Love is God

First, apologies for not writing for a while. I was in Kauai teaching and then my computer crashed. Hope all is well in your world.

"There is only one presence and one power in the Universe"

 

 ~ Love ~

 





These times bring challenges for many and although we can assume we know what each day presents for another, we never know truly what is going on. The only thing we have to offer is Love.

Love not in the romantic sense. Human love has attachments and conditions. The more we think we love someone, the more we know them, the more we see their humanness, the more pressures put on the relationships, the more we may judge, criticize or run.

Divine Love is perfect. It is there in and around us all the time if we open to feeling and receiving. It does not come from another person. Divine Love is God and it is perfect. It will watch over us during our darkest nights and rejoice with us in each breath.

 

Unity's Statement of Being

 

There is only one presence and one power in the Universe and in my life,

God, who is perfect life, perfect intelligence, perfect love and perfect substance.

I am an individualized expression of God.

 

 

 

I AM LOVE

 

Happy Thanksgiving to all

I am grate FULL for all the love that is in my life. All the love I can aspire to be. All the love you send. All the love that is me. I am open to receiving and being more Love!

Own your Glory!

Take ownership!

We have all been born with inherent gifts to share in our lives.  We may know what they are and choose not to use them. We may not be aware of them and search for them in our life. We might actually take ownership at a very early age only to shut them down and if you are one of the lucky ones you took the easier path to own them, use them and share them right from the beginning of your life!

Can you feel it?

Do you know or feel what your gifts are? Do you know how amazing you are? Do you honor it and share it?

You are Great!

You are a vessel of all the goodness and of love of creation.

You are a channel of this positive energy.

You can let it flow anytime, anywhere if you choose!

What do you put out into the world?

Do you demonstrate your awesomeness to the world?

I invite you to look in the mirror each morning and see your greatness!
See the Glory within you and allow it to emanate!

We can make it hard, we can make it easy and We Can Make It!
Own your Glory today!

You were not created to be small. You were created to manifest the miracles of creation in all it's goodness, grace and glory and light! Your soul is rooting for YOU!

Gloria Coppola, LMT, educator, author, inspirational workshop leader, continuing education provider and proud grandmother loves to share her passion. Her healing journey has demonstrated YOU CAN DO IT if you choose to listen. Her spiritual path continues to unfold to support, encourage and inspire while she continues to own her own Glory and Light.

Intuition

We all have intuition!

What is intuition?

Merriman -Webster describes it as follows:

A natural ability or power that makes it possible to know something without any proof or evidence

A feeling that guides a person to act a certain way without fully understanding why

Something that is known or understood without proof or evidence

Do you trust your intuition?

I invite you to pay attention to the coincidences in your life

The feelings that don't seem to make sense

The gut feeling, a reaction to certain things that people tell you

A message that comes from 'somewhere' without doubting it is for you to hear

The billboard sign that speaks to you

The song that is playing that comes with a message 

A dream that feels real

A stranger that has a message for you out of nowhere

Notice the 'similarities' appearing in your life

When I teach, I encourage my students to listen with their hands and their heart. I no longer provide a strict 'protocol' for them to follow. I have learned that drilling a step by step way of doing things does not allow one to honor their feelings.  I notice they have a hesitation to intuit and be guided to the place(s) we need to go whether it be on a body for massage or in our life. 

I have seen some doubt their own wisdom, waiting for approval, hoping they can remember what was told to them....not listening to their own inner guidance for fear of being wrong.

I witness the hesitation one might have,hoping for direction and guidance. They may not sure where to navigate because they may be used to being told what they should do, as a pattern in life. I honor the spaces they move through with gentle support and little nudges to "TRUST" your guidance.

I encourage to feel the movement of life, the body, the breath. To feel on new levels and pay attention. To observe. To play witness to what is happening.

Trusting

We may have lost the sense to trust ourselves and others in life

Take the opportunity today to open to trusting yourself!

Listen and observe

Navigate new spaces

Take a deep breath 

Let your higher wisdom guide you

Intuition is a gift from our creator to navigate our life

It is a tool that helps us know when and where to go

It is a knowing that cannot be explained, however it can shift us to new heights

~ When we listen~

Listening to the intuition and trusting might lead you to a new place in your life

You may open to a creative side of yourself

You may find what you have been seeking 

You will gain a new sense of freedom

Guidance will be there for you in every way 

Honor this higher wisdom

It is your birthright!

Let your intuition be your guide ~

When in doubt ~ reach out

 for the encouragement you need

To Trust!

May I walk.....in Grace

GRACE

I wake each morning with Gratitude as I look at the soft white clouds that GRACE 

the vibrant blue skies.

I give thanks for each breath I take as I walk with my dog in GRACE each morning. I am alive!

Today, I observe the GRACE of the Sand Crane. Side by side they beautifully stroll along the grass.

Proud they stand, deliberately they step .... they walk in Grace.

The sounds  from people rushing to work, do not disturb their peace.

The birds are chirping in the skies 

Watching us ~ choosing how we live each day

Each day is a blessed gift

A sweet squirrel stops~ his tail wiggles

My dog stops ~ his tail wiggles

Slowly ~ they walk to meet each others eyes

Communicating ~ quietly

Swiftly the squirrel runs away, turning back to look

Wanting to play ~ curious

I observe ~

I notice a man walk by with his head down

A woman stops to pet my dog, complaining about her teenage daughter and ex husband

Cars rush by to go to work

I observe~ I walk in Grace

I wake in Joy

I smell the flowers 

I notice the little white flowers peeping out of the bushes, saying good morning

I am grateful for all that I see 

I am grateful for all that I am

I have a heart full of gratitude

Poster by Carrie Thompson

May I walk in grace and beauty, proudly and softly respecting all that exists

How will you walk in GRACE Today?

Believing in yourself

Designed by Candy Thomen

You were created to be an inspirational beam of light and share your purpose on this planet.

You were given the gifts to tap into your resources so that you can navigate easily the journey that was meant to be yours.

You are a child of light, filled with love and kindness.

Do you believe this?

Believing in oneself can sometimes be a challenge. We might doubt what we feel, because we were told at some point we didn't matter in some way. Our thoughts or ideas may have been discounted or ignored. Confidence is lost.

I invite you to regain your confidence, your intuition, your gifts! 

Today allow yourself to fly!

Release your fears!

Step into your fullness!

Living in Gratitude

Gently I enter this wakening stage each morning, opening my eyes and giving thanks. I am appreciative of all that I am and all that life has given to me today. I am grateful to have another chance to live my soul's purpose.

I look into the sky and give thanks for another beautiful day. I breathe in the air and appreciate that it keeps me alive. I sense the smells of the flowers along the manicured lawns and feel blessed to see these vivid and beautiful displays of God's artwork.

There are so many things in life that we can complain about especially when we feel like we have less than we need or want. There are many moments our thoughts can slip into the abyss of sorrow, anger or depression when we miss all that this garden here on earth is providing us for our growth and sustainability.

I reach out to life, and life reaches out to me!

Yesterday, I heard a child say "Why should I pray for the bad people in Syria that are killing people?" She had tears in her eyes questioning why people can be so mean and hurtful. Several other children in the group shouted out phrases that were surely heard from the adults in their life, angrily saying "this has nothing to do with us".

My heart went sad for a while feeling their frustration and listening to beliefs that are being passed onto them that send a message "I am not responsible".

When I reflect upon the attitudes that one may have in their own life, living their own internal war and expressing their own hatred towards another person or country; I am reminded of a conversation with a priest when I was 12.

I, too, questioned why do people do bad things? I was guided through a conversation that was to change my life in this short hour of divine intervention. In summary, I was told "We do not know and see all the reasons for every action on this earthly plane. We do not know the reason it has come into our life and how we will react or see the blessings".  I thought "how can there be blessings in the bad things people do"? This priest put me on a journey in life to learn and study philosophies and religions. As a result my life has seen and experienced the wealthy and the very poor. I have watched how people can take someone's life and literally destroy it by words and rumors they spread that have put someone behind bars in prison or pushed them to the brink of suicide. So, how do you feel grateful for this? How can one see the blessings in this cruelty?  

Later in life I was to have a client who came for tempor-mandibular joint issues and was literally in my hands for her care. Little did I know at the time, she was being 'accused' of murdering her child. When I was informed by a co-worker that I was working on a murderess for a 'moment' there were mixed emotions. Quickly I took a breath and asked "Who made you judge"? I opted to see this woman and continue to care for her. Eventually, she told me her story. There is no doubt in any cell of my body that she did not intentionally murder her child. 

 Seven months later she was convicted based on 'circumstantial evidence' of what someone heard over a fence. She came for her final session with me before going off to prison.  A miracle was about to take place in my massage room.  She thanked me. She thanked me for creating safety, providing loving touch, extending an ear and heart. She thanked me for the books in my waiting room about angels and gave gratitude for so many little things. Then, I thanked her. I will never forget her face and words "Why would you thank me"? "Because you taught me about unconditional love". She replied "You mean something good came of this for both of us"? In this moment, I was taken back to the conversation when I was 12. This woman expressed to me she will be able to go to prison in peace and teach other women what she had learned.  Ahhh, yes we never know why anyone or anything comes in our lives. We only know we have the 'choice' to how we respond. This is our responsibility.

Well, it's not always easy is it?  We speak of the term "unconditional love", yet do we truly understand the fullest spectrum of what is being asked of us? Can we live it in every situation without judging and giving gratitude for the kindness our hearts can extend to another who is less fortunate in any way?

Look in the mirror!

Giving Gratitude is not just for the simple pleasures of life, the presents we receive on our birthdays, the good health we have or the money in our bank accounts.

I am appreciative and thankful for every experience I have had in my life. I am grateful that I can see and shift through the periods that do not serve me or this world. For if every thought has the power to project a consciousness to this entire planet and universe then we are responsible as a whole. If we live in pure thoughts without anger and hatred towards others, without greed and fear, we as a whole can create an entire sphere of Living and Giving Gratitude.

The darkest hours, the longest days, the pits we can fall into when life deals us a challenging hand, are some of the hardest moments we might be asked to give gratitude.  I personally have experienced my hard knocks in life, done things I wish I had not, been hurt by others, hurt others and lived with physical pain and depression. I have heard others say their toughest challenge was the most rewarding experience of their life and they give gratitude. I agree.

How will you live in gratitude today?

"I work with others in harmony and cooperation"

"My internal environment is Divine Love"

"The gentle presence of Spirit guides and directs me"

"Centered in Spirit, I live in harmony and balance with all creation"

Feel free to use some of these affirmations (borrowed from the Daily Word) 

or create your own to keep you focused on 

living in peace and gratitude.

 Giving gratitude is in every breath when we choose this conscious thought!

Living Gratitude is a way of life that will allow us to see the divine in all people, things and situation...one person at a time.

Being Gratitude can create a world,  a universe for the future children to live in peace.

Namaste,

~Gloria~

Shifting Consciousness Messages

What blocks you from the creation and manifestation of living gratitude in your life?

How can you move through the challenges that prevent you from living your fullest potential?

 

FEAR

Are you afraid?

Of what?

Fear of being a failure

Fear that someone may not like you or accept you

Fear that you will be exposed

Fear that things can backfire

Fear that you will never believe in yourself

~~~~~~~~~~

My guess is most of us have had some fear in our life, perhaps even as a child, that the boogie man might get us.

How did fear become part of your reality?

Were you yelled at for speaking your truth?

Were you made to feel stupid?

Have you been bullied in your life?

Did you witness bad things happen around you?

Were you told to Fear God?

F.E.A.R.

False Evidence Appearing Real

In many cases (not all) this is the reality

Now if you are being threatened with your life or your families, well obviously there is something to  fear. It isn't false when a gun might be at your head.

However, do you fear someone else because you feel that if you said something they might yell at you? Are you afraid to speak your truth because you don't want to look like an idiot for falling for something that perhaps was a manipulation to get you involved?

If you challenge someone else's truth do you fear they might attack you verbally?

Do you back down and away for fear of confrontation?

Is it really fear that you are feeling? Might it be a 'feeling' of inadequacy, hesitation, discernment?

Today let's look at reality! What is Real?

Are the situations in your life or around you a perspective of what you think/feel is real?

Are you being manipulated into believing it is real?

Do you think for yourself and decipher and discern information before taking it at the word of another person or the news? Do you believe everything you read?

A society is being built around fear. Fear of getting on a plane for it might be hijacked.

Fear of getting 'involved' with a cause because you don't want to stand out.

Fear of taking action about our food supply because you chose to live in a state of 'ignorance', in a sense, because you can't face the reality that leadership can let any of this really happen.

The reality is we all play a part in everything.

We choose a part for whatever purpose or reason.

What is your reality?

I send you peace today that you may live in truth and not fear.
