For years, I was a world class worrier. I worried about everything. My life, my kids’ lives, my grandkids’ lives, my sisters, friends, neighbors…pretty much everyone. I mean, I was really good at worrying! I began to understand that I was – am – powerless to change very little in anyone’s life but my own. I began to truly understand that everything I see “out there”, including everyone I interact, with is a reflection of me. I see the entire world through my own filters, born in my experiences and beliefs and brought to life in my consciousness.
By learning to listen to my own inner guidance, I began to catch myself when worry threatened to overwhelm me, and return my thoughts to myself, and the “now” moment, where they belong. I have discovered there is a whole world within me waiting to be explored.
This morning I am sitting on my back porch watching my dogs chase squirrels. My tea is hot and comforting. There is a glorious breeze acting as harbinger for the impending change in weather. The harmonies from the wind chimes underscore the breeze and the bird calls. The weather has been wintry but we are experiencing a little warm up. It is Heaven.
Even as I learned to begin letting go of worrying, even in the midst of all the crazy of the last several years, of all the personal transformation, energy changes and fluctuations and so on, I began to have beautiful moments of unutterable peace flood my body. This morning is one of those moments. I am grateful for that as it reminds me that all is truly well, that I needn’t get lost in the small picture, and that peace is priceless.
This is my take away: the beauty of simple joy in quiet moments creates peace. I cannot control what happens in the world – or nationally or personally – but I can help my heart find peace.
And so I am told:
When one opens to the realization of peace, of alignment with All That Is, the perceivable world shifts and opens, allowing one to reset into Oneness. In Oneness, all things are possible.
What you are seeing on the world stage is a last ditch attempt to convince humankind that you are separate, whether it is race, sexual orientation, politics or whatever that divides you. Genetically, all of you are far more alike than not, but the powers that be (for now) believe that keeping you separate, afraid and yes, worried, will keep your powerless. They have forgotten or chose to to ignore Higher Law, believing that they are supreme. They do this for them but their higher purpose is to remind the rest of you that you are all one and there is harmony in that.
As this continues to play out, because it must, know that the tide has turned. Humankind is awakening and Higher Realms rejoice.
Your inner world is vast, and for many of you, largely unexplored. Allow the voice of Oneness to speak to you, opening your eyes and hearts to the new world. Humankind has been taught for millennia to set limits within yourselves. The time for limits has come to an end and we ask each of you to look deeply within and discover that these strictures no longer apply.
There are wonders yet to be seen, there is magic yet to come. Worry is a waste of time, given that the future is fluid and the possibilities limitless. The wonders we speak of are often beyond your imagining. The return to Oneness is a fire, a force that cannot be stopped or denied. That same force dwells within all of humankind. It is yet another opportunity for expansion and growth. Practice allowing your peace to well up in you, seeing yourself immersed in it. Learn to allow this truth to fully return to your human life expression. You have heard frequently that humans are more than they can imagine. This is a necessary step in that direction. As you align consciously with your Higher Self you will find peace and oneness easier to achieve.
All is truly well and we remind you that you mustn’t get lost in the small picture. Peace is priceless and it is yours to be had.
