Rely on the path

To know your thoughts and emotions intimately enables you to weather any storm.  When you live under the influence of afflictive emotions, you forget who you are.  When you look for strength and trust outside self, you grow more afraid of illusions.  In order to free the essence of being from the mind, it is necessary to understand and transcend afflictive emotions that you permit to control you.  Awaken from the dream.

What enables you to realize new levels of awakening? How does life show you sources of pleasure also bring you insight into experience of pain and suffering?  Why does heightened awareness serve you?   

Reconnect with spontaneity

Notice the nature of soul-level spontaneity versus mind-driven motivation.  Which do you favor or ignore?  One way to deepen spiritual practice is to sense a journey to expand and serve others emerges from the innermost core. 

Take the example some people are inspired by altruism, that is the desire to serve.  Others are motivated to act based on fear or something in-between.  The world transforms through our changes in attitude, perception and behaviour.  Whether you choose to awaken to the nature of the essence of being and extent of energy flowing through you, is up to you.

Reflect on what you attend to

Wiliam James writes, "My experience is what I attend to."  Where do you focus your attention?  Notice how the mind is focused and also relaxed.  It is selectively aware. People do not always recall how to feel and engage in the simple things without hurrying. What would it take for you to be truly present at each step of the journey? Take a moment to appreciate things. Recognize the intrinsic meaning of just being.

Go deeper

The deeper we explore our beliefs and the reasons why we nurture certain dreams, the more intimately we grow to know ourselves. Funny thing is, many people are consciously unaware how they relate to body and mind, and how they are deluded by the boundaries and ideas they conjure up.  When was the last time you looked at yourself naked and saw through some of your own misunderstandings?

The deeper we go, the more separation disappears. Notice whom you admire and for which reasons, perceived qualities, accomplishments, ways of thinking or being.  What if everything you notice in your scope is a mirror for something you are invited to learn about true self? What if the essence of being starts empty?

As you imagine you belong to no country, you have no religion, affiliation, or race, you sense the meaning of discarding all labels and descriptions of adopted identity.  What remains? How does the process serve you? This meaningful journey invites you to peel away layers of what is not you : Transform Your Life.

Practice the Middle Way

The concept of the Middle Way arises as you do not completely deny your desires yet, you also do not succomb to all of them either.  As part of awakening, you rediscover how it feels to live in balance and harmony.  How often do you actually nurture inner being?

Finding that 'happy medium' is not about giving up dreams or ignoring who you are.  In fact, its about remembering how to be centred, patient and spiritually-poised when events run smoothly as well as when they do not.  Its about choosing to see the bright side or blessings in all circumstances.  Its about choosing love over the ego compulsion to be right.  Its about being aware of the compassion in your blood. 

Every choice you make emits energy vibration. As life unfolds, every cause has an effect. Some you choose to see and others you do not. How and what you perceive, any opportunities you notice, result from more than thought. Recognition reveals its Cosmic Synchronicity.
