Quote of the Week

“Have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, some day far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.”

Rainer Maria Rilke

Hear Blessings!

June 12, 2008

Hello To Each One of You,

June, the beginning of summer joy and ease!

“Hear blessings dropping their blossoms all around you” Rumi

Sometimes we think what is there to be grateful for when there is so much stress, tension and worry in our lives? The answer is simple, find one thing one simple thing and focus on it until you see its beauty and say thank you. Focus a bit more and say the words until you feel them. Chant them over and over until you suddenly see more and more in that one thing. Then you will see more and more around you to be grateful for until this is your normal thought. It is the practice.

Gratitude has such a high frequency that it can transform any situation into something of growth, learning and expansion and opportunity. The magic words! Haven’t we always taught children to say the magic words and yet we forget to say them to ourselves for all we have been given for all we have been able to create in our lives; for all the love we give and receive. It is time to remember again the magic that exists in every moment. The simplicity of “thank you” say it to yourself, say it to others and say it to the Universe! You will feel transformed and light. This is our birthright just like coming home.

We’ve always had the key just like Dorothy’s ruby slippers, we have the breath. Breathe more deeply and it will bring you fully to the present moment. Suddenly you will feel peace, calm and the truth; you are safe and you are loved. Come to breath class and you will release all old doubt and fears from the past, old traumas and pain. Your being will be set free and you will remember again who you are and where you came from. There truly is no place like home! come breathe and come home again!

“From within or from behind a light shines through us upon things and makes us aware that we are nothing but the light itself” Emerson

Sending you love and light,

The Water of The Heart

June 9, 2008

Hello To Each One Of You,

“There is a way from your heart to mine and my heart knows it, because it is clean and pure like water. When water is still like a mirror, it can behold the moon” Rumi

When we drop from our heads to our hearts things are so simple, so pure, so innocent. Like children, ever notice how uncomplicated they are? They love unconditionally, they live in the moment and they forgive instantly, pain only lasts for a moment and then it is forgotten. Imagine if we were more childlike in our lives and let things go instantly, how would we feel if we didn’t repeat stories? How would we feel if we let go of a thought that made us feel bad? The truth is our thoughts are not always true they are just thoughts driven by the ego which has tremendous fears and challenges. When we are feeling fearful or upset know it is ego thought not soul or heart. The soul and the heart lead to the path of love which is higher all knowing and peaceful.

Imagine what your day would be like if you played the thoughts “ I am loved” “ I belong” “I have value” “There is enough time” “ There is enough money”, over and over again all day. If any are willing to try this experiment let me know your results! I have tried it and it is an amazing way to spend your valuable time because the gifts are so great, greater than anything you could imagine. Its all within you, all you seek is just within your heart! You are magic! Look inside and see the love expand with it and know who you really are.

Come breath and expand with the knowledge of self! Feel what it is like to let go of emotional pain, fear and sadness. You will be amazed at the effects on the physical body and how you will feel when you are willing to let go of pain. Vitality, health, wellness are all there waiting to surface. All you have to do is breath and be free, feel the joy once again that is your birthright! What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail?

“ Because of your smile, you make life more beautiful” Thich Nhat Hanh

So smile! Make today radiant with your beauty and your joy!

Sending love and light,

Karen
