THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: NOW is the time for the NEW!

October 4, 2010 — Rosemary
Dear Ones,

Today is the day for you to start something new.  What would you like to bring into your life that brings the energy of newness to you?  What have you been waiting to start, to do, to have?  What is ‘the perfect time’ that you have been waiting for so that you can start, do or have it?

Every moment in your life is the perfect NOW for the NEW.  Do you realize this?  Whenever you find yourself putting something off, waiting for that perfect time, when everything else makes way for that new thing, that new energy, THAT is the time to catch yourself and pause with this question in mind – “Exactly why am I waiting?”

Are you waiting for someone else to line up to support what you are doing?  Maybe you can find a way to do it yourself, or to shift a bit so that you can at least get started on the project.  Are you waiting for the stars to align, the budget to support, your calendar to open up?  Are you waiting to lose weight, gain weight, change your wardrobe, change houses, get a new car?  Are you waiting to find the perfect _____ [fill in the blank]?

Lose this ‘wait’!

This moment NOW is the only moment you have.  Everything you need is here in this NOW.  Every resource is within you to make happen that which you need in your life.  Creativity is within you if you allow it to be expressed.  Resources are available if you open yourself to guidance and seek resources that you think you don’t have – where else can you seek them?  How can you modify your plans to use what’s available?  Who do you need help from?  Can you permit yourself to ask for the help you need?  What is ONE STEP that you can take in this moment NOW that will bring you closer to your goal?

If you find yourself resisting these words, then ask yourself if you have been waiting to start something because there is a block or obstacle in front of that something.  Are you using as an excuse something that is keeping you from facing the real obstacle to moving forward?  Do you really need to have all the resources lined up first or can you start and then find the rest of what you need?  Do you really need to lose weight, find help, have a new car or can you find step one to get the energy flowing in the direction of what you desire so that the rest can follow?  Are you focusing on the cart and letting the horse struggle at its tethers when it really wants to get moving?

What project, idea, program has been coming to your mind as you read these words?  What is one step that you can take NOW to move in the direction of that idea?  If we asked, what is one thing that you wish you could do that for some reason you have not started yet?  Would it be all right with you if you allowed that to get started?

Starting is the hard part.  Deciding to start can be even more difficult.  If there is an excuse why you can’t start, then look at that excuse and ask, “What is behind this excuse?”  Are you hiding from some personal work that needs to be done before you move forward?  It is easy to look at calendars and budgets and lack and say that these are the reasons that you cannot begin something, but they do not serve your forward motion in life.

Examine yourself.  Examine your life.  How have you been holding yourself back because there is some personal growth or spiritual work that is waiting to be done?  When you determine that this is the place to start, you will be amazed at how easily the rest follows!

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: What is your unconscious mind deciding for you?

August 31, 2010 — Rosemary

It seems as if we’re always being told to examine our thoughts, our beliefs.  That’s not as easy as it sounds.

I’ve worked with people who are literally shocked to discover some of the things that they believe.  Our unconscious minds are powerful helpers in our journey of personal growth, but with that power comes an ability to derail our best efforts, the decisions we make consciously but without the agreement of our unconscious minds.

Does this sound difficult to believe?  Let’s look at how powerful that unconscious mind can be.

You can breathe without thinking about it, right?  You don’t go around telling your heart to ‘Beat Now, and Now, and Now,’ do you?  Somewhere in your system is a controller taking care of all those systems so you don’t have to make a conscious decision to get your heart to beat or your lungs to expand.  So why shouldn’t that ‘controller’ be making other decisions for you?  Like how you will respond to a stimulus that is similar to what you experienced when you were 5 or 7 years old?  What about that knee-jerk reaction you had?  Did you consciously choose that or did it come from somewhere else?

Prejudice comes from training in our youth.  In the show, ‘South Pacific,’ they say that you must be carefully taught to hate.  But once those seeds of hatred are planted, you might not even know that you believe that someone ‘should be hated.’  Or what about those family stories that plant a seed about who you are supposed to be?  ‘Our family always does…….’ [fill in the blank].  There can be some powerful beliefs ingrained in us as children that we don’t even recognize are at work.

And so, as adults, we go along thinking that we are in charge when the truth is that our unconscious minds are holding onto beliefs and thoughts about ourselves and the world that might not be valid anymore.  The bogeyman under the bed might not actually be there but the little child within might still be afraid of a strange situation.

How do we use this information in our adult lives?  The first place to start is to examine what we believe.  In every situation, the question to ask is, ‘Is what I believe about this situation true?’  When we are responding to a particular stimulus, we can ask ourselves if the response is appropriate in this moment or is our unconscious mind adding on some data from previous experiences that might not apply right now.  This ability to ask questions of ourselves is the first step to living a conscious life.

And we must question what comes at us and to us from outside sources.  If you are told something that doesn’t feel right, pause and ask yourself what it is exactly that you are feeling.  What, within yourself, is not resonating with this information?  Or what IS resonating with this information, and can you believe something new or contrary to what you believed before?

These questions only help us if we have already started to examine ourselves.  Being on a path of personal growth invites us to become aware in every moment of our own thoughts and beliefs.  For some, this might require help at first, especially in clearing away blocks held in the unconscious mind and difficult to unearth for examination.  The good news is that the more you practice examining your thoughts and beliefs the easier it is to continue.  It rapidly becomes a way of life as your understanding deepens of the intricate relationship of your conscious and unconscious minds.

Personal growth is the path to bringing more Light into your life.  Embrace the journey.  Do the work.  Examine what you believe, both consciously and unconsciously, and grow.

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Are you willing to change your beliefs?

August 30, 2010 — Rosemary

Dear Ones,

People are gathering.  Are you noticing this?  People are gathering with those who think the way they do.  They are not gathering to discuss ideas and issues.  They are gathering to fuel their emotions by listening to others who think as they do, with the same open-mindedness or closed-mindedness that they embrace.

But there are some who are finding their Tribes. They are finding those who also wish to uplift the World.  Those who are feeling called to assist all of humanity in growing, in evolving, are looking for others who feel a mission to do the same.  These are the groups who are gaining power in the World.

The media reports on the groups that are the most vocal, the most emotional.  Many media outlets, especially in the Western part of the World, are fueling this emotionalism by carefully determining what they will and won’t share with their audiences, picking and choosing so-called ‘facts’ and ignoring truth.  Some countries have always had government-controlled information channels but more countries are operating that way in this time.

What does this mean to you as you attempt to live a Conscious Life?  Here is what we would say to you.

Be very careful about what information, images, thoughts and ideas you embrace.  We are not saying you need to believe this person or that, but you must decide for yourself where your truth is in a given moment.  Can you be a solid rock in a moving stream of information and mis-information?  Can you at the same time be an open-minded individual who is willing to examine new information and, possibly, change your position if the information leads you to do so?

Those who hold fast to ideas that may have been true for them in the past, even when current evidence indicates that those ideas are no longer valid, are the people who are refusing to evolve and to grow.  The others, however, who continue to explore new ideas, may or may not change their beliefs as a result of that exploration but they are open to the possibility.  The latter are the ones who carry humanity forward to expanded awareness and evolved consciousness.

Let us look at what this means in your daily life.  If you are someone who has a difficult time letting go of old patterns and beliefs, do you limit your contacts to those who will support your non-growth?  Are you still socializing with people who behave the way you did in high school even though their behavior often embarrasses you?  Are you staying in relationships that do not help you to grow because they are familiar, even if not comfortable?  Do you shut down when someone around you expresses an opinion that does not agree with yours?  And, when that happens, do you make the discussion a personal attack rather than a discussion of ideas, impersonally evaluated?

None of these choices supports you in your personal journey toward fulfillment in your life.  Why choose to stay ‘stuck’ when you have the option to grow into more Light?

The path of personal growth demands that each individual continually seek enlightenment, that is, a growing Light within that reflects expansion of consciousness.  Everything that happens is an opportunity to learn something that can expand your Inner Light.  Are you willing to seek that?  Are you willing to examine the ideas you hold, consciously or unconsciously, and determine if they are appropriate for you today?  Are you willing to grow rather than to stagnate?

You are always at a point of choice in your Life.  You can choose to continue to believe what you have always believed or you can change those beliefs.  You can choose to hold the same thoughts about yourself or you can change the thoughts you embrace.  And you can choose to look around you for the lessons in the present moment or you can shut down and move sightlessly through your moments.  The choice is always yours.

We hope you will choose to look for the Light in every situation, to look for the path of growth, and to be willing to expand your awareness to examine new ideas, new thoughts, new beliefs and to embrace the new beliefs if they resonate with your own Inner Light.

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: Notice the Lessons

August 24, 2010 — Rosemary

Lessons.  Lessons. Lessons.  Did you ever wish for ‘recess in the School of Life’?

Sometimes the lessons seem to be piled on top of each other, and at other times they seem to be so indistinct that they are almost impossible to discern.  It can feel exhausting to constantly be looking for the lessons.

BUT this is what makes Life so exciting, so fulfilling.  Everything that happens has a lesson somewhere inside it.  Are things going smoothly?  What’s the lesson in that?  Is there a bird in the yard?  What kind of bird is it and what is the lesson in that?  Are you late or is someone late for a meeting with you?  What is the lesson in that?

If we are constantly looking for the lesson, even in the little things in life, then we are not falling into the doldrums or panicking or getting angry.  We are simply curious about what the lessons are.

My mastermind buddy, Cass, and I were on the phone recently talking about new directions for our businesses when Cass watched 2 baby deer be born right in front of her!  How exciting to have the privilege to watch these new lives come into the world!  My observation was that the Universe was telling us that our new directions bring new life into our businesses – this scene was confirmation of all the energy of newness.  We both enjoyed the sign.

Where can you look for confirmation that you are on the right track?  What about indications that you might want to consider another avenue today?  What does the current moment have as a gift for you?

Start noticing.  That’s all it takes.  Noticing.  Notice the person in front of you at Starbucks.  Our friend in Malibu just noticed that it was Kevin Spacey!  Notice the person at the cash register in the store while you are shopping.  They might need a smile or a kind word.  Notice what the messages in Nature are for you.  Deer?  Rabbits? Bears? Dogs? Cats?  Don’t worry about what the books say – what are these animals saying to you today?  Pause and listen to the voice of Nature to get a message.

Where does it feel as if your Power is residing in your body today?  This is another way to learn the lessons of the moment.  Take a moment to feel fully present in your body.  What do you notice?  Can you find a spot that holds your personal power right now?  If not, then where are you hiding it?

These are the kinds of questions that can guide you through a day.  Are you in an uncomfortable situation?  Find your personal power in your body and put your hand over it.  If you can’t find it, then put your hand over your solar plexus.  Are you feeling confused about what to do next?  Look around you, take a walk in Nature.  What are the signs, the signals with messages for you?

Your lessons are why you are awake and aware in this present moment.  Notice.

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Create the Life of your Life Purpose

August 23, 2010 — Rosemary
Dear Ones,

Every one of you has experienced hurt, elation, pain, joy, love, hatred, fun, ennui.  These are a part of the human experience.  Do you use these experiences to learn lessons or do you curse the darkness and forget to celebrate the Light?  How you respond to life’s experiences defines who you are as human being on a path toward greater consciousness.

Many people live in such great fear that they cannot see the Light when it appears all around them.  They are searching for the darkness, searching for that which they most dread, and it is as if they have blinders on, preventing them from seeing what is good and gentle and friendly in their environment.  It is very difficult to get these people to open up to the Light available to them because their vision is too narrow to embrace it.

There are others who allow Life to happen to them.  They are passively awaiting the next experience, wondering what will happen, planning to react but not making the effort to be proactive.  These people are suffering because they do not feel empowered to create their own life.  These are the ones who can be taught that they can take action to bring their Life into focus when they claim the power to do so.

Still others are vigorously fighting their own Life Purpose.  They are in denial about why they came to Planet Earth, who they incarnated to Be.  These people project onto others the lessons that are theirs to learn.  They work at their lives without finding any joy in daily activities.  They seem to run in the other direction from growth opportunities.  Some of these are so hardened that they deride others who are on a path of growth.  It is a difficult situation when one must deal with these people because they are negative in their perspective and they do not support the growth and progression of others if it interferes with their plans.

Those who are learning their lessons, who embrace the creative energy involved in making Life be a fulfilling collection of lessons, who seek to manifest their Life Purpose on Planet Earth, are the ones who can find joy even when Life looks darkest.  These are the ones who see other people as fellow journeyers, not as impediments to plans.  These people know how to smile from their hearts, and how to feel Love and to offer Love in their daily lives.

Which are you?  Do you recognize a part of yourself in these categories?  Do you see a past ‘you’ in one of them?

Looking for the lesson in your experience gives you the power to grow, the power to make the lesson the important aspect of this moment, not the circumstance.  Do you realize how powerful you can be when you can step up above a circumstance to see it in relation to a bigger picture?  This is how one learns the lessons contained in an experience.  Open yourself up to learning something from what is going on in the present moment, for Life is always about this present moment.  Worrying about tomorrow or yesterday drains your energy and takes you away from the lesson and the personal growth available in this present moment.

Allow yourself to focus on your growth, which supports your Life Purpose.  Allow this moment to be a gift for you, no matter what the circumstances are.  Are you ill?  What is the message in the illness for you?  Are you worried about finances?  How are you deciding that you lack support?  Are you feeling that things are going well for you in this moment?  What can you learn from that and who else can you help?

There is always a lesson for you.  Keep learning the lessons and you will keep growing.  Create your Life to be in consonance with your Life Purpose.  Be who you came to Planet Earth to Be.

And so it is.

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Where do your talents lie?

August 16, 2010 — Rosemary
Dear Ones,

In the beginning of human history, people were struggling to exist.  Their days were spent in pursuit of food, shelter and protection from enemies.  There was not much energy or time left over for subtleties or leisure.  But they did create art.  The cavemen and women drew pictures to record what was happening in their lives and they used pictures to communicate with each other before language, spoken or written, was available to them.

These early humans adorned their bodies to show prowess or status or to attract a mate.  They appreciated that some of their people had more artistic talent than others and thus duties were assigned based on innate talents and interests.  People started to create a division of labor so that a band of people could exist in a more organized and more successful manner.

If you fast forward to the 21st Century, what do you find?  People find themselves being forced into jobs with duties that may or may not align with their talents and interests.  People are busy making money to buy necessities and entertainment and spend their energy so that they have little time for creative pursuits.  Some people have not taken the time to determine where their talents lie because they have spent all their time and energy pursuing either work or pleasure as defined by society, peers and advertizing.

We wish that more people would take the time to examine their lives, to examine their inner being and to determine where their innate talents lie, what their Life Purpose is and who they incarnated on Planet Earth to be.  This kind of self-examination requires some time and dedication to perform.  It also requires that one care about the results.  Many people today are locked in a flow that does not permit time or energy to ask the questions that need to be asked.

We are not talking about those people who are working many jobs just to obtain shelter and food and the necessities of life for their families, for they are doing the best they can.  But there are many others who, if awakened to possibilities, could do this self-examination and who would then have more self-empowerment and, ultimately, more life success.  Who are these people?  And are you one of them?  Every person can lead a conscious life by examining who they are and who they were born to be.

Self-examination is not the scary thing that some make it out to be.  This is not taking a test and worrying about failing.  Indeed, failing to do the self-examination we are talking about creates a limited life – why choose that?  The first question to ask is, ‘What is my Life Purpose?  Who did I come to Planet Earth to BE?’  Sometimes you might need help in pursuing these answers but asking the question is the first step.

Once you have an idea of your true Life Purpose you must then ask yourself where your talents lie, where your dreams are pointing.  No one comes to Earth with a Life Purpose of being unhappy.  Many find that unhappiness is a part of life for a specific time, but it is not your Purpose in being born.  If you are unhappy, could it be that you are not living your Life Purpose?  We are not talking about your job or your career, but the real essence of your being incarnate on Planet Earth in this moment.  Are your choices in Life consistent with realizing your Life Purpose?

Your job or career might be the vehicle that allows you to pursue your Life Purpose but we are asking you to examine your Life so that you can make a conscious choice about what you are doing and who you are being.  The cave people were busy searching for food and shelter but they did look at who was the best at which tasks and they made decisions based on those talents.  Think about your Life and whether or not you are utilizing your talents.  Be the creative person that every human being incarnates to be.  You don’t have to paint cave pictures, or pictures of any kind, but if your creative talents lie in problem solving, then make sure you are using those talents.  If your creative talents are in raising children, or teaching others, or writing or painting or sculpting or programming computers, then use those talents.  Even if, for the moment, the job you are engaged in is merely a means to pay your bills, don’t allow it to swallow up your Life and your energy and your time.  Create your Life.

Follow your talents, and, if appropriate, paint the walls with pictures that tell others about your Life.

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.

MUSE-INGS: Who did you come here to be?

July 6, 2010 — Rosemary

‘Robot Doing’?  Great way to describe ‘sleepwalking through history,’ as Sen. Byrd said.

It is so easy to sleepwalk through our lives.  Doing the next urgent thing.  Focusing on what has to get done today.  Creating to-do lists and getting satisfaction from checking off the items on the list.  We might get a lot accomplished but are we really ‘living’ when our days go from arising in the morning to collapsing at night without having taken time to relax, to go inside, to seriously consider the choices we are making?

Maybe being busy is a distraction from being fully conscious as a human being.  We can use the requirements of our to-do list as an excuse for avoiding the self-examination that a conscious life requires of us.  Sometimes that self-examination is painful, especially if we have been taught to judge ourselves harshly.  It’s easier to slide through our days being busy than to face something that feels uncomfortable to face about ourselves.

But maybe we need to do that self-examination in a non-judgmental way.  I like to go back to my mantra – Everybody is doing the best they can with the resources they have at any given moment, even me.  This might be the best way to set ourselves up for self-examination, to accept that, no matter what, we were making the choices to do or to be the best we could in a given moment.  The only moment that matters is NOW, this present moment, for we can begin to make new choices right now and in all the moments forward.  We can give up decisions and choices we’ve made in the past.  We can also give up worrying about the choices we will be making in the future.  The only moment that we need to fully examine is the present moment.

In this moment you can make a choice about who you want to be as well as what you want to do.  The two don’t have to be mutually exclusive, for who you want to be determines what you do, if you let it.  Decide who you are, at your core.  Go inside and find the person you wish to be.  What you do will follow from that.  The decisions get easier because you are led from within.  The values are clearer when you are coming from a place of being the Real You.

And in the context of preparing for the changes that are coming isn’t being the authentic human being that you came to Planet Earth to be the most important aspect of your life?  You weren’t born to ‘do’ something, you were born to ‘be’ someone!  Life on Planet Earth is requiring that we all determine who we were born to be, and to do this now.  The changes that are coming, into each life and into life on Planet Earth for all, will be facilitated by our determining our own inner needs, our own inner calling, and our inner voice that guides us.

But if we continue to fill our days with busy-ness we will have to, at some point, play catch-up with our inner work.  I’m vowing to do the work in a proactive way, not when it becomes a necessity but while I can have more control over my day so that I take time to listen to the inner proddings.

I’m a big believer in listening for the messages from The Universe before Spirit picks up a 2 X 4 and hits me over the head!  I hope you’ve learned about that choice, too!

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: 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.
