No matter the places that we go, where we may look;
Remains the same, perception of this book.
Like an open cover, reading the contents set forth;
Turning pages of life with directions to the north.
Our thoughts may trip us, block us, keep us in fear;
Soon to find ourselves from nowhere to now here.
I lend a hand to another, the hand reaches back for mine;
What is done to another is done on time.
Letting go of my own;
Accepting a higher perspective.
No longer afraid;
No longer objective.
It just is;
It is so.
Stepping into the Canvas with a bit of rhythm in our step. No matter the pace, no matter the direction…we are free to roam where our hearts take us so. Just for today step out of a comfort zone, step out into the unknown…be fearless, be inspired…to go where you have never before…Ani Po
Every interaction is an opportunity to either spread Love or Hate and only takes ONE WORD to do it. Choosing appropriate words will determine our vibrational interaction. Hate vibrates at a lower level, being that of destructive forces. While Love vibrates at the highest of levels, creating only more Love.
In Power vs. Force, David Hawkins discusses different levels of vibration, breaking down our choices into simple power words. Another idea is that our words attract more of what we speak. The Secret, discusses the Law of Attraction, teaching us to redirect our thoughts and attracting more of that which we want. Warning us of redirecting our thoughts and words to only use “Power Words” to get what we want in life. Our thoughts lead to choice of words, which in turn creates the life around us. There is no magic formula to this Law, but will work every time. Change our thoughts and words, and the Canvas of Life will surely return the favor.
In the Four Agreements, Don Miguel Ruiz discusses Toltec Wisdom at its basic level. These four guidelines, if followed, can lead to a happier and simple life. He discusses four agreements: Be Impeccable with our word, Don’t take anything personally, Don’t make assumptions, Always do our best. While all are beneficial, he emphasizes the greatest of these being Impeccable with our Word.
Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and Love. How does one person change the words they speak? Re-align your thoughts to that of Love.
There was a man who was at the top of his game and thought he was pretty special, until one day he met a gypsy who told him he was very negative and needed to change his ways. ”What are you talking about? I am not,” explained this man. She explained, “While you are kind and giving to the people around you, you hurt the ones closest to you. You speak negatively towards your wife, use her as the brunt of your jokes. I know she is strong, but every word, great or small, has an impact on the people around us. The more negative baggage we have to carry, we become weighted down by our own negativity…projecting on all we meet. If all you are sending is negativity, that is all your wife will fill her bags with. From this day forward, only speak of Love to her…try it for a week and see how much you speak.”
The gentleman accepted the challenge, thinking it would be easy, but realized how negative he was, as no words came out of his mouth for that week. Re-aligning his thoughts and speech, he began looking for ways to speak in loving kindness towards her. Imagining raising her upon a pedestal, the atmosphere began to lighten and Love began filling his home once more. He continued this for six months, even in the darkest of times. Six months went by and his wife came to him saying, ”I do not know what has changed you, but I Love you now…more than ever before. Thank you for always making me feel good! I Love you!” With this surprise discussion the man learned a valuable lesson in life, receiving confirmation that there is always a spiritual solution to every situation. The solution here resulted in a happier home life. He also learned that if he can change with just one person, why not expand this knowledge to more people. He went on to be the most positive person around. Still not perfect, but able to stay positive and learn quickly from the many lessons that present to him. He further understood that every encounter is an opportunity to be the Best person he could be…returning us back to the lessons of Don Miguel Ruiz…do your best.
Another story is of a homeless person begging for change, for the simple feat of filling his stomach with nourishment. Being blind, he could not do anything but sit there waiting for the sounds of money hitting his tin can.
One day a woman, walking by, wrote something on his sign and walked away. That day the man got more in one day then he had in a whole month. What did this woman do? What did she write? Her words changed his reality into something he had never realized. Let’s watch this great video by Purplefeather, and see the power of words in action…
Stepping into the Canvas re-aligning our thoughts into words of intention, creating a life we dreamed of. Our thoughts control our actions and words. But if we only know what we know, oftentimes we remain in our own misery. Whatever our thoughts will be our words…change them now. If they align with negativity we emit negativity. Aligning with only positive thoughts, actions will automatically become that of positivity…Walking in positive thoughts, sharing only that of Love. ”Change our Thoughts, Change our Life.”
Try it just for a week…see what happens…
A Spiritual Solution To Every Situation
It is said…there is a spiritual solution to every situation. The problem lies not within the situation, but within the solution. We live in a world where everyone is too busy to see the brighter side of things. We live in a world too busy to allow another to pass us. I invite you now to sit and contemplate the busy schedule of our days. I invite you now to take in a breath…absorbing all the Canvas has to offer…
Are you Listening?
It is I who speaks, but you have failed to listen.
It is I who listens, but your words have no meaning.
I am everywhere and everyone, but yet you spit and curse my name.
If you only knew who is there besides you, you would no longer cut me off.
If you only saw the perfection, you would no longer take life for granted.
If you only felt my spirit, you would learn to Love as I do.
See me, Feel me, Hear me, For I am all there ever is.
Love me, Forgive me, Help me, For I am the Lost as well as the Found.
Heal me, Hold me, Comfort me, For I am the sick as well as the Healed.
…Look out your window now and see me, For I am all there is to see.
Stepping into the Canvas in Spirit, removing flesh and applying the spirit…In doing so we instinctively travel mindfully and purposefully. For every situation throughout our day, see the solution hidden within the Canvas of Life.
See the Spiritual Solution to every situation…Change our thoughts, change our life…
In reality there is no magic formula. Many will try to sell us one, but still remains a mystery as to what the secret to life may be. The truth is…the only formula is…there is no formula…only intentions. Our intentions become our reality. That being said, our reality could be a continuous changing event. Those who embrace change…find happiness; those who do not…well more lessons of life to come their way.
Not sure if this mirrors your life, but I cannot begin to tell you how many times I have tried something new, only to move on or back to something I loved doing…going back and forth yet again…endlessly. For me there is wisdom in this back and forth behavior…just when I think something is the way…it is no longer the way and I return back to the basics of life…being happy with what I do. Through indecisiveness, we find decisiveness. Our confusion comes from listening to everyone else and living the life they say we should. Instead consider living the life you choose to.
When things are not going our way, sit and contemplate the next move. The magic formula resides within ourselves. Don’t be afraid to ask for assistance. Asking for guidance or assistance…guaranteed it will present itself. Our thoughts become things, but it is through our intent and our actions that drives our thoughts into reality.
Think it, breathe it and know it to be true. Think it, act upon it, making it a reality. ~Ani Po
Stepping into the Canvas with a magic Key. The key remains, and always will be, within the self. While others may be the catalyst, realize the answers have always been inside us. The key to our success is not the amount of money we make, but how we make it. The key to our happiness is not how we attain it, but how we accept it. Insert the Key to Life’s many mysteries…turn the key…and live in paradise.
