I was just thinking about how miraculous this life really is.
Aloha,
I'm Reverend Cindy Paulus,
And I've been really blessed to sometimes just get these beautiful moments of light,
Of precious inspiration.
And I think we all are,
I know we all can be inspired by life if we allow ourselves to just let go of the limitations that we can allow our mind to put upon us.
We sometimes forget the wonderful gift of being alive,
The magic of life is so amazing.
And we get busy,
We all have things to do.
And it's very,
Very easy to slip into forgetfulness when we are out there doing a million things.
We all understand that,
Right?
I mean,
You're busy,
You're not going to take the time to just remember how precious,
How beautiful this life is.
But there is always that opportunity.
There's always that moment that you can allow that light,
That magic,
That love,
That miraculous consciousness that we have is amazing.
I never cease to be amazed how far this mind can go.
And I experience a lot of that in two ways.
One,
When I'm meditating and I allow inspiration to come in,
That spirit to come in.
That's inspiration,
Spirit in.
Inspiration is that spirit touching you and your mind,
Your heart,
And your soul.
And it's such a fantastic gift to allow inspiration to guide you,
To instruct you,
To let yourself be open to understanding the preciousness of this amazing life.
Why not?
You know,
Why not?
Every day,
Why not every day allow that miracle of being alive to touch your heart and soul?
Now,
I find it come to me also when I listen to music.
I can really be inspired by some of this amazing music that's out there.
And the other way I find it is by being out in nature and allowing nature to really touch me,
Allowing nature to bring me that energy that's present in the light and the plants,
My gosh,
The beauty of flowers,
The preciousness of how beautiful nature really is,
Is really a fantastic gift.
So whether you get it through meditation or whether you get it through allowing yourself to see the beauty of nature,
Maybe it is in the face of a child,
You know,
The laughter of a child.
There's so many things in life that are there to remind you,
That are there to inspire you,
That are there to let you experience the preciousness of life.
And it's sad that we sometimes allow the problems of the world,
Which there's never any end to the problems.
And it does seem to me that there's more and more problems in this world.
But that's,
To me,
The greater reason why it's so much more important not to be brought down,
But to be inspired,
To be touched by the beauty,
To be touched by the power of that gift of your inspiration within,
Of your connecting with who you really are and allowing that inner voice to touch your spirit and your spirit to touch who you are.
Let's take a moment,
Let's take a moment to go within.
And just,
It's so wonderful,
The process of just allowing yourself to be,
To breathe in,
To just take a deep breath of light and breathe in that light and allow it to completely surround you and breathe out that energy and allow it to completely go through every part of your body and feel yourself aligning and being open,
Creating an opening in your mind as you breathe light in and you hold your breath and you breathe that light out.
Very simple.
Just breathe.
Breathing in,
Allowing that presence of who you really are,
That space it needs,
To be with you right here and now with just this breath of light.
Light in,
Holding it,
Light surrounding your entire body,
Breathing your light out.
And as you close your eyes and you are looking within,
You might see that beautiful light screen,
That inner screen of colors that come from your inner vision.
Oh my gosh,
The beauty of colors.
I'm seeing purples,
I'm seeing greens.
Ah,
Beautiful,
Beautiful shades of light as you breathe in and you breathe out.
How beautiful.
You are truly a child of light.
You were born from light.
You will return to light.
It's so nice to love that light that you are.
So take a few moments now,
Just take a few precious moments to experience that light that you are.
Being in the light,
Becoming that light,
Becoming that body of light.
Allow that color,
That precious color of your soul to come into your very being.
Breathing in and breathing out.
Now allow that light to expand,
To expand and to grow with no limitations,
No boundaries,
No boundaries,
Nothing but that amazing energy field that you are made from and that you live in and that you always return to.
That energy is so precious,
Precious energy of your very being.
Breathing it in,
Breathing it out.
Now just dwell here for a little moment or a big moment or a precious moment and feel that energy of gratefulness.
That wonderful gratitude comes with the recognition of how amazing this life really is.
Just be grateful for being alive here and now.
Hmm,
Isn't it wonderful?
Now slowly come out,
Slowly come out of meditation but continue that energy of that insightful,
Right,
That insightful energy of seeing the truth of who you really are.
I send you my recognition of how precious and wonderful you are in my light and love to you now and always.
