How to stay happy and composed while facing difficult circumstances?

At this time I have found myself in very challenging circumstances.

Now there is a pandemic.

In addition, my family has been going through a lot of pain, my aged parents were involved in a very serious car accident which took the life of my mother.

How does a person cope with so many difficulties at once?

In my experience, the deeper one’s Spiritual connection, the more true one is to their own Spiritual path, the more peace and calm one is able to maintain.

Clinging to the Divine for support, Grace flows. Light comes in. Compassion is felt.

Instead of relying on the outside world for support, when turning to the Divine, when spending more time in meditation and prayer, Peace prevails.

In my life there have been many ups and downs, huge losses and tremendous obstacles to overcome.

I know that many times I have felt that I could not manage any more challenges.  That is when i find my support from the Light, the Divine, the beautiful Beings who are near me each day and bring me inner guidance, spiritual support and yes, even joy!

Today I woke up feeling weary and tired.  I wondered how I could continue on.

As I rose from sleep all of a sudden I began to feel JOY.  Pure JOY.  I knew it was the Divine coming to me, bringing me the feeling that life is Joyous, Happy and Worth Living even when things all around you are so challenging.  The Spirit that I am can still thrive, can still find Happiness and Joy from within My SELF.

Have you ever wondered why we are here on this Earth?

Can it be that we are here for more than just getting an education so we can then find a good job to support ourselves and our family?  Are we here to be a parent,  a Mother, Father or a Child? Grandfather or Grandmother? Aunt, Uncle or Cousin?   Are we here to be a Doctor, Nurse, Engineer, Teacher or Scientist?

Could it be that our purpose here on Earth is something more than just the day to day responsibilities and challenges in life we all have?

When we step back from the busy schedules and myriad activities we have each chosen for ourselves and begin to look at our lives from a different perspective, can we see that there may be a greater reason for taking birth on this Earth plane?

What could our purpose be for being on Earth?

This is the question of our lifetime. A question so important that it cannot be ignored or pushed aside.

I think that if each person will look deeply inside them-self they might find the answer, an important answer that will take them to a higher plane of existence, to a greater realm of existence,  to that of their Higher Self, to their own ENLIGHTENMENT.

It has come to me that our life is meant for Joy.  Happiness. Love.

To live a Peaceful Life.

After many years on a Spiritual Journey,  it is my realization.  To rise above life’s many stresses and begin to live a life in Inner Stillness and Peace. To be fully engaged in worldly life but not be affected by it.

To remain as a witness.

It is by association, being near Spiritual Masters, Realized Souls for so many years,  I now find myself living in Love, Peace, Joy, Serenity and True Happiness.

Have you ever heard the idea that others could read your mind?  And not only read your mind but have Awareness of all your thoughts, words and actions that have ever occurred in your life?

I have had direct experience that this level of Awareness exists.

It is a level beyond this dimension, this outer reality we call the world.

It is a level of Higher Awareness, higher dimensions of Consciousness that exist every moment.  This level is omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent.

The key to finding this level, in my experience, is to meditate, work with the light, stay on the Spiritual Path and most importantly, spend time with those who are already living in this state of Higher Awareness.

It is said that even to learn to tie one’s shoes, one needs a teacher.  To learn to swim, we need a teacher.  To learn to read and write we seek a teacher. To get to our destination while traveling we need a road map.

To find your own Higher Awareness, your own Enlightenment, seek the ones who are already Enlightened.

Only those who are fully Awake can Awaken another.

Inner Peace…

I have seen that many people are losing their Peace.  It is important to always find a balance within oneself.

The world outside will constantly be in flux, in turmoil, in activity.  If we continue to focus our attention there we will lose our Inner Peace.

In order to find Inner Peace we must find time each day to be still, quiet, contemplative.

Some find this time during a quiet walk alone. Others through meditation. Some do Tai Chi, yoga or breathing. Some sit and behold a sunrise or sunset and contemplate its beauty. Some find nature will bring stillness and quietude within.

It is important for each person to go inside oneself and reconnect with the beautiful spirit that they are and always have been.   Release the chaos of the outside world and find the Inner world of Love, Light, Compassion and Peace.

Be Still Now.

I recently attended a celebration at a local Botanical Garden.  It was one of the most amazing days I have experienced in many years.

I, for the first time, had the experience of a Blessing Ceremony conducted by a group of Traditional Mexican Healers called Curanderos.  In the ceremony they blessed Mother Earth and called in the Four Directions.  As they drummed, blew the conch, distributed blessed water and smudged participants with the fragrant smoke of burning herbs, the energy became higher and higher.  Divine Energies began to fill the garden.  People began to feel more joyful and exuberant.  There were so many smiling faces. Children were happy and playing.  The healing energy of Light continued throughout the day. Several people shared that they had very powerful experiences of healing from their interactions with the Curanderos.

Many thanks to the beautiful Curanderos who brought us so much Divine Light, Sacredness and Healing.

Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti

 CURANDERISMO is the art of Mexican Folk Healing, from the word curar, meaning to heal. Curanderismo uses an holistic approach to healing – treating body, mind, and spirit

It is one of the highest Spiritual Teachings to recognize that we are all ONE.  The great Spiritual Masters of our time teach us that we are not separate from one another but one light, one consciousness, One World Family.   The teaching shows us to accept all people as part of our SELF regardless of race, religion, culture or beliefs.

Bringing people together in Unity  while accepting the wonderful diversity is a way toward World Peace.

Loving others, accepting others, forgiving others and helping others is the Dharmic Path.
