Be the Peace You Seek

From: http://www.gogratitude.com/g-bridge-process.html  By Stacey Robyn

As I woke up this morning, I pulled myself from a deep immersion in a feeling of Grey. During the night I dreamed of children, torn and tattered by the effects of war, and silently crying for a ray of light - for a beam to chase away the darkness and lift them into hope.

As I pondered this dream experience, I realized there is only one war - the war that wages within ourselves, a battle between heart and mind to direct our physical reality. Once we surrender to NOW, using Gratitude to guide us to a state of Love, then Peace reigns within the Self and will, by nature, spill into our waking reality - both near and far.

At the heart of war I see resistance, in whatever form this may appear. It is our highest nature signaling to us that our thoughts, beliefs, values, attitudes, words, goals and/or actions are OUT OF ALIGNMENT with our pure state of Being.

Let us then use this resistance - this tugging, gnawing, twisting, burning sensation within - to ignite a process that will quickly return us to center, to our higher path.

Remembering war begins within, let us establish peace between the mind and heart by imagining a bridge. This bridge spans the distance between the mind and heart and opens a path for reconciling the being-doing-having aspects of Life.

Here is an amazingly simple, powerfully effective process that, when applied with intent, will create a state of Peace, Grace, and Openness within every moment. This Process is based on Dr. Emoto's formula of two parts Gratitude and one part Love and is a powerful tool I personally use to gracefully move through moments of growth, change or choice.

Ready?

Ok, here goes:

Imagine resistance is signaling a course correction. Now: 

1. Give Thanks
2. Ask Love
3. Go Gratitude

Perhaps this sounds too simple?

This is the beauty of the process, and why it is so easy to use on a daily basis. Let's quickly explore the finer points of this process.

Step one: Give Thanks
By acknowledging the moment is a gift, The Present, and is designed by YOU as an opportunity to learn, release, and re-center, you are opening an opportunity to return to the heart of the matter.

A short mantra may be: 'I AM thankful for NOW.'

Step Two: Ask Love
Go to your heart, allowing each and every cell within your body to radiate Love while simultaneously asking 'What is my message? What is the gift Now brings to me? What habit/belief/fear am I ready to release gaining insight, wisdom, and direction?

A short mantra may be: 'I AM Love's Messenger.'

Step Three: Go Gratitude
As you are now aware of patterns creating resistance in your life, you are prepared to tap into Gratitude as a guide for your next step, using the wisdom Love has given you as a source to draw from. Allow yourself to trust what your heart has shared and go forward in Gratitude.

A short mantra may be: 'I AM waking Gratitude.'


Now, you may be wondering 'How does this work?'

Quite simply, you are building a bridge between your Heart-Mind . . . one that will continue to grow in strength, speed, and span as you make the journey between choice and effect, an event simply called NOW.

As you use this technique it will quickly become a habit, then a Mastered Skill, and eventually a State of Being. By quickening your ability to listen, learn, and receive, you stand before all doors of possibility, as a living, breathing Master of Love and Gratitude.

This three step process will quickly flow into a singular state of being, that of Peace. Beyond the physical bodily signals of resistance, there are other ways to roll through this process within the body. Let nature be your guide, as well as serendipitous events or even a simple Gratitude sticky note perfectly placed to bring you to NOW.

As today rolls on you may find yourself confronted with the reality of war, whether it be across our lands, thundering in our homes or present in our hearts. Let us give thanks to know there is Peace - and that Peace begins with ME.

As you begin to peacefully translate your heart's thoughts, wisdom and intuition, you will be keenly aware of the effects on your reality and of those around you. You draw inspiration from source and serve as an earthly messenger who willingly strives to be excellent in all communications of the heart, spirit, soul, mind and body.

Within each of us is an innocent child, one who remembers every answer, who must forget what time has erased and let Love be the guide. Just for today - let us be the Peace we seek, by bridging heart to mind through Love and Gratitude.

Light Body Yoga Workshop: TUNING IN

TUNING IN is the process by which you consciously connect to your Higher Self and align with the  abundance of  Wisdom, Love & Creative Power that is available to you in each unfolding NOW moment. When you "tune in" you recognize that you are a purely creative being, and that every thought, word and action that you think, speak and do, have a rippling affect throughout time and space.

Wow- that is quite a lot of power available to you. Yes- it is. That is why learning how to TUNE  IN is so important to living a conscious life. When you tune in, you are acting as a sovereign being, making decisions that are aligned with your Highest Purpose. When you are tuned in, you are always in your Destiny. When you are tuned in, you can effectively direct your Love and Creative Power in a way that will draw in and awaken higher levels of consciousness and light in your body on all levels; physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.

There are many practices that will help you tune in, but the most powerful is simply making a conscious intention to do so. When you make the conscious intention to TUNE IN to your SOUL, you will always be given access to a Light that will shine on all your thoughts, words and actions. This light is the Light of Consciousness and it will guide you to live an extremely PRESENT and AWAKE life. It will direct all the events of your life, keeping you on your Path and showing you your most brilliant and True Identity in each moment.

Simply close your eyes and make the conscious intention to connect to your Inner Guidance/Soul, and focus your attention on one inhale and one exhale. As you open your eyes, know that you are guided and trust in this knowing.

Tuning In will connect you to your own Inner Teacher who will always show you the way of your Soul.

Imbolc

"In the Northern Hemisphere, Imbolc symbolizes the season when Mother Earth cleanses the debris that is cluttering her topsoil. Glaciers begin to melt, rivers swell and rains wash away that which is no longer useful. She prepares herself to embrace this year's new growth through elemental cleansing. Do you feel embraced by your life and your tribe? How will you embrace your community to encourage and celebrate new growth?"  ~ Ruth E. Hummingbird

As Mother Earth is preparing her season of cleansing, how can we too join in the effort. I cannot stop thinking about the article in the New York Times this past Sunday morning with a less than subtle warning from Dr. James Hansen of NASA about the recent findings on Global Warming: click on the multimedia video when you get there

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/01/29/science/earth/29climate.html?_r=1&th&emc=th&oref=slogin 

On this day which symbolizes cleansing, lets make a point to wake up and do whatever we can to take even the first small steps towards cleaning up the mess we have made on our planet over the past decades. It won't go unnoticed by the Earth. And it will lift the energy and consciousness in our own lives as we become part of the solution.

In Love & Group Consciousness,

Shannon
