Lighten Up for Spring

Now that the Spring Equinox has passed the natural world swings into a new gear. Here is an opportunity for us all to lift with it. 

We have just returned from a long weekend in Northland where the new season is well underway. It is a place of astonishing natural beauty. It is not hard to appreciate the good things when your lover shares them with you- the warm sunshine, good food and magnificent scenery. I wish everyone could experience such light, such love. 

Universal law operates on every plane of existence. Nothing in life is static – everything moves, shifts or vibrates if you like. Like is attracted to like, under the same law.

So if you desire better experiences, a higher rate of being or a greater connection to spirit you must raise your rate.

By choosing to focus on the good you attract more good things into your life. 

Love what you have, in the place where you are and more good can come to you then.

Spring is the perfect time to make this shift. You will be in harmony with the planetary life in which you live and move and have your being.

The tendency of nature is to positive activity, so you are really choosing to work with your intrinsic nature rather than against it.

Positive thoughts vibrate faster than negative ones. Everything in life works this way.

As a musical note raises in pitch the string vibrates at a faster rate. Colour changes in the same way. So you can control your thoughts and experiences as a musician controls a musical instrument.

 Do you see? By choosing to see the good around you and to consciously think in a positive way you lift your vibrational rate. At the same time you positively affect those around you.

Being conscious of your energetic alignment and choosing to lighten up helps you to lift up out of the swinging pendulum between opposites which is so characteristic of the duality of life.

When you are unaware of your ability to lighten your life then the slow energy of negative people and environments will find you. Like attracts like.

In unhealthy company it is easy to be “dragged down” to sluggish physical energy and depressed emotions. This brings unhappy experience along with it, affirming a negative outlook on life.

What kind of life would you prefer? 

Counting Blessings

Ocean Beach, Whangarei Heads, Northland, New Zealand

We have been up North again looking for a block of land to create a retreat centre. Thanks to Greg and his beautiful cottage at Parua Bay we had a tranquil place to return to at the end of the day.

There is some beautiful country around the Whangarei Heads. Climbing up the cliffs at Ocean Beach on a clear day we were treated to something awe inspiring. A deep swell was rolling in against the rough hewn black rocks. From our feet to the horizon lay a tone poem – at least seven shades of blue on green, while heat clouds massed behind us, banking blue-grey across the bush covered hills.

Sometimes in our daily routine it is hard to find a moment to stop and appreciate how rich life really is. It takes a shift in our point of view to see the good things all around us. Yet those momentsof gratitude support our life. By placing our attention on what we appreciate we attract more good things to us. This is a Universal Law at work and is found expressed in all religions world wide. He who expresses gratitude for what he has, be it money, love, health or whatever, he will attract to himself more of it. What you put your attention on grows in other words. So if we ignore our good, complain often about lack of time, or money, we will certainly attract more of that too.

Sitting up on the cliff surrounded by such incredible beauty I was reminded to count my blessings.

What do you appreciate in your life right now?
