Thank you

Thank God for our blogs. I am so grateful we have at least that much.

Peace reminders...

As so many are going through times of intense change, financial strife, relationship changes, job loss, etc. many find this to be a challenging time.

We are asked to remember some very simple things in order to move through it.

First, breathe. Develop and practice breathing as a constant minute to minute habit.

Second, pray and meditate. Develop and practice your solitary prayer and meditation time to strengthen your connection to God and to your soul. This will steady you to bring you through the difficult moments.

Third, smile and be happy. Despite what appears to be strife, this is simply God and Goddess' way of creating long-lasting change on planet Earth, something which we have all been praying for.

Fourth, be in nature as much as you can. Nature will absorb and support much of the stress we feel as humans. Nature reminds us of the simplicity of life and how we can find beauty everywhere. We see it in the trees, the flowers, insects, the sky, absolutely every precious part of nature we touch brings us more peace.

Fifth, create. Create anything new for yourself. This could be a new project, hobby, career, or any creative art such as singing or dancing.

Sixth, play. Make time to do fun things and laugh. Laugh as much as you breathe. Find absolutely nothing to laugh about and laugh. It works! :-)

Seventh, rest. When we get stressed, we tend to push ourselves harder, drink more caffeine and eat unhealthy foods. Stay on top of this by resting when you feel stressed.

Eighth, exercise. Same as rest, it gets out the tension. Simply put, endorphins are very very good.

Don't forget your flower essences, essential oils, herbal teas, etc... all the little things you can do to stay balanced during the day.

I can't get through these days myself without singing all day. This is my main form of prayer, devotional chanting. We each have our own way of staying in peace.

What is yours?

Wishing you blessings of love. Remember miracles happen easily every day. Unlimited possibilities are there for everyone.

Om shanti,
Love,

Love, be, breathe, I love you

Kabir's Song by Snatam Kaur

Oh My Soul
Oh my Soul, you come and you go
Through the paths of time and space.
In useless play you’ll not find the way
So set your goals and go.
Sing such a song with all your life
You will never have to sing again.
Love such a one with all your heart
You will never need to love again.
Oh my Soul you come and you go (etc) ...
Walk such a path with all your faith
You will never have to wander again.
Give yourself to such a Guru
You will never have to seek again.
Oh my Soul ... (etc)
Pray such a prayer with all your soul
You will never have to pray again.
Die such a death at the feet of God
You will never have to die again.
Oh my Soul ... (etc)
Breathe my Love
Breathe my Love
Breathe in the quiet centre.

More on Spiritual Warriors

So it seems a few good folks have decided to protest in NYC. This makes me happy. https://occupywallst.org/

I hope you will support them in your prayers at least. And pray for their protection.

Also consider writing to Mayor Bloomberg to stop his police officers from arresting and brutalizing innocent peaceful children.

Thank you so much,

Spiritual Warrior Lover

I was going to ask, "Spiritual Lover" or "Spiritual Warrior?" This question comes following a conversation I had tonight with a woman about whether the world needs lovers or fighters? Let's take for example some of the world's greatest leaders. Some were fighters. Some were not. Some were simply lovers. At one point this woman said to me that I need to prepare to fight in order to accomplish here on Earth what I am meant to. And to that I wondered if indeed she was right. So many of you have opinions to how these messages of peace are to be spread. Of course, love is the foundation of all we are and all we do. Yet the greatest leaders who created movements were most definitely warriors who weren't afraid to speak the truth in the face of opposition. So we speak truth, with love, without reservation and we walk forward with our purpose guiding us. And of course the old favorite bumper sticker, "Well behaved women rarely make history." Why this blog? Perhaps a warning. Don't like what I say or do. It's likely to stir minds and egos. It's okay. I don't speak my truth to be liked. I don't give messages to make people happy. I'm here to speak what is necessary, in any way guided by my soul and by all of Spirit.

If all of the new children speak their truth with complete candor and honesty, the shift will happen more quickly.

This is coming.

And thank God, it's time.

Presence and Patience

Writing about Presence and Patience is like writing about Silence and Stillness.

Presence is found through silence. Patience is found in quiet meditation, or presence.

Presence and Patience feed off of each other, when we cultivate one, we cultivate the other.

Divine words flow easily while present to higher energies wishing to speak through us.

As we delve deeper within we find a deeper stillness, presence and then patience becomes the result or the gift of having created such stillness.

The breath is always a major vehicle for achieving this level of presence and patience.

Are you willing to sit and watch? Are you willing to sit and wait?

Watching and Waiting is Presence and Patience.

We be. We do not simply do. We be. Being within, being present, being patient, watching and waiting for truth, learning and gifts to be revealed.

Revelation will not often arrive in chaos. It arrives in the silence following chaos. There we are in our breath and settled enough to receive the gifts of silence.

Breathing in, breathing out. We do this again and again. What more can we do?

Loving and hoping is also on today's program. Spirit guides us all to these simple understandings of what is in each moment. We often overlook them because we are mentally stretching and looking for complex solutions when God's version of truth is simplicity.

We need much less than we realize and we are all seeking something more. What you are seeking is found in your own heart. What you are seeking is found in silence and simple presence. What you are seeking is found in God's heart. Seek no more.

Breathing in Presence. Breathing out patience. We breathe and wait. We breathe and be peace.

Revel in God's simple answers. We can accept simplicity. We can become simple humans again. Then peace on Earth will flourish.

Cheers to all of God's servants on Earth. Thank you for being here with me.

Love, Andria
