Published 16/02/2014 by inspiringyourspirit

The Four Agreements.

Be Impeccable with your Words
Don’t Make assumptions
Don’t take anything personally
Always do your best

Speaking with integrity, not speaking ill of yourself or gossiping about others, having the courage to speak up and ask questions, communicate clearly in order to be understood and not cause misunderstandings, drama or a crisis. Don’t take everything others say to heart, their words if against you are not really about you they are a reflection of how they feel about themselves and they do it to protect their own reality not yours, when you become immune to what others say and think of you, you will no longer feel like a victim. Always do your best for you, not just because of others. Stay healthy, do your best to live a good healthy life, you have a choice what you feed yourself and if you exercise or not…it’s your choice so do your best to make the right choices for your life and live it to the full 🙂

Namaste with Love

today i went inside my head

Published 13/02/2014 by inspiringyourspirit

meditate

My Dear Friends,

Today I went inside my head
Closed my eyes and took a breath
I can feel the coolness of the air as it enters my nose
And the warmth as it exits my mouth

Slow and deep breaths I take
In and hold
Out and hold
Paying attention to the now

How do I feel, what do I feel
Oh there’s a thought
Say hi and thank you
But your not needed now, so please go away

The pure new energy is entering my lungs
Fueling my heart
Into my bloodstream
Passing through my body like cars on a highway

Into my arms, my hands and my fingers
Rushing through my body
To every organ, to every cell
Nourishing me as it makes its way

But how do I feel..
At peace for now
Deeper and deeper I go
Into my mind

To a place where I’m safe
My tranquil place
My garden of truth
My home

No one can touch me here
It’s for me and for me alone
My dreams are here
I’m loved here

I can stay or I can return
It’s my choice
It’s my life
My meditation

Namaste With Love

i’m feeling a little down today, so I smile.

Published 12/02/2014 by inspiringyourspirit

My Dear Friends,

I know I have posted this Kirk Franklin video ‘Smile’ before but today is a new day, and ….

I’m feeling a little down today!

But, Today’s a new day, where is the sunshine, where are my blue skies?

There is nothing but clouds and it’s dark in my heart….Where is the sunshine?

Today’s a new day, where is the love and the joy you promised me?

Today’s a new day.

I almost gave up but then a power that I cannot explain, fell from heaven like a shower..now,…. I smile 🙂

Even though I hurt, I still smile 🙂
You need to look up when your down, and smile 🙂
I know God is working so I smile 🙂
Smile 🙂 , you look so much better when you smile 🙂

Smile for me, can you just smile for me 🙂

Namaste with Love

Perception…How do you feel other people perceive You?

Published 23/01/2014 by inspiringyourspirit

It’s all in your mind!

It’s all about conditioning, conditioning that starts at a very early age, it’s all about competitiveness and so called beauty! From our parents, our teachers, our so called friends saying we need to loose weight, be smarter, to wear different clothes, to have a certain hair style, to watch certain programs, to listen to certain music, to like certain things…..To COMPLY!

Do I look Pretty or Beautiful enough?

Am I too fat or too thin?

Should I wear different clothes?

Should I like this music?

Do I comply with the pictures I see in magazines, the stars and celebrities I see on the screen, the images I see on my phone?

No, No, No….

This is who I am!

You do not need to justify yourself to anyone!

You do not need to compensate who you are to fit in to how others think or say you should be!

Cool Kids, Ugly Kids, Pretty Kids, Geek Kids, Fat Kids, Skinny Kids, White Kids, Black Kids, Asian Kids, Handicapped Kids, Smart Kids, Challenged Kids, Rich Kids, Poor Kids…Judgement is done by how you look and what you have or do not have and not by communication and for who you really are!

Remember my friends, there is ‘Always Light out There’, you just have to walk away from the darkness that holds YOU back and go out and find it!

Sometimes your own worst enemies are from within your own skin, sometimes they share your own face and claim to love you but remember that/those hateful voices from within are not Love. ‘I promise you’, there will come a day when your fight is bigger than your fear, when you really start to claw your way out of your body to prove you exist. Leave that skin behind for someone else and design your own wings and remember you are a masterpiece, magnificent in your own glory 🙂

 

You are the ‘Light’

Let’s re-write these unspoken rules and break free, there is room for every type and everyone on this planet, so break yourself free from your chains and become you, yourself and stand proud in your own magnificence 🙂

Namaste with Love

Guan Yin 观音菩萨

Published 14/01/2014 by inspiringyourspirit

GUAN YIN
Guan Yin, Mother of Compassion in ancient Chinese culture, blows gently into your life, and should be welcomed as an eternal source of comfort and peace. Guan Yin’s values are about co-operation, sharing, balance, harmony and partnership; she is highly sensitive and aware. Guan Yin’s esoteric attributes are those of compassion, healing, and centering.
She lives in the heart chakra, standing in full acceptance, suspended in tranquillity, relishing joy in the silence .

Guan Yin is light and weightless – the qualities that result from highly tuned vales of tolerance and acceptance.She is here to tell you to release factors that inhibit you, that prevent you from connecting with others. Melt those walls of ice around your heart; forgive the person who you feel has committed a grievance against you; open your heart and radiate love so that love can come back to you.

 Close your eyes in a tranquil space. Visualise Guan Yin resting with the world on one shoulder, her cheek resting against it. She sees you, and you are drawn to the love radiating from her heart. She shows you how to take the world from your shoulders, hold it in your hands, and dance in joyful, carefree circles. You see the earth’s water rippling, the leaves in the trees blowing, the birds soaring without effort. Know this is happening purely thanks to your joy.

 When you walk through each day, remember Guan Yin’s presence whenever you see the soaring birds, the rustling leaves, the rippling waters. Use these triggers as a reminder to take the world off your shoulders, and to dance with abandon, with your face to the skies and
your arms in the air. 

AFFIRMATIONS:

I forgive
I radiate love
I am tolerant of everyone around me
I have great joy, and therefore great energy
My peace is shared peace
I am weightless and free of burden

Cold Play Fix You by Young At Heart

Published 20/12/2013 by inspiringyourspirit

My Dear Friends,

I felt the need to share this heart felt video with you from Young At Heart http://youngatheartchorus.com , I watched the documentary about this singing group from Northampton the other evening and I was brought to tears and smiles many times throughout the program. The ages of the group range from 73 to 92 and this song was sung in the memory of two of their choir members who had passed away that week.

Enjoy and if you have the chance, please watch the documentary and think of all the joy they bring to the world 🙂

To keep you warm.

Holding a mystery deep inside

How do I live a Happy Life!

Published 16/12/2013 by inspiringyourspirit

bow

My Dear Friends, From time to time I am asked what can one do to live a happy life. There are 10 things that have helped me and 3 ‘stances’. You may not agree with them or they may or may not suit everyone – that is OK.

1. Meditate regularly. Chose a style that suits you and stay with it.

2. Be a ‘gift’ to the world.

3. Encourage regularly.

4. Keep fit.

5. See the ‘gift’ in all things.

6. Live simply.

7. Have a routine in accord with nature.

8. Do random acts of kindness.

9. Know how your mind works (it’s all stories!)

10. Have a sense of humor.

Three Stances:

1. Love widely.

2. Listen deeply.

3. Set your values highly.

Namaste with Love

What will you be drinking today?

My Dear Friends,

What will you and your family be drinking today?

Spare a thought when you reach into your refrigerator for that expensive bottle of mineral water and think of the millions of people around the world that don’t have any clean water to drink today!

Water is life….and lack of it is death.

Some bad news has arrived and I need your help!

Published 13/12/2013 by inspiringyourspirit

Smiling Mum

My Dear Friends,

At approximately 10:40am yesterday the 12th December I came across a post by Shanta Gabriel at http://spiritlibrary.com/shanta-gabriel/12-12-portal-activating-your-merkaba, regarding a MerKaBa light initiation process that was going to happen all around our world on the 12th December at 12:12, Shanta articulated the process regarding how we could connect to source, set our intentions and fill our bodies with heaven’s light. So at approximately 10:45 am yesterday the 12th December I set my intentions to connect to source and receive the healing power, healing for me and for me to then pass on to anyone who needs it.

At approximately 10:50am my wife called me to tell me her sister has been diagnosed with a throat tumor, a Thyroid Neoplasm. Her family are rural farmers from mid northern China where they typically only earn a couple of dollars per day, they are hard working happy people, loving, kind and true to family and friends, they adore me and have taken me into their family with open arms, I have spent many happy days with them in their village and taken hundreds of photographs of them and their village life. It is certainly a place of smiles but also of sadness. Nearly two years ago almost to the day, my wives brother in law (sisters husband) fell from a roof while helping his son install a solar water heating system to someone’s village house, he had no safety equipment (this is China) and hit the ground head first, My wife and I were in the UK at the time tending to my father who subsequently passed away while we were with him so we were unaware of her sisters husbands accident. The local hospital in their county told them he was unlikely to survive the trauma as his skull had smashed into his brain and even if he did survive then he would most likely have severe brain damage, they told my sister in law that the cost for surgery would be around 30,000 $ after the subsidy they would receive from the farmers insurance subsistence, and, the surgery would need to be carried out in Xian; the capitol city of their province a 3 + hour car drive away, she was also told that he would unlikely make it through the night!

My wife’s sister and two children were really shocked by the news and traumatized about the surgery costs of which they did not have, my wife’s sister knew they did not have the money but the children pleaded with her to go ahead with the surgery (the surgery would not be arranged or completed unless the full amount was paid in full), so she went to the village elders and told them the situation, all families within the village put their hands in the pockets, raided their savings and used money they had put aside for next years crops and seeds. Everything was put on the line, all these families dug deep to help my sister in law’s family when they needed it most!

The surgery went ahead, his life was saved, he now has a hole in his skull the size of a tennis ball, he is slightly impaired but he is a father, grandfather and husband again but he has never been made aware of the costs of the surgery and the money owed to the villagers. When May and I returned from the UK, we were told of this situation, they said they did not want to trouble us because we were also going through our own traumas and grief with the passing of my father…But what could we do? We could not see these farming families suffer and not be able to buy seeds and crops this year, so May and I found the money ourselves and we paid them back. Now we are in the same situation once again but this time with my sister in law, we are awaiting information from the hospitals to find out the nature of the tumor and the costs of the surgery if needed.

So at exactly 12:12am yesterday the 12th December I started to meditate, I went through the process exactly as Shanta Gabriel had said, I set my intentions to receive pure light and healing energy, I brought the energy into every cell of my body, I said my prayers for myself, my family, my friends, for humanity and our planet and asked for special assistance to go to my sister in law in her time of need, I focused on her tumor, I started to cough heavily, my throat was sore but I breathed it away, I then received a very deep pain in my side but I breathed that away too, I targeted my energy to her and at exactly 12:24am I opened my eyes and awoke from my meditation (exactly 12:24, 12 minutes meditation, this was amazing).

So my dear friends, I would like you to think of my sister in law, please send us some pure source healing energy.

Namaste with Love

Always

What Do I Have To Be Thankful For today? Thanksgiving should be everyday.

What Do I Have To Be Thankful For today? Thanksgiving should be everyday.

My Dear Friends,

Well, …….Absolutely everything is my answer 🙂

20131206_08520120131203_112129

Last Friday the Pollution levels were so high here in Shanghai, you could hardly see 200ft in front of your face and in some places even far less than that. The PM25 index was hitting a high of 509 Hazardous to health with the notation ‘Everyone may begin to experience health effects, members of sensitive groups may experience serious health effects’ 🙂 This brought massive problems to the Old, the Infirmed, the Young and of course the Empath’s, people like me who can feel changes in the weather, who can feel and even taste the pollution levels before they actually arrive, who start coughing the day before anyone else, who start choking a day before anyone else, we feel the pain earlier… I guess like an early warning signal that something bad is coming; so we can alert our friends and family.

20131210_10361820131210_103815

Well, this morning the sun is shining, the sky is quite blue, it’s still a little hazy but the PM25 index is now down to 167 with a rating of ‘Unhealthy’. So, we cannot dispose of our masks just yet but today is another day, I’m alive, I’m healthy…. so I have so much to be Thankful and Grateful for 🙂
