The Daily Way

Do not judge by appearances. This you know, but we are speaking now of judging others’ reactions about yourself. Does it matter? If they are smiling, do you feel better about yourself? If they are frowning, do you withdraw and worry that you have done something wrong? Would you like [...]

Let us explain gratitude to you. It is the remedy to loneliness, the antidote to imbalance. Why? When you bring to mind that for which you are grateful, no matter what it is, the body secretes chemicals that cause you to feel a certain way that you know as pleasurable. [...]

It’s a dance. Back and forth you go, swaying, moving, taking your steps, some of them planned or scripted and some of them free flow. Will you remain rigid in your movements or flow? You can dance alone or with a partner. Oh yes, that is when it becomes a [...]

Wholeness is an inside job. Do not look outside yourself for your completeness. Each human is a whole entity unto themself while still being part of one limitless whole. As above, so below. When you feel you are lacking in some way, what you believe you are lacking is already [...]

It is not that you forgot who you are when you came into human form. You learned another way of being. It served you well for a while as you adapted to living among those who had been in human form longer than you, but deep inside the knowing remained, [...]

Who would you be without the role you have adopted? Your basic role is human being, but beyond that, you have a character type, and oh, how the human sticks to the character. But beyond being human, you are also a soul, and oh, how glorious it is! You shine [...]

Listen. What do you hear? Do you notice how you had to pause and shift your attention to do this? This is how you tune into the whispers from the higher realms, whether they come from loved ones who have passed, guides, angels, or Source, itself, it is a different [...]

We are grateful for you. Do you realize this? All parts of one whole are valuable and important, and that is what you are - part of one whole. Yes, there are billions of you just as there are trillions of cells in your body, and each one of them [...]

Your guides and your higher self are doing their best to protect you from your ego-self. You say you don’t notice, but you do. You notice when things don’t go as you would like. You notice when you try to do something, pushing every button, pulling every string, growing ever [...]

“Nothing I have is really mine.” “You can’t take it with you.” These phrases point to the impermanence of life, and yet we speak of eternal life. All material things are experienced by the bodily senses. What is it you sense without touching, seeing, hearing objectively, or tasting? You have [...]

Processing, processing, processing. This is what your brain is doing every second you are conscious. Is it any wonder you need sleep every few hours? There is another aspect of you that simply knows without words, without thinking. You may call this the mind. Yes, the mind is separate from [...]

Jump to it. That is the human attitude. A thought comes into the mind and you are ready to pounce. Pause. There may be a Part 2. Or not. But things can go awry when you act impulsively. You are conditioned to act on the thoughts that pop into your [...]

It’s about evolution. You came here for the experience of being human and taking humanity to the next level. And what would that look like? Would the next level be the same as this one? No, it would be higher. You innately know that the flow of progress is onward [...]

Upheaval. Do you not realize this is how mountains are formed? Your earthly mother who hosts you in her home holds these up-heaved parts of herself up to you as the grandest examples of divine majesty—the results of the growth process. And what are you experiencing in your world now? [...]

Excuses are the ego’s way. Excuses and defensiveness go hand in hand. Yes, this happened, and now what? Why must you explain yourself? Does the other want to hear it? You likely feel they need to understand your motive. What is most important in an interaction with another? Common ground, [...]

You cannot lose your mind. Mind is a function of Consciousness, your essential being. Mind is the activity of Consciousness … ripples on a pond. The brain processes these ripples into experiences that all those who share a brain understand and agree to label this and that. You cannot lose [...]

Are you willing to flow with what life present to you? The way to know the answer to this question is to examine how you react to the many changes life offers you moment to moment: changes in the body, changes in those around you, changes in the weather, changes [...]

Just when you need it a gift arrives. Do you notice it? Do you acknowledge how the Universe supports you at times without even asking? Just when you need it you have what you need, even if you did not ask. Spirit knows you, for it flows through you and [...]

Are you stuck in one mode of being? Stuck in what you have created? Do not forget that you are a creator-being. It is your very nature to manifest. This begins with visualizing something different than what is present. Things do not have to unfold in linear fashion. Think outside [...]

Your language can hinder or help you. Where you put the emphasis on two words linked together can very much change the meaning. “Expect MIRACLES.” You can feel the excitement in these two words, for you love miracles and the anticipation of them occurring is delicious. What happens when you [...]

Why are you mesmerized by water? Why does it feel so good to sit beside a river, a babbling brook, or the ocean? Part of you recognizes that flow is your true nature. There is an energetic connection beyond your understanding. If you cannot be near water, do not worry. [...]

Why would you not do a favor for another? Why would you not say yes? Ego has many reasons why not. It feels there is not enough to go around. It worries it will be last. What if there were no ego—no sense of a separate self? Why, then you [...]

Every now and then you need a reset. You know how to do this on your computers. You push a button and refresh the screen. All is well. You can do the same when something or someone pushes your buttons, as you say. In this case, the reset comes with [...]

Distractions abound. You may have a goal in mind and before you know it you have wandered in a different direction. Ego loves to distract you. If you were to train yourself to focus on one thing at a time and enjoy one-pointed attention, you might find that ego has [...]

Do you know that everyone who appears in your path is there for a reason? If you could see the intricate machinations taking place behind the scenes, you would pull the thread and find the connection that already exists between you. Even if you never figure it out at the [...]

“What do I need to know today? I don’t know.” These two phrases in conjunction are your salvation. In asking the first question you show that you know you do not have all the answers. You show your willingness to seek something greater than the smaller self for answers, insights, [...]

Every disappointment holds within it a gift. Feel the disappointment keenly. This is how you truly know there is a gift, for it is by contrast that you learn. If you do not like the way disappointment feels, this very discomfort causes you to ask, “What is the gift in [...]

Why worry? It does not change the outcome and only causes you to suffer until the next now-moment is here. You cannot control the future. Ego does not like this lack of control, and so it gives you the experience of fear and concern. What if you simply trust that [...]

When life doesn’t go as you predict or wish it will, what do you do to maintain balance and peace? Find the part of you that never changes. Any words that you place after “I am” are going to change. Therefore, revert to “I am” when you wish to find [...]

What was your motive? Why did you do that thing you now regret? Did you have others’ best interest at heart and things did not go as you planned? If so, then it is not the best use of your energy to be filled with lower thoughts. If you did [...]
