The choice is between love and fear, everything else is arbitrary. You have only ever one decision to be made. Am I moving towards love or am I moving towards fear? If you can hold this foremost in your mind at any given moment then it will become clearer and clearer to you what the path towards love or the path towards fear looks and feels like. Know, however, that you can literally replace one path for another in the flick of a switch; the switch between choosing to live in love or to live in fear.

You will know the difference because your heart will be the monitor. If you are feeling enthusiastic, passionate, focused and expansive, you are on the path of love. If you are feeling taut, sensitive, limited and hemmed in, you are on the path of fear. Stop in the middle of a stride and ask yourself which path you are on and, if necessary, take a few physical steps right or left onto the path of love; this will help make it more deliberate.

If you are still unsure which path you are on in a given situation, ask love to reveal itself to you. Ask it to come and find you. Ask it to fill you so that you may know, without a shadow of a doubt, what it feels like. Call the path of love to you.

Do you ever feel like the `to-do` list is longer than the stamina you have to complete it? Then read on.

Peace of mind is the condition you achieve when you allow the trust in `All That Is` to pervade your soul. What we mean is that you must release all expectations, cares and worries and allow the feeling that all is in perfect order to transfuse your whole being. With every thought and worry that arises from your little self, allow the greatness of your bigger self to say, `Peace now, peace now little one, no need to worry. All is in perfect order and all is well`.

Do this as if you were trying to calm the worries of your own child, and you will see that this brings a renewed sense of calm. It is only when you have this peace of mind that you can begin to act in the world.

Do not act while trying to find your peace because your worries will manifest themselves in your reality unless you lay them to rest. Imagine that it is like trying to climb over a very high brick wall when in fact all the time there is a doorknob within the wall that opens a door that you had not seen as you were so busy trying to climb over the wall. You had convinced yourself that, yet again, the world was testing you and challenging you. You are busy berating yourself for not having trained harder and been fitter so that you could scale this high wall when all the time if you had simply been at peace you would have noticed the doorknob in the wall revealing the doorway through. These are among the illusions of your time that great `efforting` is needed.

Peace of mind and peace of heart are the tools that will help you move through any walls blocking your path. Return always and incessantly to the peace within and the doorknobs will reveal themselves.

Don’t ever give up dear one, you are always on the cusp of something new…

Every fear you transform into courage,
every judgement you transform into praise, every hatred you transform into love,
every criticism you transform into encouragement,
every hurt you transform into compassion,
every feeling of despair you transform into hope.

Everything you do for yourself, will be done for all.

Do not give up.

And so, we would say, love until it hurts. Sometimes you are afraid to love in case it hurts, and so you close yourself off, you do not give generously of yourself to others because you are afraid of their judgements or their comments. You are afraid that they will hurt you. Do not be…

Is it possible to consciously breathe all day long?

It is an almighty switch of beingness to consciously breathe because it makes you feel initially as if you are doing nothing of great use. To help convince your intellect into feeling that it is doing and achieving something consider that this breath is like a large key opening the door to this parallel universe.

This is the greatest training for learning to be and allowing life to dance with you in great freedom and joy. In and through these moments of consciously breathing you become the bellows of all existence. Your beingness expands the world as you know it and allows you to escape the confines of your linear way of doing and existing.

Do not fear that you will become a being of nothingness and non-achievement. You will simply be a being, existing in the Universe to which you belong, unfettered and unhindered by the restraints of your bossy and somewhat unruly intellect, masquerading as wisdom.

Wisdom is a knowingness that originates in the mind of the heart. Awaken the mind of the heart and allow the little mind to obey its orders.
