The effects of Gratitude

We all have something to be grateful for.  We all have the choice to find something to be grateful for.  Will you?

We have been programmed to find fault within all things and with all people.  We see what we THINK they should change, or what we THINK they should do.  We THINK we know what is best for them.  This is a superiority complex.  The negative MIND!  When we allow others to be who they are, and we maintain who we are, we are able to lift them up by doing nothing magical or extraordinary – we are simply in gratitude for their existence.  We allow them to be themselves, and we honor them for that.  This simple act of kindness reverberates within their soul.  They feel comfortable, they feel safe and they feel loved.  They do not feel less than, they do not feel belittled, they do not fall into victim mode. 

Ex. One of my employees fell down the other day.  She has bruises all over her body and struggles walking.  She has “bad” knees and thus moves around very slowly.  She has also been experiencing ascension symptoms of dizziness and vertigo while also caring for her aging mother.  Since her fall, she has been unable to drive to and from work.  So, I have been helping her each day.  This act of kindness in my mind is very small, but to her it is a big deal.  She regularly tells me she is sorry for being a burden.  My response is:  you are not a burden.  You are in need of help, so I am helping you.  In return I am grateful for your dedication to your clients.  I explain to her that she is taking care of her mom, by loving her mom, and I am doing the same for her. 

When I explained this to her, she was instantly uplifted.  Her demeanor changed and she felt relief b/c she now accepts that she is NOT a burden.  She also can feel my genuine love for her, and this raises her energy levels and moves her into a state of grace.  This may sound simple, or even trivial.  But how many of us feel this way?  How many of us feel like we are a burden to others when we need help?  I imagine pretty much all of us feel this way.  Do we feel down, do we feel ashamed for needing help?  Sometimes!  But, when the one helping provides encouragement and understanding to the one in need of help, we are able to pass along this humanitarian energy to them…and hopefully they will hold onto it and offer this same help to others whenever they are in need.     

How can we each be in service to others? 

By allowing others to be themselves.  By allowing others the chance to change their own lives because they see YOU being loving and kind. 

When we stay in the observer mode instead of the judging (EGO) mode we are able to maintain our own level of vibration…we stay true to our heart, we stay authentic to ourselves, and we freely give ourselves to whomever is in need without any need for reciprocation or reward.  Our reward is in the knowing that the energy we put out into the world, must be returned to us.  This doesn’t mean that it will come from the one we assisted, it will come in some other form from some other being.  The universe gives us exactly what we give it.  If we are giving love, we will receive love.  If we are giving judgement and criticism, we will receive this same criticism.  You may think this is simple, or you may think it is silly, or you may think this is just plain gibberish.  My comment to this is:  try it!  See what happens when you are nice to everyone.  See what happens when you stop criticizing others.  See what happens when you take sole responsibility for the energy that you share with the world.  You will see that the world responds in the most magical of ways. 

New people will show up in your life, or new opportunities will show up.  You will begin to express more gratitude b/c this being “kind” thing actually feels good.  Your compassion for others will burst forth and begin to transform them into more loving beings.  You don’t have to control them, or tell them what to do.  You simply have to show them what love looks like.

A space for love.

  When you look into another persons’ eyes, what do you see?   Do you see a pure reflection of light, of respect, of compassion, of reverence?   Do you feel warm, do you feel comfort, do feel safe and secure?   Can you say anything that you want without worry of how they will receive it?   This is the space where love resides.   It is in this light that all thoughts have the power to manifest love into being.   Often times we think of love as just words.   If someone tells us that they love us, we like how that feels.   And yet sometimes, the words don’t always match the feelings in their eyes?   If you look into someone’s eyes and you don’t see this love, how does that make you feel?   Do you feel mad, do you feel sad?   Do you feel like you have done something wrong?   In most cases, you will answer “yes”.   This is a space in which you need to heal because you feel as though you are unworthy of their love.  ...

Universal Laws and waking up!

  Consciousness Is being transformed right before our eyes.   With all of the revelations that have come out, and all that is about to be shared over the next few weeks/months, we are seeing a major transformation within people.   Those that have been “on the fence” about all of this are actually starting to believe it…and those whom have remained asleep and in denial, they are about to get a very rude awakening!   It will only feel this way to them, as it was their choice to remain blinded by their own ignorance!   No judgement – just truth.   I have had many years to gradually integrate these dark subjects.   For those that haven’t, the pain of TRUTH will create many internal and external outbursts!   Some people will find it hard to continue living.   The goal for those of us who are awake is to maintain situational awareness, be mindful of how others are reacting, and to hold space for them as they come to grips with the enormity of the...

Creating a new dream!

Every day feels more and more like a dream.  I spend almost all of my time alone, and within this space is the freedom to feel all of the energies swirling around in the “air”.  As I feel these energies, I am reminded of how we each must take responsibility for our reactions, and more specifically, our thoughts. The outer world is constantly influencing how we experience this life.   When something goes “wrong” we lash out, we blame, we call ourselves horrible names, and we call others even worse.   There are so many people speaking in such a negative way -   it is quite painful.   I hear how they perceive the world, I feel the words that they speak.   And then I wonder, “how are we going to change this behavior”?   How can I make a difference in how these people SEE the world?   And then, I step back and realize that the only way to really be of service to these people, is to show them the mirror of what is possible.   I am the mirr...
