Intention

New Thoughts, or NO Thoughts! – Really Clears the air!

April 22, 2021 / / "Going for It", Conscious Awareness, Consistency with consideration, GAYA, Honoring Intention

There’s always something to work on!  Always a new way to look at something! I can always make improvements upon myself and make changes which start up a whole new experience in my life to better myself.

I love this side of it!  Here I am, approaching 84 years of age, and I’m nowhere close to feeling like my life is ending, or my thinking has to be modified, or I have to relax more and give myself more leeway.  NOT AT ALL.  In fact, if anything, I put myself  more to the test to uphold new learning which continues to inspire me.  Everything stays fresh and new when one is willing to entertain new things.

I’ve been working with not repeating thoughts…the rat-on-the-wheel kind of thinking which I’m told occupies 50% of our daily thoughts.  Imagine, we are repeating that many thoughts which essentially is saying we are leading a ‘secondhand’ life, right?  Going over and over again, chewing the same old same old, feeling the same agonies and disruptions time and again…and for what?  To continuously punish and flog ourselves over absolutely nothing that is in the NOW.

Fast Forward to Today:  It has been well over a month since my last blog.  I started this one April 1st, and for whatever reason, I had to leave it until today, April 22nd.  In the meantime, I celebrated my 84th birthday.  My son was hospitalized with a severe infection in his arm which, thankfully, has been stabilized and he is now on the mend.  My cat, Tippy, became ill, and she has traveled over the Rainbow Bridge.  For me, these three incidents in a relatively short period of time were enough to process.  What is important in all of this is the fact that I continued to work with “New Thoughts, or NO Thoughts”!  I must say, I find this exercise very liberating and stabilizing too.  I didn’t get carried away…I remained Grateful for all that I have.  I continued to be Hopeful with respect to the privilege of living. I remarked to myself more than once how resilient I felt and when I sat in the silence, I essentially instructed myself to allow only new, healing thoughts about each moment, each occurrence.

I no longer want to allow my mind to habitually dictate  repetitive thoughts and ultimately repetitive actions.  Clearly, I don’t get different results if I continue to behave in a repetitive manner.  Change can’t be avoided as life presents to us, and I can’t instigate change in my life if I don’t grab hold of my Conscious Intention and make sound choices.

Ease in life comes with recognizing how I feel when I am making choices.  It’s like the expression “Let your Conscience Be Your Guide”.  I know when I take the time, when I don’t rush into something, when I allow my body to react and alert me before I make the conscious choice, I am listening to my Essence.  It’s not about listening to the Egoic side of me trying to juggle a win-win.…it’s about facing myself head-on with my big-girl-britches on, and hearing my own instructions.  This split-second thinking rewards me with the relief I feel when I have overridden my Ego which ultimately gives me peace and understanding.

You know how to guide your way.

You are part of that which created you.

Your intention has been with you since you became.

You are right on time.   ~ Gaya

Blessed Be.  To All Be Blessed.  Stay Safe and Be Well.

How Many Lenses Do I Have to Look Through!!!

July 16, 2017 / / Life and Living

This business of keeping up with my spiritual quest is becoming  almost mind-boggling!  I have been going through so much awakening, enlightenment, and  awareness…. I can hardly keep track!

It’s all good, as the saying goes, but in a way, I understand when we refer to “Keeping Up With The Jones’s”!  In my case however, it’s keeping up with so many new and pertinent pieces of information that fit right into my already-established  Forever Life Path.

Growth… it’s all about growth and life fulfillment as I trod the path.

What a wonderful world I am seeing now – yet another lens – my looking-glass of what continues to unfold in front of me, and it beckons me to lap up all the pleasurable experiences I am having along this way.

Things and events, placement of people in my life at the right time, information coming to me the instant I need it, and I am totally aware of this happening to me at that time….tears welling in my eyes as I receive these truths.

My intuition has never been more keen, and I’m trusting the direction I’m going without care.  I know I am going where I am supposed to be going, and I know I am doing what I am supposed to be doing and I absolutely  know it is to my greatest good and that of all those around me.

I have been observing myself and how I am thinking, and I take this direction through this additional lens: my Self can do only that which I love to do, i.e.,publish my first book, UNBRIDLED COMMENTARY…WITHOUT FLINCH! (From a woman of years in “the middle” of her life.);  continue writing  my second book, The Book of Kaye (I AM); hold my friends close to me and always give them the assurance of their place within my heart and my time/space;  nurture myself from the outside in, and the inside out;  and always heed the signs for me to respond to another with encouragement, at the very least.  I deliberately will not allow any fragmentation of my mind.  I am totally holding focus to my  purpose and intention.  

I try to be in the Presence, in the NOW, and I am sure there will be countless more lenses which will present to me as I follow my way with my emotional companions, Ease and Grace.

Blessed Be All.

 

 

My Ship…My Helm…Use My Compass…See My Beacons

January 18, 2016 / / Life and Living

I’ve been trying to excavate my feelings beneath my words these days…to not only feel the feelings but bring them into the light so I can interpret them.

I discovered how absolutely wonderful it felt (while in the shower, of course) to know  my intention was to get back into my morning routine for my peace of mind.   Clearly, if I have peace in my mind there is clarity of thought that provides me with ideas and words that become the action of who I am and whom I am trying to become.

As I stand at the helm of my ship, and look out into the ocean of my world, it occurs to me that I am always looking for beacons (Liferays, if you will), to shine toward me  to show me some direction.  The life inside me stirs and awakens this naturally, I think….if I can be as peaceful and quiet in my mind to be able to ‘hear’ and ‘see’ the gifts that are being extended to me.  By the same token, I, too, send forth beacons that might find places to shine for another.

I’ve openly stated that I write my blog for me first…  it has served as a rewarding and enlightening personal therapy.  As I intuit the material for each article, I am forced to face my words and live them the best way I know how…always learning, always growing.  In so doing, I absolutely know that I am changing and growing in a good way…I know it’s good because I feel extreme freedom and peace as I journey through the whole process.

The windows and doors I’ve opened have allowed a dimension to my life that is proving to be exhilarating and fulfilling.  I have begun sharing ME with an audience. I am amongst likeminded friends and  I now have another way to send a different beacon from my lighthouse.

As I find  my pathway opening up…I am proof that when I intend to make some change, The Universe flings open and sends to me whatever will be to my greatest good.

There’s a subtle caveat within my enlightening journey, however.   As I  move ahead, there are pieces that I want to bring forward with me.  People whom I love and want to keep in my life….Memories that have flavored my soul and softened my hard corners as I learn to accept love and give love.  I have to be careful when I consider all of this, and more than ever keep my eyes on my compass and look for the beacons that are trying to shine toward me.  I proceed in the Faith that my decisions will be made with total consideration and care to the greatest good of All.
