Is it dark?

13418542_10202308645672940_4105461760306272612_oThe darkness can seem overwhelming and insurmountable but this is just a perception because the darkness like the light is only what we make it.

The darkness can be a time to go inside rest and renew your spirit and your resolve. What do you do with darkness? Stop and disconnect, Turn off the social media, make a plan to replenish your soul with good food, reading and nature.

Sometimes the darkness comes from an unhealthy place either externally or internally in the way of actions, words, and thoughts. This is when the darkness is unhealthy  and counterproductive.

So what do you do with this type of darkness? You first stop what you are doing notice the darkness and say “Stop, end of this story,” then you replace the negative with four positive statements or truths about the false condition. You don’t have to dispell the darkness you just have to change it’s energy to a positive vibration.

“Peace and Dignity journeys occur every four years and start with Indigenous runners on opposite ends of the continents (Chickaloon, Alaska and Tierra del Fuego, Argentina). They run for six months where the run through hundreds of Indigenous communities where they participate in their respective spiritual practices and traditions; spark dialogue on the issue of Peace and Dignity for Indigenous peoples; model their responsibility to Mother Earth, Father sky, communities, and themselves; and receive the communities prayers. These prayers and conversations are then carried to proceeding communities until the runners reach the center of the hemisphere. When the runners meet in the Kuna Nation Panama City, Panama, it will symbolize all Indigenous Peoples joining together in a spiritual way to manifest the Prophecy of the Eagle and the Condor.”

 

Driving is a partnership

seven-driver-types_london-school-of-economics_01Everyday there is a chance to grown and affect the world around you. My friend gave me permission to share her post about affecting change.

Most of you will not know that I have been, for as long as I can remember, a total asshole driver. Yesterday I had the realization that if I want to change the way I am in the world, I have to change the way I am when I drive. I spend so much time driving that I have gotten a lot of practice being an asshole, and I’m ready to start practicing something way more joyful. So I just drove to the Bay Area beaming love to everyone the whole way:
We are all in this together, moving along in this river of beings toward our destination.
I love you all.
I support you in your journey.
I wish you freedom from all attachment and aversion.
2.5 hours of that.
I feel like a freakin miracle right now.
This is changing my life already.

Split your heart, lose everytime

split-heart-icon-45015
Your heart is a sacred space meant to hold yourself and those who hold you in theirs.

Your heart is not meant to be split, if you split it then all those things you hold dear especially yourself will fall to pieces on the floor.

As the saying goes, “If you love two people at the same time, choose the second one because if you really loved the first one you wouldn’t have fallen for the second one.”

Your Helpful Words Hinder

635903296903544511-17105702_201211-orig-deepak-chopra9-949x534You have heard this, read it or even said it, You can’t find love until you learn to love yourself.

To suggest this is to imply that someone can’t love what other perceive as your imperfections but that one person might see as the total traits that make you who they fall in love with. To suggest only a person who accepts everything about themselves first can then find love is unfair to that person because you have suggested a limit to that person’s happiness. The individual who comes into someone’s life might just be the person who helps that person heal or deal with those traits that have caused them trouble in their life. You know sometimes it takes the power of two to help you love all the things about you. Just look around and at yourself, how completely healed and in love are people or you but yet have a relationship?

Make sure your words are helpful and you are just not repeating the phrases and facebook quotes that you read before you understand the nature of the human journey. If you truly can’t be helpful without judgment then just don’t say anything.

It’s better to be silent and have people assume you’re a fool than to open your mouth and erase all doubt.

Claim your body

292-claim-it_870x400_1-870x400Claim your body and regain your power!

When people suffer abuse it robs them of their personal power. The abuse affects how they see themselves and how they see their body.

There is a shaming that happens both on an emotional level and a physical level. Internal work, the soul work, and understanding the process of the person abused can help to free a person of some of the issues associated with this abuse but if the body is not part of the process then no unity can be found in healing.

Internal work, the soul work, and understanding the process of the person abused can help to free a person of some of the issues associated with abuse.

The body has to be part of the process and the negative feelings attached to the human vehicle our soul travels in must be addressed.

If you don’t claim your body then your soul is lost inside. Understanding the power of your body and taking control of it once again brings unity to your healing.

Existential Bummer

Existential Bummer -Jason Silva –

“Man is literally split in two: he has an awareness of his own splendid uniqueness in that he sticks out of nature with a towering majesty, and yet he goes back into the ground a few feet in order blindly and dumbly to rot and disappear forever”
-Ernest Becker.

They’re Beside Us

healthy_feet We follow in our ancestor’s footsteps. They are not behind us or in the past, they are beside us as the example of the path we must follow.

Our ancestors learned the best way to live in unison with the universe and left this knowledge to us so that we did not struggle as they did, but to many times, the newer generations think they know better because things are different and technology has advanced. The basic function of how to be in balance with the universe and your surroundings does not change. The order of the universe is set by divine spirit to work in perfection if we follow the rules of nature.

So look to your ancestors for guidance and embrace the new only if it improves your balance with the universe. At some point, our ancestors leave this reality and they are not left behind nor are they gone at this point they walk beside us giving us guidance as we become the elders leaving the right footsteps for the next generation to follow.

Fight or Flight or Maybe Just DEAL

this_was_a_timely_capture_3926001309

If you are always operating from the mode of Fight or Flight when you are triggered then it is time to take control. Set your intention to pay attention to the trigger when it starts before your body reacts. Now that you are aware of the trigger started choose to step back and examine the trigger and learn to Heal or Deal with it calmly and normally. This can be accomplished easy or hard it depends on what you believe it will take.

Be Radical With Bounderies

Be radical with your life! Don’t let the unjust boundaries of life and others stop you from living a magnificent life.

Don’t fear being great or listen to the voices of those who do fear greatness. Be the force of nature you are destined to be.
