All of us have within us the ability to find our inner peace keeper.  Regardless where our emotions are located, we can journey inward toward our soul that is eternally at peace.  Mokey, my kitty, found her inner peace keeper on a warm spring day while I was doing yard work.  She sat in her private stillness for at least ten minutes.  She was in the peace zone and nothing, not even my camera, could disturb her serenity.

You don’t have to look outside of yourself to be at peace.  When you’re in prayer or meditation, imagine you facing yourself.  Look at your heart and see it expand.  Peace resides there.

Sometimes I wear the peace sign as a reminder to find a moment in my day to be like Mokey, like Jesus, like Buddah, like Mother Theresa, like many others….peace keepers.

We received a call today from someone wanting to share her intention and prayer for Eric.  So, we are more than happy to post it here.

The caller’s prayer is that Eric will remain working at his job.

We, at Seeds of Intentions, understand the power of the Law of Attraction ,and therefore would also like to say a prayer for Eric and the woman that called today.  We know that focusing on what you do want is what brings about positive manifestation.  We also realize that there are many people out there concerned about economic stability.

So…our prayer is that Eric and the caller experience financial stability and well being.  May their thoughts be focused on appreciation for the job they have, appreciation for the skills and expertise that they bring to the job, and appreciation for one another.

What we focus on expands?  Focus on what makes you feel good.

If you’d like to leave a comment, prayer or thought for the caller or Eric, please feel free to do that on our blog.

With sincere regards,

Seeds of Intentions

My Serenity Prayer

God grant me a clearness of mind and heart
so that I may walk my path with clarity.
May my spirit find calmness even in chaos,
quietness amongst chatter,
and stillness in each moment.
May the peace that exists in unending supply
be mine today.

 How to find serenity

breathe. Breathe not from the shallowness of your chest, but from the depth of your belly.  Allow your breath to breathe you.  You and your breath are one.  Feel your breath move from the tips of your toes to the top of your head to the ends of your fingers.

be still. Stop…even for just a moment.  Stop the constant movement of body.  Stop the constant movement of mind. Stop and be still.

be quiet. Quietness gives space to serenity.  Its a kind of surrender.  In the quiet, you will hear volumes.

listen. Listen to the wisdom that seeps from every cell in your body.  Listen to your intuition which is life’s best guide.  Breathe, be still, be quiet, and listen.

open your heart. When your heart is open, acceptance has a place to reside and serenity is possible.  Open your heart and allow love to be received and given.  When love is flowing, serenity is the by product.

seek joy. Smile.  Look for moments that surprise you and beauty that is around the next bend.  Find joy because it is yours for the taking.

be one with all. See that the man standing on the corner asking for money is your brother.  See that the woman delivering your mail is your sister.  See that the gentleman in the wheel chair at the nearest nursing home is your father, and the lady selling her pies at the church fundraiser is your mother.  See the earth and all its creatures as an extension of yourself.

One of Thicht-Nhat-Hanh’s  quotes on serenity.

“We can smile, breathe, walk, and eat our meals in a way that allows us to be in touch with the abundance of happiness that is available. We are very good at preparing to live, but not very good at living. We know how to sacrifice ten years for a diploma, and we are willing to work very hard to get a job, a car, a house, and so on. But we have difficulty remembering that we are alive in the present moment, the only moment there is for us to be alive. Every breath we take, every step we make, can be filled with peace, joy, and serenity. We need only to be awake, alive in the present moment.”

Please enjoy this silly ”Serenity Now” montage from Jerry Seinfield.  It will make you smile.

Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.
Leo Tolstoy

You must be the change you wish to see in the world. Mahatma Gandhi

I’ve already written about the meaning of “you must be the change you wish to see in the world”. I encourage you to check it out in one of our earlier blog posts…click here for that article.

In the mean time it’s interesting that Leo Tolstoy has offered the same words of wisdom. What I take from these words is this….humans, by nature tend to look outside of themselves for answers, or better yet…for finger pointing.

The power to change the world lies within each of us. And as described in my blog post about Gandhi’s quote, the power to change is far greater when one focuses on him or herself first. You will be amazed at how you can affect the “vibration” of the planet by simply changing who you choose to be yourself. Do not look to anyone outside of you to join you either. This is probably one reason why our evolution is seemingly slow. We tend to want to change in groups and influence each other to our own ways. This approach is futile for many reasons which are all perfect in their own way.

You need to break away from the approval of anyone else but yourself. Let go of being right and allow others to be right if that is what they need. You can simply let it go. And in letting go, you will notice that an enormous amount of freedom and peace will surround you and build up around you as you practice this way of being. You will also begin to notice that the need to be right from others will dissolve right in front of you as if you have diffused a bomb. This is powerful.

Take responsibility for change in this world by simply being an example of one who changes himself first.  People will come to you when they are ready to be as you are…when they recognize the ease and grace with which you exist in the world.

Finding my way is always fun when huge new thoughts come to mind. Maybe this article will nudge you back or affirm your direction/path/place on the planet.

What if we – being from source, divine, essence of All – you know…

we are all part of deity that has come to earth as a part, in order to appreciate the whole better?

If you are wondering why you are feeling one way one week or month and then flip into another mode, take a look at this article. Those of you wondering about the New Earth, Earth changes, Shift of Earth Energy, Mother Earth “letting go”, your own ascension, enlightenment, or why you just know more for no apparent reason: you are not alone. All these things are related, connected, turned on. We are all experiencing some very new stuff. You may relate to quite a bit here. Please!  Enjoy it!

Your experience of shift has occurred.  It is occurring still in other aspects of life on earth.

Much of your experience now is blessed with new sight.  You see differently.  You feel more deeply.

You connect more intimately from the (heart). Take now and expand the heart for that is where your knowing comes from. This is where your dreams reside and with the refocusing on the heart and away from the (old) memories of the old book of the soul you open the new book of the soul.  In it you find it resides in all of you.

The new book of the soul is a continuous wave that reaches the consciousness of what you call the Divine and tugs at your physical being to be allowed TO BE. This long lost being is found in the heart.  It hears your breath and the rhythm of universal life. It collects vibrations that match your hearts desires and leaves you hungry for more. It leaves you filled to overflowing with love and gratitude, wonder and passion. It flows with compassion and understanding, joy and life itself.  It manifests being from the beingness of al life and connects you intimately with your hearts desires. There is no limit here. There are only limitless bounty and abundance and it has been waiting for you for eons.

The new book of the soul is like no other before. It is the culmination of all that is contrast to what has once been said to be dark or lower vibration. This is enlightenment to the light of love. This is the squiggle and breath that resides so limitless and infinite through all beingness.

The new book of the soul moves and integrates with you and about you filling your cells and channels, your energy fields and those with whom you come into contact. Those is more than what you perceive, whether by sight or to be animate or alive. All is alive. All vibrates the energy of life. You are apart of it all and it a part of you and together you will feel at One.

The new book of the soul is connected and unified. It has neither depth nor depthlessness. It is the source of what you call Miracle. It is the source of the soul itself.

The new book of the soul has pages that are filled with your endless imagination. It can not hold karma. It can not hold memory. It only connects and moves; it integrates and connects. There is nothing faster calibrating, nor faster moving – not even light. This is beyond the Merkaba, beyond the state of mastery; for there is no light that is not shining, nor energy that is not vibrating perfectly in alignment with the source of the soul. There is nothing to master over. For divine understanding is relative and perfect as well.

The new book of the soul will be as coming home at last to the one you love most dear. You are at calm peace. You are confident and serene. You can not “slide” from this place or go back to where you thought you were. It is now and now IS.

The possibilities are endless and limitless. The human form has changed for those who have crossed over to the new book of the soul. We can now share this with you: the new book of the soul is like Atlantis in very small ways. The new book of the soul is how you say, heaven on earth. There is no death. There is no fear. There is only love. From now is now. Watch and know as you connect rapidly with those of your kind, with those crystal beings who were born unto you, with those who have traveled similar paths to come to be at one in what we call heaven on your earth.
It is not with some sadness you might feel regret and some aspects of grief upon leaving the earth you long knew. But how quickly love envelopes you, welcoming you into what you have longed for and prayed for and imagined.

You will find it fun and surprising at first how easily life becomes your hearts desires. It is exactly as if “no” is not uttered you. You become one with all and they feel their divine source through you and so pay service to their own self by serving you and those with whom you connect and who connect with you.

And so a family unlike the separateness you once knew grows in joy and thrives.

This is where your story begins.

This is where we will share the joy of being you.

Happiness Joy Love and Laughter to you!

The idea of  how I show reverence toward  Mother Earth and how I show reverence toward humankind has permeated my thoughts the past few days.  To me, the meaning of reverence is the state of being stunned by the beauty that enfolds in one’s life!

When was the last time you were so touched by the Universe’s  magic that you were brought to stillness and paid homage to Mother Earth’s brilliance?  Summer is a season that I find myself in a continual state of reverence.  Dr. David Hawkins calibrates the emotion of reverence on his scale of consciousness at a level of 500 which is equal to the state of love.

It seems like I’ve had many opportunities to be profoundly awed in the past several weeks.  While mountain biking, I came around a sharp corner and a hillside of wildflowers welcomed me.  I stopped my bike (and so did everyone behind me) because I was stunned by Mother Nature’s violet blanket.  The color was so vibrant and in such contrast to the green of the shrubs and the blue of the sky that I felt it was worth a moment of reverence.

While soaking in a hot spring, my favorite summer comrade, the butterfly, landed on my baseball hat where it stayed drying its wings so my husband could adore its simplicity.  It tickled me at one point and I reached up to gently whisk it away..   The butterfly fluttered for a moment, but then returned to the exact same spot to rest.

I wonder if I am moved to an emotion of reverence by humankind as readily or memorably as I am by nature.  It seems like I am easy to forgive Mother Nature’s indiscretions of the harsh winter or the rainy spring.  Am I as forgiving of man?

What if we were all stunned by the tenderness of another human to the point that we paid homage and stopped our busy lives to show respect to the kindness of another?  What if we honored each other and saw the holiness emitting through daily gestures?

I believe our world would be seen as God intended:  exquisite beauty, a perfect creation, and unending love.  See the love that exists all around you today and call upon the emotion of reverence.  It’s through those moments of honoring others that we find the ability to honor self.

If you’d like to continue focusing on the emotion of reverence and see products that will support your efforts, you’ll want to check out our  our website.  Please click here.

Enjoy this lighthearted, toe-tapping video by Macy Gray entitled “Beauty In The World”. She has visually and musically defined her own meaning for reverence.

I was so moved by this video by the author, Paul Young, of The Shack, that I had to share it! His words of amazing grace and the love of God that is simply available to us all at all times is quite moving. I got all misty just listening to him.

Enjoy! and check out the article by the author of The Shack by clicking here! It is found on the website: GuidePosts.com…for Inspiring Stories. Inspiring People. Inspiring You.

How absolutely perfect that this is coming to you on this Earth Day, April 22nd 2010.! We want to share with you an Earth Day video,  a moving and beautiful documentary film with you.. a film about people in this world who care to heal this world and restore the planet to its natural state of being and harmony with all living things.

The Movie is titled For The Next 7 Generations. Here’s a little bit about it:

Synopsis:

In 2004, thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers from all four corners, moved by their concern for our planet, came together at a historic gathering, where they decided to form an alliance: The International Council of Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers. This is their story. Four years in-the-making and shot on location in the Amazon rainforest, the mountains of Mexico, North America, and at a private meeting with the Dalai Lama in India, For the Next 7 Generations follows what happens when these wise women unite. Facing a world in crisis, they share with us their visions of healing and a call for change now, before it’s too late. This film documents their unparalleled journey and timely perspectives on a timeless wisdom.

Grandmother’s Mission Statement:

“We, the International Council of 13 Indigenous Grandmothers, represent a global alliance of prayer, education and healing for our Mother Earth, all her inhabitants, all the children, and for the next seven generations to come. We are deeply concerned with the unprecedented destruction of our Mother Earth and the destruction of indigenous ways of life. We believe the teachings of our ancestors will light the way through an uncertain future. We look to further our vision through the realization of projects that protect our diverse cultures: lands, medicines, language and ceremonial ways of prayer and through projects that educate and nurture our children.”

Please view the beautifully moving trailer below. After that, visit their website and purchase the movie if you’d like.
