Feeling the connection of all, once completely in alignment, is like a surge of power—like the roller coaster online at the amusement park.

The choice lies in viewing it with gratitude: “Thank you for showing me that I am so close to the hive that I can be stung,” or being upset about the sting. However, if you choose to see it from a different perspective, you can recognize that you are close to the honey and that there is another way to gather the fruits of the bees' efforts.

These momentary flashes of insight, whether through lightning strikes or soft impulses, are there to illuminate your path and remind you that you’re not alone. Consider the flash and the visibility it offers, whether momentary or increasing, like the glow of a candle. It’s there for you. Instead of focusing on the darkness surrounding you, look for the clarity and what is illuminated; remember, it’s all fleeting—the darkness and the storms.

Emotion serves as your guidance system, letting you know when you veer off track, even slightly, so that you can correct your course

Introspection and openness to your own personal transformation and expansion, if desired, are available to you, especially if you are curious like a child. Embrace, experience, and find joy in all that life offers without fear of what comes next or what your next step may be. Enjoy your life experience.

Breaking away from the common, larger, and fast-moving streams of consciousness is as simple as a shift in focus, driven from within. Choosing your own path and following your own guidance, rather than flowing with the masses that may be destructive, is freeing.

“Settling into the appreciation frequency and then noticing is the key. The waiting, wanting, or even hoping in some cases is robbing you of the very experience you are seeking. Rather than seek, be a finder. Rather than want, be at peace with what you have.”

Enjoy the trip, enjoy the sun, enjoy the flowers—just enjoy, and you will effortlessly align with all that you desire. You’ve asked; it’s prepared. Now, enjoy yourself into the delivery lane of all that is held for you—without effort, without worry, with only being.

Breath is a purifying agent, clearing as it melds with the visceral components within your body. When focused attention is placed on the direction and intent of your breath, it becomes more purifying and healing than any chemical or modified substance designed to produce similar effects. You are a self-contained and healing machine when you allow it.

Many animals possess self-healing properties when injured, just as you do. Since all beings are energy, everything returns to its natural state unless it is held in opposition or blocked from returning due to thoughts and doubts. Like a man-made dam holding water back from its natural flow, you have the ability to keep healing properties at bay that function like many physicians within your own system.

The intimate nature of your internal workings is simple in its complexity. Each cell has a job and is needed; no part is miscellaneous. Other parts spring into action when called upon, and no one part ever deems its help unnecessary. Your system never says, "Not my job." By setting intentions to work with your modern medicine and not relinquishing all control to outside influences, you greatly enhance your body's ability to correct and modify itself.

Intention and allowing are the keys to releasing the dams that restrict the flow of breath, enabling it to orchestrate the myriad of health benefits available to you. This process helps guide any physically induced agents to their proper positions and in the right amounts, all working for your benefit. Allow flow and function to return; release tension within to facilitate this flow. Trust your body to assist and aid you, using your breath as the ultimate triage and guide for optimum health.

Playing with the Hand You’re Dealt

Play each hand as though it is your favorite; enjoy the situation and the people you have in your hand now, as that is what you’re experiencing in the NOW. Play to win for yourself—the joy, the purpose, and the reasons you choose. In the end, you’ll all be scraping the winnings toward you, and there’s always another game. Enjoy the hand at play. You’re the dealer and the player, and the deck is stacked in your favor. You wanted it shuffled for surprise and delight.

Imagine a Game of Billiards

Imagine a game of billiards, which seems very formal in the set, weight, and positioning of each of the balls. All are touching, gaining unseen energy that is imperceptible to the naked eye, influenced by the player, the atmosphere, and the very surface they sit on. Each ball, seemingly unaware of its destination, is led by a force outside itself, driven by a cue held by an individual—all exuding energy that will affect the outcome of their final positioning, either on the table or in the basket, which is their final destination.

Each game is new, with different energy, all varying depending on the hands and intent placing them, along with the energy and intent of the players and indeed, the balls themselves. This is how it seems to the balls; yet, to the player, they believe they are the only one controlling everything. Each component of the game affects the whole. It’s all a dance of energy, and the outcomes are never set or certain unless agreed upon at some level by all components in the game on an energetic level, whether the individual with the cue understands it or not.

When they do understand, the game becomes much more interesting and interactive. The level of agreement and participation among all players working together for a common outcome may be achieved. This is happening constantly and can be known and guided by you, whether others are aware or not. You are the ultimate pool shark of life; you affect those around you and resonate with them on a vibrational level, gaining their agreement and cooperation, whether they are conscious of it in their cognitive function or not.

All components—the atmosphere, the people, the ground—are parts of your own personal game. You affect and blend with others, often bringing out the best in them, even when they may not be prepared or it may not be on their agenda. To the extent that they are willing to be aware of their own vibrational output, they may awaken just a bit when they wonder what just happened to them after having been played by and with you. Bring out the best in all you encounter by allowing your best to shine—effortlessly, lovingly, and for fun.

It’s like writing the code of your own game as you play. The ultimate "if" and "then." You are the master programmer, the ultimate gamer. Your understanding of that role is never wrong; it’s about how deeply you immerse yourself in the character or whether you understand that you are a soul playing the role, wearing the wardrobe, and acting it out, with you also being the director.
