Action Thursday - Q & A to Wisdom to Unlock the Door to your Life

Here are a few questions from the posts this week. Feel free to ask any questions you have or leave your comment on them down below.

Q. What does it mean to come up higher to hear what the Spirit has to offer?

A. To come up higher means to go to higher level of inspiration, a high level of living. The physical plane is the lower level. We move to a higher level of living when we connect on the spiritual level with God.

To hear what the Spirit has to offer means to be open to the wisdom of the Spirit, to release all of your preconceived ideas and ways of doing things to be able to receive fresh creative ideas from the Mind of the Spirit.

Q. How do you release the old way of thinking when this is all you know and this way of thinking has become safe haven to living your life?

A. A willing heart is the first step to making progress. It is the seed which the Spirit can use to help you create the change and as a result of this change doors begin to unlock in your life. Consciously release the old way of thinking.

Q. What does it mean to get into the flow of the stream and move with the wind of the Spirit?

A. When you work in harmony with the Spirit you are moving with the flow of the stream and moving with the wind of the Spirit, much like going with the tide and not against it. It is more difficult to flow upstream than it is to go down stream.

How do you identify this harmony with the Spirit? When you are feeling joy and peace in what you do, you know that you are flowing with the Spirit and you are moving in harmony. When you find that you are full of frustration and anxiety you are in disharmony, you're struggling and the results are unproductive.

Q. What do I do when I sit in the silence? This is all new for me.

A. Find a place where you will not be disturbed. If at all possible let it be the same place each day.
Get into a comfortable position and release all tension - relax.
Turn your eyes and ears inward and look within to your inner spirit and listen within as well. You are entering into the inner sanctuary of the spirit where you connect with the Universal Spirit, with God. This is the place where you experience your oneness with God, where you become conscious of that oneness.
Allow yourself to feel the Spirit and allow the love, the joy and peace to fill your inner spirit.
Draw life and energy from your Eternal Source.
Draw wisdom from your Eternal Source. Let this be your daily practice.

Enriching your life - Part 3

Tending the garden of the heart - Day 45

If you've ever walked through the woods, you may recall experiencing a sense of peace among the trees. You've felt the cool gentle breeze as it brushed across your face and witnessed the swaying of the trees as the wind blew gracefully through the leaves.

Your senses were so in tuned, every sound enhanced; the chirping of the birds, the rustling of the leaves, the cracking of a branch. This peaceful atmosphere drew your awareness and allowed you to become one with it.

As you took a deep breath, the freshness of the air filled your lungs and it was as if you're breathing in the peacefulness of the woods as your body relaxed under the spell of its tranquility.

Take the time each day to mentally take you to that place and experience of total peace. Be totally aware of the peace that lies within your being and become one with it. Become so in tuned to inner wisdom as you listen deeply. Relive this experience often until it becomes a way of life. Bask in the feelings of peace and let it overflow your life enriching you through and through.

Mind, Body, Soul - Part 5

Getting my body back - Day 57

How do the soul, mind and body become one with the Spirit?

1) First of all, you set your intentions on being one. Decide that you are one with the Spirit. Know that you are one. Make a mental decision that you are one with the Spirit.

2) Become in tuned to the inner voice. In order to become acquainted with and recognize the inner wisdom, you must spend time listening. Listen in the silence, in quiet meditation, letting your mind become quiet as you turn your ear inwardly.

3) Train yourself to listen. Listen as you go about your daily business.

4) Invite and allow the Spirit to be involved in your daily life. Speak with the Spirit and allow the Spirit to speak back to you in whatever way the Spirit chooses; whether in the still small voice, an idea or through others. The Spirit is not confined to prayer time in your bedroom or on Sunday at church. The Spirit is available at all times, anytime, anywhere.

When I worked as an insurance claims assistant/adjuster, time constraints and organization was essential for keeping up with the changing demands of my job. Sometimes my co-worker would walk into my office and ask, "Talking to yourself?" and I would answer, "Yes," and I'd also add, "I'm talking to my files."

As you can imagine, she'd look at me really strange. That's okay; I could be 'weird' that way. But I'd rather be 'weird' that way and get the answers that I'm looking for, because while I'm supposedly 'talking to my files', I'm listening inwardly to the direction I'm receiving to effectively carry out my job.

I did my job from the inside out. I dealt with clients from the inside out. I felt their need and worked with them to help them get what they needed. So if being a little bit 'weird' caused me to be compassionate toward others, then, count me in.

If I got frustrated during the day, I'd stop, get up, perhaps go to the bathroom and come back with a fresh perspective on things. That's being one with the Spirit. That's working with the Spirit. Always asking how do I do this, help me with that, raise me above this feeling.

It doesn't matter the issue; small, medium, large or super-sized. It's a part of my daily life with my children and my husband. It's what makes me who I am, in my uniqueness, and it is what makes you, you in your uniqueness as you yield and become one. You don't lose who you are. You enhance and free you to truly be and experience you.

Fuelling words: I receive wisdom from the Spirit, through my soul, felt in my inner feelings, inspired in my mind, expressed in my body and displayed in my outer world.

Enjoy the nice weather. Go outside for a walk. Workout outdoors. Workout on an exercise ball.
