Monthly themes for self-discovery: July 2009



Wisdom arises from experience, a deep heart, and willingness to learn. Add your maturity and inner knowing to spiritually nourish each creative moment.

The wisdom of the inevitable is a great teacher - beginnings, endings, need to eat and sleep, the cycles of nature, our bodies as we go though life. I am reminded of the Serenity Prayer; God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.
 
This is the task - to know the difference. But how? Sometimes what we can change is obvious and at other times it is masked with emotion. Cultivating an internal context for our journey means a close examination of our attachments. Wisdom comes with experience and maturity, living our learning, allowing what is, and is, and is.

Accessing our wisdom comes though being mindfully present, doing all that we can to pay attention, using whatever we have learned, bringing the best techniques we have, the best attitude we have, the best understanding we have, and applying it right now. This evokes the deep luminous wisdom of your heart and nourishes each creative moment.

Every ancient culture has an inner group of wisdom keepers who preserve and maintain the traditions. These hidden teachings are within our mind streams, ready to reveal and enhance our understanding of the evolutional impulse, and give us certainty in these times of shaking the old from our collective perceptions.

May the Wisdom of the Ancient Ones unlock your memories and light your way home.


Warmly,
Kathy 

P.S. If you worked with the Angel of Inspiration during June, take a few moments to release it with your gratitude before welcoming the Angel of Wisdom into your life for the month of July.  

 


Meditation Exercise

As we move through our day, we are constantly making decisions. Some seem insignificant like what color shirt to put on in the morning. Some seem major like wether to buy a new house or change employment.

Depending on how we class these decisions, we access different means to make our choices. We depend on instinct, the situation of the present moment and our whole life history to date to inform what action we will take.

Making decisions with wisdom requires that we listen deeply in each moment, connecting not only with our life experience but also with our spiritual inner knowing, allowing ourselves to be open to the interconnectedness of all life.

As an evening review, look back on some of the decisions you have made today. Connect with the internal process that existed around what you decided. Here are a few questions to stimulate your review. I am sure you can think of others.


Did my decisions today mostly come from a sense of my deeper wisdom or from a reaction to a sense of fear or insecurity?

When did I take time to access my deep wisdom before taking action and when did I feel stressed into making decisions without giving myself time for thought?

What decisions did I make today that reflect a knowing that everything is interconnected? Which ones did I make that reflect a belief in seperation?

Did I allow the whole picture to be seen before I took action or did I look only at a small part?

What qualities can I cultivate in myself that will help me to take action with wisdom? What do I need to do to cultivate these qualities and what support do I need?


We ask ourselves questions about our life process not to make ourselves right or wrong but to learn how our minds work. Inquiry helps us bring our inner processes to the light of awareness so that we may choose what serves us and what does not, what supports us being peaceful and what does not. In so doing we cultivate a more expanded sense of self letting the restricting belief systems we have developed drop away.
