Connections

So what do you want?

“You are not one you are a Thousand. Just Light your Lantern.” — Rumi

I’ll start by saying these are just my thoughts and like all things, my thoughts may change. What my opinion is today may be gone by tomorrow. I am learning every day.

So what do we really want? Set aside material things and try to make three wishes. It is hard to not want at least some physical things like money, home, and health. The bottom line is we come to the desire to simply be happy.

When we examine what will make us happy, we want ourselves, other people, and the past to change and the future to succumb to our will, yet we know we can only change ourselves.

So how do we deal with things that make us unhappy that we have no control over? The truth is that we can. Happy or unhappy are emotions, a state of mind. We may meditate and find the inner vibe of peace and harmony only to go out into the world and get the mood shattered. Sometimes we anticipate the buzzkills but we let them destroy our mood anyway.

We can prepare ourselves to meet the day through our knowledge of crystals. Taking Rose Quartz to keep love in our heart or Black Tourmaline to absorb negative energies are simple tools but we do need to take an honest view of ourselves to strengthen our weak points. Jasper is a powerful aid to keeping us grounded an keeping the true context of any situation.

Remember these are tools to help our inner vibes, don’t expect the crystals to do all the work. Keeping in tune with ourselves is simple through meditation and prayer but it is important to make it a regular part of your day.

The ancients used their rituals for a reason and so can we. Crystal grids, Aura work, Chakra cleansing, meditation, and prayer all enable us to meet those times when we need the extra push. The power in you is only limited by your willingness to join with the energy that surrounds you every day of your life and the power that surrounds you is unlimited.

As you open your eyes and start to connect with the Universe you may notice subtle changes in your daily life, some good, some challenging. Universal Energy is part of you and you are a part of it. It will align itself with you if you let it and nurture you on your path. New places and people will come into your life, some to learn from you and some to teach you, embrace it.

The ultimate source of the life energy will also present itself to you, whether you call it Divine, Higher Power, or Cosmic Energy, you know your name for the One. You will re-establish your connection to the Divine without scriptures or rules. Connected you will know your purpose and where you are needed and work with the Universe to make it so.

Those who are on this journey often start out feeling disconnected with humanity, lost, and rudderless. The doors are opening and you will leave your fears and doubts behind as you begin new episodes in the story of your life.

The more we connect with the universal energy, the greater our connection becomes, and with it our happiness.
