Guiding Thought

You are worth the effort it requires to move your mind into Love. You are worth the time of waiting, in patience, for Knowing to arrive. Every moment, every second that you open to simply being willing to allow Love to enter is a moment offered to Eternity; a moment offered to healing, a moment offered to Unity.

Love simply settles slowly, quietly, gently, beyond sense-perception. So, wait in patience and take the effort to move your mind to join the quiet stillness of Love. Rest. Be at Peace. Here is all you want and need.

Reflection

Is it really already day 18? Wow. how are you doing with the Journey?

Awareness of the approach to the Journey is part of the Journey too. I admit: I’ve been a bit aloof this Journey. I don’t know if you can tell or not, but I can. I’ve felt this spinning-panic-detached cycle for, yeah, since the Journey began. First my mind spins–while I’m watching it, so I don’t let it get too out of control, Then, maybe because I reign it in, it goes into a panic. Then, I pray or do a fire ceremony, and I seem to calm down a bit…but the spinning has lingered in the wings almost constantly. I’ve gone through this cycle about 4 full times in the past 3 weeks.

It’s a bit exhausting.

I’ve found a new chant. Normally, Om Namah Shivaya is my go-to mantra. I’ve still been doing it, but this new chant has kind of taken over. It’s like all my mind wants is this new chant. Here it is:

Om Sat Chit Ananda Parabrahma
Purushothama Paramatma
Sri Bhagavathi Sametha
Sri Bhagavathe Namaha

Om – We are calling on the highest energy, of all there is
Sat – The formless
Chit – Consciousness of the universe
Ananda- Pure love, bliss and joy
Para brahma –The supreme creator
Purushothama -Who has incarnated in human form to help guide mankind
Paramatma -Who comes to me in my heart, and becomes my inner voice whenever I ask
Sri Bhagavati – The divine mother, the power aspect of creation
Same tha- Together within
Sri Bhagavate -The Father of creation which is unchangeable and permanent
Namaha- I thank you and acknowledge this presence in my life. I ask for your guidance at all times See this page for more details

There is a big-deal situation going on in my life, regarding my worth. I feel like this mantra is guiding me, keeping me focused, pulling me out of the spinning. When I feel myself start spinning, I start chanting this mantra in my head, then my brain gets obsessed with the chant, rather than what it was obsessing over.

I don’t mind feeling addicted to this chant. I sleep with it on, I have it on in my car. There’s an app that has it, and I’ve been listening to it almost non-stop.

Then there’s today’s Guiding Thought as encouragement. You are worth the effort it requires to move your mind into Love. YAY! That’s what I’ve been doing with this chant!

You are worth the time of waiting, in patience, for Knowing to arrive. UGH. This has been hard. But I am worth it. I know I need to be patient. I know that I need to wait…but there’s this spinning, and this panic… >sigh< Just today, I had a moment of insight, though. My thought was, “Let it unfold. It’s happening. Let it unfold.” That gave me assurance and calm.

Every moment, every second that you open to simply being willing to allow Love to enter is a moment offered to Eternity; a moment offered to healing, a moment offered to Unity. This is another benefit of the chant. Every second I have the chant going on in my head, even when there is spinning and panic– I am offering up to the Divine and affirming the presence and guidance of the Divine.

Love simply settles slowly, quietly, gently, beyond sense-perception. So, wait in patience and take the effort to move your mind to join the quiet stillness of Love. Rest. Be at Peace. Here is all you want and need. This is definitely easier said than done these days, but I do have moments of calm.

Listen yourself. Be Peace. Know Peace. Go with God.
