7 Mystical Truths for Travelling the Sacred Path in Crazy Times Apr 03, 2020

Show notes

When you are committed to walking a conscious path, of choosing love over fear even in the most challenging, crazy and chaotic, unfamiliar and uncertain times, you begin to 'see' from the mind's eye. You begin to sense and eventually know that there is only going forward, no going back; to who you were when you were younger, last year, or yesterday. That what was normal before is no longer. You begin to awaken to Divine paradox, to the truth and wisdom of your spirit filled survival bag, we might say. To the sacred that is within you which you have known all along but have been unaware of – lets' call this your Soul.

So how do you get from where you are now - perhaps feeling fear, worry and uncertainty - to deeper awareness in the here and now? To where your highest self, your soul, patiently waits for you to be? How do you travel the Path in harmony and flow with the duality of this life?

Let's explore 7 Mystical and insightful truths your soul knows well but your present self, let's call it your personality or lower nature, needs reminding of;

Together, We Also Explore

Your own personality is your most unrelenting challenger; body, emotions and mind.
Your personality nature knows nothing of Truth…
What appears to be chaos happening 'to you', 'around you', or in your world is a blessing of the teachings in disguise – seeing the gift
Buddha's Four Noble Truths – suffering and fear
Working with the energy of Desire
One clear soul is more powerful than a chaotic group of people…
Chaos and crisis upon the Path are inevitable
Humility is your Super Power!
What is freaking scary and frightening is the Sacred path…
What is big is actually small, what is small is actually big - dramatising and minimising
Working in harmony with the Universe / Source / God – prayer, meditation, mindfulness
The Law of Group Progress & the Law of Elevation
Group unity and togetherness

Stella Excerpt

"As you may have heard me say, we are here after all to give and receive, to give again. When we do this as a group, as a unified ever expanding group of clear souls we will be traveling the Path together to help all."

Takeaway Gem

"I ask you now; When you are challenged, how do you behave? Do your thoughts become stressful, negative or worrisome? Do your emotions impact and influence your entire day? Do you have less energy or motivation? Are you part of the chaos of a group (sometimes called the 'collective consciousness' in regards to greater humanity) or, are you joining fellow clear souls to being calmer in the storm, a bearer of light and server of love? One way will drain you, one way will uplift, inspire, motivate and awaken you."

May we unite as a lighted group to serve each other and the world.

Stella Excerpt

"There is aspiring to a conscious, spiritual and soul directed life; liking the way it sounds, being drawn by the shiny exterior of commercial mysticism and magic. Then, there is the daily dedication it takes to do-ing, be-ing and living the Path as your Way of life. The truer, more genuine Way of reaching the place you long to reach, the inner and out transformation you want to experience. The ways of seeing and knowing this world and beyond – unreliant on any external stimulants or distractions."

Takeaway Gem

"…any true path will bring darkness and light, it will bring love and separation, it will bring challenge and triumph and it will bring joy, sorrow and pain. Such is the duality of having a human experience while ever striving for the perfect divinity of what you truly are, a soul – made of consciousness, love, light."

Stella Excerpt

"From a Feminine and Masculine perspective, the masculine of the two should gain great joy in simply seeing the joy of the feminine. Something to keep in mind. The feminine after all is the receptacle of life force, energy, bliss, love. The masculine is the provider, the giving force..."

Takeaway Gem

"By helping each other you are not only evolving as an individual, you are working on relating with another and thus it will help you relate to all others and the world. Whether this relationship is the one for a life time or one for this time right now, it is an investment that will benefit both of you for life."

The Sacredness of the Moment – Embodying Presence Jan 31, 2020

Show notes

Instead of living in virtual or online worlds, living disconnected and severed from what you really are, distracted, worrying, rushing, anxious... I give you some practical entry points to embodying your own presence. To guide you to reconnecting with the sacredness of the moment. This moment, your life. Through the beauty of a consistent morning practice, learning the art, the beauty and the power of slowing down with calm stillness, being the watcher and witness of your personality nature, journeying with breath and beyond.

The Opportunity to Shift Your Consciousness

Stella Excerpt

"Have you ever felt like you are alive but not living? Not sensing your aliveness, and as a result not only sleep walking through your own life, but bypassing others doing the same? Collectively we are also not awake and alert enough to value what is truly important, beautiful and of wisdom in this world. We aren't even awake and alert enough to take the action needed to combat the global crisis we are living in…though some of us are waking up rapidly, collectively we have far to go and that gap can only be bridged by starting with our personal efforts."

Takeaway Gem

"When we begin to make tiny little adjustments that become weaved into the fabric of our day we can begin to notice internal and or external shifts in our experience of life. We may even realise we can not only do, but we can be. And at those times of being we can become the witness of our reactions and actions, our thoughts and words, our judgments and planning and, also our emotions and feelings. We can realise here that we have the innate ability to witness our personality nature – the physical, emotional and mental components that make up our personality, and we can thus make wiser choices."

To your Sacred Journey.

In Light & Love of the Soul.

Self Care: Consumerism & Escapism or Love & Living Truth Dec 06, 2019

Show notes

Are we becoming increasingly self-obsessed with 'self-care' as a new consumer driven craze or are we becoming more self-aware?

If we are becoming more self aware, how long do we still dwell focusing on the self before we see it is only a bridge to broader awareness beyond our individual selves? Expanding further out than our physical needs or wants, our emotional desires and our mental chatter to something more, something even greater…

Let's unpack self care from a consumer hype perspective, escapism and numbing out, to exploring what healthy Self-Care looks like, how it weaves with Self-Love and why from there we find the bridge to Living Truth, including the boundaries and the sacrifices it requires, to prepare us ultimately to care for ALL.

LIVING TRUTH - Being True & Taking Action

Healthy Boundaries
Sacrifice
Service

Stella Excerpt

"…is it time to question your Self Care Go-To's? Do they - meaning what you're choosing - take care of you; body, emotions, mind, spirit? Or, do they just give you a chance to block out the world and the worries for a moment. Which is cool, at times. But you need more than that. That isn't true Self-Care. It's self-distraction, numb out, escapism. You can't thrive like that, you can't evolve like that. You can't live your most caring, loving, healthy, abundant life like that."

Takeaway Gem

"Living Truth when it comes to Self Care means being true to you and then taking action on it. A consistent, commitment to take care of yourself in all aspect of who and what you are. So that you are able to live authentically, healthily, joyfully best you can – knowing we all go through phases, and cycles, challenges and not so great days. The deeper, more honestly you CARE the closer you can be to self-acceptance, compassion, kindness, non-judgment and humility of yourself too. That's the self-love part that can fit in right beside or even weave together with self care."

Take wonderful care of you.

Transforming Anger & Unmet Needs into Intimacy & Activism Nov 23, 2019

Show notes

You get angry, you blame someone or something. It's easy to blame. It puts it outside of yourself and gives you a perfect out to not have to do any real work and break the anger cycle. From anger & blame, to unmet needs in romantic, professional and family relationships and learning to get to the root cause - not just deal with surface effects, we cover it all. Along this transformation of anger we also then learn how to not only move closer to love and intimacy beyond anger, but also how anger can be put to use IF used for good. For anyone who's ever gotten angry or knows someone who has, this is for you.

Stella Excerpt

"…getting angry can make things worse, have you noticed that? Either you waste a lot of energy getting angry at something and don't even get a response. Or, you create a storm with someone else and it erupts into something that causes harm; either in behaviour - yours and/or theirs, in cruel words and, in uncontrollable erratic emotions that cover everything in their way. Nothing great can come from projections of anger that are running wild and rampant."

Takeaway Gem

"If you let anger take you over you are not winning, you are losing. You are losing an inner battle of will power and of closing your hearts and minds. And you are likely also hurting or even losing people you love and care about because of it. Anger does not need to control you. You are the one to control the anger."

Raja Yoga: The King of Yoga Nov 07, 2019

Show notes

Raja yoga focuses more on mental control than how good you look or move in yoga pants. Known as the Kingly yoga for it incorporates all the other schools then adds advanced mental practices. The Path of Raja yoga is one of study and mind control to unite you with your highest self. Raja yoga leads to the control of yourself and your world. While it asks the most of any who practice it, it gives the greatest return of all yoga; it leads to kavaliamukti. Or, supreme enlightenment for a Buddhist. While there are different forms and ways to attain this, Raja is the highest form.

It may seem out of reach, but we can begin to make our way there together today.

Stella Excerpt

"There is knowledge in yoga that explains aspects of reality that science hasn't even discovered. Know you are part of this is incredible is-ness of things. There are inherent truths that we aren't often told, and they can change your life in amazing ways. It just takes a bit of work. And you can truly experience being one with the universe, and your mind changing the world."

Takeaway Gem

"If you can learn to control your mind, you can control your mood, thoughts, perceptions, capabilities.

You can learn to change your own world and maybe the world of those around you as well. If you are willing to pay the price for such knowledge and power."

May you find your Path and follow it as far as it can take you.
