How to Fully Embrace the Gift of Change

How to Fully Embrace the Gift of Change

Written by Margot Zaher and Jafree Ozwald

We are so blessed to be living in an ever-changing Universe. Everything is always changing. Everything is always fresh, new and alive! Change is the greatest spice of life and without it life becomes a dull predictable monologue. This changing nature is always bringing you unimaginable possibilities, new opportunities, blessings, and new experiences in each moment. Because of the ever-changing nature of your world, there is always something new at your door. There is always something new to support you and challenge you to evolve into the divine soul that you truly are. This constant dynamic changing moment allows you to fully be alive and truly savor each experience since you don't know if it will be the last time you experience it.

"Change alone is eternal, perpetual, immortal." ~ Arthur Schopenhauer

One of the golden essential keys to embracing the divine gift that change is cultivating trust in the Universe. The truth is that the Universe loves you, and wants you to experience everything that you desire. Hasn't it always provided for you in your life up until this moment? All the changes the Universe sends you are really gifts for you that it wants you to unwrap and discover the beauty of. And best of all these are gifts that you have asked for on some level because you are creating your reality in each new moment. You can trust that the Universe and your infinite nature are working together to support your evolution as a soul, and therefore you can deeply know that all change that you encounter is here for the purpose of your on-going abundance, and awakening to the truth of your being. Stop and realize that you are the divine co-creator behind the scenes, continuously creating this awesome experience that is about to come your way and change will heed to your beck and call.

"The core of your being is permanent; things in the world are not. They are fleeting phenomena passing on the screen of the mind. Only consciousness is eternal and stationary." ~Ramana Maharshi

There is only one thing in the Universe that is permanent, and never dies. This is the essence of what/who you truly are. The divine infinite being that you are is always here now, awake, present and conscious. This remains changeless, and timeless forever. The good news is that no matter what changes in your outer world, you will continue to remain. Perhaps it's the end of a relationship, or the beginning of a new relationship, the core of your being remains untouched and changeless through it all. You are not touched by the periphery. The true you that never dies can never be tainted by all of these seemly important or not so important changes that happen in your life. You will always be. You are an eternal being that continuously resides in a forever deepening pool of inner peace and contentment. Knowing this, you master the whirlwind of chang e around you. The next time that change comes a knocking at your door, open the door and receive it with open, loving arms. You will be amazed at how much easier your life flows, and how much more abundance you manifest when you can allow all types of change to be a part of your life.

"It's not so much that we're afraid of change, but that place in between that we fear. It's like being between trapezes. There's nothing to hold on to." ~ Marilyn Ferguson

What's interesting is that some people spend their entire lives resisting change. They try to stop it by procrastinating, avoiding and getting upset when the possibility of change arrives at their door. Sometimes change knocks at your door disguised as a dirty homeless person. Most people may immediately say "NO" and shut the door on this person, looking the other way. What they don't understand is that at their doorstep is the most abundant Kings and Queens of this Universe who are wanting to offer you their entire kingdom. When they knock, it is your job to open the door with appreciation and say, "Thank you! Come in! How can I be of service to you?" When you greet change this way, you tend to master the wheel of change instead of feeling it has mastered you.

"You cannot step twice into the same river, for other waters are continually flowing in." ~ Heraclitus

When you start embracing change, especially the changes that your mind believes to be wrong or bad, it will create an unimaginable state of liberation and freedom in your life. It is only when we resist change that we experience suffering, sadness, and fear. It's like breathing, when you resist the next breath of air, you start to suffocate and get weaker inside. It's only when you go with the flow and welcome the next inhalation and exhalation that you truly feel alive! When you fully open yourself up to this experience of welcoming life, you discover a power inside you that is unstoppable. You are afraid of nothing and are willing to experience anything the Universe offers. From this place, the Universe will bow down to you and hand over everything you want on a silver platter. All you get to do is sit back and let the abundance come pouring in.

How to Find the Key that Unlocks Your Heart

How to Find the Key that Unlocks Your Heart

By Margot Zaher and Jafree Ozwald

Often it happens that life will invite us to grow and evolve into a higher state of consciousness by offering us a challenging emotional experience. In this challenge, we always have the choice to respond to it by either shutting down and closing off our heart to it, or opening up our heart and being willing to experience something more expansive and new. Sometimes we get into these habits in life where we close off our heart as a way of trying to protect and defend ourselves in order to survive. This can cause us to live everyday with a heart that is either halfway open to experiencing life, or completely closed. This experience of having a habitually closed heart is not something permanent, wrong, or something to be afraid of. It's just another experience and challenge that your soul asked for to initiate massive growth and nudge you to dive inside to discover a deeper spiritual experience at your core.

“The moment you have in your heart this extraordinary thing called love and feel the depth, the delight, the ecstasy of it, you will discover that for you the world is transformed.” ~ Jiddu Krishnamurti

One of the easiest ways to unlock your heart energy today is to consciously send loving energy to everyone you meet. As you go through your day imagine loving every human being you see or think about with your mind. Love is the key that opens the door to your heart and the path to your soul. It is amazing how this simple sweet exercise will transform your energy in a matter of minutes and raise your manifesting vibration. Whenever you meet someone, be it a stranger, an old friend, or your spouse, focus on directing loving energy towards them. The easiest way to do this is to connect with their innermost soul by looking into their eyes, and recognize that Divine essence and sparkle inside of them. Meet with that radiance and send them a silent loving thought like, "I see the beauty inside of you, I notice your Divine Nature, or I love you." The more you consciously direct this loving energy outwards, the more your own heart opens allowing you to f eel full of love and totally alive.

"The highest reward for an act of kindness is not what you get by doing it, but what you become by doing it." ~Unknown Author

You'll find that the more open your heart becomes, the more you become like a magnet that is constantly attracting the experiences, people, and things you desire into your life. By simply choosing to continuously open your heart all day today you are automatically going to attract more experiences that make your heart sing tomorrow! Inside your heart is the essential energy behind manifesting your desires into this physical reality. The specific feeling and frequency of where your heart is at now, literally magnetizes or repels a specific experience or thing into existence in your future. Thus, more open and expansive your heart is, the more you magnetize powerful, loving and expansive experiences into your life.

“See if you can stretch your heart and expand your love so that it touches not only those to whom you can give it easily, but also to those who need it more than you.” ~ Unknown Author

It's important to realize that if you are always sending love to others, that you also stop to let it in for yourself. Loving yourself is another powerful way of unlocking your heart and allowing this great richness into your life. A daily practice of self-love will keep your heart opening to life rather than closing, and will allow you to feel more loving support from every soul in this world. You can instantly send love towards yourself by consciously choosing to relax into your heart and accept yourself exactly as you are. Simply open your eyes to seeing that you are perfectly O.K. exactly as you are right now. Notice how your heart tends to open, soften and relax instantly. Another effective way to boost your self-love is to look into a mirror at your own beautiful eyes, and speak gentle, loving affirmations to yourself. Say things like, "I love you, you are so beautiful, or I love everything about you." If your heart is closed it may take a few minutes before it sinks in, yet you will be amazed at how you feel after you spend as little as 3 minutes sending yourself this powerful love energy. You will feel loved, expansive, and unstoppable which will translate into easily manifesting experiences that resonate with these powerful feeling states.

"When the heart is innocent and the walls have disappeared, you are bridged with infinity." ~Osho

A Nice Poem

lyrics: Mary Frye


Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am in a thousand winds that blow,
I am the softly falling snow.
I am the gentle showers of rain,
I am the fields of ripening grain.

I am in the morning hush,
I am in the graceful rush
Of beautiful birds in circling flight,
I am the starshine of the night.

I am in the flowers that bloom,
I am in a quiet room.
I am in the birds that sing,
I am in each lovely thing.

Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there. I do not die

How To Shine Your Light Like The Sun!

Written By Margot Zaher and Jafree Ozwald

You are a divine radiant being who has sooooo much to offer this world! The Universe has blessed you with a plethora of gifts, talents, and love to shine on everyone. The question is, "How to access this light and let it shine onto the world?" To become a beacon of light and love to those around you, simpl y recognize all of the amazing riches that the Universe has already given you. First start with thinking about what you DO have instead of what you DON'T have. What are you truly grateful for in your life today? Then ask yourself, "Who am I to receive these divine blessings?". You must already be divine if you are receiving such goodies! All it takes for you to step into your power is for you to open yourself up and receive what is already being offered to you.

"Some other things are like shooting stars, they shoot bright for a second and then pfft. We are like the sun shining, we shine forever." ~ Ziggy Marley

Many people are stuck in waiting for something "wonderful" to happen . They just keep wondering when the Universe is going to bless them with t hat golden lottery ticket. They spend their lives hoping that something better will come along, and longing for something that will allow them to step into their power and shine like the sun! It's time to wake up here. You have already won the lottery!! The Universe is your lottery and it is yours for the taking. It has already given you everything you need to feel loved, full of joy, enthusiasm, and truly successful. The light inside you is already on and shining for others. Yet, because you're not looking at your own light you may be missing it.

Perhaps you may be taking your life for granted or obsessing about the past or future which blinds you from seeing the beauty of your magnificent presence. Old wounding or traumas can cause clouds to form around the light of your being and tempt you to buy into the propaganda of others' limiting thinking patterns. Who you truly are is even more powerful and glorious than the Sun!! You can manifest anything you desire! The secret to clearing away these clouds of limiting beliefs and negative thoughts INSTANTLY is looking at your simple sweet Divine presence that's here now. Yes, at the core of your being resides an internal flame of light, love, and radiance. Sit with this focus for 5-10 minutes. It's worth your time. This is who you truly are. It is easy to part the clouds of the mind and see the light at the core of your being. This will allow others to see the magnificence inside you as well.

“Lighthouses don't fire cannons to call attention to their shining- they just shine.” ~ Dwight L. Moody

The interesting thing is that the more you pay attention to your inner light and prese nce, the easier things manifest for you. The more frequent you let this light shine through, the faster you manifest those amazing things you deeply desire into your physical world. Just like the Sun has a magnetic field that keeps all 9 planets magnetized to it, so too does your inner sun attract beautiful experiences to you. The radiant nature of your core is extremely powerful, beautiful, and unstoppable. When you let it shine on others, they are drawn to you like a moth to a candle flame. Once this shining power is unleashed, the entire world magically starts conspiring to help manifest your dreams into reality.

You may sometimes dim your inner light as a way of playing small so as to not threaten other beings who are near and dear to your heart. It's time to stop playing small, and start playing big. When you let your inner light shine, and fully step into your powe r, you automatically empower others to do the same. One powerful secret to being a guiding light for others is to write down your greatest desires and dreams. Yes, you may have many dreams that you have kept safely locked away, hiding behind the guards of fear and doubt. You can unlock these dreams and open the door to the magestic wonderland of infinite potentiality! Behind every hidden dream abides the potential energy to harvest and manifest that specific dream. Bringing them out to the surface allows the full radiant power of your being to shine its passion and excitement on them. This also causes your dreams to re-ignite, giving you even more motivation to manifest them.

Your dreams are a type of fuel which bring your inner fire to shine brighter for yourself and everyone else. When you let your BIGGEST, craziest, wildest dreams resurface you give others permission to spa rk up their dreams too! This causes a mass ignition of everyone's dreams in the world...leading the planet to a higher state of En-light-enment. If one by one, we all let our inner light shine brightly for others to see, we create a wave of light that will soon spread across the world and shine as brilliantly as the sun. Shining your light proudly and brightly for all to see is the surest and fastest way to enlightened the world around you. So let's all take off our lampshades, and let everybody see how truly brilliant and magnificent we are.

"And as we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same." ~ Marianne Willamson

Darkness To Light And Death To Immortality

Darkness To Light And Death To Immortality

By - Akhil Chandra
Diwali is a festival of lights. It symbolises the removal of darkness or ignorance with the light of knowledge and understanding. In larger parts of north India, Diwali is celebrated to commemorate the victory of Lord Rama over the evil Ravana, when people celebrated Rama’s return to his kingdom, Ayodhya. It is also an occasion when Lakshmi, also known as Sridevi, the goddess of wealth, is propitiated. But wealth ought to be earned or acquired through rightful means.
According to ancient Indian scriptures, attainment of wealth is one of the four legitimate and basic desires in the life of man. The four are dharma or righteousness, artha or wealth, kama or desire and moksha or freedom through communion with the Infinite. All these attainments of life when combined are known as purushartha.
Dharma is founded in truth and right conduct. It is the manner in which you live your life. Wealth has a wider connotation. Wealth is regarded not only as a token of exchange of goods or material wealth such as land, properties and grain but also includes priceless virtues such as patience, persistence, and purity. This wider meaning of wealth is symbolically celebrated by worshipping Lakshmi in her eight forms, referred to as Ashta Lakshmi.
Adi Lakshmi, the source goddess, is depicted serving her husband Lord Narayana who is omnipresent. So in effect, Adi Lakshmi serves entire creation. Dhana Lakshmi presides over not just material wealth but everything that is worthwhile. Dhanya Lakshmi provides food for sustenance, including grains. Dhairya Lakshmi infuses us with courage and strength. She is Gaja Lakshmi when, seated on a lotus, she is sprayed nectar by two elephants flanking her, and this is how she is visualised emerging, during the churning of the ocean.Santana Lakshmi bestows blessings on family, and Vijaya Lakshmi empowers us to win challenges. Vidya Lakshmi of knowledge and wisdom helps us discriminate between right and wrong.
One who has earned money through rightful means and hard work would be mindful of its value. But one who has obtained it dishonourably and who has followed the path of adharma, becomes a slave to acquisitions and squanders wealth so obtained.
Ayn Rand in Atlas Shrugged said that there are two classes of people in our society, those who create wealth through application of their mind and efforts and others, looters, obtaining money through fraudulent means. The first follows the path of dharma while the second follows the path of adharma.
Wealth obtained while following path of dharma comes through hard work and dedication. Bhartrihari has said that Lakshmi favours only those who are diligent and industrious. It is believed that Lakshmi or wealth goes only to those homes which are clean and where people are hardworking. She does not visit the places which are unclean or where people are lazy. Lakshmi is worshipped with Ganesh, God of wisdom who is also remover of obstacles. The owl, a bird which symbolises wisdom, is shown with Lakshmi as Her vahana or vehicle.
Illumination during Diwali conveys the message: “Tamaso Ma Jyotir Gamaya” — from darkness unto light — to all peoples of the world. It is by removing the darkness and filth of ignorance and negativity that we progress to knowledge and from non-awareness to awareness and higher consciousness. Such an enlightened state is tantamount to having achieved immortality.

How to Transcend The Roller Coaster Ride of Life

By Jafree Ozwald and Margot Zaher

"The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who can not read or write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn and relearn." ~Alvin Toffler

You are an eternal being who has come here to experience the ride of your life! You've signed up to attend this roller coaster ride called life so that you could learn some amazing things and grow immensely. Being the infinite soul that you truly are, you cannot die, so there is nothing really here to fear. To resist any experience you are given is just saying "NO" to this divine growth and forgetting you are infinite being. Saying NO to any experience is simply a mis-understanding of the infinite Self, and you end up defining yourself as small, helpless and finite. This is not the reason WHY you are here. You are here to say YES to each experience that arises no matter what is given.

Saying YES to every experience may sound even more tortuous, yet when you are willing to explore all the feelings and thoughts you have each moment of the day you reap the massive benefits from the highs and lows of your roller coaster ride. For each high and low contains a powerful gift for you, and this great gift is found when you are thrown back inside to find your infinite self and experience who you truly are. You are an eternal being that cannot be threatened, attacked or damaged. You are not this smaller ego self who has many opinions, needs, desires and struggles with mini-sufferings throughout your day. This Bigger YOU is the one who sees and welcomes the greater life lessons found in each experience. Discovering this Infinite Self is the only thing that can truly welcome your entire life as one great beloved roller coaster ride.

"The soul is the innermost being of man himself. The soul is contacted when one learns "to be still." If one will use his power of thought to become tranquil, he will begin to be instructed by God." ~Anna Lee Skarin

When you accept this roller coaster that you're on today, an overflowing abundance of peace, love and prosperity consciousness will eventually find you. You want to say YES to the highs and lows of life because you don't want life to be flat, stagnant with the same repetition of experiences. That would only bore you and become a redundant life with no deep growth and truly unworthy of living. Just remember that you are an eternal being, a soul, who cannot die! There is nothing to risk! You have come here to experience all the experiences you can on Earth. Knowing this, whatever your mind is worried about, stuck thinking about, investigating, and pondering over and over is simply not worth getting caught up in. This eternity inside you is much bigger and better than any thought or experience you will ever have.

Whatever we attain in this physical world will come and go in time, yet nothing can measure up to the immensity of this divine energy found within you now. Discovering this infinite source inside you is the ultimate freedom, and it is available for you to experience right now! There is no need to look outside your body for it. Just stop whatever you're doing and look inside. Look beneath your socialized conditioning and the mental chatter that the mind gets wrapped up in. Don't resist anything, welcome it all! In this you will unravel yourself and get to know that ever-flowing current of peace which is beneath your drama, tears and fears. Only if you truly stop and dive into your core will you find it. It has always been here now...always. This is the "goodness" that we are, and total freedom is your natural response to it.

"You are not inferior Beings in need of enlightenment. You are not insignificant particles in a vast, unending Universe. You are not misguided or forgotten children trying to find your way home… You are powerful Leading-Edge creators riding the most significant wave of expansion that has ever occurred. And it is our desire that you return to you conscious awareness of this so that your time in this physical body can be one of deliberate, conscious joy!" ~Abraham-Hicks

The greatest news of all is that you don't have to do a thing to find peace on this wild magical ride. You can simply relax into who you are right now. The roller coaster of life will still take you up and down, yet being relaxed you will remain calm, joyful and centered. When you are centered you naturally release any addictions to unsatisfying repetitive negative thoughts and behaviors. To find peace simply stop striving to get somewhere better than here now. Stop trying to become someone super special. You already are that which you seek. You can just relax into this experience and let life guide you home. When you relax into yourself, the abundance of love that you are naturally flows out into the world.

We invite you to spend a few minutes today to meditate on welcoming the roller coaster ride of life. This will support your mind in remembering the truth of who you are, and allow it to rest deeper inside. Even just 5 minutes will help you calm the crazy wild horses of the mind so that you truly enjoy this ridiculously wild ride. When you do relax and trust the process, you'll manifest higher highs and more enjoyable lows. Since life can only mirror back to you what is happening inside you, as you shift your focus onto the divine eternal being you truly are that is what you will find in everyone you meet. Enjoy!

Peace, Love, and Prosperity consciousness to you,
Jafree and Margot
