Love Writings

Have you ever given thought to how much you love your life?

How blessed you are to breathe?

How wonderful the sun feels on your skin when you walk outside in the fresh air?

I could list the wonderful things about life for days and it would still have no end. Feeling Gratitude for my life is what helps me stay centered in the Beauty and Grace that fills me. Gratitude is a simple way to honor the gifts that are brought into your life. Being humble and giving thanks brings perspective to how simple life can be or better yet how simply wonderful the little things in life are with each breath.

My health is one of the many things I show gratitude for daily. Nothing can go forward in my day if I'm ill as well as it can if my health is in perfect balance. This is my truth and I honor it more with each breath. Remaining centered, focused, and balanced in the flow moves Divinely when my physical body is healthy and well. Giving thanks for my health allows me to honor the Divine for the gift but also my body for all the functions it preforms every second without so much as a conscious thought on my part. Think of all that your body does for you each moment and think how much more it could do if you gave it better food, more water, and of course exercise and stretching. Starting with Gratitude helps move onto making healthy changes for the body.

My personal time with God in prayer and meditation is another important function I find myself not being able to live without and for this I also give thanks. Slowing down and sitting in quiet time with myself and God brings a greater perspective to how full and beautiful my life is at all moments. Having this time to honor, pray, and give thanks helps me focus on what really is needed. Allows me to solve issues that need my heart and minds attention. At the end of the day it allows for release and assists with that which needs to be handed over to the Divine for healing and treatment.

Creating a gratitude list, writing in a journal, taking time for prayer and meditation are all ways to start your love writings to God and to your Divine Self. It centers, it creates, it brings into the physical world things that you once took for granted. I find that by moving into Gratitude at least twice a day brings more of what I give thanks for into my life. It is as if I am weaving my web for the day and I start it by filling it with Grace for all I have been given and right before I lay my head down to sleep I complete my web for they day with one more silent gratitude list just to remind me how blessed I am wrapped up and surrounded in the Love and Light of God. The in-between time is mine to weave and create-the end points the guides for a brighter day and a more God-centered life.

Make a choice to start your lists and see what your heart and soul show you. You might be surprised at the things that come to mind that you are grateful for. You also might help create a peaceful time just for yourself. You might create a time for spiritual connection that you never considered. There is no better time of day to start this practice than right now. Hear the calling of your soul to move into a place of gratitude and do it with the Grace that is blessed upon you with ever breath. Smile, your light shines and this is one loving gift you give to the world that only requires a thought of happiness.


My person truth:
My path of service begins each day with Gratitude and my Breath. Each day ends the same.

Grace

God is within all of us.

I Am that I Am.

Knowing this concept and allowing it to take root, fill your life, and transform you takes dedication and faith that what is happening really is always for the better of all. Releasing judgement, self-centeredness and hatred are huge steps to allowing the seed of love to grow within you. Our culture has been breeding into us for a lifetime to do the above mentioned ad nauseam. All the tabloids, beauty magazines, and trashy newspapers fill our time with gossip, unrealistic concepts of beauty, and most importantly information that doesn't provide any importance except to perpetuate the negativity. Releasing the need to hear about the lives of others is one big step into stopping yourself from judging others. Removing yourself from the TV or discontinue reading beauty magazines will help stop the cycle of self-centeredness. Allowing the Grace of God to flow through your very being and heal old wounds and create new life patterns will help you to release anger and more importantly help you to avoid any feelings of hatred.

I have taken these steps to assist in my transformation. I have almost completely changed my whole life to sail in a different ocean than mainstream media and the general populations concepts of how life should be enjoyed. I'm happy I'm doing things differently and I'm also happy with how others do things. My prayers are for changing the world for the better. My prayers are for peace, love, a healing for Mother Earth, and a Divine Healing for all that live here and now. Our jobs as souls on this planet is to help welcome and manifest the new world. We have to make changes in our lives to allow this shift to happen. Honoring your calling is how you take your first step.

I love being fully surrounded by my sacred space in my home. I feel the pulse of the earth, I smell the scents on the wind and in my sacred oils. I know in my heart that Angels and Ascended Masters smile down and give thanks for my courage and sincerity as I hold sacred time for meditation and remain open for more information to flow. I have been doing some meditations from a great author read book called Channeling Grace by Caroline Myss. I love reading or listening to books that ring my bells so to speak. When I hear or see words written that describe the experiences or messages I have been receiving it is a great confirmation as to my connection with the Divine Mother/Father God, the Angels and Ascended Masters. Hearing Grace be described as Caroline views it and believes it to be helped to expand my understanding of how this Divine Love works for others. I had been finding it difficult the last few weeks to stay stationary and really focus my meditations. I would find myself falling asleep or receiving information which would distract my original intention which was to remain empty and just breathe. After finishing a guided meditation I realized I had just visited God. It is that simple. I had sat in the emptiness of my being, in a dark and totally silent place and held space with God. My experience was very sacred to me so I will keep that to myself but the outcome was one of total bliss. I wish this experience for everyone. I wish for you to quiet yourself and visit God. Really show yourself that you love this life and honor who and why you are here and give yourself the gift of God.

I realized that I had been visited by many Angels, many Ascended Masters, I've even had the honor of being in the presence of the Divine Christ Energy twice when I needed it most. I just never reached out and ask to be with God directly. As I said at the start, we all contain God within us. We all have our fill of this Divine love- how it flows from us and into us remains solely on how we utilize this love and allow it to fill our days. Requesting to be in the presence of God is not something you do on any special day or time. It only requires one thing- faith. Once it happens you will never be the same. I'm not. I can't ever go back to my vision of this life, world, or universe and not have that feeling of complete pure love for me and all that is and all that will ever be.

Change yourself for you. Change yourself because you can. Change yourself because you owe it to you to live the most fulfilling life you could ever imagine. All you need is faith and a moment to honor the seed God left in your heart the moment you were created into this universe. Light the fire and allow it to burn out all that isn't Divine by nature and watch yourself transform into the beautiful being that God has always held you to be.

I love each of you. I honor each of your paths and pray for your health, love and life- always.

Namaste,
Leah

Meditation

I have been working on different meditation forms that visually come to me as I maintain presence in my daughters nursery while they fall asleep. Since I am actually performing my service of presence for them I have a hard time going into deep meditation. I decided that I would use this time to perform Reiki on myself, stretch quietly if the movement doesn't distract them from falling asleep, and doing more 'active' meditation. I call it active because instead of going within and finding my quiet place I visualize. Today my visualization was a guided meditation that was a beautifully Divine gift. I allowed the meditation to flow, the beauty of it was life changing. I will utilize this meditation regularly as it was extremely effective.



The meditation is centered around the 5 elements and clearing the energies of the body. It also assists with clearly seeing the chakras without the the interference of the body. Allow this to flow at its own speed and visualize each step feeling the sensations of each element as well as releasing any energies or feelings that come up. Just flow...



Sitting in the crossed leg or lotus position breath in deep cleansing/centering breaths. In through the nose and out through the mouth or nose. After feeling your center on your next exhale imagine your physical body slowly disappearing and draining out through your base chakra into the earth. Once the essence of the body is gone become aware of the aura that highlights the emptiness of your physical shape.
Become aware of your chakra column. Make note of any other energy points that may also be seen in the emptiness. At this time breath in to each chakra and balance if required, cleanse if needed, and speak to any new energy points to learn of their purpose, then just breathe.
When your are ready imagine a bright white light come into your emptiness from your crown chakra and fill the shape that was your form. Allow it to pulse and radiate out of your aura. Then on an in breath request the light to soak into your very being. Touching every molecule of your body, mind, and spirit. As it is being absorbed notice the light slowly reveal the physical body again. Once you feel the physical body again allow it to drain as you did before. Notice if it is faster, slower, or similar in speed.
Once the drain is complete on the next in-breath allow the element of fire to enter from your base chakra and feet chakras. Visualize the flames, witness the movement. What do your feel, what do you smell. Give thanks as it burns away all unwanted vibrations, energies, feelings, and unwanted thoughts. Once it has hit the crown chakra witness your physical form in flame. Notice the beauty and be aware of the sensations and feelings that may be coming up.
When you are ready visualize water in the form of a waterfall or rain entering in from your crown chakra and slowly putting out the fire and at the same time draining you and clearing you of what needs to be removed and let go. Using your base and feet chakras as drains into Mother Earth. Again, notice the sensations of what the water feels like, how it smells and what if any energies remain after the fire is extinguished and replaced. Feel the essence of water within you. Notice how calming and refreshing it feels. How akin you may feel to it as our body is made primarily out of this substance.
When you are ready notice at the base and feet chakras again the water forming into ice. Slowly moving up the legs, torso, hand, arms, neck, and then finally head. How does this feel, smell, taste, or sound. Is it heavy or constricting. What feelings come up with these sensations. Notice the colors and textures.
When you are ready imagine a warm red sand flowing in from the top of your crown chakra breaking down the ice and melting away unwanted feelings and releasing old patterns. As you feel the sand fill and swirl inside you notice how freeing you feel or what you may still be holding on to as the ice recedes and the sand connects with your base and feet chakras and finally into Mother Earth. Feel the connection to our host Mother. What areas of your body feel tight or still feel constricted.
When you are ready breathe in and request that the gift of wind blow away any remaining energies, vibrations, thoughts, patterns, or pain into the air to be sent back to the Divine Mother/Father God to be healed and transmutated. If it helps imagine a clear bubble of light that will gather the sand and energies that are being released. Once the wind has cleared you of all remaining sand allow the bubble to pop releasing and cleansing.
Notice that all that is now left is your empty shape again. Allow yourself to be filled with the white healing light again and slowly allow the physical form to enter from the crown chaka and complete itself at the base and feet chakras.
Breathe deeply. Give thanks and remember to follow any intuitive information you received and as always drink lots of water to help with toxin release.

Thank you Divine Buddha for your Love and Guidance with this meditation.

Namaste,
Leah
