A Wake in the Water!                               

Greetings friends and family,

Are we having fun yet??  Welcome to the preview of our coming times.  Word on the street is that things are going to continue to speed up, heat up, crack up, and break down.  We are on our way to a peaceful planet on rocketship Earth.  Over recent weeks and months I have collected some tips and tricks for expanding our capacities to ...

Enjoy the ride!!

********************************

1.  Laugh more!!  A good sense of humor goes a long way!  It's definately time to LAUGH MORE!  Whatever is happening in your personal world or going on in the world of others around you, I guarantee you that learning to see the lighter side of things will prove to be a tremendous asset during these changing and challenging times.  Make fun and silly jokes, dance, sing, and find things to do that simply bring you joy.

2.  Look carefully at your challenges to find the opportunity for improvement.  Often times we decide we don't like something simply because it makes us feel different or changes things that we were quite happy with before.  We can learn to accept change as something good, an improvement in some way.  I know there are circumstances where this seems impossible.  It certainly did to me when my husband passed away unexpectedly.  But deep down inside, and after a sufficient period of grieving and forgiveness, I was able to see that his journey on this plane was complete, and a new one for me had begun.  Learn to trust that the changes we are experiencing now, no matter how challenging or difficult, are truly taking each and every one of us to a better place.

3.  If you think your life is just fine the way it is, think again!  This is a big topic so let's visit it again from a different perspective.  What if you are really enjoying your life just the way it is?  Each of us has many things in our daily life that already bring us comfort and joy.  Why should we want to change those things?  Here's why.  We are involved in a world-wide planetary shift in consciousness that is taking all of us toward greater peace within us, around us, and within the hearts and minds of all people on earth.  Learn to perceive LIFE with new eyes.  To accurately understand the true nature of LIFE, we must learn to discern reality through an OPEN HEART.  Gone are the days when it is each man or woman for himself or herself.  If you are thinking in those terms, I respectfully suggest that you begin to explore the meaning One Heart, One Voice, One People, One Spirit, and One Love!  All life and all beings, human and animal alike, along with planet Earth (as well as the entire Universe) function as an inter-dependent organism.  Although we may not have been taught about existence from this point of view, it is vital to our current process of awakening to a truer interpretation of the realities around us ...

4. Trust!  ... which leads us to learning to TRUST that there is a greater intelligence orchestrating a collosal movement of growth and evolution that is guiding us toward a monumental change that effects all life in the most positive way possible.  Think about it.  Do you think for one moment that any government is going to come up with the ultimate solution to alter the circumstances on earth at this time that are threatening the lives and well-being of 7 billion people, most of whom are dying from illness and starvation??  Trust  is a most important quality in which to find solice in times of so many significant challenges.

5.  Find a spiritual practice that strengthens you.  For many of us, a spiritual practice that brings us deep satisfaction can be a difficult thing to find.  Don't let that stop you from looking!  Allow yourself to check out new ideas and wonderings.  Listen carefully to the things that your friends and family do to create spiritual peace.  If it doesn't feel like a fit for you at first, you may be able to make some modifications that will tailor the practice to suit your personal needs and desires.  A strong relationship with the Divine is very much a part of having a strong relationship with yourself.  Strength in this way is a true benefit to you and to all those whose lives you touch.

People get ready, there's a train a'coming, picking up passengers coast to coast.  All you need is FAITH to hear the diesels hummin'.  Don't need no ticket, you just   >> GET ON BOARD! <<

6.  Give up your bad habits.  Yup, that's what I said.  The time is now.  There's no more room for fooling around.  That's the gift!  It's easier to give things up when your back is up against a wall, isn't it?  My dear brother or sister reading this, if you haven't figured out that we're ALL up against a wall by now, LET THIS BE YOUR WAKE-UP CALL!!  It's time to open your heart and free up your mind from unproductive thought forms, habits and behaviors.  Take on one thing at a time.  I assure you that you will find positive changes most liberating because, believe it or not, if you are not yet seeking improvements in your body, mind and heart, then you are swimming against the current.  Take positive steps in the direction of improving the quality of these things and you will discover an amazing energetic support system that is ready to swoop you up and carry you to the fulfillment of your desires!  The entire Universe is loco-moting a peace train, all you have to do is get on board!

7.  Find joyful things to do that nurture your personal peace, improve your relaxation and rejuvenation.  Take walks, ride a bike, gather with neighbors and friends for common meals, visit peaceful places, watch uplifting films, experience soothing music, do kind things for yourself and for others.

8.  Rest more, exercise more, eat healthy foods.  Yes, all are necessary for sustaining health and well-being.  Life is requiring and supporting greater efficiency of all of our bodily systems and functions.  As stated before, try it out and see for yourself.  We are surrounded by energetic support direct from the vast universe around us to make changes that improve the quality of life in all ways.

9.  Commune with Nature.  This activity has tremendous value in my life.  For years I have been writing a column called 'A Spiritual Walk in the Woods' about my daily adventures of walking with my dog Krista in our local forest.  The benefits of spending time in nature are tremendous.  The most immediate one is that it gives your mind an opportunity to relax while imbuing your senses with a vast array of beauty.  Nature is also full of Divine Wisdom.  It's the perfect place to look for answers that may be alluding you.  (see my BlogSpot for more)

10.  Gather with like-minded people.  This is a really good way to support your efforts to awaken to the greater aspects of yourself.   As we move toward new ways of being and of sharing, we support our own efforts and those of others when we gather in community with like-minded people. 

Come

Together!

Oneness in Ashland

Our local website for events and offerings from the World Oneness Movement is www.onenessinashland.org.   For more information and other locations for receiving these amazing gifts visit www.OnenessUniversity.org The Oneness Blessing carries an intent to assist us in awakening to our higher mind, higher heart, higher consciousness -- as we are being cultured and requested to respond in new ways to our newly emerging earth reality.  It is a gift of energy transmitted from one heart to another via the gesture of placing hands on your head.  Freely given, this gift may be experienced like a gentle, loving nudge of support toward new realizations and choices in our awakening world.  Almost without exception, people who receive the blessing earnestly are reporting wonderful advancements in the quality of their lives.  I am among those who can joyfully report that the greatest passions of my life are being wholly supported and buoyed through this process.

The Path of Gratitude
Mark your calendar for Tuesday, Sept. 28 for an amazing presentation by Irene Carver about her Keys to Gratitude 7-9pm at the Railroad Museum (formerly RVML) in Ashland.  You won't want to miss this  pure gift of Wisdom & Grace!
