Journey of Remembrance

Journey of Remembrance

If I look back with eyes of awareness,

my spiritual journey has been a life long pursuit.

Lost in my humanness and the vagaries

of raising a family for decades.

I admit I was unaware of this

for a large part of my life.

A significant shift occurred in 2010.

The intensity of exploring my spirituality took off.

I started devouring books on it

and came to find

spiritual mentors and practices along the way.

My spiritual practice

has evolved and morphed over the years,

meditation and spiritual readings

have become an ingrained daily action.

I often begin and end my day that way.

Last night I picked up a favorite read

Spiritual Growth by Sanaya Roman.

A single chapter is easy to read before bed.

I enjoy ending my days

with a focus on my spiritual nature.

That lead me to read chapter 11

Accelerating Your Growth.

On page 109 I read

“for the more you desire it,

the more you bring

a spiritual intention

to everything you do…”

As words and sentences began flooding into my mind,

I knew I was being called

to write about these contemplations.

Bring a spiritual awareness

to everything you witness

unfolding in your life.

I am love, I am peace, I am serenity,

I am aware I have a choice.

As I wrote this,

I was reminded of another teaching

Suzanne Giesemann’s meditation CD

Journey of Remembrance.

I picked up my iPod and listened to it yet again.

The meditation leads you through

the Sacred Seven which are

Joy, Peace, Strength, Courage,

Gratitude, Humility, and Love.

Contemplating the Journey of Remembrance meditation,

A spiritual awareness of it opens.

A realization that everything you witness

unfolding in your life

is guided by spirit.

I am Joyous, I am Peaceful,

I am Strong, I am Courageous,

I am Grateful, I am Humble,

I am Loving.

These are not qualities

that exist “out there.”

They are found innately within me, always.

I am a spiritual being

having a human experience.

A feeling of serenity

arrives with the awareness

that I still have a choice

to live from any

or all

or none

of these qualities.

In any moment

I can choose

Joy, Peace,

Strength, Courage,

Gratitude, Humility,

or Love.

When I see through

the eyes of my Soul,

my Higher Self

I live from these

because I innately am these.

All My Love Always, Keith
