Awareness, Alignment, and Intention

               Picture of Pelicans on the sand ridge on Bow River at Bankside - Picture by J Hirst

I practice awareness, alignment, and intention. I am in complete balance. I say yes to better experiences. The universe has my back. —Daily Motivation (dailymotivation.site)

I find it more difficult at times to maintain my cool - my awareness and alignment and intention - with all of the strife in the world and around me when I leave the house.  Our house and yard have become a sanctuary over time.  Going out to a grocery store brings complexities that did not exist several years ago.

My intention is to be a good, kind person that gets along with all...much like the pelicans in the picture.  I practice meditations for loving kindness, for gratitude, for tolerance.  Sometimes, though, a person crosses your path that makes it so difficult to find the good qualities in them, it is sometimes simpler to walk away from them.

How are you doing in maintaining awareness, Alignment, and Intention?

Blessings,

Judy

 

About Dying Slowly

I was listening to a friend of a friend talk about how awful and sad their life was.  She did not have one good thing to say about her life or life in general.  It seemed to me that she was dying very slowly.  Then, this poem popped up for me.  I think the poem says it all.

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

YOU START DYING SLOWLY!

You start dying slowly ;
if you do not travel,
if you do not read,
If you do not listen to the sounds of life,
If you do not appreciate yourself.
You start dying slowly :
When you kill your self-esteem,
When you do not let others help you.

You start dying slowly ;
If you become a slave of your habits,
Walking everyday on the same paths…
If you do not change your routine,
If you do not wear different colours
Or you do not speak to those you don’t know.

You start dying slowly :
If you avoid to feel passion
And their turbulent emotions;
Those which make your eyes glisten
And your heart beat fast.

You start dying slowly :
If you do not risk what is safe for the uncertain
If you do not go after a dream
If you do not allow yourself
At least once in your lifetime
To run away from sensible advice
Don't let yourself die slowly
Do not forget to be happy!
~ Pablo Neruda♡
Chilean poet who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1971

Beautiful People

The following information came to me in a meditation.  I asked what was going on in the world that I should be paying attention to.  The answer is below.

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

All the people are beautiful!  There is not any standard weight, height, hair colour, or skin colour that makes one person more beautiful than another to us.  As Angels, we see the perfection of your soul/higher self, and marvel at the journeys that you program for yourself for this earthly journey.

Where does the human find their definition of beauty?  More and more, we observe, the definition of beauty comes from the mass media.  Someone tells you this person is beautiful, and thus you believe it.  Yet, there are so many beautiful people in the world – all of them are beautiful – we have no understanding as to how you could limit your perception to one type or form of beauty.  We have no understanding of limiting your perception to the human form which is made of mud, and which is set to expire.  The eternal light of the soul that shines in each person is the beautiful gift.

We see more and more of you are waking up to the beauty of the natural world.  Consider, humans are part of the natural world.  Each human has a purpose that many will never know of and that is also a beauty that each body carries with them.

We ask that the next time you want to judge a person as “beautiful” or “ugly” or “plain” that you reconsider.  Look for the beauty that you have overlooked in the first glance!

Many blessings,

Judy
