Once you realize that all thought is the construct  of the "personal I" (ego), you will naturally loosen your identity with thought ( I am this, I am that, I have done this & I have done that, etc.) From here you will know the freedom to be... 

When something you experience upsets you or elates you, notice how you have a thought with the feeling, or a feeling & a thought....you are neither, it is all thought, the construct of a personal I which is not you!

Once your attention is aware of this you will be less attached to thought and the peace that you are, begins to permeate. This is not an "aha" or a revelation, this is simply who you have always been & will be.

When our loved ones (children, spouse, partner, family, friends etc.) appear to be having difficulties in life  with dependencies, life choices, etc.,  we often turn to prayer feeling there is no where else to go having tried all known options. This is a gifted opportunity to ask "Who am I?" Let this be your prayer and listen with all your heart to the answer.

When you hear the answer to this prayer, you will stop hoping and wishing for things to be different. You will know the peace of who you truly are, the same peace that is in each of us and all forms, you will know all of this (you already know!).

This knowing alone will allow you the presence to be... and  for an instant you will not worry with a hurting heart.

You are so much more...!

                               Know that you know, you are so much more. 
 
When you smell with the physical nose you are scent limited, yet when you smell with your essence,you smell the scent of a deep intelligence and knowing.

When you see with the physical eyes you are sight limited, yet when you see from your essence, you see through all form as stillness, love.

 When you hear with the physical ears you are sound limited, yet when you hear with your essence you hear the heart of all matters.

           Be all your senses and essence, both are alive in you now!

Do rest...

There is the saying "Don't rest on your laurels" taken from the first Olympian who finished first in the race and was crowned with a laurel wreath. It is a personal I (egoic ) statement meaning don't rest or another will beat you. There is another choice here...you can choose to rest with the laurels.

Catch yourself when your thoughts are in attention with the personal I mind thoughts and return to the laurel and rest.We all wear the laurel crown, it is a matter of that which we identify with... "Don't rest on your laurels." or "Do rest with the laurels!"

Wake up & smell the roses...!

Wake up! Smell the roses! When you reach your nose to the rose and draw in it's scent, you awaken something wonderfully ancient within you...your being!

 Let the scent of the rose stir your deepest depths and touch your beauty...relax and fall into that which you are.
