THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Focus on the Beauty of the Moment

August 2, 2010 — Rosemary

Dear Ones,

We are pleased that so many of you are taking time to ‘smell the roses,’ as the saying goes.  It is so important for the human soul to take time to enjoy beauty, to be present to the beauty that is surrounding life, and to share beauty with others.

When you are immersed in your work or your problems to the exclusion of what is around you then you are not living a fully human and conscious life.  There is beauty in every moment, somewhere in your vicinity.  Look for it.  Is it the magnificence of the sunrise or sunset?  Is there a beautiful hummingbird at your window feeder?  Can you see a child’s perfect smile or hear an older person’s knowing laugh?  Is there a color nearby that looks beautiful to you?  Did you hear music that you love or see someone who made you smile or enjoy your pet today?

You do not have to look far to find beauty.  But what if your attention is focused on what is NOT beautiful around you?  What if you are struggling or looking at clutter or tired of drab surroundings?  What can you do?

Do you realize that to live a Conscious Life you must be the one who chooses where to focus your attention?  Just because something pops up in your awareness does not mean that you must linger with that thought or focus all your attention on it.  This is the first lesson in stilling the mind for meditation.  It is not that you must expend effort in trying to keep thoughts from arising in your mind, for your mind’s purpose is to bring thoughts into your conscious awareness.  Rather, it is your lesson to learn to allow the thoughts to drift through your awareness without your attaching your awareness to them.  Just as you allow clouds to drift across the sky, so can you allow thoughts to drift across the sky of your mind without trying to cling to them or hold onto them in your awareness.  Letting go of thoughts so that they can drift through your consciousness allows you to deepen relaxation into the meditative state.

When you are not meditating, you can choose whether or not to attach your focus to the thoughts that are drifting through your consciousness.  Ask yourself, ‘Is this thought that I am having the one that I wish to focus on?’  If the answer is ‘No’ then shift your focus.  If you feel that this is too difficult for you to do, then look for the beauty around you.  Hold the thought in your mind with the awareness of the beauty that is there for you in that moment.  Allow both thoughts to be in your awareness.  Can you find a way to understand, in that precious moment in time, that whatever problem you have in your focus is counterbalanced to some degree by an element of beauty that also exists in that moment for you?  This is true in every moment, no matter what the problem is that you are facing.

Beauty is important in life so that you can see beyond the troublesome energies that try to bombard you.  The media, the naysayers, the negative commentaries, the news – all are trying to get you to focus on something that drains your energy and takes your focus away from beauty.  But you are conscious human beings.  You have the ability to choose where to place your focus.  You can seek beauty where other forces would have you see only negativity.

There is tragedy in the world.  There are uncomfortable things to see and experience.  But there is also always beauty.  Watch a raindrop slide down a windowpane and wonder about Nature rather than curse the thunderstorm.  When you are feeling lonely go out and smile at a stranger or two.  There is beauty in the faces of other people if you but look for it.

Surround yourself with beauty in your home.  Is there a peaceful place where you can enjoy looking around you?  Have you created a haven of beauty that allows you to shut out the outside world?  If not, create that haven as soon as possible.  Use Beauty to create peace for yourself.

And remember to look for the beauty in every moment, even if it is just to look in the mirror and see the perfect human being gazing back at you!

And so it is.

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Help others and raise your vibration!

July 26, 2010 — Rosemary
Dear Ones,

We wish you to be a blessing to those around you.  Do you think of yourself as such?  When you think of helping others, do you do it from a position of humility or do you consider your help from a position of pride?

Many people think that helping others is something that charities do formally.  Oh, they might occasionally hold a door for someone else but they don’t look for the extra help that they can offer.  It is one thing to hold the door for the person behind you but do you look around to see if there is another way to help or another person for whom you might wait while holding the door?  Do you notice the people around you who could use a little bit of help just to make things easier?

The sensitive ones among you live this way, totally aware of those around them and what help can be offered at any time.  Think of being sensitive to others’ needs as being tuned into the vibrations that another person is sending out.  If someone is struggling to carry a load of packages and drops one, they are signaling, in an energetic way, that they need to have the package picked up.  If no one offers to help then they must do so awkwardly and then try to regain their equilibrium.  If, on the other hand, you pick up on their distress and reach down for them to pick up their dropped package, you send out a vibration of Love, as shown by your assistance to another human being.

Notice that we did not say that you must feel ‘love’ for that other human being.  Rather, your assisting them comes from a heart-level vibration that is spreading the frequency of Love in the world.  Does this make sense to you?

Every action, every emotion, every thought has its own vibration.  There are very different frequencies associated with emotions such as Love and Hate.  There are very different frequencies associated with Helping and Ignoring.  The energy that comes from the Heart, such as Love and Helping energies, is of a higher vibratory frequency than the energy of Hate or Ignoring.  Your task as a person who is evolving human consciousness is to lift your own vibration at every opportunity.  The question to ask yourself is, ‘How can I raise my own vibration?’

Are you aware that every time that you make a choice to do something that comes from your Heart you are helping to raise the consciousness of all humanity?  As you act within the energy of higher frequencies you modify your own energetic field to resonate outwardly that higher vibration.  Everyone and everything around you benefits from this higher vibration.

Why is this important at this time?  YOU are important at this time because you are learning to lift your own vibratory frequency level and, thus, have an impact on your environment.  The natural environment that surrounds you needs this assistance.  The people around you need for you to do this.  Even situations, especially emotionally- charged situations, need for a higher vibration to lift them from the mire in which they reside.

In the 21st Century much of Planet Earth, including her inhabitants, suffers from neglect (at best) and intentional damage (at worst).  The environment is struggling to gain equilibrium just as the person who must awkwardly juggle packages while reaching down to retrieve a dropped package is struggling to do this alone.  The Planet needs your assistance and there are many other people in your environment who also need your help.

Think about ways in which you can help the Planet and her people, the oceans and ocelots, the forests and the fauns.  All about you there are vibrations of neglect and disharmony and distress and damage.  YOU, however, have the power to counteract these vibrations by radiating outwardly the energy vibration of LOVE.

Does it sound as if we are describing the so-called ‘tree huggers’ and ‘hippies’ of days gone by?  This is not what we are suggesting here, although there is nothing wrong with the message of Love that these folks shared. The important thing for you to understand is that everything is energy, everything has a level of vibration associated with it and we call this vibration that thing’s ‘frequency.’  All of humanity, all of the creatures on and in Planet Earth and the very planet itself are experiencing the opportunity to be lifted up in vibratory frequency so that Love can radiate through the world and other, lower vibrations, like Hate, can be transformed.  Radiate Love from your own heart center without judgment, without pride, without worrying about how it is being received and you will be doing your work to lift the entire Planet to a higher vibratory frequency.

In future messages we will talk about how important this is for the future on Planet Earth.

For now, send out Love.

And so it is.

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Just for today – be happy!

July 19, 2010 — Rosemary

Dear Ones,

Happiness isn’t buying something or having something or achieving something.  Happiness isn’t having someone love you or having friends or not having debts.

Happiness is being a person who has decided to be happy.

Think about the moments you have had that have made you feel happy.  When someone proposed marriage.  When a child made you laugh.  When you received that gift you had been longing for.  When you graduated or were offered that job or got a raise.  You felt happy afterward but wasn’t it fleeting?  What changed about you that caused that happiness to linger within you?

Too often people are seeking happiness outside themselves.  They live the lie that ‘if only _____ (fill in the blank), then I will be happy.’  This exercise gives away your power to external events and does not bring true happiness nor does it make even the feeling of being happy last very long.  Happiness is not a response to an external event, although you might feel briefly happy when things go your way.

Think about how it would feel to wake up each morning believing that you will be happy JUST FOR TODAY.  You perform your morning ritual and notice that you feel like smiling.  Little irritations remain little – they don’t disrupt your entire day because you choose not to let them do so.  Someone does something that you don’t like but you get over it quickly.  The dog chews the newspaper but you decide to get your news online.  Spilt milk gets cleaned up with no consequences.  Can you see where your response to those irritants makes a difference in how you feel?  You CHOOSE your response, although the knee-jerk reaction might lead in a different path.  You can choose happiness.

Now you might be saying that those are all minor irritants. What about the big things?  But, what big problems are solved by choosing to feel unhappy?  If you have a financial problem, will feeling unhappy solve that problem?  If you are experiencing a relationship problem or a lack of a relationship, will feeling unhappy about that bring resolution?  If you are suffering a health problem, will feeling unhappy reverse the condition?  Think about how choosing to stay with the unhappy feelings does not bring you the resources you need to do problem-solving.

What if, rather than staying stuck in your feelings of unhappiness, you chose to take action? What if you started by deciding that you were not going to let problems take away the light within you?  The truth is that nothing external can take away the light from within you – only you can make a decision to put a barrel over that light and keep it from shining out from you.  Blocking the light doesn’t extinguish it so your inner light continues to shine, but you and others can’t see it.  So how about making a decision today to remove the barrel and find the light within?  Make a decision that the cup will be half full JUST FOR TODAY.  Decide that, JUST FOR TODAY, you will see everything as having a solution if you just stay open to the possibility that the problem can be solved somehow.

The energetic fact is that when YOU decide to stay open to possibilities then possibilities open up before you.  It is when you choose to be unhappy, to turn down that interior light bulb, that the dimness prevents you from seeing the possibilities that are just beyond your reach, waiting for you to reach out to them.  Remove the barrel and let your own light shine the way ahead for you.  You might be surprised by how good it feels to choose to feel happy, even if it is JUST FOR TODAY!

And so it is.

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE: Are you still throwing tantrums?

July 12, 2010 — Rosemary

Dear Ones,

When troubles come into your life, what do you do to deal with them?  Have you established strategies to cope with problems or do you allow them to take over your day, your life?  Have you thought about the coping strategies that you use and examined them for relevance in your current life or are you still doing what you did when you were a child, a teenager, or someone much younger without the experiences and the learnings you have gained over the years?

Think about that.  When your life is upset, by your own internal emotions or responses to external stimuli, or when external events upset your plans, how do you react?  Children learn very early in life to react to stimulus.  They learn to assess their situation and to figure out a way to get what they want or need.  A tiny baby craves attention and food and dry clothing and will do whatever it takes to get what they need in the moment.  A toddler learns to test the boundaries of their world by saying ‘no’ and pushing on the limits set by authority figures.  Older children learn to acquiesce when a tantrum won’t give them their desired outcome.

And some adults have never learned skills beyond what they practiced as teenagers.  Do you have some coping mechanisms in your skill set that are outmoded and inappropriate for your current life?

Look at some situations that you encounter in your daily life and then examine how you react in those situations.  Are you awake, aware, fully conscious of your response or do you act with a ‘knee-jerk reaction’ that might have been appropriate earlier in your life but might not be appropriate today?  Do you take time to pause and consider your response or are you consistently acting from habit not conscious thought?

We would tell you that most adults on Planet Earth are acting unconsciously in the 21st Century.  Most are using strategies that might have worked when they were 10 years old but that are no longer appropriate.  Have you ever seen an adult pout, perhaps in an adult way, when they do not get their way?  Have you ever caught yourself wanting to say something a 7-year-old would say in response to something upsetting?  That automatic pilot that searches your personal unconscious data base might not know that you have grown beyond the age where tantrums were appropriate, and if you are older than 2 and are reading this then tantrums are most likely not appropriate.

The person living a Conscious Life chooses very deliberately how he or she will respond to an upsetting situation.  It is impossible to remove all troubles or concerns from a human life so upsetting situations will occur.  You cannot prevent that.  You can, however, control your response to those situations.

The best strategy for responding to upset is to have considered this before the upset occurs, when you are calmly assessing your life and your responses to stimuli.  Think about situations in your recent past that have been upsetting to you.  Did you respond in the moment the way you would respond today given time to be calm and consciously choose your response?  Or were you on unconscious automatic pilot?  Program into your tool box a new response to that situation so that, if it or something similar occurs again, you can choose a different response.  Think about your overriding values and decide that you will respond to upset in accordance with what you value highly and who you wish to be.

This is especially important in dealing with your family.  You might be a different problem-solver at work than the person who deals with upsetting situations at home.  Examine this honestly for yourself.  Can you bring some of those business skills home with you?  When you are tired do you react to your children’s antics differently from the way you react when you are rested and relaxed?  Do they understand the difference?  Think about your spouse or partner and how you react to things that they say.  Are you choosing a conscious reaction or are you being a recalcitrant child throwing a tantrum?

Be conscious.  Choose your behaviors for you do have control over those.  Plan your response to things that don’t go your way.  You become a Peacemaker when you are not the one throwing a childish tantrum!  Live a Conscious Life and you will be teaching others how to be a Peacemaker, too.

And so it is.

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: “Are You a ‘Robot Doing’ or a ‘Human Being’?”

July 5, 2010 — Rosemary
Dear Ones,

Change is coming.  This is a theme that you are hearing from many quarters, but are you ready to change?

We are not talking about the simple changes that are indicated by external circumstances such as a move of residence or a new eating program.  We are also not referring to a change of jobs or partners. No, what we are referring to here is the kind of internal change that will be required in you as you are dealing with all these external changes in the world around you.

Preparing for change does not mean laying in supplies as if planning for disaster, nor does it mean worrying/fretting/creating anxiety over not knowing what is coming.  The preparations being required of you now are those that require you to examine yourself, your life, your relationships, and the details of your days.  These days of preparation are for you to go inside your own inner space and peer into all the nooks and crannies of your existence to decide if what you find there is something that you wish to keep within you.

For example, when is the last time that you examined your daily schedule to consciously choose what you do each day, what order in which you do those tasks, who you spend your time with, how much attention you give to your inner life, how much time you spend expanding your horizons with new knowledge, what food you eat?  So much of every day of human life can be spent moving like a robot that many people are being robots throughout their days, never stopping to become the examiner of what they are doing.  Are you a ‘human being’ or a ‘robot doing’?

Before you can grow and evolve as a human being you must first be conscious of the choices you are making at all times.  Examine the way in which you spend your time to see what it is that you actually value most, not just what you think you value or what you hope you value.  At every given moment you are making choices:  about how you are spending that moment of your precious life, about how you are speaking to another, what you are thinking or doing, and whether or not you are fully present to that moment or focusing on something in the past or the future.  You are always at choice.

So notice how you are making choices.  What values determine the choices you make?  As you prepare for change, are you eschewing that which really doesn’t fit the values you wish to focus on?  Are you looking for ways to grow and to evolve?  And are you valuing your own inner life and inner growth?

Some think that preparing to change is about the actual moving forward, like packing to move to another home.  But the real preparations must be made inwardly.

If, for example, you are ready to move to another house and have everything packed in boxes, ready for the movers, have you also examined how you feel about your move?  Is there any unfinished business about the home or neighborhood or town that you are leaving?  Have you even taken time to think about this?  This example shows how easy it is to be distracted by the external activities and to forget about the inner life and its needs.

Think about your life today and make conscious choices to be prepared for any changes that might be coming.  Get rid of the unnecessary and bring in what is needed.  Create a daily schedule that supports your inner life.  Make your choices from advancing consciousness.

Live a conscious life as a ‘human being’ not a ‘robot doing’!

And so it is.

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: You Can Change!

June 28, 2010 — Rosemary
Dear Ones,

We are poised to help you as you move through the coming days when things will start to change for you.  Is there something about your life that you wish were different?  You will be able to change that.  Is there something about yourself that you wish to change?  You will be able to do that as well.

Your life is Your Life!  YOU are in charge of your life.  If others are causing you to feel things you do not wish to feel then you must make a change.  Sometimes that change is to move those people out of your life.  If you are feeling that you have lost control of your life, then you must regain control by changing the way you think about yourself and your life.

Do not give your power away to others.  It is an easy thing to do and can happen unconsciously in insidious ways.  You can start by loving someone and wanting to be what they want you to be.  Then you make choices to ‘keep the peace’ rather than to confront them about something that is bothering you.  And then you think to yourself that you will change at some nebulous later date and bring up what is bothering you, but not just now.  It doesn’t take long before you have given away your power to another.

Notice if there is anyone to whom you have given your power.  Your partner?  Your boss?  Your child?  Your parent?  Your friend?  This is not a judgment, Dear One, this is a time for you to observe yourself in your current life.  And this is the first step toward living a Conscious Life – becoming the observer of your own life.  Observe yourself without judgment.  Notice your own choices and your own feelings.  When you can observe yourself without judgment you give yourself the opportunity to grow.  If you insist on judging then you will get caught up in the ‘shoulds’ and you will miss the possibilities.

Now, decide today that you will hold onto your own power to control your own life.  This is a decision you can make that has nothing to do with other people.  If someone says or does something that you do not feel comfortable with, you have the option of reacting to that with your own power.  Decide whether or not you will let that in.  And decide whether or not you will take action about the situation.  Give yourself permission, from your own internal place of power, to choose not to take action, if you wish.  Make sure that you are deciding from inside you.

We said that we would be there to help you.  If you wish to make changes in your life or in yourself, you have only to ask and you will be guided and supported in making those changes.

The world around you is getting ready for some major changes.  There will be power shifts in high places and individuals will be facing major decisions.  The energy of change abounds and so this is a good time to make whatever changes you would like to make as you will be supported in those changes.

Reach inside yourself and search for your own inner guidance.  When you decide to change, make the change that helps you to grow.  This is a part of living a Conscious Life from the place of internal empowerment.

You are blessed and supported!

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: Be Empowered and Be Ready for the Coming Changes

June 22, 2010 — Rosemary

Have you noticed how frightened so many people are about the coming changes?  Hollywood is even making scary movies about 2012.  How do YOU feel about change that is just around the corner?

Collaboration is a wonderful energy to work within.  When everyone is valued for the contribution they can make to an effort, when everyone in a group is accepted just as they are, and when all ideas are worthy of consideration, then the people involved feel valuable.  People want to feel that others value their contributions.  People want to know that they matter, as individuals and as a part of the collective.  And people who do feel valued tend to increase their contribution to a group effort.

Yet so many today are still clinging to the concept of the hierarchy and that ‘power over’ thing. Who really benefits from this structure?  Only the one at the top of the hierarchy.  Have you ever felt that you didn’t matter?  Has anyone ever treated you as if your idea were ‘dumb’ or that your contribution wasn’t valuable?  We’ve all had some experience like this, and it’s not comfortable.  I’ve watched people visibly shrink when they’ve been berated by someone else for voicing an opinion or trying to make a contribution.  It’s sad to see and makes everyone else feel uncomfortable.

So let’s try to move into the energy of cooperation and collaboration before the energies around us demand that.  In which of the areas of your life can you make this happen right now?  Your family?  Your work?  A club that you belong to?  Your tennis team?  Try sitting back in a group and watching the dynamics.  Are some of the people trying to take control while others are trying to be inclusive and soliciting contributions from everyone?  Notice how it feels as you observe this behavior.  When your family is together, is everyone valuing everyone else or is there someone dominating who discounts or criticizes what others are saying?  How do people feel when this is going on?

In a business meeting, notice how the meeting proceeds.  Does everyone feel that they can contribute or are some people holding back?  Sometimes experience has led a person to hold back because they have already been burned or discounted for voicing their opinion.  If you notice this, try to let the person know that YOU value them and their contribution.  You can shift the energy by being the one who introduces a pattern of inclusion, of valuing individuals.  Of course, in business, someone must bear ultimate responsibility for decisions but the entire atmosphere can improve if everyone feels that they were listened to, valued, even if the final decision isn’t in alignment with their suggestion.

When the energy flow doesn’t have to be about winning or losing, then everyone can contribute and the best ideas can be acted on.  When no one person is discounted or criticized, then the energy of collaboration supports all who are involved.  In the future we will see that those who have grasped this concept will be the ones with the forward motion, while those who are still looking for domination will be left behind.

Help others to learn this.  Children need to see that winning is not everything.  They naturally care about the kid who feels left out, or they are feeling left out themselves.  Show them how to cooperate.  Show them that working together toward a common goal is good for everybody.  And it’s not just children who need to learn this!

The best way to teach this is to model the behavior by valuing those around you, even if you disagree.  Find your own power from within yourself and you can allow others to do the same.  Remember the distinction between being ’empowered’ and wanting ‘power over.’  Do whatever work it takes to get in touch with your own inner power.  And be that in the world.

All will benefit.  And you will be ready for whatever energetic changes are coming!

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Be Empowered and Collaborate!

June 21, 2010 — Rosemary

Dear Ones,

Do not be afraid of the changes that are coming to Planet Earth and her peoples.  These changes will all be for the good of humanity.  Do not, though, interpret this to mean that all humans will be happy about the changes, for there will be many who are disturbed.  But if you are seeing these words, then you will be a part of the waves of change that will bring a great improvement to human life on Planet Earth.

Let us tell you some of what you can expect.

There are many people who live their human lives seeking only self-gratification and wealth.  Everything that they do, even their emotions, are centered on what benefit they will derive and whether or not they can increase their wealth.  They lead their lives as if most of the other beings on the planet do not matter.  What matters is what they think, believe, want, desire, and have in the bank as resources.  These people have turned away from their own heart.  They might be a part of your own community, or even your social group or family.  They are at the top and at the bottom of the strata of societies.  These people will not be happy when they experience the energy shifts that are coming to Planet Earth in the coming years.

The others, however – those who are heart-centered and who care for Mother Earth and her peoples, the environment, the animals and the children and the land – these people will be pleased to find that Mother Earth is unveiling new ways to support her inhabitants.  Those who are able to understand that collaboration is the way of the future and that domination will no longer work on Earth will be a part of the revolutionary times that are rapidly approaching the planet.

We hesitate to use the word ‘revolutionary’ when we are not advocating that people pick up arms to use against each other, but ‘revolutionary’ is how large the changes will be.  No longer will greed get someone exactly what they desire.  No longer will the heartless be able to define life standards for those who live heart-centered lives.  No longer will those who choose power over others rather than cooperation be the ones who will be in power, for all concepts of power will be rewritten in the light of the new energies.  ‘Power over’ another is not the same as being ’empowered,’ and those who find their personal power from within themselves will be the ones who become the decision makers of the future.  This will drastically change the way things are accomplished in the Earthly realm.

Think of yourself and how you feel when you tap into your own internal power.  Now consider how you feel when someone exerts authority in the narrowest sense of ‘power over’ you.  When you feel empowered you are able to stand your own ground while at the same time listening to and considering what others are suggesting.  When you are more interested in exerting power over others, though, you choose not to consider those around you and you make pronouncements and issue orders.  The people of the latter belief will start to lose ground as ‘the powerful ones,’ for the energies that are coming in the shifts about to happen will only support those who know how to operate in cooperation with others.

Collaboration is the way of the future.  All people must learn these skills or be left by the wayside.  Businesses, families, social groups, educational institutions – all must figure out a way to support individuals who are personally empowered from within.  All individuals must learn to operate from their heart-minds, and must move forward considering the effect of their choices on the people and the planet around them.

And so, Dear Ones, we wish you to seek your own personal power within.  Choose to hold onto your own power.  Do not give your power away to others.  Find a way to clear the blocks to being an empowered individual so that you can magnify your gifts by collaborating with others.  The world will be a better place when you and the others have achieved this!

And so it is.

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Reach for the Joy!

June 14, 2010 — Rosemary

Dear Ones,

Be joyful today!  Fill your heart and your life with Joy!

Are you concerned that you are not feeling very joyous today?  Are you thinking about your problems or all the issues with which you are wrestling?  Is your ‘to-do’ list taking over your day?

We would tell you that Joy is not something that happens to you.  Joy is not what you feel when everything in your life is going smoothly or going your way.  Completing your ‘to-do’ list does not bring Joy into your life.  YOU bring Joy into your life!

Think about that last sentence.  Joy is not an accident, so you must bring Joy into your own life.  Please do not equate Joy with Happiness for they are not the same.  Happy, sad – these are reactions to what is happening to you or to the circumstances in which you find yourself.  Joy is a sense within yourself that you are connected to the Source of all Love in the Universe, that your Life Plan is unfolding as it should, and that you are connected with your Life Purpose and are living in consonance with this.  Joy resides within you and is always available to you although, at times, you might forget its existence.

Seek Joy because you wish to express it in your outer life.  Find the Joy that is available to you.  And to do this you must first learn to go inside yourself.

Many people fear reaching into their innermost regions because they are afraid of what they will find there.  It is easy to create such a busy life that there is no time to go inside.  It is easy to focus on other people or work or tasks to accomplish before taking the time to do what is called ‘inner work.’  But we would tell you to ask yourself if all the ‘busyness’ is a distraction from your real work.  Ask yourself if you are using other people or work or tasks on your ‘to-do’ list to avoid going inside yourself to do the work required for your own growth.  If you are honest with yourself and you realize that you have been avoiding ‘inner work’ then now is the time to commit to yourself that you will make the time to do it.

For the reward is Joy.  Are you afraid to experience the pain of processing emotionally distressing events from your past?  Are you worried that doing ‘inner work’ will open a floodgate of emotion that you are ill-prepared to handle?  You do not need to do this work alone.  There are others who can assist you on the inner journey to Joy.  And not all processes/techniques require that you feel again the emotions that are within.  Use those emotions as signals that there is something for you to learn and learn the lesson.  The necessity for the emotion then goes away.

Try meditation as a way to go inside to find Joy for your life.  Some are afraid that meditation is a difficult thing to learn or that they are not doing it correctly.  Meditation can be simply stilling an analytical mind long enough to allow a connection to one’s inner being without the distraction of active thinking.  A set of slow breaths can be a meditation.  This does not need to be a formal practice nor does it need to take a long time.  But the benefits of a break in your day to connect with the Inner You can be great.

When you are forgetting that there is Joy deep within you, it might seem more difficult for you to work to access that Joy, but the important thing to remember is that you do not need to seek Joy from an external source.  Joy does not come through substances, people, circumstances, money or success.  Joy does not come and go with the vagaries of daily activity.  Joy is a solid constant within you and all you need to do is to remember that it lives within and that you can always have access to Joy.  Reach inside to find the Joy that lives there.  No matter what is happening in your day, pause and reach for Joy.  Remember that you are always connected to the Source of Love in the Universe.  Remember the connection, reach inside and find the Joy.

May your day be filled with the Joy that awaits you!

And so it is.

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE: What’s on your to-do list?

June 7, 2010 — Rosemary

Dear Ones,

How many items are on your to-do list at this time?  Do you have the items prioritized?  And what do you consider the most important item on the list – something for your work, your family, your finances?  Or your spiritual development?

Let us suggest that you consider your spiritual development as foundational to all your other values and priorities.  When you think about your work, do you think about it as something separate from who you are as a spiritual person?  It is not separate.  You are first and foremost a spiritual being having a physical lifetime on Planet Earth and your work FOLLOWS from this – it is not the other way around.  Furthermore, your spiritual work IS your work, so you really cannot separate the two.

Many of you reading this will think that we are talking about religion here but that is not so.  It matters not which religion, if any, that you choose to practice.  Your being a spiritual person is more about the eternal, timeless you than about what you do [religion].  Think of the essence of yourself as being the spiritual you.  You are timeless, eternal.  You are greater than any of the circumstances in your life at the present time.  You are greater than the people who surround you, who like you, love you, don’t like you, help you, hurt you, ignore you.  You are also greater than the job that you perform in the world.  Your work in the world is to further your personal growth, to expand the consciousness of the spiritual being that you are in your essence.

All of your other priorities flow from this work of personal growth.  The more you work on yourself, the more you are able to help others to do so.  A person who does not do this personal work cannot offer support to others who are doing so.  Have you ever met someone who is so self-absorbed that they cannot hear you and what you are saying to them because they are focused only on how they feel, what they want or what they think/believe?  These people are not living a Conscious Life.  They are not on a path of personal spiritual growth, and they cannot help you on your path.  If you are connected to someone like this ask yourself if this person is assisting you in growing or if your association is hindering you in your own growth.  Your growth in consciousness needs to be your top priority.

Can you see whatever your work in the world might be at this time as an expression of your own personal spiritual growth?  It does not matter if you are working in an office with a lot of other people or working alone at home.  Perhaps your job is one that you hope one day to leave but, for some reason, you are still in that job.  Consider that you might be there because the circumstances or the people are offering you a laboratory, a classroom, in which you can learn lessons vital to your personal growth.  You might also be the vehicle through which others are learning their own lessons.

If you love your work, are you helping others because of your own spiritual growth?  Are others helping you to progress?  If your work is fulfilling, is it because it causes you to feel expanded, to feel your own growth through that work?  And if it is not fulfilling, what aspect is missing?  Could it be that you feel stagnant, that you cannot grow in this situation?

When you look at your family, are they supportive of your personal growth, the expansion of your consciousness or do you feel restricted by them?  Are you eager to share what you are learning through the lessons in your life or do you fear being rebuffed and thus stay closed-mouth or shut down?

Ask yourself how you feel about focusing your attention on your own spiritual growth.  Are you comfortable making this your number one priority?  Can you see how your work, your family, even your finances, are the result of your work on yourself and are not to be separated into compartments that do not connect with each other?

Now get your priorities arranged so that you can do that number one item on the list.  Focus on your personal growth first and you will be able to prioritize all the other items on the list easily.  Expand your own awareness and you will bring more resources to solving the problems inherent in all the other items on your to-do list.

Remember that you came into this lifetime to learn lessons.  When you focus on learning your own lessons, you increase the resources you have to share with others who are also learning lessons.  Fulfill your goals to expand yourself and all your other goals will be accomplished.  Make sure you do not put your own personal growth work at the bottom of the priority list – just get it done!

And so it is.
