This morning I was awakened fairly early and asked to do an exercise. This exercise was designed to show me just how difficult it can be to stay present within the mind. The exercise also showed me that when we do stay present that messages, meaning, and guidance is abundant.
So I concentrated on staying present and I quickly found that my mind would wander all over the place. Then a voice would ask me, "How does it feel when you think about those things that haven't even happened?" At one point I was feeling sad because I was thinking about this new dog that has come into our lives. I thought all kinds of horrible things that people may have done to her. We are only assuming that she has been mistreated because of the way she is behaving, but the truth is this may be her nature. It's only our belief that someone has mistreated her that's causing us suffering, pain or sorrow.
Then my mind wander into a field of what ifs and the voice appeared again and asked me, "What constructive work is coming from this sort of wandering around in non reality?" I realized then that the only way for me to stay present was to observe what was truly only going on with me at that very moment. After doing this for a bit of time I understood the importance of the exercise. The present is where God lives and when we are present spirit is able to make contact with us. It was through this contact with spirit that energized me, had me up working in the dark hours of the morning. I took my shower, took the dog out and then put her back in her kennel so that I could start/complete my connections.
Things were just clicking so well today I had no problems getting our soup lunch together with plenty of time to spare and just relax. I decided it would be a good time to draw a card. The card was Tav....wow...I could tell that I had completed a very important cycle, but also knew that something new was coming into my space. So I meditated a moment about how my week was ending and what I had learned. I gave gratitude for all of the experience and welcomed rest.
As I get ready for the week ahead I will continue to meditate on the cycle/cycles I've completed this week. I look forward to seeing my grandchildren for Halloween and I look forward to the relaxation and integration period this week coming up. I love taking the last week out of the month just to absorb all that was experienced for 3 solid weeks. It's nice to let go and let God.
Belief Statement: I am relaxed and feel confident knowing that I did my best this week while gaining awareness and losing confusion.
Spirit Statement: I am relaxed and confident being the best awareness and focus.
Enjoy today! Remember to take time out to give thanks for your life, your blessings, and all the things that you are. Remember to start with the small blessings that you can see and such things will grow within and around you.
Love, Dr. V
