This Week’s Meditative Thought – Ready To Surrender

This week’s meditative thought is a challenge on the readiness of surrendering the control of your life. Are you ready to surrender? Are you ready to begin and experience the riches and treasures of the universe? As human beings, resistance is part of our DNA and to “surrender” seems counter intuitive. But growth begins when you turn your will and the care of your life over to a power greater than yourself, there is a freedom to relax, a freedom from the need to make “it” happen. God is in control of all things; we only need to step out of the way and allow him to do the God thing.

This Week’s Spiritual Assignment:

All this week, meditate to turn your life over to a power greater than yourself. Through prayer and meditation, cultivate your oneness with God. Take time in the stillness, clear your mind of external thoughts, and with every breath repeat the mantra, “I am one with God.”

Screenshot 2015-02-02 12.04.57 Love is the highest state of consciousness and it is the awareness of God in action. Being in a state of love is releasing the human condition of : lack, limitation, disappointment, fear, and worry, which block the flow of Love. This week we’ll aim for The practice of Love, to help free ourselves from the human condition. Love is connecting with the light within you and with someone else. The sorrow of the human condition would have us believe that love is not possible. That is a lie of the ego.

One of the intentions I speak about in yoga is opening up the heart and allowing yourself to love again. We must set the intention to practice Love. If there is a religion that I subscribe to, it is the religion of Love and Kindness.

Remember, what you send out is what you get back.

This Week’s Action Plan: Today, set the intention to The Practice of Love. When you find yourself operating from a place of fear, shift your thinking right away. Give yourself permission to love yourself. Allow your heart chakra to be open and filled with love. Forgive yourself for the fear that consumed your thinking and begin again.

Blessings,

This Week’s Meditative Thought – Remember to Remember

remember-to-remember-mediative Waking up is one thing, but staying awake is a completely different practice. As we approach the end of the first month of the year, we’ll tackle the theme of Remember to Remember for true change.

Remembering to remember our divine self can be more challenging than experiencing “Ah-Ha” moments. Each and every day there are eye-opening insights that activate evolution, but then comes the action required to implement true change. Once we begin the journey to shift, we must continue the work in order to remember. This could come from prayer, meditation, sacred study, fellowship, and self-contemplation. Set the intention to “remember to remember” every day.

For this week’s Remember to Remember Action Plan we want to set the intention to stay awake. A quick mantra can always help: “I am one with God.” Create your mantra that keeps you on track. Commit to a practice of aligning yourself with the one power of God.
