Dear Ones,
When you think of other people, are you ‘thinking’ with your mind or are you reaching out to them with your heart? When you have a ‘thought’ of another person you are actually reaching out, energetically, to them across the distance between you, whether that is across the room or across the ocean. You might even be thinking of someone who has crossed over to The Other Side and you can connect with them through the veil.
Knowing that your thoughts are creating energy connections, why would you ever think ill of someone else? How many people seem to believe that their job on Planet Earth is to be the judge of other people! We want you to think about that – is it REALLY your job to judge others? When you have looked for guidance about your Life Purpose, is the answer ever really ‘to be the judge of everyone else’?
What if your true job were to love everyone else? We’re not saying here that you must LIKE every person that you meet or hear about. But what if you were to hold them in the energy of Love so that they might have the best chance to make the most of their own life, free of judgment from you? This is a spiritual practice that is worth cultivating.
Many will tell you that you must learn to separate the person from the act or behavior, and this is true, for good people sometimes make choices that you might wish they had not. But instead of judging a person for that choice, what if you were to hold them in the idea of love, that perhaps they have learned from that choice and would not make the same one in the future? Could you find a more compassionate space in your heart-mind then?
People around you are judging all the time. They often think that it is their job to judge YOU. What do you want them to use for criteria? Is there any part of you that likes the idea of their judging you from their [limited!] perspective? No one person knows everything that is going on in another person’s life, no matter how close they are with each other. No one knows all the thoughts that go through another person’s head before he or she acts or chooses a particular behavior. No one else knows what you were thinking when you made a decision. Why do you suppose that you can understand enough about another person to make a judgment about them?
Try giving yourself a vacation from being The Judge. See what happens when you catch yourself about to say something judgmental about another person. Reach for the compassionate thing to say instead and see how you feel.
Expressing compassion for another is not only the wise choice to make, it also brings a benefit to you. The energy of judgment is narrow and constricting. The energy of compassion is expansive. What kind of energy do you want to have at work in your body and spirit when you have a choice? Choose compassion.
And remember that what you put out into the world is the energy of what you attract to yourself. If you reach out with compassion to others you will receive that expansive energy of compassion back into your own energy field.
Ahhhhh, doesn’t that feel better?
And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: Going ‘Home’!
May 25, 2010 — RosemaryI know the feeling of being ‘home’ when I step onto the Big Island of Hawaii. Every time, and I’ve been there often, it creates such a feeling of peace just to touch the Earth there. I’ve had some amazing spiritual experiences in the Hawaiian Islands and have loved being there, even the week that was rainy from start to finish. I probably learned the most spiritual lessons that week! And every visit since then has held even greater learnings for me.
But lately I’ve been feeling drawn to the West Coast of America, and that’s a bit of a surprise to me. Having spent most of my life in the DC area, I never thought I’d consider living near LA but that’s on the radar screen. So why is this coming up at this time in my life? Am I supposed to move there immediately? What about this house in Colorado where we live now?
Have you ever felt drawn to move or to travel or to be somewhere other than where you are in a given moment? I think Mother Earth is calling each of us to be in the spot where she can support us more fully as we go through the coming changes. It might be near to where we currently live or it might be thousands of miles away. We might even need to split our time between 2 homes to tap into different Earth energy depending on the time of year and our activities. I once felt an overwhelming urge to visit Hawaii and a week later we were on a plane! That was the trip where we met a Kahuna and had some wonderful experiences.
Where are you feeling that you should visit? Or do you feel that you are nearing the time to make a move? Is some external event or person causing you to change where you live? This is all wonderful, even if the circumstances don’t FEEL wonderful at the moment! You are receiving guidance from the Universe about your next move. You are being led to the next home, the place where Mother Earth can cradle you in her arms and nurture you with her loving energy. Whether the cause of the move is economic, emotional or expedient doesn’t matter. Trust that you are being helped to the place where you need to be for the time being.
There are no accidents. Whatever is happening to indicate that you need to be somewhere on Mother Earth other than exactly where you are now is a sign that you are on the spiritual path of personal growth. And if you feel perfectly content in the exact spot where you now are, then you can relax and enjoy the connection and the nurturing/nourishing energy that comes from the Mother. Where are you planning to visit on your next trip? Do you have a feeling that maybe you should go somewhere soon? Maybe the time isn’t right yet but you feel that the time is coming. In that case, you might want to get a picture of the place to which you feel drawn and post it on your vision board, or above your desk, so that you can send a message to Mother Earth letting her know that you hear her call and that you agree to follow that call when the time is right.
Get ready to pack your bags! Whether moving your home or visiting somewhere else, Mother Earth will support you wherever you go!
