Forgive / Forgiveness, Healing & Freedom

One of the most loving things we can do for others & ourselves in this lifetime is to practice forgiveness.

The term “practice forgiveness”, is to do it in the best way we know how. We may not do it “perfectly” hence the word practice. Yet to try brings value to not just the other person, but to ourselves, for it is a scrubbing of our spirit that washes us clean of negative emotions.

When we feel injured or find fault with another persons actions or decisions, judgements can form, and resentments can grow. These can cloud our vision and quite literally take up space in both our minds and our bodies. The injury we feel can cause anger, and the negative emotions can make our jaw clench & tighten, and our blood boil. These negative emotions can move into the body, much like a person moves into a house, and not leave. They act up, behaving like the very worst tenants ever, wrecking havoc in the home that is our body.

This can result in “dis-ease” of the body and soul, and will manifest itself in a variety of illness. We can feel fatigue, headaches, and sore muscles. The longer these emotions “live inside of us”, can cause future pains and be deadly in the long run.

The act of forgiveness is both a mental & emotional one, setting the other person free of any feelings that we, ourselves harbor. When we practice forgiveness, we are stripping the soul free, and letting these emotions move on out & through our bodies. The emotions take with them the baggage of negativity we held on to, thus lightening our mental and physical loads. This allows us to see things in a different way, and to focus on what that really matters.

We, ourselves, & our own lives matter. By practicing forgiveness, we are truly loving ourselves. It may take a lifetime of “practice”, but can be worth the freedom and peace of mind.

Create / What is a God Box & how do you use it?

The main idea and concept of a “God Box”, is a place where you can store your written prayers, intentions, & even the future dreams you wish to manifest. You can also ask for help or guidance around a certain situation. If you have a need / desire you want to surrender, and you believe in something bigger than yourself, Higher Power, God, or Spirit, then getting a God Box is a good idea. You will need an actual container with a lid. It can be a box, a can, or even a jar. It can be plain or decorated, big or small, as long as it has a lid. Once you have your “container”, you can write out your wishes, intentions, prayers, and desires on a piece of paper as they come up. If you wish, write them out as a letter to God, asking for what you need. This is a powerful act of surrendering, and letting go . It is a ritual of sorts, and you can choose how & when you do it. I use my God box at least 1X or 2X a week. I put almost everything that I need help with, from big things ...

Create / Feeding your Creativity

Creativity - The use of the imagination or original ideas, especially in the production of an artistic work. Feeding our creativity is like eating a healthy diet with the right combinations of tools and techniques. Getting grounded, spending quality alone time, healthy treats, and music are all good things to feed our spirit & soul with, which can promote our creativity. 1) Getting grounded- Breathe, get connected with nature. Prioritize your physical wellness by getting good rest, eating right, & exercising. Good rest & sleep restores our physical bodies, and that can feel good. Eating a healthy well balanced diet feeds our cells & body parts with what they need, good food is like good gas in our tank. Exercise raises our serotonin levels, and flushes out stale energy from our bodies. This helps us to feel better and stay grounded & more connected with our physical bodies. 2) Spend some alone time & schedule an “Artist Date” with yourself. Accordi...

Love / Prosperity

What is Prosperity? The definition from “Oxford Languages” tell us that Prosperity is “The State of being Prosperous”, and one of the true meanings of Prosperity can mean: “The condition of being successful or thriving” For myself, Prosperity is about having happiness & health, along with wealth, as these 3 conditions support each other beautifully. No matter what’s going on in our lives, we can have that, and many of us already do without realizing it. We are born pure, a clean slate that becomes imprinted from the moment we take our first breath. We become disconnected, and our “clean slate” can and often does get imprinted with negative beliefs and thoughts that can keep us from our true source. The capacity of prosperity, deep joy, and health is within us, but how can we take hold of it and keep it on a day-to-day basis? 1). Awareness: This means taking a real & true look at one’s-self, life, and conditions. Writing it all down can really show us what we are dea...
