Your Path Chooses You

Image

Your path chooses you
Thru all life’s up and downs
zigs and zags,
riches to rags,
and back around

Down endless halls,
with doors galore,
you stand before,
destiny calls

A fork in the road,
which path to choose,
it chooses you,
lighten your load

The way is clear,
your feet take flight,
it all feels right,
no need to steer

What we mean to say,
with minimum fuss,
listen to us
without delay

Your path in life,
it chooses you
it beckons you,
with minimum strife

So when your path begins to zag
follow along
it won’t be wrong,
look for the flags

They lead to joy and freedom too,
so drop your fear,
it will be clear,
your path has chosen you!

Seeing Is Believing, Believing Is Seeing

Believing Is Seeing and Seeing Is Believing
Your life reflects what you believe.
We know! We say this a lot!
but make no mistake, 
your beliefs are the templates,
the prisms,
the filters,
whatever you can understand, and take into your heart.

Your beliefs dictate what you expect out of life.
You have the belief life is hard,
then you expect things to go down the hard way,
and by golly! They do not disappoint!

Even if something goes smoothly and is easy,
you wait for the “other shoe to drop”.
Because that’s just the way life is, 
and sure enough, “Look out below”! 
here comes the other shoe, disguised as hardship.

You believe it
You see it
then…
you see it
so you believe it.
get it?
It is self perpetuating,
but it can be corrected.

You have to be conscious of what you believe,therefore what you expect.

” I’m no good with money”
guess what, you’re always broke.

” I always pick the wrong men”
Oh look, another break up.

“I can’t get that job, because_______ (fill in the blank)
and you stay in your current job that you hate.

” I expect the worst, that way I’m not disappointed”
Wow, you just served yourself up a lifetime of disappointment,
it will come out of nowhere just to make you right!

Do you understand?
be careful.
Take a mental inventory of your beliefs.
That should be easy, just look around.
Now pay attention, and change the things you don’t like.

Remembering What You’re Good At!

You all carry with you qualities and talents
that you have mastered over many lifetimes.
That knowledge never leaves your soul, 
it is just forgotten, buried under that heavy veil,
that let’s you pretend to be you this time around.

In this new energy it is easier to retrieve those gifts,
and use them in your present, to make life easier and more enjoyable.
Doesn’t that make sense?
Why would you accumulate wisdom and talent, 
only to die and have to start all over again!
That was then, and this is now!

Some of the children are showing you how it’s done.
Great musicians, scientists, scholars, teachers, and poets
are all returning and picking up where they left off!
They learn to walk and talk much earlier than most,
and they just get on with it! 

You don’t have to be literally re born to remember,
you can have your rebirth here and now.
Start asking before you go to sleep to go and look thru
your own library of talents,
of what you are good at and have mastered.
Then pick the ones you think could serve you now, 
and bring them back, and remember them

Do it when you meditate, when you walk,when you drive.

Remove your doubt about this, 
you know you have these abilities, 
and some of you are struggling in this life, with things you
wrote books about and taught in your past.
Stop that!

Things are different now! 
remember what you’re good at,
and go INSIDE and get it!

When swimming in shark infested waters
the best strategy is:
mind your own business,
and don’t show fear,

You may ask yourself how you got into these dangerous
waters in the first place.
Sharks are found in a few different places,
at the periphery of places teaming with joy and life,
such as the stunning coral reefs.
Or, in deep dark waters where they never sleep.

They are opportunists, they seek those who have lost their way,
who have strayed from the safety of the reef,
or are all alone,
out of their depth,
swimming in places they don’t belong.

Throughout a life, that can happen from time to time.
It is always better to make a course correction before the encounter,
but inevitably along the way of exploration,
you may find yourself swimming with sharks.

You can become mesmerized when you look into the cold eyes,
you get no feeling back from them,
they are not a mirror,
but a black hole that absorbs your light,
your fear.

It’s okay, just look away, and keep on swimming.
When you encounter them, they are a sign you are
out of your league, you have a correction to make in
the direction you are taking.

Mind your own business, don’t try to engage,
or cajole.
They are impervious to any feelings other than fear.
Fear they smell, fear they recognize, and with fear they
will become a danger.

Stay out of the deep end,
it may have a pull,
the allure of waters unexplored.
But if you must go, remember what we’ve said
about how to swim with the sharks.

Are you finding yourselves revisiting the past?
Thinking of old friends, maybe reconnecting thru social media?

Have you driven by your old house or school?
Maybe had the urge to take a walk in your old neighborhood?

Many of you are feeling nostalgic and sentimental about your past.
Do you realize that when you change the way you view your past,
you change it, and in turn that changes your present and your future.

When revisiting people and places that held a charge for you years ago,
you are given the opportunity to see how much you have changed,
How much you have grown.

The eyes you see with now, and the heart you feel with, are completely different, and those are the filters thru which you now run your past.
All the hard edges have been worn smooth, and you see with softness and compassion.
You feel sentimental, only tenderness and nostalgia fill your heart.

This is all as it should be.
Changing your past by feeling this tenderness toward it,
will soften many lines on your face in the present,
and create a space for healing that you can carry into your future.

Now, if you are letting this latest heart opening happen,
and you are getting good at observing emotions as they move thru you,
and you are dancing in the highly charged particles that swirl around you from all the solar flares,
you may be starting to feel a lightness to your being.

Don’t focus on the events happening in the world around you.
Not everyone is in the same place in their journey,
and it can look messy.
But if you get still and take your own spiritual temperature,
you must admit…things are feeling better.

The last half of 2012 and the first half of 2013 were monsters!
So much was going on energetically that your emotions and your bodies
have had a hard time keeping up!

But a corner has been turned, and now you can just settle in
and start letting yourself feel the difference.
It is a feeling of being out in front of a wave, as opposed to
under it.

The pressure is easing, so instead of treading water, or swimming for your life, you can flip on your back and experience that weightlessness, the lightness, floating effortlessly now, hands behind your head,smile on your face,
looking up at the stars…

There is a huge heart opening opportunity
happening now.

With that may come tears,
palpitations,
mild pain behind the heart , between the shoulder blades,
and the urge to eat more chocolate 😉

Don’t go into any fear around this,
and don’t drown yourself in too many tears.
Let this opening happen, as if it were the most natural thing in the world,
which it is!

Stay vigilant with the observation skills we have been teaching you,
knowing that the whole human race has the same opportunity
for this heart opening right now, and then let compassion
color your observations.

Man! this is an exciting and wondrous time to be alive!
So many changes, so much to observe!

Keep that heart opening,
laugh a lot,
hug a lot,
write a love letter,
stay open to all the possibilities,
keep your sense of humor,
for it is a gift you bring from home,
to help you navigate these slippery times
with ease and grace

Charisma
cha·ris·ma /kəˈrizmə/
Noun
1). Compelling attractiveness or charm that can inspire devotion in others.
2). A divinely conferred power or talent.

It is always so interesting when we place a word in her head and she feels compelled to look up the definition.
She had no idea that charisma was considered “divinely conferred”….
..but we did 😉

Everyone has charisma, everyone!
Some just let it shine more than others.

Babies have it in spades, and it is un censored,
hence the spell they cast over their world.
They definitely inspire devotion!

There is a frequency transmitted as charisma.
Dial it up, you are a politician, or a movie star.
Dial it down, you are invisible to others.

You can cast a spell with charisma.
Ask any lover how they feel when they see their
beloved across a crowed room.

Charisma is letting the divine within you shine thru.
With some it is innate.
Others need to practice.
but you all have it, we aren’t kidding!

Becoming charismatic in your own life,
is holding that confidence,
that within you resides something so
beautiful, so powerful and so divine that
it is a magnet to others,
and a call to do the same.

Finding and maintaining your spiritual equilibrium
is not as easy as it used to be.
It’s almost as if the ground keeps moving beneath your feet,
and the handrails that you relied on to keep your balance,
have disappeared.

It’s important not to look down, not to focus too closely
on the moving ground, the waves of change that keep
moving thru.
That will surely cause you to loose your balance.

As these waves of change come washing in,
instead look to the horizon,
keep focused on where you are going.
For if you focus on the speed of the changing scenery
around you, it will make you dizzy and anxious.

It just takes subtle adjustments to the way you
walk thru life.
You cannot expect the terrain to remain constant
right now.
It may develop hairpin turns and bumpy roads
that threaten to knock you off-balance.

Becoming flexible inside this change,
and keeping your sense of humor are going to be
the tools that will help you navigate these incoming waves.
Both of these are very important.
They will help keep steady, like a master surfer,
with an economy of movement, small adjustments,
with an ease and grace, and a smile on your face.

Being fake for another’s sake
can bite you back
just like a snake.

It twists back at you you
when you’re unsuspecting
when your truth you are
not projecting

The situation you hope to save
by being fake 
feels like ice has paved
the slippery slope 
you hope to traverse
but with each step
it just gets worse

Why is better to spare another?
when in your truth
would they not see 
the better person you hope to be?

Its not THEIR fault you were untrue
that finger points right back at you.
You did not trust 
that they would get
that in your truth
there’s no regret.

So next time stop and listen
to your heart
it tried to warn you from the start

Being fake for another’s sake
is not the road you want to take.
