MYSTIC MESSAGE: from The Divine Feminine: Spirit, Soul & Ego

Dear Ones,

Planet Earth is calling you to be your Greater Self at this time. What does
this mean for you?

It is time to stop thinking of yourself as a small person, imperfect, flawed,
weak or fearful. You are a powerful force in the Universe. You are creating the
world with your thoughts. What are you creating?

Many people want to deny responsibility for what is going on in the world
around them but this is not an accurate description of how the world works.

You are made up of three essences: your Spirit, your Soul and your Ego. All
three create the YOU that you are in the world today.

Your Spirit is the eternal part of you that transcends time and space and
personality. This Spirit is perfect and lives before and beyond this lifetime
of yours. This Spirit is the Divine essence of you and your Spirit recognizes
the Spirit in all other beings.

Your Soul is the essence of you that designs the syllabus for this lifetime,
coordinating with others in your Soul Group to assist each Soul in learning its
lessons. It is your Soul who is the director of your experiences in this
lifetime so that you can learn the lessons that you came to Earth to learn.

Your Ego is your personality for this lifetime, the body and circumstances that
your Soul chose to provide the opportunities for you to learn your lessons. It
is your Ego that creates situations in your life where you must choose your
reactions. Not all of these situations are pleasant but all are opportunities
for your growth.

If you look around yourself today you might be in the middle of a difficult
period and arguing that you did not wish to be in this circumstance, or you
might think that other people are victimizing you so, therefore, this is not of
your choosing. We would have you step up to a higher platform from which to
view this situation. Your Ego is offering yo ur Soul the opportunity to learn,
and the other Souls involved agreed with yours before you were born that they
would help you to learn.

Now we are not saying that it is acceptable for one human being to abuse
another or to mistreat someone, but it is up to you to decide how you will
respond to these situations. If you have suffered at the hands of another
person then you can choose to grow and move on or you can choose to continue to
suffer by staying attached to that person or situation, in thought or in
physical proximity.

Remember that you are always able to choose your response. Even when you feel
you have no choice, you are always able to choose how you think and feel about
a situation, especially if you are seeking the lesson to be learned rather than
giving your power to another person or circumstance.

And so your Soul is constantly inviting you to learn the lesson and move on to
the next one. If you consider that the Universe truly is a benevolent place
that wants to support you in your personal growth in this lifetime, then you
spend less time railing against what has happened to you and more time looking
for the support you need to complete a lesson.

What if your current difficult situation is really a manifestation of your
Soul’s agreement with another Soul for them to learn a lesson about compassion,
serving others, changing habits or harmful ways? Separate who you ARE from what
you THINK.

You are a Being of Light, that eternal Spirit that is perfect, in this moment
and in every moment. No one can take that away from you. Your Soul is allowing
circumstances to present to you the lessons that you need to learn. Your Ego is
participating by bringing those circumstances into your life. Your choice is to
learn the lesson and move on or to stay in those circumstances until you do.

You are always at choice!

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: Step into the Flow

Sometimes I think we’re all striving to achieve something that will allow us to say, ‘I have arrived!’ when what we really want to do is be so in the flow that we are enjoying each moment too much to stop and ‘arrive.’

This is the journey we were born to experience. Every step along the way has the gift of a lesson to be learned, some more gentle than others. But always there is an opportunity to learn. If we resist, if we try to stand our ground in the face of the energy of flow, we spend all of our energy in futile resistance. [Just ask any Trekkie and you will hear, ‘Resistance is futile’!]

It’s easy, though, to move to the two extremes of the concept of ‘being in flow.’

For some, it seems easier to ‘go with the flow’ and relinquish all power to choose the direction of life. For others, there is an urge to constantly resist or try to ignore the energy of the flow, the ‘ostrich syndrome.’ Neither choice makes life the journey of fulfillment that it can be.

When, instead, we choose to determine our Soul Purpose and then to follow the path of fulfilling that purpose, we are participating in the flow of life.

No one’s path is the same as another person’s. This needs to be emphasized, especially when we get into relationships and try to make the relationship move as two people in lockstep trying to move forward as one. Each of us must determine our own path, our own cycle, our own rhythm. And we must take responsibility for taking the actions that keep us in flow with our unique path.

Giving over your power to another person, group, institution, church takes you out of step with your Path of Soul Purpose. Making a conscious choice, however, to join paths with others at certain points along the journey, is your prerogative. But th e choice must be a conscious one, not one in which you allow yourself to step onto someone else’s path because you are not seeking your own. Your Path is Your Path, based on your unique Soul Purpose and Soul Journey.

When your life cycle seems to be at an ebb it is sometimes tempting to allow someone else to take charge of the direction of your path, but this is giving away your power.

Face the direction of your dreams and you will see the Path of Your Soul Purpose unfolding before you. Step onto that path. Have confidence that, when you are moving with the flow of the cycles of your life, you will have everyone around you that you need, all the resources that you need, all the opportunities to learn your lessons.

And if you are unhappy with where you are at the moment, remind yourself that ‘this, too, shall pass’ as the new cycle will begin soon!

Most of the clients I work with as a coach are in some period of transition in their lives, feeling that there must be something more or that there is something that is just beyond their reach. Usually the work is connecting them to their guidance so that they can step out confidently, thinking only about the next step, what is theirs to do in this present moment. This is learning to get into flow.

Focus on the one next step along the Path. Know and recognize the Path of Your Soul Purpose, then follow it.

Go with the flow! But first learn the flow for you!

MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Cycles, Rhythms and YOU!

Cycles. Rhythms. Seasons.

Everything in your world is made of energy and energy has a flow inherent in its properties. Nothing can sit still within the flow.

You can try to stand perfectly still and let the world around you flow by. But you will be resistance in the unfolding of all that is surrounding you and it will take a lot of energy for you to resist flowing with the energies as they move.

Some people try to resist and even to move backward against the current of the flow, but they can be swept away by the tide when it overpowers them.

Flowing with the cycles of energy provides the choice that contains the least resistance, preserving much of your own energy for you to consciously choose to allocate to other endeavors. This does not mean that you give over your own personal power to what is happening around you. Rather you go within yourself to connect to the energy flow that is appropriate to you and your Path of Soul Purpose.

The steps to living within the flow are easy to master. First, you must learn to tap your own inner wisdom for guidance about the direction that is in consonance with your Path of Soul Purpose. Are you clear about your Soul Purpose? Do you know who you were born to be at this time on Planet Earth? When you know the direction that allows you to fulfill your purpose, you have the context from which to evaluate the guidance you receive from your inner wisdom.

Do you know how to access your inner wisdom? Meditation, journaling, guided imagery, hypnosis, and other tools of inner exploration will put you in touch with your own inner wisdom for the guidance that shines a light on your Path. With the information you receive, you are ready to move forward.

After you have received inner guidance about the direction of your path, you must then take action in that direction. It is not enough to know where you are headed. If you don’t put one foot before the other and move, you will be standing in that current resisting the flow. The next step to living within the flow is an actual step.

Step out in the direction you have determined is yours to follow. Move. Take guided action. FEEL the sensation of being in the flow of energy that will carry you forward. Each step brings you closer to allowing the current to carry you so with the steps you take you can relax and allow yourself to be supported on your journey.

The cycles of Life lift you up and sometimes allow you to slow, just as the waves of the ocean come into shore and then recede. When you are flowing with Life you do not resist the periods that are slow – you allow yourself to make the conscious choice to be in that perfect state. Just as the seasons of the year invite you to act differently so that you can stay in alignment with the differing energies of each season, so the cycles of your Life, of the Conscious Life, invite you to make the choices that are most appropriate to the energies within that cycle.

Be active when the guidance suggests that you are active. Be still when the energies invite you to go inside. Move slowly or quickly as you are guided.

The more you practice understanding the energy of your own flow the smoother will be your passage through the cycles, rhythms and seasons of your Life!

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: Big Bands and the Evolution of Consciousness

Do you remember when you were a teenager and your parents complained about your music? I do!

My Dad played in a big band and I grew up listening to Glenn Miller and Tommy Dorsey. Then came folk music – Peter, Paul & Mary and The Kingston Trio. The Beatles and the British Invasion arrived next. The progression goes on. But my parents remembered when THEIR parents objected to the music they enjoyed in the 40s & 50s. I’m sure their parents shocked my great-grandparents with the Roaring Twenties music!

How easy it is to dismiss what is new. How easy it can be to dismiss the messenger who brings in the new. And, yet, isn’t each messenger wanting to be heard?

What is the new message coming to you? It might not even be from young people but the source might be your intuition, your own personal guidance system. Are you listening?

It’s easy to look outside ourselves and consider the source of information so that we can justify dismissing it. Sometimes it is more difficult to look inside to find and listen to the guidance that we find there. Do you honor your own inner guidance?

Maybe the way to start honoring intuition it to start listening to the messages from the young people. They might actually be more tuned in than we, the ‘old folks,’ are!

Now I’m not advocating having to listen to the music of the next couple of generations if you don’t like it, but really listen to that younger person’s view of the world.

When our daughter was starting in school she told a story about a little girl in her class and I tried to get her to describe the girl to me, although I knew it was an African-American girl in a mostly white student classroom. Mindy said, ‘You know her, Mommy, she’s the one with the braids!’ It never occurred to her to differentiate the little girl from herself by the difference in the color of skin. I was excited that, in the new generation, the person was not identified by race. What a change from my parents’ generation, with separate water fountains and different parts of the bus! The children were teaching us to let go of old notions of differences.

What can you learn today from the young people around you? Enjoy the exploration! Have a conversation with a young person where you really listen to them. Ask questions and honor them when they open up. They’re really pretty cool. [But don’t say that because that’s an old person’s term!]

Be willing to explore new ideas even if they come from someone younger. We oldsters know a lot, and the world can learn from our wisdom, but sometimes we see through fixed bifocals, with only our own perspective, not seeing all the possibilities that are present.

Be willing to evolve your own thoughts by considering new ideas before you dismiss them. Old and young alike are being called to help all of humanity to evolve. Don’t be the one who holds back human evolution. Contribute, by opening yourself to the possibility of changing how you think.

Your creative juices can flow when you consider ideas, but if you lock yourself behind the doors of your fixed opinions, you get stuck.

Stay in the flow. Be a part of the Consciousness Evolution!

MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: The Wisdom of the Generations

Dear Ones,

The children are crying out for the love and acceptance of the adults in their lives. They know that they are here on Planet Earth on a mission. They feel they have a purpose and they want to be accepted for who they are, not for what they achieve. Are you cooperating?

This is not just referring to the children of your body but also to the children around you, to the generations younger than you are. Do you accept them even though they might be different from you?

Generations develop their own identity on Planet Earth, characterized by certain traits that can be generalized. Astrologers would tell you that the planets define generations and they are correct in that assessment. But the planets do not determine the characteristics – they reflect them.

The Universe has a plan that is unfolding and the people who inhabit Planet Earth at any given time are a part of that unfolding plan. Each Soul who chooses to incarnate at a certain time has agreed to play a part in the plan. Each person joins the Planet at the time that allows their purpose to appear and to serve the others who are with them in the same Earth period.

Whatever is needed on Planet Earth at a given time determines the characteristics of the generation on the Planet at that time. Multiple generations inhabit Planet Earth at the same time because their interactions are essential to the unfoldment of the plan. This is why the acceptance of those who are younger is so important. When older generations of human beings discount the advances offered by the newcomers on the Planet the evolution of human consciousness is threatened. Those who do not embrace the wisdom of the young are heralding an Age of Regression, when new thoughts are discounted because the older humans are not of the same mind as the younger. This is an anti-evolution stance to adopt.

Now we are not saying that everything that new generations embrace is part of the growth of human consciousness but it is essential to the development of the human species. The examination of ideas always brings with it the possibility of growth. Discarding an idea merely because it is new does not assist in the development of a culture or a civilization. Adopting a new idea merely because it is new is also not evolutionary.

But examining new ideas for their merit, assessing possibilities instead of staying stuck in the way things have always been, is the path to growth for all human beings. Studying what the young are saying offers insights into why that generation is on Planet Earth at the same time as the examiner. Holding out the possibility that there is something to be learned from the young requires an appreciation for and acceptance of the young who are the messengers of the future.

What is your relationship with new ideas? Do you consider the source and, if it is a new idea from the young people do you automatically dismiss it because you don’t trust their contribution to the evolution of human consciousness? Or do you consider the idea and the young person with the seriousness deserved?

This is not to say that there is not wisdom to be found with the older generations, but if the older person discounts ideas proposed by the younger simply because of the age of the proposer, then there is a deficit in the possibilities of growth for all.

Treat your young people with respect, for they, too, have a role to play in the unfolding of the Universe’s plan, just as you do!

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: How evolutionary are you?

Everything around us seems to be changing, at a far more rapid pace than ever before in human history. I think of my Dad who was born in 1908 and died in 1983. Imagine the changes in his lifetime!

And since his passing, almost 30 years ago, we now have so many instant communication devices that we can barely take a breath without being contacted by another human being. As I write this, Outlook keeps telling me “you’ve got mail!” (ok, not in that old aol voice!) and my iPhone is chiming to let me know I’ve received another text. I can email with people all over the world. My clients are on different continents and we can ‘see’ each other via our videoconference sessions as if we are sitting across the table from each other. We are really connecting through space and time in ways my Dad couldn’t even imagine.

And, yet, are we still Neanderthal’s in our thinking? Have we evolved our consciousness so that we bring new perspectives to activities and behaviors and thoughts in our lives?

I see the nature of ‘mine’ sometimes throwing itself into the mix without a concern for other people or the impact of actions on the community around. There seem to be many conflicted people who cannot find a place within their thoughts and beliefs for the union of individualism with community. We are individuals who live in community with other individuals.

This is the point where human consciousness is inviting us to find a new awareness of these concepts, to move from the either/or thinking of ‘mine’ vs. ‘ours.’ There is a place, in 21st Century thought, for ‘mine’ AND ‘ours.’

In what other areas are you seeing your thoughts or beliefs living in a previous century? Have you carefully examined the thoughts and beliefs that are guiding you through your 21st Century life? If you would live a Conscious Life, then you MUST do the work to choose the thoughts and beliefs that will determine how you live today.

‘Sleepwalking through history’ is not an option for the spiritual student or for the human who chooses to be a part of the evolution of human consciousness. That is what those who have made the choice to avoid evolving are doing – sleepwalking. They think that they are alive but they have shut down the very part of themselves that is fully human and seeking growth.

Constantly assess your thoughts as you go about your day. Am I thinking with consciousness about what I am choosing or am I ‘sleepwalking’? Ask yourself, “Is this thought coming from me or from an old tape created by someone in the past? Is my belief based on 21st Century consciousness or is it coming from something hundreds of years ago that I must understand in a new light?”

If you truly examine your own consciousness then you can choose to assist all of humanity in its evolutionary process.

Choose to evolve beyond Neanderthal thinking. It’s the 21st Century. Your very humanity is calling you to evolve, to move beyond the unconsciousness of ‘sleepwalking.’ Make the choice today. And examine those thoughts and beliefs, especially the unconscious ones, so that you can bring yourself up to date with the evolution of human consciousness in the 21st Century.

My Dad would be excited to be a part of this evolution today!

MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Are You Neanderthal?

Dear Ones,

The world is changing. Are you?

If you are clinging to beliefs that were appropriate 100 years ago and you are refusing to evolve your thinking, then are you being fully human and participating in the evolution of human consciousness?

Humans are evolving animals, with the free will to choose how and at what level they will participate in the evolutionary process. This free will allows the human being to develop levels of consciousness that increase awareness. Other animals are also evolving but it is humans who can choose NOT to evolve.

The joking use of the term ‘Neanderthal’ to describe a person who is still thinking in cave man mentality is really a description of the lack of evolution on the part of the individual being described. The people who lived in caves in those early times of humanity’s presence on Planet Earth were evolving very rapidly. Every experience was a new one that helped to develop the brain and mind of humans who live today. Every new experience created a template against which other experiences could be measured. Deciding what worked and what didn’t, what was tested and tried that succeeded, and what did not fit in that moment, is how the human being was able to learn and grow and evolve.

Language was created to assist in communication that had been accomplished by other means before language appeared. If you have studied your Oxford English Dictionary you have seen how your current day language continues to evolve with usage. Multiple languages developed based on the source language that was evolving in that place and time. Adapting to circumstances is a part of the evolutionary process.

In 21st Century Earth evolution each person can choose whether or not they will continue to learn and to grow or will try to hold all of humanity back by refusing to move forward with their understanding and consciousness.

You have a choice about how you will navigate the 21st Century. Because you are alive at this time on Planet Earth, your Soul agreed to participate in the evolution of humanity and of human consciousness. Every other person around you has also made the same contract with the Universe – to be a part of 21st Century evolution.

Obviously, the evolutionary process in the 21st Century differs from that of the cave people. But, in essence, the process includes trying new things/thoughts, identifying those that advance humanity and those that hold back the flow of evolution, and adopting the growth positions to move human consciousness forward.

Everyone around you is also engaged in this process. Differences among the choices are starting to show broader areas of disagreement because the choices have been occurring for a long time. Some humans have chosen to participate in the growth of consciousness and others have been on a path of constantly choosing to hold back or to go back to an earlier level of consciousness. When these choices are coming from the same position, the differences are small. When, however, they reflect years or centuries of making the same kind of choices, then the differences have veered so far away from each other as to appear irreconcilable.

Understand that the differences you are seeing in the 21st Century reflect the evolution of all humanity. 2012 is a year of choice for all on Planet Earth. It is time to decide which type of human being you will be, and to appreciate that the Souls who have chosen other paths have already made their decisions.

We wish you to choose to continue to be a part of the evolution of human consciousness for there is much yet to be revealed. Only those who believe in the ability of the human being to learn, to grow, to have greater levels of understanding and to contribute to the evolution of the greater consciousness will continue on the path of human evolution. Those who choose to deny that growth and who would deny others the opportunity for that growth will be left behind.

Human beings are evolutionary beings. To deny this, to fight the evolution of consciousness, is to choose to step away from one’s own humanity. It is a poor choice.

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: Choose Beauty

Do you judge yourself to be beautiful or not?

And why do we need to judge ourselves?

It’s funny, isn’t it?, that we allow the outside world to tell us what is beautiful and we can’t ever measure up to it. Even the fashion models that society says are beautiful claim THEY aren’t that beautiful if they are not manipulated by airbrushes and PhotoShop to look as they do in the ads.

I wonder when we stopped looking for beauty within ourselves and projected the search into the mirror. Have people always defined beauty this way?

When my husband and I took a vacation to Mexico several years ago, we stayed at a European resort where there was only one other American family. The rest of the guests were from Europe where their definition of beauty seemed to come from someplace other than the fashion magazines from the US. On the beaches we saw women of all ages enjoying the sunshine with their families at complete ease with their bodies, no matter what their age or dress size was! What a concept! We Americans are so uptight about how we look that we forget to be comfortable in our own skin.

I decided then that beauty is an inside job. Of course I had always heard about not judging people on their looks and I did look at the person inside. But could I apply that to myself? Could I see myself as beautiful no matter what the mirror said? And how could I project a beautiful face if I was worried about how I looked?

Now we are being guided to allow the energy of acceptance and love to decide how our face projects beauty.

Practice looking in a mirror and changing your thoughts then noticing how your face reflects those thoughts. If you think, as you go through your day, about what your face is telling the world about how you feel, you might start making different choices about hanging on to feelings that are not representing the beauty you wish to present outwardly.

Think about how we smile and coo at a cute, innocent little baby. Then think how pinched we get when we are ticked off at a circumstance or another person. Your face is reflecting this energy.

Now think about how the Dalai Lama is always smiling. He has a lot to be angry about, but he chooses happiness.

Our qigong instructor teaches about the ‘feeling state of the Divine.’ She has great access to this state and is always chuckling, like the Dalai Lama. They know something about beauty!

Commit to being beautiful today! Think thoughts of love and acceptance. Start with loving and accepting yourself. Then stay in that energy as much as you can. If you feel your face pinching up, look for the peace and love that will transform you. If you feel yourself sitting with anger or hatred, look for the energies that will put a smile on your face.

You are always at choice when it comes to which feelings you will hang onto and which you will let go of. Make the choice to BE BEAUTY in the world!

MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Are You Beautiful?

Dear Ones,

Beauty. How do you think of or appreciate beauty?

In 21st Century Western culture beauty is defined by pictures that are presented as the model of beauty. Men, women, children are portrayed as the ideal. To too many in the audience, however, this model means that they judge themselves to somehow fall short of measuring up to the ideal. Many see themselves and others as ‘not beautiful’ because they do not meet that ideal that has been created and sold to them.

Beauty has nothing to do with that ideal model that is presented. True Beauty comes from an open and caring heart. The person who cares about other people is beautiful. The one who would make a sacrifice for another is beautiful. The person who loves is beautiful. This has nothing to do with the outer appearance.

It does, however, influence the outer appearance. Have you ever seen a person speak of hatred, of those that they hate? Their face reflects this energy as the musculature and skin are transformed by the energy being expressed. Derision, condescension, hatred, judgment, parsimony, anger – these are all energies that create an energy field around a person’s visage and they present this energy, not the formation of eyes, ears, nose, mouth that form their face.

And one who is speaking of love, of acceptance, of peace, of appreciation – that one has a beatific expression that is created by the energy field associated with these choices. Again, it has nothing to do with the particulars of their facial features. The presentation is created by the energy of the feelings.

So there is an outward expression of the inner energy that creates beauty or ugliness. Do you want to be beautiful?

Then accept others just as they are. Find what you can love in a person rather than differences that you hate. Focus on finding ways to collaborate rather than to compete. Appreciate others and the circumstances in which you find yourself for the lessons they bring to your path of personal growth. Seek peace, in yourself, your relationships and your environment.

Create your outward expression of beauty because the energy of your inner self is reflecting love of yourself, of others and of your life. You will BE beauty and others will appreciate sharing in this energy.

See beauty in others because you see their inner heart, the innocent little one who lives there, not the persona they are presenting because they have not yet learned to feel true beauty within their being. As you carry with you an energy field of beauty you can influence the energy field around you. You can model true inner beauty of spirit and offer that as an option to those around you who do not know how to achieve this on their own yet.

Be Beauty in the world and you will learn to see only beauty around you. Smile, in your heart first and your face will reflect this. Do not return ugliness for ugliness for this does not bring you the beauty you desire in yourself and in your life.

Live as the beauty that you know yourself to be. Start with you and then share that beauty with the world. Perhaps you can change the world’s perception of what true beauty is!

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: Every NOW is a Powerful Place for You to Be!!!

Your true power comes from within you but too often we look outside for approval in order to feel our power. And we also find ourselves giving away our power to others – other people, other circumstances, other times.

Say this with me now – “I claim ALL of my power NOW!”

Some of you might be laughing or doubting or, sadly, crying. But I want you to feel your own power right now in this present moment.

You might think that you aren’t feeling very powerful, but that could be because your definition of ‘power’ is linked to the old model of ‘power over another.’ That is no longer what ‘power’ means! Your inner power has nothing to do with other people or circumstances or times. Your inner power derives from YOU being YOU! And the best way to access that inner power is to bring all your awareness, your consciousness, into the present moment so that you have all your energy available to you in the NOW.

Sometimes I wonder why this is not as easy as it sounds. But I realize that our minds are such fantastic computers, always calculating what might happen and what we’ve learned from what has happened, that it takes a special effort to bring our conscious thoughts into the present moment.

The gift of a great mind is the ability to transcend time. And the gift of a great consciousness is to be able to access fully this present moment in time.

Imagine that you can bring all your awareness into this moment NOW and to fully focus in the NOW in which you are existing. This is powerful stuff!

In classes, I sometimes ask for a volunteer to stand with me and concentrate fully on some problem they are having outside the class and really use their mind to focus on that problem. I can touch them with my finger and push them off balance! [I never let them fall, of course!] Then I ask them to bring their attention fully to their power center, the Third Chakra, the Dan Tien, that energy center that is the seat of your personal energy in your body. Holding attention here, focusing fully on the body’s power center, located a few inches below the navel, gives such stability and power that no matter how hard I push I cannot get the volunteer to move. It’s a dramatic demonstration of bring your consciousness into the present moment so that you can access all of your power!

Try this exercise yourself and see how it feels to bring your attention to your power center and to focus your attention in the NOW. Breathe. Then move into your next activity. Come from your own inner power. Move through your day taking time to focus in the NOW.

And if you need practice, try meditation. Sometimes people have a lot of trouble with meditation and I hear complaints that they can’t still their minds enough. I believe that meditation can be practiced without having to fight your mind’s tendency to think. Allow yourself to practice being fully present to this moment NOW and don’t worry about the thoughts that come. Also, don’t attach to those thoughts and feel you must ‘think them through.’ Allow them to drift by like the clouds in the sky and bring your attention back to the NOW.

NOW is all we have. Enjoy this NOW and let go of the past and the future. Happy NOW!
