Existence of true love

Believe in true love. I know there's people out there who either do not believe in love or are losing hope in finding true love. It's ok to be heartbroken... we all learn lessons and gain experiences from them. Yes it hurts and it may be the end of the world at the time.. but it really isn't. Give yourself time to heal and find the love within yourself to help mend your wounds. I know that it may be difficult at first... I know that there may or will be moments of weakness where you want to turn to someone or something to fill that void... but honestly... that's a temporary fix. After that person or thing is gone.. what is the next step? Finding love within yourself is definitely key to finding love externally... or for love to find you. Law of attraction. I know that some may not agree or are skeptical on the topic... but it makes sense to me. Put the positive energies and love out into the universe... and the universe will return it. Just like everything in life...it may not be an instantaneous reflection... all good things come in time. Patience. Hope. Love. Truth. Find them within yourself.. and they will find you. There may be days or nights where it will become more difficult to hope and stay positive... but remember... that you deserve unconditional and eternal love. You deserve a genuine heart and soul that will aid you in your growth as a human being! Love yourself... and the universe will return it.



Be faithful to your beliefs and accept your flaws. No one is perfect... but that doesn't mean that we should abandon our growth to perfection. And by perfection.. I do not mean to cast people away because they are different or have different beliefs or lifestyles... I mean perfection as we are meant to be. Whole. One. Balanced. Loved. True. EVOLVED. True love exists if and when we choose to believe it exists. When we choose to accept and welcome it. Love is being thankful... love is being respectful... love is a reflection of the self. Find it... and appreciate it. It has always been there... and always will be.

I know that true love exists because I witness it's power each and every day. I find love within myself... within my family... within my friends... within the music I listen to... within the beauties of nature. All my love to you.

Internal conflicts

Currently... I'm experiencing an internal conflict. I believe that this is just my heart and my soul saying and expressing one thing... but my ego saying "no! it's always been this way.. keep it like this." It can get very difficult depending on the magnitude of the situation. Mine, however, is not too serious. Just a decision that I must make to improve and to manifest my desires. I know it will get easier as soon as I clear my mind more and really balance out my emotions. :) (I think I'm also getting used to some sacrifices and I am currently letting go of certain things and situations... so really.. I'm also getting used to these adjustments.)

The ego will always try to keep a strong hold on your true self... DONT LET IT!! When internal conflicts happen... that's really when we need to take a step back... take time for ourselves and think. Really do some soul searching... and really dig deep inside your heart to search for what you really desire. Most importantly... ask yourself... "Who are you doing this for? Are you truly making this decision for yourself? Will the outcome of this decision be positive FOR YOU in the long run??" This is your life... let yourself shine and move forward. Inspire and BE INSPIRED!

Evolution

Today most of the east coast of the US experienced an earthquake! (We typically don't experience a lot of quakes in this region.) It was an exciting and fascinating event... to witness the Earth shifting and adjusting as she pleases. What a beautiful experience!!! It's been a long time since I've experienced an earthquake.. it definitely sent a jolt of inspiration up my spine. It was as if the Earth was telling me.."WAKE UP!!! Change and evolve with me!" So... of course.. I stood there (in front of my computer at work)... thinking "Ok... I need to make some adjustments for myself... to improve myself and continue to move forward in my spiritual journey...and to move forward in my overall journey through life." I know that for most people it takes a little bit more or less than an earthquake to have a moment of realization... but for me... I felt compelled to listen to what mother nature had to say. "Make the changes and adjustments to improve your spirit and mind."

Everything is a process. It takes time to create and evolve. It's time to take a step forward and keep fear away from our minds and our hearts. We don't know what life will give us... but we can make a conscious effort to prepare mentally, physically and emotionally.... and to also enjoy the beauties of life.

Enjoy and appreciate

Sometimes I find myself looking up at creations like the one above. I just HAVE to admire and give thanks for something so beautiful. I sit and just smile ... allow my heart to be filled with love and joy. It's one of the ways I can really get my mind to stop being on that daily-grind mentality. Sometimes we just have to slow down a little bit... take a deep breath... and get our centers back. We all can definitely need a break from all the craziness... just to stop and think and remember that we have spiritual needs and wants. You would be very surprised how at ease you feel after taking a few moments to admire and enjoy nature and her creations. Just appreciating the life and beauty of your environment... really opens your mind to positive thoughts and opens your heart to so much joy and love.

Admire nature... it never hides it's true beauty. It's always there and it will always amaze. Sometimes it can be a little overwhelming.. definitely brings me to tears. I have to say... sunsets are definitely my favorite!! All your troubles and worries just melt away .. and are replaced with love, happiness, joy, and excitement!!!! AHH!! Let's go play outside!!!!! (excuse me... my inner child wants to play... but that topic will come in another blog)

Chakras

The root.
Understanding the root of your being is key. It's all about knowing yourself and where you come from.... your influences and what they've taught you... and what you have taught yourself. Be in touch with nature. Hear what the wind says ... smell what the flowers and trees smell... feel the vibrations all around you. The root... the root of it all. The root of your well being and the essence that keep you grounded.

The Creative.
The essence that moves you and your soul. The essence that creates happiness and love within your heart and assures your happiness and well being. Protect it... open it.... keep it from harms way. Fuel it with the positive energy it needs to function and feed your spirit.

The life force.
YOu. Your well being... oneness... and just YOU. This brings out your personality and your purpose in this world. Let it shine... like the sun. Let it blossom.. let it spread.

The love.
Embrace yourself and others. It's ok to make mistakes and believe lies and deceit... as long as you learn and grow. It's ok. Forgive yourself for making mistakes and believing lies. Everyone is in your life to teach a valuable lesson to help you grow. Love yourself and others... forgive yourself and others... share your joy and passions.

The voice.
Vocalize your positive thoughts and receive positive outcome. After all... "sharing is caring" right? :) hehe!! You might help another by your words of wisdom and experiences. Speak your truth in a respectful and considerate manner. Understand that you are a thinking and loving being...share it! :)

The intuition.
Trust your intuition. Having a "gut feeling" about something is usually your own self trying to make you aware of that particular situation. Let it guide you and help you on your path.

The higher mind.
Create positive thoughts and energy. Also... let it inside your mind. A positive mind is a healthy mind. Positive thoughts help you align all of the above.



I'll get into these more on a later blog... but I felt the urge to write some thoughts on these "energy hubs". Any questions? Please feel free to email :)

My personal experience in this journey

I just wanted to share something I experienced quite recently. As you may know, I'm continuing this spiritual journey and there are decisions that I must make and situations I must face along the way. This is definitely one of them. As I wrote about in my previous blog about staying true to yourself... this is a perfect example... so I HAD to write about it.

Recently, I confronted someone about how they made me feel. I noticed that I was beginning to internalize negative feelings and energy ... and thought to myself "hold on, Karma... this is exactly what you were talking about before. Stay true... open up your heart... and show respect..." That's when I asked her... "can I talk to you, please?" We walk into a quiet room.. close the door ... we both sit down... and I just said it.. "I don't think you appreciate me." And as soon as those words came out my mouth.. I thought to myself.. "WOW... I feel so much better." I must admit..I was a little shaken up because I didn't think I would be sitting in this room with this woman and confronting her about how she's been making me feel. I gave her a little bit of my reasoning for it... but my main concern was myself and not to argue or even hear some kind of explanation. (The only reason why I did not want to hear too much of her side is because I already know how she truly felt about me... basically... I did not want to hear lies.) I don't think it's right for me to keep these feelings inside and unheard because of what it will do to my well being and my spirit. I felt these negative emotions creep deeper and deeper inside my heart ... and my heart started to race... I couldn't function properly in my daily routines.... yes... I had to say it... I had to say it fast.. I had to get rid of the negative energy. Of course, I said it in a respectful way... I did NOT want to hurt her feelings as well... I did this for myself and to make her aware of it. It was really more of a confession from my heart space.

Basically... I encourage you to speak your mind and your heart. Show your heart and spirit that you truly care and love yourself. If someone is saying or doing something negative and you feel it ... do NOT internalize it. Understand that you are confronting these issues or events to better yourself and always keep your well being in mind. After all... who will keep your heart and soul in mind? You will and you do... you are responsible for your thoughts and feelings... your spirit and your heart. Keep it alive.. keep it positive. Show yourself love, support, respect and care.



This was definitely a step forward in my path. Thanks for reading :)

Loyalty and respect

I believe relationships are a reflecting image of the self.  I mean...in ALL relationships; friends, family, coworkers, lovers...all of it.  Loyalty and respect begin with yourself.  Showing yourself loyalty and respect will help you have a better understanding of your emotions and your true self.
Loyalty to yourself is achieved by knowing your beliefs and allowing them to show.  Allow your truth to shine.  Of course this must be done in a compassionate and respectable way..otherwise... how will it be taken seriously, right?  Expressing yourself and your passions does not mean to force your beliefs and being on others...but more on sharing and spreading the love and passions that move your soul.  Loyalty is also knowing when situations or people are harming you..and knowing when enough is enough. You do not have to absorb negativity.  You deserve a happy life filled with joy and love.  Its true that negative actions and people exist in this world.  They really are in our lives for a reason... we learn ..we grow... we gain strength.  But this does not mean to internalize their negative thoughts and actions.  Know what the lesson is..know the changes you want to make to improve your being... know when to walk away.  Show yourself the love, loyalty and respect you deserve ..and it will be reflected.

Like I said... you deserve happiness and love.  Listen to your heart.  It will navigate you through all the hardships and hate.  Let it guide you through darkness and back into light.

Follow your heart

Follow your heart and you will find your own path. Meet people along the way that will help you grow mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Some may even help by guiding you.
Dance if you want.. sing if you want on your journey. You may hit a fork on the road and you may ask "where do i go?" or "who knows the way to go?" As you sit in peace and silence.. reach inside or just accept happiness and joy... you'll find the path again. Fill your mind with positive thoughts, hopes and dreams... fill your heart with love and joy... Fill your life with all of the above and find your spiritual freedom. Your heart will not disappoint or let you down. Even though, we may have allowed people or things in our lives that hurt us... they existed because we must learn and experience. Trust in your heart... be good to it... you deserve love and happiness. I guess this is going to tie into forgiveness and loyalty... but that will have to come in a later entry.


Some may be asking "what the hell is this girl talking about?" (LOL) I guess I'm just hoping that everyone can enjoy their journey through life and learn from their experiences and people they meet. Share and spread the love and joy they feel each and every single day. And I hope our creative nature will help us through our hardships.

Let your emotions show

Sometimes you may want to cry and feel like it's embarrassing or stupid to do so... but no. It's your soul saying.. "let it out." If you're sad about something.. let yourself be sad and cry. Keeping these emotions trapped inside can turn into anger, frustration, confusion and build regrets. Allow yourself to be sad, happy or angry. You have every right to feel these emotions. As long as you're emitting these emotions in a productive and respectable way... do it! For example, sometimes when I get too emotional and crying doesn't happen... I go to the dance studio and let my emotions show through my dance. Some may write poetry, some may sing, some may paint, some may play an instrument.. it's all about turning the negative into positive. Channeling your energy to maintain positive thoughts.

(When I say to just be sad or be angry... I'm not encouraging to dwell and letting fear and aggression consume you. I mean it in terms of just opening your heart and allowing yourself to express these emotions in a respectable manner.)

You deserve to be happy and joyful. With your happy and joyful self.. you are capable of touching others' hearts and lifting their vibrations and spirits. Spread the love, spread the joy... we ALL deserve happiness in our lives.

Cutting ties to make room for a happier YOU

Cutting ties from any kind of negative relationship or feeling/energy is very liberating. Not only does it feel like a huge weight has been lifted off your shoulders.. but it feels like you can finally breathe! You can finally inhale the fresh air and move forward in your life.

An advice I give myself a daily basis (I try to make a conscious effort to do this... it's difficult at times):

If you have anything to say... say it. Holding any negative energy or thoughts inside your heart will manifest into resentment and make room for mistakes and pain.

Once you speak the truth about how you truly feel and why you're feeling this way... you can breathe. You can finally stop holding your breath on certain topics or instances. And of course speak your truth in an appropriate and respectable way. Feelings can often get hurt when being confronted but I believe that if it's done in a manner that show respect ... you will receive it in return. In order for others to take your feelings and thoughts seriously... you must show them your respect as well.

Speaking your truth doesn't always mean to speak on the negative. If you have something to say that's positive... say it! It also makes you feel good and often makes someone else feel good. Why NOT put a smile on someone's face??? SAY IT... DO IT!

Loving yourself through forgiveness

One of the best ways to show yourself love and appreciation is to forgive. Forgive yourself for allowing someone to hurt you, forgive for believing lies, forgive for your weaknesses. We experience these hardships to learn and grow... not to keep ourselves from loving who we are. That's the beauty part of being human and having our emotions... we can learn and forgive. Forgiving ourselves allows our heart to heal and send out positive vibes into the world... and into our lives. We are amazing beings capable of loving ourselves and others.. so let's do it. We're not perfect .. and outside influences try to keep us from finding wholeness and serenity within ourselves... don't let it. Forgive... gain strength... and above all.. love.

Onward!

This week has been very eventful... and it's only Wednesday! :) There's definitely more to come! I just feel more excited and happy .. for no particular reason. So many things are happening and all these happenings are positive! So excited!! I've been dancing more and more to make sure that I express the excitement and freedom I've been feeling. I guess maybe that's a sign that I'm heading the right way. Making sure that your heart and your mind are open and full of love and positiveness.

Maybe it really has to do with making a more conscious effort on keeping myself and my surroundings happy and positive. And maybe also letting myself be happy and excited. All i know is... I can't wait until the fall. I definitely need to hike up a mountain... and just breathe. I guess it's really my heart letting go of all things that are negative. I found the holding negative thoughts, feelings and energy .. really starts to break down your soul and your genuine and loving nature. It's time to forgive and let go. Forgive those that's hurt you... forgive yourself for letting them... forgive yourself for doubting and for holding it in. It's ok. And just tell yourself... I love you. Share it!

LETS ALL GO ON A HIKE!

The path

Ever since I opened "Finding of the Third Eye," I've been trying my best to trust myself (not just my intuition... but my whole being) in every situation. I definitely want to become a more spiritual person. I feel that in understanding yourself .. you can tune into everything. I know it may not make much sense... probably because I'm trying to write on a more broad scale. As time goes on.. I'm sure it will make more sense. Patience.

I know I am seeking for more guidance. In seeking... I mean... listening.. watching... feeling. I'm not worried at all about walking this path. I know that in this spiritual path... tools and people will come to guide me. After all these years I've learned that experiences teach you lessons but there are people and tools that will guide you. Life will always take its course.. and in that course you will change. I want to make every effort that I can to ensure that my changes will be positive.. not only for myself but for everyone. It's funny how things, experiences and people can change you... without you even knowing. This is why I feel like becoming more spiritual is vital. I know myself therefore I AM myself. People will often make attempts to lure you into "group think"... but why?? Positive minds... will always find themselves. Positive thoughts protect us and keep us happy.


I guess all I'm really trying to say is that... I'm walking in the path to spirituality. I may not know what is ahead of me but ...my mind, my body and my soul gravitate towards it. (Whatever IT may be.) Seems like I just need to clear my mind and open my heart.
