Diet of the Mind

Posted on by

The human mind is hungry for drama
for it makes it feel alive
thus it is constantly
stirring the embers of drama
to feel worthy of itself.

What if you introduce the mind
to a more enticing diet:
a diet of Love
without the need to protect
a diet of Peace
in sync with your Soul
a diet of Harmony
that spurs new creative flow
a diet of Joy
alive with laughter.

Then the mind would feel
tenderly nurtured
deliciously satiated
enthralled with the beauty of life
honored as royalty

And . . .
the incessant hunger for drama
would cease to exist.

Freedom to BE all of Who I AM

Posted on by

When we peel away
all the layers
of our personification
we reach the core
of Who we are
What we are.

At my core
I AM
love
peace
happiness
joy
well-being
this is Who I AM
this is What I AM.

It is not freedom
from external bindings
that we seek
it is our own
inner freedom
to BE
Who I AM
What I AM.

Rooted in Grace

Posted on by

 

I have moved into a new abode
a place of peace and contentment
a place of grace and beauty
a place created by my Soul.

I have moved into a new abode
beyond the linear mind
a place free of confusion
a place where everything flows.

I have moved into a new abode
but my mind continues to grapple
for it has no roots in this new place
this place of Divine Knowing.

Hush sweet child, I whisper
I know you fear your death
but this my BeLoved one
this is your Sacred rebirth.

We have moved into a new abode
where we can live carefree
playing to our hearts content
as creators of a boundless life.

So sing with me a joyous new song
a song that celebrates life
a song of expanded consciousness
a song that’s rooted in Grace.

The Grace of new beginnings
the Grace of a peaceful past
the Grace of future creations
the Grace of All That Is.

Your Core of Peace

Posted on by

At the core of your being
you are the Peace
that passeth all understanding

Peace that has nothing to fight
peace that does not need to know
how to attain peace
Peace that simply
knows itself as Peace.

We are in the midst of transition
transition can be fearful
transition can be chaotic
transition can be messy
transition can create turmoil.

Through it all
you have the ability
to be the Peace
that passeth all understanding.

It is from your core of Peace
that new life unfolds
into fields of luminous blossoms
with their innate fragrance of Joy.

You are being called
to be the Peace
that births new fields of Joy
for all of humanity.

New Playgrounds of Consciousness

Posted on by

When we enter new playgrounds
of expanded consciousness
the child within us
runs with wild abandon
into the long awaited wakefulness
with eyes of wonderment
a heart full of joy
and glorious excitement.

Find the Joy in Every Moment

Posted on by

Find the Joy in every moment
for that is your indicator
that you are interacting
with life as your GodSelf
open and flowing
with the true abundance of life.

For your GodSelf
does not see any part of life
as a problem,
it recognizes
everything as growth
and expansion.

It is only the human
who pinches off
the abundance of life
with their solidified beliefs
their judgments
and their projections.

Even the difficult parts of life
have a kernel of Joy at their core,
for the difficulties
are the growth markers
directing you to the Joy of
a more expanded Consciousness.

Feel whatever presents itself to you
take a deep conscious breath
connect with that kernel of Joy
and then fly
fly with the Joy of this moment.

Ah yes, now you are aligned
with you as your GodSelf.

With my Heart Wide Open

Posted on by

With my heart wide open
the sun rises upon a new horizon
with its golden rays of Light
expanding my consciousness.

With my heart wide open
Love laps upon the walls gently
dissolving the old boundaries
washing them out to sea.

With my heart wide open
each footstep communes
with the earth beneath my feet
sensing her eternal Beauty.

With my heart wide open
the sweet breeze upon my face
is a song a Joy reminding me
of how delicious life is.

With my heart wide open
every precious moment
creates itself anew
expanding my Gratitude
to be Who I AM.

In the Light of your Footsteps

Posted on by

When aligned with our GodSelf
we know everything is always working out for us
in perfect accordance with the divine plan,
there is no need to worry about the world around us
for it too is working out in its own perfection
according to the divine plan.

The purpose of this world
has always been to expand your GodSelf
where love and joy are at the root of life,
and you are meant to create the reality you choose
rather than scuffling around in other’s realities
that were never yours to begin with.

Go where your heart calls,
create anew for the joy it brings
do what your passion is guiding you to do
knowing that you are opening new portals
of Love and Joy for yourself and humanity
and the world will follow in the Light of your footsteps.

Free of the Need for Protection

Posted on by

The concept of protection
tells us its not safe to be here
on this planet
or in our physical bodies.

The concept of protection
separates us from others and
more importantly
from our own wholeness.

The concept of protection
separates us from Love
and the Joy of living life
to the fullest.

The concept of protection
leaves no room for trust,
trusting others or
trusting our GodSelf.

Isn’t it time we realize
WHO we truly are,
trusting our GodSelf
to navigate a life of Love and Joy
free of the need for protection.
