Moon Beams

I stepped out onto the back porch into the setting of the full moon. Bella Luna, I whispered, and then took a deep breath as if inhaling the moon itself. My mind engulfed in the passion of moon beams and suddenly I felt recharged, free, and dwelling in the present moment.

What did you notice about yourself today as you awoke and stepped into the moon beams? Will you look at each step you take today as dwelling in the present moment?

Heaven on Earth

“Dance like no one is watching and live life as if it’s heaven on earth.” – Mark Twain.

I feel unbelievably free when I am dancing as if no one is watching, and when I live life as if it is heaven on earth then my heart loves more than I imagine possible. My mind becomes free of all that drags it down and my heart lights up like that of a wild flower in a field on a breezy summer day. To be free is undeniably liberating. It is Be-ing in the present moment. It is allowing yourself to embrace that which doesn’t serve you, loving it and releasing it into the gentle wind. Reach deep down and discover the power within and contemplate on what makes your heart sing.

Ah, for the rest of today I am going to dance among my blooming sunflowers and let my heart sing along with the delicate voice of the sparrow.

What about you? Are you willing to dance like no one is watching? How will you live as if heaven on earth is surrounding you, within you? What steps will you take today to embrace a negative thought, dance with it and set it free? How will you meet yourself right where you are and indulge yourself in self-love and self-compassion?
