Awaken To Self

Did you know that you are an infinite being of light and love? Did you know you are deserving of all the good things the world has to offer? Although this understanding is deep in the core of your being, you may be so disconnected from yourself that you forget these simple facts. It is time to remember who you are! It is time to awaken to self!

Take the time to get to know yourself better! I find the best time for deep self-understanding is to actually contemplate who I am during meditation time. Here is a list of questions to get started and re-acquaint yourself with you!

Questions For Self-Discovery

1. What is important to me in life? Family and friends? Career? Etc.
2. What things am I most proud of and give me a sense of accomplishment? List some of my experiences where I felt accomplished.
3. What activities bring me the most joy?
4. What are my talents and skills? How can I incorporate these things into my daily life if they are not already there on a daily basis?
5. What do I value about myself?

This is not meant to be an all-inclusive list of questions for self-discovery. These questions are merely designed as a place to begin. Hopefully they will lead you to many more questions that will help you remember who exactly you are and where you hope to go in life! 

When we are awakened to self, we are more likely to tap into life purpose. We are more likely to allow ourselves to be who we are and enjoy the journey. Time to remember who you are so you have the opportunity to fulfill your life's purpose!

Opening Awareness

I had an interesting experience yesterday. It was Tuesday, and I had to go to my part time retail job. While I enjoy my coworkers and the fact that it gets me out of the house and out in the public, I was not looking forward to it. Still, as I drove to work I had this overwhelming sense it was a weekend sort of day--lazy, nothing to do, etc. As I continued to make my way in to the job it finally dawned on me. I wasn't feeling like it was a weekend day because of anything I personally felt. I was feeling the mood of all the people in the homes and cars and businesses around me! Where I live here in Georgia, pretty much all the kids are home from school all week long because of the Thanksgiving holiday.

As I go down this road of opening my own awareness and attempting to help others unlock theirs as well, it is interesting to see when progress has been made. I'm sure there have been many times in the past the feelings/energies of those around me were obvious, but I was oblivious. Many occasions I did not even question whether or not what I was feeling came from me or someone or something else.

The journey the planet is currently undergoing is the process of opening awareness. We have all spent many years in darkness--many years feeling separate and disconnected. As stated before, these beliefs about our separateness have been programmed into us intentionally by those who would usurp our power for themselves. Awareness is the process of learning how to listen to the knowledge that comes from tapping into the Source of love within our own hearts.

Allow yourself to celebrate the awarenesses as they come. These are the little signs that you are beginning to remember who you truly are! The more we begin to recognize the connections we have to ourselves, each other and the world, the more our whole world begins to change for the better.

We are making progress, slow though it may seem. Every step we take toward thinking through our hearts helps to open our awareness. Allow yourself to celebrate the journey!

Each One Reach One!!!

I was having a rather tongue-in-cheek conversation with a Facebook friend of mine about the evil that currently rules the world. He is rather upset that humanity does not seem to be able to wake up from their slumber and do something to change the status quo. While I understand his sentiments, I honestly still have a belief that we can change things, albeit slowly.

My response to him brought me back to my Christian upbringing and one of the slogans I heard that was really meant to convert people to Jesus: each one reach one. The whole point was about everybody playing their part to teach someone who needed to learn.

I remember my own awakening. It all began when my daughter was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. All doctors ever say is you can't cure it. It can be controlled, but it involves being medicated for life. That wasn't the answer I wanted to hear, and something deep in my heart told me that wasn't the whole story. My search for answers made me ask questions I had never needed to ask before. Each new piece of information led me to new questions with new answers.

After a while, I learned about a whole host of other topics I had never paid attention to before. That's the thing about questions and learning. Once you begin asking questions and coming to new understandings, you just don't want to stop. Once you step into the rabbit hole, your life is never quite your own anymore.

So now that I have been confronted by all the evil in the world, what do I do with that? How do I begin to change it? Each one reach one!!!

It isn't about swaying someone over to your point of view or even teaching them new facts. It's about connecting to them, heart-to-heart, and helping them learn to think from that place. Love is a very powerful tool. That's how the heart has the ability to connect us all. It flows in and through all things. Permeates all things. It's something we all connect to innately.

Each one reach one. It's about reaching out to your brother or sister in love and understanding and showing them we are all in this together. That we are all truly One.

One at a time, we have the ability to change the world!!!
