Thought for the day ...

"There is nothing either bad or good, but thinking makes it so."

Shakespeare

Seeing life through "new" eyes with complete clarity, detachment and truth enables us to see that in what may appear to one as "darkness" there is a lesson in light.

As our grandmothers would say "There is a silver lining in every cloud."

With this practice comes ease - ease to move through life's illusions - no analysing or "clinging on" for a new "story" or identity - just complete surrender to what is -

We cannot change what is - so why struggle against it and make it more difficult for our selves ...

I have reached a space where what would once appear as darkness is now greeted with love - for I learn so much and grow in strength, health, wisdom and spirit ...

Without these "darker" days I would not grow nor be who I am now ....

It is merely a choice to grow through the pain - this is surrender - it is not a new story or identity, it is a time that will pass when I have received the "message" ...

And not only do I trust this - I know this to be so.

The quicker we detach from the emotions - accept what IS, the quicker the lesson is clear ....

It is for us then not to speak of our yesterdays or our tomorrows -creating with the mind - visions, conversations and hurts of the past or fear, anxiety or worries of that which is to come -

These issues will only occur in your present time if there is a need for healing, buttons will only be pressed if there is pain -

It is not for our "ego" to keep a strong grip of that "back - pack" of days gone or to create fears of what ifs. Why torment ourselves?

In the NOW, you can only be grounded, there is focus, there is clarity and the signs are like the stars on a cloudless night - so crisp and clear -

Do not let the mind carry you away - Be here NOW, where your power is, do not scatter your energy in time that no longer exists or is yet to come -

The Angels, God, the Higher Beings of Light can only assist you if you choose to be at one with life - that oneness, that wholeness can only be found in the NOW.

"Time is what keeps the light from reaching us. There is no greatest obstacle to God than time" Echart

Again I write to you of the Power of Now, so many emails reflect to me that this is still not learnt - health for some has been fragile, tiredness - energy is scattered - we can only be of service to others, the planet and ourselves if we choose to live in the NOW and this message has been very strong from the Angelic Realm since October 2006- when we are not focused on the moment, it is so easy for others, the news, situations or our own ego to knock us off balance - Our light needs to radiate no matter what - our connection strong and pure even in the "darker" days ....

A tree - its branches reaching into the light, glistening in the warmth of the sun, drinking in this pure energy, down into the wise, strong tree trunk, safe, secure, it simply IS ... the trees roots spreading over the richness of the moist green grass, sinking deeper and deeper into the earth's soil ... deeper until it reaches the center where the fire burns - this warm mother energy flowing up the roots - the tree a pure and divine channel between Heaven and Earth - it simply IS ...

This is a beautiful symbol that reflects our potential - the winds of storm or the gentle breeze may pass through the branches of the tree - and yet the tree remains centered, wise and connected.

I highly recommend that your practice this as a daily meditation, - "be a tree" *smile*. - discover what kind of tree reflects you at this moment and time and feed it daily, watch this image grow and blossom as you do ..

Also a very good read is The Power of Now and Practising the Power of Now by Echart Tolle. It is a read that you may read a little at a time as you reflect upon his words, digest them and let them become one with your life ....

Smoky Quartz is also a fantastic crystal to work with to assit you to keep grounded so that you may do your "light work" on this earth plane, it also clears the aura of dense energies

As before I say again "If not NOW, then when?"
