(W)rites of Gratitude

Today’s message is pretty amazing. It’s not just the message, or the exercise, the magic is in the visualization. I took a sheet of paper and drew a large symbol of Gratitude. It was kind of lopsided, but it didn’t matter. I still felt the amazing power of the visualization. I filled not only the inner and outer circles with my notes of my dreams but also most of the page. Oh yes, I still have so much to do, it seems overwhelming and I often get stuck in the details. For me it’s kind of like, I can’t see the forest because I see all the trees. Even so, I am ever so grateful to be on my way to achieving my dreams.

This was a fantastic meditation for healing not only for myself but for others as well, and I will keep using it. So, if we really are one, then every time we heal ourselves, we heal the world! Not only Japan, but all of creation can use all the gifts of love and healing that are sent with this exercise. The devastation that has occurred in Japan has changed my reality. My thoughts are different than they were last week. Aren’t yours?

It feels like I can really do it this time because all of my past experiences have given me the confidence and courage to bring forth my new reality. Change has indeed come into my perception of illusion in my life. It’s all an illusion though, this reality I mean, and as we are changing I believe we are moving closer to what is real. My lesson is to embrace change, because it is inevitable after all. So, in this moment of e-motion and being one with the Divine, I cherish and embrace the changes which are transforming my life.

I am a blooming human with magic in my heart! I am Marsha!

"Song of the Universal"

~ Walt Whitman

Come, said the muse.

Sing me a song no poet has chanted.

Sing me the universal.

In this broad earth of ours,

Amid the measureless grossness and the slag,

Enclosed and safe within its central heart,

Nestles the seed perfection.

By every life a share or more or less

None born but it is born -- concealed

or unconcealed, the seed is waiting.

Focus on Gratitude

If we are all creating a New Reality with our thoughts, then, the question becomes, “Can I focus my attention on what is essential for me to thrive in my New Reality?” Of course I can, and I am doing it!

I am finding it easier to focus my attention on my dreams and goals and what I want to achieve since I have been ‘going within’ during my meditations each day. Yes, I still get distracted but it’s okay, I simply redirect my concentration with gratitude. I am discovering a whole new world, a magical place that exists within my soul.

It’s only Day 4 of the Blooming Humans series and I can feel the amazing energy illuminating the sacred space in my heart. I am only beginning to identify my unique role in this process, and so far, I am loving being in the place in my heart where light, love and gratitude lives. My Dream Seed continues to sprout, Bloom and GROW!

With an illuminated heart, I am Marsha!

"Cherish your visions. Cherish your ideals. Cherish the music that stirs in your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the loveliness that drapes your purest thoughts, for out of them will grow all delightful conditions, all heavenly environment; of these if you but remain true to them, your world will at last be built." ~ James Allen

Prayers of Gratitude

I find change particularly difficult. I have always needed to feel safe and secure, but I have learned this is not real, only an illusion. Change is the only thing that is real. It is the only thing I can count on in this life.

I put a lot of pressure on myself to write each and every day of the 42 days of the 9th and Final Wave of Gratitude. I am not doing that this time. I received the first email on the 11th and not on the 9th as I had expected. So, I am not putting so much pressure on myself. I would go crazy and I am close enough to the edge as it is.

Our life was turned upside down when my husband was fired in January, it seems as if it’s only a minor annoyance compared to the massive destruction occurring in the rest of the world, from earthquakes and tsunamis to financial destruction and the crumbling infrastructure, oh and don’t forget the wars, death and starvation. In this time of dramatic change, and uncertainty, I am finding comfort by going within my soul to find God. As I enter the castle of my soul and close the drawbridge, shutting out the world, I find clarity, inspiration, and peace of mind. And most importantly, I am nurturing the Dream Seed growing within!

In gratitude, I am a Blooming Human, I am Marsha!
