Light my Fire

“We must live in such a way that the splendor of our lives, the passion of our lives, and the beauty of our lives reaches out in a flame of divine passion that awakens the divine passion in others.” ~Andrew Harvey author

I ADORE this quote. Isn’t this why we’re all here? To light up. To shine brightly. To help others light up. Imagine what our world would look like if we were all syncing up with our passions and our purpose? How can we shine more brightly? How can we live more passionatley? How can we BEcome more authentically us? How can we fully express our unique creativity?

Wanna know how? More PLAY time. Uh-huh. That’s right. Get dirty. Get messy. Get down on the floor and roll around with your dogs. Get in the sandbox with your kids. Pull out the paint that’s half dried up in the closet and splatter it all over something. Get in your garden and get dirt underneath you nails. Go to the zoo. Visit a comedy club. Take a friends kids to the playground if you don’t have any. Climb on the jungle gym. Swing. Slide. Hang upside down from the monkey bars. Laugh your ass off!

Run. Skip. Roller-skate. Karaoke. Play the guitar. Bang on the drums. Take pictures. Jump on a trampoline. Kint a scarf. Bake cookies. Walk through an art gallery. What’s fun for you?

Open up that FUN channel of energy. As adults we often forget that it’s OK to still have FUN! When you laugh and FEEL that warm, positive energy flow through you, you sitr up the goodness and break down the negative mojo in your body. When you are having FUN you feel good. When you feel good, you radiate positive energy and vibrate at a higher frequency. Therefore, you attract more amazing things into your life. FUN+JOY+LAUGHTER= Happily magenetizing abundance easily and automatically.

What playful adventures can you get into today? This week? This month? This year? How can you laugh more everyday? What people can you surround yourself with that put a smile on your face?

In-Tune-ition

“Work while you have the light. You are responsible for the talent that has been entrusted to you.” ~Henri Fredric Amiel

I’m renaming intuition, “In-Tune-ition”. When we’re able to strengthen our intuition and hear that internal signal sending us messages, we’re able to increase the flow and momentum in our daily lives. Not sure what intuition sounds like? Ever had a “gut feeling”? Does your stomach tie up in knots when you think of or are involved face to face with certain people? Ever get the chills, or “hear” a word or phrase echo in your head? How about “see” a flash or an image? Often intuition comes with no valid evidence. A “hit” does just that. It “hits” you as if by random chance. That’s intuition at work.

Each month Spirituality & Health magazine takes a look at “distributive intelligence”. They are finding that “brains” are located throughout the body. Taking note that, “The mind is not just the brain - that a gut feeling is literally located in the gut.” How amazing is that? There is not need to over-intellectualize anymore. Over-analyzation is no longer necessary. We can literally use ALL of our senses to decipher information to come to a more fully authentic CHOICE when making decisions!

Next time you feel a tug at your heartstrings, a tap on your shoulder, a gut feeling, the hairs on the back of your neck stand up, a wave of energy pass though you, a flash of a picture or image, hear a voice speaking a word or phrase - LISTEN to it and heed it’s call. Our higher selves are always one step ahead of us. They can see the bigger vision for our lives and send us messages any way they can. It is our job to “tune-in” and listen. How can you tune in more easily?

Try these 7 tips…

1) Get plenty of rest. Sleep deprivation makes us fuzzy and can scamble our internal radar. When we’re well rested, we’re more alert, alive and more likely to pick up on subtle cues, clues and messeges.

2) Eat healthier. Treating our bodies like the “brains” that they are, is essential for six-sensory living. When we feel “light” and healthy, we are more tuned into that higher frequency. I’m not saying I don’t partake in some chicken nachos and a frosty cold one from time to time, just try to stick with lean and light and you’ll amp up your connection.

3) Move! No gym membership required. No need to spend high dollar on fitness equipment or a fancy workout wardrobe. Just MOVE! Put your shoes on and walk. Run. Ride a bike. Do yoga. Go out dancing. Crank up the tunes and get down with your bad self in the living room. Run around with the kids in the backyard. Moving your body stirs your soul, again helping you tune in to your internal guidance.

4) Be open-minded. if you’re not used to hearing that voice (not voices!) it might be disconcerting at first. Start trusting your FEELINGS, and go with that sense of KNOWING. Don’t over analyze it. Just go with your fiirst instinct. That is spirit talking and when you FEEL it coming in loud and clear, don’t question it.

5) Maintain an attitude of gratitude. Saying thank you for your connection to your higher self, your higher power, your higher energy source, helps to strengthen that connection. A simple “thank you” on a daily basis works just fine. Keep a gratitude journal and list 7 things each day that you’re grateful for. Try it and watch the goodness you attract into your life! It’s easy, just say thanks.

6) Quiet down. TV, radio and daily interactions through phone and e-mail can all be overwhelming. Take time each day to unplug. In order to “tune in” we’ve got to get quiet. If you typically leave the TV on while cooking, cleaning, or playing with your kids, try turning it off. Start with just one hour a day and see how refreshed you’ll start to feel without all the background racket.

7) Clean up your space. Visual chaos in your home is similar to the TV and radio racket. Look around your living & work space. Do your eyes have lovely objects and pictures to STOP and linger on as they scan the room? Or do you want to go into hiding because just looking at all the clutter - piles of magazines, mail, toys, old dishes or knick-knacks that no longer serve your purpose - overwhelm you? Junk causes anxiety. Clutter causes visual clausterphobia and can scramble out internal radar.

RX for Success

“Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.” ~Dr. Suess

Could the good Dr. have said it any better? Expressing who you are IS your greatest gift to give in this world. It IS your purpose to live passionately. There is no mightier task at hand. When we feel good, we light up. From the inside out. When we light up, we open up. We open our hearts, our minds, and our souls. When we open up, we connect. When we connect with others we raise the vibration of this lovely, dizzy planet.

We were not put here to live with psychological pain and struggle. Our purpose is to BE who we are. A unique and beautiful expression of that one infineite source energy. God. Goddess. Universe. Jesus. Buddha. It’s not my business what you call it. We were born to channel creative and passionate energy to fulfill the work of that one true power. It works through us. AS us.

By BEing our creatively unique, and authentic selves, we move one step closer to expressing that power within us. By accepting who we are, right now, in this monmet  - choosing to change the things WE are moved to change - is our birthright.

Creating time and space to incorporate PLAY into our busy lives, we open up that channel - allowing for more peace, love, and positive energy to flow into our lives. By “tuning in” to our higher selves and listening for those quiet, yet powerful messages that is spirit speaking directly to us, we unhook ourselves from old limiting ways of thinking.

By living in gratitude, we increase the momentum of abundance that rolls our way. When we say thank you for what we have and again for the things we desire to have - as if we already have it -  we step into the process of co-creating our own reality. Create a sacred space to live and work. Get some sleep. Stop zoning out with the racket and start tuning into your internal guidance system.

What version of reality are you co-creating? Peace or chaos? Are you spreading love or fear? Are you creating health, wealth and wisdom or sickness, scarcity and ignorance? Choose to BE who YOU really are. Create the life YOU were meant to live. Be present in your daily interactions. Create a life full of passion and purpose. This is truly your greatest mission!

Be bold. Be bad-ass. Be YOU. In all your divine glory!

Much love,
