Shifting Into Joy

Every breath is a miracle. Every day is a gift. Everyone is love. (My Meditation)
As I flipped through my notebook to find a blank page to write down my meditation, I saw a few quotes that had captured my heart over the past two weeks. I sat and read each one like a poem, letting them flow. I took a deep breath and with my exhale read a quote. I became calmer, softer, and quieter. The noises that were once disturbing – dogs barking, sirens blaring, cars screeching now seemed like background sounds in the far distance. All I could hear was my breath and my voice. I invite you to do the same and see what shifts in you.
“Be kind whenever possissble…it is always possible.” Dalai Lama
“Our joy in the beautiful is as native to us as breath, a lyrical act where we surrender but to awaken.” John O’Donohue
“Being the shift means that you claim your responsibility and your power for creating and experiencing the world you desire. Being the shift is about being fully present, sovereign of heart and intimate with all life.” Judy Kinney
“So, that cracking, breaking, shattering…that’s the husk surrounding the blossom of your heart. Let it go.” Mariel Hemingway
“Forgiveness means it finally becomes unimportant that you hit back. You’re done. It doesn’t necessarily mean that you want to have lunch with the person. If you keep hitting back, you stay trapped in the nightmare…” Anne Lamont
If want to learn about making space for more joy and peace, please join me for an upcoming Resting in Radical Forgiveness 4-Week Course (starts May 26 at 8p ET). https://www.toningtheom.com/events/?event_id=96
May light shine your path and love be your guide.

What Is Blossoming in Your Life?
Thursday, May 6th, 2010
“And the day came when the risk to remain in a tight bud was more painful than the risk that it took to blossom.”
~Anais Nin
As we celebrate the month of May, let us open ourselves up to all that is blossoming around us and inside us. Is it time for you to open the bud inside and allow yourself to shine?
There are times when hiding our gifts is more painful than sharing them with others. What will it take for you to open up and risk sharing the blossom of you?
Let’s celebrate “blossoming” in the month of May!
“Blossoms are scattered by the wind and the wind cares nothing, but the blossoms of the heart no wind can touch.” Yoshida KenkoHappy Blossoming ~ Mary Anne
