The Oneness of it All (+playlist)

Karma is MOVING!!

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to let you all know that I will be moving my blog over to tumblr.  Yes... someone has finally convinced me to move most (if not all) my posts to tumblr.  Here is the link:
http://karmaevolution.tumblr.com/

I hope this experiment goes well.  :)  ::Crosses fingers::  I've been getting some emails and verbal notifications that the comment field is not working properly... and I've honestly run out of ideas on how to get this resolved.  So we shall see what happens on tumblr.   :)

Also, please check out my new vlog:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtNZRyAcaRs

And of course.. please feel free to share your thoughts and experiences.

Love & light to you always,

Karma

Love Always

I'm in love with you.  I'm in love with who you are....in love with who you will become because you trust your love.  I love you because you were created from love.

You shine and follow your light.  You follow and accept universal laws and you stay true to you.  You follow you heart and listen to your spirit.

I love you because you know and honor your relationship with Source and the Universe.  I love you because you know and honor your relationship with Earth.. and your brothers and sisters.  I love you because you honor your relationship with Self.

You share your light to provide guidance and support for those who seek the truth.  You shine your light bright to find and honor your truth.  You graciously accept the truth.

I love you because you understand and share your compassion.  I love you because you are my brother, my sister, my father, my mother, my best friend... I love you because you are me.  I love you because you are love.

We are one love.

                 * * * Straight from my heart-space.
                               Love & Light Always,
                                                        Karma

Experience your present being

The past.  It's important for us to let go of the past and allow ourselves to experience the present.  Although past experiences can help us in making decisions for the present, it is unhealthy to dwell in past decisions, situations or circumstances.  Don't miss opportunities and don't miss your life  because of your yesterdays.  Forgive yourself and others for any shortcomings.  Allow yourself, as well as others, to experience their present being.  Accept your past... give it your blessings... keep the lesson(s) necessary for your growth and move forward.  Know that today is a new day to recreate yourself and reclaim your truth.  Today is the day to continue your beautiful journey in life.  Enjoy it and embrace your present being!

We are here to help each other become the brightest light we can be... and to also share our light with one another for guidance and support.  Let go of the past and allow the emotional wounds to heal.  The past was once you... but today you can create a new you.  The you that you want to be.  Trust in yourself and give yourself a chance to grow and evolve.

*Love & light 

Alignment

Find the courage to follow your heart.  Your heart will lead you to your truth and allow you to listen to the whispers of your soul.  Remember that the universe is on your side and it will provide you with the tools and guidance you need... just trust.  Trust in your abilities... trust in your talents... trust in your gifts... trust in your passions.  Your self is trying to break free and experience your truth... why stop self?  

Align.  Align your mind, your heart and your soul.  Is everything you do and say in alignment with your truth?  If not... take the necessary steps to get back into alignment with who you are and who you want to become.  This is the challenge of growth...to always re-member your heart, your soul and your mind.

The ego will always try to alienate our truth with doubts and fears.  Align.  Stay true to your truth. 

*Namaste

Invest in you

Even when others don't show you the love and support you want and need to keep moving forward with your dreams... know that this is your moment to show love and support for yourself.  Your talents, your gifts, your dreams and your passions... these are the tools your soul uses to express SELF.

Show yourself how much it means to you by investing your time, efforts and self in the things you love to do.  Show and share with the world how much you love your gifts and talents.  It's with what you share with the world that brings great impact and change.

It is never too late to invest in your talents, dreams and gifts as long as you're alive and well.  Others may try to bring your hopes and dreams down... but remember..that this is your gift, your talent and your dream.. and it is up to you how and when you share it with the rest of the world.  Have the strength to overcome your fears and doubts.  Let your unconditional love show by sharing your gifts and talents with the world.  Be strong.  Be true.  Be you.


Sing. Dance. Compose. Paint. Write.  Play.  Sculpt.  Create.  Dream.


Love & light to all of you <3

Let go for freedom

When we say that we must let go... truly let go.  Let go of your short-comings... let go of your mistakes... and of course... forgive and ask for forgiveness.  By truly letting go you allow yourself to become the person you want and dream to be...you allow growth.  Evolution.

Moving on and moving forward does not have to be a difficult task... if and only if we choose to make an effort to fight our fears with positive thoughts and of course ... thoughts of love.  Take that first step forward by allowing your worries from and of the past to just melt away.  Start new today and do the things that you love and enjoy.  Even the thought of doing the things you love can warm your heart and put a smile on your face.  Feel the warmth and embrace the freedom that you have just gained... the freedom that you have earned.  Freedom from your past and freedom from your fears...freedom to love who you are and who you will become.

One step at a time my friends... we are great beings...we are free... we are love... be free... be you.


*Namaste  

You are an amazing being

You deserve the best.  Who better to treat you like the king or queen that you are ... than you?  Who knows you better.. than you?  Consciously knowing that you are ultimately the only one responsible for your happiness and your energy... enables you to learn HOW to achieve your truth and your enlightenment.  Putting pressure and responsibility on another being to satisfy the needs of YOUR self may and will build resentment.  It brings and keeps your vibrations low and opens your being to negativity and doubts.  Remember... that EVERYONE is free to say and do as they please.  HOWEVER.... you know what moves your soul... and you know how to lift your spirit.  So do it for your SELF!  :)  Rely on your SELF... rely on your inner god or goddess to show you who you are... to keep you happy... and to be the greatest being you can and are meant to be.  You are a magnificent being who has the power to keep your vibrations high and positive.  You have the power to be the example of love and light.  

We are here to build and create our paths.  To fill our paths with happiness, love and appreciation... it begins with the image we have of and about ourselves... and the ideas we have about and FOR ourselves.  <3



*Love & Light to you always*

We have the choice

Even when you seek advice and/or guidance from another being... ultimately... the decision is yours and ONLY yours to make.  You will always have the love and support from those who care for you... but you are the one that creates and walks your path.  When facing that "fork in the road" situation... ask yourself  "how will this encourage my growth?"  Take a deep breath... exhale... remember who you are and who you want to become.... then... speak from the heart.  Follow your excitement...and follow the things that move your soul.  Choose to enjoy life and choose to see the opportunities in every situation.

We are given the gift to make choices in order to experience and create what we want in life.  To always choose love over fear ... to live and love.  Fear can and may disguise itself as your own logic... hidden in a cloak made of your own judgments from the past... but you can always choose to keep your mind positive and see the opportunities to grow (spiritually, emotionally, and mentally).  Direct your heart towards that loving choice to enable you to experience your complete being... your complete truth.



*Namaste

Honor yourself

To honor yourself... is quite often a difficult task.  Sometimes we may not be aware of actions that may dishonor ourselves and our truth.  You may be asking "What does it really mean to honor yourself?"

To honor yourself is to know and understand yourSELF and your truth.  It begins with how you perceive yourself - your image... your actions... your reactions... your tears... your fear... your heart... your soul... your expression ... your creations.  Focus on what you want to share with the world (your love... your smile... your laugh... your art... your healing touch) instead of focusing on what you can get from the world.  Share your love... share your light.

Also... do something that makes you happy.  Try to think back into your childhood... and do what you would have done back then that brought you joy and happiness... like jumping into a pile of leaves, or rolling down a hill, or exploring in the woods in your backyard, or even doing cartwheels!  Whatever it is... do it!!!  It's feels good to take yourself out of your daily grind and your worries.  It will bring your vibration higher and you will ultimately feel free.  Taking a step back... having a little bit of fun brings out the happiness and the light from within.  HAPPY EXPLORING EVERYONE!!  


ENJOY THE LIFE THAT YOU HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH!





Here's a video of me exploring.. just testing out a new approach to sharing my adventures with you.

This is my first vlog.  It ends up lagging towards the end since it's on my phone... so I'll have to remember to carry my camera or get a new one for the next vlogs.




Love always <3

Using curse words

Using your words in a loving and compassionate way... does NOT... I repeat... DOES NOT... mean that you must relinquish the pleasures of cursing!  (yes... I said it... the pleasures... HAHA!)  :)  Seriously!  I know it may sound strange... (while I giggle uncontrollably as I'm typing all this) but you do not have to use curse words in a negative way.  Yes... they MAY have negative connotations to them... but... you can use these words responsibly.  We all know that we shouldn't curse while in the presence of young children (especially toddlers .. since we don't want their first word to be "SHIT!" or "DAMN IT!"  HAHA!) but I trust that we can use our best judgments on when it is appropriate to use these terms.  We can use these words to express positive feelings and/or beliefs in or on certain situations.  These terms can be used to express relief... excitement... joy... happiness... we just have to choose it.

To be honest... I LOVE to say the word "SHIT".  I love it... it's so much fun!  I mainly use "SHIT" to substitute phrases or words like  "other stuff," "whatever" or "something".  I also use "SHIT" to emphasize my EXCITEMENT.  For instance... "The view of the waterfall was amazing... SHIT!"  (HAHA) It just flows better for me.  Of course... I use this term CONSCIOUSLY.. meaning that I'm aware that I'm NOT using this term to destroy an image of someone, something or idea.  I use it in a way that flows with my energy.  Sometimes I'll feel very relaxed ...vibin' to some feel good music.. and I'll just say "I love this shit."  Curse words do not HAVE to be evil... IF and only IF we use them with discretion and responsibility... and of course... when appropriate.

We are free to speak our truth in any way we wish.  If we find that there are words that flow with our truth ... then use them... curse word or not.  It's a BLESSING to speak your truth and express.  But remember that we speak our truth in a respectful and responsible way to ENCOURAGE and ENLIGHTEN each other.   We use words to express ideas and thoughts to help each other build and grow.  I say EXPRESS!!!!

Love & Light <3

Cherish and express your love

Cherish every moment and every word with the ones that you love and adore.  Speak your words with your loving truth and say what you need and want to say.  We often take for granted the times and opportunities that are presented to us... and we constantly put off what we want to say and/or do until the next moment ... or day... or week... or month.  The next moments... days... weeks.. months... are not guaranteed.  Decisions made by you and/or others may and will create a new path.  This path may alter your thoughts... feelings & emotions... even your destination (both physically and metaphorically). Enjoy the times you have with your loved ones.  Create more adventures to add to your journey and cherish these moments.

Recognize and realize what is real... recognize and realize what and who is love.  Be grateful and appreciate these moments we have with those whom we love and adore.  From every breath to every smile... cherish them.  GIVE THANKS.  ALWAYS remember that they are your treasures and gifts.  Express your love and gratitude for having them in your life.  Letting someone know that they are loved and adored ... will change their world... and warm their hearts.   *HUG*

Meditation, Evolution & Transformation

Looking back ... not even THAT far back... I see how and who I used to be.  So angry, worried and weary... I was constantly looking for some kind of outlet.  My form of creation is dancing and singing. These activities made (and still make) me feel so free and happy ... and I'm always in alignment... filled with so much joy.  Although alignment was always guaranteed with these activities (for me)... there came a point where I realized that it was a "temporary fix".  Due to working and attending classes... I cannot be in a dance studio as much as I would prefer.  Stress and pressure coming from so many angles; work, school, romantic relationship, family and friends... it felt like I was drifting further and further away from wanting to be connected with everyone... even the ones whom I love and cherish.

I knew something had to give... I knew that it was time for me to truly listen to myself.. my heart and my soul.  It was time to find peace and alignment.  I started meditating.  My original plan was to just sit in COMPLETE silence to turn off my mind... but I soon discovered that this was an extremely difficult task without music.  I searched youtube for some meditation music and stumbled upon a video which guides you through the chakras (link to the video).  Having read a little bit on chakras.. I gave it a try... WOW!  So thankful that I "stumbled" upon that video!  I started meditating in the morning and at night before bed.  After a few months, I no longer needed the video as a guide... I could meditate on my own (with music of course.. just because I love it so much!).

I'm so thankful to have made these changes and additions in my life.  So thankful for the guides and tools that has been given to me.  I used to be afraid of change... but now I understand the importance of change for our evolution.  We evolve mentally, spiritually and emotionally.  And in order to evolve we must take the steps and make the efforts TO change... and of course... embrace change.  Give yourself, as well as others, the chance to change and evolve.

I encourage everyone to make and take the time to meditate.  It's an amazing way to find our peace, our center, our alignment and of course... OURSELVES.


*Namaste

The meaning of following your heart

"Follow your heart" is something I've heard all my life.  Of course, I believe it's true but honestly.. I never really fully understood what that meant until recently.  To "follow your heart" is to allow your heart to seek and manifest/create what it wants.  To let the heart shine and share it's loving light with others.  It's natural to protect our hearts from harm... and truthfully... if this is truly what the heart wants... it will be a challenging task/path... but in the end ... your heart and YOU will be OK.  Happiness, joyfulness and love will always find you and be with you.
Denying your heart from what it really wants will open the door for fear to enter and it will ultimately lead to a longer healing process (should it not turn out the way you had hoped).  I understand that allowing yourself to love and give love can be a little frightening because no one wants to have their hearts broken or run the risk of having it broken.  But how would we ever know if we've never given the unknown a chance for a positive outcome?  Do we prefer to have the thoughts of "what if's" and regrets?  When will we allow ourselves to love and to choose love over fear?  When will we allow our love to shine?

Allow your heart to shine... allow your love to flow... allow the warmth of your heart to fill someone else's.  Your love is as radiant as the sun... but you must allow your heart to shine bright!


*Love always

The unknown

The unknown as in everything that is outside of our comfort-zone... everything that we have yet to discover... everything that we have yet to experience... everything that we have yet to create.   We were brought up in fear of the unknown... but why fear something that we have yet to understand?  It could be something wonderful and exciting!  It could be something meaningful and life changing!!  We do not always have to ask such critical questions about the unknown... only because it really comes down to our own experiences and our own opinions of everything.  Every moment of our lives we are creating and experiencing our unknowns.  I know this may seem unclear because I am speaking about something that is not concrete or something that is not defined... but that's the beauty part of it all!!  Right now.. this very moment... YOU maybe experiencing something that you have no control over... no expectations... just hope...  you've put out into the universe your gratitude for what you have and you've asked for what you've desired.. now ... we wait... we wait for the unknown result/outcome.. the unknown answer.

It's very easy to let fear into your mind when you have no clear idea of what may become of certain situations... but it's important to keep our minds positive and our hearts open.  Doing this helps us accept and appreciate what is to become of our current unknown.  It allows us to keep our minds and our hearts free... it allows us to grow.




*Peace

Take some time

Take the time to stop and appreciate life and the beauty it brings.  Often we get caught up in our daily grind that we forget to acknowledge and appreciate the little things.  The beautiful fall sunsets... the turning colors of the leaves... the family of geese waddling towards the pond or lake.  Beauty and love are all around us... we just have to open our eyes... and look up. Smile back at the sun and allow yourself to bask in its warmth.
I know and understand that life can get hectic with deadlines...exams...events/functions... and everything else in between.  But there comes a time where our deadlines and obligations become so heavy that we feel as if we cannot breathe. That's when we must stop or slow down.. and enjoy life for what it is and what it brings.
When can we just slow our pace or lay down on the green grass...look up in the sky and let life's beauties amaze us??  Feel the breeze on our faces...and watch the leaves dance on the trees.  Enjoy life my brothers and sisters... you deserve to enjoy and love.
**Namaste*

Open your heart to overcome fear

Fear is so powerful.. that sometimes our logic/minds want and allow it to prevail. When your heartbreaks or yearns for something or someone... your body feels as if it is contracting all the energy around you and focusing it toward your center... your heart. Tears start to flow and all you want to do is speak your truth... but fear takes over your logic to remind you of its presence. Some things take time and patience... we cannot speak our truth straight away... (this I know very well). Although our hearts are breaking and tears begin to fall... we must remember that we will always and forever choose love over fear. We open our hearts ... let the wind carry away our fears... allow love back into our hearts and joy back into our minds. Look up and see the love all around you... the miracle life brings... the joy that we can embrace. Hope begins to build ... and fear is carried away as the sunsets.

Certain situations may and WILL break our hearts... but we must always have hope in love. Remember that we were created in the act of love... we are surrounded with love... we must share the love that we are so fortunate to have in our lives. "Fear is not the matter... I would so much rather open up my heart" - Amel Larrieux **Namaste

Searching

Many search for their truth or just the ultimate truth often from external sources.  We continue this search for months even years... once we feel like we've tapped out our external sources... and we are still unsatisfied with the truth or the lack of progression... we give up. Lost in our thoughts and swimming in a large ocean of uncertainty... we often internalize these feelings of self doubt and confusion.. only to cause more uncertainty about the world... the truth... and worse... the self. 

This is where internal searching plays its greatest role.  We are here for ourselves... we can hear the truth within ourselves.  The truth begins from the individual and will manifest to the ultimate truth.  You just have to allow it... and allow yourself to discover and createYOUR truth.  Remember that everything in life is a process.  Just like a seed turns into a beautiful flower ...you must care for it, and allow it to grow. You must possess and practice patience to witness the beauty and peace it will bring. 

Of course, external searching is also a good method in finding the truth... but I strongly feel that we must use it as a guide to create our own truth.


*Love & Peace

The Flow

I know that we've been told all our lives to hold certain emotions... to remain silent because we shouldn't be saying something that goes against what we've been taught. Letting the flow of energy is key to finding our peace. Once we find our inner peace... we can and will find peace overall. We open our hearts to certain things and certain people... and we open our minds to certain thoughts and opinions... yet it is so difficult for us to accept change. I used to ask the universe "Why can't he/she/they change?" or "How could someone think like this/that?". ... but without opposing thoughts and opinions... how can we formulate and create our own? Currently... I find myself thanking the universe for sending me these differing thoughts and opinions because now is my chance to choose carefully. To make a choice ... do I honor my present feelings, thoughts and opinions... or do I change my perception? Like the word KARMA... the word CHANGE holds a negative connotation in most minds. But they are neither bad nor good. They are natural processes... they are natural laws. Therefore, to change one's perception may bring growth and may open the mind, and the Self, to positive energies and vibrations. Change is a beautiful thing... but we were taught: "always remain the same". If we substitute "the same" with "true" ... we hear ... "always remain true". True to who? True to yourSELF. Allowing change for yourself permits the self to grow and experience.

Allow the energy to flow naturally by staying true to your thoughts and emotions. If this flow is disrupted or blocked... we begin to internalize and contract this energy.... until it explodes into anxiety and/or depression. Give your peace to keep your peace.


Words flowing from my heart space. I feel a subtle pressure over my brow/forehead right now. What does this mean? Whatever it is...it feels very loving and joyful. :)

I had to share this video/song!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrhaZLcKXLg

She has an amazing voice. It creates a floating feeling in my heart and puts a smile on my face. Even on this rainy and thunderstorm filled night... it makes me feel so much love... that I just EXPLODE and give it right back! :) "I can live on your smile" paints a picture of a sunny day, blue sky with a few clouds passing by and trees.

I could not have said it any better! It's as if she just took my thoughts about ... EVERYTHING beautiful in life and sang it right back to me.

LOVE LOVE LOVE :)
