The profound beauty and intelligence of life never ceases to be amazing.  Even more incredible is the way that we each embody this beauty and intelligence at any given moment. The quickest way is to stop and connect with our breath.  In and out.  Give and take. Take on and release.  Flow in and out.  The very thing that brings life to our bodies and our minds mirrors the profound universe that we live in.  All around us and in is this flux.  The funny thing is that it all happens without our being the least bit aware of it.  God made sure that we would continue to experience the beauty and simplicity of the universe we are inhabiting every moment and not have to actively engage,  unless we wanted to.  God wants us to be a part of the flow of life.  God desires for us to experience the circulation of love so much so that our bodies are designed to take in this new life through our breath and without us even thinking about it send it directly to our heart which circulates it through our entire body. There is no mistake that the heart is the organ linked with love.  It is the very mechanism by which life is flowing in and through us.  Just think of how much more profound of an understanding you have of this when you decide to pay attention to it and align your thinking with it.  I curiously found myself experiencing this in a new way several years ago.  As I stepped into an awareness of life and how and who I was being in this life, I noticed that my thinking was often dominated by things other than love.  Without warning I would have thoughts of judgment, limitation and separation.  It was a wake up call that explains why I was so bent on self-destruction.  Based on some experiences in my past I had constructed a way to block myself off from being hurt.  Unfortunately, this caused me to block myself off from love and life as well.  As I decided with God’s help that I wanted to change this, it became clear that I needed to learn how to breathe and let go.  I had been so used to being in a state of constriction that it was difficult at first and I had little patience for myself.  Thank God I came into contact with others who were actively working on the same thing,who had transformed their lives, and could show me a way.  On a basic level today this looks like me being aware of those thoughts and ideas of limitation, judgment, and separation and asking God to bring in love.  The ideas don’t disappear but I allow them to flow through me and align myself with the opposite of them by asking God to bring into my true sense of being.  When someone walks into a room and I hear the voice in my head make a judgment about them, I stop and look at them and repeat the word love over and over until I feel the shift in my breath and in my being.  I think I had hoped the thoughts would go away and maybe someday they will, but for now they remind me that I still need God and am not alone. This in the end is the essence of being of life-to know that I am connected to the Source of ALL LOVE.  My prayer for us today is that we notice those things or ideas that block us from the flow of life and use them as opportunities to reconnect to the FLUX of LOVE that God has placed and is already at work in our system.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
