Inner Peace Quote: Eckhart Tolle

February 22nd, 2010

“It seems that most people need
to experience a great deal of suffering
before they will relinquish resistance and accept
– before they will forgive.”

- Eckhart Tolle

New Year Creation

February 18th, 2010

Below are four related processes for a clarifying your 2010 vision. Since each of us is wired differently, it’s useful to find the most effective visioning strategy for you. Some people LOVE to write goals, others avoid the process. Some love details, while others are big picture people. Some people LOVE visualizations, and yet others do best in verbalizing their dreams to others. Which style or styles resonate with you?

The most important element in crystallizing your vision is finding a medium that allows you to connect “emotionally” to your vision. We often identify goals and visions intellectually, yet find ourselves disassociated and not inspired to achieve them. The juice, inspiration and magic unfolds when we are “emotionally engaged” with our visions.

If you desire an amazing relationship, how would you FEEL if that partner was already in your life? How would you treat them? What activities would you enjoy together? If you desire a thriving business, what activities would fill up your day? Who would you spend time with? How confident and decisive would you be? If you desire a fit and trim body, can you imagine yourself eating healthy foods and looking forward to visiting the gym? What would it feel like to be 15 pounds lighter? If you desire a year filled with INNER PEACE, what practices would you relax into daily? What would you say “no” to? How would it feel to bathe in bliss at any moment?

Yes/No List…

February 17th, 2010

With all the choices available to us each day, month and year, how do we optimize our path? To help me clarify my focus for the new year, I added a new ritual — the “Yes/No List.”

Knowing what I want to say YES to consistently, and what I want to say NO to consistently, is proving a valuable compass over the last several weeks. Every time I bump up against a “choice point,” I go inside and see how my YES/NO list could nudge me.

To create your own Yes/No List, pull out a sheet of paper, drawing a line down the center. On the left column, label it “YES TO” and on the top of the right column, label it “NO TO.”

Then allow the inspiration to flow. (I spent a week or so contemplating my yes’s and no’s…so when I got to my sheet of paper, it was a breeze.)

Here are some of the items that made my YES to list.

“Let yourself be silently drawn
by the stronger pull of what
you really love.”

Inner Peace and Love – The 5 Love Languages

February 12th, 2010

People express and receive love in different ways.  Dr. Gary Chapman identifies these as “the five languages of love”.

1.  Quality Time – Attention, quality conversation, time spent together doing something meaningful or enjoyable. Time is Love.  Attention is love.

2.  Words of Affirmation – “You are beautiful”.  Words of acknowledgment, encouragement, or appreciation.  “You are a giving, loving, kind, warm person.  I love who you are”.  Words of affirmation are words of love.

3.  Gifts - From big to small.  Flowers.  Gifts.  Cards. Cars.  Houses. Jewelry.  Stuffed Animals. Clothing. A gift can be a great gift of love.  Some people feel most loved with a gift.

4.  Acts of Service - Cooking dinner, washing the car, running an errand, cleaning the house, helping with a task, time spent in contribution to another.

5.  Physical Touch – Affection.  Massage. Making love.  Of course, everyone has their favorite way to be touched.  And, touch equals love to many.

Knowing these 5 Love Languages allows you to GIVE and RECEIVE love from others more fully. Of course, we all can appreciate and enjoy each “love language”, however there is typically one or two that make you feel MOST LOVED.

Which one is your primary love language?

How do YOU show love toward those you love?

What we tend to do for others, is often a clue to what we enjoy receiving most…

Inner Peace through Acceptance

February 8th, 2010

Accepting YOU or Accepting YOUR EGO?

Ok, let’s face it.  We LOVE it when everyone in our lives loves and accepts us unconditionally. That’s a true friend, right?  Or is it…?

When we’re running late or irresponsible, and they don’t give us a hard time.  When we’re a mess emotionally, and they listen to our “story”…over and over again, and continue to offer their support.  When we’re PMS-ing (aka “being bitchy, whiney or needy” for women) or “isolating” (for men).  I appreciate it when others overlook my flaws and the poor emotional states I’m in, AND still want to spend time with me, accept me and love me.

Have you ever gotten frustrated with someone, when you thought they weren’t “accepting who you are”? I’ve had that experience more than once.  I thought, “Gosh, other people seem to accept me as I am, why can’t THEY?”

Then it dawned on me.

Inner Peace Quote: Dogen

February 3rd, 2010

“Meditation is not a way to enlightenment,
Nor is it a method of achieving anything at all.
It is peace itself. It is the actualization of wisdom,
The ultimate truth of the oneness of all things.”

Dogen
