In The Show Me State

Hi Beautiful Light Beings,

Happy New Year and abundant blessings to you all in 201o.

I am very excited to start this New Year with new discoveries in rather familiar places. I have been searching outside for something that has been inside all along.

As many of you know I am currently taking a rest here in Missouri with my family, before I embark on India and other amazing places on this planet!! I was a little bit hesitant for coming and staying longer then a week, but every direction I turned I was guided gently back to St. Louis the "Show Me" state. So here I am.....it hasn't been the easiest time....as I wish to make analytical sense of everything....learning a lesson of "being" instead of "doing".

Since the blog is called In Love & Service...I'd like to share an awareness I came to the other day and will implement into my New Year affirmations.

The other morning I work up and started my day in a completely chaotic state! I believe the cold pissed me off, then I moved onto to cell phone problems and vomited a mess of words to the service rep...which was completely irrelevant to the situation. Then I proceeded to beat myself up for everything that I had not yet accomplished in 2010....after all It had already been 5 days! Silly right? Well as a human I fully accept the crazy moments life may bring, but I don't have to stay there and I can continue to seek a higher conscious connection with source!

As I was driving later in the day the message came to me.....If I would make the conscious decision every day upon opening my eyes to serve in EVERYTHING.....the rest is taken care of. A huge sense of relief came over me and I felt fear being gracefully dismissed. If we are always serving in all of our affairs then we will never need to be concerned with anything else! So my friends I continue on my journey to serve humanity!!!


Thank You Shiva for the beautiful puja tonight & many blessings to Danielle for coordinating the event!! Best of luck Danielle with the new studio!! If your in St. Louis and looking for some yoga from the heart check out D's Yoga!!

Smothering you all with my love ( in a good way!!)

Let the journey continue.......

Everything Borrowed!

Hi!

I apologize for the gap between now & my last post, as I having been going through a transition period.

Tonight I attended my very first Bikram Yoga class, hard to believe that I had never sought such a powerful outlet before. I wanted to practice my yoga skills, so I didn't embarrass myself too much in front of Saul David Ray in December. I am looking forward to interacting more with my body and breath. I felt that my bod was saying "it is about time" during the yoga class...it was a very powerful release and with that came an intense sense of peace.

The lesson I believe that has been showing up in all aspects of my life is simply this: Nothing belongs to us, it is all borrowed from the Universe! Over the past few weeks I have gotten the opportunity to be stretched and stripped of all that I once thought was mine. Truth is nothing belongs to me and I must treat everything as a precious gift from the Universe.

It all started when I stated to the Universe that I was willing to sacrifice it all to serve humanity. Be careful what you request from the Universe and be sure you are fully prepared when asking for such a powerful lesson.

I have taken a huge leap of faith and I will share that I have been getting into fear lately. At the moment I have few material items and ownership of things that brings me comfort. In fact I have been removed of so much, that I am beginning to feel a since of loss. The loss may not feel good, but I am entering into a process which will slowly show me what serving humanity is really about.

Hawaii is coming up in just four short weeks and every part of my being is excited for the new adventure!

Let the love and abundance of the Universe flow through every cell of your body!!

Peace & Love!

Namaste!

Desire With No Attachment To The Outcome

Today I got a glimpse of awareness on physical,emotional, and mental attachment to material items. I got to be of service and help a dear friend of mine clean out her garage and my, us humans can sure collect & hold on to so much! I instantly began to think of all the people in the world and how many material items each person is probably holding on to......the numbers seems infinite!


Then I proceeded to think of all the people without clothes,furniture,recreational items, ect. We seem to feel bad or pitty the people without, but why is that? Why do we feel sad for the one's that have less attachment to these material items? I say feel sad for the rest of the world that "must have" this or that!


I was in Lowe's and Walmart today and got to observe people all around the store glowing at each material item they came in contact with. Can you imagine if they became aware that everything they see is really not as they see it. We are all energy and have given power and meaning to everything that we have come in contact with. Yes, as humans we are very powerful creatures!

Ofcourse it is a wonderful feeling to desire something and have it manifest in front of you, even in seconds! We can feel the joy of having that item and be in a state of ultimate gratitude! I believe it is important to remember everything we have acquired on this Universe has been granted to us on loan. After all, everything is all of the same- we are just a piece of the greater Whole!


I will be traveling to Hawaii in a few months and my goal is to take two maybe three bags with clothes and books and donate the rest of my stuff. I have experienced being with out items I thought I "needed" for well over 2 years and I am here to tell you that I lived and did just fine without it all! Once I cleared the emotion and mental attachment to those items, I felt free and ever better then I felt with all that "stuff".


Alice Bailey and the Tibetan master Djwhal Khul in Serving Humanity, put it so lightly "Sooner or later the soul arrives at the realization of the futility of material ambition. This could take eons of lifetimes. But when the soul arrives at this point, a high state of integration is marked and there is a huge shift of consciousness. The soul then longs to function as part of the greater Whole." I recommend you meditate on this section as it is very powerful and will change you completely.


Well the Universe would like me to wrap this up......so lastly I leave you with this beautiful quote:

"By performing action without attachment man reaches the supreme" -Bhagavad Gita


Peace & Love,

Erin
