Listen to the quiet voice inside

"As you grow and progress on your spiritual journey,
you want to be free to decide who you really are.
Tuning out the chatter of the ego voice
that keeps you enslaved to a limited sense of self
will help you go beyond your usual experience of yourself."

- New Moon in Aries email from The Kabbalah Center

You can choose to listen to your head - your ego - intellect. Or you can choose to listen to your heart - your intuition - the voice of God inside.

The ego voice always operates from a place of fear and limitation and will tell you all the reasons why you Can't.....

The "quiet voice inside" - the voice of Spirit/God/Intuition - will always come from a place of love, peace, and expansiveness and will gently nudge you toward growth....

But you have to decide "Who You Really Are"

Are you an embodiment of fear, limitation, and darkness?

Or are you an embodiment of Love, expansiveness, and light?

Like it says in the Bible, you can't serve two masters. Which will you choose today? Right now?

Fear and limitation? Or Love and unlimited possibilities?

Here's to continuing the Journey.... every day, in every moment...... choosing 'whom we will serve'....

What's YOUR Dream?

I was reminded again this morning about the Susan Boyle story..... a 40-something woman that never gave up on her dream..... who faced ridicule and humiliation but kept going and did it anyway! 

She is a role model for all of us.... Don't let life kill your dream!

See her first audition where she surprised the world......

Lyrics: I Dreamed a Dream

I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high,
And life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving.

When I was young and unafraid
When dreams were made and used,
And wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung,
No wine untasted.

But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hopes apart
As they turn your dreams to shame.

And still I dream he'll come to me
And we will live our lives together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms
We cannot weather....

I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living
So different now from what it seems
Now life has killed
The dream I dreamed.

Here's to continuing the Journey..... and having the courage to LIVE your dream.

7 Soul Messages for Spiritual Healing - Message 5

This "7 Soul Messages for Spiritual Healing" Series is meant to offer a different perspective, or a new way of looking at things, and give some tips to help heal those "imbalances and disharmonies" we've collected along the way.... (see original post) 

Soul Message # 5:  Strength is Silent and Deep

Our greatest strength is not found in the outer show of force. It is in the silence deep within us.

This strength, or inner power, is found in the stillness... it's heard in the "still small voice" inside our being... It's found through reflection, contemplation, and meditation.

This deep, silent inner power is in all of us. Sometimes it comes through times of growth and change. Sometimes it comes through surviving and overcoming painful situations.... But it's always there waiting - waiting to be accessed, waiting to be shared.

I woke up this morning with a song going through my head... It's an old hymn text that I adapted and wrote a new melody for back in 1991. Here are the words:

In shady green pastures so rich and so sweet,
God leads his children along
Where the water's cool flow bathes the weary one's feet
God leads his children along.

Some through the waters, some through the flood,
Some through the fire, but all through his Love;
Some through great sorrow, but God gives a song
to lead us in the night season and all the day long.

Though sorrows befall us and evil oppose us;
Through grace we can conquer
and defeat all our foes because we know

The times on the mountain where the sun shines so bright,
God is there leading us along;
And the times in the valley, in the darkest of night,
God is there; He leads us along.

Take a few moments to reflect on your life....

• What did you learn from those challenging times?
• How did they made you stronger?
• What were the times in your life that you grew the most?
• How did they change you for the better?
• What did the good times... those "mountain top" experiences teach you?
• What did you learn about yourself?

Our greatest strength is silent and deep.... I encourage you to access it often!

Here's to continuing the Journey... making it through the ups and downs... gaining strength and inner power along the way....
