Soul Activation/Remembrance Meditation

The eyes are the window through which the soul can see and be seen. It is there that we see the true essence of a person. The soul of every person is waiting to be remembered, to be resurrected and received from beneath the ego. The purpose of this meditation is to awaken the soul on so many levels. Once the soul is realized, then the path of the seeker is a much easier one. There is a clearer vision of what our purpose is, what we have come here to learn and experience, where we are going and where we are from. When the soul is heard and the ego is silent then the persons true self is revealed. In the meditation we gaze directly into each other's eyes and hold the contact for an extended period. What happens is the two souls are like magnets pulled up and out to reconnect and thrive in each other's light. As the souls unite a veil is lifted, guards are let down and the ego surrenders. Soul to soul and kindred spirit to kindred spirit one is able to experience a lightening of the SELF as though a detachment from the physical world takes place. The body is left feeling alive and energised and the soul awakened. Our souls are aching to be heard and healed now, so much more than ever before as time speeds up and we spiral back to source/God. With the help of one another and this meditation that healing can take place.

My Near Death Experience....

It was maybe 6 years ago and I was in a really terrible place in my life, alone and very down. I was searching for reasons to go on, pleading with God or something to save me from this mess I had created of my life to this point. I was laying in my bathtub, no water in there, just a safe little place for me to hide this night and I said that's it - I don't want to live anymore unless there is something for me to live for. I then got out of the tub, weak from hunger and terribly thin, tired and sad and crawled into bed. The next thing I know I'm above my body and I see myself laying on the bed and I am rising up and up - so light and free. I am aware only of the essence of myself, no body - just total awareness of BEING. I was then in a dark place and I was looking around and I could feel other's around me but I couldn't quite see them or make out what they were saying. Then I saw the light at the far end of the tunnel and it was the most beautiful and pure love I have ever witnessed and it pulled me in like a magnet as though I could not help myself. All I wanted was to go there like nothing I have ever wanted in my life and I knew this could not be wrong. It must be like how a baby feels in it's mother's arms, gazing up into her eyes for the first time - that light and intensity they share. Then I heard a voice to my left say, "Stephanie, what are you doing here?" And I looked to see my grandfather and he was concerned, I could tell he didn't agree with what was happening. He said, "it's not time yet for you - you have to go back." I was so hurt that I couldn't go forth, as though I was being rejected form something so wonderful - but I also knew that I had to listen to him.
Then with a jerk I was back into my body and awoke with the most intense hunger like I have never had in my life. I jumped out of bed and bolted to the fridge and started eating whatever I could find in there - it wasn't much. Then I realized what had happened...my life has never been the same. About a week later I met the love of my life, within a year and a half I was blessed with my first child and then my second. I never take life or anyone in my life for granted. I know that there is something out there far greater than we can even begin to realize and I have made it my life's purpose to set as many minds to rest as I can with this knowledge. All a soul has to do is remember from whence they came and where they are going... it is nothing to be frightened of - it is going home and going home is always a beautiful thing.

Life - what the heck IS it anyway?

We all know someone (if it's isn't ourselves) who have been on the eternal search for the meaning of life - to no avail. They spend countless hours reading all kind of spiritual books, meditating, *thinking*, just BEING and yet when you are around them they're just as normal and messed up as the next guy. Here's my take on it all - WE ARE HUMANS - WE ARE MESSED UP - end of story. You got to live, love and FEEL it all down to your toenails. You have to hurt, cry and wonder what the hell you're doing here in the first place! It's all normal. Souls are here to experience and create. That's it. So, we experience everything and no one is left out, no one is better than the other. We are all just having the same experience anyway - just from different view points. No death, just one ride in and out of existance for ever and ever. Ahhh.. yes, now ponder that for a bit. Now get over it and LIVE life because at the end of the day - what the hell else is there to do??

~Finding Freedom Within~

Get a moment of silence, does not matter HOW long it is but that MOMENT of silence - no thoughts in your mind ~ just breathing yourself into total awareness. Awareness is the only place that is constantly pure and waiting at all times. It is there even when things are so INTENSE, when it seems that life is about to explode all over you. You don't have to close your eyes and meditate, you don't have to sit in strange positions or make strange noises - just sit quietly, relax, clear your mind and hear yourself breathe - that is all. You will feel yourself begin to fade into lightness and the heaviness of your body will disappear. You see, you are getting in touch with what you really are - which is awareness and pure, loving energy. This is why finding time to relax is so important- it helps bring you closer to the state which is the most natural, yet is so easily over looked. This IS enlightenment, this IS all there is. People search for years for awakening when the truth is right in front of them, beneath the chatter, in between the noise - if only they stop for a moment to realise. This is what life is all about, finding joy and peace within yourself, but you can not do this when you can not FIND yourself with thoughts crowding your soul making it impossible. It is almost so simple that it can be difficult to believe - love is in you at all time - just relax and let yourself "BE" and freedom will follow.

Will power is your friend...

A friend that I had lost, forgotten about and just ignored. Not nice.
Will power is inside all of us, sometimes DEEP down, hidden WAY beneath gluttony.
Why is it that sometimes we need a good kick in the pants to get moving? To remind us sometimes YOU have to take life by the balls?
(which reminds me: Yesterday I saw a set of VERY real looking balls hanging from the back of a jeep- interesting indeed!)

In the day to day life of non-dualism (ironic?) I think sometimes you can begin to lose sight of your sense of self - which is the whole point. But, there HAS to be a balance found or you can come off not caring about much and letting things just RIDE and play out which ever way. As long as you are STILL mind and body then caring for it is pretty important. Life is like a lightening bolt - there it is....there is isn't! It's so important to treat our bodies with love and respect so that we might be strong and last as long as possible so that we might find as much JOY as possible. After all what is life about? What's the point? I suppose it is to experience, learn, love and create...and to be happy of course!
So what about will power? Well, I think we need this little bit of strength so that we make the right choices and have the POWER to turn down the wrong ones. I wish I had more will power earlier in life but then again I was sleep walking through life for a long, long time. Thank god I'm awake now and thank god a lot of other people are too!

Standing tall against negitave forces...

Wow, you can feel like a little bug about to be crushed. Your mood can swing from intense bliss to the depths of despair in a moment. Your heart can literally feel like it's crumbling into your stomach. It's hard not to hate in times when other people rain on your happy parade! Remember that you really have no idea what happened in the other person's day/life that might have lead to this boiling point. It is NOT your fault (even if they try to convince you it IS), accept that it is what it is - then MOVE FORWARD! I always start fresh the next morning - no matter what happens the day before, how shitty I might feel, how terrible another person's energy might have been. I shake myself off and wake up the next day still shinning, still lighting a path of love and peace for those who choose to see it. You WILL find yourself in the company of darkness sometimes, you can not escape it - it is part of this reality but what you DO with it is TOTALLY Up to you. You can let it EAT you, until yo have nothing left to give to yourself of anyone else - OR you can literally SHAKE it off your soul! Scream, yell, cry and then ~BREATHE~ACCEPT and move on. What are the other alternatives? Sit around festering hate until it becomes apart of you - illness - pain - darkness - Who wants to this? Not me.

Today is a new day - it's a beautiful day so lets say: I am the same person I always have been and that person is perfect and complete, dark souls do not affect me because I am LIGHT - I am LOVE - all it well.

Feeling love for other's...

Many years ago I remember playing a silly game on the bus. When a stranger would get on and sit in front of me I would make sure to NOT look at their face. Then I would imagine what they looked like, really FEEL what it was like to get inside their head. What they were feeling, thinking - I would close my eyes and REALLY become them - it was a powerful exercise. To my surprise it would astound me when ever I came really close to what they actually DID look like when they got up to leave. I had no idea why I was doing this - I thought just for the heck of it. Now I know it was an exercise in compassion and years later I can look someone deep into someone's eyes and feel their soul touching mine. Long before I even knew this was possible - it would happen, but at the time I was not comfortable with it and would look away from people when the energy became to intense. Now I am able to hold that gaze and pull from it so much love and understanding about the person. Every person has the ability to do this, all you have to do is get past yourself/ego. Let go of uncertainty and embrace each other as the spiritual beings that you are and fall into a whole new way of "seeing" - into each other's hearts. If people just did this, this easy thing, this natural thing - imagine how much love would be created!
I had a vision once - I was radiating from source/God/consciousness/ as a beam of light and across from me was another person whom I did not know. We looked into each other's eyes - both very uncertain as to what was going on but then suddenly we both understood. As we gazed into each other's eyes I became fully aware that she was ME - we were one in the same as though looking into a mirror. Then it was over, in a split second I was awaken back to this reality - but with a deep understanding of how there is no ONE person but just one ENERGY - LOVE between all things.
If only we could show compassion for other's and realise that by doing this we are really showing compassion for ourselves.
When you look into someone's eyes - take a moment to REALLY look and perhaps you will see a glimpse of yourself and love shall be created! It is really that easy.

Love

In your eyes there was this light and I fell hypnotised by the purity that spilled forth. And though you did not breathe a word - you knew and I knew what was happening between us. Now this day had opened up to me all of it's meaning in every way possible. I have known for a very long time my purpose but now I fully believe in my destiny. I shall further my dreams and push my spirit beyond the blue skies of this world. I will lose myself as the body and nurture myself as the soul. I intend to heal, to grow and to soar to freedom until freedom falls into my arms as naturally as a sleeping child. -MJLC

Healing Souls...

If you have not come face to face with your biggest issues over the past little while
then they are going to hit you over the head REALLY soon. Life is a circle, everything happens in a circle and if you do not deal with "stuff" when they first appear then they ALWAYS come back in different forms. Until finally they EXPLODE all over us and we have no choice but to take a long, hard look at the situation and ourselves. Souls are searching to be healed and are going to great lengths to do so. Creating all kinds of havoc upon our minds and bodies until we "awaken" and LISTEN. With all the changes that are taking place on a universal level, there is an extreme level of heightened awareness in all creatures great and small. Consciousness is reveling, unraveling and unfolding until there is nothing left - but our true essence. Underneath our "selves"- is where we find our strength to get through difficult times. We almost have no choice but to REACH deep down and find where peace and joy resides. It is not in the outside world, this is just an illusion - a mirror of the mind - it is NOT real. What IS real and what can never be argued is that fact that "YOU ARE". This fact is all you have to know. Just let go of all the words you have used to label yourself and others, of everything else that had LABELED YOU, CONTROLLED YOU and CAUSED YOU PAIN - such as your silly chattering mind and ego. Allow yourself feel emotions as we have NO choice but to do so as long as we are mind and body organisms, but do not let them control you - they are NOT you. Close your eyes and unplug your mind... go to that place in between awake and asleep - that is very close to perfection and how you CAN feel at all times if you allow yourself to just BE. By just BE, I mean to let go of yourself, unlearn all that you were and realize what you ARE - which is total love, light and awareness. This is what you have always been and forever will be. There is NO death, only in mind and body but this mind and body is NOT YOU - it IS just a vehicle that you are residing in to experience life and nothing more. But it gets better than that even, because there is no YOU - there is only awareness - and awareness is in ALL THINGS. Some people call awareness GOD - I believe the bible says GOD is everywhere, well that is true. YOU are GOD/AWARENESS/CONSCIOUSNESS - it is all the same thing. When you sit and REALLY think about this you discover that nothing that you once THOUGHT mattered, matters one single bit. We are just having experiences, we are just here to create and that is all. Change happens, of this we can be sure but under it all WE/AWARENESS/GOD is constant and never changing/ending so we MUST find joy in these limited moments that we have in these bodies with this "life" before they disappear and become something else! This is all our soul is searching for, begging for and when we do this we will find peace. Remember that LOVE is GOD and GOD=YOU=ALL THINGS FOREVER AND EVER. Love is the highest that we can go, it is all around us and IN us. It is the only answer to darkness because love=light. Darkness can NOT reside where there is light. Find the light within yourself that has always been there and forever will be, then you will find everything will just fall into place.

Feeling SHIFTY...

...the earth and my life shifting that it. Been having brilliantly vivid visions of places that are clam and peaceful. I feel changed a little, a tad lighter (mentally if nothing else) and I need to start anew. I need to match my outside with my inside. I awoke yesterday morning craving veggies, I then proceeded to eat a ham and cheese sandwich. I could not finish it and got VERY sick for a good while after. Today I ate a banana and strawberry smoothie for breakfast and a beet and zucchini salad for lunch and I feel GREAT! I am learning that we MUST listen to our bodies when they are crying out to be heard. They speak to us in feelings, emotions and physically - so we quiet our mind and have a good long listen - you can be surprised at what you might hear! I feel this is the beginning of something REALLY good for me, and I can see my goals and I know where I should be, how everything should be.

Poem for my babes...

When I was a young child I questioned everything,
my mind was searching for eternity.
I couldn't see my future, and I questioned all the past,
like a wounded solider buried in the snow.
Then I woke to find myself dreaming and I wiped my tears away,
the dream was done, it was the start of a brand new day.
And I was sure of just one thing,
that I knew love was everything.
Then I stood up straight and tall,
and I felt life and touched it all.
Then I turned to find you in the mist of it all,
and I found love, in all my tomorrows,
yes I found love and no more sorrows.

Now I sit here watching as you fall asleep,
and I know that you have so much in life to do.
I will take your hand in mine and lead you to the sea,
of awakened dreams and a brand new destiny.
Because you are just a child,
and you have so many miles to go and grow,
and learn and see and smile.
I know it won't be long before,
you'll question every mile,
just like I did.
And you will wake to find your dreams
you will see hope in everything,
and if the world comes crashing down tomorrow,
please remember just one thing
love is the only answer,
love is everything.
