Aloha Friends,
Today feels like a day of re-evaluation. A day for reflection on who I truly am. We all have things about ourselves that are difficult to look at. Everyone has experienced some sort of painful moment that was so hard to be in and we couldn't wait for tomorrow...
Well today is tomorrow! Lets feel good about our positive successions! If we happen to find ourselves in a moment of tough reality all we can truly do is remind ourselves that time goes on and we have beautiful things to look forward to.
You are the only person that can think for you; therefore your only true therapist or confident. Love yourself enough to make the right choices for you :).
Malama ke pono!
<3 Aloha

Aloha!
Today I am pondering all of the connections I have ever made with another human and how it has shaped my personal experience. When we share our feelings with others we often feel challenged to find the words to say to accurately describe what it is we are feeling. Unless there has been much practice in our diction, words can often be mistaken for a meaning that was not intended.
Our deepest relationship; mother, father, partner, etc; have the power to significantly alter our conscious thought to convey to the person with which we are speaking. The ultimate reason is because we care for the other person. Unfortunately, unless we have bared all of our feelings; the good, the bad, and the ugly, the people we care for and whom care for us cannot know how to soothe our aching heart when there is an issue.
There are people out there who may be sensitive to others feelings but no one can really read the EXACT train of thought in your head. It has been said many times and will be said again; think before you speak if you are unsure of the affect on the other person. There are many ways to say things openly and honestly with KIND words to say everything needed. Name calling, foul language, and hostile tones of voice can completely steer what could be a transforming conversation into the toilet.
If you care about the person you are speaking with, or even if you are presntly having a very hard time caring for that person, remember that they have feelings too. I am not saying one should candy coat the conversation, only to consider your word choice and the way the words are delivered. Creating a space where you open your heart and mind to truly connect with another person and share honestly can be a very strengthening experience. At times there are very hard things to say, yet when we say; "This is very difficult for me to speak with you about but I choose to be honest about ......." it sounds a lot better than " I really didn't want to tell you this.....".
It is OK to take a few minutes before a conversation and take a few deep breathes to clear our heart and mind. Taking these few extra moments to sort out your thoughts and align yourself with a truly happy opening of your heart can change the result of your relationships. This simple method of gathering yourself can direct your life in new ways. As well as remembering no one likes to be called foul names or have negative energy directed at them.
It makes us feel small, weak, and tumultuous when we are confronted with negativity. If you want positive results, be positive:)
It does take us time to break our negative habits in a world filled with confusing choices and changes. You are not alone in your feeling of lonliness because the people you aren't truly opening up to that you care about are being cheated of the whole you. If you can't talk to the people you love then you must question why, in reality, there is nothing we should feel that we need to hide. Part of the reward is getting to remind yourself that every postive step you take and choice you make is exactly that- a reward!
Happy Aloha Saturday!

I feel today that the world before me is a new map. Things have changed and I am beginning to see global as local. All day yesterday I felt as though I was connected to everyone that had ever lived's pain and suffering as this universal lesson to be greatful for the things that we often take for granted.
I awoke with this feeling of love for all that is around me and an appreciation that I have my healthy heart, mind, body, and soul. We all go through challenges sometimes and yes, bad things do happen to good people. But my question for you to ponder upon today is; if nothing bad ever happened to good people could they truly appreciate just how good they are?
Every turning point we come to is like going to a table with three identically wrapped gifts. They are all fairly large packages and the only difference is the color of the bow. In one box there is vaccuum sealed rotten fish guts. In another is a cozy silk robe. In the third there are many more boxes inside stacked like russian dolls. The smallest and most tightly wrapped box in the very bottom is a tightly wrapped bar of gold.
Obviously, no one wants the fish guts which ironically one cannot smell because of the genius wrapping and hidden deception. The silk robe, although comfortable, is clearly not the choice because ultimately it is cold out there and silk is a thin coverering of vanity. After being sadly surprised but continuing to work hard towards the final gift of the many boxes; there is a reward of rarity that can solidly further one's path.
The "blind gift test" is one that we all recieve whenever faced with finding solutions to our problems. We all know that we want the gold bar, but which box is it in? The solutions are constantly wrapped in more beautifully decieving packages each time. The choice we make determines the outcome of our crossroads.
We are all handed "golden choices" each day which could be as simple as bringing a jacket on a day when it looks slighty cloudy; so we don't get caught in the rain and complain to other people wearing rain coats all day. Or as complex as letting the ones you love learn their lessons from a distance.
Whenever you find yourself faced with a choice, take a few seconds to evaluate the continual effect of this choice. Will this burrito upset my stomache? Are the people I agree to be around truly supporting my highest path? We are all here to accomplish something in life; to live up to our true potential! If we aren't headed in that direction we need to question why and how we can turn our frown upside down!

Everyone we come accross is both our student and our teacher

When one slows down for long enough to observe the universal behavior of humans we are able to attain priceless information. There is a flow connected to every twitch, itch, and blink of an eye. This is called body language; scientifically we are all aware of it's affect on the mind's perception. The human connection to one another was initially created in a way that language was unspoken. This simple truth is the beginning to understanding the basic human to human relationship.
A bond between mother and child is one that may strengthen, strain, or sadden the human "heart" at any given turn in life. The first "chunk" of life for a child is spent communicating only through emotional and physical signs (i.e. crying, laughing, screaming). A mother over time becomes so attuned to her child's screams and outbursts that eventually there is an unspoken language between them. The example of this unspoken launguage between mother and child illustrates how we as adults often react to our peers unknowingly and make ourselves available to pattern impatience.
As teenagers we often would storm off stomping and huffing with crossed arms. This childish behavior would immediately aggrivate the adults whom were attempting to guide us towards the light of truth. Unaware and unable to find comfort within ourselves we shut out the world with our own irreality. That behaviour creates the"Know-it-all syndrome". Irresputabley this is a condition that every human being has been witness to at least once. As a common vice pattern, it has the power to shelter our ego-self from realizing when someone cares for our well being. Initially as we grow into our phases of independance, we humans question the guidance we receive because it is un-charted territory. If there is even one shred of doubt about how the system works then the ability of doubt amplifies. Thus leaving a filmy residue on our ability to see clearly.
One very important time to be clear in a verbal conversation with another human is if we feel as though we are receiving advice from another that we should question, there is a period of time in which we must listen. Absolutely listen and shut out all inner mind chatter so we may clearly take in the whole of the information. Not just the words but the tone of voice, speed of words, and body language of the speaker.This "listening period" is not a time of torture and being told that you are "wrong". It is simply the oportunity to consider a viewpoint of another human being. This outside viewpoint will affect you in either a positive or a negative way
As a lightworker, my opinion is that there are two determining forces; the ego-self and the true-self.
Since the beginning of time and spirituality there has been a distinct difference between light and dark. For the description of light to be valid there must be dark. The tried and true scientific law- "each and every action has an equal and opposite reaction" is a basic view of this principle. Negativity's driving force, the ego-self; is an entity of uncertainty, anger, and dispair. This necessary evil is one that we must be aware of in order to realize and embrace our inner light; the true-self.
Our true-self is our biggest cheerleader in leaving our heavy burdens of fear and morose in the darkness so we may feel the happy warmth of our shining light. Inside we all have a dimmer switch which we can turn up or down at any moment. At it's peak setting burning all the time, your "lightbulb" will eventually burn out. The clearest visual is a flashlight with a dimmer switch. This "flashlight" is focused upon where you shine it, comfort fills you having a clear image of your focal point. Kept on late in the night and not turning it off before you fall asleep, when you clearly don't need it will cause you to have discomfort in the future.
An applicapble situation in real life to understand this furthur is when the clerk at your favorite coffee shop is shaken and upset about her boyfriend giving her criticisim at home that she carries over her anger to work and accidentally burns you with your own coffee. This domino affect will not only create agitation for you and test your strength to stay in the light; but also remorse within her for yet again creating drama.
An opportunity to strengthen your personal light:
Apply more energy towards being aware of the people around you and see how they react to the commercials on television or to how they are being spoken to. Be aware of the power each word that crosses your lips has. When I realized how negatively I was speaking towards the people I loved, I immediately altered each and every situation. If you truly love the people that you say you love then show them that love. With each smile and just one random act of kindness occasionally you will feel brighter and more alive. No matter how small the gesture, a positive nudge can become contagious. Choosing to see the difference between light and dark, true and false, helpful and hurtful is a process that is going to leave speachless and smiling as to what you learn.
Take from my words only the knowledge that by simply reading these posts and allowing yourself to process them has brought me the warmth and joy that nothing else can. You have respected my beliefs and for that I truly care about each and every one of you... so any comments you have I'd be happy to discuss and consider :)!
