Monday, May 28th, 2012 Focus: I look for, and find, spiritual guidance everywhere and at any time.
Look for spiritual guidance everywhere and at any time… Spiritual guidance is not restricted to one area, or one particular day, or one particular time of the day.
While you may be more open to receiving your guidance in the quiet hours of the early morning, or the late night, your spiritual guidance is always present. It is present in books that you ‘happen’ to come across, articles you are attracted to reading, things you hear that when looked at from that perspective apply to your situation.
Perhaps if we expected to receive spiritual guidance at each and every moment of our lives instead of simply in church on Sunday, or when we sit quietly in meditation, we would receive many more messages throughout the day.

Saturday, May 19th, 2012 Focus: Is this bringing me peace? Am I willing to let go of this?
Certain situations can sweep us up and swirl us around in a whirlwind until we feel we have fallen to the ground.
These may be emotional situations and I am not suggesting that you hide your emotions, as they are there to be experienced. However, see whether you could take a moment to draw back so that you can see the situation more clearly.
If you realize you are being carried away by negative thoughts, bring your awareness back to your breath and ask yourself, ‘Is this bringing me peace? Am I willing to let go of this?’

Thursday, May 17th, 2012 Focus: I step into the healing light of love and recognize that I deserve only love.
| Thursday, May 17th, 2012 Focus: I step into the healing light of love and recognize that I deserve only love. A Course in Miracles distinguishes between a sin and an error: a sin requires punishment, but an error simply requires correction. The Course goes on to tell us that we have made many errors, but we have never sinned. All of our sins (“Self-Inflicted Nonsense”) are undone the moment we step into the healing light of love. All self-judgment can be undone by recognizing that we deserve only love. Excerpted from: Goof Off! Erasing All Sin (Self-Inflicted Nonsense) by Alan Cohen. Read more of this article here.

Saturday, April 28th, 2012 Focus: I let go of all self-judgments.
For years, I looked at myself through the prism of trying to “fix” myself. It was subtle, out of sight, like a current underneath the smooth surface of a river, but it was altering the flow of my life.
I look at my life differently now. I know that our attempts at fixing are bound to fail, because they are based on judgment — the judgment that something is wrong with the way we are.
We can course-correct, we can grow and learn, experience and explore, discover and discern what’s right for us and what is not. But there is nothing to fix. Like the world around us, we are perfectly imperfect just the way we are.
Excerpted from: There Is Nothing to Fix: Discovering & Accepting Who I Am by Agapi Stassinopoulos.

Saturday, April 14th, 2012 Focus: What could I appreciate about this person?
When you blame another or criticize his mistakes, regardless of whether your blame and criticisms are accurate or not, you are hurting yourself. When you praise or appreciate another, regardless of whether she “deserves” your praise and appreciation or not, you are benefiting yourself.
Consider any person that you had blamed for your upsetness. Ask yourself, “What could I appreciate about that person now?” Don’t stop asking until you have at least one good answer — one that you know is good because it brings you a sense of peace and joy.
The next time you find yourself in the midst of blaming or criticizing another, see it as an opportunity to do yourself a favor and shift your awareness to appreciation. Ask yourself, “What could I appreciate about this person?” Again, don’t stop asking until you have at least one good answer.

Saturday, April 7th, 2012 Focus: I choose to be fearless and advance into the unknown.
There is nothing to fear — not change, not the unknown — as long as you are prepared to be flexible.
As Franklin Delano Roosevelt said during his first inaugural address in 1933, “the only thing we have to fear is fear itself: nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.”
It’s time to be fearless and advance.

Thursday, April 5th, 2012 Focus: I assist the healing of the earth by healing myself and others…
The Great Healing that is upon us is the healing of the earth and all her beings. We can assist that healing by healing ourselves and others with plant spirits.
When we come into alignment with our true nature, a shift in consciousness takes place and we align with the larger nature. In this alignment there is no room for unsustainable living where the earth is regarded as a commodity to be used as we see fit.
As Deep Ecologist John Seed says, “The change that is required of us is not some new resistance to radiation, but a change in consciousness.” Our healing, then, is the healing of the earth.
