Peace Ripple...

I recently heard of a book called "Living Your Yoga" by Judith Hanson Lasater. It caught my attention as I'd recently come to the awareness that my life is my yoga - my spiritual practice. It is occurring every single moment, not just on Sunday mornings. In every moment of every day, I get a chance to practice kindness and respect and compassion and non-judgement and non-violence and gratitude. I get to remember Who I Really Am and show how I can express that and become even more. I get to align myself with my Faith in a greater power and Trust in that guidance. In doing so, I get to feel strong and empowered with a deep peace underlying my actions. For the most part...I am still learning to incorporate this and so I do slip into old conditionings some times. I thought about buying the book. But decided against it. I'm sure there are some great tips in it, but it would be written from the authors point of view and right now, I'm Living MY Yoga. Are you livin...

Here are a few questions that may help you figure out what is most meaningful in your life and what you want to do with your life. 1. What 5 things do you value most in life? 2. In 30 seconds, write down the three most important goals in your life. 3. What would you do if you won a million dollars? 4. What would you do if you learned that you had only 6 months to live? 5. What have you always wanted to do but have not done? 6. In looking back over your life, what type of activities gave you the greatest feeling of importance, self-esteem, mental well-being, self-worth, etc. 7. If you had one wish from a genie, what one thing would you do if you knew you could not fail? ~ If you don't think you have the answer to any of these questions, just imagine that you had the answer. You don't have to show your answers to anyone else. This is a little evaluation for yourself to see if you are on track - heading towards or even already living the life that you desire. It may even promp...

On this day of your life, dear friend, I believe God wants you to know..... that it is time for you to give your mind a respite, a retreat from all the illusions of your Every Day. How long has it been since you paid attention -- real attention -- to your soul? There are many ways to nourish the soul, but you often must stop, just simply stop, life as you are living it...if only for an hour or a day or a week...and take some time to gift your soul. Or, more accurately, to allow your soul to gift you. Is there a book you have been dying to read? A personal growth workshop you wish you could take? A lecture you hope you can fit into your busy life? Do it. Do it now. You think you can't afford the time or the money? I tell you, you can't afford not to. Love, Your Friend.... Neale

On this day of your life, dear friend I believe God wants you to know....... that the time has come for you to nourish your soul. When was the last time that you swam naked? Or sang in the shower? Or blew bubbles? Or held a puppy? Or kissed a baby? Or made love all Sunday afternoon? Or prayed really softly, not from need, but from love? Has it been a while?Then hurry. Do it. Hurry.This is life that is going by... Love, Your Friend.... Neale

What if we knew for certain that everything we're worried about today will work out fine? What if . . . we had a guarantee that the problem bothering us would be worked out in the most perfect way, and at the best possible time? Furthermore, what if we knew that three years from now we'd be grateful for that problem, and its solution? What if . . . we knew that even our worst fear would work out for the best? What if . . . we had a guarantee that everything that's happening, and has happened, in our life was meant to be, planned just for us, and in our best interest? What if . . . we had a guarantee that the people we love are experiencing exactly what they need in order to become who they're intended to become? Further, what if we had a guarantee that others can be responsible for themselves, and we don't have to control or take responsibility for them? What if . . . we knew the future was going to be good, and we would have an abundance of resources and guidance t...

What kind of energy are you sharing with the world? It starts within you....so what is there, at your core? Are you feeling an underlying sense of frustration? Or calm? fear or love? Your choice. What you feel, others around you also feel. Whether they choose to accept that into their Being depends on their level of awareness and inner strength. But you can affect others just with your presence by projecting love and peace when you really feel that within. What a wonderful world that would be!

On this day of your life, dear friend, I believe God wants you to know...... that what your heart thinks is great, is great. The soul's emphasis is always right. Ralph Waldo Emerson said that, and he was correct. The mind is the last part of yourself to listen to. It thinks of everything you can lose. The heart thinks ofeverything you can give, and the soul thinks ofeverything you are. I will leave it up to you to decide which of thosethree is the most important...
