“Creating Our Best Life” 6/7

“Creating Our Best Life”

I thought I would write a few articles on this topic and this is the seventh and last of this series.

Creating our best life requires that we cultivate a highly refined life force energy field within us and around us; a field that carries the spiritual dimensions of our life within it. As we develop internal awareness we can be assured that that we can become and act as a radiant beacon of light for ourselves and our world.

The deepest wounds of separation are healed at this level of consciousness; reminding us that nothing about our character, our relationships and our life is written in stone. We can create new realities for our self, realities that serve us better, that are easier and make us happier. By directing and creating circumstances that bring us to the awareness of truth, love and healing. How we implement all these attributes and qualities in our life and relationships is always our choice. We can make it fun and creative, or serious or challenging, but the task of reconciliation is ours alone to do.

There are aspects of the Divine presence living within us that carry the power of reconciliation healing and grace for our lives. When we awaken and are living the path of spirit we can see how we have been guided through many circumstances, and many people, to take the next step on our path with a spiritual consciousness of our life, and the circumstances and choices others made as well. At this point we are open to receive direct guidance from the angelic realm, the Christ Light and the Holy Spirit and the mystery of life unfolds before us as we follow a path of light, wonder and mystery. Living our life in this way we are building and containing all the life force energy we need to live a conscious, happy and intentional life; a life whereby we understand that it is sustained by our indelible link to God as Source. It is the link to spirit through our prayers, petitions, visions and hopes at the level that we know all that we need is provided for us and that we are blessed in endless ways that fulfill our best life.

The qualities of living with Divine Presence are: Bliss, Beauty and Serenity

Bliss

This is the highest state of spiritual consciousness we can achieve and still remain in our body. It is the blessing of the Christ Light and the Holy Spirit and it creates the space within us where we live in the grace of God. In this space we know at the heart of all things, that all is well regardless of how they seem to appear. We no longer become hooked into the dramas and enmeshments that create frustration and anger. We fully accept life as a miracle. This state is often called enlightenment as we have a direct experience of who we are. It is a perfect state of peace, acceptance and compassion. We have no craving, anger, desire or fear in this state…..that is the stuff of the external, and has replaced by the experience of complete oneness with all of life. Bliss is the inner space where we are untouched by the mundane and still carry out our daily tasks. We live our lives in the moment and respond with love rather than reactivity when we are challenged. As we being to acknowledge and live the higher purpose our lives, we begin to walk the path of destiny. In this state we cultivate love, compassion and truth and we are not only co-creating our best life, we are doing so in a reality of wholeness.

Beauty

Beauty is intrinsic to our being; it is the shining light of our soul emanating through us into the world around us. It is a quality that comes from God when we live our deepest connection with life; we are beautiful regardless of what the external manifestation appear to be. It couples the warmth of spirit with the qualities of love, peace and serenity. Beauty is a reflection of our soul… simply a clear reflection of who we are. It is never a well-made, cold object, but is something that is permeated with spirit. It is an experience of grace manifesting in form. It contains within it a feeling, a vision or an object made with love and potential in our abilities to create and the potential of all around us. To the ancients’ beauty was considered to be a virtue enabling people to forget, momentarily, their mundane existence and see the higher good and reflection of God. Beauty is a metaphor for the inner truth of our being.

Serenity

Serenity brings such delight and happiness in our lives. This is a state of quietness that combines the joy of harmony and the peace of tranquility. It is an inner place that reflects our highest truths, deep abiding love for the self and compassion and love for others. It implies absolute acceptance what is. It has a fragrance of its own that is a rare perfume that calms our senses and assuages our appetites. Serenity is a spiritual quality and a goal worth cultivating in the disquiet of our busy lives. It holds the world steady, and keeps our tasks proportional to our capabilities when creating our best life. It is never reactive or overbearing; it is a state of mind that soothes, heals and sustains. Choosing a path of serenity as a lifestyle requires a willingness to embrace the highest truth that everything is in perfect order, and God is working in everything, even the chaos we see in the world. It is possible to remain in a serine state when we reflect on the Divine presence and know we are carried in love by the great spiritual forces of creation. We need simply to ease down and relax in self-acceptance and non-judgment. It is a way of saying yes to life, yes to the moment, yes to how it feels, saying yes with gratitude and love.

May we all choose and affirm the power of the Holy Spirit working in our life and as we evolve into mature spiritual beings may we experience how God illuminates and transposes our lives to higher ground with each challenge we face, each act of love we offer, and each moment we are aware. May we unite our consciousness with God as we embody the Christ Light allowing this light to strengthen our body, affirm our worth, and honor our choices for creating our best life. In choosing this light, we honor the light in everyone we meet and may the collective light of all humanity radiate into the world.

It is my hope that this series of writings has in some way transformed any limiting understanding of reality into an expanded awareness of how spirit works within each of us and I hope that they make your world richer and your life happier. I hope that they have given each of us the opportunity to look deeply into the truth of our being, know our thoughts, strengths and weaknesses and our purpose so we can indeed create the life we desire.

I hope you found the attributes for creating our best life supportive in moving through what is dank and old, and unloving in our consciousness and to enlighten us to the nature of compassion, love and healing, transforming what has been perhaps previously outside of the realms of reconciliation. Take whatever resonates with you from these writings and make them your own. Thank you for taking the time to read them and for sharing them with your friends and love ones.

Happy Spring!

I spend a lot of time in nature; I so enjoy the beauty of nature’s transformation, speaking to me in soft whispers and in some cases bold declarations. She calls on me to gaze in awe at her splendor. I am enticed by her beauty; in fact I adore her, idolize her, and even court her. As the seasons change this transformational beauty seduces all of my senses offering me a symphony of colors with every sunrise and sunset and reveals to me her brash power through a storm at sea. This beauty calms me with floral scents and excites my aural lust through the passionate sounds performed by her orchestra.

Many times I try to capture this beauty’s essence in a photograph or painting, and still she is nowhere to be found. I suspect nature’s beauty will forever inspire works of art for many, and she will always pose for her portrait, seemingly selecting the artists most worthy of her catching her likeness…..smiling. I’m not a very good photographer or painter for that matter; I do however hold these images in my memories.

My memories relay to me that depending on personal tastes, nature’s beauty can be found in every color, flavor, scent, and texture. She lives among the poor, as well as the rich, she is at home in the city, as well as the country, decorating skylines as well as landscapes.

Nature is the ultimate shape shifter, transforming into a weather beaten barn beloved by someone and an awesome testament of ancient architecture revered by another. Her beauty knows no bounds, and we can find her everywhere. All we have to do is look for beauty, and she is there. 
“Happy Spring” my friends……may blessings of happiness and joy be with you.

“Creating Our Best Life” 5/7

“Creating Our Best Life”

I thought I would write a few articles on this topic and this is the fifth in the series.

Synchronistic moments are when destiny and fate meet one another and good things happen. We call such moments miracles. They seem to align with our intentions for the highest good to unfold. These moments create opportunities for healing and love to flow in and through us and they remind us that there is a far higher power than our small edited ego, working within the Universe for the good of all.

We can create our best life by paying attention to these moments and by harnessing our will forces. This practice keeps us stable during change and keeps us from losing ourselves in enthrallments and diversions. Awareness helps us keep our minds open to endless new ideas which release the realm of possibilities into the world of manifestation when we choose something we want in our life. We must be encouraged to communicate our deepest feelings and longings without censure and without fear.

Another thing we need to remember in creating our best live, and in order for that to come about is that we will need to speak our highest truth about what we want, what we feel and how we hope to live our life from the highest and best place we can imagine. Our soul and our spirit know the truth of us better than we do; they know what is hidden, buried and needs to come forward in the light of freedom.

These are the qualities that define an individuated person, someone who can hear and follow their inner guidance, and is able to express their truth with love, clarity and compassion; they know the value of truth and are always living in integrity with themselves.

Integrity and Truth

Integrity means whole and integrated. We are whole and at one with ourselves when we live in the truth of who we are; when we live in alignment and resonate with our spirit. Integrity is the ethical code by which we live; expressing our truth and being honest with others. As we move into more awareness, we will have opportunities to rethink the diversions that at times kept our truth suppressed and bridge the gap between feelings of the heart and thoughts of the mind. When we expand our self-expression it strengthens us and gives us the power to be our authentic self with others. We control our life force energy through our thoughts and actions as well as our words. We are not born with integrity we cultivate it…..Integrity is the mark of a good, true and loving person.

Creativity

In the modern world the truth has been the victim of suppression. For people who have not expressed themselves authentically it takes a great deal of fortitude and courage. Another way to increase the life force energy to live our best life is through creative media such as singing, painting, music, dance or any other ways we can showcase our unique and special self. Creativity is an avenue to higher-consciousness.

Communication

Clear communication reflects the best of our ability to share ourselves. It reflects emotional maturity and a level of detachment from embarrassment or timidity that stands in the way of sharing ourselves. The more clearly we speak our truth, express our needs and open the door for dialogue, the more clearly our spirit expresses itself though us and we become the channel for higher spiritual forces to work through us. As we practice communicating from the soul level and through the heart, such communication with the higher powers is as simple as it is with those around us. This aspect of communication is to develop a rich capacity to be able to share clear communication with articulation, defined and to become genuinely responsible for sharing the depths of our being with our Creator. It is through the power of speech that we offer up our petitions in prayer and speak our truth to others.

Willpower

Will is our volition in action. We want to create a strong will that can withstand temptation. The will is the strongest part of our nature; it is sacred and honors the way in which we have formed our individuality. It protects us from giving ourselves away, it strengthens our ability to do the tasks at hand, and it supplies us with the strength and focus in the face of complexity that requires thinking and forethought.

Will informs the choices that we make about what we want in life. It takes a strong will to be positive and affirming in all circumstances and it goes against the common, collective belief that we are not good enough to have what we want. Will says we shall accomplish our striving for empowerment, personal growth and healing. It asserts that we will be positive, capable and responsible advocates for the good. Will strengthens our resolve to see something through to the end.

We develop our will through acts of self-discipline; it is developed through trials and challenges. Will is directly linked to the I AM principle that defines the souls nature. If our spirit is to be strong and discerning it wants a sense of self-mastery. Will is our signature of our ability to stand upright, speak our truth and live in freedom regardless of the external circumstances. It allows us to trust in ourselves and know that we are capable, and able to persevere in life.

May we all open our hearts, may we speak out, tell our truth and sing our song. May we remember that we are all Holy children of God, held in love and honored for our unique contribution to life. May we be guided in our lives to greater consciousness, deeper truths and beautiful expressions of ourselves.

“Creating Our Best Life” 4/7

“Creating Our Best Life”

I thought I would write a few articles on this topic and this is the fourth in the series.

There is a "higher love" that is our life force energy and this love is not the ordinary love of this world. This love is the center of our lives; the heart is the center of our life force energy. It radiates from our heart which is the sacred chamber of love, and the temple of the Divine presence within us. It is the truth of our being and the conduit for love to flow through us. It never forgets an act of kindness or a moment of love and stores the memories of love deep within its hidden chambers. It is forgiveness that sets the heart free from the bondage of anger, hate or enmity and as we heal the wounds of the heart we release and forgive so we can return to love. We create our best life and increase the flow of our life force energy as we free ourselves from emotional pain and forgive hurt allowing love to flow as the mighty river it is. To live our best life, we must feel the flow of love to be fulfilled no matter how that is expressed…..love recognizes itself only in love.

By choosing this Divine love and letting it live within us, it will keep our spirit strong. As we create the intention to claim this love it becomes easier to allow it into our being; to embrace the wonder of love and to become aware of the times we feel separate from the source of love. At those moments we must accept and allow life to bring us new experiences of the miracles of love in our ordinary daily life. Asking the simple question, “What would love do now?” empowers and encourages us to cultivate a belief in ease and to trust a higher spiritual wisdom for the experiences we have and assist us to be clear about our choices for love. Below are a few of the attributes we might cultivate when we choose to live in love as love.

Create the Dream
Our dreams embody all of our longings and desires. They hold the promise of love through our spiritual connect as possibilities to be fulfilled. It is important to realize that we are co-creators with our source of all that is; and therefore there is nothing we cannot create in our life. If we are love then it is love that we will call to us. In fact our spiritual evolution intensifies each time we claim our good through calling to us that which we want and desire. By allowing our dreams the time and space to unfold we gain clarity about what we want and give them the opportunity to manifest. Claiming them is how our dreams come true.

Positive Intentionality
Intentionality is focus and clarity of mind, heart and body to claim a desired outcome. It draws to us that which we long for. It is a major component for manifesting our dreams into reality. It works to align our feelings and desires with our hopes for our highest good and greatest joy. Intention lets us consciously claim that which we want is manifesting with each positive thought. Back up our dream life with an absolute knowing, having faith that they will manifest and feel the love and gratitude.

Faith
Faith lives in our hearts to remind us that faith can move mountains. It is the essential ingredient for our hopes and dreams to manifest. Faith tells us we have the power to claim our good now. Faith sees us through our challenges and reminds us that we are all Divine children, capable of co-creating our best life. Faith gives us the courage to carry us through the deserts and out of the shadows into living our best life. Having faith in our Creator to see us though challenges have faith in our angels to bless our life and have faith in our self and in life itself. Faith is the guiding light.

Gratitude
Allow gratitude to fill our heart with a sense of plenty and abundance. This will bring us release from disappointment; sets our spirit free. It helps to appreciate and honor life recognizing that there is good in all things and helps us to see all experiences as a blessing. Gratitude makes our life easier and lighter, easing the spirit of heavy burdens. This allows our spirit to soar in appreciation for all the good in our lives. When we are grateful we affirm who we are and we affirm life itself. I personally believe that gratitude is a leaping off point for manifestation; it opens the doors of our heart so we can receive more good in our lives.

Forgiveness
It is important when manifesting our best life that we place ourselves on a negativity diet. Listen to and watch empowering programs and news….try to stay away from anything or anyone that causes us to feel stressful. Forgiveness is currency for the soul. Without it we would accumulate so many negative experiences we would crumble under the weight we carry. WE would suffer the most by not being able to love freely. Our heart would be heavy with anger, negativity and stubbornness. We forgive for the sake of love. Forgiveness releases our heart from the burdens of negativity. It sets the spirit free and opens the heart once again to love freely, and allows our life force energy once again to resume its natural flow.

Release and Letting Go
These two attributes helps us to consciously release and let go of all that is unlike love. Through gracious love we are able to let go of suffering and hardship and find our way back to living our best life. For our life force energy to thrive in our heart center we must be willing to let go of the past; divest ourselves of worries and burdens and allow love into our hearts. Simply set the intention to let go and allow your heart to melt into love. This one action will bring in the joys of love again and the ablility to express it fully.

Remembering
Remembering floods our psyche with positive memories of love and moments of nurturing when we experienced the grace of love living within us. We all have such memories, I call them “golden nuggets”. We can access these memories when we want to be reminded of love and as we honor our memories our spirit feels renewed and lightens up. Memories of love soften our heart and help us to remain grateful for what we have experienced. Loving memories are sacred to the soul because they contain the life force energy which is love. We can draw upon them at any time we need to remember love.

May we live Love as Love from the heart and add new meaning to our lives. May we all create a life that makes the heart sing with joy. May we follow the dreams of our heart and invoke the power of love that moves us even beyond the power of reason. May we know that living our best life is always love; in one form or another.

True and Equal Justice for All.

Prejudice is a form of untruthfulness; and untruthfulness is an insidious form of injustice

As individuals we tend to understand ourselves, and to explain our actions to others, in ways that are self-justifying. We try to present ourselves in a good light, as if to recruit others to personal supporters. The same thing happens at a societal scale. The dominant ideology always favors beliefs and behavior of the people in that society and often based on falsehoods. It is false to think that elitists societies which stigmatize a large portion of the population as inferior according to genetic differences or ethnic backgrounds is capable of true and equal justice for all.

The assumption that today’s modern societies are a direct expression of human nature reflects a remarkable ignorance of the fact that throughout history humanity has existed as “anatomically modern” living in remarkably egalitarian societies with little or no sign of differences of in equality.

What is crucial is whether we find ourselves in a world in which we depend on cooperation or in a world where we have people appear supremely important and others almost worthless, in which we feel our outward wealth is taken as the marker of our inner worth and we all become highly sensitive to being put down and disrespected. Inequality brings us the worst in our society and our justice system.

Perhaps as we become more aware of the forces which shape human social behavior and the key role of inequality, we might realize that we have, as never before, the possibility of creating a society better for all of us. ….Love and Light Christina
