
with the Knowing that
WE have created a New Reality
for humanity and planet Earth

All these tears
All these precious tears

The elixirs and flow
of the infinite Source
through and as us
the eternal BEings of Life itself.

Fresh and New

Posted on by

The purity of the Soul
does not harbor any
shadows of the past
always experiencing life
fresh and new

Your past self
your past dreams
never disappear
but are transformed
and integrated
into the new You

When we surrender to our Soul
we are reborn, fresh and new
living the passion of the Soul
in a joyous rendezvous
of eternal expansion

When we surrender to our Soul
we are naturally enlightened
our purpose rekindled
and elevated to the
most imaginable beauty.
