Talking About Control

The poster says:  When you try to control everything, you enjoy nothing.  Relax, breathe, let go, and just live.

********************************

Each of us has been taught the need to control what is around us.  We learn it from parents, from school, and from our work.  Control comes in many forms, usually in ways that deter our growth emotionally and spiritually.

When someone is learning a new task, yes, there does need to be some controls in place to help them stay between the lines.  We watch, check, and offer feedback.  However, when that person has learned the task, then we must let them go.  For if we do not, they will never grow beyond what we let them learn.

Breathe out your need to control today, and everyday.

Blessings,

Judy

You - The Universe

 

The poster says:  Remember you are this universe and this universe is you.  — Joy Harjo

*******************

This poster sent a zing through my system when I saw it.  It brought up so many memories of my teachers telling me that our physical body is part of the earth.  Our soul is part of the Universe.  

One reason that they had to keep explaining it to us as students, is that on the path of learning, one tends to forget the bigger picture.  The bigger picture is that the Earth and the Universe have existed long before mankind hit the scene and, according to astronomers, the Universe has kept expanding beyond what we can actually understand.  

My teachers would say that man/capitalism/corporations have this belief that they can control and manage the Earth and thereby manage humans.  And yet the Earth and the Heavens create weather that is not manageable, earthquakes and volcanoes that are not manageable, and the introduction of new species that come from Nature, which is not manageable.  The teaching is that we are to be caretakers of the Earth to help her in her creation.  

If the Earth is constantly changing and the Universe is changing (stars die and new stars are created) then we as part of the Earth and the Universe shall be constantly changing, expanding, and creating.  Life is a wonderful gift.

My Soul Says “No Limits”

Today my soul speaks to me and asks me to go higher and farther than I have been before.  I accept the challenge.  Yet, I do not know what to expect.

Then, the surprises start coming!  I go into a deeper meditation than ever before.  I do not see everything, yet I see some scenes happen so clearly, beginning to end, before I even start the situation.  I have precognition.  I can change the outcome.  I can touch things that were not touchable for me, yesterday.  

I have grown.

Blessings,

Judy

Build A Door

 

The picture says:

If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door.  -- Milton Berle

*********************************

Many people think that they need to wait for something to happen to them before they can make a change... whether it is about work, home life, or taking a risk.  As Milton Berle says, sometimes you need to build the door to create the opportunity.  

We are not educated as we grow up to look to creating our own thing.  We are taught always to be inside the box.  As we look around, the box is broken and maybe even crushed.  We need to do new things to give ourselves and the next generations a new objective.  

Many of us remember jobs, for example, that no longer exist and technology that is gone that was once state of the art.  As we grow and get creative, we can invent new ways of being.  

Blessings,

Think Thoughts That Make You Feel Good!

   

“Think thoughts that make you feel good, make choices that make you feel good, and take actions that make you feel good. Then surrender the outcome, trusting that Life will bring you what you need to grow and be happy.” 

- from You Can Create An Exceptional Life by Louise Hay and Cheryl Richardson

Sometimes, we make a decision or choice that leaves us feeling off balance or anxious, and sometimes, guilty.  The only way to avoid these feelings is to think thoughts that are happy and positive.  Those thoughts come from the heart and will always be the right thing at that moment in time.  Thoughts, choices, and actions that come from ego will most often be the cause of all of the drama that shows up in your life.

Blessings,

Love With Actions

This poster says:  Let us not love with words or speech….but with actions and truth.

Well, this poster says it all!  Of course, our Ancestors have always said that actions speak louder than words.  They also say that love is the way.  Strangely, those caught up in material growth and wealth never seem to find time for love.  And, by their actions, they show us just how empty they are.  

Love fills you up!  You do not need to eat, drink, or buy to fill the craving that emptiness brings.   Finding that love is not something that you need to go on a quest to find, although I will say that quests are fun.  No, the loving is right inside you.

Today is a good day to rummage around in your body and find the love.

Blessings,

Judy

April 1 For Love and Fools

“Spring Palomino Colt” from Microsoft Clip Art    

                                                  This is what we call “April Fool’s Day”.  Yet, to our Ancestors, this was the day for “Love”.  Romans, Greeks, and Norse-Germanic traditions celebrated the goddesses of love, sexuality, orchards and growing things, and water.  

This day symbolically represented the day of planting. It was, therefore, necessary to have the Blessings of the Goddesses, for the second Universal Law is “all creation comes from the female”.  Women offered fires and incenses and wine to the Goddesses Aphrodite, Venus, Freya, and Hathor (Egyptian).  In return, the women wanted a blessing on love, family, birthing, and joy for the next part of their life.  In some cases, women might even court the man to let him know they were interested, and then drop him, so that he, in turn, would court her.  

It was this day that made fools out of lovers, and lovers out of strangers, for sometimes, the Goddess would sprinkle potions on the food and drink of the humans.  It was a day that nothing serious should happen except for the extolling of the virtues of one’s beloved.  

April is also the time of the pairing of birds (love birds is the nickname for this time of year), and the building of nests. Baby animals are either present or on their way.  This is the month of the “Budding Trees” Full Moon. Planting begins and is sometimes completed during the month.  

May your April bring newness to your life!

Blessings,

Judy

Seeing Beauty in Flowers

I love this time of year because I get to grow flowers and to buy uncommon flowers and plant them in the garden and in pots!  I love the color.  I love that the bees come to check them out.  I love the smell of the blossoms.  I love watching them grow and change.

There is beauty in all aspects of Nature for me.  Not everyone agrees that Nature is beautiful, but they do agree that parts of it are.  I love seeing the flowers that grow in people’s yards and the flowers out in the meadows of the parks.  The colors are amazing.  

The flowers, too, bring some healing to those who see them and look at them with awe and respect.  To be a flower is a very special task.  The growing season is so short, unless the flower is a perennial, and there is no telling when your flowers will be picked or eaten.

Flowers have a message for us:

• Don’t be afraid to shine your colours.
• Stand straight to get the Sun but be flexible when the wind blows.
• Put your roots down deep so that you can be sure of your foundation.

Many Blessings,

Judy
