Be Connected

by Karen Lang, posted in Uncategorized

“The eyes are one of the most powerful tools a woman can have. With one look, she can relay the most intimate message. After the connection is made, words cease to exist. ” – Jennifer Salaiz

This video below is very powerful.  It shows a lady working in an art gallery where she is creatively being ART.  She is sharing a minute of silence with each stranger who sits in front of her.

The older man who comes to sit across from her is a man she used to love many years ago.  They have not seen each other for a long time.  When you are connected and feel the love that they do, no words are needed, their eyes tell a thousand words.

“We cultivate love when we allow our most vulnerable and powerful selves to be deeply seen and known, and when we honor the spiritual connection that grows from that offering with trust, respect, kindness and affection.

Love is not something we give or get; it is something that we nurture and grow, a connection that can only be cultivated between two people when it exists within each one of them – we can only love others as much as we love ourselves.

 

Infinite Possibilities…

“You do not need to know precisely what is happening, or exactly where it is all going. What you need is to recognise the possibilities and challenges offered by the present moment, and to embrace them with courage, faith and hope.”  – Thomas Merton

We all limit the possibilities available to us in life.  What if I told you, there were infinite possibilities for you.  Would you believe me?  If I told you, “You don’t have to live like this… you have choices… there are options… you are infinitely bigger than these circumstances that you are in.”

The power of our beliefs is without limits and yet we limit them everyday with our self belief and self talk.  The power of belief has been scientifically proven, there is no doubt that belief is often stronger than any drug or technology available in regards to changes in the human body.  So if I gave you a pill that would make you feel years younger and would keep you from all sickness and you believed that completely, it would work for you.

Your background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become…..

We can cultivate a mind-set which takes advantage of the power of our beliefs. And we can make a conscious decision to determine which beliefs will have the most positive impact on our lives.   We all know deep down how we think each day, so start to understand how that is impacting your possibilities.

Take up one idea.  Feel that dream, feel what it would be like to live that dream, to receive that dream.  Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success, that is how great spiritual giants are produced.

As you begin to pay attention to your own stories about yourself and what they say about you, you will enter into the exciting process of becoming.  It is a powerful time when you understand this process.  What can’t you be?  What can’t you have?  Ask yourself why you believe you cannot and change it to “I CAN”.

The only limits to the possibilities in your life tomorrow are the buts you use today. – Les Brown

Each second we live is a new and unique moment of the universe, a moment that will never be again, so make each moment count and be open to receive the dreams that you never thought were possible for you.

When you live your life with an appreciation of coincidences and their meanings, you connect with the underlying field of infinite possibilities.
Deepak Chopra

 

 

 

Focus on what you want

by Karen Lang, posted in Uncategorized

“Reality is a projection of your thoughts or the things you habitually think about.”  – Stephen Richards

Do you know what you focus on each day?  Are you focused on the negative or the positive in life? Our thoughts are powerful magnets that attract what we focus on.

So if you continually say…”We never have enough money.”  “I am always sick.” “I will never find the love of my life.”  “No-one ever supports me.” Then we are actually creating and attracting those outcomes as truth for us.

“Happiness is something we reap from the seeds we sow. Plant misery seeds and that is what you reap.”

Change the negative thoughts and self talk to thinking about some goals that really excite you.  Objectives that inspire you so much, that you begin to see how much of an impact you can make, maybe even to the benefit of other people’s life.  When you shift your focus onto a positive vibration, you will begin to see how the world starts to see you differently.

It’s great to have specific goals and timeframes around them but what is more important than goal setting is “Accepting”.  Accepting your life right now for what it is, good or bad.  Being able to wake up in the morning and allowing yourself to see that you are perfect right now and creating your thoughts around “possible” rather than “impossible”.

“You can’t make yourself feel positive, but you can choose how to act, and think and if you choose right, it builds your confidence and changes outcomes.” – Julien Smith

Become aware of your dialogue and thoughts in every situation.  See how you automatically speak “negatively” and correct yourself to make it positive.  These thoughts and attitudes each day are creating the whole picture of your life.

I have found, having good habits and positive practices to be instrumental.  Waking up to Yoga and Meditation each day, sets me on a positive course and a stillness to know I can consistently get more done.  As these patterns establish into a routine, you will find that you will become a better judge of what is right for you and will attract the right people and the right outcomes.

“We can throw stones, complain about them, stumble on them, climb over them, or build with them.”  – William Arthur Ward

You are the creator of your life.  You are so much more powerful that you know.  Tap into this power and take responsibility and action towards creating and manifesting your dreams.  Most importantly, learn to love and accept every stage of your journey.

“I wanted color. I wanted to soar with happiness even if it meant dealing with the weight of fear and guilt, too. I wanted to live.”  – Heather Anastasiu

Your Heart’s Longing

by Karen Lang, posted in Uncategorized

“Work to connect yourself to the allness of life ….instead of identifying with the smallness of it.  You will awaken to a greatness already living within you that is no more bothered by the little things in life than a mountain is made miserable by the rain that falls upon it.”

Do we think small in life?  Do we limit ourselves from greater blessings because we create obstacles that are based on fears that are not real?  How can we break out of the familiar and into changes that will help us grow?

“It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing.” – Oriah

We are told, “To find our truth we must connect to our heart”, but what does that mean?  To discover our truth we must open the heart that we have learnt to close and create barriers around.  Our hearts hold our past hurts and wounds and they stay there until we can forgive them and let them go.  Once healed, we can learn to open our hearts again and see the truth of who we are.

We limit our true potential by the beliefs we have told ourselves throughout our life. Your inner truth may tell you to be a writer, but your family has always told you to be a lawyer.  What does your heart truth tell you?  Speaking your truth means supporting your true feelings with action.  It means having the courage to do what is right for you and trusting the universe will support you in this decision.

“I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me. “

When we block the truth from emerging, we block our energy from flowing and that affects our thoughts and our emotions, which in turn, affects the proper functioning of our physical body.  Often people are sick, simply because they are not allowing their true potential and truth to shine through.

These distorted beliefs and subconscious programs, you have accepted as your truth, will sabotage you from being able to rise above the limitations, control and manipulation of the universe.

“I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine, and still stand on the edge of the lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, “Yes!” – Oriah

It may seem difficult at first to step outside what seems familiar and yet, if the result of being uncomfortable for a short time allows a wonderful freedom in living your truth, isn’t it worth it?

As your energetic blocks are cleared through stillness, healing and meditation, your true- self will emerge. Ultimately, your level of truth will be based on your level of consciousness, so the more you practice, the more you will grow.

“Live your truth.  Express your love.  Share your enthusiasm.  Take actions towards your dreams.  Walk your talk.  Dance and sing to your music.  Embrace your blessings.  Make today worth remembering.” – Steve Maraboli

The bigger picture

by Karen Lang, posted in Uncategorized

“…it’s hard to see the bigger picture when you think you are the great controller of your life.” ~ Donna Farhi

In a busy life, it can be difficult to find the time and space to take a step back and look at the bigger picture of life.

When we are caught up in the chaos of family, work  and commitments of  life, we can sometimes lose sight of our purpose and forget why we are here.

When you know who you are and that includes your mind, body and spirit, you will discover a truth within and you will become completely aware of everything coming to you through your life senses; you will experience a full life.

The mind is so close to your spirit that most people do not realise that they are two separate things. The mind creates the illusion that it is the spirit.

The more you see the truth, the more you will see the life. The more you see life, the more you will see the truth. They build on each other, and your knowledge of them grows until you know life completely and become life.

“We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses.” – Abraham Lincoln

When life seems too stressful to see the bigger picture of truth, or when you feel you may not be able to move through the problems right away and step into the possibilities that are patiently waiting your invitation, you will need to stop and slow your thoughts down, before something else stops you.

It’s not about getting over or rid of what is generating stressful thoughts and feelings, it’s about learning, growing, and expanding through them, and even befriending them.

When you can see past your feelings and problems, you begin to see the wonderful ways the Universe is supporting you.  Slowing down and becoming still regularly on your journey, you will move out of the small picture zone into the big picture zone.

“If you look the right way, you can see that the whole world is a garden.” – Frances Hodgson Burnett

Discover what inspires you.  Discover what makes you want to jump out of bed in the morning.  To see a bigger picture you must change the familiar and step outside of your comfort zone.  You may find that engaging in the very things, people, situations and feelings that are stressful and painful, you will find introspection and insights.

Make time to ask yourself these questions during the busyness of your week, “What have I overlooked or neglected in being caught in the chaos?”  “Have I made time for myself first and then my family?” ” What is the most important thing I need to remember in this moment?”

“The trick to forgetting the big picture is to look at everything close up.” – Chuck Palahniuk

Write down your goals and visions for the future and see where you can make changes to create them.  Seek advice or counselling from others who inspire you and make time to find this amazing truth and higher purpose that lies within you waiting.

“We often need to lose sight of our priorities in order to see them.”  – John Irving
