Shine Your light!

“Be the change you want to see the world.” Gandhi

The above passage is well known and millions of people around the world have read these words. Hey let’s try something.  Close your eyes and say this affirmation to yourself, I am the change that I want to see in the world.   How does that feel? I bet it feels empowering!

From my experiences in exploring the ancient wisdom of Shamanism, I have come to realize that every being is connected in the web of life. What that means is how one of us lives in the world affects everyone. When I wake up each morning, I take some time to say a prayer in ceremony, light a candle, and meditate for a few minutes. Why? Because how I show up in the moments of life, how I nourish and tend to my levels of love, patience and appreciation is my way of giving back to you.

It’s easy to get caught up in the many tensions of the world today. Yet, with a simple practice I encourage you to remember that you have within you the healing wisdom, strength and power to bring change for greater love, balance and peace for your life and all of life.  It is our responsibility to become curious, to be that spiritual explorer that is aware of how we are watering the seeds of our inner garden. You get to choose what grows, how you will be the change you want to see in the world. 

Intention: Let your light shine! When you look at a star in the night sky, a star radiates without trying, without doing anything. Close your eyes and transform into a star. Merging with a star will help you to understand how far your inner light will radiate and how effortless it is to be a light in the world. Go forth into your day with ease and brilliance. This is your true nature.
