For me it is early Monday morning and the whole weeks lies before me like a new journal without a single word on any of its pages. When I think about the week with that realization I know I can write anything I want on the pages of the days to come.

So as I sit here I imagine it is Sunday and I am looking back over the week. What do I want to see there? How do I want to feel about this little block of linear time called last week?

Do I want to look back and smile because I was able to bring joy into someone’s life? Do I want to have a profound sense of gratitude because I spent most of the week profoundly connected to my spirit, fed by the sweet nectar of that love? Do I want to feel a sense of accomplishment because I finished all the tasks I wanted to get finished? Do I want to have savored every moment of the precious gift of life?

Once I know how I want to feel next Sunday I simply need to make choices moment by moment to make that so.  Each day I set my intent and get clear about what I DO want to create. Each night I review my day.  I gently and lovingly notice if I need to adjust some of my choices, release any emotional baggage or make amends to someone for being less than loving.

The more consciously I make my choice the more magnificent my days become.

So what are you planning to create this week?

With love and aloha,
Susan

The basic intent of the Toltec tradition is to change your point of creation from your mind to your spirit or as Castaneda referred to it, shifting your assemblage point. When you create your experience from the level of your spirit magic and miracles literally become a way of life and fear becomes a wonderful guidepost.

When I am safe and snug inside the bounds of my filter system fear acts like a herding dog, keeping me in line. When I shift my point of creation fear becomes an indicator that I am moving in the right direction. Granted it is a different kind of fear but it is fear none the less.

I often talk about fear based fear and love based fear. Even though they are both ‘fear’ they feel very different. When we are connected to our spirit fear is more love based and isn’t like the monsters under the bed that terrified us as children. Often the path I am guided to by my spirit is unfamiliar and may seem to lead to the edge of the cliff but when I take that leap of faith I can always fly.

So what is your real intent? To avoid fear or to have the faith to follow your spirit’s gentle guidance? I recently watched Wayne Dyer’s movie, “The Shift” and in a round about way it talks about the same thing.

I often say we have two choices, love or fear. I guess what I am saying today is we have a choice how to use fear, either in a loving or fearful way.

Aloha,

What are you going to create this year? What is your intent? This time of year I like to look back, review last years intent and observe, gently and lovingly my results.

Many people in my life changed address (died) last year and my life is very different. It is amazing how death can give you such a profound sense of gratitude for life. I was able to hold my dads hand as he took his last breath.

I have been practicing using my breath a lot lately. Breathing in love and breathing out anything unlike love. Each breath is a gift of life from our spirit and I find acknowledging that and allowing myself to feel that at a profound level changes my experience of life as well as the way I ‘see’ life.

A connection with our spirit can only occur when we quiet our mind and step into the stillness of our spirit. The ability to that while immersed in the busyness of life is one of the greatest skills we can acquire.

So what is your intent for this year and what actions are you going to take on a daily basis to make it so?

With love and aloha,
Susan

Aloha everyone,

When I first moved to Hawaii I held classes on healing the inner child. Interestingly enough 20 years later I was asked to speak at a The Center for Spiritual Living in Waikoloa on the month that the theme is the divine child. So I decided to speak about the divine inner child. Funny how things come full circle.

Whenever I am asked to speak I begin to meditate on the topic and I am often pleasantly surprised by what comes up. I may try to record the talk and post an MP3 on my web site.

I know most of my readers live all over the world, but for you lucky few that do live in Hawaii I invite you to join me on December 6th, at 9:30 AM. The service begins with a meditation. The Center for Spiritual Living meets at the Waikoloa Elementary School Library (at the end of Paniolo Avenue in Waikoloa Village). Meditation begins at 9:30 a.m. Regular services begin at 10:00 a.m.

• Center for Spiritual Living
• Waikoloa Elementary School Library
• Waikoloa, HI on the Big Island

Hope to see some of you there. And by all means pass the message along.

With love and aloha,
Susan

Aloha everyone,

I just finished the a tele-ceremony for All Hallows Eve. If you would like to listen to it just click here. I do it as a guided meditation so you can listen to it and participate at the same time.

I hope you enjoy it.
