MAINTAIN THE HIGH WATCH

Many spiritual insights have come to me through the years as I have walked in my favorite places. One such place where I walked several times a week was the cranberry bog at the foot of our street where we lived on Cape Cod in Massachusetts. I have always been blessed to live near beautiful scenic areas to walk.

Since walking is one of my favorite things to do, I have had plenty of opportunities to receive many messages and insights. On a walk many years ago, I saw a crow flying overhead with a baby bird in its beak. Heartbroken and angry, I cried out to God, “Why is it this way?” I heard, “Because I am the baby bird and I am the crow.” This has been a difficult one for me to accept, and yet at the same time, I know it to be true. The Spirit of the Divine, God, the Source of all that is, lives in and as everything.

I read somewhere, “There is no spot where God is not.” Remembering this gives me comfort and peace of mind in the face of everything that is going on in the world today. I trust there is a higher plan that I can’t see right now, which is evolving under all the opportunities and challenges.

My mission is to maintain the high watch in the midst of everything that is occurring, to not get sidetracked into judgment, to keep an open mind and heart, and to be humble, so that I may see clearly the Truth that all things work together for good in the end.

For me, I am learning that humility comes in the form of my being receptive to all experiences, without judging them, so I can continually see the connection, the Oneness, in everything.

HO’OPONOPONO SACRED HAWAIIAN PRAYER

Beloveds, what would you share with us?

Many people still harbor unresolved feelings inside and don’t realize they are there.  At this time, it is about releasing all that no longer serves you.  It may have served you at some point but no longer does.

Any place you are holding on to old hurts and wounds is a place where there is a blockage, and the Light is prohibited from flowing through easily.  That blockage will be removed in one way or another, so make it easy on yourselves and do it gracefully by repeating the sacred Hawaiian Ho’oponopono prayer for all you hold in your heart with anything less than unconditional love. 

Make a daily habit of starting and ending your day with it.  It’s so easy to remember: “I’m sorry.  Please forgive me. Thank you.  I love you.”  Throughout the day when something comes up that feels difficult, a person or situation, say it again. 

Say it often and it will clear away all the old unforgiving hurt and wounded places in you.  Say it for yourself.  Look in the mirror and say it because you are the only one you hold hostage when you hold on to what no longer serves you. 

You have it in you to do this because you are the Light that has come to planet Earth at this time to shine your Light in the midst of the darkness.

KEEP LIFE SIMPLE AND SMILE

Beloveds, today in the world there is an abundance of information, webinars, classes, conferences, books, emails, zoom calls, and so on. What will you share with us this morning? 

It is not about there being more information to share. It is not about information. You have all had enough information poured into you, and you do not need more information. What you do need to know is how to live your lives in the simplest way possible doing what is important to you, what you love which raises your vibration.

How do you live simpler high vibration lives every day? Who do you hang out with? Who do you love? Who do you let love you? Who do you still have stuff with? All of this contributes to the quality of your day and ultimately your lives. One thing you can stop right now is trying so hard and doing more and more and more. 

It is about being happy right where you are. What can you do today that will bring you more happiness? No more stuff to do. Doing is really overrated. What will bring you pleasure? What will bring a smile to your lips? 

What kind of day do you visualize yourself living? See that in your mind’s eye and simply fall into it. No trying, just being in happiness and joy being love in the midst of all of it. You want to walk, then walk. You want to hike, then hike. You want to go to the beach or go out on a boat, then do that. You want to sit outside and enjoy the weather, do that. You want to write or paint, then do that. You want to talk with or visit with family and friends, then do that.  You want to prepare food, then do that. Of course, there is going to work for many of you so do that with gratitude for whatever your work is. 

The hours of your day will flow from one thing to the next with no trying. You will just be present in all of it. Be present in the midst of everything you do, just be it. You can do that easily if you focus on your breathing while you are doing whatever you want to do. 

You can do all of it with a smile on your face because smiling is amazing. It does wonderful things for your body and your frame of mind and heart. So, keep life simple, do what you love and smile. 

Be the love and peace you want to see in the world.

LIVE CONSCIOUSLY

Beloveds, what is there for us to learn from what happened to me yesterday when I fell?

When you do not bring your full consciousness to what you are doing, you are subject to whatever mishaps may happen along the way.  However, when you are fully conscious with all your senses present, whatever mishaps are out there will be less likely to happen.  You would see the change in the sidewalk surface before you tripped and fell over it.

You can be assured the Spirit of you, your True Being, is always there.  It never abandons you.  It is always there with you, as you experience what is happening along the way, including all the turns, mishaps, and everything else.   When you are fully conscious of your Spirit, you are consciously working together observing all that is around and in you.  Imagine how much easier life is when you’re fully conscious in each moment with your mind focused on one thing at a time.  Life will be much clearer.

When your attention is on multiple things at once, you can’t remember things and are more likely to be forgetful.  You can’t live this way and be fully conscious.  You are here a little, there a little, and over there a little.  This is a very uncomfortable way to live.   

Now that you are aware of all of this, did you feel the little uplift inside of you that just happened?  Well, that feeling will become more and more prevalent as you focus on being conscious of one thing at a time.  Try it today.  See how it feels to actually do one thing at a time.  Keep your focus on that way of being.  As you walk to the kitchen to get something, don’t do something else on the way, and don’t entertain other thoughts.  Stay focused on why you are going to the kitchen.  Then when you get to the kitchen, you’ll actually remember why you’re there.  

It really is simple.  Watch and be aware today.  Stay focused and live consciously.  Go in peace knowing we are always here for you.
