Breathe in slowly and deeply, pausing at the end of the inhalation, and then mentally say, “Relax,” to yourself as you slowly release the breath.

Peace of Mind - Deleting the Inner Critic The mind, our beautiful mind.

Our intelligence, insights, intuition, creativity, wonder, vision, and so much glorious capacity in our mind when it is free, clear, and peaceful.

But our minds are not always free, clear, and peaceful.

Have you noticed?

Is there sometimes a negative voice in your head?

For most of us, there is an inner critic, a voice in our head of self-criticism, self-judgment, and negative self-talk.

Take a deep focused breath, inhale and expand your chest, exhale and relax your shoulders.

As you keep breathing, consider that within your mind there is both speaking and listening going on.

Things are said and listened to in our mind. Sometimes we are more identified with the speaker, and sometimes we’re more identified with the listener.

Keep focusing on your breathing to regulate yourself into feeling a more peaceful vibration.

Our thoughts are often just rambling on and on, and we’re attentively listening, without consciously choosing to do so. It can be hypnotically automatic.

Let’s call this the inner critic, comprised of what seems like an inner judge, an inner controller, self-criticism, and negative self-talk.

Does this ever go on in your mind? How do you feel about that?

As you take some deeper breaths, consider silencing the inner critic whenever you want to and deleting it for good.

How does that feel?

You do have choice.

And you can delete the inner critic and all its voices.

This is a great turning point for us, for all of us, to realize that we can have more agency and control over what happens in our beautiful minds.

This is why the power of your focus, the ability to steer your attention as you desire, is such a treasure.

There are many wounded parts of ourselves as well, which deserve compassion, forgiveness, and loving-kindness, not criticism.

Take a few deeper breaths. And as you do, bring some compassion, some forgiveness, and breathe loving-kindness into yourself.

We are adaptable, accommodating beings, and we have somehow accepted this infiltration into our mental body as normal.

Because we learn from everything we experience, we may have created some value from hosting the inner critic, unaware that it is an infiltration and that it doesn’t belong to us, or in us.

It’s time to say no. No more. It’s time to hit delete, like a virus in our computers infiltrating the operating system. Delete it. Erase it.

You can do this! It just takes application, determination, perseverance, and kindness to yourself.

Ask yourself, is there really anything else you need to learn from being criticized, judged, abused, and bullied by a voice in your head?

Are you ready to be done with that kind of infiltration in your mental body?

It takes a dedicated commitment to not listen. To realize it has nothing to offer you.

Does it ever make you feel good?

It’s your choice.

And you have the power and the freedom to choose where you place your attention, and what you listen to, inside your head and outside your head.

Of course, sometimes there are sirens going on outside, and sometimes there are sirens going on inside, and we do need to listen.

But we get to listen from a place of conscious awareness, not just automatic hypnotic attention.

Once you absolutely decide not to listen, you empower yourself to say no.

Like a child who puts their fingers in their ears and says, “nah, nah, nah,” we can do that.

No need to think about it too much, just say, “No, I’m done.”

Be aware that the inner critic switches back and forth as a speaker and a listener inside your head, a switch and bait tactic.

So be conscious of both. Especially pay attention to the part of you that’s listening.

And know you can at any time consciously redirect your attention away from listening to negative self-talk, which is always about the past or the future.

So placing your attention in the present moment instantly liberates your mind.

It really doesn’t take long to silence that voice once you decide you’re not going to listen to any of it at all.

As you diligently practice consciously redirecting your attention every time the inner critic shows up, you will strengthen your capacity to focus as you choose. You will delete that voice and erase that program infiltrating your mind.

You will free your beautiful mind.

Take another few deep focused breaths. Expand your chest as you breathe in, and relax your shoulders as you breathe out. Three times.

Here are some ways to instantly turn off the inner critic in any moment: First and foremost, be vigilant to notice whenever it shows up.

The inner critic feeds on your attention. Don’t give it any attention. You will delete it by completely eliminating it from your attention.

Consciously take over both the speaking and the listening parts of your mind, they both belong only to you. Take your power back.

Catch yourself when your mind is off and running, and immediately redirect your attention to focus on something else, anything else.

You can focus on your breathing, count your breaths, and feel your body.

Mentally name and focus on one body part at a time as you scan your body.

Focus on anything that’s happening around you in the present moment, say something about it in your head, or name what you see around you.

Name what colors you see.

Listen to the sounds around you;

Sing, hum, or chant, giving each sound your full attention.

These are just some ways to ignore the inner critic so fully that it will die off.

It needs your attention to exist. If you don’t feed it, it cannot survive.

Stay focused in the present moment.

And be gentle with yourself.

If you find you’ve been listening for a while to an old story, especially do not let that negative voice jump in and criticize you about that!

Take another deep breath and exhale with a big sigh.

To free yourself from the inner critic is a most precious gift you can give yourself.

You will have more access to your infinite wisdom and your personal sovereignty.

You will be able to meet each moment from a place of peace, compassion, and forgiveness.

You will be able to center yourself in wonder, curiosity, and kindness.

You will be able to fully trust in the love that you truly are.

And you will have peace of mind.

A Radical Transformation We’ve all journeyed for a long time.

Let’s slow down and take a few deep breaths.

Breathing in to the heart space and breathing out, letting go and relaxing.

As you remain aware of the rhythm of your breath, shift to a higher perspective where you can reflect on how much you have truly evolved already.

You can really relax now.

It’s okay. It’s more than okay.

It’s essential.

You can discover and remember so much more of yourself when you are relaxed and at peace.

Feel into your inner peace.

Let the gentle vibrations of peace permeate your body and your whole being.

Part of this radical transformation is allowing ourselves to pause and relax.

We need to pause the momentum of our doing, our striving, and our planning, and let ourselves step back, breathe, and remember who we really are.

Feel your body.

Breathe into your heart space and relax into a quiet, peaceful, open state of being.

Feel how much you care.

Feel how much you care about someone you love, or several someones, or about Mother Nature.

Feel how much you care about yourself.

And feel the vibration of caring in your heart.

Be curious about what’s happening in your heart.

This caring you feel is an aspect of love.

Feel how caring comes from love.

Feel this love flowing through your heart.

Feel the love flowing through your heart and into your whole body.

Feel yourself breathing in pure love and feel the love flow into your whole being.

Feel yourself being loved.

This love flows unceasingly from an infinite source.

It infuses your whole being, loving you, just as you are, loving yourself unconditionally.

If you notice any impediments, just let them be there.

If you notice any resistance, just let it be there too, offering compassion to yourself.

And feel the relief of letting go.

Feel into your caring heart and love yourself.

Bring in kindness, compassion, and forgiveness.

Love yourself with gentleness and great joy.

No matter how much pain and suffering you have ever felt or even may be feeling now, love yourself unconditionally.

Be willing to keep feeling.

That is the most radical transformation there is.

You are an eternal being of infinite love, and no matter how far away from Source you have ever believed yourself to be, nothing can change the truth of who you are.

Keep being curious about what you feel as you allow yourself to love yourself with unconditional love.

You can repurpose your striving and your planning to be aware of every moment when you feel and remember this truth: that you are an eternal being of pure, infinite love and effervescent, radiant light.

Every breath is an opportunity to pause, breathe into your heart space, and relax.

So you can remind yourself that you are a being of love and light, over and over again.

And love yourself!

The Heart Of Desire

Take a few deep breaths and settle into this present moment.

Let the word desire drop into your mind. Say it a few times to yourself.

Notice what you are feeling.

Bring curiosity and innocence to this inquiry.

And use your breath to calm and comfort yourself as needed.

We all know the feeling of wanting something, what it feels like to want something.

Think of something you want. Something you really deeply want.

Focus on the feeling of wanting, of longing, of desire.

Notice where you feel this in your body.

And there are things we want to feel by fulfilling our desires, by getting what we want.

What is it you want to feel as a result of fulfilling what you desire?

Bring openness and wonder to this inquiry.

Stay present in your heart, feel your body, and breathe a bit more fully. Be consciously aware of all you are feeling.

Maybe you can notice long-held desires in the depths of your heart.

Desires to be seen, to be appreciated, to be loved, cherished, and trusted.

Maybe desires for meaning, purpose, truth. Maybe desires for inner peace, youthfulness, forgiveness.

So many things you might find there.

Feel the wanting, the deep longing in your heart. And bypass any thinking.

Breathe into the feeling of longing, and with each exhalation let go into more quietness.

Be aware of the sensations of longing vibrating in the depths of your heart.

And feel the longing vibrate at the very frequency of what you long for.

The longing and what you long for –

They reveal each other, they dance together with joy and excitement within you.

You can have and experience it all right now.

Feel yourself breathing. Softly opening your heart a little more in wonder and trust.

Reach deep into your longing. It might feel like an ancient yearning.

Let your longing take you deeper into the heart of your deepest desires.

And feel them met there with the resources of your infinite being.

In the quietness within you, you can have everything you’ve ever longed for.

Being present in this moment – 

Who knew that our desires could be such a treasure?

We are discovering so much about ourselves!

Let your deepest longings lead the way and guide your journey home –

to your truth –

your infinite being –

of love and light –

Your Glorious Self.

Shimmering With Light

Take a deep breath, Feel your body And just notice whatever you are feeling, with curiosity and kindness to yourself. It’s all ok. Whatever you are feeling, it’s all ok. And it’s always changing.

We all want to be happier and to feel good.

We all want more light and less darkness in our world, in our lives, and in ourselves.

We are beings of light, of infinite light and pure, unconditional love.

Take a few moments to feel that light and love in your heart.

Feel how much you care.

Feel your longing for more love.

You have so much love to give.

You have so much light to shine.

And both are growing stronger and brighter all the time.

Your own suffering has given you great compassion.

Like little children, human beings are inherently happy, curious, and adorable.

Think of someone you love, which can be a person, an animal, a pet, a tree, a place in nature;

feel the love filling your heart. Feel the light that is there too, within you.

With each breath, feel yourself filling with light. Every cell and particle of your body, sparkling and shimmering with light.

When the light comes, where does the darkness go?

It is simply gone.

Take another deep breath, Feel your body, And keep filling with light, breathing and shining your light, brighter and brighter.

You can always bring more light into yourself. Stay plugged into Source, as a priority. And feel the difference.

Breathe the infinite light of Source into your whole being.

Redirect your focus from what’s wrong to what’s going right. To what’s working in your life. To what you’re grateful for. To the many blessings. To the love and care you feel.

You wouldn’t be upset about all that’s wrong if you didn’t care.

Feel how much you care!

We’ve all become a little fascinated and even obsessed with what’s wrong. It’s time to change our focus. It’s time to be vigilant about what we give our energy and our attention to, because we energize and amplify what we focus on.

And it’s time to have more fun! How filled with light we become when we laugh and do things we really enjoy, like little happy children.

Focus on what you want the world to be, by being that yourself.

Loving Kind Forgiving Patient Gentle Funny Strong Empowered Clear

And unwavering in your commitment to honor yourself.

Lovingly speak your truth, even when you’re triggered and upset. Especially when you’re triggered and upset, once you’ve calmed down a bit.

Lovingly communicate the truth of you, what you feel and what you truly long for.

What beautiful examples we become of self- empowered human beings.

Every moment and each breath is an opportunity to shine more light in your heart. For yourself, for others, and for the world.

Shine your light, and see what happens.

In This Present Moment

In this present moment, you can relax,  make yourself comfortable,  and take a few deep, nurturing breaths.

Feel your body.

Feel your body relax.

As you quiet down, breathe into your heart space.

As human beings, we utilize time.  We live in the construct of time.

But the truth is, it's always right now.

Whenever you check in,  it's always right now, isn't it?

There really never is any other time.

Breathe yourself into this present moment.

Let this moment be empty, fresh, and unknown.

There is no past and no future in this present moment.  What we call the past is just thought.  Memories that are recalled in this present moment.  What we call the future exists only as potential.

Just thoughts, plans, and ideas  that we have in this present moment.

Breathe into your heart space.  Feel the energetic vibrations there.

Allow the energy from your heart  to overflow into your whole body.

Feel the feeling of feeling your body.

As you pay attention to this present moment,  see if you can discover when this moment  turns into the next moment.

The content can change, but does the moment?

We only need to focus on  what is happening right now  in this present moment.

Everything you experience and ever will experience,  everything you learn and feel,  and everything you ever will learn and feel,  will only happen in the present moment.

Because it's always right now.  There isn't any other time.

Breathe deeply into your heart space.

Feel into the rich, deep, and infinite space of your heart.

Feel your quietness, your presence in this present moment.

This is where you access the infinite wisdom  of your higher self and your own direct connection  to Source.

This is where you discover the presence of unconditional love  and the peace that is beyond all understanding.

In this present moment, breathe into  the fathomless stillness of your being.

Feel the presence of your own loving self.

Feel the presence of peace.

It is here, in this very moment, that you reconnect  to your higher consciousness, your profound wisdom,  your radiant love,  your infinite peace,  your bubbling joy,  and your immeasurable beauty.

Take another deeper breath and let yourself  relax, soften, and release a little more.

We all get distracted, fascinated,  and feel compelled to fulfill our responsibilities.

Yet the mystery is real.  And the truth reveals that you will be better  at all you need and want to do  when you anchor yourself in this present moment.

It's always your choice  where you place your focus, what you focus on,  and from where, within you, you meet the world.

And remember that pausing for a few deep breaths  can bring you into the infinite presence of your own heart.

A place to stop and rest, and feel.  A place of greater perspective.  A place where you can trust yourself.

This ever-present moment of infinite potential.

It really is always right now.

Enter Into Quietness

How powerful it is to be quiet.

How powerful we are in our quietness.

Just being quiet, resting, relaxing, and consciously, quietly breathing.

Listen to the sounds around you, as you feel for the quietness within you.

Being curious,

Being receptive,

And being gentle with yourself.

Notice, what are you receiving?

Feel a bit deeper into the Quietness

of needing to know or understand anything.

Feel your body, quietly resting,

How pure and powerful?

Feel how your body responds to resting in this nectar of quietness.

Notice your energy field surrounding you and protecting you, as you fill it with quietness, and claim it and seal it, it’s your own space. Let it be a buffer to the crazy energies of the world.

Notice how your soul, your inner being, feels in this quietness.

And feel into your heart center. Feel your heart being loved by this quietness.

The mysterious power of quietness.

What a treasure.

Quietness is the medium through which more love flows in.

Getting There ~ Being Here We’ve all heard a lot about ascension and conscious evolution.

Where are we going? What is ascension? What is conscious evolution? What is consciousness?

Hmm … it’s good to keep wondering and discovering what’s true for you.

We’ve all been taught to think about everything and to try to figure it all out from a mental, intellectual perspective. We want to understand everything we possibly can. And all that learning, intellectualizing and understanding has gotten us to where we are, which is different for everyone.

Because we are all in the center of our own world and universe. No one else’s life is exactly like yours. You are the central character in your universe.

I – You – We see everything through our own unique personal experiences, our own beliefs and perspectives, our own education, conditioning, assumptions and understanding. That’s how we each experience our world.

We’ve also been trained to usually put someone or something else in the center of our lives and even of ourselves – maybe religious teachings, spiritual teachings, political ideologies, all kinds of beliefs and rules of behavior –  as we try so hard to figure out who we truly are and what’s the meaning of our lives and how can we get it right.

Our natural inner call to give, love, care, and be of service has often been hijacked and distorted to exclude ourselves, and to believe we need to earn love, approval, recognition, and even our very right to exist from an external source of authority.

We live in a paradigm reality where we mostly believe that what we need is outside of us.

What a fascinating challenge! What a captivating and exquisite challenge for the sovereign Eternal Source Energy Beings that we truly are. 

Let us meet these insights with compassion and forgiveness for ourselves and for others.

Let’s move forward with no blame.

As Native American grandmother Agnes Pilgrim said, “We’re all in this leaky canoe together.” 

Right now is a good time to pause, to take a break from all that we have carefully and painstakingly accumulated in our voluminous mental filing cabinets.

Take in a deep breath and expand your chest,  and relax as you exhale.

Take a few deep focused breaths. Expand your chest as you breathe in and relax your shoulders as you breathe out. Three times.

Take a moment to reset and settle into this present moment.

Feel yourself in the center of your being, and breathe into the center of you.

And from this place, notice that between what’s to the left of you and what’s to the right of you, there’s a central point within you. Take a moment to feel the place where left and right meet within you.

Feel into that neutral central point.

And between what’s in front of you and what’s behind you, there’s a central place where they meet within you.

Notice what this feels like.  And whatever it feels like, it’s all okay.

Feeling here into the center of you, keep breathing, feel your body, and feel yourself grounded to Mother Earth as you feel yourself in the very center of your being.

Between the past and the future, there’s a neutral point within us.

Feel into the central neutral space within you between the past and the future, here, right now.

Feel into right now.

Keep noticing your breath. Breathing is always right now.

Feel your body. Feeling your body is always right now.

Staying present means to keep your focus here. Right now is always here.

It’s only our thoughts, our attention, and our focus that travel all over the place.

Feel your body. Breathe into the center of your being.

And it’s here within us, within you, that we find our consciousness, our center, our self.

It’s here where we consciously experience ourselves and the love that we are.

And it is our consciousness that is evolving. Your conscious awareness of yourself. Ascension begins and continues, as an inner journey.

An ever deepening journey into the awareness and experience of your own infinite inner being, in the embrace of your human experience and embodiment.

Ascension evolves through a feeling journey.  Allowing yourself to feel all your emotions and experiences with curiosity and kindness to yourself.

Feel into yourself, you, you in the very center. Feel your awareness. Engage your breath. Feel your body and your connection to Mother Earth.

Gather your focus into the undesignated openness of right now. 

And let yourself soften into the richness of new feelings and new sensations in all parts of your embodied human being.

Trust yourself. Let your mind serve you, not lead you.

Let your soul, your heart, and your infinite being take the lead.

And where are we going?

What are you truly longing for?

Feel the longing. Feel the power of your longing vibrating in your body, heart, and soul. 

And see what you discover right here, in through the only moment there is, right now.

With patience in your heart, trusting the openness, trusting the love that you are. 

Trusting what reveals in you and through you.

And consciously hosting this patience, this trust in the love that you are, anchored in being present.

Feel yourself embodied, grounded, powerful, and alive.

Notice your breath moving in and out, like waves upon the shore, back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, taking you deeper and deeper into your beautiful, fathomless self.

Just being here.

Notice your breathing and feel your body.

Take a deeper breath and let it go.

Notice what feelings are present. And know that whatever you’re feeling, it’s okay.

You can feel it all with curiosity and kindness for yourself.

And whatever is there, it’s all okay, because you’re okay.

You are, deep inside, truly okay.

Just keep breathing, and let it all be just as it is.

We’ll practice some focused breathing now, so you can discover and experience your reservoir of resilience.

Make sure your breathing is always comfortable for you.

Breathe into your chest and feel your chest expand, and as you exhale, let your shoulders relax.

Breathe in again, expanding your chest, then breathe out slowly, and feel yourself relax.

Breathe in once more and expand your heart.

Slowly exhale and say, “Relax,” to yourself.

Feel what’s happening in your body.

Be gentle with yourself, and take a few more breaths.

Breathe into your heart space, expanding your chest, and as you exhale, relax.

Inhale, expand your chest.

Exhale, relax.

Inhale, expand your chest

Exhale, relax.

Feel your body, and feel your connection to Mother Earth through the force of gravity.

Feel Mother Earth holding you.

Let’s continue to experience the healing power of breathing.

Breathe in and expand your chest. Then slowly breathe out and mentally say,  “Release.”

Breathe in and expand your heart. Then slowly breathe out and mentally say, “Let go.”

Breathe in and open your heart. Then slowly breathe out and mentally say, “Relax.”

Let your breath effortlessly regulate now, however it wants to, however you want to.

Notice how you’re feeling.

When you breathe in and expand your chest, you make more space for yourself.

Feel the peaceful spaciousness within you.

And when you breathe out, you also make more space for yourself.

You are relaxing and letting go, releasing energies no longer needed.

Let them go.

Take another deep breath, and as you exhale, feel the relief of letting go.

But exhaling isn’t only about releasing, it’s also how we infuse energies and frequencies into our bodies.

We absorb energy as we breathe in, and can infuse that energy into our bodies as we exhale.

Breath is filled not only with oxygen, but with life-force energy, and in Sanskrit, the breath and the life-force energy have the same name:

Prana.

Take another deep breath, and slowly exhale into your body, directing the energy into the cells of your body.

Breathe in again, a nice deep breath. Expand your chest and let it fill.

Then slowly exhale into your body.

Feel the life-force energies flowing into your body.

And once more, breathe deeply into your beautiful heart.

Pause.

And slowly exhale while infusing your body with healing life-force energies.

Now just take a comfortable cleansing breath, and let it go.

Notice what you are feeling and experiencing now.

How are you feeling?

Your breath is an ever-present resource of comfort and resilience.

Throughout the day, remember to pause and focus on your breathing, and shift into focused breathing anytime you like.

The basic focus breathing practice is simple and easy.

You mentally say to yourself, “Breathe in and expand your chest,” and then, “Breathe out and relax.”

Three times in a row.

You can practice this now.

Mentally say to yourself, “Breathe in and expand your chest,” and then mentally say, “Breathe out and relax.”

Take three breaths, mentally guiding yourself now.

You will release what’s no longer needed, and infuse your body with fresh life-force energy, and the more you practice this, when nothing too intense is going on, the more you replenish your reservoir of resilience for moments when things heat up.

Of course, you can do any kind of conscious breathing that feels good to you.

This is just one option.

And keep some portion of your awareness on your breathing as I keep talking.

Focused breathing is very helpful to interrupt negative thinking, overthinking, or racing thoughts, because you immediately redirect your thoughts to focus on something else – your breathing.

Focused breathing helps when you feel exhausted, as you release and relax, and then infuse your body with vital life-force energy.

And it will help you return to calmness, no matter how intense things get.

You can apply focused breathing to support you through whatever is happening.

You have a reservoir of powerful and comforting resilience within you, that fills and replenishes through focused breathing, and with each conscious breath, you make more space for yourself.

Your breath can, and will, heal you in miraculous and beautiful ways.

It just takes focus and application.

And is always available, every moment of every day.

Be gentle with yourself.

Be kind and loving with yourself.

Let’s activate these qualities right now by breathing into them.

Breathe in gentleness.

Feel it enter your heart.

And as you exhale, feel gentleness flow all through your body.

Breathe in kindness, and open your heart to receive it.

And as you exhale, feel the vibrations of kindness flowing through you.

Breathe in love,  and fill your heart to overflowing.

And as you slowly exhale,  feel that love take you all the way home to yourself.

And feel how abundant your reservoir of resilience is now!

Healing With Gentleness Make yourself comfortable sitting or lying down.

Notice your current experience and whatever you are feeling and whatever you’re feeling, including any resistance, it’s all okay.

Just let it be as it is.

Take a few slower breaths. Breathe into your heart space, feel your body.

And with your awareness, you can scan your body and mentally say to yourself in a gentle inner voice, Relax.

Feel your whole body breathing and relaxing.

Let each breath take you into a deeper place of quietness and inner peace.

Notice how you feel if you make each breath a little longer and a little slower. Feel how that can bring more calmness, more peace, and more presence.

Make sure your breathing is comfortable for you and comforting.

And let your breath take you into a place of deep quietness within you.

Feel into the silent background of everything.

Into this spaciousness, you can mentally say gentleness and let the word gentleness drop into your field of being.

Breathe gentleness into your heart. Feel the gentleness like drops of water on the surface of a lake, creating ripples through your inner being.

Ripples of gentleness.

Keep breathing into your heart space and feel for the vibrations of gentleness, however this shows up for you.

And feel how your breathing interacts with the gentleness within you.

Really allow the comforting feelings of gentleness to embrace you.

Let your heart and your soul heal with the vibrations of gentleness. Feel the healing in all the layers of your being.

And just rest here.

Be aware of your breathing, feel your body. Be curious how deeply you can feel the healing power of gentleness within you.

Each and every breath is a new opportunity to feel the gifts of gentleness within you.

So remember, throughout the day, to be aware of what you are feeling and that whatever you’re feeling, it’s okay.

You can remember to breathe into your heart space, to feel your body, to relax into the present moment, and to feel the vibrations of gentleness already within you reverberating in your being.

Be patient with yourself. Be kind and loving with yourself, and be gentle with yourself.

This gentleness is a beautiful medicine you are inviting into your human embodiment from your own eternal being of infinite peace, unconditional love and the radiant light of who you truly are.

Healing yourself, healing others, and healing the world with gentleness.

Gateway To Your Higher Self There is so much strength, resource, and wisdom in the still, peaceful center of your being.

You don’t need to know, understand, remember, or believe anything.

Let it all go.

Take a few deeper breaths.

Slow down.

Feel your body.

Feel for the quietness within you, no matter what else is going on.

Feel for the ubiquitous, all-pervasive, silent background of this world.

Keep letting go, emptying your mind.

Feel into your spaciousness. Feel into the center of this moment. Feel into the center of your heart.

Stay here, breathe into here.

Feel into the very core of your own self,  where there is the central feeling of you.

This still, peaceful center is a portal, a gateway to the higher dimensional realms of your own being.

Vast, unconditional peace.  Pure, unconditional love.

Truth and wisdom. Your truth and your wisdom.

Feel the feelings and vibrations of this portal within you, the central feeling of you.

Feel into the still, quiet, peaceful, and vast field of your being.

Only you know how it feels for you.

How are you experiencing the feeling and resonance of your higher dimensional self right now?

Is there a humming sound?

Is there sparkling light?

Are there beautiful colors?

Just keep noticing whatever is happening or not happening.

It’s all okay.

Pay attention to what you are feeling as you feel into the central feeling of you.

Here is where you discover your infinite self.

Here, in the still, quiet, peaceful, and vast field of your being.

You always have access to this place, this space, this gateway, because it is within you.

It is of you. It is yours.

At any moment, you can remind yourself to pause.

Take a few deeper breaths.

Slow down.

Feel your body, and call in your radiant light.

Stay on pause and feel for the vibrations of stillness and peace within you, as you quietly find and remember yourself, your infinite unknowable self, the core of your being.

Then be curious to see what happens as you realign with your higher dimensional self.

And as you feel for the peace and quietness within you, no matter what else is going on, you will learn that you can trust this space, this peace.

You can trust the wisdom that comes from here.

Connecting With Source We are all Source energy beings.

Source itself being human.

We are fully Source, and fully human.

Take a deep breath Feel your body Let yourself relax and enter more fully into this present moment.

You are a being of Pure Love and Light and nothing can change that no matter what you feel or what you think, or what you have done or not done.

Take another deep, relaxing breath And keep feeling your body.

Listen to the sounds around you and enter the quietness within you.

Feel into your heart center And notice whatever you are feeling with curiosity, kindness, and compassion for yourself.

Keep feeling your body, aware of your breathing, and feeling your heart center.

And feel for the presence of peace no matter what other feelings may be there, too.

Feel your connection to someone you love. And feel for the presence of love in your heart.

Feeling love is feeling your source connection. Feel a little more fully into the love in your heart.

Feel your own inner connection to the source of your own being.

Reacquaint yourself with your own innocence, your own inner knowing, your own inner quietness.

Right here, right now. Always here.

You are already that, which you might have been told, and believed, that you must become, find, deserve, wait for, sacrifice for, and attain and such.

You are an eternal being of Pure Love and Light, and nothing can ever change that.

Your access to your source connection and your infinite being is uniquely yours and always has been, and is always here.

Just as a plant, a flower, or a tree receives only through its own roots that reach into the Earth, each of us have our own unique and individual connection to Source within us.

Feel for your own source connection through which pure, unconditional love flows into the whole of you.

Your body is designed to vibrate at the frequency of Pure Love.

Feel the energetic aliveness of your body. And feel what is happening in your heart.

Nothing to wait for, nothing to attain. The truth of who you are is found within you, through feeling.

Your access to source is always flowing even when you feel painful, distressing feelings.

So whatever you are feeling it’s all always okay.

When you allow yourself to feel an uncomfortable or painful feeling while also tapping into your source connection at the same time, you will discover so much beauty, power, and depth within yourself.

Tapping into your source connection like breathing is always happening, but you can consciously deepen it.

Be courageous and willing to feel all your emotions, and be curious.

It’s well worth the journey.

And you are always being held.

Remember that you can always more consciously feel your source connection and embody your own infinite being of peace, of light, and of pure love.

The Temple Of Your Light Make yourself comfortable

Take a few deep breaths.

And feel your body.

Bring curiosity and kindness to yourself, and remind yourself, whatever you are feeling is ok.

Keep taking nice long slow relaxing breaths, as you feel your body.

Have the palms of your hands open upwards.

Feel into the palm of your right hand, imagine a ball of light there.

And notice how that feels.

Feel into the palm of your left hand, imagine another ball of light there.

And notice how that feels.

Be aware of the soles of your feet, and imagine a ball of light shining on the sole of each of your feet.

Notice how your breathing interacts with the orbs of light on the palms your hands and the soles of your feet.

Imagine another beautiful orb of light gently resting on the crown of your head.

These orbs of light bring messages of peace and love to you, in the form of feelings, feelings of peace and feelings of love, cascading into you.

Feel the peace and love filling in your body.

Merge with the peace and the love.

Keep noticing your breathing as the light from the orbs

expands and flows into you, and fills your body, merging with the spark of life in every cell.

See how the light illuminates your energy centers, often called chakras, notice how they brighten

with your awareness and attention.

The beautiful light on the crown of your head.

The radiant light in your third eye, in the very center of your brain.

The bright, glowing light in the center of your throat.

The shimmering light in your heart.

The vibrant light centered in your belly, in your solar plexus.

The powerful light in the lower core of your torso, in the center of your abdomen.

And the energizing light brightly glowing at the base of your spine. See your whole body illuminated, Are there any colors?

Do you feel the light nourishing and restoring your vital energy body?

Your power to feel is activating and growing stronger.

Keep exploring for yourself more ways to fill with light and merge with the infinite love and peace of your own being. You have your own unique signature, your own song.

Feel the beauty of your own song.

Your light is radiating into a glowing cocoon all around you, your own radiant aura, holding you.

Let it become your temple, and your shield.

Throughout your day, remember :

You can feel your body, and brighten your light with each and every breath, keeping your body, your energy field and your aura filled and actively glowing with light.

And know this as the essence of yourself:

Pure, Infinite Light, Peace and Love.

Mother Earth and the Equinox

Everywhere on this beautiful planet ~ our Mother Earth ~ we all experience the same balance of day and night on the equinox.

The equinox is the only time this happens, and it only happens twice a year.

For a few days around the equinox, we will all experience this equal balance of daylight and nighttime as one global humanity.

And it’s a time to feel more deeply into our connection with Mother Earth.

For each one of us, our very life depends on Mother Earth.

The food we eat, the water we drink, the air we breathe, what we build our homes with, what we make our clothes out of, and the fire we use in countless ways to power our lives.

Each and every one of us was born naked, without anything at all.

Take some time to honor Mother Earth today.

Consider for a moment: Where does your food really come from? Where does the water you drink really come from?

Can you live without breathing air?

Right now is an opportunity to humbly give thanks for what truly supports us in being alive: the earth we walk and live upon.

Mother Earth, we walk upon you, surrounded by your beauty and your majesty.

All the food we eat grows from your soil. It is your waters that flow and bring life to our bodies and fertilize the seeds that grow in your soil.

Your overflowing abundance feeds every creature that lives here on this planet.

We are blessed by your beauty. We are soothed in your forests. We are nourished by your abundance. We bathe in your water. We breathe the air that flows in your bright blue skies and through the dark starry nights.

Flowing over your magnificent oceans, through the deserts of sparkling sand, over towering mountains, and through valleys and meadows, filled sometimes with flowers and sometimes with snow.

This air, this wind, this breeze.

How honored we are to breathe this glorious life-giving air flowing through your skies.

And how stunning and glorious you are in your intimate dance with the sun.

How magnificent to behold the way sunlight sparkles upon you, upon your waters, on snow and on ice, and on your bright green leaves.

How can there be so many glorious shades of green?

How can water take so many different wondrous forms?

And where does your gift of fire come from? Fire bursts forth out of nothing. It has no substance.

And it is incredibly, intensely powerful.

Mother Earth, how can you turn so precisely, so constantly, so evenly, year after year, for millions of years, as you so gently offer all parts of your surface to be bathed and blessed in the glorious light of the sun.

Beloved Mother Earth, forgive us for taking you for granted. Forgive us for being so distracted, misguided, and elsewhere-obsessed.

Forgive us for abusing you, misusing you, and destroying so much of you.

It is our loss.

Mother Earth, I am so grateful to have the opportunity to honor you, most beautiful Mother.

Your beauty fills my heart to overflowing. Your soil grounds my body. Your air fills me with peace and enhances my life as I breathe.

Your water brings life and beauty and happiness to me in each and every part of my body, my heart, and the whole of my being in countless, infinite ways.

Your fire is a miracle manifesting out of emptiness. What would our lives be without fire?

As I sit quietly with you, Mother Earth, I feel you in my body. I feel you in every way I am capable of feeling, in the whole of my being.

And as I feel the presence of you, I sit in wonder and awe.

Have you also given me this capacity to feel?

I ask and I pray, and I envision for all of us:

May we walk upon this glorious planet, who we have named Mother Earth, with love, honor, and respect.

May we each find within us the recognition and acknowledgement of all that we have received and continue to receive from our very own Mother Earth.

May we graciously receive her abundant blessings with respect, appreciation, and humility.

And may we consciously care for her well-being.

The well-being of our beloved Mother Earth.

Take some time to honor Mother Earth today.

With love and gratitude for our most beautiful Mother Earth.

Compassion and Deep Healing Let yourself enter into a quiet space within you.

Take a few deep breaths and relax.

Listen to the beautiful music and feel your body.

Breathe yourself into a gentle, peaceful state of being.

Peace is always here.

We are empathic, sensitive, and caring human beings. We feel a lot and we care so much.

Feel how much you care about this beautiful earth, all of nature, all the animals, all living beings, and especially some people who are very important to you.

Sometimes we also feel the pain of others as we empathize and care so much.

Keep breathing and feel into your heart space.

Open into this present moment of being with all the love and care you are feeling.

Through our love, compassion, and sensitivity, we may have taken on and accumulated some distorted frequencies in our bodies through all the pain we have witnessed, felt, and experienced throughout our lives.

Some of those frequencies may still be lodged in your energy field and even stuck in your body.

Keep taking long, slow, comforting breaths, and feeling your body,  with kindness and curiosity.

Our bodies are living complex miracles. Our bodies are vehicles of consciousness, made of consciousness.

We can begin to heal more deeply and clear our field by having more love and compassion for ourselves.

This is deep healing we are calling for now.

Take a few focused breaths. Breathe in and expand your chest. Breathe out and relax your shoulders. Three times.

Bring curiosity to your current experience, to whatever you are feeling right now.

Bring in courage and trust and compassion for yourself.

Opening your heart to all your feelings can be daunting and overwhelming.

But you are safe here.

You are being held by your own higher self, your own infinite being of love.

And every feeling is a blessing. Every feeling takes us deeper into the truth of who we are.

Compassionately acknowledge to yourself all that you are feeling.

From the vastness of your eternal being to the whole range of emotions showing up,  and whatever is happening in your body.

Let yourself feel deeply into the crevices of any uncomfortable feelings and emotions that might be around.

Shine your light on them. Name them to yourself.

Courageously leave aside any narratives, any explanations.

Feel your feelings as frequencies, energies, sensations.

Notice any imagery, colors, shapes.

Keep breathing into your heart space.

Expand your awareness to include more of your inner peace.

What do you feel in your body?

Keep breathing into your heart space and comforting yourself with each exhalation.

Allowing yourself to feel everything is deep healing, deep transformation.

What is happening now?

Notice if things change and release or perhaps transform.

And if you feel like crying, let yourself cry. Crying is deep healing.

Bring the same level of compassion to yourself that you have brought to every suffering creature,  that you have felt for every violation towards the earth.

Animals and humans.

And all you’ve ever witnessed, experienced, or heard about. No blame. Just compassion. No sides here in your infinite being.

Just compassion.

Because everyone is hurting. And only hurt people hurt others.

You no longer need to carry that in your body or in your heart.

You can release it and still care.

Reach deep into your heart space where you find kindness, care, compassion, forgiveness, and unconditional love, and offer these to yourself.

You have learned from everything you have experienced and felt, and you are setting yourself free.

You are setting everyone free.

Step out of the past and into your heart.

No need to carry any stories. No need to justify anything or blame anyone because that only holds us back.

Let go of everything, including all your opinions, and set yourself free.

And let yourself evolve in leaps and bounds.

We are living into being a new reality by feeling.

By feeling everything.

All of your emotional ripples are part of your evolution. Those we call positive and those we call negative.

And as you bring curiosity, care, kindness, forgiveness, and compassion to yourself, ripples of high frequencies move through you, into the world around you, and into the collective consciousness of this reality.

It’s time to humbly identify with the truth of who you really are.

Reclaim your eternal being of radiant light, infinite peace, and unconditional love.

Rest in the core of your being with infinite compassion for yourself and everyone and everything else.

Let yourself be grounded in peace and feel the truth of who you are.
