&lt;p&gt;      Read the whole article at my blog...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Doesn&amp;#39;t matter how often I&amp;#39;ve heard it, seen it, or understood it. I know I have the power to bring myself up out of the blahs and into bliss again. But it feels like it will be hard work. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Does this sound familiar? Don&amp;#39;t worry. There is a way out.&lt;br /&gt;You can turn the January Blahs into January Bliss :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enjoy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Peace, Love &amp;amp; Light,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Brenda MacIntyre a.k.a.

&lt;p&gt;      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Namaste.&amp;nbsp; Warmest greetings from my heart.&amp;nbsp; May this bright beautiful day reveal many wondrous spheres of love, light, peace and joyful abundance.&amp;nbsp; Today&amp;#39;s topic is an excerpt from an inspirational book by Nikki de Carteret, entitled &lt;strong&gt;&amp;quot;Soul Power: The 9 Keys to Soul Power&amp;quot;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;Where do I begin?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;Start with a vision of your pure essence. What do you see?&amp;#39;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;I see a strong diamond light, pointed to perfection. I see the many facets of my divine nature, rainbow qualities reflecting the light. I sense the color of my feelings, the softness of abundant energy rippling out from my core.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;What do you feel?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;I feel an immense love, an overwhelming gratitude to the beautiful One. You have cast Your light through my dark shadows allowing me to see that I am made in Your image, a being of rare and distinct beauty.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;You smile. &amp;quot;Now what do you see?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;I see myself as a full-winged tiger butterfly, unbound and free.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;From The Alchemy Tale (p106)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;font color="#9900cc"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;The 9 Keys to Soul Power &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;font color="#9900cc"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;Soul Power lies within you. It is the ultimate spiritual intelligence. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;font color="#9900cc"&gt;* &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;God is the Source of all spiritual power. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;font color="#9900cc"&gt;* &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;See the beauty in others. Behind the mask of each man, &lt;br /&gt;woman and child lies a potential soul. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color="#9900cc"&gt;*&lt;/font&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Tread lightly on this earth. To all give love, respect and kindness. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color="#9900cc"&gt;*&lt;/font&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Your consciousness creates your reality. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color="#9900cc"&gt;* &lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pay attention to everything you think and do. Like a boomerang your &lt;br /&gt;thoughts and actions will return to you. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color="#9900cc"&gt;*&lt;/font&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Accept your challenges. They are lessons in disguise. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color="#9900cc"&gt;*&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trust in the process of life and all will be well. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color="#9900cc"&gt;*&lt;/font&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Sit in silence and silence will teach you everything.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

This is the place to share prayers for peace. Cultivation and reflection through guided peace mediation and poetry is also encouraged.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During prayer and reflection use your imagination to attune with God* (in whatever way is meaningful to you) * You can substitute my use of the name God, with that which resonates with you (eg. Source, Divine Source, Universal Presence, Great Spirit, Source of All Love...) ~&amp;nbsp; It is your choice as for who or what to address your praying or asking, yet, it is recommended to address the highest ideal or concept you can bring to mind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Please note&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; This discussion area is not intended as a place to debate into the validity of prayer, neither is it a sounding board for judging or debating religious diversity.&amp;nbsp; Instead it is intended as a place for those genuinely seeking to use their energy for spreading goodness. All religions, spiritual streams and faiths are welcome here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;- - - - - - &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Universal Healing Prayer&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;May Peace and Infinite Love Prevail on Earth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where there is darkness, may there be Light.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where there is suffering, may there be Healing. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where there is sorrow, may there be comfort.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where there is tragedy, may Healing Light flow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;Where life has ended, may there be comfort and Love&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;Where there is heartache, may there be Infinite Love. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where there is turmoil, fear and apprehension - -&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;May there be Peace Everlasting. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;May the spirit of Love flow freely&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;May all of humanity be touched with the Highest Vibration of Love&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;May the Light of abiding Love&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Penetrate our Heart and emanate into the Universe&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;May all souls be liberated&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;May Peace and Infinite Love Prevail on Earth&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      A warm Namaste to All.

Awakening to a bright new day, I experience a truly blessed "moment" of divine inspiration. In sharing this soul moment I open the space for illumining and sharing soul moments together.

Following my morning meditation, I experienced what I call an emotional fog, a kind of lingering emotional residue from having connected quite deeply with my innermost emotions.  

I asked my Inner Seer for clarification.  However, as a See-er, I am simply an observer within the unfolding, and there are no words.  Instead, a wave of gentle surrender calls me. I am instinctively guided to consciously surrender into the feeling.
As I do this, I feel a sense of discomfort within the haze of emotional residue. I feel overwhelmed by the intensity of the emotional experience/memory.

I close my eyes and take a long, deep inhalation, followed by a very long exhalation.  A starburst of bright white light begins to elongate within my third eye area, filling my entire being with light and energy.  In that moment, I feel as though I am a luminous starburst of divine radiance.  I experience myself journeying upon the gentle undulating rhythm of my breath... upon shimmering ribbons of starry light, into the exquisite center of my illumined heart center.  

In that moment a question springs forth: 

" Right now, in this moment, if I had a clear and open channel to the wisdom of my soul, what would my soul wish for me to know in relation to this experience?"

Words, carried upon a wavesong of light echoe through my consciousness:

~"Just Let Go"~

A shimmer of energy tingles throughout my entire being, magnifying my heart in it's purest form... guiding me through the dramas of my heart's resolutions, and enfolding me with emanations of peace, love and healing light ~ and ~ I experience what it feels like to truly surrender, to let go.

As infants, one of the first things we learn is to hold on, it's instinctive. Hold out your finger or a rattle to a newborn baby, and she will hold on to it.  Reflecting upon this, I begin to understand why I tend to hold on to so much emotionally.  Within the unfolding that is my life, I have clung to my story and the intensity of emotional experience within it.  This particular life story shaped my identity, or rather, I became completely identified with my conditioned personality and my emotions. For many years, this clouded the truth of my being, evoking a profound sense of separation, a split within my self.  

This day within my morning meditation, I was gifted with something truly beautiful: the realization that acceptance, understanding and surrender illumine the divine forces of love ~ lighting the way to the spiritual heart.

Just as we may have been conditioned to hold on, we may instead choose to return to innocence and experience our being as pure, unconditioned consciousness. By placing our awareness of self in the essence of pure love, within the luminescence and sanctity of the inner illumined lotus of Anahata (Heart center), we experience what it feels like to surrender into essence, to bathe in pure bliss... to let go.

Surrendering and Remembering...

~ Om Shanti ~
 &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      Namaste.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hi Zaadzy friends!  Let&amp;#39;s weave threads of light with our words.  Different vibrations are produced through different combinations of sounds.  Within language, sounds combine to form words, which convey meaning.  It is within meaning that understanding arises, which in turn evokes feeling.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Through the power of our words we literally feel the dualities of life: such as happy and sad, pleasure and pain, shame and praise and so forth.  Cultivating understanding of the true nature of a sound vibration liberates and illumines. A powerful practice for creating one-pointed focus on the highest reality involves meditating, contemplating and thinking on the vibrations of divine attributes. We can then explore our language to find words and strings of words to illumine the divine within us. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This thread invites you contemplate and share your word or weaving of words for the day...  it would be interesting too, to share our understanding of various sound vibrations, the feelings evoked, and the transformational nature of the divine attributes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today I have chosen the word  &lt;br /&gt;~ Eternal ~ &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      Thank you for your kind words.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was raised to look to nature to support ideas, and I think that our understanding of being within natural order and that being free of conflict or pain is just not supported in the world outside.&amp;nbsp; But, I also think that suffering.&amp;nbsp; True suffering.... is a step out of the natural order of things.&amp;nbsp; You&amp;#39;ve also given me much to think about in a continuing conversation around this topic. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      Namaste.

Hello from my heart, Jill. Thank you for your beautiful sharing, your gift of light illumined so much for me.  Your shining warmth, courage and resolve is such an inspiration. And your sharing of our world being held in balance by the tension of the axis of the poles, is wonderfully thought provoking. 

Blessings of love to you
 &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      I have been having almost this same conversation with my best friend.&amp;nbsp; In truth the understanding that to step out of the order of the universe is to invite suffering.&amp;nbsp; And the conversation piece that I also hold out is the understanding that nature supports expansion and contraction.&amp;nbsp; This world, and this life we have cannot operate without it.&amp;nbsp; Our world is held in balance by the tension created by the axis of the poles.&lt;br /&gt;I know that when I am within the natural order of things, even if there is tension and contraction or expansion.... there is peace with that.&amp;nbsp; I watched my sister give birth to my niece and I am certain that part of our endeavor in this life is to move through the natural process and honor all things, including pain, grief, hurt, anger, frustration.&lt;br /&gt;For me.... suffering.... is a pattern of choice that layers hurt upon hurt.&amp;nbsp; And the thoughts that wind themselves around a belief system that creates more suffering.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What you wrote is extraordinary and beautiful.&amp;nbsp; Really was perfect for me this day! &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      Namaste

"No matter where you are, or where you think you are, the light of your love shines eternally radiant".

...were the words that greeted me this day, as the gentle patter of rain infused mist,  guided me from the realm of dreams, to waking consciousness.  I rested awhile in this loving awareness, enfolded within the embrace of the Divine. 

In this awareness, I feel as though the rain is calling me to remembrance.  It is like the rain is reflecting something truly wondrous.  Right now, in this moment is pure consciousness. I can feel this realization as a tingling effervescence, singing through my atoms.  

Curiously, I find myself experiencing the density of physicality.  I can see, hear, smell, touch, feel and interact with physical matter. Yet from the perspective of absolute consciousnes, within the now, I experience that which is beyond our four-dimensional world (three dimensions of space and time)... I experience that which is beyond space and time.  This is not a unique ability.  It simply is.  This experience exists for us all, in the now.

I am reminded of Zero-point energy, defined within quantum physics as the untapped energy of space that exists, possibly as tiny vibrating superstrings (so small that a trillion trillion can fit into an atom!), and multidimensional membranes that coexist with the strings.  I am aware of worlds within worlds.  Multiple dimensions intricately folded upon each other like a ribbon of light.  Sometimes I feel I can just reach out and touch the world next door! Imagine, if right now, right next to you is a field of vibrating energy comprising of another dimension.  A wow moment indeed.

We are so much more than we can ever imagine.  It can be mind blowing!  Interestingly, when our brain activity is measured, only about a third of our brain is showing activity. This illumines that sole relience upon our physical faculties can limit our understanding. There is much we can do to enhance, develop and integrate within our realm of understanding. All life is change. If we try too do, to push, to hold or to escape the natural order of things, there is tension. In doing this, in pushing against the natural flow of life, we create stress and suffering for ourselves. The focus for our growth therefore is not so much doing, but simply being. When we engage in regular practices that focus our attention within the present, we naturally flow with what ever is.

In essence, we are pure consciousness.  Within the realm of our physical experience, we tend to identify with that which we can tangibly see, feel and experience.  I know for me, I tend to over think things, or over identify with the energy expressing around me.   When this happens, I become distracted by the fleeting clouds of thought and energy, which obscure my inner light.  All the while, I am still shining.  I just don't see it.

Within the moment, something wondrous happens.  Essence of being. In Truth. In Consciousness. In Bliss. The Three-fold Flame of Divine Remembrance (Sacchidananda: Truth-Consciousness-Bliss) radiatly illumines the love, abundance and infinite energy that you are. The sunshine pierces through the clouds, casting a myriad of golden sunbeams.  The clouds dissipate and dissolve into nothingness. In this space we are able to experience and cultivate non-attachment.  We can simply let go - and be.

Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti
May Peace Prevail on Earth &lt;/p&gt;
