It All Works Out
“Making, wanting, forcing something to happen in your favour – even hoping it will occur, takes a lot of energy. There’s the physical kind that has you literally running around arranging, manipulating, administering, controlling people and situations to have your way. Then there’s the emotional kind that stresses you out, has you worried, distracts you to no end to get to your desired goal. Just writing these heavy-duty and dense sentences is de-energizing. Why not surrender and let go of your top-down, mind-driven agenda, and let the...
read moreListen to the Rain
“Listen to the rain. Is it soft and gentle, whispering sweet nothings in your ear? Can you make out the wonderful words it is trying to say? “Don’t worry. Everything will be all right. We’ve got this.” Perhaps it is a thunderous downpour of a zillion drops warning you, beseeching you: “Take care. Be careful with your heart. You know which decision to make.” Yet again, it may be an off- and- on tease of a rain shower playing coy with you… “Now wasn’t that fun? Want to do it again? Go ahead, I think you should.” The rain to treasure...
read moreDizzying Changes
“Have you noticed your tastes are changing? What you used to absolutely love no longer draws you. Whether it’s steak frites, the funky bar or colour green (as was referenced a few Gentle Messages ago), the pull is gone. Even the emotion tied to said appealing item has disappeared like a mist upon the water. Is there a time warp where all these emotions are draining into, leaving you in a vacuum: full of new-found space for exploration and opportunity? Who commandeered this transmutation? You? Unconscious you? Is it reality that is changing...
read moreGood at Asking Questions?
“Are you good at asking questions? Perhaps you’re too shy to stand up in front of a crowded room to ask the speaker about a comment that’s been made. Maybe you’re in a rush and want to leave the auditorium before the presentation is over. A persistent worry running through your mind keeps you from following the lecture. The constant squirming of the person in front of you annoys you to the point of cancelling any thought of asking anything. “My question is unimportant,” you say to yourself… It’s just a question but one that could put you or...
read moreColor Me…
“Notice how certain colors are attracting you while others that you used to like or wear or decorate your home with, no longer appeal to you. Is it age, designer influence, a friend’s persuasive powers to convert you that are causing you to change your palate? Colors like people, animals, and plants – all sentient beings for that matter – carry energetic signatures. Hence liking blue more than purple now, is not a whim but you within your evolving energy field attracting blue energy. Remember like-energy attracts like-energy and repels...
read moreSay Hi to Mother Earth
“News about tsunamis, earthquakes, fires, floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, erupting volcanoes, heat waves and the like certainly don’t give you much confidence in what Mother Earth is up to these days. From another point of view, all this negative flow gives you only one side of the picture. Brilliant autumn colours, magnificent sunsets, astonishing cloud formations, exquisite blooming flowers, every hue of green tree you can imagine, birdsong fit for Carnegie Hall, sparkling diamond-like water…if you choose to look, you will witness the beauty...
read moreYour Words
“This stupid knee will never heal.” “I can never get this right.” “My doctor appointments always run late. He’s never on time.” “Trust the government to get it wrong.” “I have a lousy sense of direction.” “She’s always in a bad mood.” “It never fails. I get every red light.” “You always act this way.” “Do you think money grows on trees?” “Life is sure hard.” … any of this sound like you? A gentle caution: what you think and especially every time you say it, reinforces its materialization. Your thoughts shape your reality. Put it out there and...
read moreHere, There, Everywhere
“” Getting away from it all” does infer that this is a good thing: finding rest and comfort in knowing there are no deadlines, no meetings, no appointments to keep, no bosses or employees to satisfy, no self-imposed regime to stick to. The idea of abandoning all seems so freeing, so liberating, no wonder many are drawn to its appeal. However, if you are on a road of personal evolution and awakening, you’ll find that this kind of escape is nigh impossible to carry out. Your soul doesn’t take a holiday, especially if you’ve activated it to the...
read moreThe Mandela Effect
“Thought this might be time to mention this as it’s popped up. At the risk of mangling the description, its explanation is cited from Wiki: False memories can sometimes be shared by multiple people. This phenomenon was dubbed the “Mandela effect” by paranormal researcher Fiona Broome, who reported having vivid and detailed memories of news coverage of South African anti-apartheid leader Nelson Mandela dying in prison in the 1980s, despite Mandela actually dying in 2013 after serving as...
read moreTaking on Another Life
“Caring for another at this time? Most of you will say, “Yes.” Whether a sick parent, a lonely sister, a challenged uncle, a depressed teenager, an angry co-worker, a heartsick friend, you’ve stepped up to support them at a vulnerable time in their life. How long you will help them out remains to be seen. For the most part, it’s not your choice but the unfolding of circumstances that encircle you both. Some will say, “You’re doing too much.” Others will say, “You’re not doing enough.” You may say, “Can I keep going like this?” And your heart...
