Inspiration

Inspiration is spirit within. It can come from many resources. When you become sensitive to that connection to inspiration you will find so many great gifts that come to you. This is a talk and meditation on Inspiration.

Transcript

A very big Aloha!

My name is Reverend Cindy Palos and I wanted to talk about inspiration.

I think it's important when there's turbulent times,

As there has been for a while now,

To remember what inspires us.

What brings us to that point of spirit inside?

That's in spirit.

What's your spirit within and what brings you to that place of spirit?

And then to be able to go to that very sacred place within,

In spirit,

And to allow it to speak to you,

Allow it to lift you.

Now the interesting part about this is that I'm a Buddhist.

I took my Zen precepts many years ago,

Many,

Many years ago,

And I love the people and the study of Buddhism.

But Buddhism kind of has a middle path and you stay there and you just,

You know,

You sit.

And not a lot of talk is done by the teachers about inspiration.

And I understand that process,

But I'm a person that's also a person that is inspired by the higher levels of the masters.

And that inspires me.

So I've been walking that path of inspiration while having a base of that connection to Buddhism.

And some people don't understand that,

But Buddhism is not really considered a religion.

You know that,

Right?

And the kind of inspiration I get from the connection I get with the masters really isn't the same as what a lot of people might consider to be typical Christianity.

Because it's based,

Since I've been very young,

On what I get from inside in meditation and what I get when I go within.

So that's,

And I always,

I tell you one thing,

It's not just a matter of getting it within,

But it's how you get what you get and apply it to your life and how you can practice it,

Right?

So the proof is in the pudding.

I don't know what kind of pudding this is.

I never checked what kind of flavor.

Maybe a nice Christmas pudding?

I don't know.

But if we go into that place where we can be inspired and we can find that inspiration and go into meditation and make that inner connection with our highest self and enact it and live with it in our life and to bring it into our life,

You'll find that there's so many gifts that come.

I have found my gifts come through music.

I love music.

I'm a member of the Grammys.

I like all the musicians I work with.

It's such a gift.

I love art.

I love any of that creative field.

It's very,

To me,

Connected to the higher spirits and what you get inspired by.

But I understand also the power and the beauty of just being able to go out in nature and appreciate how wonderful nature is.

Oh my gosh.

And our animals that live out in nature in the wild or our pets that live inside,

There's so much inspiration that comes in so many ways that we really need to be grateful.

Gratitude is a wonderful precious thing and it's very good to be able to be grateful for our gifts that come in that way.

And so if you go inside and if you take the time to just trust in that process,

You'll find so many amazing things happen.

And I think it's not just me.

I get some amazing comments back from people who share what they get from this process as well.

And that is so wonderful as well because I see that other people are also able to be uplifted by that process of going within.

So let's just take some time and close our eyes and get very comfortable.

And do that process of observation,

Checking out how those feet feel,

The left foot,

The right foot,

The ankles,

The calves,

The knees,

The thighs.

So grateful for my legs.

I love to be able to take a walk and it's so great to just have my legs carry me.

It's really a gift.

And continue to go within and think about the body and the lower chakras,

The base root chakra and the force of energy that's there,

That precious base root,

That lovely ruby red color that's at the base of your spine.

And the next second chakra with all the precious feelings that you go through in life.

And the gratitude that comes from all of that sacred energy there.

And the third chakra,

Oh my gosh,

It encloses so many amazing things in that whole area that you can be grateful for,

Right?

Your functioning of your stomach and the functioning of your liver and your kidneys and your lungs.

And oh my gosh,

It's just a miraculous thing at work for you there.

And it puts up with a lot.

It does.

Thank you.

And also moving to that sacred heart,

That heart center,

The love there,

Present in your heart of hearts.

Just be present in the love within.

Take some deep breaths full of love coming in,

Holding,

And then breathing out.

Allow this love to surround you in light above you,

Below you,

On either side of you,

In front of you,

Behind you.

You are encircled in a field of precious love and light.

Be grateful for that lovely light and love.

And continue the journey up to the neck.

Ah,

So much in the neck.

Gosh,

The communication that can happen through the whole throat chakra.

So much creativity.

And let the journey go to the third eye and see with your eyes closed.

What precious light is there?

What do you see?

What colors?

Do you have any visions?

Do you have any beautiful,

Changing energy that's coming through your third eye?

Any visions?

So much there to see and to receive.

And now let the energy go to the crown chakra,

Your beautiful top of your head,

That connection you have to the highest resource of all.

See it expanding and expanding with that highest golden light.

Now allow that soul energy from the crown chakra to be present there.

How precious.

Oh my gosh,

The soul.

The light of the soul and the love of the soul there within.

What would your soul wish you to know?

What would that soul speak to you of?

There's so much inspiration from the presence of that soul.

Soul is with you lifetime after lifetime after lifetime as you continue your journey around and around and around.

And when you drop your body,

You'll return again to your soul and will continue to take you on higher to that ever-present universal light and love of the one source of all.

Allow your soul to take you to that one source within.

That precious resource.

That eternal presence.

Breathe that presence in.

Breathe deeply that presence in.

Ah,

And let it speak to you as well with the unspoken words that comes from the presence.

And it will come as you continue your journey back into your center and so many ways as it speaks to you through that returning to your body,

Returning into your whole conscious mind,

Allowing that inspiration to be present as you return to your conscious mind.

I always love to encourage you to write down any impressions,

Any words of wisdom,

Any inspiration,

Or any thoughts that come.

This way you continue to build that bridge from your conscious mind to your highest consciousness.

And that bridge is so valuable,

So precious.

Now take the time to be grateful,

Ever so grateful for your journey,

For you taking the time out of your busy life to be present and to be grateful for that beautiful gift you have within that feeds your soul,

That feeds your heart,

That feeds all of you.

And I'm so ever grateful for you taking the time to be here now and I bow in gratitude.
