The Art of Living...Be the Artist of Your Life Your Love and Your Beauty.


As I strive to bring balance into my life I reflect on the choices that I have made which create the art of my life.

 Balance is a natural state of being. It is inside all of us but gets lost in the chaos of our lives by the choices we make in reaction to how we feel.

 Living a life of balance does not mean that everything is perfect or stable. It doesn’t mean that we don’t have struggle or feel pain. What it does embody is living with life’s natural rhythm and cycles in synchronicity to our own internal rhythms. Balance is a state of being where the various aspects of life and ourselves are working as an integrated whole.

 To begin to reclaim our natural state of balance, practicing the art of being in present time connects us to our body’s own rhythmic patterns. In doing so we are able to hear and feel our body’s subtle movements of synchronized directives that assist in guiding us toward choices, which resonate with life’s ebb and flow. How we choose to interact with this creative process within determines the emotional pressures that we feel daily.

 Living in present time requires intention. And intention requires a conscious awareness to which time zone you invest your spirit in. Are you stuck in the past living in regret, in the future trying to control it or are you "being" in the present?

 Life is continuum energy, we are set in motion by how we respond or react to it based on our perception of how that energy is affecting us. If we are living in states of internal chaos we are unaware of how we really feel and miss the subtle signals that our body communicates to us. 

 So as I sit and struggle to sometimes find my balance I remember that I am responsible for how I choose to be with my energy and the dynamic nature of life’s energy. And in those moments of overwhelming emotion I can choose to unearth my inner knowing of balance within. By bringing presence to the moment and remembering that although I know I cannot control life, I know I can control how I choose to be with it.

 Namaste

When we modify or adapt to serve a new or different purpose, we transform. When we go beyond, rise above, overshadow or eclipse, we transcend what we were and become something new. When we take transformation of our physical or lower perceptions to their highest expressions, the spiritual or higher state of being determines how this energy is directed. The conversion of these energies causes an alchemical reaction that creates a new way of perceiving and experiencing our reality. The "leaden" lower self (body) connects to and serves the higher "golden" self (soul) -  this is the meaning of alchemy.

Uncertainty

When I choose to consciously sit in the uncertainty of the unknown I am brought into present time and into my physical body. Time slows, breathing is deepened, actions become deliberate and words are chosen with more intention. Vulnerability is on edge here in this place of uncertainty. Sensitivity is acute and tears are on stand by, ready to rise to any occasion. Yet, the beauty of this place is the humility and the grace that are the vessels of transportation ready to carry me to the next moment of life, if I let them. To move forward, I let go and let the unknown be my driver. I think about all the ways I try and control and predict my life. Making myself angry that it sometimes isn't going the way I like or a way that has me feeling so uncomfortable. Carrying this inner rebellion is like driving a car with the emergency brake on. The limitation of the ego mind holds us hostage to what the unknown would like to offer. An offering our thoughts have ...

The Seventh Chakra

Location:   Top of head. Influence: Cerebral cortex, upper skull, skin. Associative Color:      Violet or White or Gold   Central focus:  Connection to spirit, enlightenment, self-realization, fulfillment, faith, individuation, humanitarianism, , selflessness, transcendence, attachment. We work our way up awakening each chakra to arrive at a form of enlightenment in the Crown Chakra. This is not a journey’s end, but a rebirth and beginning that which some describe as “Kundalini Awakening”.  Here in the seventh chakra awareness of our spirit is realized and our connection to a more encompassing spirit outside ourselves. This spiritual connection is not religion. Religion speaks to the tribal mind and is associated with the first chakra. When we awaken to the seventh chakra we are open to cosmic energy that is linked with Divine wisdom and thought. At this level the intellect is abandoned and the experience of a “knowing” is realized as is an establis...
