Looking for Perfection

In my essence life is abundant, love is eternal, wisdom is infinate and perfection lies in the beauty that I see in nature.

Do you nurture your nature
...or does the need to have every PERFECT destroy the spontaneous beauty of your world?

Striving for perfection means at some level self doubt needs to control every minor detail...If everything is controlled there is no room for magic or miracles in your life. The more natural and spontaneous the gesture, the closer to perfection you are...

Today I choose to focus on the beauty of sychronicity, the purity of my intentions and the quality of the words I speak. I recognize that the overemphasis on perfection of my external environment may just detour the very feeling of wholeness and completeness that I may be seeking. I let my life unfold and observe the quality of my life experience, knowing that what I focus on, I will ultimately get more of...If I choose to overide my feelings and strive for perfection, the perfection of any moment will be lost for the illusion that all will be better in the future. I make the most of this moment now and let the future take care of itself.

SO THIS MEANS WE WILL BE HAVING PANCAKES FOR BREAKFAST TO CELEBRATE THE BEGINNING OF THIS HOLIDAY PERIOD...THE HOUSEWORK CAN WAIT!!!!!

May the feelings of peace and joy be with you throughout this festive season...

Namaste

Merry Xmas

When all is spinning around you and you find your experience of Xmas is nothing but rush, rush, cram, cram and buy more, more, more....Remember you do have a choice...

The quality of our life is directly related to our experience of it in this moment.
Today I stopped and centred myself....just by taking time out to sit still and become the observer.

Your body is a safe haven, which you can retreat to...anytime, day or night.
It takes discipline to disengage from the chatter of our mind and focus on the quiet voice of our essence. However true power, strength and security can only be found deep within the stillness of our hearts. Our feelings alert us to when, we need to slow down. Do our choices empower us or do we overide our feelings and contiune to further deplete our energy systems?

My most basic tool, is one that I use from the moment I open my eyes in the morning.
Before I get out of bed. I align my choices with light, expansion and love by imagining every part of my body being filled with a beautiful golden light.

At this time of the year, I acknowledge that often my feet are still tired from the day before and I find that unless I am willing to give up the struggle and acknowledge the pain...I will continue push myself rather than nurture myself...This then has a flow on effect to all the choices I make in my day....having to reward myself to get through the day...usually with some sweet treat!

So today I align my choices with expansion and love and create a space for love to enter my experience at the start of my day. Meditation has been proven to increase inner peace and lower stress levels. It naturally relaxes the body whilst focussing the mind. However you do not need to spend hours to gain the benefits...Your intention to be humble and receptive needs to be clear. Pay attention to what flows through your mind and be mindful of the voice of the judge or the observer.

What are you experiencing in this moment...to what are you tuned into?
Allow this moment to be your second chance...When you are grounded in a peaceful, relaxed and neutral vibration you are more likely to see the love that surrounds you in every moment.
Shorten the to do list...take a moment to relax...and you will get more done...Try it for yourself...when we cut ourself off from our feelings and live life in our mind...we are not fully present to the beauty that is there all the time....

Relax and trust that there is an effortless guided way and create this tranquill space for grace to enter...it only takes a few minutes...

Namaste

The Value of Having Good Friends...

My friends are such a wonderful down to earth bunch...tonight a beautiful girlfriend'sbirthday. I inadvertently made her a year older than what she was...Did she react...no...did she show disdain...no...Lucky for me...she accepted the fact warmly that we all make mistakes...That it is a busy time and that I would never intentionally hurt her or treat her badly...She gave me the " benefit fo the doubt' I love this as it means...she can truly see her own reflection in me...Good friends for life...as only one thing is for certain...is that we all will make mistakes...I give thanks...
