Daily Gratitude Moment by Moment

Is it possible to express too much gratitude? Oh if only that were our problem. With over half of the world in dire poverty and more than that experiencing tremendous hardships through environmental upheaval, my gratitude is ever amplified and sincere. My little problems don’t amount to much in light of what it could be. Have you seen Eat, Pray Love yet with Julia Roberts? I haven’t, but I’ve read the book by Elizabeth Gilber, and it is a glowing example of a woman in transition realizing her saving grace is through gratitude, forgiveness and sheer letting go. We are mostly creatures of habit, so allowing new vibrations and patterns into our lives is a real accomplishment. That is what I am doing now. Allowing, allowing life to unfold with all its hardships, challenges, joy and surprises. I’m trusting that all will be just as it should, as it is, as it shall be, and all for the best. Sound philosophical? Yes, I’m right there living between the veils. It’s quite fascinating. With each day there is discovery, disappointment, achievement, awakening. May each of your days provide exactly what you need to further your soul along in this ever-changing world.

I helped organize the Ruidoso NM Kite Festival last week and after a very precarious start, we went on to have a lot of fun, fly a lot of kites and make a lot of kids happy. Take a look!

Violet-Flame Meditation
The Power Of Transmutation

Use the Violet-Flame meditation as a powerful tool to release negative karma, raise your vibration and consciousness.

The violet flame is a powerful tool anyone can use in meditation. It helps release negative karma, raise your consciousness awareness, the frequency of your vibration, and accelerate your spiritual growth. Energy can?t be erased but it can be changed, transmuting negative into positive, darkness into light. This allows you to make the choices you feel negatively about become positive, while also changing your emotional experience. Physically, the violet flame releases emotions and energy pent up within that make you vulnerable to illness and disease.

The violet flame in meditation uses a combination of affirming thoughts and visualization. Once centered, begin by surrounding yourself with white-and-blue protective energy. You may even want to call on archangel Michael for his protection while you go into this powerful spiritual state. Then repeat thoughts such as ?I am cleansed and purified by the violet flame.? Picture a huge bonfire before you, its immensity making you feel small beside it, and marvel as the colors flicker between purple, violet, and bright pink. Sense its warmth while noticing that it will not burn you. Step into the flame, letting it surround you entirely while also filling the spaces in your body, your thoughts, even the cells and molecules within you. Once there, focus on the positive things you?d like to create in your life or your hopes for others. Visualize the violet flame in the midst of the scenes as they unfold in your mind. You may want to ask that the power of the flame be multiplied to as! sist those in need.

When you have finished your meditation, be sure to close with gratitude. The violet flame is a powerful tool that should be used consciously and with intent. Forgetting to close with thanks keeps you connected and may lead to the unintentional misuse of this energy. It is always a good idea when finished with any spiritual practice to give thanks as this creates closure. Saints and adepts throughout the ages have known how to use the violet flame, but it is available for all to use to raise our awareness and, eventually, that of all mankind.

A Stroke of Insight

Jill Bolte Taylor got a research opportunity few brain scientists would wish for: She had a massive stroke, and watched as her brain functions — motion, speech, self-awareness — shut down one by one. An astonishing story. She did an 18 minute presentation on TED regarding this – it is brilliant, an extraordinary account of how our brains work within our spiritual self. Please take the time to view this enlightened performance.
