Beloved one,

You are trapped in your own constructs of reality therefor you experience the illusion of lack when in fact every moment is so full of Presence.

You have judged certain emotions to be in polarity to other emotions. Sadness as the opposite of Joy is a common example of this kind of construct. When in fact in the moment of sadness it is full of sadness. It is not full of the lack of joy.
In the striving for opposites when you are experiencing what you perceive as lack you create tension within your being. That tension binds you even further to the illusion of Lack. This is habitual. And it is a pattern within the realm of contextual reality which you are now experiencing as a Human being.

We invite you to look at this patterning. In the beginning not in the midst of you finding yourself entrained in these patterns but in a state of meditation and contemplation. What occured? What feelings and emotions did it bring up in your experience? What conclusions and thoughts arose? And then expand your Being to the Bigger. The true self.
If you have any problems with changing perspective you can imagine the event taking place on a tv-screen in front of you having your thoughts appear like subtitles.

Every moment of every day, every second.. every everything is whole and complete. Everything exists and nothing exists more than something else, nor does anything disappear just because you have decided you are not experiencing it at the moment. Your Being, your True Self, is beyond and within everything. And when you allow this truth as your source and be in full allowance every moment is everything. It is complete. It is completely full of itself. And with that Allowance comes a state of non-detachment setting you free from the patterning. And once you are in Allowance you are also able to rest in your Heart  and to land there and view from there. And when you make that greater and more important to you, than any emotion or thougth that passes through your experience, you are carried by the Greater, Source, knowing that just as this moment is whole and complete so are you.

Are you competing with God?

What a strange question you might think to yourself  and yet I think many of us go right into this trap.

For me praying has not really been on my agenda. Being brought up in a family colored by Christianity did not really bring me closer to God. Any idea of God. Actually only even further away. I refused to receive whatever I had decided God meant and of course also dind´t mean.
I had clearly created GOD as a separate being and me as a small human being in need of something. And thus also creating a dependency of sorts. Or looking for acceptance.

This also falls under the label of competition. How you might wonder?
If there is bad there is good. If there is wrong there is right. And for most part I find that if I/we feel afraid, separate or in need we turn to God. God is the Almight that is higher and better and can provide.

Is there a different way?
YES!
So look at this. This is not about religion per se. It is not about you being a member of any church. This is about your heart. This is about you surrendering, plunging into the Sea of All encompassing LIFE force. The Field in which all is created and all information is available. Source. Call it whatever you wish. And perhaps what is claimed to have come from Einstein: Either all is a miracle or none is. So are you, in your eyes, a Miracle? Are you? Are you as much a Miracle as All you can know and perceive?

What if you made room for that Greater to be a part of your life? The Source of All that is you also?

Prayer in the context of competition means that there is one that is better, bigger and more.
But Pryer can be connecting with that Source. Prayer in the Buddhist tradition actually means to let go of that which blinds ourselves from Knowing we are Beyond anything we can think. To become clear seeing. Awake. Aware. To see with our Enlightened self.

What if you today go into your heartspace. Relax for a few minutes. Take a few deep breaths and feel your body. Where is it. How is it. How are you feeling.
Then as you exhale allow all that you fear.. all that you think you lack to just fall to the floor. Like dropping a piece of clothing. And there you are. In your full potential. All LOVE. Now what would you heart like to say? Perhaps it whispers of Gratitude? Of hope? Of faith? Of love? Use that vibration and connect to the All Knowing Source of Creation and open yourself up to receiving that which is already existing in the field to come to you and manifest for you to experience. This is truly your space of choice. But you must be willing to enter your heartspace. And that heartspace is your connection to the Divine wether  you call it God or Allah or whatever you need to label it in order to create connection.

What if there is no competition. What if God is on your side? What if you are on your side? What if there are no sides? Or just one side? Oneness.

This is a personal story that I wish to share with you and I hope you find something in it that will shed light on your own path. Namasté, Stina

In my life two events including the passing of a loved one has colored my vision and also got stuck within me for a long long time, causing me suffering and pain.

The first one was with a human being, suddenlty killed in an accident, thus no suffering occured as I know of. He was at that current time my beloved.
The second one included a long, long friend for 17 years. He was a cat and his name was Solo. He was a kind soul and lived a mostly happy life with us but in the end suffered greatly due to health issues which lead him also to in his last days become blind.

Before I continue my story about how this has affected me I wish to share this old story of the two munks on their way back home to their monestary. Enjoy.

“A senior monk and a junior monk were traveling together. At one point, they came to a river with a strong current. As the monks were preparing to cross the river, they saw a very young and beautiful woman also attempting to cross. The young woman asked if they could help her cross to the other side. The two monks glanced at one another because they had taken vows not to touch a woman. Then, without a word, the older monk picked up the woman, carried her across the river, placed her gently on the other side, and carried on his 
journey. The younger monk couldn’t believe what had just happened. After rejoining his companion, he was speechless, and an hour passed without a word between them. Two more hours passed, then three, finally the younger monk could contain himself any longer, and blurted out “As monks, we are not permitted a woman, how could you then carry that woman on your shoulders?” The older monk looked at him and replied, “Brother, I set her down on the other side of the river, why are you still carrying her?”

Well, you might wonder, what does that have to do with what you just told me?
Last night as I was falling alseep a  voice spoke to me and told me:
” I have died, that is true, but I am no longer suffering. Why do you cry over my suffering when I am not? My death and my life has passed, that is true. But what lives still within you?”

Yes, I had separated the two events by the amount of suffering that I perceived had occured, not being able to see that the moment has already passed. The amount of pain I felt was in correlation to that suffering.  And yet, now,  in my present moment all I have, all that is still here, is the Love. Their earthy suffering, to which extent they were consiously experiencing any or not, is over. And yet the pain within me had lasted for so long. I felt so much pain in me when I thought about my beloved cat´s suffering than that of my beloved human. These matters are of course complex but the message remains.

What are you still carrying with you causing you to become unattentive to your present moment?

Most of us walk like strangers in our lives. We have separated parts of ourselves in different parts of our lives. Snippets. Chapters. Experiences. Tales.

The first step of awakening is the realisation that Everything is occuring in the present moment. How do you reach that point?
By Being and allowing all in the present moment. It may seem simple enough. But being fully present takes your energy and a conscious choice. There is enough happening in this moment. There is a lot going on.

Sit for a while. Connect with the body. Connect with the breath. Feel the breath. The inhale. The exhale. Focus on the breathe. Breathe. Just breathe. There is no right or wrong breathing. Your breathing is as it should be in the now. Keep breathing for about 7 minutes.
Breathing and focusing on the breath will make you aware of your mind and the tales it is telling you about the past and the future and about the shoulds and should nots.. the wants..the needs.. the longings and the things you wish to hide from yourself.
All the parts of yourself will come together in a process. A process of awareness. Now you become aware of that in this present moment you are experiening all times at the same time. All the patterns, all the choices.. all your creations will appear and speak with you. Just breathe.

If this awareness makes you feel trapped, fearful, feel feelings of guilt..shame.. blame.. regret or uneasy connect again with your body. Let the body show you where you are. How these perceived experiences affects you. And keep breathing.
You are becoming aware that this is true for all humans. This is one of the keys to awareness. The awareness of Oneness. 

We wish to contribute a bit further on the view of creation.
For so many a problem and a way of creating havoc in their hearts.
How is it possible to create something greater? How is it possible to keep faith? What can we lean on in times of despair?

Imagine a stream. Water flowing effortlessly. Full of power. Full of energy. Full of Life Force. Now imagine it is flowing through you. As light. As life.
And there you are.. envisioning. Experiencing. Creating. And in your minds eye you envision the future. A creation. And what do you nourish it with?

The flow of Energy is always connected with us, living through us yet we are the ones choosing the path. Choosing what we wish for, by nourishing our visions. If we have negative energy, destructive energy, unskillful energy and energy of force from what we wish to avoid the stream becomes tainted with that. If we nourish our creations with positive energy. That of joy. That of more. That of contribution. The energy will flow like in a stream. But if we totally get out of the way. If we have no attachment. If we lean on, if you wish. If we surrender and acknowledge that we BE that stream the floodgates will open. The energy will be immense. And  you will feel so much ease and grace. Even if the outcome touches you in ways that challenges you. You are held. You are resting.
You are. You Be.

Many walkers on Earth feel a longing.
An itch. A splinter in the brain. Something pulling.. pushing.. A longing. A longing for what is interpreted as a different place than here and a different time than now. How come?

At some point there has been a divorce. A veil has been put in front of the eyes making the vision unclear. A feeling of there being something wrong.
Leading to the interpretation that there is something wrong thus there must also be a right. A right-er place. Than here. And now.

But darling you. You. Beloved walker on Earth. You never left home. You are home. You are a visitor yes.  A walker. In another episode of Life. Of Living.
This is your current home. And whatever arises has nothing to do with the right and wrong you so much wish to label it with. It is all a matter of interpretation. So how do you wish to interpret your current situation as a walker on Earth?

Is it possible for you to live to the fullest, to experience and appreciate if you hide what is occuring behind veils?
As a walker on Earth you are being gifted the opportunity to BE with all that arises. Would you like that?
The pain. The fear. The Love. The hurt. The joy. The blossoming of a flower. The leaves falling off the trees. The bumblebees flying close to your nose. People behaving and misbehaving. What do you make of it?
In the Now is Everything. Nothing is separate. It all counts. All of it.

What is vulnerability?
When you are willing to Be with all that arises in your experience.

As you allow all to Be without judging it you will eventually find that all you fear is based on the Illusion of Loss & Lack.
In the Oneness of Allness there can be no loss. Only change. It is that change that we fear most.
Why? Because in our mind, in the Ego if you will, change leads to a new unexpected and unfamiliar experiences.

As you move further and further into the restful Place of True Knowing that  YOU ARE LOVED – ALWAYS LOVED this fear subsides because you are no longer anchored in that which is defined but peacefully you dwell in the Realm of Oneness.

Many fear that they will loose their identity if they move into such a place. In fact you are never the same. The only thing that is and stays are your outlook on the world, your judgments and your conclusion. But even they shift. In acknowledging this you are able to BE fully vulnerable with each thought, feeling and emotion that arises as it no longer poses a threat to you. That which you truly Are is and will never be constant nor definable.

In resisting nothing you are not being passive – on the contrary!
In receiving Everything you Acknowledge that you are inseperable from Source and thus you have access to All Knowing.
You become Alive – truly Alive. When overcoming fear no longer is your quest you start to experience Everything offered to you in the realm of your Humaness. You be Life and Source provides for You ❤

What is true Healing? Is there “false” healing if there is True healing? No, just as there is not false love only sometimes
distorted love.
All that is ever created is from Source. Even that which we may judge. There has never been a mistake ever from Source, all that is created has been called for. Even that which we may judge. This can be somewhat hard to melt I know that.
The question is how can we contribute to healing – i e to ourselves and others finding Peace and Connection to Souce?

As you may have noticed there a numerous modalities out there claiming to be “healing”. The intention most often comes from the heart but sometimes the intention is shaded with the will of a specific outcome – a will that stands in the way of True Healing actually occuring. Intention is not something that is to be disregarded because all creation is co-dependent on intention. But is it True Healing?

What is the goal of Healing?
Most often people who are suffering are looking for a healer to sort things out for them. To help it vanish and to be a magician. Sometimes the suffering disappears for a short while, sometimes of course for a longer while, and at rare occations forever. What most people seem to not realise is that in order for something to truly shift and change there must be a co-creation occuring and  willingness to BE and KNOW the energy present. You cannot just avoid it and hope someone else takes care of it. Many believe that this is hard as what they are trying to get rid of causes them suffering and pain. But in the presence of Source it may just be like a small breeze on your cheek. A sigh. Or a breath.
Some people use different things to instead go into unconsciousness trying not to be aware. That only postpones the pain…
Or you can look for True Healing.
If you are one of those people who enjoy spending time with kids, animals or in nature you know this energy. For it is the energy of No Judgment. In the space of No Judgment you can,  should you wish to, use this opportunity wisely to experience existing without the judgment. After all if you do or do not judge yourself for what is present in the Now in your reality is up to you and it is your choice. Judging it will of course make your reality a bit less vibrant and joyful whilst not doing it will make it more joyous and more ease.
The space of No Judgement is the space of Unconditional Love, Source Love. For Source carries no judgement.
Source Knows you. Your True Self. It has no goal for you but that which what you are already creating. Experiencing fully that which you wish to. Unconsciously or consciously.  And in that space of Unconditional Love lies True Healing and when we Trust in that space we find the peace we are looking for that birth the energy that shifts our reality.

The goal of True Healing is for You to Know – truly and utterly without a shadow of a doubt that You are Unconditionally Loved. This kind of Healing is beyond the perceived occational suffering – it is withing You. Seeing and finding that Place that is already in you – Like a Sun in your heart. A sun that will shine so brightly. A space from which you can live and create. A space where judgment is so clear to you that you immediately recognize it and let it dissolve into Source.
I wish that for everybody because when you look at yourself from the eyes of Creation you see nothing but LOVE.

There is no greater gift than to Say I love you.

” I love you” is the way you use your human abilites to tell your body that all is included in Oneness.
It sends waves of relaxation and relief.

It has no “because” . It is an All Inclusive Statement.

It is the Truth beyond all truths . It is Source talking to Source cleaning the water mudded by Mind and distraction.

In fact it is the only message you ever need to communicate to yourself. In joy and in grief, in anxiety and in sadness. In turmoil and in complete serenity.

Because when you are joyful you acknowledge you have created for yourself joy.
And in great turmoil and distress you Know and become reminded of that beneath all that is occuring Your True Self Source Of Love is always on your side fully supportive, fully in allowance, offering you a restful space of No Judgment.

You are already complete. You have the Source – you ARE the Source. Be it.

Yes. Life.

So many of you struggle in the reality you are perceiving you are living in. There are two sides of the coin called living.
Survival and Thrival.

Survival mode is when you are treating all that arising as something you have to overcome or something that you compare with what has previously occured in order to have a reference point to what it means to you.

You compare danger with danger. Fear with fear. Lack with lack.  You create “fearful” conditions to which  you can then relate “It wasn´t as bad as …” when in fact these patterns of comparing is what creates the conditions in which you will find youself.

When you realise that the conditions in your Present Moment you are making significant to your perceived self you also find that you, and you alone, are responsible for your choices. The stress and discomfort you are making real can only be real in context of comparing with something else.

Now you can see that just like two parallell lines drawn on a paper you can jump on to the other line and be the observer, be the one knowing that Yes I can chose to be caught up, overwhelmed and fearful or Yes I can see that as I have survived until now I will survive this too and deal with one second at a time – being carried by Inner Knowing that everything passes and what I do and take with me from that is Mine.

Thrival mode exist within you when the feeling of calmness and relaxation and balance is present. You are fully perceiving and receiving. Underneath every though, feeling and emotion lies the treasure in your heart, the Knowing, that although there seems to be struggle you are alright. Events occuring may take some effort from you but it does not defeat you. You do not fight it because in your heart you know you are not alone. You are Loved and Cared for. You are creating your Now and your Life. You are not trying to overcome anything. Nor are you in the need to create something to overcome. In thrival mode your body heals. Your heart sends out calmness and vibrations of Love. ❤
