The Unlocking of Spirit

Sometimes in our life... the people that enter our lives can give us that thing that we truly need. Sometimes our needs have become so suppressed that not even we can see or feel them.Then someone comes and frees us in a sense. They allow us to move around in our own self-imposed prison.They touch us in places that unlock our spirit allowing it to take on a new meaning. It is scary and exhilirating all at the same time. It teaches us the lesson of time and space and how truly sacred it is..It teaches us that in order to become more of ourselves, we must get out of our head's and explore..Exploring our own feelings, exploring those things that make us feel alive. Dreaming and Imagining are great tools, but living and doing are better, living and doing allow us to connect to the human experience, to become a part of it and feel it, breathe it and embrace it.

I am an observer of life, I love observing the things that make me feel good, I get a sense of being a part of the entire experience, it allows me the chance to see that in which I would like to do, up close and personal, it teaches me of the beauty and harshness of living.

It teaches me that being a martyr is something that I am not..because a martyr is someone who loves people in vain and does not get anything for themselves in the process. I get joy in being able to see growth in myself and the people around me..it tells me that although I live at times beyond the rainbow, that to get to happiness in ourselves we must endure the growing pains..We must allow ourselves the space to endure the pains in life while still dreaming...it is in those moments that at the end of the day..truly allow us to feel life and all of it's beauty and complexities.

The unlocking of our spirit reveals places that we have left dormant for way to long..it gives us the opportunity to fill thoses spaces with self-love, self-respect and God's grace and mercy...

So this week ladies , allow yourself  the space to explore your feelings, it will afford you the opportunity to unlock places in yourself that you aren't even aware of....

Go Forth and Do Amazing Things This Week!

Kind Regards,

Pauline

Walking On Water

Image
Pauline Respress, M.Ed., We can learn a lot about faith by watching a mere leaf float on water. The leaf calmly floats even though it is surrounded by a vast amount of water. The leaf is not flailing it is accepting where it is and embracing it. This is much how I see faith. I see the spirit as the water and my physical self as the leaf.  My spirit guides me as to where I need to be, but I must trust my spirit to carry me. We become frustrated with our lives when we fight and begin flailing in our spirit. The spirit encamps us, it is our true north, but we must become like the leaf and allow it to guide us. It is a union that we must seek, in order to become one in ourselves. True faith is born out of understanding this union. When we can become silent enough in our heads we can marry the two-- and become stronger in our faith. And then when God leads us to a place, we must activate our faith and dive in--understanding that he will never allow us to sink. We will either floa...

We Must "Be Love" to "Have Love" ....

Image
This journey is teaching me a lot of things, but the most profound lesson that I have learned is that in order to have love in our lives, we must be the love that we want to see. It is easy to be hate, because hate does not require much work, hate does not require-- practicing forgiveness or understanding or compassion; it merely requires finding reasons to not do the work required to get to more love in our lives. Loving at times --can be messy, it requires letting down all of our guards and diving into unknown places --while abandoning all of our fears and reservations. Loving is an action word, it is the rolling up of our sleeves and allowing ourselves to be vulnerable enough-- to take the punches that sometimes accompanies getting to love. We all come equipped with artificial guards that protect and soothe us--they are the warm blankets that protect us from the world. But sometimes in order to get to more love-we must be willing to lower our guard and share the love...

Paschal's Wager

Image
Paschal's Wager is a suggestion posed by French philosopher writer and mathematician, Blaise Paschal, that clearly rationalizes (for me) our belief in Christ.  Paschal believed that in deciding on accepting religion we must first view it as a wager, betting on the fact that God exist and if he doesn't we lose nothing. If he doesn't we have lived a life that is guided by the teachings of Jesus Christ and we have lived as though we have faith, we have also lived an enriched life that is based primarily on love. Some may argue that this rationalization is far-fetched and that they cannot place all of their belief in something or someone that they can not see and that the teachings are merely dogma that people use to hide behind. But for me --I'd rather hide behind love than not--I'd rather be guided by principles that enrich my life than not. What is the alternative? living a empty shell of a life that anything goes and that is guided by our own insatia...
