Your Personal Power Of Intuitive Resistance
We are constantly being bombarded with new trends about diets, places to live, what to wear, unique ways of exercising, fashionable holiday destinations. This also includes how and when we should leave this realm… despite our own personal inner beliefs, and our connection to spirit whom ultimately makes all our pertinent decisions based on the soul’s guidance system and truth.
Today, more than ever, with access to the Internet and social media, we are continually exposed to every health expert, fashionista and spiritual guru out there, as well as anyone who believe they can tell us how to decorate our homes, where we should eat when we dine out, how to find a soulmate, and what is the best food for our pets. The list goes on.
Rediscover Your Inner Child
We invite you to draw closer to your inner child. Draw closer to the youth that you once experienced in this physical form. For during that period in your life, there was much curiosity, much optimism and zest for living.
You were not weighted down by the demands of your life, by mortgages and financial responsibilities. There was a wild abandonment in your heart. A priceless sense of freedom in your soul. Wandering about your days, free to fill them as you chose. No obligations or commitments. Simply a beautiful state of presence. A beautiful state of oneness with nature.
The Magic Of Otter
Otter loves to play and brings as spirit animal with it the element of play. Many times Otter will make an appearance when we are taking life too seriously. We need to remember our inner child. Otter brings joy and laughter. Often medicine is needed when we need to find our sense of humor. Otter also teaches us to cozy up to new things. We can’t welcome new things into our lives when we are clutching on to the past.
Otter further brings spiritual awareness and devotion. It brings with it awareness of subconscious emotions and psychic abilities. Otter appearing in our lives is a wake-up call to be more aware of emotions in ourselves and others. Otters remind us not to be stuck in worry. Dwell instead on what is positive in life.
The Purpose Of The Ego: A Wave In The Sea
Who are you? You are a wave. The very sound of rhythm—the very essence of sound. You are the first line drawn on the wall of the first cave. What do I mean? Your portrait, is what I mean. When you look into the mirror, do you see yourself or someone else? When you hear others talking, is it your voice or theirs? Is your voice your own?
These are the questions waves must ask. But what is a wave? A wave is a single expression of the collective vibration—a wave is a gathering of energy corresponding within the context of a rhythm. A wave is a beautiful motion, an elegant stroke—emerging from the fluid totality of all beingness, expressing for a brief moment the collective sound from its origin, before returning to it again. A wave is the telling and the trajectory of the soul. A wave is the shadow steeping out of the dark, and then being consumed back into it. This is you. How beautiful you are.
The Power Of Mindful Meditation
You may have heard how great meditation is, but if you don’t try it you’ll never know. Meditation helps us receive intuitive guidance. It puts one in a state where your mind is relaxed and less distracted. It also opens us up to a higher energy source to recharge ourselves. A daily meditation practice of just a few minutes will replenish your mind, body, and spirit.
Few people take the time out of their crazy days to enjoy the pleasures of relaxing meditation. Meditation can reduce stress and anxiety improving your daily life, and as a result improve your health and general well-being.
Meditation can further help you attune your energy to allow spiritual guidance that can help direct you in your daily life. This will assist you with making the right decisions to moving forward in your life.
Be Judgmental
In this age of being politically correct, some might actually stop reading after seeing the title of this blog post. Please don’t. People these days might accept the terms discernment, or judgment call, but never judgment! But there is no problem with having a judgment. The issue is what you choose to do with that judgment (or judgment call, or discernment). What matters is how you respond to your inner voice judging what is happening. It matters a great deal.
If you have been raised to put others before yourself, you have been taught to not protect yourself, but rather to put the needs, wants and desires of others first. The false belief is that this is done in order to protect yourself, to survive. If you have not questioned your past, or worked on learning about, or healing, your childhood (which happened on purpose as part of your incarnation, and therefore is a key element of exploration for you to advance in soul evolution) you will not even know that putting others first is your default setting. It will simply be ‘normal’ for you, while you continue to wonder why certain patterns of you getting ‘slammed,’ or getting taken advantage of, keep happening.
You cannot heal what you do not know. Children of alcoholics, or addicts, or narcissists, or childhood trauma (war, earthquakes, divorce, death, poverty) often learn that they have to suppress who they are, what they want or need, even what they think, in order to become what someone else wanted them to be, in order to survive, in order to live.

Measuring The Moment
To be present within the moment is not observable – it is an experience. This has to be done by action. I have had to consciously practice this due to the intensity of my work, which requires me to be entirely mindful. I have to always work on grounding, and direct action.
If you have to work with the intellect a lot, you also have to do something that is physically stimulating, or that requires at least some motion as often as possible. All the senses can been heightened, yet without any type of motion knowledge is not useful. This is what I believe causes lack of motivation and a sense of disaffection.
This being said, many of us are always working on something, perhaps always in motion from, or towards something. But would mindfulness be something one could act on? I would have to say it is vital to do so.
I love every breath of the wind, every whorl in its wake. Within the stillness of its vacuum, there within, there is my motion. And within the step of one’s foot, there beneath my physical frame, there lies the earth… sighing beneath me, ready to crumble as I test its simplest structure. And as I go up into my journey’s sanctum… there upon the skies… there are always the myriad of birds. There I can see the sum of my knowledge. Continue reading
