♥Happy New~ Moon July 15th, 2015!!! ♥

The major focus of this New Moon cycle is change. My darlings smile and go with it change is a way of life. Things are always moving and shifting and things that no longer serve us should be released. Look at yourself like a house and you need to take time to clean out the dirt that collects and enjoy the beauty of it and sometimes change things out a little. Keep it all fresh and inviting.

These cycles of change help us to not become stagnant and to break bad habits, if need be. When you open the door to the cosmic flow of change you will feel lighter… like YOU!  That’s pretty cool right?

Think of the “ahhhmazing” art you can create now and go for it.  Let loose.  And yes we are all creative in our own way.

Key word:  change

Affirmation:  I welcome change for the beauty that it is.

Stone for this cycle:

Calcite:  This stone helps us to tap into our psychic abilities so we can make the best choices keeping us calm, balances chakras and is helpful in creative pursuits.

Dalai Lama's inspiration

peak mind summit in California

Of late I got to see a webcast of the Dalai Lama. He began with talking about our wonderful mind. That drew me in right away.
Meditation was highly promoted with us meditating together. This silence of the mind and single focusing of attention being essential and thus a good way to help with the sensory distractions. A skill we all can easily learn. In particular one type of meditation was brought up analytical meditation. We hear, analyze and experience. In this way we can see the beauty and truth of the mind. When asked a question about how to resolve an issue one feels torn with he said to use the mind and heart together.
One thing that was a major focus was how compassion is so necessary. So much of the time the differences of others is seen such as the varied paths ones follow. Yet all religions (spiritualities) speak of love and thus if we dwell on love instead of differences then all is good.
God speaks to us about being as children. Think of how children are. They play together and do not see differences they are about love. They have no problem showing affection to one another. this is how we all should be... of wonder. Of love!!!
It is for all of us to live with open hearts not self centered attitudes to aid humanity in love seeing all in beauty not in negative ways. Respecting all no matter what path they follow even if it is one free of spirituality (religion). No limits.
I will say one rather wonderful way Dalai Lama expressed this is when one asked him how he felt to be in the position he is in to help others. He said we are all the same. We are all humans. He said he could choose to look at himself as Dalai Lama but then he would be only one and alone but seeing himself as part of humanity then he was not alone there were many with him. a most humble and beautiful way to see things.
Let us all approach one another with love, honor and focus our wonderful minds and know that together we do wonderful things in the world. ☺

Peace: let it begin with me

This song really says it all. Peace must begin with us. Within each of us. When those inner conflicts are resolved then we are able to have peace with all.

So again this peace begins with self and then should be expanded out to our loved ones and then to the rest of the world. Yes this means ALL Our brothers and sisters, of all species.

Unfortunately some families and loved ones with the closeness they have think it is okay to put others above their loved ones. This is not the way of truth. This is part of the falsehood that tells us that we have to put on a show for others, appear to be better then them, and that things are of more value then individuals. 

I came upon some interesting information about Peace in Hebrew. It relies on the Hebrew root slm which means  to be complete or sound. This completeness really expresses a wholeness of self that does not look for blame, does not deem others unworthy of our time,... For when we are in a state of full peace we accept all and love all and all are welcome. That is truth. Thinking otherwise is limiting.

Peace is very easy, we just love all and its covered. It is time to take out that big eraser and remove blame, judgement, cruelty, prejudice,rejection,... 

Time to change priorities by seeing with the eyes and heart of truth.

I became very inspired to write this today as we are in a time of the summer peace summit and I wanted to take the time to share this with all and encourage the same. If you feel a need to be part of this go here: http://summerofpeace.net

Peace a lovely part of love be with you all!

The flame of the soul can never be destroyed

Something really cool happened today and it inspired a whole love blog. I went to get the mail and saw these two stones. They caught my eye as they were very similar.
Here they are:

So whats all the hype about them you say??? Besides the fact that they are beautiful, and created by God??? Well as I was walking back I noticed they are not two stones but one. seeeeee:

Two as one.. Twin flames. Makes me think of a Native American blessing I really love and I do cuz it shows how we are individual and yet connected as one:

Now you will feel no rain,
for each of you will be shelter for the other.

Now you will feel no cold,
for each of you will be warmth for the other.

Now there is no more loneliness.

Now you are two persons,
but there is only one life before you.

May your days together be good and long
upon the earth.

Groovy huh? 

 “You're still alive. And that means you'll love and be loved...and in the end, nothing else really matters.”
― Nicholas Sparks, The Best of Me

Yesterday I watched a Nicholas Sparks movie. Ya, I am a romantic. What you gonna do? I felt like so much really fit for myself. I guess I love his movies/books so much because they feel like home to me. Truth pure truth. Unconditional pure love that never ends. That is home to me. The feeling of security knowing I am enough love is enough and all the rest is not worth feeding. This is the home I build.

Yes, the love of the twin-flames.  You know that other half of self that with them you feel like you finally make sense. Ahhh pure bliss.

Life is a curious and wild and intense experience and all of it is about love, I feel. When we look at all things with love then that is all we see. Then we are able to find our twin flame. And when that happens its like your heart explodes over and over again in purest joy!

“Because that was the night I knew I loved you. That I’d really and truly fallen in love.”
― Nicholas Sparks, The Best of Me

Those who know me well know that I will live my life for me and for the one I love and if they are cool with it fine if not fine. That is my priority!!!

 “Because I knew even then how rare that kind of love is. Only the luckiest people get to experience it at all.”
― Nicholas Sparks, The Best of Me

I know I am one of the lucky ones who has dared to love with all my heart unconditionally and for this I will always be infinitely proud of myself for. One thing I learned long ago is what you expect or look for is what you will find.  So look for the truth as that is all pure beauty and you cannot go wrong with it.

So why all the quotes and comment about Nicholas Sparks. I love how he expresses love. Love is an amazing force if we jump into the depths of it we will never loose. I wish all would know this. It is true.  It is all the other stuff that hurts.. rejection, blame, judgement, messed up priorities. Its not love. Don't feed all the blah stuff just feed the ahhh stuff. 

I also have to go back to my roots too. I know the Bible is not popular these days but it was the one thing God gave the world to help us out in life. Like a help book. Its all good I am not having a popularity contest anyway. Anyyyy way a scripture I really adore say so much:

1 Corinthians 11:11 Nevertheless, in the Lord woman is not independent of man nor man of woman

So why do I love this so much???  Well  shows how God never intended for man  and woman to be without each other. Hrmmm sounds like twin~flames to me.

this poem holds a special place in my heart and has since I was a teen. That to me was the essence of love. I guess to many it may seem silly but love is really been my life thing.. just to love and be loved unconditionally. 

The Magic Of Love

Love is like magic
And it always will be.
For love still remains
Life's sweet mystery!!
Love works in ways
That are wondrous and strange
And there's nothing in life
That love cannot change!!
Love can transform
The most commonplace
Into beauty and splendor
And sweetness and grace.
Love is unselfish,
Understanding and kind,
For it sees with its heart
And not with its mind!!
Love is the answer
That everyone seeks...
Love is the language,
That every heart speaks.
Love can't be bought,
It is priceless and free,
Love, like pure magic,
Is life's sweet mystery!!

- Helen Steiner Rice -

These words are from the bible I always think of them when  think of the other poem:

 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

1 Corinthians 13:4–8a

 So comes an end to my missive of love. But alas not the end to the love that I shall express in life!!! Watch out world here I come as my father wanted me to.
