See Her Beauty

Loving, supportive and positive friendships are what make the world go round.

Relationships of this kind touch us so deeply and hold an irreplaceable contribution towards having a healthy life.

To open your eyes wide enough to see your friend for who she* truly is, her heart, her essence, her Being is to See Her Beauty.

To see the sparkle in her eye, her dreams, her kindness, her inner smile.

Sometimes we do not look deep enough, either by skimming the surface or staying in the shadows, to see what is eternally true: that royal beauty lies within each of us, so warm and loving – that needs recognition, understanding and nurturing to flourish.

You have choice in this world: you can seek and practice positive friendships based on love and compassion or you can quiet your beating heart.

You can See Her Beauty or you can not see your own.

I know what I choose. I care from my heart and see the many hearts around me. I see the beauty in every friendship I hold. I am thankful for every friend I have, for each inspires me with their individual spark. I hold my hands wide and bare in asking to be a part of their lives, their journeys, their joy.

Friendships are too precious to be understated, overlooked or misused. With every green eye, angry, resentful, complacent or fearful moment you take, you miss out so greatly on beauty so available, so unique.

Stay united with those of the same sex and opposite. There is no threat but any that you choose to create – so do without.

Form friendships of gold based on pure and unobstructed love, treating them as treasure so rare.

Just see how much beauty you can create in your own life and lives of others in an opening of your heart.

* I use ‘she’ only as a personal example. I feel so blessed to have such amazing friendships with so many beautiful women. Please interchange ‘she’ for ‘he’ as appropriate for you. :)

Letting Go

Ahhh to feel truly relaxed, at peace and free. To have this feeling fill you up and flow through you. That is just a wonder.

Letting Go is all about setting yourself free, softening, finding solace, a place of comfort and being released from any discomfort.

It is a brilliant tool to use in bringing more and more happiness to you. As you begin to let go in different areas of your life, you become closer connected with your core, your essence. You relearn how to breathe deeply, see the hearts around you and spend moments of pure happiness with loved ones.

Letting Go is such a valuable skill to nurture. And one to keep close to you on your life’s journey. It is precious. For the process of gradual release allows you to unwind, untie and discard anything in you and your life which is in ravels, knots, piles and perhaps has been for some time, accumulating dust.

As you begin to let go, you can stand back and see before your eyes how the world can change and look so different. This new softer, calmer perspective allows your breath to lengthen, muscles to relax and the stars to brighten above you.

No longer do you need to hold on to any anger bubbling inside you, hate spitting out of you, resentment festering, regret lingering, greed all-consuming, frustration revving. The tightness constricting you can relax, old thoughts can be blown away and peace can set in.

How can you Let Go? When you’re holding on with all your might to a world you know so well and have habituated – How can you refresh the moment, untangling what you no longer need?

How can you find such peace and tranquility, a release from caught-up emotions? How can you see the sunlight again after it’s been hiding for so long behind that cloud?

Not always an easy process. Taking longer for some than others. But totally possible and definitely worth the effort.

For each of us, the ravels, knots and piles vary. The things you want to let go of in your life are different from your partners, friends and family. Letting Go is a personal journey. So you need to think carefully about what it is that you are holding on to that restricts you from being truly free and the best, healthiest version of yourself. What is it that’s wasting your energy, enthusiasm and potential?

Ways of Letting Go: Close any arguments that have been going on for countless time, no matter who’s fault you think it is. Forgive everyone, no matter how much hurt you feel. Lose all blame, taking full responsibility for yourself. Do not victimise yourself, this only wastes time. Know that happiness is an inside job, the answers aren’t ‘out there’. Be grateful for everything you have, little and large. Make friends with your supposed enemies, see them as innocent. Speak with loving words to yourself, harsh words feed the pain. Seek the things that bring you lasting joy, lose the things that weigh you down. Look on the positive side of life, lose negativity. Stop trying to please everyone, it’s not possible or worthwhile. Drop the habits which leave you feeling bad, see them as old.

Forgiveness, Self-Responsibility, Inner Happiness, Gratitude, Friendship, Kindness, Compassion – these are your keys to peace. And unless you unlock the doors, you may never see how different it can be.

Throughout the process of Letting Go stay close to your breath. Breathe in everything that you feel, good or bad. Use your breath to steady yourself, stay in the present moment and slow things down for you to see clearly what’s really happening.

Breathe in. Let Go. Breathe out.

Your True Path

Take a look down at your feet and ask yourself this question: ‘Where have I been treading?’ Trace your steps back to see where you’ve been so far – does your chosen journey fill you with happiness? Some of us are creating an artwork out of our footprints, whilst for others a more sketchy course is underway.

We hear people say ‘I’m on the right path now’ with a glint in the eye and a smile that says ‘I’m proud and satisfied that I’ve got here.’ Suddenly for them, life seems to make great sense – with everything coming together beneath their eyes in a magnificent tapestry. When you feel like this, like something extraordinary is happening, that is because it is! You are awakening to a meaningful life, you are following Your True Path.

Your True Path is what you came here to do, to be. It’s your life’s calling, your purpose, your reason for you! When you’re following Your True Path you simply come alive and see the beauty that is your life. All corners of you meet in the middle and you get to revel in great self-worth and appreciation. Ahh what a glorious time. ‘So why aren’t we all leaping onto our True Path? you ask.

Because you don’t always hear the calling. Your head may be so buried in your hands that you forget to look up and see the sky. Unaware that all the while the sky exists, so bright and clear for those who dare, with both meaning and determination, to put one foot in front of the other.

At certain points along life’s way you may wander off course, cross onto another or take a left turn instead of a right. It’s easy to get lured off sight, distracted from your True Path.

Your path looks a certain way, has it’s own distinct form which distinguishes it from someone else’s. The lines, bends and edging are all unique. No one else’s path looks the same. Not Emily’s, nor Laura’s, nor James’, nor Richard’s. No-one’s.

Sharing precious moments with loved ones is wonderful. To feel such love, comfort and affection. Be sure to take pleasure in dancing and skipping through the blueberry wood! Just be careful to see the way back to Your True Path before dark. Because although everything may taste so sweet, seasons will change, the sweetness will fade and your loved ones will be walking a different step to you.

Let’s tweak the original question: ‘Where will I be treading today?’ What kind of life do you want to orientate? It’s time to stop the aimless wandering, dilly-dallying by the side of the road and start proudly walking Your True Path!

Create a picture for yourself of the kind of path you want to follow, the direction you want to head in, the person you want to be. Start acting more and more in tune with your picture and think carefully about what your next steps will be….
