Honoring the Ancestors

It does not matter if you believe in One God or many Gods; heaven or reincarnation;  praying with rosary beads or meditating with mala beads, burning offerings or repeating affirmations. Find a deity that inspires you to live a more beautiful life and find a ritual/craft that feeds your Heart.

Our ancestors did not have it all figured out but they were also searching for the road to happiness.  They also sought for gurus and studied scriptures.  They were in touch with Nature and cared for their villages.

They left us recipes for food and medicine.  They gave us art and science. They developed traditions and teachings.

Whether you chose to honor your ancestors or the ancestors of others, do it with honor and grace as they paved the way for us to have an easier life.  And as we keep walking our journey, we do the same for the people to come.

So, what would you do now that you would like the people of the future imitate and honor?

Is it your joy?
your harmony?
your mindfulness?
your lovingkindness?
your compassion?
your bravery?
your spirituality
your wisdom?
your generosity?
your peace?

We all have the opportunity to contribute the same way our ancestors did.  We all have the power to inspire and leave teachings to benefit all living beings.

Pick a passion and share it radiantly with the people of today and tomorrow!

Returning to the Heart

Be where your Heart is.  Put your mind right back where your Heart is.  Your Heart is in your physical body.  Your Heart chakra is also in your physical body.

It is your mind that strays away, not the Heart, never the Heart.

People may say, “I’m here but my Heart is somewhere else”.  Nonsense! Stand where you are and place your hand on your chest.  That is where you Heart truly is.

The mind will wonder into expectation for the future, yearning for the present to be different or reminiscing memories from the past.  But your Heart is right here with you at all times. 

Do not confuse the wishes of the mind with the longings of the Heart.  Your Heart longs for you to be right here right now with it. 

Do not abandon it.  Your mind may want to be somewhere else but trust that you are where you are needed to be and your Heart is always right there with you.

Perhaps, the only reason we have a physical body is so that we have a place to keep our Heart safe like a locket and not lose it when the mind is so busy going from one place to another.  

Perhaps, the whole purpose of our breath is to bring the mind back to the Heart, to unite them in holy matrimony so that them may be together forever honoring and loving each other.

So, right here, right now, take a deep breath and bring your mind back to the love of your Heart.

Feel safe, be gentle, feel loved.

Too much Doing, not enough Being – A lesson from the Inner Child

My Heart said:

“Follow me”

I said:

“Do you know where you are going?”

Heart:

“No, but I know the one who knows The Way”

Today, this lady I hardly know but is always very nice, came to me and told me:

“I’m sorry if I’m being presumptuous but you look like a dancer.  Do you dance? Because you walk like you are a dancer .“ 

I said:

“I am not a professional dancer but I belly dance.  I have taken classes before and it is my number one hobby.”

So she told me about all these dancing shows and workshops coming up by the American Dance Festival in the month of June, right when I will have a break from work.  I thought it would be a great idea to check them out so she was kind enough to bring me the booklet with all the information about it. 

As I was looking through the pages, I was grabbed by the colors on the pages, the pictures of the dancers and the abundance of shows and workshops coming up and I said to myself:

“You mean I can be a real dancer?!?!”

I was so happy, I started planning my vacation and budget around it thinking The Universe must have aligned this opportunity for me. 

I had to stop and go back to do my work, then a few minutes later my Inner Child came to me and said:

“Pinocchio wants to tell you something”

The Guiding Light of Compassion

Compassion is guilt that has been released of all judgment.  So forgive yourself often to release all judgment and liberate yourself from guilt. 
Experience full compassion. 
Experience your innocence.  
Acts of kindness will follow.

    

My Ancestors came this morning and said: “We would like a word with you”.

I went “Oh, Oh”. 

I knew it had to be something big.  I usually feel my Ancestors behind me, supporting me, they are always there but they rarely talk.  

I knew it had to be big but I said: “I’m running late now”.  

They said: “Don’t worry, we will be in touch”

Organic.... Feeling the human in me

There is a Heart that beats with harmonious rhythm.
There is a mind that thinks in subtle patterns.
There is an energy that is connected to an electrifying life force.
In the middle of it, I AM an organic machine that loves, thinks and feels.
I am sure of my presence. I am sure of my form. But who AM I really without all this working through me?
Would I ever let it go? Would I ever let it reign?
Would I ever let it be in balance and harmony with each element running through my cells?

As long as I love, as long as I love, as long as I love... As long as I love everything is A-OK.

Three simple elements of Success

Your talent.
The opportunities you are able to notice.
The people who help you achieve them.

It is not just you.

You did not just get a lucky break.

People didn’t just put it on your lap.

There are three elements and it is healthy to recognize and honor all of them.  It will keep you proud of who you are and the success you are experiencing but also humble as you know it cannot be achieved in self-centeredness.  We are all interconnected, we all have our talent and the people create the environment that gives birth to the opportunities around us.

If you become arrogant and don’t accept the help of others, you may miss good opportunities; then there cannot be success.

If there are good opportunities and people willing to help you but you don’t trust your talents, then, there cannot be success.
