It’s all about connection.

In the end we realise everything meaningful in our life is all about connection.
Connection with Self.
Connection with others.
Connection with life.
Connection with purpose.
Connection with love.
Connection with awareness.
Connection with trust.
Connection with commitment.
Connection through communication.
Connection with truth.

Every connection we experience, we experience through/within our Self.
We can’t experience if our sense of I Am is not present first.

How much do our choices bring more connection and how much do they generate a kind of disconnection?
This is important to look at and take responsibility for within our relationship with life and our interpretations.

The more commitment you have the more you will enjoy a meaningful life.

The energy of commitment is fundamental within fulfilling our intentions, understanding ourselves and being able to contribute to humanity.

We can raise our level of commitment in various ways:
-practice being in our five senses and our somatic (body sensation) awareness
-practice conscious breathing.
-eat, sleep, rest, exercise; respect our physical body as the house of our spirit.
-make a schedule/timetable.
-raise our level of self awareness.
-practice to STOP and observe and reflect inwardly when we are triggered.
-practice mindfulness meditation.
-do creative things.
-become clear on what fears and belief systems we are learning to release inside us and how we might be able to give back to life.

We can’t help others if we are in the soup of suffering with them.

Build strength, clarity, self worth, self confidence.
Shine.
Inspire people.
Just by being true to who you are, challenge people to step up to your energy level.

Often in trying to help people we can find ourselves kind of being pulled down; joining them in their misery. Like there is some belief that if I suffer too, then somehow that makes me a good person.

If we really want to be of service, we need to give ourselves permission to really protect and nurture our fullest wellbeing.

No one genuinely reaches out for help from someone, unless they sense that there is something in them that is more stable, that is ok and has a strength and clarity of well-being.

Compassion and presence alongside suffering yes, acknowledging yes, but jumping in there too.. that just then makes two suffering people needing help.

Emptiness can be full of presence; loving awareness, appreciation and trust.Or emptiness can be full of lack, wanting, anxiety, resistance and hell.

Don’t use a spiritual aspiration to measure yourself against.
If we are not feeling present and appreciative, it doesn’t mean we aren’t still on our path. We are just at that point feeling the other side of experience.

The universe has us experience both sides of the coin in our human journey, to assist us in our expansion of consciousness.

Everything in the end is to help us orientate to our highest growth.
