Look In The Mirror of The Moment

It is not our responsibility to change anyone, to fix them or to make them feel good about themselves. If we carry someone while they are feeling their lack or wrapped in the arms of a drama, they will depend on you for love and acceptance. This is enabling and they will eventually become emotionally disabled. Once you let go they will be left standing exactly where they were before. If you continue to fix or change someone you are not seeing them as perfect just the way they are.

The kindest and most loving thing to do is to be open and create a safe place for them to feel their pain…..and while they share it with you….
Continue to breathe and say to your-self, “I am here and I am safe”.
Connect with any fear, disappointment, resentment, anger or self-doubt by
Acknowledging any negative charge or judgment inside you.
Feel your own connection to your emotions rising up and while you breathe ... move
into compassion.

We cannot heal anyone, but we can inspire another while we become responsible for our own conscious presence. Awareness automatically connects with the higher purpose.

Once we attain our own peace the moment will become a sacred safe place for gratitude and unconditional love.

This reflection of our life reminds us all that any struggle or resistance is just as important to be with as the joy and beauty.

This moment is perfect just as it is.
Breathe deeply and be here consciously.

This person in front of you, in the moment, mirrors a part of you…..
Instead of reacting….BREATHE and take RESPONSIBILITY.
BE THE REFLECTION and RESPOND with your HEART in mind.

Dancing with Joy!

Bruce and I are taking Ballroom Dancing. We have wanted to do this for years. Like all life experiences, dance brings to us inner connection of awareness and a relationship discovery together.

When we are first learning the steps my past dance experience rises up inside me and I feel a familar comfort, yet while moving with Bruce there is some resistance initially. Because this is a new experience for Bruce, he is counting and thinking as his process of learning is moving through him differently.

Initially we are stiff and awkward together...our knees bump and I go one way and Bruce goes another. Our timing is off and frustration interrupts the flow.

Our teacher is accomplished and he is kind as he guides us without judgment.

In time our breathing becomes the center of our movement and the music moves us into the rhythm. There is a moment when it all comes together and the breakthrough has happened!...
WE ARE DANCING!

When the resistance is gone and we have let go, the music and dance steps becomes joy within us.

Dancing in relationship also takes practice and even when life brings us struggles we can move through them with the intention of finding that beautiful moment together.

Have a wonderful day as you connect with the rhythm of your own dance.
Peace and Love,
Colleen

TRUE LOVE SITS PATIENTLY AWAITING OUR ARRIVAL.

The voice of our ego is misleading.
True Love dissolves the false voice of the ego.
The voice of our higher self is of True Love.

True love tames fear and rescues us from the ego’s power.
Acknowledge, breathe, feel and let go of negative emotional barriers that close our heart to the presence of peace.

True Love is personal acceptance and presence in the moment .
True Love is forgiveness… Begin again and allow your authentic self to live freely.

True love inter-connects our mind, body and spirit, inter-grating our attention and intention.
True Love cannot live with illusion.

True Love does not ask for a thing…
doesn’t need….doesn’t control…doesn’t hurt…doesn’t deny us of joy or peace.

Each event or relationship of struggle gifts us the opportunity to be the keeper of the truth.

Once the awareness becomes conscious, the veil of darkness lifts and the light of compassion can heal a pathway to our open heart.

True Love sits patiently awaiting our arrival.
