Thursday another glorious day!

June 27, 2013

How is your day? I hope it is super fantastic. In Canada,we are heading into our Canada Day long week-end, lots of festivities planned for visitors coming to the capital. Heard on the news that astronaut Chris Hatfield will be here performing on the sound stage on Parliament Hill. He will also have a display of all the Twitter pictures he took while in space. I would imagine that our city will be buzzing all week-end with activities. Yesterday we saw people going to the Jazz festival site near City Hall. So many possibilities, so many options. Do you have plans?

Every day is a special day when we start the day with a smile and a positive attitude.

PL Principles #12 I will get up pleasantly in the morning.

When we ask someone for help, we do so with sincerity, both in words and actions. In the same manner, when we pray, it is important to offer our utmost sincerity to God/Tao/Buddha. In PL, when we pray to Got, we use a unique prayer form. this can be done either performed sitting or standing. the PL Prayer form allows you to attain the most ideal state of mind when praying.

Taking the time to perform this simple ritual for me has enhanced my time in prayer/meditation. It is very personal, it helps me to really slow down and focus “center”.

On Sunday’s we will often take time before the service to do some exercise together. This gives the body the opportunity to stretch and release any stiffness in the joints, to activate and extend. Then when the service begins, and we sit down, our body is content to mellow, and our minds are free to absorb and truly focus on the spiritual and divine of the service.

The sanctuary is filled with positive and activated energy. Ah just thinking of it, I am looking forward to Sunday service…From sharing with you, I now have a big broad smile on my “puss” and I extend a warm and fuzzy happy happy day to all of you.

LOL I feel a bit like the little avatar I can be, skipping happily down a flowered pathway, sprinkling bubbles of happiness and sunshine into the air wanting to bestow on every one around a super fantastic glorious day. Blessings everyone!

Beautiful Words Make for a Beautiful Soul.

June 26, 2013

PL teaching for day 27 >

Let’s choose to use words that are kind, polite and courteous. Kind words will bring about a kind heart. Beautiful Words Make for a Beautiful Soul.

Often when I look around, I see people engrossed in their electronic gadgets, intent on receiving or sending a message. I saw one woman pushing a stroller with one hand while holding the phone to her ear. In the dress shop, another lady was talking away while she pulled out one garment after another to inspect. A young man was hurrying through the mall, coffee in one hand and his iPhone in the other. I wondered how he could text with the one hand, and still maneuver through the crowd and not bump into something.

If we are constantly tied to a phone, when do we allow the mind/brain to chill? If taking a walk through the park, we are distracted having an electronic conversation, do we see the flowers? smell the fresh cut grass and lush vegetation? hear the call and singing of the birds? A friend told me that the way her family communicates with each other is via text. Does that mean that we no longer enjoy personal contacts/visits. Is tea time a thing of the past? If I’m the person on the other end of the line, are you really connecting with me, or are you shopping? Just wondering………

Relaxation is total peace.

When you relax completely, there is total silence.

This overwhelming sense of tranquility is really what meditation is about. (mindfulness)

Neutral stillness of the mind, renews the tired soul, (regeneration)

It is Wednesday – Happy day everyone!

This song has been playing over and over in my head, even though I now have the CD, I at this time have not been able to figure out how to insert the actual song into this blog. I will persevere. The song is sung in Portuguese in the church, I have given you here the English translation. Com Quem Contar (Ana Maria Miranda Coelho Rios) in English…… Who to Trust The melody is happy and upbeat Always has me smiling!

I was unhappy

Not knowing what to live for,

I knew not how to smile.

Life just wasn’t worthwhile

Not knowing what I could do

Not knowing who to trust.

I sought. I sought …………At last I found …………. (.Oshieoya-sama, Oshieoya-sama (Andei, andei ….E encontrie ….Oshieoya-sama, Oshieoya-sama ) Chorus 2X

Now I know

Realizing what life is for

I always live with a smile

Life is no longer a trial

I now know who to trust

Oshieoya-sama.

I sought, I sought…………….At last I found ………….Oshieoya-sama, Oshieoya-sama (repeated 2x)

From the Church of Perfect Liberty Song Book

Let’s First Accept and Appreciate Things as They Are

June 24, 2013

PL teaching day 25 > Let’s First Accept and Appreciate things as They Are. Even when dealing with someone you don’t like or when you are facing an uncomfortable situation, take a moment to first accept whatever comes your way. There is always something that you can learn from these situations. Let’s First Accept and Appreciate Things as They Are.

There is a pure essence of innocence in all of us. When we were children our actions were not to achieve for some ulterior motive, we simply acted on our intuition. Today looking in a mirror and seeing myself in an outfit that hugged my figure, I realized that I had to be more accepting of my outline, and appreciate my healthy body. Looking in the mirror, reminded me of a story recently published in the Portuguese newsletter (Jornal Perfeita Liberdade) from Brazil, (Feb.2013 issue) no matter how many times I feel a lesson has been learned, looking in a mirror, brings home a very NOW reality. Even as a child, I found reason to complain about how I looked. Self perception is a lesson that I will likely be working on for many moons to come.

PL teaches that when we are puzzled or at a standstill in regards to a particular issue, a spontaneous method (listening to our intuition) could lead to a highly creative and original solution (new way of seeing something) Act without guile and do not attack the problem directly, Let’s First Accept and Appreciate Things as They Are.

Look for Ways to Make Others as Well as Yourself Happy

June 23, 2013

PL teaching day 24 > Look for Ways to make Others as Well as Yourself Happy > It isn’t enough to do things just to make yourself happy. Let’s always think of outcomes that make not only you, but others around you happy as well. <> Look for Ways to Make Others as Well as Yourself Happy.

Personally I have found that when I am happy, truly happy, I find the world and all around me to be very balanced and my encounters with others amicable. I have learned over the years that the only changes I can make, are to myself and my own actions. When I am at peace, my energy cultivates a more serene environment.

Perfect Liberty teaches that we are all born with our one of a kind personality and Makoto (individuality and a unique character) When you are able to express yourself to the fullest from moment to moment, believing in God, without losing sight of your God given individuality (Makoto) you will be able to experience the true joy of living. When we can express ourselves fully, we are happy.

It is our mission to attain “Great World Peace”, to build a world of love and respect for all. Oneness.

The Flash of Inspiration Is a Gift From GodI

PL Teaching for Day 22 >The Flash of Inspiration Is a Gift From God < When something suddenly clicks or when a great idea suddenly pops into your head, it is actually not something you have control over. Understand that this is wisdom given to you by God. The Flash of Inspiration is a Gift From God.

As an artist/writer, I can’t tell you how often I have wanted to paint, sculpt or write something, get myself all set up and then “puff” like a cloud of smoke what I thought I was going to do evaporates. If I try to make it work, the results are simply not to my liking, yes I may have an end product, but it does not “speak” to me. My first thought it that it should go into the waste bin. For sure I am not prepared to show it around, or do a drum roll. So I put it down and it disappears from my immediate thoughts. If I’m in a persistent mood, I may start over, something inside of me wants to be expressed. The desire is strong, and I feel the frustration well up inside me, I know I have something to “say”…. but every time I try something I am dissatisfied with the results. Sound familiar?

When I “Let go and Let God” allow myself to take a step back, and just allow my hands to work the clay, or if painting the colors and forms to take shape, an inner peace begins to happen, and I find myself humming, carried away by the moment. I’m focused, I’m in a happy place. I’ve learned to listen to the little voice inside of me that says, “OK, that’s enough” I stop.. step back and with eyes of wonder I discover an “expression” Sometimes I simply have no idea how I got the results that I did. Ask me to do another one, I couldn’t. My “expressions” became a form of meditation for me. It didn’t matter to me what anyone else thought about the results, I was happy! INSPIRATION IS A GIFT I really and truly believe that God is within and part of who we are. God is the tie that binds us all together. We are ONE.

A member of the church send me links to some awesome figurative art, I share them with you and hope you enjoy them as much as I did.

May your day be blessed 100 fold. =^_^=

Discover the Many Things for Which to Be Thankful

June 21, 2013

PL teaching for day 21 > Look at the people around you, the things provided to you by Mother Nature, and all of the little things that bring you joy. If you search carefully for them, you will find how much you have to be thankful for. > Discover the Many Things for Which to be Thankful <

Count your blessings. Oh what a joy felt thought. I close my eyes and think of so many things that have touched me over the years, and all the friends who have at one time or another touched my “heart”. My heart is a treasure chest of good memories. Yes for sure I have known sadness, tears and heartbreak. BUT the LOVE, happiness and highs that gave me immense and intense pleasures outshine the sadness.

To know the shattering of heart, the loss of love, one must first let go and allow love and joy in. The only constant in life is CHANGE, and with change comes new life, new adventures, new tomorrows. Always live in the moment, enjoy today, now is what counts.

Our blessings are memories of yesterday, the wonders of today, =^_^=, tomorrow will be another today =^_^=

I’m going to try a share a memory with you now. A rediscovery of a singer who touched my world at one time.. He will be coming to the Jazz Festival this month, it was such a WOW moment to hear this song again. Blessings all – Have super happy positive day where ever you are!
