Courage – An Embodiment Practice

Today I choose to be vulnerable. I am open to experiencing my vulnerability for I know it is the first step in practicing Courage.  I don’t need to go anywhere or do anything.  I give myself permission to feel deeply all the things I care about and commit to act upon them so I may have a life well lived.  I know that to live a life well lived requires me to access my vulnerability and in doing so I choose to be courageous.  As a Warrior on this journey called life, I know that there can be no courage without vulnerability.  So today I choose to be Courageous; with my beloved, with my future and with all manner of unknowns that draw me to new frontiers.  I am willing to break the dead shell of yesterdays, to risk even when I am terrified.  No risk No Courage. So, I risk – for the deep privilege of being and feeling fully alive.  I am willing to be courageous as I lose myself to find myself.  I choose to love myself by being courageous.

 

And so it is.  Amen!

A Practice of Gratitude – For Any Time of Day

In the quietude of this moment, I claim for and about myself gratitude, simple and humble gratitude for the countless blessings in my life; those of which I am aware and those of which I am not.

The unfolding wonder of life shows up in every aspect of my life.  Even now, I am so grateful for this body temple that flows with vibrant health, vitality and wholeness.  I am so utterly grateful that through this body, I get to feel love, sense hurt, appreciate gut intuition.  Oh my goodness, how wonderful I am made.  

Harmonious energy flows through every organ, muscle and fiber of my being.  Every vital organ knows exactly what to do and does so with mind blowing precision.  Every neuron fires at the right time and I am overflowing with health and gratitude.

I’m grateful for the beauty that surrounds me.  To every individual in my life, I say thank you for loving me, for sharing yourself with me, for inspiring me and for uplifting me on days when I could not see my own inner beauty. All manner of good is flowing through me and all around me. 

My mental body is clean, my emotional body is pristine, my financial affairs are abundant and in order.  I  am flooded with gratitude, knowing that all is well in my world.

I sit in peace and surrounded by blessings. All is well.

A Practice for Wishing Others Well

From the womb of my heart, I send a blessing to all beings on the planet, to all creatures and elements of nature.

From North to South, from East to West, may all beings be free from suffering and the causes of suffering.  May all know Joy and Peace, the peace that passes all understanding.  May all beings rise, flourish and know safety and security in their environments.  May they have clean pure water to drink and a plentiful supply of food.  May they know love.

I know that their safety, their health and Mine are inextricably linked because we come from the same Source.  I therefore give thanks in advance for the many blessings that shall occur upon their lives, simply because where others suffer in the world, my world is also affected.  I know that there cannot be peace Here and not There.  We live in one world.  

Just as I desire peace, compassion, understanding, forgiveness and joy, so do all beings everywhere.  I therefore speak out loud the Word for the benefit of the lives of all beings.  

May all of our highest potentials be realised in this lifetime and may we all live in Harmony with Life.

And so be it.

A Practice for Beginning

As I go within, I sit with full intention to clear away the crass, the irrelevant and the complicated which has been a barrier to my Freedom.  I know that within this temple there is everything I need to take the first step in any endeavour and to relinquish all fear, procrastination and what-if-ness.

I open my heart and mind to finding the beauty, joy and perfect knowing in just Beginning.  There is no-thing to fear here.  There is only joy in beauty and beauty in joy and perfect knowing in all of it. I affirm my commitment to Beginning.

And so, I take the first step, I am not ashamed that it is a baby step.  All I know is that it is a step and it counts as me taking action in reclaiming my divine freedom and ultimate happiness. 

I relinquish the parts of me that have relied on the opinions of others, societal trends and an addiction to drama.  These parts of me have been gainfully employed for years and I am happy to say now that “they are now out of a job”!

I am no longer afraid to let go, since these redundant parts of me have nothing new to offer.  I now step into all manner of Actuality, Possibility and Potential.  Doors now open where once there were only walls.  I declare that I have now begun a new chapter of my life, turned a new page and new pathways emerge even as I speak.

I give thanks knowing that I have done the right thing and all is well.

An Affirmation practice to start your day

Breathe in deeply, breathe out slowly. Relax your shoulders and your jaw. Find stillness before you read the affirmation practice below out loud.

As my day starts, I turn within to give thanks for the joy of simply being alive.

Thank you Life that I wake to see yet another day.  Today I continue my journey to be my greatest yet to be. I know all of that is available to me because every day is a tremendous blessing that is to be used for my good and the good of the world.

So here I am.  Use me.  Use me as your instrument, so I may know the joy of being chosen and used by you.  I now  make myself available to experience everything that is available in Life; the good, the bad, the indifferent.  For I also know there are lessons abundant in every aspect of Life and I open my heart to learn, to feel, to act from a place of knowing with all of my lessons learned.

I feel Life so strongly seeking to express through me, as me and all around me, so into this zone I enter knowing that Life seeks to know itself as me today and everyday.  There is a quickening happening within me from my head to my toes.

I now affirm that heaven is right where I am, all manner of good is already mine.  I open my mind and eyes to see what is in store for me and I call it forth knowing that it is good and very good.

With ultimate gratitude and appreciation, I simply let it be.

Thank you!
