advising us that if we really want to make things happen in
our lives, we need to look within. That's usually not the first
place we take a peek, however, when we want to create change
in our lives. If we decide we want a new career, or a new home, or
even a new world, for instance, we're more apt to check
the classifieds, tap into our network of friends, or join an
organization than we are to venture into the great unknown of Inner
Spirit. Maybe we'll look within later, we promise ourselves, after
we've run out of other options. But first, there simply must be
something we can do.
Blessing is that something. The process of blessing serves as a
bridge between our need to do and our ability to be. Blessing helps
us tap into the unseen creative processes that
bring change into our lives and the lives of those around us by
providing us an opportunity to look more closely at any given
experience and then determine what it is trying to communicate to
us. The act of blessing allows us to acknowledge that we, in
partnership with the Divine, create our world from the inside out.
Ultimately, through the process of blessing the world around us, we
become consciously aware of what is happening on the inside. Simply
put, blessing causes us to look within.
An act of unconditional giving, blessing also acquaints us with
that most Sacred part of ourselves. The energy of a blessing
unfolds from within our imaginings to expand outward into the
experience we envision. We are able to observe both how we connect
with Spirit and how that connection changes the world around us.
Blessing makes us keenly aware of our part in the transformational
process.
Quiet your mind for a few minutes and tap into your Inner Being.
Imagine yourself being "plugged in" into all the wisdom and power
in the universe and then envision that with every breath you take
the connection grows stronger. Just being aware of the power
within us is a blessing in itself. Take a deep breath now and feel
how blessed you are.
Today's affirmation:
"I am centered and connected to my inner spirit. I am blessed."
Today's quote:
"Affirmation of life is the spiritual act by which man ceases to
live unreflectively and begins to devote himself to his life with
reverence in order to raise it to its true value. To affirm life is
to deepen, to make more inward, and to exalt the will to live."
-- Albert Schweitzer
