Spiritual Canvas

sunray

I captured the image above a few weeks ago while exploring beautiful Oregon. I was mesmerized at the magnificence by the light creating sunrays through the clouds. “God sure has an amazing hand in our Universe,” I thought to myself while soaking in the euphoria. And just when I thought this moment couldn’t get any better another natural marvel surprised me shortly after. An image of a rainbow in its full glory presented itself right before my eyes (image below). I pulled the car over to re-soak another exhilarating moment. Nature sure has a way of driving life’s stress and pressure out of the body, mind and soul.

I invite you to take a moment out of your busy life and connect with some aspect of nature. Go for a walk, take a drive or simply slow down once in awhile and look out your window. Immerse yourself in grace. Gift yourself some moments in nature and connect with your soul through observing God’s beautiful canvas.

Namaste Sweet Angels

Crossings in Life…

Posted by Margi on Mar 28, 2012

There are certain times and moments in our lives that come to pass when we must cross a bridge to get to the other side of an experience, an issue, a situation or simply another aspect of our life. These moments are not intended to create chaos or misdirection, on the contrary, the intention and good will is to help our soul see things from a diverse perspective, a new point of view. Life crossings are intended to help us enrich our growth, to allow our soul to mature and to help us evolve into sacred spiritual enlightenment.

As we come upon bridges that we must cross in life the new paradigm allows us to view and feel life in a way that is different from how and what we usually view and feel. Life is about changes; it’s about new experiences. It’s about moving to a new and deeper level of spirit so that the soul can radiate in wisdom. After all, the soul’s journey is about reaching for the stars and arriving at its brightest spark.

What would it be like in life if things always stayed the same? If the colors that shine in a season never changed? How would we feel if the soul never experienced the true significance of joy? The shifts and changes that occur in life create and allow the heart to open to a new and glorious endeavor. By crossing bridges in life it leads us to fresh and invigorating means of breathing. It’s a grand gift from the universe.

Take a moment and ask yourself what issue, situation, or simply aspect of your life needs a bridge to be crossed? What in your soul wishes a different point of view? How can you shift certain energies to bring a greater sense of peace, joy and harmony in your world? This year is about moving from the old and bringing in the new. We’re 3 months into the year and already we feel the shifts upon us. The initial steps across the bridge are being made.

Give yourself permission to move through your voyage in life by releasing, surrendering and crossing the bridges to a new light, a new understanding, a new look at situations or experiences in your life that deserve a greater perspective. Begin a new passage of your soul today. Review, refresh, and rejuvenate. We’re discovering a rebirthing taking affect. Join the metamorphosis. You are crossing the bridge and becoming your own butterfly ~ fly.

Living each day as New Year’s Day…

Posted by Margi on Jan 11, 2012

Morgine Jurdan’s beautiful article, enjoy!

We begin a New Year as we have done for millennium. Long ago, we marked the passage of time with rituals and ceremony giving Gratitude for all our blessings in the past year and stating our Desires for the coming ones.

As time moved on and lives became more complicated, we created rituals filled with Resolutions and Goals, Intentions and Wants, Releasing and Letting Go.  There are lists to make, journals to write in, calendars and schedules to fill out and keep track of. There will be time later for celebrating one’s success or failure.

I am going to create a New Tradition.  My desire is to Live each Moment of every day with more Conscious Awareness.  To keep my mind out of the past and the future, and instead focused on the here and now with whatever I am doing.  Fully tasting my food, slowly chewing and savoring the delicious chocolate melting on my tongue, mint flavors opening my nostrils as I moan with delight!  Gently stroking my lover’s skin with just the right touch so he shudders with delight.  Melting as I behold a beautiful sunset, rainbow ribbons flowing across the sky as my body softens and dissolves into my chair and we become one. Hearing the birds cheerfully singing the day awake as they weave a smile across my face.  Hugging my child fully, grateful here and now for her joy filled embrace.  

Living in a state of Awe and Wonder at exactly how all the billions of things going on in my own body continue to dance along without needing my direction to breathe, beat my heart, digest my food, see, hear, feel, and so much more!  How does a tiny, tiny seed become a hundred year old gigantic redwood?  How can an ant carry more per its size than me? How does  a caterpillar become soup and then emerge a butterfly? So many millions of incredible, mysterious wonders in nature we have yet to discover or understand! Breathtaking beauty abounds all over the planet!

I am choosing to let go and allow my Inner Wisdom, my connection to Source, to our Divine Oneness, to Guide my days.  I then know the perfect actions to take every day to move me forward along my path, from one magical moment into the next, always changing and transforming me and the moment, others, and life itself with my own unique and personal touch!  In loving all, resisting nothing, embracing the now, balance and harmony will be created by me and for me.  Soon new habits will be formed and my Being and Doing will become as natural as my breathing now is.  

Maybe everything IS perfect just as it is in every Precious Moment when seen from the perspective of the Divine?  Perhaps I am here to “live life” instead of be lived by the stories, habits and beliefs I have been indoctrinated into for centuries?  Maybe the “unlimited perspective” is all about creating for the joy it brings me and not to achieve a goal or keep a commitment.? If I can learn to truly be present in every moment, the “doing” will arise as naturally as my heart keeps beating and I keep breathing. The world I imagine and live in, where we all are living our dreams, co creating with our love and joy, will become a reality. Not because I worked for years to figure out the “how”. Instead I learned how to BE Me in every moment, and the means to manifest my dreams arose from the inside to be painted outside by my hands upon my own canvas of life, one precious moment, one precious day at a time. 

I feel like I have been living in the soup and am ready to emerge as the butterfly!  To love my life and live my love, giving myself to those things which make my heart sing!  Allowing all of me to emerge more beautiful than I could ever imagine before as the caterpillar!  Stunning, sexy, juicy, sensual, creative, vibrant, thriving, healthy and living on the edge of life, jumping for Joy from one Magical Moment into the next, surrounded by millions of like minded friends!! Yippee!!! Hurray for Today and a Million more Magical Tomorrows!!

Behind the door…

Posted by Margi on Oct 29, 2011

If the dark is in our lives to help us see the light…

then what is there to fear about?

 

Recently I have been thinking about how my inner spirit has become so oddly content regardless of how anxious my experience of the external world is. It’s quite remarkable to become aware of our feelings and state of emotions even when the world seems to be caught up in a gust of fear and darkness. However, we cannot deny that there is something truly special going on. Our souls are on a verge of a long awaited and absolutely amazing rebirth of peace and harmony. Meanwhile the ego has chosen to play its all-important role of fighting to survive with all its might. It is slowly and surely dissolving and inter-melding with love. The dark and light are finding a sense of balance! We are learning to meet our true selves, our truth at all cost!

 

No matter how spooky and difficult our experiences seem our higher self is in a state of timelessness that only knows itself, as the I AM that I AM. It recognizes the truth that all IS, and will be well in ALL ways. It is only our mind that creates and entraps itself in a fierce rage of illusional war, a battle of wits between what it thinks and what we know to be true. But this clash is lessening its strength each moment that we become aware of our truth, I AM that I AM, and all IS well. The balancing of the light and dark are the experience, not the nightmare. Yes, at times it may feel hellish and unyielding but it is only in the midst of our storm that we can recognize our true state of peace – in the center where the eye meets the I AM.

 

I invite you to observe where in your life your spirit brings you a sense of peace, a lightness within that you can carry with you on your day-to-day endeavors of life. A bit or a piece within you that you can recognize when the game of darkness or fear comes knocking at your door – is this a trick or a treat, you might ask? And allow your beacon of love to choose how indeed to handle it.

 

After all, don’t we crave for a little excitement once in a while?

Remember the light…

Our world is encompassing a great rebirth. Many of us are noticing sensational affects taking place all around us, as well as in our personal lives and in the lives of others. Like a roller coaster the world is experiencing its greatest ride, here to teach us to trust the process and live in the joy of it.

When I asked my guides about this great shift, first and foremost, they mentioned that the choices we make in regards to how we handle this change is ours and ours alone. This is the gift of our Creator: to allow us to create. Choices come through as feelings, thoughts, dreams and inspirations, and through self-exploration and engagements with others. This planet is about our experiences of life, and we have many of them. Through my highs and lows, my guides repeatedly remind me to remember to stay in the light, no matter what.

Often, in the face of turmoil, anxieties and energies run on overdrive. But it’s vitally important to stay focused on our lightness. The true meaning of why we are here is to see how well we remember this most significant aspect of our souls. Yes, we may have moments when we forget and get caught up in our upheavals, but that is part of the lesson, of which the purpose to help us “lesson” the illusion of heaviness. We gift ourselves the heaviness through thoughts and feelings to help us see our own light and love and how incredibly creative we are. And our soul’s true beauty radiates through how we react or don’t react to our experiences.

When we tap into our truth, our spirit always shines through bringing lightness to any situation, great or small. We just have to remember to lighten up and trust our inner guidance system to navigate. Start by taking a deep breath…then send light from your heart to the world and allow it to radiate back to you with peace, harmony and a greater sense of knowing that all is well no matter what. All is well, and divinely aligned. When you begin to lose focus, catch yourself and whisper, “All is well.”

Lightness and Love to All!

Angels Among Us

Posted by Margi on Dec 24, 2010

Angels among us1

Tis’ the Season to be Jolly and Blessed!

Gift yourself a moment at this time and graciously reflect on all the blessings that have been bestowed on you by others; family, friends, acquaintances and strangers. You may have had moments when a kind soul helped you without your asking or perhaps by those that you had asked. You may have passed a stranger along your journey that had gifted you a smile, held the door open for you when you needed it, or simply offered you to go first in a grocery line.

This season more than any other throughout the year is the most sacred cue to take a moment and truly tap into your heart to recollect all the angels among you that have paved the way to help make your journey possible.  You may find that you consciously remember some beautiful angels and others you may not, know that it is the intention of love that you send out that counts either way. Light and love radiate the grandest force in the Universe, peace. Love is all you need.

So I invite you gift yourself this present moment in closing your eyes, quieting your mind and sending a warm message of gratitude to your higher self, your spirit, the Universe and oh, of course your heavenly angels in gifting your life with precious Earth Angels among you!

Happy Holidays and a Blessed New Year to Everyone!

Sacred SELF

Posted by Margi on Jul 29, 2010

What does sacred mean to you? Does it mean nurturing yourself? Taking a break from time to time? Treating your body well? Caring for your mental health? Or perhaps taking time to reflect on inner peace? To me, sacred means all of these things and more. But where do we find it?

Once a year, I take a short break from my work to gift myself some time to recoup from day-to-day shifts. This year I am in Bend, Oregon cat-sitting, which I love. As each day unwinds, I find myself coming back to life, which is ironic, as I came here to take a break from life. But is there really such a thing as a break from life? Are we not life itself?

As I look out into the valley of tranquility—the vastness of the desert and trees that surround me—I feel invigorated. And it’s because I’m reconnecting with my sacredness and enriching my body, mind, and soul, all at once.

What a great gift for the spirit!

I believe that we all need to remember to respect ourselves – our “SELF” – on a daily basis, as well as within each step we take in life. How easily we forget what we need most: the sacredness of nurturing our inner beings and reviving the harmony that we crave. As I care for this cat, I am aware of the joy it’s bringing me and that she is actually nurturing me. I chuckle at the warmth she gives me as her head quickly turns at each bug that flies by her, teasing her in the moment. She is living the moment. She is in her own sacredness. She’s living life! And she doesn’t think twice about it—she’s just enjoying it.

When was the last time you took time to connect with your sacredness? I invite you to gift yourself, even for just a moment, to observe something sacred in your world. When possible, maintain this action wherever you are and wherever you go. It’s the best gift you can give yourself!

Live, love and laugh.

Life can be and is good! No matter what!
