Why You Should Follow Your Heart

You’ve read the books, done the seminars, completed the workshops, and have had experiences, even if they were momentary. But, at some point, you have to fully go all in on what you believe and what you know. You are an independent unit of divine expression in this world and it’s all about you complying with the wisdom and knowledge that resides at the level of your own heart. 

The more that people demonstrate the courage to follow their hearts, the more the end result is happiness! It’s amazing how there’s that correlation between following your heart and being happy – doing what you love doing, and being happy, having the courage to pursue your passion, and being happy. It is incredible how over and over and over again, I am hearing, witnessing, and experiencing people who have the courage to break free of the norm and live fully from their hearts. 

It doesn’t require a super power or a cape, and you don’t have to be a part of the Marvel Universe in order to have the courage to break free of the norm. You just have to finally trust in yourself and trust in life. And it’s incredible, especially in spirituality, because there are so many pointers, guides, messengers and material that points to this truth and validates it on both an intellectual level and scientifically. 

What would happen today if you had the courage to just jump into the unknown, to leave behind your fear, to tap into the love that dwells within you and allow that to be your north star? Where will your north star lead you? Where is it going to guide you today? I want you to find out. I want you to as much as possible, to source every choice and decision from your heart, from the essence of who you are, from the love that you are. Your heart is your direct line to the Divine. 

A life lived from the heart is a life well lived!

Resting in the awareness of your breath transforms your life into a living meditation.

The Absolute Truth of Reality

I am so thankful that my life did not work out the way I wanted it to, the way I had envisioned it, the way I had prayed for it, the way I had intended. Thank God that my life didn’t bend to meet me in my limited lens of perception. 

Mark Twain said famously: 

“The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.” – Mark Twain.

The day I figured out why I was born, interestingly enough, was New Year’s Eve 2002/2003.  On that day, I had a direct experience with the Divine. I experienced God, The Divine, The Beloved, as an infinite ocean of love. No judgement, no criticism, no forgiveness – just love in its purest form.  Since that day, I have been no longer able to deny why I am here. I was shown very clearly that we are all connected to this love, every single one of us.  

This love lives inside of us, and all around us, at all times. You could say that it is the absolute truth of our reality.  What it takes to live there, is a willingness to let go of what you think you know. What it takes to live there is surrender. 

I was also shown that this presence had been flowing through me my entire life. I was just not aware of it.  We think we need to be doing something. Society tells us that we have to become someone, that we have to amount to something, that we have to in some way prove our value and our worth. 

But, what if every human being knew innately that they were loved, and that actually, they were here on an amazing journey.  A journey through which they get to remember why they were born. 

Why were you born? Were you born to perpetuate this constant grasping for things outside of you? Or, were you born to one day realize that you are enough? And in realizing that you are enough, you consciously become aware of the fact that there is a universal energy and presence flowing through you as well. 

Since 2002-2003, my life has never been the same because I now know that my life is not about me and that it actually never was. This persona, this body, these emotions, the mind, all that I am is nothing more than an instrument and a vehicle. That’s it, no different than a flute, a saxophone, a drum kit, or a guitar.  An instrument that has been tuned uniquely and is played by a savant, the most talented musician in creation.  That is why we are here, to play love’s melody in this world. 

Resting in the awareness of your breath, transforms your life into a living meditation. 

Hope: The Wave of Momentum and Expansion

Have you noticed that innovations and technology are happening faster than ever before. Processor feeds are compounding, batteries sizes are doubling. Technology has reached a critical mass, and it is evolving and expanding at a rate that is startling. In that same way, the momentum you’ve been building in your life, in your own personal evolution is compounding as well. 

Humanity has entered a decade, a window of time that is a giant possibility zone. A golden period of time within which we have the capacity to consciously choose to be ourselves in every moment and to opt out of the collective experience of suffering that has been dominating our beloved brothers and sisters for a long time. 

The very second you get rid of suffering, and you have the courage to know yourself beyond it, is the very moment you begin to ride this wave of momentum and expansion. That wave of momentum and expansion has you breakthrough into the greater possibility zone where your life force energy, who you are, your vibrancy, your vitality, your love, begins to be utilized to further the momentum of every area of your life. That means that no matter how old you are, no matter how you’ve lived, no matter what financial position you are in, no matter what the current state of your physicality is, every single thing is subject to expansion and evolution like never before. 

The more people that embrace the possibility and potential of living free of survival, the more it becomes redundant on behalf of all of us. We all begin to see the redundancies inherently embedded in suffering because suffering doesn’t change anything. It doesn’t in any way catalyze anything. This is why it is more important than ever to just let it go and to opt out of suffering and to no longer contribute to your energy or attention toward that. 

Letting go is how you help the collective. Once you become responsible and accountable for what is inside of you, and how you’re tethered to that collective experience, you can then untether yourself. And in doing so, you allow everything to begin and end within you. At that point you are empowered and you are free. 

The more people choose to be themselves, and step out from behind their suffering, and the more people choose to recognize, and live from this place of possibility, the more it becomes available to every other man, woman and child alive, as well as benefiting the planet, creation and beyond. When I tell you that these breakthroughs into possibilities are unique occurrences, I am not exaggerating. 

We have evolved into this possibility zone expansion in every area of life and living that is ten years long. Ten years of evolution and expansion that is just going to speed up and compound and will turn humanity from a consciousness standpoint around. This means it’s literally going to shift us out of fear and fear-based states of being that keeps us locked in suffering, into love. That is where we are. 

How To Access Freedom

I have learned through personal experience a long time ago, that surrender, and I mean complete and total surrender, is actually the only way to fly. I’ve traveled all over the world and have met people from all walks of life, and have experienced things that are just beyond the mind that I never could have imagined. All in all, my life has been a journey that has been unfolding with this perfection and synchronicity, even in this moment.  

Letting go is how you access freedom. Letting go of your version of life allows you to experience life in its totality. I used to want things, I used to pray for things, I used to believe that things were going to make me happy, and that having things was an answer to something that was feeling inside of me that I didn’t want to feel, until one day, I realized I was praying for all the wrong things.

We spend all of our time intending, praying and envisioning for ourselves, for things we think are going to make a difference in our lives, only to discover that once we get them, they don’t make a difference at all. 

At some point you have to end your fight with life and you have to get that life is unfolding in perfection. Once you can accept what’s unfolding at every moment, you begin to live from your heart. You begin to discover peace. You begin to discover love because you’re no longer afraid.

Surrender is always the right answer to every perceived problem. 

Many of you, for a long time now, have been taking your spouses to workshops in hopes that one day finally, as a result of going to one of these workshops, they’re going to magically transform into a different person. But, you’re missing the point, they are part of your destiny, part of the greater creation of your life. You put everybody in your life where they are for you including the person who loved you, the person who betrayed you, the person who cheated you, the person who gave to you, the person who stole from you. Every single person is a part of your collective unfolding destiny. 

The key is to surrender and to let go. 

Today, I don’t want anything for myself that God doesn’t want for me. It’s very simple and I am willing to accept wholeheartedly whatever that is. There is nothing else. Surrender provides you access to the divine’s version of your life, which is beyond your imagining, beyond your vision board, beyond your comprehension. 

Surrendering, letting go, allowing, choosing what is sets you free. 

Financial Stress: Resetting Our Needs

Covid-19 has offered us the opportunity of a reset. 

Throughout this window of quarantine, self-isolation and lockdown, we have been able to very quickly discern every day what it is we need on a daily basis. Covid has forced us to become conscious around our level of consumption. It has also shown us that we really don’t need most of what we have been consuming at all. 

I would like you to continue the momentum of this reset as we continue to emerge beyond the pandemic, and return to our daily lives. Because the simpler you are, meaning the more you realize your survival is dependent on basic things, the more what you do with your time becomes a choice. It very quickly enables you to get out of a bad trade, which is trading your  time and energy in order to survive. 

Once you realize what it actually takes for you to live, what you actually need to survive, including some sort of shelter, heat, air conditioning or fan potentially, food to sustain you and exercise, like getting out and walking, life becomes so much easier. It becomes easier because at that point you can see that you don’t have to generate in order to survive. You can actually survive by providing your body the essential nutrients that it needs on a daily basis as well as the shelter it deserves, and the clothing that’s necessary. 

You can provide the basic things you need which takes care of all your survival stuff, and at that point, you have a choice. Once you free up the time, you are no longer wrapped up in financial stress and overwhelm thinking about money. Nor are you wasting your time, effort and energy on money.  Why? Because you no longer need money in any relative level of excess in order to survive. 

At that point, you are finally out of survival and you become creative. You have the opportunity to innovate, to inspire, to do something where you are being of service to other people. Your life is no longer about you. You’re meeting your needs and you’ve realized very clearly what those needs are. 

It’s time to shift your relationship with money and live a simpler life. 

We Are Moved By Grace

There is an absolute perfection and precision to your life. Your life has a purpose and you are loved. You are basically being moved by grace. And this is why there is nothing to resist or to worry about or to be afraid of because life and grace is moving you. There is an incredible destiny unfolding for each and everyone of you. 

The chance meeting you had with a human being, a moment of connection you shared with somebody, something that you read, something that you heard, something inspired you and that something was grace. There is a life waiting for you. If you are in the pause, just know that that pause is preparation. 

We are being moved in every moment by grace, and we are only ever fulfilling our purpose. No matter what is happening in your life at this moment, know that you are going to be okay. Even though, in this moment, you may not know the answer, or the access to the resources, or you are in the midst of a struggle, life continues to unfold and as grace continues to do its work. You’ll be guided to the next thing through your reality to move in the direction of your destiny. 

Help always arrives. In one form or another, love disguised as a human will show up to point you in the right direction, because your life, and the journey of your life, is not an accident. When you look at how every single thing in your life has unfolded, you can’t help but be grateful. 

Hold in your heart the people in your life that have played that role of guiding you, supporting you, pointing you in the right direction. Grace is always guiding you and life will always bring you all that you need. 

Resting in the awareness of your breath, transforms your life into a living meditation.

Out of The Darkness, Into the Light

Our reality has been constructed to distract you from what you have to pay attention to in order to be free.

Right now, your entire reality is distracting you from what you have to pay attention to in order to be free. And what you have to pay attention to in order to be free resides within you. At some point, it is everybody’s eventual destiny to wake up to this truth. It is everybody’s eventual destiny to stop looking outside of themselves, and instead, begin to explore the vast inner reality that dwells within. 

It takes courage to shine the light of your awareness on yourself. It takes courage, commitment, and it takes consistency. Every now and again you’ll bump into someone who has explored the depths of themselves, and not just experienced the infinite light, love and potential that resides inside, but also uncovered everything that’s in the way of humanity. People like you, authentically living there.

When you begin to turn your attention within, at first you begin to encounter and face everything within you that you haven’t wanted to accept and love. As you go beyond the body and the mind, you begin to access an emotional layer and you begin to encounter uncomfortable feelings that you’ve been programmed or conditioned to avoid, make wrong, deny, or bypass. 

At some point, you realize that by avoiding, denying or bypassing these feelings isn’t working and you begin to give them your attention. You begin to welcome them out of the darkness and into the light. You become consciously aware of them and in doing so, you allow these aspects of yourself, these feelings, these emotions to return to their infinite form which is light. 

Eventually all that is left is the light, the love and the potential that you are. And that is the invitation that is extended to everyone that is ready right now to self actualize. 

Rest in the awareness of your breath.  

Connecting To Harmony

What you are trying to attain isn’t outside of you. You can only ever experience that which is already authentically present within you. We’ve overly complicated everything. You’re here to be you and that means no longer resisting any aspect of you, no longer rejecting yourself, no longer denying yourself, no longer punishing yourself. You see, the key to your transformation is self acceptance and self love. 

At some point in addition to restoration of safety, we have to get to a place where we are able to be in our human experience and to realize that being human is the most divine thing of all. We have to lay a foundation of peace and harmony. And on top of that foundation, we can then begin to build a platform of self love and self acceptance. 

Picture in this moment that you are swimming in an infinite soup of love and light. Based on your programming, conditioning or past experiences, you are interpreting that love and light according to that programming or conditioning instead of just experiencing it. We are only as ever limited as we allow ourselves to be and until we feel safe in who we are, we cannot evolve. We cannot develop or know our enlightened consciousness, our abundance, our health, our vibrancy, our peace. Once safety is restored, not only can we know it, we can embody it. 

The reason you may have had a hard time being in the state of flow is because it’s been increasingly challenging for you to be yourself. I would like for you to actualize your potential and to fully embody it. 

The degree to which you cultivate a loving, accepting and inclusive relationship with your feelings, your thoughts, and your body is the degree of which you allow yourself to receive all of the beautiful power, presence and light that is flowing through you all the time; to walk the Earth living in oneness, connected to love and harmony. 

Rest in the awareness of your breath. 

Your Soul Is The Boss

Ponder this; maybe your soul’s the boss. This part of you, this love, this essential self, whatever you want to call it, is in charge and you are on your soul’s journey. Why? Because your soul is the boss. 

Your ego now and again, likes to take credit for doing things. But, guess what! Your ego only likes to take credit for the fun stuff. It’s like the parent who only takes pride in your accomplishments but doesn’t want to look at the full spectrum of the parenting experience. 

That’s the ego. 

It’s time to support you in living soulfully. Who you are really, is an infinite being. At your very essence you’re infinite. That means that nothing can be added to you and nothing can be taken away from you. It also means you are living on an infinitely evolving spiral staircase. 

Even though you might be re-experiencing things again, you are re-experiencing them from a more evolved standpoint and perspective. Life and the purpose of life, is first the experience of just being human, and secondly, the purpose of everything in your life is to make the unconscious conscious. It’s to bring everything up in you that you have been resisting and avoiding, and afraid to feel up and out of you in order to make it conscious and transform it back into light, and back into love so that you can be at peace in the midst of that feeling once uncomfortable. 

Today, I’d like you to  live as if you created everything. Be accountable and responsible for everything and welcome the corresponding feelings inside of you that your experience is evoking and accept them, embrace them and love them, no matter what they are. 

You are not here to get rid of anything. You are here to realize that who you are, as you are, is totally adorable and loveable. That is the end result of your meditation practice. 

Resting in the awareness of your breath transforms your life into a living meditation. 

Letting Go Of Limitations

You’re so much more than all of the labels that have been spoken over you. Every label that you identify with inherently comes with its own set of limitations. Identification is the root cause of why we suffer. We take that label of being a ‘good spouse’, being a ‘good parent’, being a ‘good business owner’ and because we are identifying with this piece of programming or conditioning around it and what that means, we’re forever falling short. 

At some point we remember on our journey of waking up, loving and accepting ourselves, that we are just pure consciousness. That we’re literally an infinite presence, here for a limited time, expressing and experiencing uniquely. 

So today, I want to lovingly ask you to identify the labels that are the root cause of your suffering and to be freed of them. What would happen if you could finally just let go of it all. What would happen? My whole life, people have been trying to define me, as they have you. I realized that every definition that was superimposed over the infinite consciousness that I really am, there’s a limitation. 

What would happen today if you allowed yourself to surrender your identification with these labels, if you allowed yourself to just be everything; to no longer need a rigid fixed form, to be spontaneous from intuition, allowing yourself to pitch and catch with your reality, responding with love in every moment or responding authentically as you see fit?

What would happen?

Identification is the root cause of all human suffering. And as an infinite consciousness, you cannot be defined.
