Obligation or joy?

As people, we have many obligations: family, work, society... We often say "I have to", " I need to", "I must"... We feel obligated. How much of what we do is in harmony with us?

Take breathing for example. Breathing is vital part of our lives. Without breathing, there is no oxygen and no life in the human body. How much do we enjoy breathing? How much of it is an obligation?

Breathing could appear as something that we have/must do to live. Breathing can be shallow. It can cause a lot of discomfort and dis-balance. Breathing can be a struggle.

On another hand, breathing is one of the keys to relaxation. Breathing out is the part the relaxes the human body the most. If we take a deep breath into our stomach, into our chest and collar bones and then very slowly breath out; we relax and can achieve balance and harmony. Breathing can be effortless and joyful.

Things we do in life are like breathing. We can create joy, peace and harmony by going through the day and choosing how we think and feel about particular situations, people and ourselves. We can make a difference in our lives by being grateful and appreciative.

We can "breath" effortlessly with a lot of joy; letting ourselves free and creating harmony and balance in our lives.

The light

I close my eyes to see the light.
The light is warm and is filled with love
It passes through me and overwhelms me.
The light surrounds me with love and acceptance.
It feels me up with joy, peace and harmony.

I loose myself in the ecstasy.
I am no longer me. I am part of the light.
I am the light.
I take a deep breathe.
The air flows through me filling me up with love.
I let myself go and follow the light deeper and deeper.

Wisdom

No words, no colours and no sounds can express the existence. They only portray a partial meaning.
The light within can be very strong, overwhelming and also ecstatic.
Take a deep breath and enjoy the divine.
Gratitude is very powerful in many ways.
Silence is communication channel of wisdom.

The change

Last year I would have tried to change the world around me. Half a year ago, I would have tried to change my world. Now, I know that the world and me are just ARE. Does anything have to change when it just exists? The answer to this is: “It is like asking a flower to grow in the opposite direction. When the time comes; the flower changes. It happens naturally. Forcing ourselves to change may not harm us nor may it harm the others, it will restrain us from being grateful and divine.” An important part of any growth is not effort, it is divine.

The future

I wonder in the world without knowing my future.
My feet follow my eyes and my thoughts on unknown passes.
My heart follows the light of the beauty and love.
My soul follows the stars from above.

I am a lost child in the world without boundaries.
What will become of me? I do not know.
Maybe, if I could foresee my distant future,
I would be able to know where to go.

I would take all the known passes
And I would foresee all the stones on the way.
But also the magic of unknown passes would disappear.
My dreams would fade away.

Mysterious world with unknown passes
Draws wondering child within me.
I am a lost child in the world without boundaries.
Creating unknown future ahead of me.

Fly with me...

Fly with me. Fly with me. Fly with me, like a bird.
Look around you and see the beauty of the world.

Can you hear your heart beat?
Can you hear your soul speak?
What does your soul tell you?
What do your eyes see?

I feel the wind gently touching me.
I hear the mountains calling me.
The grass is talking to me.
The trees are whispering.
The water is shining on me.
The sun keeps me warm.
The air keeps me breathing.

I am light as feather.
I am flying high.
I am surrounded by beauty
On the ground and in the sky.

I close my eyes.
I am filled with light.
Peace is within me.
I let myself go into the world of harmony, silence and beauty.

Lessons in life

Wanting to be someone you are not is a sign of ego.

I noticed that I wanted to be someone I am not.

This is my ego speaking.

I felt I had no gift that I was given in my life and asked myself: “why wasn’t I given one? Wouldn’t it be great, if I had a gift and was someone special?”

The answer came to me that I was gifted. The Universe perfects and expresses itself in me and in each and every one of us.

Looking at another gifted perfection of the Universe is like one star looking at another and not feeling good enough.



Impatience

I noticed that I want things to happen instantly and don’t want to wait around.

Frustration filled me up as I waited for things to happen immediately and an answer came to me…

“You are waiting for things to unwrap immediately. Universe is endless and has no boundaries. The process of waiting is one of the expressions of the Universe. See the harmony and beauty of the Universe in the process of waiting.”



Noise

I walked on the streets surrounded by noise and smoke. “This is very unpleasant I thought to myself.”

The answer came to me: “The Universe expresses itself in every noise and smell. It is in every form around you. Accept different expressions of the Universe in its every form.”

Awakening

Opening our eyes in the process of awakening of awareness is only a small part of a long journey. The real journey begins when we start living with open eyes and adjusting ourselves to the new level of our consciousness. The process of awakening is a wonderful process that brings peace, harmony and balance together with moments of complete dis-balance. We are like new born babies surrounded by the bright lights of love in the jungle of chaos.
