"Praise love for this moment, in its perfection." ~ Isha Judd

Praise Love for this moment in perfection...

This is the first of four facets in the Isha Judd system from the book Why Walk When You Can fly?, Soar Beyond Your Fears and Love Yourself and Others Unconditionally.

Feeling into this thought and placing it deep in my heart is having a transformational impact on my life. It has the power to awaken me to the present moment, pulling me out of the web of my intellect, seeing the world through new eyes.

 Sometimes I don't feel anything, other times what I feel is profound.

Today I fell into a magical few moments, when a dark feeling, loosened its tentacles in the light of this first facet. Instead of feeling strangled by self judgment, I knew/felt that everything in this world had its perfect place, including my fearful thoughts and feelings. No longer in resistance to what was, I relaxed, and what seemed so painful, softened into love....yes, everything really is perfect...

 I am practicing loving all of me, even the dark parts that I hide from the world. Allowing vulnerability and accepting all of my humanness brings me peace, and helps me sleep better at night!

Could it be that simple? Sometimes, yes....

Loving all of us, every part...

"It's just a thought and a thought can be changed." ~ Louise Hay

The above statement sounds simple and easy to do.

But having enough self awareness to realize that we are having a thought and feeling a certain way because of that thought, is a big accomplishment! Why is this so? Because we are so identified with our thoughts that we believe that that's who we are! The constant companionship of our mental chatter gives a false sense of security too.

Learning how to meditate is a time tested way to realize that we can detach from our thoughts and take the role of the Witness. If we practice enough, we don't need to close our eyes and focus to have this awareness. As we go about our daily activities we get better and better at realizing the link between the thoughts we are having and the way we are feeling. We know we can gently release the worm that is burrowing into our well being.

It is a great awakening to realize that we can consciously detach from a negative thought and  replace it with a positive one! We will feel better immediately! Transitioning from being a victim of our negative thinking to realizing the Divine Power we have all been given to consciously create our lives, is the journey we all signed up for.

So what is rumbling around in your mind at this moment? How do these thoughts make you feel? See if you can register the feeling as a physical sensation. Know now that you can let these thoughts go...they are not what determines your reality! You are much bigger than your mind! Allow those thoughts to be replaced by the loving, joyful and compassionate ones that are always whispering to you from the depths of your beautiful heart.

Peace.
