A Spiritual Blog

Archive for September, 2010

I bet you’re all wondering if I have lost my mind.  In what way can spirituality and a handmade felt purse go together?  In my opinion, spirituality is much like a beautiful handmade felt purse.  First, spirituality is carefully and meticulously crafted by people to fit their personal needs much like a handmade purse is created thoughtfully and attentively in order to hold personal items.  Secondly, people’s spirituality is often a private experience held closely with the Creator.   A purse is rarely opened for all to see and is confidentially guarded.

You didn’t think I could make the comparisons, did you?  Well, I still have more to share.

Thirdly, spirituality and a handmade purse are connected because each is unique.  Whether you are praying, meditating, attending church,  or participating in a sweat lodge, no one’s path to God is the same.  It is a unique experience.  When a felt purse is made, it has it’s unique qualities as well…maybe a tassel here or a zipper there, maybe a nub of yarn protruding on the side or a color variation in the design.  Finally, a spiritual journey is a container for the essentials of soul and spirit.  It holds hopes, dreams, desires, and faith.  A handmade felt purse is a container for the essentials of being a women.  It holds….well you get the idea.

Next time you see a handmade felt purse ,remember it’s connection to spirituality.  To what ordinary object can you compare your spiritual path?  Maybe a favorite tin box or a fishing pole.  Who knows?  I’m sure the ideas are endless!

All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become.
Buddha

The Law of Attraction is suggesting the very same thing. No matter what it is that you think about, positive or negative, you are creating those thoughts into an experience in your life. So, pay attention to where you are spending your time. What are you consistently thinking about? How are you consistently feeling while you are thinking these thoughts?
Did you know that you are emitting a vibration while you are thinking and feeling these thoughts? So what are they? If you are in a state of negative emotion and negative thought patterns, you are negatively creating the experience of your life.
If you are predominantly oriented in thinking about life in a positive direction, you are creating positive experiences for your life. If you take the time to see what it is your life has been, many of us will see that we are a mixed bag of the two, so our experiences are mixed
Therefore, if you don’t like what you’ve created, take responsibility for your life. Take responsibility for your thoughts. Take responsibility for your feelings….and turn them around! Become the deliberate creator of your own life! When you come to the realization that you get everything that you get because you have “asked” for it “vibrationally”, you become the powerful creator of your own life experience now.

All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.
Walt Disney

Walt Disney was a master at finding inspiration and using it as a catalyst for manifesting his dreams.  We can do the same.  Use inspiration in any form that it comes in because we are constantly gifted with revelations throughout our day.  When someone says a phrase or idea that makes you stop and ponder, that’s an inspiration.  Follow that phrase and see where it leads you.  If you see a road sign and it catches your attention, that’s an illumination.  Write it down and journal about it.  When you are in a dream state and the dream stays with you even after you’ve awoken. count that as an inspirational gift.  Create a visual journal to represent the dream.

Besides looking for inspiration yourself, encourage others to envision and dream.  If a friend’s birthday is coming up, give her a beautiful journal as an inspirational gift.  Maybe you have a wedding around the corner, how about gifting the bride and groom with inspirational gifts to decorate their new home.  In my experience, inspirational gifts are gifts others remember for a long time.  Be remembered for your thoughtfulness.

Todays Seeds of Intentions Blog is about Les Brown Quotes, “Accept responsibility for your life. Know that it is you who will get you where you want to go, no one else.”

I have come into the experience of knowing this to be true. I also realize that there are steps between doubt and knowing the truth about this and anything.

Here are my feelings about the steps to knowing…..
• first there is fear about being responsible for your life,
• then there is doubt that you can be responsible,
• next there is hope that you are responsible for your life,
• then trust comes about,
• now there is belief that this is so,
• finally you come into knowing that you are responsible for your own life. This is where true freedom exists, and you realize you are the creator of your own life experiences and can now do something about it.
Each step is vibrationally different and is an experience unto itself. Allow yourself to be where you are on any subject. My feeling is, “what’s the hurry”? We are here throughout eternity. Enjoy the process. Enjoy the contrast as contrast is the spice of life. Each step is simply the “launching point” to the next level of knowing.

You can “feel” your way into the knowingness and the acceptance that you are responsible for your own life experiences. You are the sole (soul) creator of your own life.

“Trust that little voice in your head that says “Wouldn’t it be interesting if…”; And then do it.” Duane Michals

What is the value in trusting?  What benefit is there to trusting God, trusting your intuition, and trusting your self?   Well, according to Dr. David Hawkins, there is tremendous benefit to trusting.  The emotion of trust calibrates at 250 on Hawkins Scale of Consciousness.  At the level of 250, people allow for flexibility and possibility.  They aren’t stuck in rigid thought that prevents them from seeing the mysteries in life.  When aligning with this level of consciousness, inner confidence begins and a sense of greater freedom emerges.

When trusting in God, people give their attention to the pulsating life force that exists in and around all things.  This trust brings one into flow with the universe in such a way as to open to all the good life has to offer.  Trusting in God stamps a certainty and confidence with all that is divine.

As an individual explores the concept of trusting intuition and trusting self, a reliance upon inner knowing is experienced.  It is done through senses whether it arrives as sensations, images, words, or sounds.  Through trusting self, harmony and balance are sure to follow.

If you are finding yourself in a place or time that is calling for trust, follow your heart and inner wisdom.  Trust that you are a wise being that has strength and knowing.
