Energy Share for Sunday

July 4, 2010

All risk risks rejection.
The sting of criticism can create a spiral of shame.
Bitten by shame, it is easy to become embittered,
to shrink back from life and slide toward despair.

I do not allow myself this dangerous luxury.
Faced with hostility I turn within for spiritual comfort
reminding myself I am a child of the Universe
worthy of love, care, and respect.

Aware of my vulnerability, I treat myself gently with the same care
I would extend to an injured friend.
My dignity is grounded in my spiritual identity.
I hold my worth in the face of hostility
I am unshaken by the sting of personal assault.
I allow my heart to be a fortress.
My spirit is like the face of a mountain proud and bright in the sun.

Today, I stand firm in my own worthiness.
My dignity is solid and enduring.
My faith is the rock on which I build my life.
I dare to risk and I risk my daring.
I am large enough to survive my losses and enjoy my gains.

Transitions: Prayers & Declarations for a Changing Life
by Julia Cameron

Today, I share with you the boost to give you strength of heart and courage to go forward in life in spite of uncertainty, scarcity, and conflict.  To help us remember that we are more than the sum of our parts, more than the temporary physical reality of our present circumstances.  That we can dream and bring into existence a time and place of meaning and purpose.  With the fine line of life and death even closer than ever, now is the time to live your choice.  Will that be to live in fear knowing that or will it be to live each day as if it were your last?

I welcome and embrace the energy boost from you so that I may do the same and gratefully acknowledge your part in the giving and receiving of heartfelt energy. Thank you for all you do as healers, teachers and friends.

Happy Independence Day for all our stateside friends and family!  I'm sure it's been wellspent...trips to the beach, barbeque, fireworks...all those things we enjoy that bring us together for a holiday celebrating the birth of this country and honoring the soldiers that fought to claim its independence. Enjoy the previous posts, my apologies with the delay of the share message brought on by technical difficulties.

Let us remember to be present in every moment and live the passionate life you intend it to be.

Aloha pumehana (with blessings, love and affection)!
