It is through our intimacy with another person that we have the choice whether or not we will experience a truly spiritual relationship. At this level, the only goal is to support the other person as they make their way back home. No strings attached. Outcomes freed. Wounds removed. When I love you as you should be loved, I become one with God, and it is through loving you that I learn to love myself.

This morning I was lying in the bathtub, connecting with the Divine in quiet and relaxation. I was thinking about, who do I want to be in this world, when I looked up at the window and saw the reflection of the sun on the window pane. Although I couldn’t see the sun directly, because the window was too small and therefore the sun was blocked, I was still able to see its beauty as it was reflected off of the wood and this filled me with a sense of peace. It also gave me a clue as to what the Divine is asking me to do. It was if he was telling me that when I find others who are unable to see his light directly, because it is blocked by pain or sorrow, I am to be a reflection of God, to help them to remember that they are loved.

The other day I met God at the level of my deepest sorrow. I knew I had turned a corner.

You come from love and you will always be loved, no matter who you are or what you have done.

One of the hardest things that I have had to do in my life is to look at myself directly in the mirror. By not hiding, I have been able to see with greater clarity those areas where I am not living up to my Divine potential.

I have been craving time out in my daily life for the practise of meditation, and boy or boy have I learnt a lot about myself as a result of this. The biggest lesson that I have learnt is that you can not hide from yourself, if you spend time going inward in quiet reflection. I think many of us, for I know that I have, spend a lot of our time just trying keep our minds and bodies busy in the hopes of keeping ourselves distracted. The payoff is that we are then living life disconnected to ourselves and the Divine.

What are we afraid of, what was I afraid of? Maybe having a deep relationship with the Divine calls for a level of intimacy and vulnerability that many of us are completely uncomfortable with. One needs to have a level of faith in the realization that the Divine never leaves the relationship that the Divine has with each one of us. I know that this may sound obvious to many but for me to know this at a deep level, the level that reaches beyond the mind and that takes root in the heart, has required a deeper healing and a deeper understanding of the intentions of God. Once I realized that the intent behind all that is the Divine is to bring me closer to knowing and seeing the Divine in myself and others, my fear of trusting God with my life seems to have lost some of its grip, and this I am thankful for.

Today at A Woman’s Voice, I read a wonderful post about anger and the role that we play in how it is expressed. This post really hit home, because I have been feeling a lot of anger as of late. This post helped me see anger in a new way. I hope that you enjoy it.

Have trust in the Universe, that it is working on your behalf, and know that you are loved.

Our breath is our direct link to life, love and the spirit of the Divine. It is the vehicle in which pain and fear is released. Breathe and your heart will open.

One can either feel peace or frustration in a state of not knowing. Sometimes we just don’t know what direction in life we should embark on next. It is the emotion that we attach to this not knowing that can cause stress. Peace follows when we realize that when the time comes, the knowledge will follow, and then the direction becomes clear.

Anger can be a direct result caused by the resistance created when the ego and the spirit are at odds. Often times we don’t know why we feel angry, so we look outwards for the possible causes, blaming anyone and everyone within our eyesight. When we allow ourself honest communication with our spirit, it is amazing the potential gift anger holds, causing the blame game to losses its grip. Anger’s job is to tell you that something is not quite right. So next time you find yourself feeling angry, take the time to go inward. This space of reflection will help you to go beyond the ego, so you can become truly open to your spirit’s guidance.
