There is a necessary balance to spiritual living, kind of like riding a bike.\u00a0 If our spirituality and our humanness\u00a0are the opposite feet pedaling our bike of life, we need to use both legs in a balanced way to stay upright and keep our bicycle moving forward!\u00a0 Too much mundane focus and we lose our spiritual lightness and power, getting mired in the minutiae of life…too much spiritual focus and we lose our ground in the world.<\/p>\n
Another polarity to keep balanced is between the outward influence we exert to make the world a better place, and inward relaxation, peace and gratitude for what we have.\u00a0 If we are too inward, we may not play our needed part in the lives of others and our world…but if we use too much of our energy in outward endeavors we\u00a0lose our center and groundedness; then nothing we do comes out right, even though our intentions are true.<\/p>\n
There is great power in pursuing joy and pleasure in life, when that isn’t a narcissistic imbalance, but\u00a0is a balance to work and service.\u00a0 The way I think of this is that each day should be a day that God in me would enjoy living!\u00a0 The pleasures of life can ground\u00a0our true spirit\u00a0in a way that work won’t usually do.\u00a0\u00a0They can open our hearts, help us to release control and judgment, and when we do that our Higher Self can\u00a0answer our prayers and support our work to achieve what we desire.\u00a0 Often things can’t work out the way we think they should or will.\u00a0 There are factors we can’t understand or see.\u00a0 So we work,\u00a0pray, meditate, visualize\u00a0and invest our intentions\u00a0 for the greater good in partnership with our Higher Self and the One.\u00a0 Then we let go, relax, enjoy our life as it is right now to our best ability, love and trust each moment that we can, and watch what happens!<\/p>\n
Once we relax and let go, so spirit can do what can be done instead of what we think should be done, there is another piece which we can\u00a0do to help.\u00a0 It is simply\u00a0to give\u00a0thanks.\u00a0 When I find myself judging, fighting what is, feeling fearful for the future, or angry about the past (everyone has these experiences, we are all human still!) it helps a great deal to say with heart and will…\u00a0thank you for everything.\u00a0 Thank you to people, thank you to the mother earth, thank you to the plants and animals, thank you to the water and air, thank you to myself, thank you to the Mother and Father Creators, thank you to the One…etc…. Thank you overcomes fear, it releases pain, it heals the past, it opens the way for the best outcome that life can give us now; it helps us relax, so God can do the big stuff.<\/p>\n
As we enter this week of Thanksgiving, it is a perfect time to\u00a0surrender concern about\u00a0our country,\u00a0the planet\u00a0and the future.\u00a0 You can do that by giving thanks that everything is working toward the greater good, though you may not understand how that can be.\u00a0 It is true, and I will talk more about the death of the old world and the emerging new world soon.\u00a0 The challenges if the past weeks have prepared you to hear more of that, which is a super powerful subject.\u00a0 It is a necessary and good thing, disguised as a bad thing.\u00a0 Please don’t be fooled!\u00a0 Enjoy this week, give thanks for\u00a0each moment and all the good it brings.\u00a0 Love yourself, the people in your life and the Creator.\u00a0 Give that One a chance to move us a little bit further into the new world, as you pedal the relaxing side of your bicycle of life \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
I am giving thanks for each of you right now, my ascending\u00a0friends!\u00a0 May your week be joyful and delicious!\u00a0 Love Always, Eve<\/p>\n
