My Journey of Gratitude - Day 29

This morning's journey took me into a place of stillness and inner peace. I enjoyed the feeling of silence around me and the stillness within me, but that was just the beginning of my journey.

Gratitude led to peace which took me to a place of deepest love--love of life and love for life.

This is that place of every-thing and no-thing. The 'void' that I used to fear but now wrap around me like a warm blanket. It is always in this void, this place before creation, that I experience my deepest truths and my deepest understandings. It is not a place I get to often, but today I did.

Sitting in this energy of every-thing and no-thing, I am free to be re-created into a new thing.

Gratitude exists in this place as well. I'm finding that gratitude exists everywhere. It feels like the glue that holds the universe together and allows Love to enter in.

Love and fear are the only 2 real emotions. Everything else you experience are aspects of one or the other. It is impossible for them to exist in the same place at the time. You are either in a state of love or a state of fear in any given moment.

The state of gratitude opens the door for love to enter in and reside within you. Fear, then has no room and no reason to exist.

But we live in a world of duality--good/evil, right/wrong, gain/loss--with fear, chaos and conflict seemingly in charge. That is one aspect of reality, but it does not need to be the only aspect I experience.

With each day of this journey I understand on ever deepening levels not just the importance and benefits of living in gratitude, but the amazing tool for transformation that gratitude is.

No other tool is as easy to employ to change your experience of life. It costs nothing, needs no user manual to assemble and is available to you in every moment.

You simply close your eyes, take a deep breath and say 'thank you'. Your Spirit self can take it from there.

Gratitude can be the next great adventure of your life--if you allow it.

My eyes closed, a deep breath and thank you for being on this journey with me.

In gratitude,

Bonnie

My Journey of Gratitude - Day 23

Today is Thanksgiving Day here in the U.S. and we are spending today with family. Any day I spend with my children and grandchildren is a day to be grateful, but this day most of all.

I began my meditation with an open heart filling with thoughts of each family member. There is a new grandbaby on her way, so extra special gratitude for a new life among us. One daughter has found 'the one' and he is being introduced to the whole clan today. I am grateful for her newfound happiness and also that this family so easily opens its arms and heart to embrace new life and new love as we continue to grow.

As I continued to sit in my state of gratitude, allowing my mind to take me to new places, my physical body responded to me. Not in the warm glow of gratitude way that I normally experience, but something different. It immediately got my attention.

There was a response to the gratitude--a living response as my body flowed it back to me. It was like standing at a top of a canyon yelling "Hello. I love you' and expecting those words to be echoed back. Instead I heard "I love you too." A surprise as I realized for the first time that gratitude is a 2-way communication!

All this time I've sent thanks and love to my body for all it does for me, yet had never considered the possibility that my body would respond in kind.

As a medical intuitive who works with the physical body and health all the time you'd think I wouldn't have been surprised, but there I sat in amazement as this deeper communication between us continued--as equals and co-creators of my life.

My body does more than just reflect my thoughts; it responds with its own as well. And isn't that really how it should be--my body as more than a reflection of me, but an active co-creator? Isn't that how it is supposed to be for each of us?

After all, doesn't my body house my Essence? Why wouldn't we consciously co-create not only my health, but my life? Why wouldn't we work in cooperation and harmony with each other?

This morning the meaning of being 'present in my body' took on a whole new depth of understanding and experience. Gratitude is not just a feeling, not just a state of being--it is also a 2-way communication. Whether that be between body-mind or two people, gratitude is a divine method of communication.

I am grateful today for the body I live in and it is grateful for my presence and my acknowledgement.

New doors have just opened.

I welcome your comments and experiences!

In gratitude,
Bonnie

Be The Change

All things are connected like the blood which unites one family. Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons of earth. Man did not weave the wave of life, he is merely a strand of it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself. Chief Seattle

Our world, our existence is intrinsically intertwined. We are inseparable, all parts of one great whole that is the unified field. The very energies of compassion that bring us together in difficulty and tragedy exist always and we are expanding those energies to more of our daily lives, to more of our first thoughts when in relationship with others.

It is this current shift in sensibility that is bringing us into the fold of our evolution, our bond and our expansion into cooperation and compassion. Our lives are shifting consciously and unconsciously at higher and higher frequencies as we move toward our new normal.

It would seem that any change historically has often found increases in energy fields in two directions, a pulling apart and polarization. There often seems to be more of what was as more of what is to be builds its energy base.

Have you been experiencing a feeling of being out of balance? Have you been feeling a little 'spacy'? Have you had a sense of things being off kilter, not normal, as if the earth were shifting under your feet?

We know from our science that we are all a part of a unified field of energy, a unified field of all that is, was, and will be. And since quantum physics tells us that there is no time, except as we create it in our minds, then the unified field is simply all that is, and that includes each of us and who we believe we are.

Who do you believe you are? Who do you want to be? How do you want to be in the world? What do you want to have? How do you want to be your better you?

Ask yourself better questions and you will create that better you. The parts of you that no longer serve you have a higher probability of falling away and being replaced by what you want instead, when you know what those things that you want are.

All things are connected, look at what you want as a model of what you want, and then become that. Put your energy toward clarity for yourself and who you are at your core level, at your spiritual DNA level.

Be the change you want to see in the world. Mahatma Gandhi

Love and blessings, Katie

Know Thyself - Know Your Spiritual DNA

Our most recent discussions on the One Command Yahoo group have been truly deep and self-revealing, the willingness of the members to open their life experiences to others and share their recognition of how much self-awareness enhances their ability to change your lives for the better has been a blessing.

Many times people ask what to Command for...and the best answer will always be, What do you want instead (of what you have). To help that along, it can be very useful to find out what programs you have been running that have gotten in your way.

We know from quantum physics and psychology that biochemically, biologically and energetically, we take in information that is transmitted as chemicals throughout our body and then creates or changes our DNA. We come in with ancestral programs, we take on cultural and family programs and we have inherent behavioral DNA programs - all information that shapes how we think, perceive the world, and behave.

And beneath all of that is our Spiritual blueprint, the programs that we universally share that come from Source. These are the programs that hold our integrity, our compassion, our sense of fairness, our love - and nowhere in that blueprint will you find fear.

Fear is incorporated in your core behaviors, like the flight/fight responses, and in your learned behaviors like family beliefs and cultural beliefs, and in your personal set of perceptual behaviors that shape how you interpret the world and how you react in response to those perceptions.

The very best part is that as you dig into what is going on in your life, from your dreams to your beliefs to your daydreams, and as you allow yourself to be aware of all the ways you have viewed the world and how and why you make the choices you have made, you have even more freedom and more information about What you want instead.

All of your stories of self-discovery are you gifts to yourself, your gifts of self-recognition, your gifts of self-revelation - and at that point - you get to make more and more and more decisions and choices to use your inherent courage to behave from Source, from your Spiritual DNA blueprint - the you that is in complete alignment with Greater Capacity.

Congratulations to all of you and to all of us - self-knowledge is FREEDOM!
