Synchronicity

Synchronicity

The more we can just be, the more awake we become, the more aware we are of how much we are in alignment.  

In alignment all is effortless, we are like water…this feeling, reminds me of this lovely Chinese poem…translated as…

“Love Times Six  

                   —— Water Ripples

Lapping softly and constantly  

With the wind

Never pausing, never tiring,

Self improving and reflecting”  

 

I keep this poem on my desk, to remind me to be in the flow…How synchronistic that  I received this poem with a gift from my friends in Shanghai when I departed the corporate world to begin my new life, which brings me here to where I am today.

Those words in perfect alignment with my journey.

 

If we listen to each other, we can see our synchronicity unfolding before us.. we are all connected in such a beautiful way, our thoughts, our ideas,  our journeys… sometimes it is as if we are operating  in parallel lives!

 

We are all connected.
Each & every one of us, by just being.

 

So, take a moment, breathe into your brilliance, embrace the essence of synchronicity, by just being, allow all the beauty to unfold before you, as you embrace in the flow of alignment.  

“Sometimes the things we least expect bring our brightest inspiration. 

It only takes a moment to take a breath, 

It only takes a moment to become inspired.” Lois Kramer-Perez

 

….By Just Being

/in /by

We  all make a difference in the world.  Each and every one of us,  makes a difference by just being.

As we each begin to find balance and embrace it, even for just a moment,  all who are around us can experience the same.

As part of the collective, we create the whole.

As we can become peace, joy and balance, we influence all around us to join the experience,

without words, without action,   by just being.

At This Moment

/in /by

At this moment, stop and notice where you are, take a moment to see how far you have come.

This is not about going back and reliving past experiences, but celebrating where you are now in your journey, enjoying the moments along the way, seeing how far along you are at this moment.

When you feel like it is groundhog day – the same old same old over & over again – Stop, breathe, pause, reflect for a moment where you are, where you have been – where you are going.

The best parts of the journey are during these moments, be sure you take some time, to stop along the way, and just notice, at this moment.

Sometimes the things we least expect bring our brightest inspiration.

It only takes a moment to take a breath,

It only takes a moment to become inspired.

Choices

/in /by

I am noticing, how I am reminded that I am in control of me & I have the power to make the choices that are right for me. I felt this theme beginning this weekend, Monday night again and Tues afternoon. When the universe presents information for me 3 in a row, I know something is trying to get my attention.
How often do we get caught in our patterns of
how we “have always done it”,
how we perceive “we are supposed to do it”

Whatever “it is.”

We learn from our parents, teachers, friends, how we are expected to behave, and for those of us that want to feel as if we belong, that want to fit in, that want to do”it”right – we hang onto these patterns.

Last week during Thurs Morning Meditation class we discussed how we respond to feelings.
First we need to be Aware.
Once Aware,we can Notice what is going on.
As we Notice, we can then Respond rather than react.

Now we want to choose to do something different, not the way “it” has always been. Oy, that feels uncomfortable, doing something different. But that is ok, I am changing my relationship to how I am experiencing life, how I am relating to how it feels, making a choice how “I” want to experience life. I don’t want to forget to breathe… I need my breaths. Now, I am consciously slowing my pace to be sure I have my moments to breathe.

Sometimes the things we least expect bring our brightest inspiration.

It only takes a moment to take a breath,
It only takes a moment to become inspired.

 

Looking Through the Lens of Me

/in /by

My last post, as I wrote about my childhood nature, it really brought me back to that place. I experienced all those feelings again. I shared that writing with my inspiring little sister, she had no memory that I was such a fearful child. Could it be she had a different experience than I did, I am sure that it is so.

I was looking through the lens of “me”, she was looking through the lens of “her”.  It is quite enlightening when we come together to get a glimpse each other’s experience. How often are we really aware of each other’s experience, it is quite easy to get caught up in our own patterns from our own lens, especially in the midst of a moment that we perceive as dramatic. Our logical mind can show us how it is not about us, not to take it personally, but our emotions, anxious to get out & show us how dramatic they can be, based on past performances and patterns arise to the surface – wow that can surely shake us up!
I am enjoying connecting to the child within me, not to be so afraid of the “scary things” in my memories, but to connect with the joys, looking through the lens of me & also learning to look through the lens of you…..

Gratitude & Inspiration

/in /by

I have been thinking a lot about gratitude and inspiration these past few weeks. What has come to mind are the people in my life as they inspired me from the very beginning. It is as if I am connecting through my roots, my foundation. I can feel my “Root Chakra“, at the base of my spine, sparkling like a Ruby Jewel. What arises into my awareness is my younger sister, as a child, as I recall her giggles, her spirit, her smile with a twinkle in her eye. She was Fearless! There was no place she would not explore, no person to whom she would not speak. Wow, I was in awe, what could it feel like to be so spontaneous, so happy go-lucky. But, there was another side to her, like thunder-she could explode and throw a quite a jarring tantrum one moment, and then, as quickly as it appeared, (once she got her message across) it would be over.
Now as I recall these expressions, with the knowledge I have gained along my journey- my sister was expressing the energy of “3” Tree! That burst of early morning springtime, a spontaneous, fearless risk-taker, with a side of “Thunder”. I, on the other hand, expressed the “Water” child, emotional, shy, & watery, becoming frozen with fear of the things I didn’t understand, or if they were just too “scary” – such as elevators, “big people”, swimming in a pool or ocean. I loved to be near the water, just was too afraid to jump in! Earning the nick-name “Sara Burnheart” or being accused of “Crying Crocodile Tears” only sent me deeper into watery emotions.

I am grateful for both experiences, my sister inspired me to want to experience being care-free spontaneous & fearless. Understanding the watery expressions I had as a child, gives me a wonderful appreciation of my ability to daydream, get lost in my thoughts and connect to my emotions. I also realize it was no wonder I enjoyed my modern dance classes in those early years of 7 & 8 , rolling around the floor as waves in the ocean or twirling around like ribbons in the wind.
I may not have expressed it to my little sister at the time, but I am so grateful that she is my inspiring little sister.

Breathe into your brilliance ~ explore the sensations around your thoughts, your inner expressions & your earliest memories of our gratitude & inspiration. Sometimes the things we least expect bring our brightest inspiration.
It only takes a moment to take a breath,
It only takes a moment to become inspired.

Sweet Indulgence of Joy

/in /by

Holiday Season is Really Here!
How are you experiencing it?

With lights ablaze from the Christmas Trees & Menorahs – I am finding a very different experience this season.
The undertone of the element water – the element of winter, gives me a sense of floating amidst the firey excitement & flurry.
It is quite a nice sensation to feel these layers &  express each of them as they
embrace me.
Quite an indulgence to express each element, I can be  floating as water, dreaming & thinking, pensive & fluid…
Then spark like a flame, the excitement of lights, laughter & dancing alight..

Yes, the Sweet Indulgence to Experience with Joy this Holiday Season

Embrace the  Joy!

Intention

/in /by


How do you manifest your intentions?

Have you noticed once you have set your intentions – conscious or unconsciously they manifest accordingly?

If you change your course mid-stream – what happens?

Well have I got some stories for you!

If you are in the flow when you set you intention then it is set at a cellular level.

Once that pattern is set, there is nothing to do but just be and allow the rest to happen.

I decided I needed an ipod… I felt the experience of “not lugging” my boom box to my classes, but simply having an ipod loaded with the various background sounds used in my meditation classes.. yes, I really felt the experience, over & over. The following week I received a call that the raffle ticket I had from a recent birthday gift, won an ipod nano!

Here is another twist to this intention… I needed some dental work, so I committed to proceeding, I made the appointment, but the more I thought about it, the more I didn’t want to experience that proceedure. But… I kept feeling it, as if it were happening… nothing was gonna stop this train ride… before I could turn around, & reschedule the appointment for a later date… something happened to that tooth,that forced me to proceed as planned.

In both cases as I thought about these situations, I felt them as if they were happening. I was the star of this movie, & I felt everything as it happened. The more I thought about these situations, the more deeply I set the intentions.

So remember this the next time you are daydreaming, if you feel it….experience it.. it just might  manifest..

Dream, Dream Dream… your intentions, bask in the feelings… and watch what happens!
