Technology makes it impossible to live as if we are separate. In fact technology is only reflecting the unity that already exists and making it impossible for us to deny it. This global awareness and blending of cultures and ideals is a sign that human consciousness is evolving to a place of love, acceptance, and unification. Of course there are going to be some bumps in the road as this shift takes place. That's to be expected. Marrying a man with 2 children and a former spouse, I know firsthand some of the complications that arise in a blended family. Well guess what? Humanity is one big blended family. Each unique component has something valuable to offer. We can no longer live as if our way is the only way and why would we want to when there's so much to be gained from opening our hearts and minds to the value of other ways of being and seeing. Opening our minds and eyes is no longer optional. Its a necessity, and will usher in a new way of living marked by harmony and equality.

The best of the east and the west are needed to support the evolution of human consciousness.

Today's message is inspired by an experience I had yesterday. My husband and I had just left an enlivening conversation about making a difference in the world. Part of the discussion centered on the homeless in America. This is a topic we revisit often because we have differing ideas. Jason has tremendous compassion, whereas I have a residue of cynicism left from my days in New York city. Yesterday's conversation stirred something in me. When we left and approached the stoplight at the off ramp, there sat a man with a sign "HELP." I headed my habitual reaction off at the pass, and instead just allowed myself to really see him. My husband gave him $10 and long after the window was closed I let my eyes linger on him - thick silver hair, one eye that needed healing, and a soft face. My heart just opened and tears streamed down my cheeks all the way to our destination. I realized that my closed heart toward the homeless has been a protection from feeling, feeling helpless, hopeless, and sad. I know this kind of sympathy that gets trapped in sadness isn't powerful to make a difference, but neither is a closed heart with no compassion. Somewhere between the two lies a middle ground of positive change and the open heart opens the door to inspired action. This is true for all situations where the initial reaction is to hold the heart hostage in an armored cell of judgment.

Every tendency to react with harsh judgment can be used to open the heart to intense love.

Today's message reminds me of one of my favorite Joseph Campbell quotes, "Sometimes you have to give up the life you've planned to find the life that's waiting for you." My ideas about what I'm here to do have shifted so much over the years. I see now that many of those earlier ideas originated in the ego and were the result of cultural conditioning, fear, and ignorance. The willingness to let go of my preconceived notions of what my life is supposed to look like and the consistent practice of connecting more with the voice within, gradually brought clarity and a sense that what I'm here to do as an individual is intricately linked to the whole of humanity. Since that seed of awareness began to arise, my life has taken on greater meaning and there's a deep satisfaction that was missing before. What I'm discovering over and over again is that the greatest satisfaction lies in service.

Individual purpose is linked to Universal intention.

The practice of asana, one of yoga's 8 aspects, is a way of slowing things down and becoming mindful so we actually see and feel where a pattern isn't serving us. This is one step towards the ultimate of yoga, samadhi ~ a perfect mind, not a perfect yoga pose. Because the body and mind are one (bodymind), we see thought visibly in the body. This is especially helpful with unconscious patterns (samskaras). Practicing with a mindful teacher who can shed light and gently, patiently guide you beyond habitual patterns is invaluable. This is an ever-expanding practice awakening us to our unlimited, divine nature.

A limiting pattern has to be seen before it can be transcended. Awareness is everything.

Grateful for the clear message I heard when I looked at this picture taken a few years ago by my soul sister at my favorite beach in the area, El Matador. The "center" is a goldmine of clarity, possibility, love, and guidance. I'm learning to look there first rather than as a last resort. And instead of making it an occasional destination when turmoil arises, I'm discovering the value of daily, hourly, check-ins so the connection stays firmly established. It takes courage but it's really unavoidable and is a powerful contribution to the whole world. We need more people courageously living out from their center.

Find your center and return to it often. It's your rock in good times and bad.

I don't know about you, but this is my lesson time and time again. The trigger is the decoy. It's what it triggered that needs to be dealt with. But in an attempt to cling a little longer, the egoic mind will always make us think otherwise in order to avoid the inevitable. Stay alert. Don't be fooled.

When I notice what I perceive causes my reactions rather than the reactions themselves, I miss the golden opportunity for self-knowledge, purification, and transformation.

In a world where big governments, big armies, and big corporations seem to have so much power, it's more important than ever to remember our relevance as individuals. We can't submit to the idea that we don't matter or don't have the power or resources to effect positive change in the world. We have so many examples that tell us otherwise ~ Jesus, Buddha, Martin Luther King, Gandhi, Mother Teresa ~ to name only a few. The truth is that every thought and action counts and has a ripple effect for transformation. Be hopeful, strong, and courageous as you move through your day, remembering every choice you make matters. YOU matter.

Ripples of individual action lead to giant waves of collective change.

We live in a culture that worships externals. Anyone who has enough money can essentially change or replace any body part they want to. In this climate, it's important to connect with and cherish the deeper aspects of our being so we don't get trapped in the belief system that says our worth equals our appearance. There are plenty of pretty people around who aren't necessarily happy or living out their purpose in the world. Some of the most beautiful individuals I know don't fit the cultural model of looking good. Beauty is a verb so no plastic surgeon on the planet can give anyone beauty. Everyone has beauty! Those we think of as beautiful are the ones who express it.

Pretty is about externals.
Beauty comes from within.
Don't sacrifice your beauty
just to look pretty.

*************************
When something really amazing happens that we didn't know was possible, especially when it lands outside the realm of presently accepted physical law, we call it a miracle. But if it happened then it was possible all along. It was just a matter of being open to witness it. That's why miracles aren't random supernatural events. With a desire and willingness to see beyond what I presently believe possible, I can usher in the miraculous. Every individual can. This phenomenon is akin to what's known as the "observer effect" in quantum physics, where the physical properties of something change depending on the mind that's witnessing it. Entertaining this possibility is so important especially with longstanding situations or patterns where things seem hopeless. Look beyond the present borders of your mind and discover a miracle today.

Open to the miraculous!

Sultan the cat peering in definitely disagrees with today's #dailylightwave, and that's ok for a feline. Humanity however has a  different standard. We live in a culture that deifies celebrity to the point that people will go as far as doing things that bring harm to themselves and others just to get noticed. But being noticed, being admired isn't the point. Being of service and making a difference is. Don't bow down to society's golden calf called celebrity. Remember the little things you do, often unnoticed, have the value of real substance. And because they're authentic they satisfy the soul.

Serving others is more important than being admired by them.

When I call someone I adjust the volume of my voice in a way that they will be able to hear me. If indoors, I might speak quietly. If there's loud music or if outdoors with a lot of external sounds, I might speak much louder. It occurred to me yesterday that this is the case with a calling, which I believe everyone has. Regardless of how confused, doubtful, resistant I might be, that calling will always make itself louder than the mental static of the moment. So take heart. Your calling (based in Love and how you can best serve the world) wants to be heard. Isn't that comforting?

(My husband took this picture of me earlier this summer at Silver Strand beach in Oxnard.)

Today's #dailylightwave requires cultivating habits that transcend survival mind. The reptilian brain's main concern is survival so it automatically spotlights everything it perceives as a threat and deletes all the wonders that might distract us from merely preserving our existence. Through spiritual study, meditation,  etc. we can elevate our consciousness beyond this base way of seeing things. One simple practice is to magnify even the tiniest bit of good that crosses our path. Maybe it's someone opening a door for us, finding a quarter on the street, an accident or bad decision averted, or maybe just that we're breathing! There so much amazing goodness right in front of us when we start to look for it.

Use your mental energy to MAGNIFY the GOOD.

Not grasping at straws, but moving mindfully from an inner impetus is an efficient and impactful way to live. Guided action requires time for stillness, tuning in, listening, and then having the courage to follow what you hear. We all have mental naysayers that try to talk us out of doing something even if it's right. People who have learned to hush those voices and do it anyway are the ones who fulfill their life's purpose. The calling of your dharma is louder than those naysayers. It's just a matter of attuning your thought to that frequency. Try it! Take just one guided action today and see what happens. The world needs you to do this.

There are a few people who I feel really see me and by means of doing that remind me of who and what I am. Every time I have an encounter with one of these sweet souls I leave more committed to living out from that place. Most people will have too much mental fog in the form of labels, conditioning,  judgments, gossip, etc. to see you and that's ok. Surround yourself as often as possible with those who do. And most importantly give others the gift of being seen.

Today look beyond cars, clothes, and skin to see the essence of everyone you meet.

I know it sounds trite, but it's so easy to forget. My life has been a zig zag course of trying to fit myself into externals. But I'm finally learning it's really not about any external role as much as it's about essence. It's how I do things more than what I do that shows who I am. Getting in tune with that and then finding pathways of expression that are aligned is key. And literally no one else can be you so the world needs you to be who you are. End of story. Be courageously YOU. And allow others to do the same.

The sole reason you exist is to be you.

Join me in visualizing today's Daily Lightwave actually happening in your psyche. Close your eyes with this intention and begin to notice what stands out apart from love. Then see these things, in your mind's eye, being collected into that snowball of Love and transformed. It feels good and gives a powerful boost towards freedom, which begins always on the inside. In the words of Lenny Kravitz, "Let love rule."

Love, like a snowball, gathers momentum in the mind, drawing everything to itself, and transforming it into LOVE.

Expectancy is one of those programs constantly running in the human psyche, so ingrained that we don't even notice that it's creating experiences and circumstances all the time. Depending on conditioning, an individual's expectancy may be more inclined towards the positive or negative. Learning to tune in and become aware of your particular slant is key in molding expectancy to the side of good, ensuring you're creating what's aligned rather than what isn't. Finding ways to quiet mind chatter is key to this endeavor.

Expectancy is an invisible creative power whether turned towards the negative or positive. Learn to master your expectations for they become self-fulfilling prophecies.
