Align With the Source of Your Soul, All There Is

photoWe are wanting you to know that you are neither here nor there. Neither up nor down. Neither right nor wrong. For there is no position except that which you perceive in your time space continuum. This is not the truth of who you are. The truth of who you are is vibration and light.

Even that which you perceive as negative is vibration and, thus, light. And so you are dallying around the questions of is this right? Is this wrong? Is this good? Is this bad? And these are not the questions that allow you to attain that which you most desire: Love.

Consider questions of how does this feel? What does this feel like inside of me? Is this what I want to feel? What do I want to feel? For you see, the answer is not the same for each and every person. For the answers are as unique as people in the world. For your soul may want to align with peace and love and joy, and yet the way your soul chooses to align is through the discovery of dramas you play out in your lives with others who are choosing to learn with you. For you see, your soul may desire the feeling of anger nee frustration for the sake of experiencing extreme joy. (Image of a pimple popping– the explosion is an ecstatic release.)

For you see, sometimes it is through the comparisons of vibrations, the contrasts of vibrations through which you learn. And for how can this be good or bad, right or wrong? For it is the vibrational experience through which your soul aligns.

And for the sake of this discussion, let us choose to focus on aligning with your soul purpose.

Do you truly know that which you want or are you simply aligning with that which appears present in your life? Have you merely been caught up in the vibrational flow of everything around you: people, places, environments, things? Or have you sat in the seat of your soul? Consciously searched, aligned with your passion and imagined bringing that to life? And if all you can do is dream it, fantasize, visualize, consider, explore, learn, discuss, taste, experience, then begin there and experience the joy of it.

For you see, through the immersion of your consciousness in whatever level of engagement your current life seems to allow, you are able to create the energy pathways through which your soul vibration can shine and align.

And this is what we are encouraging you to do on this day of love.

As the energy is shifting in the next few weeks, we are encouraging you to know what your soul wants to bloom and encourage you to give this gift to yourself. And to know that at whatever level of your experience you find yourself, you can align closer and closer and closer to your divine soul energy–the source of your love for yourself and all there is.

And so it is.

 

Seeds of Love

Are you readyRecently, I was working with a client, and the message that came through was so beautiful that I wanted to share with everyone.  My client graciously offered the story for the blog.  Thanks so much! 

My client said she’d received many indications that her grandmother was trying to give her a message and asked if I could find out what Grandma Mary was trying to tell her.

Grandma Mary asked:  What are you planting in your life?  Then she flashed pictures of a row in a garden being planted.  Each seed being placed in the soil, pressed down, and covered up.  Then she stood back and watched the plants grow.  Some grew and some didn’t.  Grandma Mary looked at my client and asked:  What are you planting with love?  Then she turned back to look at the field of crops.  Some of the plants were growing and some weren’t.  There was just a blank space.

My client admitted that she was doing some things without love.

Then Grandma Mary flashed a picture of my client casting seeds, as if she were spinning in a circle.  She asked:  How much are you planting?

My client admitted she’s doing many things.  Some she does with complete love and joy.  Then after reflection, she said, and I’m doing some things with love, but I am frustrated that others aren’t helping me.

There’s a rub. 

I know in my own life, I’ve committed to a lot of things, and I was doing them with all of my heart.  And after a while, it frustrated me that others weren’t participating in what I perceived as wholeheartedly. I don’t really know how to do things half-heartedly. And I had moments in which I felt I was carrying the load.  My issue wasn’t with the other people.  It was with myself.  You see, I was committed to so many things and doing them all with a full heart, and I was committed to too many things, so I was tired.  Out of balance. When I am committed wholeheartedly in a balance manner, I never notice what others are or aren’t doing because I am moving forward in love of self, in love of what I’m doing, in love with others, in love with the world.  

I asked my client:  Why does it bother you that others aren’t helping as you wish they would? Do you want to commit to this thing?  Are you committed to too many things?  Are you committed in balance with love for yourself? 

She admitted that in one area of her life, she was doing too much.  Then she had an epiphany, saying:  I really love two events.  I’d like to commit to chair those events and allow someone else to step up for leadership on the board.

What fantastic clarity! 

Grandma Mary then said, I decide what I’m going to do.  Then she flashed a picture of her pressing her lips together in a firm smile, and she made me feel how grounded she was to that spot, to the Earth—to what she wants.  It was clear–no one was going to push Grandma Mary into doing something she couldn’t do with love.  Then she walked back to her garden to plant with love.

Grandma Mary provided a wonderful reflection for all of us.

What are you “planting” in your life without love?  Is this what you want to plant your energy in?  Will this energy/effort grow, bear fruit for you?  Have you scattered your energy seeds too thin?  How does this affect you?  Can you shift—choose to plant everything in your life with love, no matter what others invest?

Do others move you to plant seeds you don’t want to plant?  Is this energy working for you? Do you resent investing energy in plants that will never bear fruit for you? Is this where you want to plant your energy?

Do you have the courage to plant only what you can infuse with love?

What do you plant with wholehearted love?  How does it grow, energize you?  How does it fill your life with love?

My husband has always been a gardener.  When we were first married, I always thought of spring as the time for planting.  April showers bring May flowers, right?  He always wanted to do major planting in the Fall.  He taught me that Fall is a great time for planting too, especially trees and other plants that appreciate time to get their roots settled and acclimated and energy stored up over the Fall and Winter, so that in spring, they are fully rooted in the soil and share the most magnificent blooming in Spring. He showed me that what we plant in Fall really comes to life in Spring.

Grandma Mary reminds us that planting our lives with love is essential to growth. What seeds of love do you want to plant this Fall? 

Thanks, Grandma Mary, for this beautiful message.

The Resonance Project Resonance.isWhether you are weathering storms or floating through your life with joy and ease, know that you are exploring the world and yourself. Feel fully into each phase of being, whether joy or sadness. Whether work or play. Whether pain or fun. In each experience, you are opening up the fullness of who you are.

Relish each experience as with each, you are able to feel your vibrational alignment expand.  When you are in peace and love and joy and pleasure and fun, the alignment feels so graceful. It occurs with ease.  Flow simply carries you along, and you delight in the experiences.

What would happen if you would choose to open to the fullness of all experiences without judgment? To experience pain or sadness with the fullness of heart that you allow for joy and peace. How might the experiences you judge as not so great change if you simply flowed into them without judgments?  Might you be able to experience the shift or change, the new perception with a lighter sense of ease?

Does the pain of loss allow you to witness other’s loss with a more full heart? Notice how each experience shifts you to love. How do you return to love from each experience? For every experience in the range of experiences, the 360 degree circle of experiences, allows you to return to love–to be in love with yourself and others.  And sometimes the journey takes a while. And so it is. And when you return to the place when you have love in your heart once again, notice, feel into it, see how your heart space has actually expanded and allowed you to feel more joy, peace, love, balance.  Each experience holds the opportunity for opening your heart center and more vibrations of love. It (the vibration of love, the experience of love) becomes more all-encompassing as you allow love to permeate all experiences.

So what is hurt, but the desire for love?

For what is pain, but the desire for love?

For what is anger or frustration but the desire for love?

Underneath each emotion is the passion, the calling out, the reaching for love. In each moment, you can love yourself. The need for anger or pain or frustration, the feeling of loss simply tumbles from, reveals love. The more love of self registers, the more love of others registers with you. It seems a simple equation, and yet we know in our lives it can be far from simple to process.

How am I loving myself in this moment?

Are you, indeed, loving yourself? Or are you, indeed, expecting the love of others to fill you before you fill yourself with the love of self? For what love have you invested in yourself?  Have you allowed yourself the time, the energy, the resources to do that which you love to do, that which you do simply for yourself? How many moments of your day were invested in you?

Reach for the bucket and fill yourself up first. Start in the morning by awakening to the idea that I LOVE YOU.

I love myself. I am love. I am filled with love.

Can you see the love in yourself? Can you imagine it on a quantum level vibrating within you? Simply bringing your consciousness of your being to the love that resides within you and labeling it love for self–knowing it as love of self—shifts and changes so many dynamics.

And, yes, it may take a while to experience the shift of vibration of loving yourself in your own cells to loving yourself in your physical life. And yet speaking with self-love shifts so much and involves no one but you. No one but you and your thoughts, feelings and emotions. Your being. Simply acknowledge yourself for being alive.

Thank you, I love you. I am love. I feel love. I know love. I vibrate love. I love myself.

I am love.

Make these thoughts and then watch as the energy flows in your day. You may notice that you choose the 15 minutes of spare time you have to invest in yourself–to read or to play, to enjoy, to watch, to feel, to know yourself in some way. And filling yourself with love 10 or 15 minutes instead of choosing to give that time to others may appear as selfishness, and yet, dear one, in the long run, that investment in self will pay off ten-fold for the love you have for others.  For as you invest in the love of yourself, you’re less quick to angst, to anger, or to be frustrated with others. For when you can give to yourself, you need not others to fill your chalice or express disappointment. For as you build yourself up with love, you need not a crutch of what others do to lift you up.

And so we ask you to start here today: Imagining love in every one of your cells. Knowing the truth–that every cell in your body loves you. Is love. Loves seeing you. Loves being you. And as you acknowledge the love that exists in every cell, as you become conscious of this love that resides in you, you shift the world–not only for yourself but for all to experience love.

Join the revolution of love. Stand with yourself in love and be your number one.

Be your “I am Love.”

Love Songs

How do you speak to the person you are in love with?  What are some of the phrases you say to that person?  I love you. You are beautiful.  I love the way you make me feel. Thank you. I am so happy to be here with you. I can’t wait to spend time with you.  I love taking care of you.  What do you say about your loved ones to others?  He makes me so happy. She brings out the best in me. I want to be my best when I am with him.

Do you speak to yourself in similar ways?  Do you tell yourself I love you?  I am beautiful.  I feel good about myself.  Thank you.  I am happy to be me.  I can’t wait to do something for myself.  I love taking care of myself.  The things you say to yourself, about yourself are a reflection of your love for yourself.

Several years ago I had knee replacement, and during the recovery process, I went shopping with a friend. We found that we were at different racks, and we’d call out to the each other and hold something up, and it was the same shirt or dress. I was trying on a few things in the fitting room, and she brought a dress for me to try on. Here, she said. Try this on—you’ll look great in this. So, I tried the dress on. I did look good, but the dress was a little short for me. I walked out to show her and look in the mirror, and she said, Wow. You look amazing. 

Yeah, I said, I like it, but it’s short. I hate my knees showing. She said to me, if you talked about me like that, I’d want to be replaced too. Then she turned and walked away. I stood there looking in the mirror at my knees, and I suddenly realized what I had been telling them almost my whole life. Right there, as I stood looking at my knees in the mirror, I said, I’m sorry. I love you knees. Thank you for taking care of me on this journey. I sent them love. I bought the dress.

Every time I look at my knees, I say, thank you.  I love you. My perception of my knees as knobby goes back to when I was just a girl in dance class. But, now that I am telling them that I love them every chance I get, they are changing shape, they are so pleasing to me when I look at them.  I genuinely feel love for them. I feel their beauty.

What are you telling yourself during the day?  Do you say thank you?  Are you grateful for your body?  Do you appreciate your mind?  Your looks?  Your coordination?  Your energy?  How do you speak to yourself.  Would you stick around and listen to yourself or would you walk away if you could?  When you buy clothes, what are the things you think or mutter to yourself?  When you look in the mirror, what do you think?  What do you say to yourself when you forget something?  Take a wrong turn?  Misplace something?  Do you believe in yourself?  Do you encourage yourself?  Do you say, good job?  Yeah me?

Consider when you energize–verbalize or think–negativity about yourself, you release to the universe the message I don’t love myself. I don’t deserve to be loved, to hear love, to be thanked, to be honored, which is reflected back to you.

When you energize love to yourself in thought, action, word, you reflect to the universe your love for yourself, which is reflected back to you.  Intend to speak to yourself as you would to someone you love.

Everything you say to yourself has the potential to be a love song.  If you miss a turn or are running late, can you perceive that you will arrive in divine timing–at the perfect moment for you?  Imagine yourself walking in feeling confident that all is well. When you look in the mirror, can you choose to like what you see?  If you like what you see, you will engage more confidently, comfortably, lovingly in everything you do during the day. Can you find something to admire? I look like I feel good today. Imagine if you feel good about yourself throughout your day how others will feel good about you too.  If you get tired during the day, can you love your body for it’s work?  I worked so hard and am thankful for my body for doing everything it could to get me through.  I appreciate it signaling to me that I need to take care of it, myself, and rest. In moments when you feel stupid or awkward, can you perceive something different?  Thank your highest self for the opportunity to look at or feel something new, learn something new. Appreciate the opportunity to experience disequillibrium and learn balance. Saying something as simple I love learning changes the song you sing to yourself.

As you move through your week, I encourage you to think about the way you talk to yourself and be your own best friend, love and admire yourself. Engage your sense of humor and appreciation.  Value what you do. Value your efforts.  Appreciate who you are.  Love yourself enough to speak to yourself with love and respect.

Consider how your day might transform if every morning when you are getting dressed, brushing your teeth, fixing your hair, and looking in the mirror, you say to yourself, thank you.  I love you.  I appreciate you today.  And then intend to express appreciation and love to yourself all day long.  If you consciously intend to express love, kindness, gratitude and appreciation to yourself throughout the day, how might you feel differently by the end of the day?

This week, I encourage you to play your own love songs—through your thoughts, words and actions. You may realize that you need to record some new tracks.  You may realize you love yourself in some ways and have the opportunity to improve in others. When you love yourself, you send the message to the universe that you deserve love, and the universe will reflect that song back to you.   When you sing love songs to yourself, the world harmonizes with you.

I hope you fall in love with the melodies and tunes of your own thoughts, actions, and words.  I would love to hear how you harmonized with your own love songs this week.  Please keep me posted.
