I am not enough…

arjaysee — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 01:45:43 +0000

What if whenever I worry that I’m not good enough (or one of its relatives…I am not smart enough, strong enough, spiritual enough, loving enough, or whatever else I may think I am supposed to be, that I judge myself as not being at the moment), it is only because I am currently seeing myself as disconnected from everything?

In this limited definition of I, it’s probably true that I am not enough.

However if I can use that feeling as a gentle reminder to connect to all that is, to open up and know that I am a part of everything – then I can remember that I am certainly enough! Actually I am more than enough. I am capable, adaptable, strong, creative, joyful, wise, courageous, and more…

And so is everyone else! And maybe sometimes they also forget…

Guide for the day …

Daily Framework

What if everything is available?

arjaysee — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 01:04:35 +0000

What if everything is available to us all the time?
Everything could mean ideas, solutions or problems, possibilities to move in one direction or another, feeling stuck, feeling free, calm or anxious thoughts, serene or harried emotions, having a hard life or things coming easily, having plenty of stuff or not enough, feeling useful or careless, having what you want, not having what you want, feeling afraid and small, feeling courageous and worthy, etc., etc., etc…
What if the focus of our attention (what we pull into our awareness) in each moment is what creates our experience of the moment… which turns into a series of moments… which becomes our day… which turns into a series of days… which becomes our life?
What if we are the only one who can control the focus of our own attention in each moment?
What if when we gave up control or pretended we didn’t have control of how we focused our attention, we learned to recognize it and take back control right in that moment?
This is the creation of our life after all…pretty important stuff!
What kind of life are you creating?
Every moment counts…

GBTTMTTATIESHGHSWN

One of my current favorite theories is that God, Bigger Than That, More Than That, All That Is, Everything, Source, Highest Good, Higher Self, Whatever Name, (GBTTMTTATIESHGHSWN) is as indescribable as this is unpronounceable.

Frequently, I am uncomfortable not understanding. And yet I wouldn’t believe something I could understand! It is an interesting conflict I have set up for myself…

I regularly practice feeling comfort, serenity, joy, peace, love, wonder, and amazement regardless of whether I understand anything.

I am grateful that it seems to work.

My first favorite theory

arjaysee — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 05:26:59 +0000

When I was younger I began to question everything and came to believe that probably nothing was absolutely true.
It was a time of unraveling.

~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~

During the middle years … I adopted my first favorite theory.
I decided that life got more enjoyable when I turned toward love, joy, or peace to the best of my ability and as often as possible – regardless of whether it made any sense or not.
A few years later I added abundance (abundance of time, money, love, joy, and peace; abundance of all things I thought of as good or energizing in that moment).
I created this drawing to help me remember to turn toward love, joy, peace, and abundance to the best of my ability, and as often as possible.

Years later, I still think that probably nothing is absolutely true.
And I now have several favorite theories.
Some of them come and go, this one has stayed for a while.

What if everything is unfolding perfectly?

arjaysee — Sun, 11 Dec 2011 05:22:47 +0000

What if everything is unfolding in exactly the perfect way?
What if we really are good enough? Smart enough? Spiritual enough?
What if nothing is blocking what we need from coming easily to us?
What if we do not stand in the way of it – when it does?
What if we love those around us well enough? In the right way?
What if we know what to do in the moment we need to do it? And then confidently follow through…
What if we are perfect the way we are? What if we can change and still be perfect?
What if everything we are doing is exactly what we should be doing?
What if we are already strongly connected to the source energy of the universe (or universes, or whatever word represents the indescribable)? What if it doesn’t matter what it is called?
What if we catch on to things quickly and understand deeply?
What if we see exactly the things that we need to see to move comfortable on our journey?
What if we hear exactly the things we need to hear to take the next right step?
What if we are each wise in our own way? What if we are each perfectly courageous?
What if we feel an abundance of time and energy to do all the things that are important?
What if we believed all these things to be true? Right now.
Maybe I will practice this today, maybe even tomorrow…
Maybe you will, too…

Thinking on purpose…

arjaysee — Sat, 10 Dec 2011 05:58:36 +0000

My practice today is to notice, just observe, what is going on with my thoughts…and to not take them too seriously.

I notice that my stomach feels heavy and I identify the feeling with a sense of dread “Oh no!”
I wonder why? I guess it’s valuable to recognize whether there actually is a “lion in the bushes” waiting to pounce on me but probably not.
I think instead that this feeling is one I have reacted to in the past as if there is something I need to do, but I don’t know what it is, so I feel ineffective and sort of stuck, sort of foolish, as if I am too dumb to figure it out.
My reaction has sometimes been to take it very seriously, and then try to figure out why I feel that way.
But what if there is no big reason? What if my stomach just feels heavy or tight, and that’s all it is?
By the way, I can also (at the same time) feel energy tingling in my toes, I feel lightness at the top of my head, I hear the clock ticking and the air blowing through the heater vents. I have smooth and easy breathing, I am very comfortable and warm sitting in my chair.
So what if I take a break and purposefully direct my thoughts to those better feeling things, like comfort and gratitude and joy and love?
Interestingly, I notice a resistance in my thoughts like “oh no you don’t, you are not really loving, you are only pretending, it is an illusion, you only pretend to love” (interesting thoughts, just observing remember…)
What if I don’t have to be concerned with trying to push away negative thoughts or heaviness at all? What if I just focus on better feeling thoughts?
Maybe this practice is thinking on purpose rather than thinking by default? Maybe by directing my thoughts I create the life experiences I want.
At least I feel better…pretty cool!
Practice, practice, practice…

Wishing you as much fascination and joy in your practice! ~Arjay

We find what we are looking for…

arjaysee — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 03:23:59 +0000

I think we find what we are looking for, so my practice today is to look for and find evidence of love, joy, peace and abundance all around me.

I will focus on the examples of how people are kind to one another and I will practice being one of those examples.
I will feel great joy as many times as I can throughout the day, in all the cells of my body (as Eckhart puts it) including my toes, fingertips, my ears, my eyes, the tip of my nose, my hair, and the areas surrounding my body.
I will breathe in and breathe out joy and peace, and actively focus on feeling the wonderful abundance of all good and right things throughout the day.
I will practice holding the frequencies of compassion and gentleness, courage and kindness with all the people I come into contact with today.
I will feel happiness with people at the store, I will breathe out expansion of all good things as I am driving, I will feel the receiving and giving of love as I speak and listen to the people around me.

Do you want to try it? What are you looking for today?
