How To Heal Relationships

Leave a comment

If you were going to die soon and had only one phone call you could make, who would you call and what would you say? And why are you waiting? – Stephen Levine

relationships

There isn’t a person alive who doesn’t have or hasn’t had challenges with relationships! The truth is that relationships are what life is all about. If everything was to disappear right now, from a spiritual standpoint the only thing that would matter would be people, memories and relationships. How can we heal relationships that are suffering?

2 ways

Here are 2 ideas that do work:

  1. Let’s drop our ego and call the person or persons we most need to talk to. Tell them how much we miss them and how much we’re losing out by not having a normal relationship… This has been known to work for some Smile!
  2. The Spiritual Triangle: Here’s an exercise that works powerfully to heal relationships behind the scenes! Here are the steps… 
    • Use prayer to connect with divinity. Now imagine 3 points of light in the mind’s eye.
    • Point A: Is a bright light in the region of our heart; Point B: Is a luminosity that depicts God or divinity. Point C: Is a bright light that represents the heart of the other person.
    • Make a ‘light’ connection between Point A (us) and Point B (God). Then connect Point B and Point C (the other person). Finally in a triangle connect all 3 points!
    • Imagine the light triangle between the 3 points as vividly as possible. This light is the love that connects everyone. This love heals all…
    • Now pray that this relationship be healed and imagine Point A, B and C merging into one brilliant light!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM healing all relationships!

What’s So Cool About NOW?

Leave a comment

13.22 … He watches, gives blessing, bears all, feels all. He is called the Lord Supreme and the Supreme Soul.

13.23 He who knows in truth this Spirit and knows nature with its changing conditions, wherever this man may be he is no more whirled round by fate. – The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 13)

here and now

Why are we instructed to stay in the moment when possible? Because in this moment eternity meets time and space. In this very moment God and divinity are present. At this time spirit and wisdom becomes accessible. Peace and joy are at hand.

Ok, so why can’t we feel and know all this good stuff??

attention

Pure attention is required. We must look at and experience things as they are. When done with pure attention, no thoughts about the thing or experience are generated inside our head. When that happens, the eternal moment and all its goodness starts to become apparent. Practice makes perfect. It’s a muscle that slowly grows and yields amazing results! Try it!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM fully attentive.

The Power Of Thought…

2 Comments

… the power of belief, the power of thought, will move reality in the direction of what we believe and conceive of it. If you really believe you can do something, you can. – Daisaku Ikeda

thought

As software is to computers, thoughts are to life. That much isn’t rocket science but it’s an important and pervasive principle. It’s a principle that we neglect and often overlook. I love what Mike Dooley and others have said about thoughts: THOUGHTS BECOME THINGS, lets choose them wisely! Let’s be the architects of our lives!

belief

Let’s become more aware of our central guidance system, which is our belief system. How do we approach life and situations?

Do we expect to…

  • Triumph over problems?
  • Always have enough?
  • Be healthy?
  • Have great relationships?
  • Live forever?

How To Manifest What We Need…

Leave a comment

Manifestation is an act of trust. It is the soul pouring itself out into its world, like a fisherman casting a net to gather in the fish he seeks; with each cast properly made, we will bring what we need to us, but first we must hurl ourselves into the depths without knowing just what lies beneath us. – David Spangler

need

We’ve heard this before. What we want may not be what we need. The aim of all life is beyond what we see and experience today. The aim of life is spiritual and god-ward. What we need right now is often not known to us. It’s known to a deeper part of self. That center is ever available and can be accessed readily by simply asking. It is Law that when we ask, the Universe must respond.

manifesting

To manifest we must trust. Trust what? Trust that we’re children of the infinite with creative attributes similar to our parent. We must not second guess or mistrust life. We must feel safe in this playground where we find ourselves. We must play and not care about failure. We must day-dream, i.e. visualize what me most need. And then we must take itty bitty steps towards the goals that are most dear. Success then, is guaranteed. Success even when the goal itself isn’t realized the way we imagined it….

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM trusting life.

Why It’s Possible…

Leave a comment

What I most want you to dream of, are possibilities that thrill you.

What I most want you to feel, is happy.

And what I most want you to know, is that you’re loved.

Always and forever… – The Universe

possibilities

According to some, God and the Universe are exploding the full potential and possibilities inherent in the individual nodules of creativity that are us! The realms of time and space are teaming with life, and in wonderment of all that is possible. When we dwell in a state of possibilities, we’re likely living to our full potential. And then all is well and functioning just as it should!

happiness and love

If we’re not happy, why is that? If we can’t experience love then no wonder we’re not happy. If we’re fearful of life and the future then what’s the meaning of this all? If we but realize that we are the very children of the Infinite One, then what can we even worry about? We are princes and princesses who live like paupers not realizing that our divine inheritance surrounds us. Let’s wake up to this liberating realization!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM a crown prince/princess!

Will We?

Leave a comment

But what do we know of the heart nearest to our own? What do we know of our own heart? – Amelia Barr

self

If we know self, we’ll know why we do what we do…we’ll know what pesters us and why, and we’ll know where we’re headed.

stillness

The perfect way to self-knowledge is via stillness. Such a practice quietens our mind, stills the electro-chemical currents in our being, and puts  us in touch with the very essence of it all.

5 minutes once or twice a day is all that it takes! Will we?

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM still.

What Is True Wisdom?

Leave a comment

13.2 Know that I am the knower in all the fields of my creation; and that the wisdom which sees the field and the knower of the field is true wisdom. – The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 13)

wisdom?

What is wisdom?

  • Is it an ability to understand things as they are?
  • Does it help in understanding origins and destinies?
  • Does it aid in living happily?

true wisdom

According to the supreme God personality speaking via The Gita true wisdom is when we realize that God is the ‘field’, the creation and that she’s the knower of her creation as well. God is the knower and that which is knowable.

God creates us to experience totality, to experience what she is, to enjoy being limited and thus finds a way to escape her infinity…We are her children in this eternal adventure, we have nowhere to go but to her, we are safe now and forever!

Daily Affirmation: Today I see what is.
