Key One Secret to Being Grateful

Grateful are you? Do you thank God, the universe or your higher power for all the awesome blessings in your life? If you accept that you indeed do have an abundance of blessings, then you will grow more blessings in your life! It’s kinda like gardening. If I spread seeds on the soil but don’t water them and fertilize them and talk to them, then they aren’t going to grow very well. We need to pay attention to what we plant.

water Gratefulness is the water. All you need is a feather weight of gratefulness each day. Without water there is no life form. Without gratefulness the seeds of blessings will not sprout. If I were God and you weren’t thankful nor grateful for what I have already given to you, I doubt I would give you anything else. Just a respectful “thanks God” will do. I do believe gratefulness is the first key in evolving our blessings and our spirituality. Be thankful every day! Take a Moment of Joy and just revel in how marvelous that blessing was!

Key Two Secret to Forgiveness

daffodil The second key of Forgiveness is one of the fertilizers. If you are going to grow and evolve as a spiritual being, you will have to learn the skill of forgiving yourself first. Forgiveness is the only way to heal your emotional wounds. Wounds surface especially during the times when the Moon is passing through a water sign. Forgive those who hurt you no matter what they’ve done because you don’t want to hurt yourself every time you remember what they did. They were bringing lessons to you. When you can touch a physical wound and it doesn’t hurt, then you know you have truly forgiven both the other person and yourself. You have to do the same with your emotional scars.

Marianne Williamson in her book, A Return To Love wrote, “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

“Suffering requires us to descend into ourselves. As there is no other way out, we are obliged to call on the power of the soul and spirit. When we succeed in doing so, instead of groaning and crying out in rebellion, we exhale a delicate perfume.” (Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov)

Key Three Secret to Your Peace

The third key of Peace is also part of the fertilizer. If you do not have a bubble of peace around you, why not? If you do not have a bubble of peace around your home why not? Your home is your sacred space. Your home is your heaven on this earth. Make it a place of peace so that you can refill your emotional and spiritual well. Surround yourself with beauty and calmness. Otherwise, how can you possibly go out into that chaotic world and help others?

The Conversations with God Foundation once published this about Peace and spirituality. Peace will be attained when we as human beings:

PERMIT ourselves to acknowledge that some of our old beliefs about God and about life are no longer working.
EXPLORE the possibility that there is something we do not understand about God and about Life. The understanding of these two things could change everything.
ANNOUNCE that we are willing for new understandings about God and Life to be brought forth, understandings that could produce a new way of life on this planet.
COURAGEously examine these new understandings and if they align with our personal inner truth and knowing, to enlarge our belief system to include them.
EXPRESS our lives as a demonstration of our highest beliefs, rather than as a denial of them.

Secret Keys to Your Peaceful Sacred Space

Do you want more peace and calm in your personal life? There are several steps you can take to achieve this. You can exhibit some control over at least a part of your environment – your home. Empower yourself and take control over what you are able to control!

Here’s reality folks. As we move towards the Shift of the Ages, life is speeding up. We all feel it and know that is true. Where did the time go? This is now a common phrase. As the Universe expands at an exponential rate, it is taking its toll on we humans on earth. As a result, a lot of living is now compressed in shorter units of time. What ends up happening is that each of us becomes like a mechanical spring that is tightly wound up. Then the straw that breaks the camel’s back appears. It’s just an innocent little straw, but it packs a powerful wallop because it unleashes all those pent up emotions that we have been placing our life-spring over. We go boing and our negative emotions are springing all over the place, doing backflips and forward flips.

”Yah right,” you might say. However, whoever heard of road rage, or airplane rage, or raging grannies, or rage, rage rage all over the place as little as a decade ago. Our very polite and considerate Canadian society is turning into a raging cauldron nation. My personal energy is that of a smoldering volcano for any who know me exceptional well. Mars leads the parade in my astrology chart so my instinctive reaction is to be the warrior queen and take on anyone over anything I care about. I’m aware of that energy and have worked for years to contain it and control it. Consequently I have dedicated a lifetime of working constructively with aggressive, anger and rage energy. Here are some of the strategies that have worked for me.

For years I taught kids to look at two factors when they are problem solving any problem. You might not know this, but kids worry about the world a lot. The first is what is beyond their control. The second is what is within their control. There is little we can do with the energy that is beyond our control. So don’t focus on those issues. However, each of us can control many factors within our own personal environment.

The main thing we can control is what goes on in our own homes. We can strive to have one place in the world that is peaceful. If we keep our home environment calm away from the chaos of life, then we are better equipped to deal with life issues as they surface. Instead of being peed off in your home be peaceful on!

Four P-Steps to a Peaceful Place

Problem solving have a simple method that works for you and your family members. Use that method consistently whenever a problem arises so everyone in the family knows the process and can predict how situations will be handled. It is the unpredictable that leads to fear.
Peaceful solutions When there is an issue, don’t let your ego get in the way. Strive for a win-win situation. When we have an issue we write the specific issue on a piece of paper and put it in a bowl. We make it very clear that we love one another and we are focusing on the issue in the bowl that we somehow have to solve together. That removes it from the ego. Perhaps each person has to give a little and meet in the middle. Focus on what is the best way to keep a peaceful household without anyone giving in and giving away part of their spirit.
Pure Unconditional Love leads to harmony. Focus on love in your home and creating a loving place to live. Be grateful and tell those you love you are grateful for the small things they do.
Peaceful Honesty. Is it really worth while getting into a power struggle over something that has little meaning to you? If you are passionate about some issue, lay the cards on the table and be honest with those who love you. Let them know this is a hot button issue for you.

grateful attitude Resolution: What would happen if you stated you were going to always have your home be a peaceful place no matter what and all members worked towards that goal? Your personal world would be a better place! If you create your personal space to be peaceful, it literally resonates throughout the world and shimmers across the spider’s web that connects us all.

Oh yah, don’t knowingly invite chaos into your personal world … keep it outside the door of your home. You deserve one place where you can have peace in your life … and it shouldn’t have to be the bathroom! Don’t be pissed off .. be peaceful on this earth!
