The Universe Speaks

You'll never know what lies below

unless you go there.

You'll never know what lies within

unless you explore there.

So take a journey

into your Soul

and find out

who you really are.

Trees Speak

Trees Speak

We were headed into the woods

for a hike this afternoon.

We had had

a heavy rain in the morning.

It was still overcast and windy.

The trees all looked different,

dark wet trunks,

glistening wet leaves

of a lively green color

even in the dusky light let

in by the heavy cloud cover.

The moss so green

with its sheen on,

the trail was shiny and moist

just so different

from a typical

dusty summer’s day.

Laura had her ear buds in

and lagged a bit behind me

lost in the music

and the scene.

I was lost

in the whisper

of the wind.

Not even noticing it

until the wind made

the tree's leaves talk.

Trees speak,

sometimes it was loud

and so raucous

you could even feel it

down on the trail.

Other times

it faded away

from my awareness

completely drifting off

into the canopy

of the trees

that were thirty feet

above us.

Rising ever so subtly

into a whisper

and then a commotion.

Like a gaggle of friends

having a grand old time.

The trees were enticing

both of us

into their realm.

A new appreciation arose

for the beauty of Mother Nature

in all her damp clothing.

Drawn into

the peace of the forest,

the mood of the woods,

the stillness of the path,

and the restlessness

of the wind,

we were.

Magically transported

to an aspect of it,

we had rarely seen

or noticed.

 Experienced it

this day we did. 

Like the glistening facet

of a diamond.

Thankful for our time

with Mother Nature

and for how she led us

into a new understanding

of just how beautiful she is.

Listen for the whisper

the trees speak,

are you

listening?

Point Of Attraction

Point Of Attraction

Where is your focus,

your point of attraction?

This awareness theme

keeps coming at me

from so many different directions;

it has me considering

how we focus our energy and thoughts.

What matters?

Is it more important for me

to just react to outside influences or news

and get all worked up about them?

Or is it in my best interest

to focus on what I want out of life.

Choose the direction I cast my focus on,

instead of blindly reacting

to the plethora of negative news or situations

that bombard us every day.

Awareness

followed by choice

and an alignment

with my higher self

choosing to look

for the positives

and the bright spots.

Focusing on what I can do

to make my life more fulfilling,

more abundant,

more peaceful,

and more loving.

If we just pause

when we feel harried

and ask:

Do I want this?

Do I want to react to this

in this way?

Can't I find

something worthwhile

in any situation?

Rise up and view it

from a higher perspective,

or a longer one,

or one that sees

a growth opportunity

in what faces me.

So we are back where we started

where do we put our focus,

on the negative or the positive?

There are many opportunities

to choose either way

in every day.

What is

my point of attraction

this day?

My wish for you

is to make those choices

in the highest and best interest

of your continued growth,

may you grow in Love,

share Love,

and be Love.

All My Love Always, Keith

Breathe

Breathe

Breathe as a gain,

an expansion of the heart and mind

through the Loving breath of the One that breathes us

to expand into a greater expression of ourselves

and thus the One.

Learning To Say Goodbye

Learning To Say Goodbye

I have been using

this meditative Holistic breathing technique

the past few weeks.

Its purpose is to help you release

old memories and feelings

that aren't supporting your highest good.

I've noticed changes

during the meditation and afterward.

Suddenly having the urge

to tell some childhood stories

to my loving wife

about stuff she never knew.

As I meditated on that notion tonight,

the realization came that I had chosen

to block chunks of memory

from childhood and adulthood.

I believe some of the blocks

were from unresolved grief.

Many memories surrounding

the burying of my son.

A common thread has run through my life.

It started with the very first loss, my dog.

I never got to say goodbye

at the end while she was still alive.

Then over the years

my dad, my son, my mom, and my first wife,

all the significant losses in my life

all without an opportunity to say a final goodbye.

The introduction for this meditation

prepares you

to feel the release of old issues,

then to open more

Spiritually, creatively, etc.

As you listen and participate

time after time,

it builds on these points.

Near the end

of the sixth listen tonight

I felt a closeness

and started to write by writing:

"Learning to say goodbye."

Then I mentally asked

if my first wife was there

she said I am

and we shared loving a phrase

we had always used.

I asked if my son was there

and he said yes, told me he loved me.

We shared a tender loving moment

on the eve of my birthday.

 I went on to write this,

for the three of us.

Learning to say goodbye,

without saying goodbye.

Learning to live life

as the goodbye.

So it will be

so very well known

when it is time

for the real goodbye.

Expressing love,

being love,

so you don't even

have to use

the word, Love.

For it is known

without even being said. 

Learning to say goodbye.

Without saying goodbye.

Is that my mission

this incarnation

to explore my emotional reaction

to these seemingly silent losses?

To understand we are Spiritual beings

having a human experience.

Each birth

another great adventure unleashed

and each human death

a joyous reunion

of going back home

from whence we came

yet again.

If it is, this meditation

is moving me

in the right direction

of that, I am so very sure.

There are gifts hidden in this meditation.

There are gifts hidden

in things you thought you had dealt with

but hadn't.

There were gifts given

and received in his visit.

Thank you son,

for the birthday present

last night.

Goodbye Philip

I love you, I always will.

  

 All  My Love Always, Keith

Spirit Nudges You

Spirit Nudges You

I’ve been using a Holistic Breathing meditation.

Tonight I'm meditating on it.

In the introduction,

they tell you to do what you feel like doing.

I set my intention to

start repeating out loud

every affirmation that is said.

When the affirmation came as

"My Body Is A Miracle

It Knows How To Heal Itself."

As I spoke it, I got my Spirit Nudge.

I just knew I had to send that

to my friend who has cancer.

I sat there doing this

loud breathing technique

and typing her an email.

I hit the send button

during this statement

"I Came Here For Important Reasons.

I'm Going To Share My gifts"

Spirit acknowledging my prayer gift to her.

So as I shared a prayer gift

with my friend earlier

I also share a gift with all of you.

Thank you, Spirit for moving in my life

in ways that get my attention.

I am so grateful.

Awakening to my Spirituality

and sharing it.

All My Love Always, Keith

Wayne Dyer Quotes

A dear friend sent me this today.

It so resonated with a group discussion

we had after Monday's channel I had to share.

Ego vs. the conscious mind:

"Your ego wants you to look

for the inside

on the outside.

The outer illusion

is the major preoccupation of the ego.

The ego-idea has been with us

ever since we began to think.

It sends us false messages

about our true nature.

It leads us to make assumptions

about what will make us happy

and we end up frustrated.

It pushes us to promote our self-importance

while we yearn

for a deeper and richer life experience.

It causes us to fall into the void

of self-absorption, again and again,

not knowing that we need

only shed the false idea of who we are.

Our true self is eternal.

It is the God force within us.

The way of our higher self

is to reflect our inner reality rather

than the outer illusion.

The description given by Sogyal Rinpoche

in The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying

is a wonderful explanation of this discovery:

“Two people have been living in you

all of your life.

One is the ego,

garrulous, demanding, hysterical, calculating;

the other is

the hidden spiritual being,

whose still voice of wisdom

you have only rarely heard or attended to.

"He refers to this hidden spiritual being

as our wise guide.

When we learn to transcend the illusions

sponsored by the ego,

we can access this wise guide.

We can invite in

the higher aspects of ourselves

to function in their

natural, loving, and integrated design."

--Wayne Dyer

ONENESS

ONENESS

With great respect, I call on the Universe

of Infinite Unconditional Love,

Compassion, and Profound Peace.

For I am in the Universe

of Infinite Unconditional Love,

Compassion, and Profound Peace.

The Universe of Infinite Unconditional Love,

Compassion, and Profound Peace

is in this body I inhabit.

The Universe of Infinite Unconditional Love,

Compassion, and Profound Peace and I are One.

Over the past few years,

I have used this phrasing thousands of times

as I entered my Qi Gong practice.

Yesterday I thought of beginning

to lead a meditation starting with this wording.

Practicing it out loud

seeing what would come after.

What I would be led to say.

In meditation what arose was

how I was trying to wrap my mind around it.

But when I spoke of it,

it was evident that what I have been doing

these past few years is trying to

open my mind to it.

The recognition flashed through me

that the Universe is Infinite

you cannot be wrapping your mind

around the Infinite

the only possible entry point

is being open to it,

being open to the experience

of Oneness

feeling, experiencing, and being it

not an intellectual pursuit of it.

Becoming One with the Universe,

the Oneness that you are

is an experience.

Felt as a rush of feelings flowing through you

with such grace and speed

you feel transcended, 

you are it!

Lifted to a knowing

beyond anything you can perceive

for if you can perceive it,

that's only part of it.

It encompasses everything and anything

all at the same time.

I hope to get there again someday

to experience the union

with the All That Is.

In the meantime,

I retain the memory of that day

on the golf course

when I truly surrendered and experienced

the Universe of Infinite Unconditional Love,

Compassion, and Profound Peace

mired in such a deep grief

that it led me surrendering

everything to God

in a moment

that has transformed my life.

Rising like a phoenix

from the ashes

to be reborn;

reborn to exploring

this Infinite Unconditional Love,

Compassion, and Profound Peace

that surrounded me that day.

Reborn to years after that

to write about the experience

and be reminded

that as I discussed this for hours

with my hospice counselor, 

I told her the next thing that happened was

I had this download from Spirit

“To Share.”

Now in sharing this these years later,

I open to a new understanding of it.

To realizing I had even been guided

to turn it into my Qi Gong mantra.

I hope my words have opened you

to ponder what I have said.

For I now live this life

with a far different perspective

ever pursuing a greater opening

to my feeling, being,

and experiencing what I truly am.

All My Love Always, Keith
