12 Ways to Bring Peace into Your Days by Dr. Paulette Sherman | OMTimes Magazine




Tools to Bring Peace Every Day


We often feel that peace is something outside of ourselves that we can only feel while on vacation or when surrounded by monks at a monastery. The only sustainable peace in our modern world is the kind that we create within ourselves, daily. What follows are 12 tools that can help to bring peace every day:


Tool # 1: Meditate.

Meditation is a great tool for shutting out worry and distractions. By focusing on a mantra or the breath, you can return to a state of inner peace and hear the still voice of your Spirit.


Tool # 2: Bathe in Unconditional Love & Peace.

Although the term bathe is a metaphor, a tool called sacred baths allows you to bathe in peace and unconditional love from your home bath. In The Book of Sacred Baths, people learn how to use visualization, meditation and affirmations to attract their dreams and to shift into a state of peace while bathing in this energy. But you can also learn to bathe in unconditional peace anywhere by doing a meditation where you imagine all the ways that you give and receive peace and love.


Tool # 3: Be Present.

Most worries are about the past or potential futures. We feel peaceful when we entertain thoughts about the present moment, which is the only thing that we can do something about anyway.


Tool # 4: Practice Soothing Self-Talk.

You are with yourself 24/7 so you can create your own peace or disturb it with how you speak to yourself. Practice being your own cheerleader, learning to soothe yourself and speak lovingly to yourself, no matter what is happening.


Tool # 5: Stop Caring What Others Think About You.

It is enough to manage your own thoughts and feelings but it is not your job to imagine what others think of you. The only thing you can control is you. So, the next time that you begin to wonder what others think of your hair or job, catch yourself and say, ‘That’s none of my business. Let me choose a positive thought about that instead.’


Tool # 6: Set Boundaries.

Learn to say no, so that we can say yes to the things that really matter. We all only have a certain amount of time and energy so we can make choices that serve our highest good. Many people feel restless because they aren’t living the lives they want. Say no to things that drain your energy and that don’t align with your Spirit. This enables you to say Yes to the things that do bring peace to you.


Tool #7: Check that your Values & Lifestyles Match.

You may feel troubled in your life when your inner and outer visions don’t match and you feel your life has little meaning or passion. So, if you value creativity or helping people, make sure you are at least doing hobbies in those areas or volunteering.


Tool #8: Practice Forgiveness.

Carrying around anger from your past is draining and can cause you to feel sad, or wounded. When you’re able to forgive, it brings a state of peace and wholeness. This can mean forgiving another person or yourself so that you can walk through your life with lightness.


Tool #9: Let-Go & Laugh Often.

It is hard to feel peaceful when you are attached to a particular outcome. It is important that you take time to surrender your desires to spirit. Ask for what you want or something better, for the highest good of all. You cannot allow your peace to be dependent on anything outside yourself so be willing to surrender those desires. Laughter is also a terrific stress relief as it fills your body with joy and peace.


Tool #10: Embrace Imperfection.

Being perfect is impossible and it keeps you focused on what is not working. It is hard to feel peaceful when you are looking at what you need to fix. When you accept that it’s okay to be imperfect, you can be peaceful even when mistakes occur or when you have a learning opportunity.

Tool #11: Count Your Blessings.

What you focus on expands. You will feel peaceful when you are in a state of gratitude. So, take an inventory of all that you love about your life and life in general. Journal about things you are grateful for and bring peace daily.


Tool #12: Choose Love over Fear.

You can choose love or fear in every moment. Fear leads to a state of constriction and dis-ease. Love allows us to feel open, trusting and at peace. The next time you are faced with a challenge, ask yourself how to view it through a state of love and peace and act on that guidance.

Commander Ashtar via Natalie Glasson: Taking Responsibility for the Future of the Earth

This and the next post came to my attention over a week ago, but it wasn't until today that I could "hear" and assimilate the information, due to some challenges and stress in my personal life. I've been going through a great emotional and physical purge this weekend, letting go of situations and patterns that no longer serve me, as I get back on track to heal, raise my vibration, and be in service. ~PB

Let the peace in your heart and soul develop, igniting a space of pure truth within your being. I am Commander Ashtar.


I oversee the members of the Galactic Federation of Ascended Masters, known as the Airborne Ascended Masters because they travel throughout the Universe of the Creator upon a spaceship being of service. I am Commander of the spaceship and overseer of the work of the Ascended Masters dedicated to this service.


It is our mission to be in tune with the divine inspiration and guidance of the Creator, so we may understand where within the Creator’s universe the most tremendous ascension shifts and transformations are taking place, what is required to support the evolution of the Creator and how we can be of service.


We are present at every major transformation where a being, community, country or even civilization is shifting into greater embodiment of light. We support each moment by lending our energy, anchoring appropriate light codes given to us by the Creator and healing any stress or strain that may surface due to the awakening taking place.


We also have a purpose of travelling through the Universe of the Creator to deliver wisdom, information and sacred truth to whoever comes into our awareness as guided by the Creator. We are a healing team, an awakening team of the truth of the Creator and a team which supports the deliverance of sacred knowledge.


The light tools we hold upon our spaceship are immensely powerful. However, they can only be used to support the evolution of love. Some of the information we hold is concerning the light technology of the future of the Earth and the inner planes.


If you wish to understand the future light technology of your world, then you can ask during meditation to visit us upon the Galactic Federation Spaceship. We will assist you in accessing the light technology, sharing information of how it can be recreated upon the Earth as well as supporting your protection if you wish to bring the light technology into the earthly reality.


We will not tolerate those who wish to misuse the light technology and light technology plans we safeguard. When a soul wishes to visit our spaceship or access the sacred information we store, their soul is evaluated to ensure their intentions are pure and that their greatest desire is the evolution of the pure love of the Creator.


We invite you to visit our spaceship in meditation if you wish to view and perceive a glimpse of the light technology which will be used by all upon the Earth in the future, as well as understanding the future ascension of Mother Earth and humanity.


Light technology is very different to the technology you experience upon the Earth now. Light technology can manifest in physical forms, semi-physical forms or energetic forms. Whatever form it takes it is formed from light and holds the purpose of creating more light. Light technology always has a purpose of acting as a support for the spiritual evolution of all, aiding unification with the Creator and mastery of all dimensions of light.


Light technology supports, inspires and empowers only. Crystals act in a similar supportive way to light technology, for example, a crystal can awaken your inner healing energy, store wisdom for you so that the same wisdom can be reactivated within you when you need it, as well as supporting the strengthening and empowerment of sacred qualities within your being.


The crystal never does the work for you, it will never overpower you so that your intentions or inner power are no longer needed, the purpose of light technology is the same; tools that aid your ascension rather than achieve your ascension for you.


Each individual upon the Earth taking responsibility for their own existence and ascension process is the future for humanity. There are many light tools and technology which will be gifted to humanity, however, there is a need for humanity to step into their power in order for the light technology to truly manifest upon the Earth.


Taking responsibility is not solely looking after yourself and your needs. Taking responsibility for your existence and your ascension is accessing the power within you. By this, I mean recognizing how powerfully present the qualities of truth, love, peace, harmony, unity, understanding, generosity and expanded consciousness are within you.


Realizing that when you are in align and attuned to the sacred energies of your soul, you are in your power, you become the creator of your reality. This means that negativity, pain and harm no longer exist unless you choose to consciously or unconsciously welcome the experience into your reality to support your evolution. When you take responsibility you rely on your inner energies, abilities, power and wisdom to support you.


Therefore you do not need or require anything. That which you do require can manifest into your reality with ease and perfection from your empowered thoughts. When humanity takes responsibility, they will recognize that the energy or source they are is present within all beings. To harm another only harms yourself by lowering your vibration and dampening your connection with the Creator.


When you harm, you are believing in separation, and this impacts your soul causing chaos within many of your systems. Humanity will realize that experiencing unity within with the Creator and all aspects of the Creator will actually empower their presence and existence upon the Earth allowing the victim consciousness that many hold to be released.


Victim consciousness is not only being negativity targeted, you are also a victim when you give your power away to those in positions of authority in your world who may not have your best interests at heart. To become the opposite of a victim, an attacker, also gives your power away.


It is only when you align with your truth, your inner power and sacred wisdom creating that which you wish to see, feel and experience using your powerful mind, feelings and energy, you will take responsibility and see the changes you wish to upon the Earth.


To transform the world around you from within your being rather than taking physical action may seem a strange concept or it may be something you wholeheartedly believe to be true, however, have yet to experience evidence that it actually works. To take responsibility is to trust in yourself, to be guided by your inner knowledge, which is the voice of the Creator within you, and to recognize your energetic powers even if you have yet to experience them.


“I take responsibility for my existence upon the Earth and my ascension process by aligning my entire being with the truth, power and essence of my soul. I create the reality I wish to experience from the wealth of Creator vibrations and power within me.

“I support the transformation of the Earth and negative creations of humanity by recognizing the truth within me and projecting my light filled with wisdom and love into the world. The reality I create within me forms my physical reality around me.

“I now recognize the power and strength of my mind, the expansive knowledge I hold to see beyond illusions and the potent light I can emanate which with my intention can create anything I wish. I am in my power, aligned to my truth, I take responsibility for being my sacred essence upon the Earth.

“Commander Ashtar and the Galactic Federation I invite you to support, heal, inspire and guide me now. Thank you.”

When humanity takes responsibility technology will seem pointless, and light technology will be gifted in its place, empowering the truth of each being. You will then begin to realize how intelligent you are as a human being because your soul and mind will merge, this will create tremendous expansion within your mind which will encourage your mind to contemplate and accept light.


Within light is such advance, valuable and illuminating information, knowledge and wisdom. Each person will be able to access this wisdom and will become expansive, open-minded, highly intelligent and profoundly spiritual beings. This is when illusions will fall away and truth will be available for all to access. The world would then transform dramatically. However it all begins within you.


Taking Responsibility for the Future of the Earth by Commander Ashtar


I, Commander Ashtar, wish to share with you that at this time we, the Galactic Federation are gifting souls upon the Earth with a pod of peace which will act as an activation of peace within your being as well as sharing wisdom of peace.


We wish to share this with you to support you in awakening peace within, enhancing your experience of inner peace as well as creating peace in your relationships. Whether it is your relationship with yourself, others, a past lifetime, a fear, in truth whatever is needed.


The energy we provide will act like a puzzle piece restoring peace where it is necessary to aid your further acceptance of yourself and inner transformation. Simply call upon my energy, Commander Ashtar and invite me to deliver to you a pod of peace to activate peace within your being, to share the wisdom of peace and to aid peace within relationships of all forms.


We are supporting every ascension and empowerment step you take,


Commander Ashtar

Are You Using All of Your Tools? By Jennifer Hoffman | Enlightening Life

Are You Using All of Your Tools?
By Jennifer Hoffman | Enlightening Life

yard_bags

Every life experiences comes with tools and information that we can use to create the next step on our path. Often those tools don’t look very helpful, we don’t know we have them, or we don’t know how to use them. And sometimes they come from a source that we don’t think is helpful, so we don’t recognize them as providing us with the tools we need because they’re often the least helpful people in our life.


Moving forward faster (and that’s a relative term) is easier when we look at all of our experiences expecting to find useful tools to help us on our next steps. Then we have to use all of them with the intention of becoming more efficient and effective in how we clear our path. I got this message this weekend when I was using yard tools my mother gave me to clean my yard and realized that I wasn’t using all of the tools to create my outcome (getting all of the leaves picked up). Once I realized I had all of the tools I needed and formulated a plan to use them more effectively, I finished the work in record time.


My mother gave me her yard tools when she sold her house. One of the tools, a big leaf blower and vacuum, would be helpful with my annual leaf cleanup. I have a big yard and lots of big trees, that shed lots of leaves every year.  But she didn’t show me how to use them, she just handed me a plastic bag with the attachments and instructions. I put everything in the garage, put the bag on my yard tool holder, and forgot about it.


Every year I would get the leaf vacuum out and clean my yard. But the vacuum was slow and I had to empty the bag every few minutes. So I would just clean up my garden beds and leave the rest. According to the instructions, there was a blower attachment but I couldn’t figure out where it was or how to use it, as I thought it was part of the vacuum attachment. After searching online for directions, I gave up and did the best I could with my rake and leaf vacuum.


yard_blower

This year I was determined to clean up all of the leaves and as I got started, I heard the message ‘Are you using all of your tools?’ I found the blower attachment, hanging exactly where I had left it several years before, figured out how to use, and with the new leaf scoops I bought last weekend, started  on the yard. With the right tools and process, I made lots of progress today and will achieve my goal of cleaning my yard this year.


yard_scoops

I had all of the tools, even though I didn’t know it, and I wasn’t using them together in the best way. And when I had asked my mother about the blower, she said she didn’t use it so she didn’t know. She had all of the tools too, but she wasn’t using them either, mainly because she doesn’t like yard work and did the minimum possible.  I like yard work and I wanted to get it all done.


Discouragement, fatigue, fear, and overwhelm make us forget that we have all of the tools we need. Instead of looking at a big job from the perspective of how long it’s going to take, it’s better to look at our own resources and come up with new ways to use the tools we have. It all depends on how we view a situation, our skills, our gifts, and whether we have confidence in our abilities.


Here are some questions to ask so you’re using all of your tools as productively, effectively, and efficiently as possible. Whether you are doing yard work or contemplating the next step on your path, using all of your tools will get the job done much faster.

  1. How are you judging the situation? Judgment blocks energy flow, so if you’re telling yourself how much you don’t like something, or how hard it is, how you wish you didn’t have to do it, or questioning your abilities, you’re blocking the energy flow that you need to get it done. And your judgments prevent you from uncovering the hidden value in your tools.
  1. What tools do you have and how can you put them together in new ways? Every lesson has a blessing and every experience teaches us something. You may call something a failure but now you know what you don’t want to do. What are your take-aways and how can you use them to make new choices and decisions now? Knowing what you don’t want is a very powerful time and energy saver.
  1. How can you create a better flow for the energy? All manifestation happens faster when the energy flows, meaning there are no blocks or limitations. Whether it’s your thoughts or what you’re doing in each moment, if you create a flow, things will move. I used all of the tools to clean my yard quickly, by using the blower to create piles of leaves, the leaf scoopers to quickly fill the bag, and the vacuum to pick up the smaller pieces. How can you create a better flow by organizing your thoughts, releasing the ones that don’t serve you, and replacing them with more powerful ones?
  1. Are you asking the right person for advice? I thought my mother would be helpful, since it was her yard tools but she didn’t know because she only used what she thought she needed to do the little bit of yard work she had to do. Someone who liked yard work would be more enthusiastic and interested in helping me figure it out. If you need advice, seek out a reliable resource who is as interested in the situation or outcome as you are.
  1. This is the most important — be confident and stop trying to be perfect. There is no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’, there is only the best way for you, and everyone has a different standard of perfection. When we seek perfection, what we really want is to be ‘beyond reproach’, to be so good that no one can judge or criticize us. We only have to do what is good enough or perfect for us. And you are confident when you believe in yourself and in your abilities, when you are aligned with your outcome, and know that you have all the tools you need to do anything you want to do. If something isn’t working, try something else and when you stop judging yourself, you open up the pathways for the energy to flow.
Are you ready to use your tools to create new paths in your life? It helps to remember that you are unique and you will always do things your way. You can’t copy someone else’s results that you think are fabulous, and maybe judge yourself because you don’t think you are capable of that, but you can create your own, unique fabulous results. And once you know how to use your tools to create the outcomes you want, you can use them again and again, achieving better results each time because practice creates perfection.

DAILY OM ~ December 10, 2014 Affirmations: Words of Wisdom





Our minds accept as truth the critical statements we tell ourselves, but it can also accept our positive affirmations.


DAILY OM ~ December 10, 2014
Affirmations: Words of Wisdom

by Madisyn Taylor


The words we speak and think hold great sway over the kind of life that we create for ourselves. Many people live their lives plagued by negative thoughts and never even realize this. They tell themselves and others that they are doomed to fail, not good enough, or not worthy of love, yet they are amazed when their reality starts reflecting these words. Just as the subconscious mind accepts as truth the critical statements we tell ourselves, however, it is also equipped to instantly accept the veracity of our affirmations.


Affirmations are statements chosen and spoken consciously. Once they enter our realm of consciousness, they also enter our subconscious mind where they have the power to change our lives. The affirmations you create should be specific, not too long, worded positively, formed in complete sentences, and spoken in the present tense as if what you are affirming is already true. It is a good idea to repeat your affirmations daily. You may want to tell yourself that you deserve to be happy or that you are in control of your destiny. Or, you may want to focus on a particular goal, such as attracting new friends. Rather than telling yourself you want to be well-liked, say, “I am well-liked.” Your subconscious mind will pick up on these positive messages, and you will begin to live your life as if what you are affirming already has happened. Soon, your reality will begin to reflect your affirmations. If you find that you are thwarting yourself with negative thinking, try repeating ! your affirmations several times a day. Write your affirmations down and say them aloud or in your mind. Allow your conviction to grow stronger each time you say your affirmations, and your negativity will be overridden by your motivation and positive thoughts.


Affirmations are a powerful tool for creating our desired reality. We consciously and subconsciously invite opportunity into our lives when we say affirmations. Trust in the power of your affirmations, and you will very quickly create what you have already stated to be true.
