What I Know For Sure (right now)

March 2010

Occasionally Oprah sends a section in her newsletter called "What I know for sure". So I thought I would send out a "What I know for sure (right now)" for this month's newsletter. You'll see with my first one why it's only "right now". :) Case in point, a great one from Oprah this month,"What I know for sure: Life is about an energy exchange. Everything and everybody is vibrating at different frequencies. And you get to choose the vibration you want to resonate with and how to manifest that choice through your actions." I totally resonate with this big time!

Now on to my list. I'm sure I could add hundreds of things to this list but for today I want to keep this list simple with the top ten things of what I know for sure right now:

1. Everything is always changing, nothing stays the same. Go with the flow of life.

Roll with the waves, the ups the downs, the in's the outs. You can stay in your center more and more as you consciously practice the Divine connection that is always there. We can live life to its fullests and feel the ups and downs while remaining in our peaceful center. The more you do this the easier it gets over time. Things will change but our center is always there for the grasping. So the more you can breathe in divine presence in every moment the easier the challenges will pass you by.

We can send out our intentions but mostly live right now, in this moment. I was not doing that recently but moreso in my intentions instead of living and feeling the aliveness that I am in every moment. It's always there. I just start to become "unconscious" the more I live in what "could be" and fall into the "ego" traps that are there. So little reminders come and if I ignore them, the whispers turn into screams, as I like to say. So listen. Here the call of what is right now. It's energy that is just under the surface of our external experiences. This reality if filled with beautiful experiences to enjoy and work through. But we CAN live in this beautiful experience and be in our inner peaceful center at the same time.

2. Nothing is ever ours. Everything is temporary. Enjoy what we have now. It will not always be. Live in the Present moment. Surrender everything!

3. We are all One. We are all connected, every human being, every tree, plant and flower. We are the source connection.

4. Everything is alive with energy. Everything. We can choose to manipulate it to our desires as our expression or simply enjoy it as it flows. A balance occurs with enjoying the energy as is and with allowing what is bursting out of you as divine guidance to flow as your expression of the energy.

Even our words have energy! It's not just about being positive but rather being conscious. We can use our negative energy to say no I don't want that. It's there as a guiding post to show us what is inside of us and what we need to bring into the light to transmute into what we really are becoming. Light beings. Become conscious.

5. Just do what you love. Divine Guidance call us, pulls us to our divine expression. We must express what we love and love what we express. What feels truly divine good is what is calling to you. So be happy.

6. Put our love into whatever it is we are doing! We can love what we do and we can do what we love. While we are on our way to our next expression we must enjoy the moment that is happening right now. So whatever it is that you are doing, put your loving energy into it. This will keep your conscious vibration singing high and that feeds your future experience as well!

7. Movement is key. Live in the flow. Energy is constantly moving and our mind, body and soul require this movement as well. You can force yourself to be unmoving, stubborn or lazy. Or you can choose to flow with life. Move your body and feel the rejuvenation received. It's so easy to become lazy and complacent; stagnant. But it takes extra energy to remain this way and stop the forces of energy from doing what they are naturally supposed to do and that is to move, change and evolve. As you move your body you will notice the toxins being released from your body. The signs of this are feeling ahhhh oh so good.Feeling rejuvenated, refreshed and invigated. As you hit your edge you will begin to notice that you can take it even further over time. We are never stagnant, always evolving, always changing. My movement of choice is yoga as well as aerobics of many forms. But there are so many out there to choose from. Pick your favorites as that is what you will continue to do. Remember to allow your mind and soul to expand as well. Our minds become habitual to thought patterns and emotions. We can stay stagnant in old beliefs, emotions and patterns or become conscious of our life. See what is happening in your life now. Ask yourself the important questions. Are you happy and feeling good now? If not, why? What is it that needs to move or change to make yourself more uplifted. Or what is it in our old limiting beliefs that need to be modified in order for the change to occur from within and be happy where you are now in that new conscious awareness. There's so much to say about this point but for now I will stop here and see what seeds have been planted for you.

8. Faith and Trust. Know we are always taken care of. Always. Everything happens for the highest and best good of our current vibration. This one is so simple and yet to pivotal to what holds it all together for me, especially during those challenging times. Having faith that all is as it should be gets me through. Using faith to assist me in seeing the good that comes out of *every* situation allows me to flow with life. Trust that you are in the flow. Allow grace to move you through the challenges and hold on to your faith that we are all One with Source.

9. By meditating you can get quiet enough to hear the still small voice within. In meditation you get closer to the vibration that we were before incarnating. And in doing this you bring a little piece of that back with you for a higher awareness. Your conscious evolves, changes and moves to new levels through meditation. Messages and knowings happen most assuredly easier when meditating and even when not meditating if you are in a regular meditating practice. Life flows with you because you are consciously connected with your dedicated meditation practice. The benefits are amazing.

Some days are harder than others so sometimes we forget or think we don't have the time. Totally understandable. We all get there and we all do it. Our ego-driven lives take over. But you may take note that on those days when we don't take that time for ourselves, even 5 minutes, that the day is rockier and more challenging to move through. You may feel less connected and little knowings will not more easily come your way like they do when you regularly meditate. You can even meditate while journaling at your desk. You can write and then close your eyes for a few moments and then write some more. Whatever it is that you can do, do it.

So take a few moments every day to come back to yourself with meditation. Come back to the Divine by getting quiet and being. You can do this in the sanctuary of your home, out in nature or even in the bathroom stall at work. I know I have to do this sometimes and it's really helpful. Get centered and move through your day with more ease, grace and love with connected through meditation.

10. We only have right now. Live in the moment of Now. Right now in this very second you can tap into your true peaceful still self. Right now in this very moment is all you have so you can make the most of only right now. The phrase "Live like you were dying" is so right on. We never know when our lives will end really. It could be any day, any moment or even today. Live right now as if the next second is your last. When you do this every single thing you do, every moment and every person you see becomes sacred. Denise Linn shared a moving newsletter in her Mumblings & Musings this month about a friend of hers diagnosed with cancer and the hospital being unable to continue her life support measures. They let her know that she had mere weeks to live. What her friend became when she heard this was beautiful and graceful. She began seeing every moment as a treasure. Every feeling. Even sitting on the toilet became a sacred moment to treasure. Every thing we feel, see and do is a gift. And by living like this EVERY DAY in EVERY MOMENT we truly expand our life to something so meaningful and loving. Life truly is a treasure and as you live in this very moment Now (and always) you really LIVE. Make that choice to be you and live Now, happy in faith and trust that all is Divine.

This month's newsletter is a rush job. I do apologize if there are any typos. Please see beyond any typos I may have missed. When I return from vacation I will do a sweep of the newsletter and make sure it flows without any typos as best I can. But even with any typos, the information is held within.
