ADVICE...
What is really meant by the “Gift of Awakening”?
The “Gift
of Awakening” is an awakened state of being that is ultimately blissful.
After mastering the art of trust and surrender, we can more easily enter
into conscious states of grace, gratitude, beauty, compassion, forgiveness
and divine love for ourselves and others. The gift of each of these states
is separately magical and collectively heaven on earth.
Grace - To live in a state of “grace” simply means that we are
mentally and emotionally centered and grounded regardless of outer
circumstances and behaviours. In each moment we are able to feel the gift of
life and see the best in people and experiences.
Gratitude - To live in a state of “gratitude” asks us to take
nothing and no one for granted. To see the blessings that have been bestowed
upon you daily and over time, and as you do this you will create more of the
same. We always have a choice to focus on the good, or the bad. Choose to
focus on all that you have to be grateful for - every day!
Beauty - To live in a state of “beauty” means that we honour
the existential beauty within all people and we appreciate the beauty of
nature with more reverence. The beauty of nature, which exists without our
forcing anything, is the best example of our unlimited capacity to create
beauty in our lives with little effort.
Compassion - As “compassionate” beings, we see the bigger
picture. We also see people as doing the best they can, given their current
level of consciousness. In being compassionate, we create the space for the
acceptance and therefore, the growth of others.
Forgiveness - Although I listed this one last, “forgiveness”
is paramount to living an awakened life. Radical forgiveness of ourselves
and others frees us to become more conscious and awakened...and to
experience the daily miracles life has to offer.
Does this mean we have to live in these states of being all of the time?
Absolutely not! We can, at best, only ask of ourselves to come back to these
states as quickly as we can. The key to “awakening” is to be aware of the
moments and days that we exist in lower states of being and to have the
courage to lift ourselves up and out of them, with ease and grace. And
through the Divine Love of ourselves, this becomes second nature.
