Questions to ponder as we wrap up 2021….Reflection is the key to more powerful creation.

It is vital to reflect on our year and ask fundamental questions of ourselves.

Our reality is created by what we focus on and what we give energy to. Without focus we get swept away on the current of the world and the prevailing energy and I for one do not wish to be swept away on the current of prevailing fear and separation.

It is in the reflection that we can refine what it is we wish to shift, clear and create in the year to come.

Reflection helps us refine our focus.

2021 taught me that without focus I lose my connection to myself and to the source of all, the divine energy that permeates everything. It also taught me what a powerful creator I am as far as creating both the good and the bad, depending on what state my consciousness is in, or was in.

 

I need to accept that we are all on our own journey and that we are all divine regardless of our position on our timeline. I must focus on my own inner tapestry and how I wish to weave my unique threads into the tapestry of the Universe. How do I wish to enhance it, add to it with more vibrancy and beauty?

How am I going to show up in 2022 after reflection of what worked and didn’t work this past year. What fueled my passions and created greater wellbeing and what didn’t.

Take the time to reflect and create a plan for the year ahead, a master plan. You can keep breaking this down into smaller part to focus on monthly, weekly and daily. 

Those who fail to plan, plan to fail…I am sure you have heard this before.

With the aid of the above 10 questions, I hope you get more clarity and can create that which you wish to experience and achieve in 2022. Blessings to you and all of humanity.

Thanksgiving...a gratitude prayer

 Here is a beautiful gratitude prayer from the late Louise Hay...I love it and chose to say it daily for the next 7 days. Will you join me?

Gratitude Prayer

Deep at the center of my being there is an infinite well of gratitude. I now allow this gratitude to fill my heart, my body, my mind, my consciousness, my very being. This gratitude radiates out from me in all directions, touching everything in my world, and returns to me as more to be grateful for. The more gratitude I feel, the more I am aware that the supply is endless. The use of gratitude makes me feel good; it is an expression of my inner joy. It is a warm fuzzy in my life. I am grateful for myself and for my body. I am grateful for my ability to see and hear, feel and taste and touch. I am grateful for my home, and I take loving care of it.

I am grateful for my family and friends, and I rejoice in their company. I am grateful for my work, and I give it my best at all times. I am grateful for my talents and abilities, and I continually express them in ways that are fulfilling. I am grateful for my income, and I know that I prosper wherever I turn. I am grateful for all my past experiences, for I know that they were part of my soul’s growth. I am grateful for all of nature, and I am respectful for every living thing. I am grateful for today, and I am grateful for the tomorrows to come.

I am grateful for Life now and forever more.

Positive thought create healing

Thoughts are Physically Real–They Cause Biological and Physiological Effect

Dr. Larry Dossey, a supporter of mind-body study, explains the fundamental principle behind the surprising effects of placebos: “The body responds to mental input as if it were physically real. Images create bodily changes–just as if the experience were really happening. For example, if you imagine yourself lying on a beach in the sun, you become relaxed, your peripheral blood vessels dilate, and your hands become warm, as in the real thing.”

When you think peaceful and tranquil thoughts, your body–specifically, your leukocytes, adrenal cells and macrophages–will start producing a tranquilizing biochemical similar to Valium. Unlike the drug manufactured by Hoffman-La Roche, which comes with side effects (some potentially serious), the tranquilizing chemical produced by the body has no side effects and supports the proper functioning of the immune system.

Research suggests that thoughts are powerful enough to be perceived as physical objects. Take the findings of Dr. Giuseppe Joseph Calligaris, a 19th century doctor who, in his doctoral thesis, “Thoughts Do Heal,” concluded that a thought leads to actual physical sensations. This mind-body connection manifests in specific organs, which are linked to emotions.

Do you see the connection? Thoughts trigger emotions, which activate organs, which in turn affect our health. Therefore, we hold in our power the ability to transmute our thoughts into positive ones, thereby creating a cascade of endorphins that deliver beneficial healing effects.

Consciously directing one’s mind to think positive thoughts that cause the body to produce health-enhancing biochemicals has been successfully done through biofeedback, guided imagery, meditation, deep breathing and hypnosis. When done right, these practices result in increased longevity, lowered stress levels, a healthy immune system and a reduced risk of heart disease.

Words of wisdom

The important point of spiritual practice is not to try to escape your
life, but to face it -- exactly and completely.
~ Dainin Katagiri Roshi

Even if it is difficult to do it is important to face our obstacles as to not allow them to turn into mountains that then seem insurmountable.

Right now I am facing my own obstacles and realize that sometimes we need to do the thing we think we cannot do and in doing so we grow a little more every day. If you can remember back to your teenage years you will remeber suffering from growing pains. I do and this growth may come with it's own growing pains but it then reminds me of something I read.... External obstacles are internal resistance to change. Which then means that if it hurts to much what is the internal resistance??
I am being my own devils advocate and now I must leave because the only way I can find out if there is resistance internal or otherwise is to go and find my peace and my center and go within.

Till Later....
