Life Lessons in Energy and Love

I have been in this world now for 38 years. For a long time I felt dead inside, until two years ago when I came back to life.
Here is what I have learned and discovered on this journey:

Energy

The first thing that I have learned is that everything is made out of energy.

I guess I didn’t pay much attention in science class because this is actually a scientific fact. Science has been teaching and proving it for years. It has become real to me  because I have seen and do see energy in the sky and all around. This energy can and is felt in our bodies — the reason for this is that our bodies are made up of energy. This causes us to be electromagnetic.

It reminds me of the old saying, “That which you sow, so shall you reap.” If we are constantly thinking negative thoughts and saying things such as “My life is crap,” or “Can this get any worse?” then that is what we will continue to experience. We will, like a magnet, attract more negativity.

We are focusing on the very thing that we don’t want and just continuing to create more of that.

At the same time if we are thinking positive, feeling joyful, being grateful and recognizing the gifts in this life, then we will receive and create more of that — more positivity, more joy, more bliss. We will also be able to recognize that it is all good.

There is so much beauty in this world to be seen and experienced.

When is the last time that we just stopped for a moment and listened to or appre-ciated all the beautiful things in this world? When was the last time we listened to the birds singing to us, or recognized that our pets are showing us how to love unconditionally? The animals in the forests live virtually stress-free because they know how to go with the flow of life.

We are capable of feeling this energy flowing and surging through our body.

It is also possible to feel another person’s energy.

A good example of this would be when you walk into the room and things just don’t feel right, or you feel very comfortable and at peace. Another good example is when a person walks in and it feels like the room becomes brighter and everyone is drawn to him or her.

All things in this world are made up of energy. The difference in the energy is that we are all vibrating at different frequencies.

As we begin to wake up and remember who we are and learn to love and accept ourselves for the truly magnificent beings that we are, our perceptions and knowing will change.

The whole world will change!

It will be all that is real — unconditional love, light, joy, bliss, prosperity, peace, freedom and abundance in all things. We will begin to sense the pure ecstasy and euphoria of life!

Love

All people on this planet just want to be loved and accepted for who they truly are.

Have you ever noticed to what lengths a little child will go just to get your attention? They are just saying in their way, look at me, and love me. Adults do the same thing to greater or lesser degrees.

Everyone wants to know and feel that they are loved unconditionally.

All people show and express love as much as they are capable. It all starts with us, internally, in our loving and acceptance of ourselves, and then we are able to love everyone unconditionally. We are able to see them and love and accept them for who they truly are.

People are not what they do, they are so much more! When you transform the fear you will find there is only love.

Love=Freedom and Freedom=Love

Love is the Key to everything!

Love is the Universal Language!

Through Love all things change and become what is real!

From Masks to Metamorphosis

There are many of us out there who have felt as though we have had to wear a mask. To hide the self that we truly are. We may have even felt that in order to fit in, to be loved, and accepted, we have had to disguise ourselves. Be who others told us that we were, or how we felt it was appropriate to be, just to fit in, to be "normal", to feel loved. Many out there are feeling torn. They no longer desire to burden themselves down with the many layers of masks that they have put on. They are tired of hiding their light and pretending to be who they are not.

At the same time they hold a fear around dropping their masks to free themselves and be the authentic version of who they really are. People in this world desire to feel and know they are loved, to be free! Most of this life many have been told how to live and what to believe. There are people who are waking up now and starting to question those very beliefs and the upbringing that has shaped them into who they thought they were meant to be, supposed to be.

This can feel as though a person is trapped and that there is no way out. There is hope and there is in fact a way out. It may not be what you, or I think, or expect though, because the answers, the key actually resides inside. There is no need to search outside. It has been there all along. Now is the moment in which to choose whether or not you want to know your own truth and live it. The choice to live in your bliss and Joy!

This personal transformation can then be compared to the metamorphosis of the caterpillar to the butterfly. While the caterpillar is in its own right a beautiful creature. Its life is spent crawling around in the dirt and somewhat limited. Whereas, when the caterpillar chooses to become the butterfly it goes through a metamorphosis. It is no longer limited to crawling around on the ground. The butterfly's now free to go and experience what it chooses. Through this change the caterpillar has become free and even more magnificent and beautiful than it once was. Like you, this was always inside of that amazing little caterpillar. There is a butterfly inside us all longing to be free and to experience the life that we were truly meant to experience. 

The Path we are traveling

I was reading a verse the other day written by Walt Whitman

"Not I, nor anyone else can travel that road for you. You must travel it by yourself. It is not far. It is within reach. Perhaps you have been on it since you were born, and did not know. Perhaps it is everywhere - on water and land."

~ Walt Whitman~ (Leaves of Grass)

It inspired me to write this;

We are in essence all on a journey to remember and experience in this life who we truly are and feel and know the Joy of this. Many of us through our personal beliefs and experiences during this life, have come to believe that we do not have a purpose. We have built and encased ourselves into personal prisons of self doubt, feelings of abandonment, worthlessness, and disbelief. We may even question and think who am I to accomplish or be anything in this life. For that matter, who am I at all. We may be experiencing questioning, and lack in many different areas of our lives. We might even feel that there is not a light at the end of the tunnel, and things only seem to be getting worse.

Many fears and doubts are coming to the surface to be looked at then cleared or transformed. Behind every fear is the truth, the truth of our true selves. While we are all on the same journey, every person is at a different level of their own metamorphosis. This journey of self discovery, of remembering can not be taken for us by anyone else, that part is all on us. The fears and thoughts reside in our own minds and only we can choose to remember and discover the truth of them, the truth of our wholeness. We can all however help one another through this adventure, this journey of life by being a shoulder to cry on, an ear to listen, some sage advice, or even a hand to hold. We are all one and we are never alone, what one person is going through another may have already experienced or is also experiencing. Together we can all create a world of Love, Peace, Joy, Harmony, and Remembrance. The world and existence that we are meant to live in.

New Family Lake Adventure

 

You just don't always  know what might happen from day to day! Each day is different and full of life's little and sometimes big, journey's.

We had quite the adventure yesterday! Went out to the lake for a relaxing fun family day. What a wonderful getaway, swimming, floating, sunning, and random Hill conversation. A fantastic time for all! It was warm outside so Rob picked up one of the folding chairs to dunk in the water in order to cool off a little. He did not notice the car keys were inside the the chairs cup holder, none of us did. The keys then fell into the water, which did not have very good visibility, and was around 20 feet deep.
The 2 boys and Rob spent the next 20 mins  taking turns diving down to the bottom of the lake. Brandon said he felt the keys with his feet a couple of times. Sean thought that he did as well. On one of the trips down Rob ended up with a hook in his finger. This little adventure could have turned into a very expensive one and a time when we could have given up hope. That was the only key to our car and it was one of those that also has a key less entry remote built on to it.
As they continued to dive down into the water we never doubted that one of them would retrieve our sunken keys. On Rob's last dive down I had this very strong feeling that he would be returning from the bottom of the lake with our keys in hand. He was down there for a bit but none of us had a panicky feeling. We knew that everything would be okay. The feeling grew stronger as he began to come back up. I know Rob, and for dramatic effect he raised his fist up first through the surface of the water and there in his hand were our car keys. We all cheered and clapped. I then kissed him and called him our hero. Alyssa kissed her dad on the cheek as well.
What an adventure we had! The key works like it never happened. I never doubted for a second that it would! We stayed a few hours longer and had a very enjoyable time!

ONE POST AT A TIME

I was listening to a CD the other night as I was driving home from a meeting. The title of it was the daffodil principle. There was a moment in the CD where the woman was telling a story about a daffodil garden, and it hit me so strongly! The kind of strong that you feel in your cells and that brings tears to your eyes. She said the words just one bulb at a time. This was how a woman had planted thousands of daffodils, just one bulb at a time. In just those simple words it hit me so strongly. That is what I have been desiring to do all along. Like those flower bulbs I have been posting one blog, one article, one message at a time. Desiring to bring hope, joy, freedom and Love into the lives of others. If through these posts and messages one persons life is changed or a hint of remembering takes place I am truly Grateful! I desire that all people are able to feel their light and experience the Love that they truly are! To be an instrument or light in their own personal metamorphosis and that of the world. Guiding each other to remember who they truly are and for all to Love and accept themselves. Just one post, one , message, or one smile at a time!

Going With The Flow of Life

In life it may seem like there are many twists and turns and at times we feel like we don't know whether we are coming or going. One thing is for certain though, we are always in choice. We may not realize it but, in this life we always have a choice. In these moments we can either choose to react to a situation or we can create. Though it may not seem like it in that moment there is always a choice!
Recently I felt very, very sick, and even that is putting it mildly. To me it was a strange feeling because I really don't get sick anymore. I used to get sick all the time I had a lot of anxiety and so many fears, that most of my adult life I felt awful. When my family caught colds, flu’s or anything I would catch it. Then not only would I get it but, my body would hold on to it for a while. I would be down in bed and then also be feeling guilty for all the things that were not getting done in my house.
Thursday night I started feeling very nauseous. I even had to leave a very enjoyable meeting before I wanted to. I am so glad that I listened to that inner voice because I made it home just in time! No details but, let's just say eww! I crawled into bed and at 3 am way more yuck! I crawled back into bed and stayed there until 3 P.M. Friday afternoon. We had, as a family decided ealier in the week that Friday was the day that we were going to have some fun and just go with the flow. We had wanted to do it earlier in the week but, due to weather and prior commitments we were not able. The idea for this day came about because we had all been caught in the same routine. It was time to get out and enjoy life. Take a moment and not only enjoy each others company but also bask in the beauty and wonder of nature.
As I was laying in bed I kept thinking, I don't want to be laying here anymore this is not how I desire to spend my day. Later in the day I sipped some water and had a light snack, I then waited a bit to see if what I had ingested would stay down. I told my husband that I really wanted to embark on this new adventure. He asked me if I was sure and the moment I said I was he gathered the two boys and they went down stairs to get the inner tubes and rubber 2 man boats.
They prepared all that was needed and we separated into two cars. One car would be left at our ending point and one at the place were we would start. I still felt a little weak and dizzy but, I was very excited about this new adventure! We arrived at our starting point then we got all the items ready and cast off. My husband and I were each in an inflatable boat and the two boys were each in an inner tube. As we were floating down this river we were laughing and having a great time. When we saw an obstacle to steer away from we did with ease and even laughed and joked about it. The running joke was the sticks are attacking. We laughed about is so hard and continued to laugh and joke about it for the duration of the trip!
As our journey progressed time seemed to stand still and it felt as though we were in our own little world. There was just peace and relaxation mixed with some rowing and steering. As the evening continued night was upon us and we realized that it was going to be dark very soon. We did not think to bring a flashlight with us because we were unaware of how long it was going to actually take. My husband informed us that it was going to become dark in a while and that we might not be able to see very well. Another factor was we still had a long way to go.
In this situation we had a few choices panic, go with the flow or find some area to get out and walk the rest of the way. We chose to just go with the flow of the river. It was absolutely gorgeous out there the sky was filled with stars and we were able to see not only shooting stars but satellites as well. The tree lined banks were filled with fireflies, so many in fact that the trees looked like they were covered in twinkling Christmas lights. One by the boys had become cold so Brandon climbed into Rob's boat with him and later Sean climbed into mine. At one point my husband posed the question "did you ever think that we would ever do anything like this?" I said no, but aren't we glad that we did.
What a beautiful and amazing awe filled experience we were having. We soon learned that even though we could not see the obstacles that were up a head we could in fact hear the difference in the sound of the water before we reached them. This made it so we were able to steer away and continue our trip without any harm. Much awe, and joy was being experienced by all.
This little adventure can be compared to our Journey in life. We cannot always control everything and do not always see all of life's obstacles in front of us. We can however choose not to react and to listen to that small voice inside of us, that knowing, that intuition. Much like the subtle difference that we were able to distinguish in the sound of the water when there were obstacles in our path.
As many sacred texts state Be still and know that I AM. In the stillness is where the answers lie inside us all. This is what allows us to go with the flow of life. It is the resistance that causes us the confusion, pain and dis-ease. Life is what we choose it to be! We can choose to go with the flow or we can choose to resist. It is in essence always our choice!

Self Love

What does this mean? A definition of self love is a love that is self-centered. Not in a sense where a person does not care about anyone’s well being but their own, not a me, me, me. A Love where you unconditionally Love and care for yourself. You no longer have the need or seek for outside approval. You Love and accept yourself for who you are in this very moment regardless of anything outside of you. You no longer fish for compliments or judge yourself. For that matter you no longer judge others for in judging another you are in fact judging yourself. You Love and cherish yourself even when you may not feel it from others, even when you are not fully seeing the real you.
When you come to this place of self Love and acceptance you are able to Love and appreciate others for who they truly ARE. You will no longer see them as sick or bad. You will realize that all are creating their lives and functioning at the level that they are capable at and see it all as perfect. You will empathize with them but not get down in the depths of despair along side. There will be no more better than or less than games. If someone says something that you don’t like you will no longer take it to heart.
You will just be able to say no thank you in a loving and compassionate way. When you want to be with your spouse or significant other and they don’t want  to you will not allow it to effect you in any way. You will simply be able to move on with your day or evening and go forward in your Joy. Knowing and feeling how deeply Loved and truly cherished you are. There appears to be so much going on in this world right now and there are times when you may just feel so overwhelmed and wonder if it is ever going to get any better. Am I ever going to feel that Joy and Peace? We do have a choice, we are the ones that get to choose to live in and create that Peace and Joy, to be able to experience it. At times it may not seem like we have a choice, that life just keeps serving it up to us. In this there is a gift, a new knowing behind all the old beliefs. The old thoughts telling you that you are not good enough or you are not worthy. It is up to us to remember the truth of who we truly are and the truth behind the stories and beliefs that we held onto so strongly. In our remembering and uncovering of these nuggets of truth, it frees us and others and also Empowers them to do the same. We are all one and we are all whole in this very moment. It is our divine right destiny to know and remember this. To live the life of Joy, Bliss, Peace and Freedom the life we are meant to live!! The greatest gift of Love that we can give to ourselves and the world is inner peace. This can only be found from within and once discovered will change the world for the highest and best of all!
