Encouragement is Every Where! Blog #34

Finding encouraging words of support and exactly the words that I needed to hear in this very moment, has changed and enlightened my outlook and touches my heart and always makes me smile. Sometimes in meditation or talking to a friend or client, or writing in my journal, or on Facebook or TV, the message I need just appear.

Every morning, I like to open a book to get inspiring guidance for the day and it always seems to have the perfect message for me.

A few years ago I was guided to start reading every day a few lines from one of my books from the bookshelf. It has been amazing and is almost always right on as to what I am working on in my life.

I sit and ground myself and become nice and centered and then ask within, what is my guidance for today? Or I may ask a question that I have been looking at.

I then open the book and there is my answer and guidance. It is often exactly the answer or maybe a piece of the puzzle I needed to know. So very powerful, encouraging, and so reassuring that I am on my path.

Encouraging words I have opened to:

DESCERATA

 …BE GENTLE WITH YOURSELVES YOU ARE A CHILD OF THE UNIVERSE NO LESS THAN THE TREES AND THE STARS, YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO BE HERE. WEATHER OR NOT IT IS CLEAR TO YOU, NO DOUBT THE UNIVERSE IS UNFOLDING AS IT SHOULD. WHATEVER YOUR LABORS AND ASPIRATIONS IN THE NOISY CONFUSION OF LIFE: KEEP PEACE WITH YOUR SOUL. BE CAREFUL. STRIVE TO BE HAPPY!!!

Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh
The Sound of One Hand Clapping

One has just to be oneself.
The moment you accept yourself as you are, all burdens simply disappear.
Then life is a sheer joy, a festival of lights

 Here is a poem I wrote to encourage myself.

I hope it encourages you too!

What is a Minister

A minister is someone who has a calling from God, as a shepherd of souls in his care.

They are someone who comforts an unhappy heart with a smile, a word, and a prayer.

A minister’s whose strength and devotion enriches the lives of others.

They are someone who teaches and lives the truth, that “all men are brothers”!

A minister is someone whose goal is to follow, a worthy and lofty ideal.

To guide others souls in the straight path of truth, to empathize, comfort, and heal.

A minister is someone of great understanding whose selfless devotion is Love.

They impart to all hearts the spirit of giving, and add to life’s truth of pure love.                    

For each is a minister in their own sacred way, and let us embrace that divine awareness today.

Louise L. Hay

You Can Heal Your Life

In the infinity of life where I am,

All is perfect, whole, and complete.

Each one of us, myself included, experiences the richness

And fullness of life in ways that are meaningful to us.

I now look at the past with love and choose

to learn from my old experienced.

There is no right or wrong, nor good or bad.

The past is over and done.

There is only the experience of the moment.

I share what and who I am,

for I know we are all One in Spirit.

All is well in my world.

Love & Blessings to All at this beautiful sacred time!!

Happy Joyful Peaceful Holy Days!
