Lesson 323: When You Understand the Steps...

We’ve been learning about the passages of the heart all year. By learning how to move from pain, to compassion, connection and to love, it allows you to hold high vibration at any given time. Sure, there are times when you will forget to apply this cycle, but you can build on this in order to always hold the tools within you to reach a state of love. We can build our lows into highs. You don’t have to have worries, have things bother you or stress about situations. All it takes is a moment to pause and run these challenges you have through pain, compassion, connection and love. Today we are to think about something that is bothering us. Run through the passages of the heart and see how easy this is for you.

I just went through people that have annoyed me this week. My pain is my annoyance. I applied compassion, telling myself that everyone is human and do things we don’t always understand. I then moved into the relationships I hold with these people and the connection I have with them otherwise they wouldn’t be my friend. Finally, I realised the joy we all bring to each other’s lives and that is love. It was very easy to achieve this and I feel weight lifted off – which was my annoyance.

It’s so easy to do this then why don’t we apply it often enough? It takes practise and patience for sure! I still fail at this sometimes but I am always trying to be better. Sometimes we just don’t take a moment to pause and really think about moving through the passages to apply love. Ultimately, this is what we want to achieve in life right? To love unconditionally for all beings and that be pure.

Keep at it! You are achieving so much in your life just by recognising you want to awaken something bigger than yourself.

Day 323 - A Year to Clear - House Blessing

Lesson 323: House Blessing

When you come in. . . may all the weight of the world fall from your shoulders.
— John O'Donohue, Bless the Space Between Us

Today we are to enter a room or just your home and say out loud the quote above. You can even add your name to the front it and notice the difference. How do you feel when you say those words out loud?

The following days has a new theme applied for “blessing your home”. To me, I feel like this is about the appreciation for the space you live in. To leave your worries behind at the door and look around at the blessings you have within the home.

When I said those words out loud, I actually felt lighter. I felt like the weight of the world was actually gone. How can words have so much impact? Maybe because I believed in them, it changed my thoughts to less stressful and into relaxation? I am not sure, but if it takes a simple practise like those words to make me feel lifted when I enter a room or get home from work, then I am going to adopt this and allow myself to let go.
