Today's #dailylightwave is a little gem that came through me on yesterday's yoga hike. The background is a distant shot of where we practiced.
Your vision sees what's not yet visible to the eyes. Learn to trust your vision and rely on it. Eyesight should serve vision not limit it.

Changing your thoughts is one thing. Shifting the vibration of your mind is another; and it is this latter shift that will change your life.

Today's #dailylightwave is something I've been honing in on lately. It requires moments of stillness to really feel into the tone of my mind, as well as the ongoing practice of tuning in throughout the day to feel - not what I'm thinking about - but the tone of my thoughts. This is a deeper level of spiritual practice. It goes beyond positive thinking, which really stays on the surface and is more about changing thoughts rather than shifting the actual vibrational tone of our minds. Positive thinking stays within the limited scope of the human mind, which is the problem maker, not the problem solver. And, to paraphrase Albert Einstein, we can't solve a problem using the same mind that created it. The tricky part of this is that our vibration (or song) is so close to home and it's been playing for so long that it's like white noise in the background, it's unconscious. It's almost like trying to see the nose on our own face. Without something to reflect it back to us, it's impossible. In spiritual practice what serves as the mirror, is tuning into a larger perspective. Some might call this pure consciousness, divine consciousness, divine Mind, God, Spirit, Love itself. The ways we can do this are pretty limitless - mantra, meditation, prayer, time in nature, spiritual study, breathing, singing, chanting - all these when done intentionally are gateways to a greater, deeper awareness of the ocean of consciousness that lies outside our habitual mental lagoon. A simple way to begin this is to notice what you're thinking about and then feel into the fabric or field out of which the thought is arising. For example, I might notice I'm going over a to-do list in my head. But if I feel into the thoughts, I might further notice they're arising out of a sense of anxiety or agitation or a fear that I won't be able to get it all done (sneak peak into the mental realm of Alison Wilburn)! We all have our own brand of mental static that arises from the conditioned personality - I'm not good enough, I'm not loved, I can't do it, I'm so great, I'm better than everyone, I need to be better than everyone, I have to win, I'm a loser, etc, etc. The teachings of Abraham-Hicks are so helpful around this topic. They really hone in on the details of this process and in many ways hit the nail on the head. If you haven't explored their teachings, they might be good ones to add to your spiritual awakening kit. What I'm finding as I do this, is how cool it is to really sense the tone and to shift it. I use breathing a lot to do this - slowing down the inhale and exhale. It's simple and something I can do any time anywhere. It's amazing how things on the outside shift immediately with the vibrational shift of my mind!! This really works. It's powerful. Bodily functions, relationships, and circumstances align. This explains why desires manifest in the visible world with these tonal shifts, whereas wants dwell in the thought realm and keep us wanting. The discipline to do this consistently is well worth it. It will change your life.

Today's #dailylightwave is a practice for sure. It can be so easy to become convinced, even intimidated, by physical sense evidence that says we have no reason for gratitude. A consciousness devoid of gratitude is vibrating at a very low frequency and will attract at that level, creating more evidence that confirms what we're believing. It's truly a vicious cycle ~ we let outward appearances dictate our attitude and we create more of the same appearances ~ even if it's what we don't want. Being willing to roll up our mental sleeves and practice gratitude even when we're convinced there's no reason to and absolutely nothing to be grateful for, creates the reverse snowball effect. There is always something that can evoke gratitude. It may start out small ~ I'm breathing, I can see colors, noticing all the parts of your body where there is no pain, I know my grandmother loves me, etc. ~ whatever it is for you. Each recognition is like a snowflake. The snowflakes begin to accumulate into a snowball, the snowballs form an avalanche ~ yes an avalanche of gratitude that washes away non-gratitude, raises our mental vibration in such a way that the outer has to conform via relationships and circumstances. Once that happens it's easy to fall back into gratitude-as-response mode, but if we're alert, we won't let the outer ~ even when it appears good ~ become a resting couch for our gratitude. Wisdom teaches that external phenomena are the result not really the cause for gratitude. As with most spiritual practices, it's a bit ironic and even inverted to the survival mind. But try it. Dwelling in the frequency of gratitude that's not based on externals is actually the most serene, centered, steady, and powerful place to be. It's really the feeling of gratitude we crave more than any external thing anyway.
The attractive force of gratitude will always bring you more to be grateful for. Align your mind with the vibration of gratitude, actively practice it, especially when it appears there's nothing to be grateful for.

Breathing in today's #dailylightwave, especially where it would appear otherwise. Key word "appear." Remembering appearances are always deceiving. Trusting the intelligent unfolding beyond intellectual logic. There's a big difference. Trust.
Realizing that the universe is ever-expanding, Einstein came to call his notion of a static universe his "greatest blunder." Perhaps the notion that our life is static or stuck in any way is our greatest blunder. After all we're part of the same infinitely expanding universe (one song), so how could we be anything less?

Today's #dailylightwave speaks of the commerce of consciousness. Looking closely, without the lens of dogma, that's what all scripture is related to as well ~ the inflow and outflow of thoughts and how that affects everything. The human mind is a mechanism heavily influenced by suggestion. Suggestions taken in unconsciously become ingrained before we know it and we live as if what we've unwittingly accepted is the truth. Discernment is crucial for someone committed to awakening and living a conscious life. It makes sense that scripture would be instructing us in how to protect our minds from falsehood. Noticing the parallels is so inspiring to me because it indicates that there's a universal truth being articulated. Here are just a few related examples . . .
"Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding." (book of Proverbs, the bible)
"The Perfection of Wisdom is the greatest mantra.
It is the clearest mantra,
the highest mantra,
the mantra that removes all suffering." (The Heart Sutra, Mahayana Buddhism)
"Nothing in the world can purify as powerfully as wisdom." (Bhagavad Gita)
Let's be wise mental bankers who preserve our treasures, spend the currency of love freely, and stay alert not to accept the counterfeits of conditioning, convention, false education, and the like.
What I buy with my mind is as, if not more, important than what I buy with my money. Let's be wise mental bankers who preserve our treasures, spend the currency of love freely, and stay alert not to accept counterfeits.
