LIVING INSPIRED

Many people write to me and want to know how they can open up to hear their own messages from the spiritual realm or from the Divine.  Spiritual guidance is always available at any given moment but first we must understand how to align ourselves with this energy. 
 

On a daily basis most of us create a To-Do list.  Many of the items on that list involve activities that we have created or that were created for us. Many of you try and talk yourself into getting motivated to complete these tasks.  If you are trying to find motivation then you must ask yourself - Is this what I really want ? or is this what is expected from me from others, or myself ? For example: household chores; laundry, cleaning, paperwork, etc. or outside chores such as getting your car washed, going food shopping or exercising.   All of these things will get done, but you must understand the difference between being motivated to do things, which is a push feeling and being inspired to do things which, is a pull feeling. How many of you have ever put the words "allowing myself to become inspired" on your daily To-Do list? If you haven't thought of doing that, I suggest you add this as number 1. To be Inspired means to be "In Spirit".  No matter how busy I am and how many obligations I have, I would lose myself If I didn't take time to still my mind and to just BE.  In order to be inspired, you must constantly align, or re-align yourself with your inner wisdom which is most definitely connected to The Divine Mind.  Meditation is a great way to listen to the voice that guides and directs us.  You do not need to climb a mountain and sit in a yogi position to do this. One can be among chaos and confusion and can still learn how to keep inner peace flowing in order to drown out the constant noise inside your own head.  To quiet the mind, you must stop thinking about anything that will take you away from hearing the voice of God or from being "in Spirit" or inspired. The very fact that I am writing this blog is because I was inspired with the sudden urge to share.  Where did this urge come from ?  I was suddenly inspired while enjoying my morning coffee.  I have a zillion things on my To-Do list with urgent deadlines.  Am I worried ? No !!!  If you're like me, you will know when you're being inspired to do something because it seems to come from an outside source and this source is always available once we are plugged-in.  When you are relaxed and free of all of the external chatter, inspiration very often looks like this:

• You feel it in your core and in your bones; it is a knowing that you can't explain;
• Sometimes you feel as if the inspiration came from an external force (this may be the case but it will make more sense to you once you remember that you agreed and conspired for this inspiration before you were born);
• There is no rhyme or reason for the urge except that you know it will make you feel good, raise you higher and not only will it help you in some way, but it will help others;
• You can't wait another second and you can't hold yourself back from starting right now;
• You are in complete agreement with the inspiration as you hold a passion and love for what it is you are being inspired to do.  

Please don't get me wrong, being motivated is not necessarily a bad thing but it usually has a negative connotation attached and is often influenced by fear or tension. e.g. timelines, expectations, ego. etc. I think if you pay close attention to activities that will bring you joy and peace, with a feeling of fulfillment,  you are living "In-Spirit" or staying inspired.  If you dread having to do something, your logical mind is having a field day and is wreaking havoc blocking any inspiration that may come your way. Stay In Spirit and you will always be directed to live in the flow of the Divine plan. I think we can find "The Happy Medium" between Motivation and Inspiration and knowing best when each one should take the lead.

FINAL DESTINATION

Welcome to my Blog "Remind the Masses".  I hope you are enjoying reading my blogs and I hope this Spirit Inspired Message reaches a place inside of you that resonates and inspires you on your journey of discovery.  As humans we can all lose our way in this world, but as many spiritual teachers believe - "We are in this world, but we are not of this world".  What does that really mean? It means we are NOT human beings having a Spiritual experience, but Spiritual beings having a human experience.  Coming to planet Earth is like going on a journey of discovery, and just like any long term exploration, we must plan ahead with the necessary tools and training that will allow us to survive and navigate the mission in which we set out for.  Would you leave for a cross-country drive without a road map, water and other supplies that will keep you thriving along your route?  When an astronaut prepares for his mission of discovery and leaves on a space shuttle to go from one planet to another, he must train for a long while to be able to acclimate to his surroundings and he must take the necessary steps to learn survival skills, taking a survival kit with him once he lands in this foreign territory. He must even wear a special space suit in order to sustain the harsh conditions of another planet.  He goes through several simulated exercises so he is prepared for the actual experience once he is there.  The same is true for our Soul once it decides to leave it's comfort zone and come to Planet Earth.  Just like an astronaut, we must go through extensive preparation, planning and simulations before entering Earth.  Also like an astronaut, you pick out your very own personal suit which is the physical body of you.  Hey and guess what? You even get to pick out the color of your suit, as well as other physical attributes that go along with it.  Your Survival Kit includes other Souls who agreed to help you carry out your mission as well as other carefully planned out events and experiences, as well as the geographical location in which you enter.  You get to pick who these people will be; everyone from your parents, family members,  friends and lovers.  Many reading this who may not have favorable circumstances in your life, have just scratched your head and are denying that you would ever pick such a miserable existence.  You are probably thinking that you would have picked a wealthy family or possibly a better career, a bigger house, fancier car and oh yes, the word stress would not exist in your vocabulary.  Certainly you would pick a life which would be one big party on a yacht in the Mediterranean,  Right ?  While it may be true that some of you did construct your plan with quite a bit of perks, make no mistake that there are other circumstances that you may have picked that are not so favorable.  The grass may seem greener in your neighbor's yard but believe me, if you look hard enough, you will find some weeds and even if it seems greener, they still have to mow it (meaning, they have to do the work in order to keep it green).  I love metaphors, don't you?  There are some people in this world that seem to have it all.  Do not ever assume that they do not have any problems or issues just because they have learned to wear a fool proof mask that hides their pain.  Illusions can be very tricky and they can even leave you comparing yourself to others wishing you had their life.  Instead, Spirit's message is to teach that each and everyone has a Life-Theme that our individual Soul chose before we embarked on this earthly mission.  You may have loads of money but no one to share it with.  On the contrary, you may have loads of love from family and friends with lots of emotional support, but have to struggle to make ends meet.  The journey of one's Soul cannot be mastered in one go around or one life-time, but instead is on going until it reaches the point of true Spiritual Mastery or Enlightenment.  In other lifetimes (yes I wholeheartedly believe in re-incarnation) or for the love of being Green, I will call it re-cycled souls, you may have picked a theme and hopefully mastered it.  If not, you can rest assure, you are working through it again here and now.  You only picked it, along with the Divine, angels, spirit guides and ascended masters to help you be the best that you can be.  Many of you know what you picked as your life's theme and many are still trying to figure it out.  If you have no idea, I'll give you a hint.....Your theme is that nagging situation that constantly keeps re-appearing no matter how much you think you are done.  For example, some people may keep picking abusive relationships in their life.  This can be in the form of a parent, a teacher, a friend or of course a spouse.  Can you guess this theme?  Hopefully you guessed Self-Love, Self-Respect or both.  When you love and respect yourself enough, you teach others to love and respect you.  The good news is we can have more than one theme that we may pick in a lifetime.  So, once you master one theme, the other one will show up immediately and will be repeated in your life until you get that one under your belt.  The quicker you learn, the easier things will be.  Not recognizing your theme can become a blockage in attaining the intended goal.  Remember the survival kit that I spoke about earlier?  The information from that survival kit has been downloaded into your Soul like a hard drive of a computer and each time you decide to come to Mission Earth, you can refer back to that and your very carefully planned out life map.

In conclusion, whether your current life's map involves the road less traveled or one that boasts a charmed existence, each soul is a spark of THE DIVINE.  Whether or not it takes one lifetime or a thousand, the Journey of the Soul is to find it's way back to it's Source of Love and Light,  reaching the path of enlightenment in order to co-exist with peace, love and harmony. This is it's true

Ringing in the NOW in 2015

Happy New Year and welcome to 2015. As a new year begins, we are reminded that the past is behind us and there is not much we can do to change that and all we have are lessons learned and memories, good or bad. The future is not here yet and is not promised to anyone and in reality, all we truly have is the present moment of NOW. With every New Year, many people vow to make changes to better themselves. There is nothing wrong with trying to be the best you can be but why wait for a new year to make these changes or improvements. The amazing Lao Tzu has said, “If you're depressed, you're living in the past. If you're anxious, you're living in the future. If you're at peace, you're living in the present” and to quote the Dali Lama when asked what surprises him the most about human behavior his response was: “What surprises me most about a human is he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.” You may want to read that a few times slowly to absorb it's meaning. How profound is that ?

Think about what new goals you have set for yourself in 2015.  Those goals all started with a thought or a desire.  They have no relevance or power in your past as that is not where you are able to create, but it is where you have already created.  To have a goal and stick to it, it must be activated in the current moment or the NOW or else it has no future.  Let's say my goal is to lose ten pounds in the next couple of months.  My mindset cannot think "in a month I will be ten pounds lighter" and poof, it happens.  This can only happen if you take action moment to moment to make it your reality.  If you make decisions in each moment to get closer to your goal of losing that ten pounds, only then will the results be successful in the future.  When a desired goal stays in your head or your thoughts, unless you take action in the NOW, it will remain nothing but a hope, a wish or a dream.  What are the results ? We continually beat ourselves up for not having enough willpower to stick to our New Year's resolution and it can create a downward spiral from there.  Be conscious and pay close attention to every thought that comes in.  Ask yourself - will this thought get me closer to my goals ? or will it keep me further away or separated from them?  If the answer is the latter, please know that you have complete control to "Shake it off" and redirect that thought to one that packs a strong punch the same way it did when the new year first started and you had all of the determination to MAKE IT HAPPEN.  As humans, we are programmed to think ahead and plan for the future. The only problem with that is that the future only exists in your head.  When tomorrow arrives, it will arrive as another present moment. If you are so busy worrying about what will happen, you will miss the here and now. You have heard that your thoughts create your reality?  That is why each thought is crucial to determine how each moment will unfold to create your future.  Remember the future is comprised of many moments of NOW all put together.  You will never feel in control if your mind goes back to the past or if it goes forward to the future.  Think about it ?  You have no power to change the past and you certainly have no power in the future, as the future is a time and space that does not even exist.  Therefore, the only power you will ever have to realize your dreams is in this current moment.  The biggest gift of all that humans have which others do not is the gift of "FREE WILL".  Where can you redeem this gift? Yes, you guessed it.....in the present moment.

I hope you enjoyed this month's newsletter.  I am always inspired by my Spirit Guides, or as I like to refer to them as my "Staff".  We had a Staff Meeting and they inspired me to "Remind the Masses" of the moment of NOW.  I am so excited to be able to see you LIVE, in person, at the end of this month - January 23, 24 & 25th.
