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

Happy Warm and Cozy Winter!

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

Ah the light, something we all want and yet it can be so obscured by our thoughts. These powerful messages sent by the thousands through our minds, unhindered, unbridled thoughts of chaos and mayhem which then lead us down a dreary path! Where did the Light go?
The Light is always present and it is as easy as flicking the switch! The Light can be turned back on by reigning in the thoughts, disciplining them and directing them towards that which supports how we choose to feel. Challenging? Hard? Impossible? Yes, challenging at first, like learning to play the piano or a new language, it takes practice and determination to learn. It requires the willingness to be open to form new sounds with an already formed palate; the willingness to be vulnerable trying and not quite reaching perfection, yet still willing to continue the effort. Why would we do all of this?

The only reason that exists is to reach the Light, to remember we are the Light itself as that is where we came from. How could we be anything else separate from the Light? Yet we forget we play thoughts of unworthiness, of darkness, doubt and fear and suddenly we have forgotten as though we never knew. All it takes to remember again is the choice to redirect the thought to gratitude. When I have entered the darkened domain of fear and doubt through the narrow passageway of my thoughts I choose again and again to redirect with the words “thank you” followed by an absolute list of things I can now flow unreservedly of my truth of experience for which I am grateful. My family, the love I have been able to feel for people who have floated and appeared throughout my life, my home, my work, the joy I feel when I am connected and can feel whenever I choose simply by choosing a thought pattern! Try creating your own pattern of thought towards the Light through GRATITUDE!

This is the ending of one year and the beginning of another. Look at all you have been given in this year both that which created pain and discomfort that brought you to new awareness and that which you have been given that brought the breathlessness of joy and new experiences! Allow yourself to move into this new year of experience by choosing to be connected to your Source by choosing gratitude, love and joy.

This new year is the number 9 which is a number representing completions and/or endings. We are in a time and space to let go of old attachments to come to new understandings of ourselves and life as we have been creating it and allow ourselves to step into a new and deeper connected state of awareness, creating consciously with compassion, love and understanding! This is our time to move forward to a new dimension.

There is a current of energy already in place. What can you do? Just be in flow with what is already. Breathing, meditating, and choosing higher forms of expressions of love is the key to keeping all doors and windows open!

Come breathe and remember again who you are and the Light from which you came!

We will be breathing on New Year’s Eve from 5-7 with a short meditation afterwards. Please let me know if you are choosing to begin your year connected, peaceful and joy filled! Class as usual on Friday 1/2/09 at 6:30! Monday’s class on 1/5 will begin at 5:30 to 7:30!

Sending you love and Light,

Karen
