For me, I envision a lifetime of conscious living as I more fully awaken to the spiritual being that I truly am. As part of my spiritual journey, I love to search for the meaning of things to gain even deeper understanding. This is what Webster’s Dictionary said about the word conscious: in the “moment,” in waking consciousness, mentally perceptive, alert, knowing subjectively, intentional, deliberate, inwardly mindful, mindful, knowingly aware, aware, knowing oneself, realizing and acknowledging.

We can experience emotional pain when we allow ourselves to feel what we have been holding back for years, but for the most part, living mindfully is joyful as we see the good in others and trust in the presence of a loving God manifesting in us. our lives perfectly.

For those who know me, I am a ‘busy’ woman, but I am learning to enjoy my free time. I see how it is leading me to greater awareness in my life.

Website design By BotEap.comAside from my daily practice is spending time in stillness, in the stillness of my own mind. I spend time in silence when I meditate, which I also call “sunbathing”. It is there that I learn to have space between my thoughts. I listen to that inner voice and wherever it takes me is where I am willing to go. I find that the more I listen to the spiritual guidance I receive, the smoother my life flows!

My heart fills with appreciation as I review in my mind the many ways I am blessed. If there is any resentment or forgiveness work to do, I take care of that too, while my inner being is calm and focused on God’s goodness.

When I follow the rhythm of my own inner drummer, so to speak, I know that I am on the path to a conscious life, and not just doing what everyone else thinks I should do! Mythologist Joseph Campbell says, “If you follow your bliss, you put yourself on a kind of path that has been there all along, waiting for you, and the life you should be living is the life you are living… If you are following your bliss, you’re enjoying that snack, that life inside of you, all the time.” To experience bliss is to be aware of the underlying beauty and meaning found in life, no matter what the circumstances.

I have been using the power of intention ever since I learned about the Abraham-Hicks teachings found on Abraham-Hicks.com over eleven years ago. I see intention work as a kind of traffic cop for energy, directing it and using my focused awareness to bring about positive change in my life and the world around me.

I feel empowered in my life by seeing where my intentions have taken me.

One intention that has been manifested to me is the opportunity to spend time with teachers, coaches and mentors. By spending time in silence, following my happiness, and using positive intention, I can connect with life like never before. I hope the rest of my life unfolds in a way that helps me continue to grow and serve with love and conscience!
