Moving Foward

I’m a pretty busy guy with my work and my home schedule I am always running somewhere it seems lately that I am spinning my tires and wasting more and more precious time.  This happens from time to time and sometimes I really need some time to relax but sometimes I can take it to extreme laziness.  Lately I have much to do but there are some things I need to bump up the priority list like writing more, meditating and studying for the big test i have coming up.  The point is I don’t want to be the same person I am now next year, I like myself all well and good but to me growth and Foward movement is a big part of the reason we are here.  So its time to get up and get stuff done, hopefully in a balanced manner but that has never been my strong point.

Time

Lately I have been thinking a lot about time with the new year starting its something I think about a lot.  For Christmas I recived a beautiful wood watch from my girlfriend which I’m simply in love with as its something I have wanted for years.  This gift got me more focused on time and intrested in watches as well, so my place has been a lot of me fixing old watches replacing batteries, putting on new bands and the like.  While I don’t wear my new watch all the time, it’s too nice and I don’t want to mess it up, I have been wearing a watch of some sort more regularly lately.  It keeps me more focused on time and reminds me not to waste.  As I get older I know this for sure, time will pass with increasing speed.  While away visiting good friends in Vermont I was able to spend time with their wonderful children and if I ever need to reminded to stay in the moment and use time to the fullest I find that children and busy parents are the best teachers. 

I hope we all remember to use our time more wisely this year, I know I will try.

Happy New Year

Hello all my friends and family happy we got to make it through to this year, many did not and we are the lucky ones.  I hope your year got off to a great start today.  I spent a lot of time thinking about the year past with all the success and failure, twist and turns.  There is one thing I can say for certain about last year I am glad I was there to experience it and I am grateful to be starting another one.  My hope is that we use the upcoming year to grow together, let go of past hurts, do things we have never done before, help others, try and take care of ma nature a little more and realize how great this life can be and make it a little better for others.  I overall just hope our eyes are open so we can see the good in the upcoming year.  Light and love to all of you as we start this next phase.

A Little Bit of Energy

image

A little bit of energy can and usually does go a long way. While out on a short hike today this was abundantly clear. It was a few dgrees above freezing and the ice that had formed the night before was falling from the trees and landing all around me. Just one degree and eveything was changing, it was magical being in the middle of this subtle transition. When a cloud covered the sun and it dropped a little in temperature the big melt started to reverse. We being spritual beings of energy have the same type of power but we don’t always think about it during our days with all that goes on.  One little smile to a stranger, one hot cup of coffee made for a loved one, anything with the right amount of energy can change the course of a day for someone.  If repeated enough could change the course of the world.

My girlfriend has been sick with the flu for a couple days, I have spent a small bit of energy trying to take care of her.  I was happy to do it and it was very little compared to the joy she brings to my life. Instead of us bitching about not doing our normal running around on the weekend we spent it inside and as our energy mixed we made the best of it and I feel even closer to her than I did before if thats possible.  We all have our own unique energy and ways of doing things and yours can help change something where it couldn’t be changed by someone else.  I have moved more times than I would like to count in the last ten years and while I have always felt comfortable in these places they were never home.  My other half was able with her energy and abilities to turn my current apartment into a home.  She was able to transform this place with a type of energy my half colorblind self does not have in big supply.  Between decorating, cooking and coming together with me her energy gave me a home.

The little bit or even great amounts of energy we bring to life everyday can have a huge impact on the world around us.  Hopefully we are all doing our best to make that impact positive.

What energy will you bring to the table this week?

Snow Meditation

Well the snow is falling pretty good now here in my neck of the woods.  It’s a beautiful time of year the snow blanket saos sound and quiets everything down. It always a magical moment for me when I look up and see the slow motion snowflakes falling down around me. It tends to happen if im in the woods upstate or just running across the parking lot to throw out the trash.  I can also hear the screams of kids waiting to run outside and use thier new sleds and the couples who get to spend some much needed time at home with eachother. We can always complian about the problems it causes, the shovelling and travel problems but much like many things in life its no use fighting the snow so we might as well enjoy what it provides.

Snow angels for everyone

Looking For A Map

“Your heart is your map and your intuition your compass” words to live by that I read in Jeffery Pierce’s Principles of Magick.  Which I highly recommend, this simple wisdom speaks to me. I love teachings form multiple sources and I love to listen but if my heart and my intuition aren’t there with what I am taking in, it is not something I am going to incorporate into my life. Many answers also come if I just sit and listen to myself and clear out some of the rubbish. If something doesn’t feel right I just can’t get my being behind it, if my hearts not into it my efforts will be shaky at best. Thats why I have time and time again gone to people like Jeffery,  I have known him for a while now and if he writes something he seems to live it in my dealings with him.  I have gone to him for his teachings and advice from time to time and he has never asked me to belive anything or do anything that was against my nature.  He more gave me pointers to move along with what was in my own heart. I try to always remember that when interacting with people or doing spiritual counseling. Just because something is right for me doesn’t mean it is right for the peraon I am talking to. It’s always important for me to help people where I can but to force my way of thinking on someone else isnt good for anyone. I know what worked for me and I can offer you a step by step guide of what I did but if it doesn’t work for you what use is it. We are all climbing up the mountian but no two people are on exactly the same path.  Allow others to find their own. 

In your workings with people do you allow them to walk their own path or try and drag them down yours?

Monday Brick Wall or Starting Blocks

Tomorrow is the start of the work week for most of us and how it goes is largely based on the energy we start it with. Many people will start out the day with a defeated attitude and for certain catch a case of the Mondays. 14% of life happens on Mondays so lets try to change it up. It can either be a brick wall that prevents us form really getting going or it can be starting blocks to have us sailing through the week.  I for one am going to try to meet the week with a better attitude see how much I can get done, what I can do for others and see how many smiles I can out on peoples faces.  I hope everyone meets tomorrow with a smile on thier face and happiness in thier hearts.

Different Vehicles Same Destination

We are all going to the same place, all trying to get to the ultimate happiness and this life or the afterlife. So why do we judge so harshly the way others are trying to get there?  We or at least I don’t know whats the best way for someone to get where they are trying to go I am just happy they are on the journey.  There are paths I have been down in my life that wouldn’t work on my journey right now but they did at the time. There are some paths that others are using that I once used or will one day use so why should I judge their vehicle or where they are on their journey.  On my best days I just try to move along on mine and when I see someone with a flat tire I try to help them change it but ifvthey don’t want my help I just keep trucking. I know there will be seemingly wrong turns on my journey but as long as I am moving foward I know even the wrong turns are part of the journey.

Peace

Keep peace at all cost, nothing is worth disturbing your peace.  If we practice a spritual way of life peace will flow through us.  Without peace we can not be of maximum benifit to anyone especially our selves.  The spiritual life is great to talk about and investigative but it is infinitely better when we are practicing what we are reading about. I spent many years just reading without much practicing and could talk a good game but it didn’tnhelp me or anyone else.  Once I started to practice and understand people and life I didn’t really need the big talk anymore.  One of my favorite mantras is peace, understanding, love and compassion.  This mantra transformed my way of thinking it allowed me to remember peace was my true nature and when I had a proper understanding of anything people included I could handle them with love and compassion.  When I truly understand people and situations judgement slips away and I have peace.  Life for me is about serving others while having peace and love in my heart its not always easy and I don’t always succeed but its always worth it when I do.  This doesn’t always come natural to me so I have reminders all over and I try.  I also always try to remember when I am faiking I am still learning and being guided by grace. Doing the dishes was always something I hated then when reading some Thich Nhat Hanh he spoke about doing dishes as a meditation and I tried this practice.  Doing dishes is now something that is part of my practice and keeps me in the moment.  I have used this technique for a bunch of things I never liked and it now helps me maintain my peace.  What do you do that brings you back to your antural state of peace?

Sharing Life

Well I am away for work again which is a necessary part of my job that I am grateful to have. However it gets me thinking as it normally does that life is so much better wheb it is shared sure we share a lot of negatives with each other but do we also share the joys. Sure a problem shared is a problem halfed but I have also found that a joy shared is a joy multiplied. Do you share your triumphs, your success, your passion and the gems in life that you have found?  I know when I am hiking solo and find a beautiful place I can’t wait to share it and drag my girlfriend out to experience it. To be a true family blood or otger I beilive you have to share life not just a roof.  I see it in the relationship my Aunt Paddy has with her children they share a lot together and it is obvious by the joy I see one thier faces when they get together. I can hear it now “but I have nobody to share with” I have felt that way myself in the past.  Try first by sharing a smile with somone walking by, share kife with a coworker, share your home with a pet (rescues please) just share life and if you do it enough trust me you will have peple to share it with.

What joy will you share today?
