From Forgiveness to Freedom

 How does it feel when you forgive someone?

How does it feel when someone forgives you?

Forgiveness creates better emotional health and can grow deeper relationships. If we hold grudges, we may be perpetuating emotional and mental blocks due to the lack of forgiveness. By practicing forgiveness, we create peace, provide a model for spreading goodness, and lighten our energetic baggage as we move forward in our lives. 

For the month of May let's plan to take a few moments each day and bring in the energy of Forgiveness. Let's understand the benefits of forgiveness and our role in forgiving people in our relationships, as well as requesting or accepting forgiveness from people too.

A few wonderful forgiveness methods include:

• saying the Ho'opono'pono prayer
• placing individuals or groups of people (including ourselves) onto a forgiveness altar in our mind's eye
• writing a letter of forgiveness to someone (they can be deceased or living) and burning it. 

Incorporating a daily forgiveness practice helps us release the hold the past may have on us, and gives us permission to move forward, lighter and freer than the day before. 

Allow the magic of Forgiveness to harness the Freedom you've been yearning for!

Spring into Growth

The spring season brings with it an undeniable hope, a lightness, and openness to freedom. The longer days, the warmer weather, and the ability to be outside more raises our spirits. 

Spring is also a wonderful time to check to see how we're feeling about life in general - what are we thankful for, what have we been appreciating more recently, what are we changing for the better?

Are we doing things out of obligation, or out of purpose or feeling like we're contributing? Are we finding a balance of doing things we want to be doing in addition to those we feel we should be doing? What steps can we take today to bring joy to our moments? 

Let's highlight all our strengths and infuse them with love and appreciation - asking Source and our Teams of Light to embellish and grow them. Let's request creativity and perspective to improve upon ourselves and find people to support us in areas that uplift our purpose and joy, and, in turn, that we find others to support and uplift with our strengths. 

Finally, let's remember that each of us in an integral part of the whole of humanity. Each of us is helping humanity evolve to a lighter way of being, one moment, one situation, one smile, one thought, one kind act, one realization, one helping hand at a time.  

Many blessing today and everyday!
 

Learning with Ganesh

As I make some bigger changes in my life, buried emotions rise to the surface. I know this is normal. These emotions include feelings I thought I had dealt with already, emotions or situations I know I've not dealt with, and still other emotions and limiting patterns of thought and attachment to things I didn't even know existed within me. 

It's been a bit of a roller coaster ride with the emotional, mental, and spiritual depths and heights that are available to us when we become more vulnerable in change. Of course, it is usually not easy for us, nor is it for those who live with us either. :) 

Regardless, I find that by inviting Ganesh in for assistance and comradery has been an overall uplifting, growth experience for me, although these words seem to fall ever so short. 

In the past I've previously worked with Ganesh on what I would describe as a more superficial level. More recently, I ask Ganesh for assistance in pushing through some emotional and mental muck. When I feel a small hurdle had been surpassed, I then ask for a clear path to my highest good in specific aspects of my life; then, back to pushing through the muck, and then again, back to clearing the path to a best and highest life. 

During that oscillation, which continues still, my heart seems to open just so - perhaps in that vulnerability - to experience Ganesh at a deeper level. I assume this is true for our connection to all deities or guides we work with - our own willingness and ability to connect influences the experiences we have.  

Through these experiences, I feel free. I feel calm. I have an inner knowing that all is ok and will continue to be ok. I'm learning to trust differently, and I'm letting go of old ways of being. 

I am sure many of you reading this may already have a wonderful connection with Ganesh and I may be considered as being late to the game. We all have a few "go to" beings we work with and for me, Ganesh is in the forefront of my world these days for whatever reasons, and I am enjoying his presence. 

So I'm writing this piece to give a shout out and a thank you to Ganesh for sure, and to all our Spiritual Individuals and Teams of Light who support us on our sometimes arduous path of human living.  

May we all be open to the blessings and goodness on their way to us now.   

Love Focus

Posted in 2012 and I found it valuable to repost today with a few minor edits... hope you enjoy!

February’s love is mighty and grand

A love day celebrated throughout the land.

Reminding ones to accurately hear

All of which the heart holds dear.

Encouraged to express love that's true

Toward all sweet souls surrounding you.

Forget not those you may not love

Wishing them peace from up above.

Tailor what your heart chooses to send

So it may nurture, heal, and mend.

There's only greatness can we bring

When sailing on love’s bright, light wings.

When in doubt and when sure too

Ask thyself:

”What would Love do?”

- Pamela Aloia

Ease

How often do we resist the natural flow of situations, conversations, etc?  How often do we allow the flow of life to occur? 

There is a fine balance of when we can fluidly influence things to move a certain way - not necessarily "making things happen" as that implies some force which seems to be the opposite of ease. But easing things into place - constantly being that sideline cheerleader guiding ourselves or someone along a healthy path with support of good habits or positive thought structures. 

Ease is 

allowing and basking in the flow

not always getting what we think we want

breathing deeply

accepting life fundamentals

trusting the spiritual nature of things

prayer

light

all things joyous

Wishing you much ease and joy this day, this month, this year, this life. May you walk in Ease into the world of your dreams.  

 

Freeing Judgment

We are on a path,
each unique to us.

Therefore, judgment
is obsolete.
