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.

I hope you all enjoyed this mind-provoking blog.  I want to remind you all that your favorite show "The Haunting Of.." has a brand new night - THURSDAYS AT 9 PM EST / 8C on Lifetime Movie Network (LMN).  Be sure to stay tuned for all new episodes including your favorite celebrities.  If you want to see me LIVE, in person, my next appearance will be in sunny Florida on October 27th in Ft.

SOULS R US

Thank you for finding your way to my blog.  Spirit has inspired me to remind you who you really are.  If I were to ask you to describe yourself, how would you answer?  Would you identify yourself with the roles you have acquired in your life such as a good mom, a good father, a hard worker, a person with good morals and values?  Maybe you would identify yourself with what you do for a living, or your special talents. When you think about the question, who am I?  Do you identify yourself with your physical identity as in someone who is too tall, too short, having red hair, blond hair or curly hair? Someone who spends endless time figuring out how you can change your physical appearance by dieting or working out?  Perhaps you are like many and identify yourself with the way other people have labeled you at some point such as your parents, teachers, friends, children and spouses?  Maybe your answer is all of the above.  What if I were to tell you that you are none of these things?  Confused?  Let me explain.  You are a Spiritual Being having a human experience.  What this means is that you are a SOUL.  There are many people who would argue that the Spirit and the Soul is not the same thing.  That is up for debate.  What I am talking about is the energy that breathed life into your existence.  Just like a battery that holds the juice to power an electronic device.  The Soul is your life force or the juice.  It can exist in any dimension and is not bound by space or time.  It is ageless and endless and the essence of who you really are; and while we are here on earth the most common way a soul can thrive in a physical body is by expressing it's highest vibration of creation and love using its biggest asset, FREE WILL.  It is the direct link to ALL THAT IS or the spark of the Divine. It is the light that shines within us.  It is oneness and wholeness.  It can never be separated, segregated or divided from its Source.  I call this Source God and the Holy Spirit.  Many have different names for Source and that is okay.  The Soul is not about religion, as religion will surely separate and divide the human race.  Have you ever heard the expression "Soul Search"?  It is called that for a reason.  Since you are a chip off the old block of the Divine, you are naturally ingrained with a navigation system that only has one destination - Back Home or back to the light.  Many people have confessed to not feeling like they belong here on earth.  Like they are different or isolated.   Because you are not separate, you will always be taken care of.  Unfortunately many people have learned to play by the rules of their EGO and have forgotten who they truly are.   Society has programmed many of us to believe it's a dog eat dog world.  It's every man for themselves.  The Ego of man is the factor that has people believing that they are all alone.  The ego mind has created competition to the highest degree here on planet earth.  Where there is competition, there is insecurity, loneliness and vulnerability.  The Soul was never meant to be separate from the whole.  It would be just like taking a fish out of the ocean.  Without the resources that feed it, it is sure to die.  Many people write to me telling me they are dying inside and I know their only hope to thrive again is to find their way back to their ocean, back to their food supply and that is LOVE.  The problem is many do not know how to do this.  It is very easy these days to get caught up in the shadow side of people.  Turning on the news will do it every time.  I don't suggest hiding under a rock or burying your head in the sand.  The solution lies not in how others act or conduct themselves, but in how you react to it.  If you know how loved you truly are in the eyes of the Divine, you would walk with your head held up high as if you have some magic fairy dust in your back pocket that you can use whenever you get sucked into the negativity of others.  Sprinkle some of that dust wherever you go, and you can rest assure, people will ask you what is your secret.  Stay tuned for future Spirit inspired blogs.  Until next time I wish you Love & Light.

Namaste 😏 💫✨ Kim Russo - The Happy Medium
