Search the Loving Each Day Quotes

It is important to take time for yourself each day -- time to focus into your spiritual awareness, time to drop the physical concerns of the moment and once again become aware that you are spiritual, that you are divine, that you are, through your Soul, an extension of the supreme God.

The mind cannot fathom the process for Soul. You don't have to try to understand something that is already within you. You just have to awaken to your experience of it. Then understanding appears.

So if you say, "I'm not getting anything out of my spiritual exercises (s.e.'s)," that's your ego saying that, and the ego won't ever get anything from s.e.'s.

It's okay to plan ahead, but don't emotionalize ahead. You can use your imagination without projecting emotions into the future: without fretting, worrying, anticipating troubles, and thereby actually creating troubles for yourself. It is so easy to make ourselves sick by continuing to focus on our negativity, our judgments, our guilt, and our upset. So when those feelings appear, observe them. When a distraction appears, observe it. When your hand comes up in front of your face, observe it. If a fly buzzes around and is coming at you, observe it. But instead, many people cry, "Oh my God, here comes a fly, it is carrying disease!" Then they are off and running.

Be like a pure, innocent child who prays to the father, mother, God with complete faith in the prayer being answered.

Unconditionally love all things.

When you teach your children to face the world and the people in it with honesty and truth, you are giving them a most valuable key for living. When you hide something, then you are not functioning in honesty, and you will not have love. When you are open, saying, "You can see everything that is going on," then there is nothing hidden. All is present. That is a very easy way to live and to teach your children to live.

How can something negative push you back in line? Let's say you are doing important work and the phone rings. You forgot to turn on the answering machine and the person calling knows you are there. You can either get frustrated and irritated and answer in a huff, or you can use the phone ringing to remind you to take a breath, to stretch, to say a quick prayer.

You can deal with any challenge in this way: lovingly extend your energy field and encompass the situation, then maintain a sense of neutral observation. This approach places you securely in your center, the Soul. Then, from this center, spiritual energy starts radiating outward. It does not radiate out as personality, but as an expression of your Soul's light.
