True creativity is the aspiration of beauty without the restriction of agenda Each of us has our own unique appreciation of what is beautiful and within us  an aspiration exists to manifest this beauty into the world , which is the very core of creative impulse. The ultimate work of art that we create is our very own lives , lived to there full authentic expression without the restriction of any agenda. For if we restrict it, trying to gain some recognition or manipulate its

WHEN WE INVESTMENT IN OURSELVES IT PAYS DIVIDENDS TO OTHERS Within the spiritual community we are told to live for others to serve them , and this is because ultimately the act of service is the greatest thing we can do to invoke our expression of love . Yet so often this action of service is coming from an unconscious place of lack , for when we strive to surrender our own choices for others we can unknowingly be creating a secret agreement that we feel they have to adhere t

DON'T SACRIFICE YOUR JOY FOR YOUR SELF APPROVAL Many of us have a list of duties and tasks that are entwined with our different roles in life . The thing that is generally not realized is that we connect our own sense of worth woven into our web of responsibilities, and wether we successfully complete these or not we see as adding or subtracting from our value . We often over schedule our day , not giving ourselves enough transition time or space for unexpected delays , thus

BE DYNAMIC FOR WHEN WE REVEAL OUR MANY FACETS WE ARE RECOGNIZE  OUR MAGNIFICENCE When we are attached to our identity, we don't realize that this attachment is also a limitation of our expression. We invest and build a personality that we become very proud of yet in holding on  to it, we restrict ourselves from spontaneous expression. Who we think we are is actually who we currently are attached to. The identity we have invested in becomes the cage we are in prisoned within 

So often we seek to add to our lives , on a quest of acquisition we believe the more we acquire the richer we are . Therefore we are always looking for what we might gain from an experience , and try and manipulate both the other and ourselves to attain something, often at the price of our authenticity. Yet whatever we gain from this method we pay for with the highest price , for when we are inauthentic in the pursuit of acquiring something, what we get is a match for what we

Hatred is the fear of owning the truth about ourselves Hatred is a very strong emotion triggered by extreme aversion to somebody , action or something that we extremely dislike, yet very rarely, do we stop to actually explore why this feeling arises with such veracity. We mostly seek to avoid it or destroy it. Neither Of these solutions actually work, so when we are in avoidance we restrict our freedom, and when you seek to destroy something ,we poison ourselves and destroy a

Those that we wish to avoid, are pointing to what we avoid in ourselves Every now, and again, there is somebody that comes into you life, that seems to rub you the wrong way, and because of this, we normally seek to avoid them to avoid this irritation. Normally, it is some behavior that we find irritating and so on an every day level, it makes sense that we would either put up with it in a passive aggressive, polite way or avoid it because we feel that it is draining often sa

Each moment of surrender is a moment of deliverance When we are confronted in life with situations that seem at odds with what we wanted we can often lean into trying to change or fix it so that we can have the outcome we choose , yet what if this insistence was actually bringing to us something less than what could arrive naturally. If we are willing to develop awareness in these moments we can notice the part of us that wishes to grasp at a desired outcome and instead take

WHEN CHALLENGED BY ANOTHER ASK WHAT DEFENSIVE BEHAVIOR OF OURS IS ASKING TO BE RELEASED We all face challenges, but they can be more poignant when we are being directly challenged by another in conversation. When this happens without realizing it, we can be taken from a seemingly calm state to a very defensive one. Feeling justified by their domineering or abrasive behavior we start to match it, raising our voice, to be heard. Defending our right to be to an opinion; defendin

In life we are all looking for something that we want and we expend a lot of energy trying to grasp it , and once we have we become so attached to it we hold on to it, often beyond its usefulness. The issues is when we are so focused on getting what we want we don't notice  the things we need . So we gain what we want but it doesn't actually fulfill the need we thought it would . If we can be more open and set a purpose but not attach to specifics , then we are open to receiv

MAKE BOLD CHOICES FOR THEY ARE A DECLARATION OF YOUR MAGNIFICENCE Everyday is filled with many choices we are presented with most logistical and functional and we often pride ourselves in being able to make sensible decisions that align with being responsible and calculated , yet although this is useful way of navigating life it can also miss out on some of the more dynamic possibilities that life is presenting you . Life will give us the most amazing opportunities to walk ou

I'm WATCH OUR IRRITATIONS FOR THE WILL LEAD US TO UNDERSTAND OUR EXPECTATIONS We all get irritated from time to time and most often our reaction is one of three things . We seek to identify the cause of the irritation mostly outside ourselves and then to either try to stop it or enforce change by insistence; or to move away , trying to avoid it which is a form of resistance ; or finally to swallow and tolerate it which is a form of suppression. The trouble with all these reac

As we approach a new year we can think about what we have gained throughout the last 12 months , what we are grateful for , how we have grown and how we have learned more about ourselves and others . Yet there is also another inventory that is less obvious that needs to be taken . This time between Christmas and new Year is the perfect time to reflect on what has served us well but is now no longer necessary and it is time to release. Anything that requires us to hold on tigh

Many of us have a unrecognized boundary that subconsciously restricts our manifestations in every moment . We have decided , with heavy influence from society , culture and community , that certain things are possible for us and other things simply impossible. We live in a limited version of existence falsely assuming that if we don't know howsomething can come about then it can't come about . No matter how intelligent we are if we believe something is impossible we will prev

HOLD SPACE FOR ANOTHER'S SHARING FOR IN THEIR WORDS WE CAN DISCOVER REFLECTIONS OF OURSELVES When we have the opportunity to hold space for a another's sharing we can think that we are being generous with our time , allowing them to process and often unburden themselves. However sometimes this can feel quite draining if they spiral into negativity and we could then start to tune out or to avoid that person . Yet there is another way to look at this exchange. As it is an oppor

THE MOST CHALLENGING STEP WE CAN TAKE IS OWNERSHIP IT IS ALSO THE MOST EMPOWERING When we perceive things as good in our lives we are more than willing to accept our responsibility for them as we see them as adding to our self worth , however where we come unstuck is when we see things as bad for in such a case we believe that they detract from our value and as such we struggle to take ownership. So we can see here that the root of the issue is not the ownership itself but th

WHEN WE MEET RESISTANCE DO NOT STOP BUT WALK THROUGH THE BARRIER OF FEAR TO THE FREEDOM BEYOND When we feel Resistance we often stop and turn round feeling that this is a signal to avoid moving forward. The feeling is often felt in the form of a gut instinct that we have learned to listen to but interpret it in a negative way . We misunderstand what is truly going on . Our gut instinct has been developed as an amazing tool to notify when there is danger ahead , usually on the

CONTENTMENT IS THE RECOGNITION OF THE ABUNDANCE OF EVERY MOMENT Most of us are looking for fulfillment at sometime in the future. We spend the present moment discontented , always looking to achieve some step on our path towards success believing it is ahead of us and because of that we miss recognizing the truth , that it is in front of us in this present moment. If we cannot recognize it externally it is an opportunity to go inside and feel it for ourselves. When we stop an

THE GATEWAY MIGHT BE THREATENING  BUT WITHIN LIES THE SECRET TO YOUR FREEDOM When we are faced with a new stage in our lives we often see it as a gateway that can  seem scary and threatening . The darkness beyond represents the unknown and this can cause fear of what might await us. Often we project that whats within this new stage could be dangerous and to be avoided. So we shy away from the invitation to avoid that possibility. The thing is what we fear are demons in the da

DON'T AVOID CHALLENGES THEY ARE OPPORTUNITIES FOR EVOLUTION AND SUPPORT When we are confronted with a challenge we are often inclined to try and navigate to avoid them, however when we do this we are sidestepping the opportunities for evolution that they offer. Normally we are trying to avoid a loss of some sort, yet we could never loose that which we are. So ultimately the only thing we could ever loose  is what we are not , and that removal will always lighten our load , en
