Meditation Monday: Prosperity and Plenty

Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? And why are you worried about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin, yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these. Matthew 6:26-29 This past Saturday I joined a group of hundreds to experience the “Lilies of the Valley” consciousness facilitated by Rev. Dr. Michael Beckwith. Amidst the spiritual practices and transmission exercises I captured affirmations that were spoken or inspired within my Soul. Allow these words of Truth to inspire your own insights and open the something Greater within you that knows All is God and All is Well. I allow being prosperous to be okay. Prosperity is my norm....

Meditation Monday: Rockin’ and Rollin’ … Literally

I woke up this morning to my walls wiggling, bed shaking, and trinkets dancing along the bookshelf. There was a 4.7 earthquake with its epicenter just a few miles from where I am living. Nothing like an earthquake to wake me up and get me active in a life inventory. As Mediation Monday, I knew today I would meditate throughout the day on WHO I am, WHAT I am doing, and WHY I am doing it. This is an active part of intentional living; knowing the WHY, or purpose behind what I do. Today’s meditation is to be awake to what is, why I’m engaged in what is, and how I show up for it. Today I took my elderly friend on a tour of Hollywood and laughed, learned stories of those who went before us and saw beautiful homes. WHY I did this was to feed my Soul that loves history. And, to be with a friend I adore. How I did this was with humor and...

Meditation Monday: Connecting with The NEW

Welcome to a NEW Meditation Monday Meditation. Welcome to the NEW moment in your life. New, improved, fresh, current. New, New, New, New. I love the word new even though it is overused in our culture and typically associated with wanting to sell something. New means something hasn’t been before. As spiritual beings we are constantly living in the energy of NEW as each moment, each now is literally new. It has never existed before and never will again. Our Infinite Self meets the finite self through time and space in form. The form, moment, insight, relationship with life is new at this very moment. Our bodies renew and rebuild themselves constantly. According to www.lifescience.com, red blood cells live for four months and white for over a year. Skin cells live two to three weeks. Colon cells replace themselves every four days and sperm cells every three. Our bodies are doing the ‘new.’ I am keenly aware that this is the first Monday in Lent. Lent is...

Spiritual Insights on The Super Bowl

My big confession up front. I’m not much of a football fan. Another confession, I am a HUGE Seattle fan and my love of Seattle has overridden my neutrality for The Sport. I have found myself counting down the days until the big game on Sunday. I’m talking about it with strangers. I have a reservation made at a sports bar with my daughter and some friends for the big event. I have my Seahawks temporary tattoos ready for application; I am invested. So, today while in meditation, I pondered about this new compulsion to watch Sunday’s game. I decided to compare the little I know about football with what I know about spirituality. Here goes — Insight Number 1: At some point in our life, each of us will play the role of each major position of the game. Starting with the team owner. Each one of us has held the responsibility at some level of managing financial or relationship investments we have made. We know what...

How to Live from Bliss, Thick Beauty, Creativity

Check out to what filmmaker David Lynch has to say about the benefits of meditation and what is in the Field of Pure Consciousness (I would call God). Some quotes from Lynch … “If you have a golf ball size consciousness, you will have a golf ball size understanding.” “Enlightenment is the full potential of all of us human beings.” “A side effect of this Consciousness is that negativity starts to recede.” “It’s money in the bank to get that beautiful consciousness growing … intuition grows … it is a field of Pure Knowingness … it’s like an ocean of solutions.” “The enjoyment of life grows, HUGE!” “People look like friends, not like enemies.” “You can vibrate with this bliss.” I have been a meditator now for ummmm…eighteen years, maybe. The daily practice for me of going beyond the realm of thought, feeling and perception and into the Consciousness of One has ripened my beingness and softened me. Enjoy the video and I’ll meet you in The...
