When all is said and done

As you become aware of thoughts, you grow aware of the colour the ego gives them. The awakened mind sees through the colour that takes form as beliefs and attitudes. Everything that moves through the mind may manifest through the body. Everything is a pointer.

Engage the intuition. Feel your way into what is reliable. You know how it feels to sense imbalance and to recognize decision-making time. How we deal with each other is what matters. Be at peace with yourself and in harmony with others. Whenever you want to, you can stop the universe and be still. What is real creates peace, stillness and happiness. Be aware of the reactions going on inside the mind. Notice what you know without thinking.

Ask how you can argue with love, harmony, peace? You cannot know them in your head, only through direct experience. When all is said and done, nothing remains. Nothing is always here and is often overlooked. Why? An underlying stream of thoughts adds colour.

Notice what you allow yourself to see. Notice where you get emotionally involved.  Notice where you observe and remain humble and silent.  Notice darkness and light and what it feels like as they merge.  Saying nothing, doing nothing, being nothing, simply be who you are. If ripples exist on the surface of the lake of your mind, you do not see the stars clearly.

"You know if its truth if it leads to peace and harmony and freedom, it leads to letting go, to enlightnement, to the highest happiness, you cna know it must be the truth."  -Buddha

Accept the nature of evolution

The nature of evolution is not only about a particular outcome or series of outcomes.  It is about the journey and what unfolds during steps all along the way. You add to evolution with all that you are living.  Every moment, new ideas are being born, expansion is taking place, and satisfaction is expanding.  As you grow consciously aware, it all feels right now.

Recognize that without a perceived problem, you do not reach out for a solution.  Similarly, without asking a question you do not embark on a quest to uncover an answer.  Problems and solutions present in the same moment much like questions and answers do.  You simply choose what you are willing to see.  Notice the nature of your own purpose-driven life. 

More specifically, how do you focus your attention: on what is here & now/ how it feels as it gets here or on what is absent and why? Know you can get to wherever you want to be from where you are.  It is easy to transform your conditions.  Be selective about how you feel.

Be realized

Every moment is a stage of a journey into a perpetual self-discovery. Notice whether you are true to what you feel in the heart. Notice how you view or filter the world through your beliefs and perceptions. This is what limits your awareness of reality.  Its not all that is.

When the inner judge is active, you resist listening to the heart.  Notice which emotions drive you.  Notice whether you believe you must do something to become better than you are.  This restless state of mind resists the obvious. The mind thinks everything you do is a necessary step toward achieving or earning self-acceptance. What if this is misguided?

As you accept who you are, whatever happens is the best case scenario. How does it feel to be authentic? Well, as you feel the way here, and all life choices are stepping stones.  Emotion no longer controls you.  Intuition is trusted inner guidance.  Suddenly, balance, wholeness, vitality, clarity, peace and contentment are here. The seeker is the finder here and now. 

If you ponder the path, yoga is empowering.  It is more than physical stretching and poses.  It is also a way of seeing the world through the clarity of a calm mind and lens of an open heart.  Through regular practice, yoga expands awareness of physical and psychological states.  This enables you to step back, observe your reactions and coping mechanisms.  As yoga practice becomes effortless, second nature, infinite being is reached.  You master self.

"Words fail to conveythe total value of yoga.  It has to be experienced."  -Prashant S. Iyengar

All is possible

How you perceive reality affects your view of what is possible. The funny thing is, your perception of what is possible also shapes what you allow yourself to see and experience. In other words, you see the external world through the lens of your vibration. As you focus on what feels good, you vibrate on a high level, and opportunities are visible and accessible.

Know what you want is done on a vibrational level. The physical senses do not initially detect it but as joy fills you, you can feel something deeper. What is active in your vibration is what you are about right now. As you grow more conscious and deliberate with your thoughts and feelings, you know abundance, clarity, vitality, wellness are all accessible.

Watch what happens as you talk about what is done in the present tense. Recall who you are and how things are going right here and now. You cannot see things other than how you perceive them to be. See things as flowing smoothly and they are.  The universe only ever responds to your perception of the reality you are living. Talk about and feel love in all that is evolving. You have creative control over what unfolds.  Only your impatience keeps you apart from what is already here.  Get out of your own way and see the difference.

As you nurture a desire to do, be or have something, if no contradiction exists in your vibration, then that something is real for you. Many things that were once believed to be impossible are now widely viewed as real due to collective agreement and perception. Everything in your scope of awareness is about what you attract into your life via vibration. Relax into your eternal nature.  Whatever you give attention to dominates your vision.  Ponder an environment where endless paths exist to whatever you tell yourself you want.  Know you are already here.  Where is your belief or expectation relative to what you want?

Ultimately, you cannot become less than you are. When you feel discomfort or contrast, you can always shift your focus of attention and ease yourself into a place of greater comfort. Words do not teach. Life experience is the true teacher. Look for reason to feel good.  Flourish.

Three points for clarity

You may ask how to develop mindfulness.  Its less about doing than letting go.

Regardless of the area of your life, keep these three points in mind:

1)    The most important time is NOW

2)    The most important person is in front of you (in the mirror or whom you offer service)

3)    The most important thing to do is to care (show compassion)

"Enlightenment is understanding that there is nowhere to go, nothing to do, except exactly who you’re being right now."- - Neale Donald Walsch
