ISSUE~LESSON~BLESSING

Posted on by Ascensials

TODAY’S LIFE LESSON: shares the way we begin each day and how it determines what direction we will go with our intentions and directions.  Each moment is designed for us to make a choice and based on that choice we enter into the next moment with what we have envisioned for ourselves.  It is a challenging experience to be able to take the time to consciously observe what is being chosen and what it actually means.  We are never a victim, although it can sure feel that way – the only person that can set us free is ourselves.  When a thought is not in alignment with our best interest or wellbeing, why do we follow it as if it is the only pathway open?  Catching ourselves doing that is such an important art of feeling free and in alignment with our best version of who we can be.

A thought that enters into our awareness is just that  – a thought.  It is not a law, a rule, a sentence, a direct order and yet we can so easily feel it is there because we need to do something in reaction to that thought.  That is where the feelings come in – they are designed as a guidance system that will usher us forward into more of the same thoughts, or push us in a new direction that is away from those thoughts.  It is so subtle that we are rarely able to catch the moment so we can redirect the reactions and actions we can take.  A thought is simply a vibration from the field of quantum energy that shows us one way out of an endless and infinite realm of possibilities.  Why would we choose the thought that least supports our happiness, health or wealth potential?  That is the old way.

Feelings are designed to help us sort through our thoughts until we find one that is more in alignment with our true desires and beliefs about what we deserve.  If a thought feels good – follow it.  If a thought does not feel good – move in another direction until you find a resonation with the new direction.  Even though we may not have any idea what that direction may bring, it is in our best interest and evolutionary development to follow it through until we discover where it takes us.

The heart will always be the ultimate judge of your choices and decisions.  When it feels good – we radiate a loving, kind and caring light.  When it does not resonate, we emirate fear, judgement, anger or shame . . . that is not a direction we want to continue to follow.  Moment to moment, step by step, feeling by feeling and choosing loving thoughts will take us where we need to be and will flourish in a healthy happy way – every day.  It would be foolish to think we can follow what someone else thinks of us and ever end up in a good place.  Or to interpret what we think others expect of us as a way of doing service – this will only lead to disappointment and discontentment.  Not a happy place to be in any moment.  Choose your moments wisely – and you will feel at peace.

ISSUE= A thought that we are having that does not resonate with our inner feelings or heart reactions so we blow it up into something bigger to look at until we see it clearly.
LESSON= An opportunity to learn something about ourselves that will help us grow, evolve, change, heal and expand our awareness in a more loving way.
BLESSING= An instant reward or feeling of contentment, peace, love and acceptance that comes when we have fully understood and assumed ownership of our choices as part of our souls development.

LOSS~GRIEF~MOURNING

Posted on by Ascensials

TODAY’S LIFE LESSON: brings a new awareness to my soul as I mourn the loss of my best friend.   It is not that I regret her passing, but take time to celebrate her life.  When we have a kindred spirit who understands who we are at the deepest level of our being and embraces all that comes with that, we are truly blessed.  Not everyone can accept us in that way and when we find someone that can, the joy and pleasure of their role in our lives is irreplaceable.  As a sacred bond it is important to realize that not everyone finds that kind of friendship and kinship to share. I feel truly honoured that I have had that experience.

Learning to embrace the loss is part of what challenges us to let go.  Not to let go of the memories, the special moments or the challenging ones, but to truly honour that they existed.  Focusing on the blessings becomes a way of being comforted and soothed as the days unfold.  In those moments when the mind forgets they are no longer present, it is being ok with that thought where you want to pick up the phone and tell them something that just happened they way you used to do.  It is taking a moment and making that call on a higher level where you speak with them in spirit and share the same message knowing that on some plain of existence they are smiling and responding with the usual enthusiasm or interest.  There is no distance when it comes to spirit – and in that way our friendship continues.

LOSS= the sense of finality that comes with the passing of a dear friend or loved one
GRIEF= the process we go through as we learn to let go while still holding sacred memories
MOURNING= the sense of empty space that comes when someone is no longer there

SHAME~BLAME~GAME

Posted on by Ascensials

TODAY’S LIFE LESSON: exposes our vulnerable side by revealing that when we are in a place of blaming or shaming others, we are playing a game called guilty.  The idea is that if we are not able to witness and own our own shadow self, then we start to focus on the shadow in others as a way of learning and observing from a distance.  It is easy to point out the faults and flaws in others . . . we are very good at that.  We don’t have any investment in the emotional side of how this came to be, why they are in the place they are in, or even what it is that they are so unhappy about that they would spend their precious life force and energy blaming others.  We are then actually contributing to the game as a cheer leader . . . especially if we are willing to listen to their stories over and over again without challenging them to wake up and see things differently.

Every time we feel the need to blame someone else, we miss the opportunity to heal that part of us that is the same as they are.  Like attracts like.  If your friends and family are investing in the need to gossip, complain, blame or shame someone, then you are no different when you take the time to hear them.  Learning to take the fruit of the conversation and stand in front of your own soul mirror and ask yourself “How do I do this?”.  It may not be the exact same, but there will be a part of you that wants to blame them, or shame them for doing what they are doing.  That deep inner hurt and hate that we all have is very willing to participate in that sport.

Usually when you are someone who blames others – it comes from a place of guilt inside of you that feels you are to blame for something you have done . . . or not done and can’t seem to come to a place of peace with it.  It is a shadow that follows you everywhere you go . . . in your friendships, your relationships and your acquaintances with others on a less personal level.  It all adds up to a feeling of emptiness and loneliness that drains the joy and happiness out of your life.  Taking ownership without feeling the need to defend yourself  or offend anyone is the key to bringing back the joy in life.

BLAME= the need to make others at fault or wrong because we are feeling inadequate, incomplete and unhappy.
SHAME= the feeling of being wrong or wronged somehow for your choices and decisions that affected yourself and others
GAME= the energy of karma contributing to the same lesson being shared and exchanged over and over again without learning or growing.
