The ABC's of Spiritual Wisdom


To be reminded of our spiritual nature - all we have to do is know our ABC's !
While out in Los Angeles last month at the Conscious Life Expo, I got to reunite with my friend, author, lecturer and publisher of Kinetics Magazine, Kathryn Brinkley.

During a talk she gave with her husband, Dannion Brinkley, I had the pleasure of listening to her deliver a wonderful "list" of spiritual to-do's, what she calls "The ABC's of Spiritual Wisdom."  I asked her if I could share this with my audience here at Higher Journeys and she happily agreed.  So here they are for you...

The ABC's of Spiritual Wisdom 
Assume nothing
Breathe deeply
Cultivate compassion
Dream big
Embrace Joy
Follow your heart
Give generously
Hug others often
Inspire by example
Journal your thoughts
Kiss passionately
Love lavishly
Meditate daily
Never blame
Open your mind
Purge the past
Quest for truth
Relinquish anger
Speak gently
Think beautiful thoughts
Utter words of appreciation
Valiantly uphold righteousness
Work with enthusiasm
X-tend kindness abundantly
Yearn for peace
Zigzag the straight and narrow path

If we can implement even a few of these easy acts of spirit each day, we will see and BE the change we've been so longing to see - It's truly in our hands (and in our hearts)!

Happy Friday!

Reunions

The Consciousness Momentum is BUILDING!

While managing to slip out of "snowy Boston" in between two significant snowstorms, I found myself amid somewhat blue skies, much milder temperatures and a whole bunch of friends whom I hadn't seen probably since last year, at the Conscious Life Expo in Los Angeles.

Despite the frenetic pace, and doing interviews and meetings on the fly, it was absolutely exhilarating to see so many (some estimates say nearly 15 thousand) attend the 12th annual conference which covers the soup to nuts of consciousness, new thought, activism and fringe subjects.

Then I spent a little bit of private time with The Intention Experiment and The Bond author and prolific speaker, Lynne McTaggart, whom I'll be interviewing in March, as well as crop circle researcher and regression therapist Barbara Lamb, who'll be sharing some of her own profound experiences with the Conscious Inquiry audience in an upcoming episode.

It was great to also hook up with new age recording artist, Steven Halpern (whom I've worked with previously, but had never met, face-to-face), and reunite with my friend and colleague Howard Martin from HeartMath and dear friends, Dannion and Kathryn Brinkley for dinner out on the town!

I then met up with Coast to Coast AM's George Noory at an event sponsored by Gaiam TV.  Spending a few minutes with him reminded me of the good 'ole days of broadcast media.  George's been in the biz for over forty years and I started my career in television and radio nearly 30 years ago - My how time flies!




We've all come a long way - seen a lot of changes.  I'm so grateful to say I'm partaking in the media paradigm shift that has been so long in the making!

When you're in this work of "alternative news," pounding the pavement and trying your best to help awaken people to all of the wonders and odysseys of what we call reality, it can sometimes feel like you're going it alone!  When you can occasionally come together, give an embrace or two, share "war stories" AND stories of achievement, it makes it all worthwhile - you are reassured that you're not alone in this mission to bring us all together for true evolution!  There are so many who are working so diligently to put important information on the map to the masses - my hats off to all of them for creating change in so many critical areas of our lives!

To get a preview of my upcoming interviews on Conscious Life News, click here!

Pssst!  Be sure to peak in on a sample chapter of the forthcoming release of Conscious Musings and also sign up for the free newsletter for updates on the book launch, free gifts and much more!

Gratitude for the Gift of Today

Open your heart to all the blessings this day has to offer.

As humans, we are endowed with so many gifts – the gift of emotion, of expression, of creativity and love.  We are given the gift of today.

Too often, the social mores of modern society tug on our emotional fragility, tempting us to be swallowed up in a sea of despair.  But just when it seems that there is no hope for happiness, we can open our hearts in gratitude to the natural gifts that we are given on this very day.

Whether it is gazing upon the unfurling of a flower with its intricate and exquisite color, texture and fragrance, or glancing up at the rich blue sky dotted with clouds dancing just above us, or the smile of a stranger we see on the street, these are all gifts, that when gratefully acknowledged have the capacity to bring us back to center; back to our heart.

Here is one of the most touching and heartwarming video montages I have every laid eyes on.  It was created by filmmaker, Louie Schwartzberg and its entitled, simply – Gratitude.

I encourage you to make this little video a part of your day, each day as a gentle reminder that beauty, happiness and love are gifts that we can choose to receive each and every day of our lives.


Thank you Louie for sharing this with the world!  I am ever so grateful for your gift to us!
