Reflections: In The Now

Being in the now is a daily task. One can not simply decide to be in the now and then think that they will be in that space without working at it. It is a practice and like all practices, it takes commitment and work. Nature is always a grounding space for me to take myself out of my self and find the quiet within that is necessary to stay grounded and focused on the now.

At times when I can’t get outside and spend time in the vast expanse of my favorite grounding place, the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge, I find a favorite photo of my church, as I call the Refuge, and I open my heart space meditating on the photo.

I remind myself daily that happiness is a choice. Some days are easier than other days, on the path to being the now and that is okay. With daily practice, I have found great comfort in the knowledge that I am responsible for my feelings and actions. Practice makes perfect… While I am no enlightened master, I do know I grateful for the enlightenment I receive in the now.

Reflections: Let Go With the Setting Sun

As the sun sets on the horizon it is always a good time to contemplate the day and affirm the good with gratitude and release the bad with the setting sun. Each day we go through situations that are good, bad or indifferent. Releasing the negative with setting sun, sets up the next day to start with a clean slate.

Releasing the negative with the setting sun also clears the evening of negative thoughts and energy and enables the spirit to relax and renew for the following day. I prefer to release the negative with setting sun, so that I have clear mind and heart for a time before bed.

Daily Affirmations: Blessings

Today, I re-mind myself that my life is rich with blessings and I am grateful for them all, great and small. It is easy to get caught in a cycle of self pity when things are not going according to plan, and when that happens I shake off the tangled web of sadness and embrace the beauty and joy around me. Happiness is an everyday practice.
