Intention of the Week:

Connect to that peaceful, still place within.

This week’s intention was going to be about something different, but before I began to write I realized that I needed to get still and access my peaceful place within. I always want to make sure that my writings come from the highest place possible, but this morning I began the day feeling a little let down and frazzled. That’s no way to start the day, and I also realized that I could soothe myself by accessing that peaceful place within (I call it my Divine Self, but you can call it whatever you want!).

So let’s all access this together. It’s a good practice to get into, as we all can let our thoughts get the better of us sometimes! Thoughts are just thoughts…but left unchecked they become manifestations. When you connect to that still place within you become centered, more peaceful, and present in the moment.

Thoughts that feel bad don’t come from your Higher (or Divine) Self. Your Higher Self doesn’t tell you that you aren’t good enough, that you screwed up yet again, that you aren’t loved, etc. Your Higher Self is love and will always reflect love back to you. Right now (yes, right now!), take a deep breath, close your eyes, and relax. Try connecting to your heart (you can put your hand on your heart if you are having a hard time accessing it) and feeling the love that resides within you. Keep breathing (focus more on the in-breath, then simply relax on the out-breath, then immediately breathe in again without a pause in between the in and out breath; this will help you relax) and connecting. When you get to a place that feels peaceful and loving, try and access those thoughts that were bothering you. Show these thoughts to your Higher Self and see what happens! They usually disappear in the light of your Divine Self.

The more you access the still place within, the more peace will show up in your physical reality (you know why- because your outer world reflects your inner world!). It’s also how you stay present in the moment (your point of power, you know!) and access intuition. It’s just all around a great way to live!

Before I accessed my still place within this morning, I was a little troubled by something because I couldn’t see the higher purpose in the manifestation. But as I connected to my Divine Self, took my thoughts inward and allowed them to connect to my higher wisdom, I quickly realized why I created today to unfold the way it did, and that it’s all good! It’s really just a matter of remembering that we have the love, peace, and knowledge that we desire all within ourselves, and that it is accessible in each moment.

Have a peaceful day!
