The Angels watch us all the time. Just think of what we could see if we had their perspective… we would see all the things that we do every day that are so awesome! Often, we do not see all the good things that we do. We judge ourselves as having so much more to do. We are all guilty of that. We don’t need to be. As the commercial says, “You’ve come a long way, Baby!”.
Blessings
It is true! The Angels say that humans can show so much compassion for others, and even cry at commercials on television because they tug at our heart. They go on to say that we do not seem to be able to show compassion for our self. We see the “self” as someone who needs to be bullied, harangued, and mocked. We are harder on our self than any other person could be.
Change that now. Put your left hand over your heart. Use your right hand, if left is your dominant hand. Then put your right hand over the left. Close your eyes. Breathe. See the golden light around you. Know that you are safe. Now, in your mind, see a river, meandering between two banks. On each bank, the grass is green and dotted with flowers. A forest starts up several hundred yards away. The river flows peacefully now, but sometimes, it rages and overflows its banks. Other times, it is a trickle in the bottom of the river channel. Always it moves. Always it flows. Finally, it merges with a larger body of water… a lake, sea, or ocean.
We are like the river. We need to keep flowing. We do not need to stop what we do or how we do it unless we choose. Go with the flow of your life. Stop several times a day and put both hands on your heart. Give your self some compassion.
Blessings.
The message in this poster is very timely. We watch the people in the world around us do good and do harm to other people. We see that they seem to be working with values that we, the observer, does not understand. Perhaps we are not meant to understand. Perhaps we are supposed to be confused by what is happening. Perhaps there is a balancing going on that is not apparent to the observer. Perhaps!
Blessings.
The conversation at lunch rolled around to what you would do if you could do anything. Surprisingly, most people ended up not really knowing what they would do. Some had never even thought about it.
Most of us get into a mode of living that suits our family and our work. We get a rhythm, and then we do not step outside it. We may even be afraid to step outside of it.
What will you do?
Blessings.
Breathe in, and breath fills you so that your body functions. Breathe in and your heart opens. Breathe in, and life seems to be more colorful. Breathe in, and feel the rhythm of the heart beat of the Universe.
Stop breathing. There is silence. There is calm. There is a sense of fading.
Breathe in, and breath fills you with life.
Blessings.
I loved this picture when I saw it because it reminds me that we often see human features in animals.
Turtle lives a long time, and is very focused on all beings being happy.
Blessings.
