Universe Hugs

There are so many ways to feel the frequency of Love in this Loving Universe. For many years I have been deeply in touch with what I like to call Universe Hugs – and it has made ALL the difference. I KNOW a Loving Universe and I am so very grateful! No matter what else I learn or come to KNOW about this place (and there is a lot of absolutely CRAZY stuff to unlearn and learn here), I always come back to the KNOWING I have about the Love that I KNOW so well…and nothing can ever take that away.

Universe Hugs are noticed in the synchronicities, seen in the signs, felt in the tingles, experienced in the nudges, there while being guided and more – they come in countless forms (sometimes even in not getting what we think we want 😊). They leave a warm, just hugged feeling in, on and around your body and a lingering smile on your face that you feel in your heart. They comfort you like nothing else. They have a language of their own and nothing could be better than learning to speak that language well. 

For me, these Universe Hugs keep me plugged into my higher self / soul / intuition / Source / Universe, etc. (whatever we may feel like calling It at the time … depending on the situation it does have different ‘levels’ for lack of a better label/term). There are so many layers to this language and relationship. It feels like different levels at times but all connected to Oneness in the most beautiful ways. Words can’t really touch what I’m trying to explain here… so hopefully these pointers just get enough across. 😊

Are you feeling hugged today? Are you receiving what the Universe is surely trying to give you? 

In Life, whenever we feel we are lacking one thing or another… we have simply identified the thing that we must give! When we give that which we feel we are missing, we change everything. We enter the Flow of Life. 

…there was a time in my life when I wished to be hugged more
…that was a long long time ago
We Create the Hugs! My Life is filled with them in so many rich and magical ways today and ALL of my days! 

Today is a great day to find a way – that feels authentic and genuine for you – to hug your Higher Self! You deserve it. You’re always there – whether noticed or not – you’re there. You’re Loving, you’re full of Hugs, you’re constantly cheering you on in so many magnificent ways. If you take the time to do this, to feel this, to authentically BE this… in no ‘time’ at all, you will be seeing the signs, feeling the tingles, experiencing the nudges, being guided in miraculous ways and more… but, we don’t do it just for that… we do it because we are LOVE. We are Alive when we give it and when we receive it. We are. Love is. I Am.  

Note – the Universe is All things… when we give to any of it, we’re giving to ourselves… separation is the grand illusion… that authentic Hug you give to your Higher Self may look like giving it to someone else, or even a tree, or a beautiful meditation, or simply a kind thought, the ripples and miracles aren’t for explaining – they are for experiencing.

I Love you! I am sending you Spirit Hugs! …I am also sending so much gratitude to the countless people I see here sharing in this space that are in touch with their Higher Selves and living a soulful Life as they send out ripples and miracles in the most uniquely beautiful ways each and every day. It is such a magnificent thing to witness. Thank you so very much! I love you!

Where Our Hearts Soar

This ‘world’ – as it works so hard to appear
Is tuned to the frequency of outright fear

As it screams louder and louder
Making its intentions blatantly clear
The Heart’s ability to reside ‘here’
Is certain to utterly disappear

There is always ‘somewhere’ else to go
The place our Hearts most truly KNOW

From within we shall inhabit this home
From there we shall learn to never roam
There is abundant room for All
Whenever we may hear the call

There is pure Love to be found
Within at first and then all around

As more Hearts
Dwell there
We bring Love’s frequency
‘Here’

I will see you and feel you as the core
Where All of our Hearts Soar

I love you!

Love IS – that’s All!

Love IS – that’s ALL! Once we truly understand who we are (or at least find ourselves on that path), the reactionary loop of constantly agreeing or disagreeing with every single thing – just kind of floats away – it is quite lovely and it makes room (layer by layer) for absolute unconditional LOVE – which is All – that truly matters!

Listening deeply to one another is such a gift! Holding space for the other to be heard/seen/understood without the snap reaction and/or judgment is such a gift. It has the power to change everything in miraculous ways! This doesn’t mean we don’t have our own opinions and/or beliefs on things – quite the contrary. We just don’t live from a place where our Knowing depends on how others feel about it or where what others choose to believe and focus on has such an effect on us.

At a higher level, we listen better with the open mind and heart that knows it knows nothing and is functioning from Being rather than thinking. We can hear with more than our ears and include our hearts and entire Beings – true generous listening. We may remember more than we can imagine as we open to truly experiencing everything in our path rather than simply reacting to each and every little thing.

If we’re triggered into a reaction from something we see/hear someone trying to communicate – well, that just leaves plenty of room for inner work and can be considered a great and wonderful gift indeed – like a well-drawn map to the perfect target for our growth and expansion!

Sent with so much Love!

Fresh Eyes

Whatever we look at today, may we see it with fresh eyes.

All too often, we look with the eyes of yesterday.  We allow our past experiences and judgments to drag us through our life and relive themselves again and again.  This isn’t living.  We can’t fully come to the present moment and live our soul’s purpose and essence until we can put down our veil of perception grown in the past and grounded in fear and future.

We can practice looking at the world and everything in it with fresh, clear, new eyes.  When we do, we will experience the flow of life in miraculous ways.  We can shift how we experience everything.  Everything that passes through our vision has our thoughts attached to it as we take it in.  We look and attach a label, draw on past experiences as we assume they will repeat themselves and then react accordingly.  Living this way, we miss the actual moment and what may be possible within it entirely.  We can change the thoughts we attach and open up to the Life we already have waiting for us to experience it fully.

I arrive again and again at the miraculous truth that the unknown is all there really is and it is much better than knowing everything…or at least thinking we do.  We really don’t know what the future holds and we would have much more peace if we didn’t feel the need to know.  As we shift our perceptions and feel what is really going on in the Divine Universe, we can begin to trust that whatever lies in the unknown is far better than anything we can conjure up with our little ideas about how things should go.  Even when things seem to be against us, we usually see the reason it was the perfect for us later.  We can trust it all.  It is so much more meaningful and, in fact, fun, to just go with the flow and see what happens.  My favorite saying lately is simply, “I don’t know, let’s see what happens.”  It is a joyful relief that comforts me so…much better than gripping life too tight and continuously striving for some semblance of control.  That “control” only blocks Life and all its miracles.

We never really know what we are looking at…even the most familiar things.  Once things become familiar to us we no longer see them.  We must make the effort to see them fresh.  It will awaken our soul and we will come alive to Life simply by seeing what is really there in front of us rather than seeing our thoughts attached to it.

Yesterday at the grocery story, I saw my kids beside me with absolutely fresh eyes.  The magical love I felt gave me chills all over.  They looked like little miracles standing there near me.  I felt like the luckiest person alive just to have them hanging out with me.  I watched them for a few moments, one intently looking through items at the counter and one surveying the people all around…it was as if I had never seen them before.  I saw them so clearly and I knew throughout my being that I have been blessed in the most amazing way.   I could have been distractedly handling that grocery line moment that we have been through what seems like millions of times…instead I was there with fresh eyes and filled with the tingle of Life running through my senses.

I cherish John O’Donohue’s words on the unfamiliar…with gratitude I keep his lessons on seeing the unfamiliar in the most familiar things close to my heart.  I love what A Course In Miracles taught me and continues to teach me about perception.  I try to remember these lessons as I go through my days…sometimes with fresh eyes, often a bit blurry with flashes of clarity.  Recently in my reading, Mark Nepo spoke of these ideas as “love at first sight”… it opened up a new understanding in me.  I like the term “love at first sight” used in this way.  That was what happened to me at the grocery store.  I looked at two of the most familiar people in the world to me and my eyes were so fresh that it was indeed Love At First Sight!  Perhaps that is why they say love is all that matters and love is all there is…because when you get your eyes right…love is all you can see and all you can Be.

These ideas are not reserved for easy situations and circumstances.  We can apply them to Everything.  These fresh new eyes are the ones to use even if we have people in our lives that we feel have wronged us or our loved ones or are in conflict with us in some way, we can look at them with fresh eyes and live only what is in the actual moment in our meetings with them.  We don’t have to bring our past experiences with tough people to every interaction with them and we don’t have to replay old movies in our head of how we already know them and what they are all about.  We are never exactly the same in any two moments, we can meet everyone fresh in the moment we are actually in.  If we can do that, we will surely see that things are always much better in the actual moment without brining all the thoughts about it to keep us distracted or reliving past moments.

Everything around us can feel how we are using our eyes and other senses.  Our eyes can bring love or fear.  When we’re fresh and present, everything expands to be more fully and authentically alive…even the flower can stand taller.  We open life up and we live authentically.  The simple choice to use our senses to see things fresh brings the frequency of love that is all there really is to see.

Wishing you countless moments filled with the true and infinite “Love At First Sight” that is always available to us.  May we all have the courage to look at it all anew.  Let’s see it all fresh!

Sending you love and joy!  May the tingle of Life run through your senses!
