Tis the Season for Miracles & Light!

The miracle of a container of oil that should have only lasted one day and burned for eight. A bright star lit the way for three wise men to witness a miracle birth. The miracle that the sun will shine & days become longer after the darkness of winter are some of the celebrations that go back thousands of years to mark the month of December.

No matter which holiday you celebrate, the common thread is MIRACLES & LIGHT! A miracle occurred and we honor those miracles by lighting a menorah, placing twinkling lights on a Christmas tree and to this day there are still winter solstice celebrations with bon fires. We may not think about each and every miracle as we illuminate our celebrations, but we look towards the light with hope and faith.

The ”spirit of the season” is in the very air that surrounds us! This truly is a time to celebrate spirit. When you allow your own light to shine it is a miracle. YOU are a miracle to celebrate! It is the spark of spirit that lies within you that when allowed to shine in all its glory illuminates your path with clarity.

Even a tiny spark can grow into a bright beautiful flame. Where there is light there can be NO darkness for darkness simply CANNOT exist in the presence of light. Honor yourself and your spirit within! Embrace all that you are and all you are becoming. Celebrate the miracle of your own birth. Find your passion and follow your hearts desire. YOU TRULY ARE A MIRACLE TO BEHOLD!

Now, in the spirit of the season, I would like to honor YOU and the miracle that you are! I want to thank you for touching my life and inspiring me to continue my work. I’m grateful and feel blessed to have so many angels that walk the earth in my life.

Our connection whether it be in the physical or in spirit is greatly appreciated and brings light to my life as I hope I’m able to do for you. I would like to share with you something I received from one of my earth angels. Odo Tinteri is an Italian artist and wrote the words below. Although I am not the author of these beautiful wishes, they are my wishes for you as well. I have copied his message and not made any changes to the English translation:

“I wish you Health, which is the most precious thing. I wish you a smile with open arms to receive friendship, like the most beautiful flower, needs to be watered with the basin of the hands. I wish that the sun always enters your home window to illuminate your kind thoughts and that the wind brings away your fears and anxiety.

I wish that love embraces your soul in a continuing dance, remembering that love needs big eyes and careful ears….or else it disappears with the light of the day. I wish you the world and the will to look at it in the face with great pleasure…”

May you ignite your spark to create a flame that shines brightly upon the world! May you find an infinite abundance of peace within. May you access your passion and love so when illuminated, passion and love will find you!

Wishing you a glorious and miraculous holiday season filled with divine light, peace, love and many blessings! With much Love~Shine Your Light Debbie

Body Image: What Energy do you SEE?

“Mirror, mirror on the wall who’s the fairest of them all?” What do you see when you look in the mirror? Did you know that what is reflected back is not always what is truly and uniquely you? How’s your body image these days? Do you love or even like your body?

Everything is energy…

…including your body! When you look into the mirror do you see yourself looking back or are there times when the reflection you see doesn’t quite look like you? Are you always trying to fix or change something? Do you hate your body altogether? Do you think you are unattractive? Do you consider each wrinkle a ‘laugh or wisdom line’ or do you see it as merely getting old?

Enhancing or changing your body is fine but your outer body and the things you dislike many times are a reflection of what’s going on INside and it could very well be that there is a lot of energy you are carrying around which is not yours! It may not be that you hate your body but that you hate the energy you see when you look at yourself. This is an important distinction from wanting to get healthy and lose weight for example. If you don’t like the extra weight, take a few moments to reflect on those things you carry around with you or the pain you are trying to cover up. If you are thin yet see yourself as heavy reflect on what it is you are still trying to purge from your body.

Change what’s INside first…

There’s nothing wrong with body enhancements but unless you change what’s going on INside nothing you do (whether it be losing or gaining weight, plastic surgery etc) will change how you see and feel about yourself. What is it you don’t want to see? Is it a painful childhood? Are you in pain and/or resisting an illness? Is there energy that stems from constant invalidation? And for the million dollar question….HOW MUCH OF WHAT YOU SEE IS ACTUALLY YOURS? Refelctions of any kind are distorted! Have you ever gone to an amusement park and looked at yourself in one of those funny mirrors?

There is more to you than meets the eye!

Your spirit is beautiful! No matter what your physical body looks like, finding and bringing more of you INside will indeed be reflected on the outside. Your body is not just made up of molecules and particles. Your spiritual energy animates and breathes passion and purpose into your life. If you are comparing yourself to what is considered ‘beautiful’ by some and you don’t feel like you fit that image, you are actually getting stuck on someone else’s (or society’s) picture of beauty!

BEAUTY IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER!

How you see yourself from your minds eye is reflected on the outside. Behold the beauty of yourself! The more of YOU and your beautiful spirit you allow yourself to see and bring INside the more you show it to others. When you look in the mirror if the outside doesn’t quite match the inside, go ahead and do what you’d like to change your physical body; But by all means be sure to clear out foreign energies and other people’s pictures or concepts of beauty. See yourself as I see you…a beautiful spirit in a human body!~Shine Your Light Debbie

Choose LOVE; It only takes a moment…

“There is no Love greater than Love with no object. For then you, yourself, have become love itself.”~Rumi

The holidays are upon us and it is a sure bet that you are busy. You get wrapped up in your life much like gifts which are wrapped to go under a tree. The hustle and bustle of the holidays is also one of the most stressful times of the year. The thing about a wrapped present is that you can’t see what’s inside until you unwrap it. What looks pretty on the outside could very well be hurting on the inside or the really ugly, poorly wrapped present could very well be beautiful on the inside.

During this season keep in mind that many are hurting. They might lash out, be rude or even ignore you but it’s not because of you. They are wrapped up and maybe even trying to cover up their own pain. Whether it is emotional or physical, you might not be able to see it with your eyes so it is difficult to understand why someone acts or responds in a way you don’t think is proper. While in your own busy world this year why not share the spirit of the holidays by taking a moment to respond with love?!

Whether white, black, red, yellow, tall or short, gay, straight, bi, Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Buddhist (or another religion), married, single, spiritual or not, Democrat, Republican or Independent whatever your beliefs or convictions are there are things which are true for all of us; We are all human beings and we all bleed red. We all have feelings and experience challenges and pain in our lives. Put aside your judgements or better yet, clear the energy of judgement altogether and spread a little joy and peace in the world!

It only takes a moment…

It only takes a moment of your valuable time to pick up the phone and call a friend or family member you haven’t seen or spoken to in a while. It only takes a moment of your time to smile at the homeless person you pass on the street. It only takes a moment to respond with love instead of hate. It only takes a moment to share a smile and say hello to connect with spirit. If someone has in your eyes ‘wronged’ you, it only takes a moment to forgive.

It only takes a moment to respond with love and compassion instead of resistance and anger. The choices you make, words you use and energy you put out at any given moment leave a lasting impression whether you realize it or not. You never really know another’s journey or what they are going through. How you respond can change someones day for the better and it only takes a moment to do it!

Peace on earth, goodwill toward humans is not just a holiday saying. Choosing to “become love itself” only takes a moment. Choosing to acknowledge another human spirit brings heaven to earth. Connect with your own spirit and decide what energy you’d like to generate in this world. It only takes a moment to shine your light which in turn allows others to do the same. This holiday season make moments which take your breath away. Choose love…it only takes a moment. ~Shine Your Light Debbie

The Tao of NO!

Are you a people pleaser? Are you always in giving and healing others mode? Are you inclined to say YES every time someone asks you for a favor or to do something for them? Do you take time for yourself or are you always responding to other people’s needs and wants? Do you give away your valuable time and services because you can’t say NO? If so, you are a healer and it might be time to explore the Tao of NO!

A friend recently told me he was in a “receptive NO mode” and frankly I completely understand what he is saying. For the most part I do believe most of us are givers. We take on and solve problems for our friends, family, bosses, clients and customers. No one likes conflict and so in the essence of keeping the peace and helping we try to make everyone happy.

In business there are times we give away our services to those perhaps less fortunate and on a personal level it feels pretty good to help or give advice to a friend. We do this out of love and/or because we strive to be responsible for our own actions and enjoy giving. There is nothing wrong with doing any of those things BUT if you lose yourself in the process, there is nothing loving, giving or valiant about it!

In fact when you give or give away your most valuable resource (ie your energy) because you can’t say NO you are training people to continue asking for more. In essence you allow them to become senior (more important) in your space and eventually whatever has become senior will take its toll. It might be that your work life is thriving but your relationships suffer. It could be that your caring for others affects your health and well-being or leaves you with little time for yourself. It is possible that you are struggling financially yet someone else needs your product or services and can’t afford to pay you so you give it away to help them out.

The Tao is the flow of the universe

It is the “pattern behind the natural world that keeps the universe balanced and ordered.” (via Wikipedia) Always saying YES is an ‘absolute’ which creates an imbalance and takes you out of your flow. Keep in mind this is about YOU taking care of YOU and your needs. It’s about re-establishing balance and creating boundaries by connecting with your inner NO!

It IS ok to say no!

Do you give yourself permission to say no? I promise your life will not spontaneously combust if you say it every now and again. What I loved about my friends comment about being in a receptive NO mode is that he is taking back his seniority and no longer allowing others to TAKE his time and energy. He is receptive to what is asked of him yet at the same time he is realizing how important it is to take care of himself by occasionally saying no. He is choosing to give instead of always being at the ‘beck and call’ of others.

Check in with yourself and evaluate who or what has become senior to you. You have a right to take time for and care for yourself. You have a right to make a living but be sure to include having a life. Givers and healers you have a right to create boundaries. This is what balance is all about and sometimes saying NO frees up your time and energy so you can be in your flow and say YES to YOU and the things that are important to you!~Shine Your Light Debbie

The Attitude of Gratitude Changes Everything!

In honor of the upcoming Thanksgiving Holiday in the USA it is time to explore and tune into the energy of gratitude and giving thanks. Having gratitude for what you have and all that you are is a powerful energy that will change everything in your life!

When was the last time you took a moment to look around you and appreciate, I mean REALLY appreciate all that you have? How about yourself? When was the last time you sat quietly to appreciate and give thanks to your body for all it does for you? Been a while? If so, it’s time to CULTIVATE your GRATITUDE!

Gratitude and giving thanks allows you to have more in your life by healing what you wish to heal therefore creating a space for more! It takes your attention out of the past or future and into the present which is where all creating takes place. It sends a message into the universe that you are grateful for what you have NOW.

Think of it this way, if you brought a gift to someone and they didn’t say thank you then you brought another and they tossed it aside with no acknowledgement, do you think you would continue to give them gifts? You are receiving miracles and gifts on a daily basis. Having gratitude for these gifts sends a vibration into the universe.

As an energy vibration gratitude can heal a broken heart, clear communication & stuck energy, bring awareness to the abundance you already have in your life and is naturally steeped in forgiveness.

Gratitude and giving thanks is not mutually exclusive to the positive things in your life. It also means finding gratitude and GOODNESS in difficult times, or for a person who has hurt or invalidated you.

It may not be easy to find gratitude for, let’s just say, someone who broke your heart but give thanks and be grateful for the beautiful moments they brought you. You wouldn’t have had the experience if they hadn’t come into your life! There is a lesson you learned and more often than not, you discovered how strong and capable you really are!

How do you begin changing and shifting your attitude to gratitude? Very simply, begin by writing down the things you are grateful for! Include gratitude for the lessons you have learned and for those who brought you those lessons. Include gratitude for all that you are and the abundance that already surrounds you! Notice how your mood changes the more you write!

To cultivate your gratitude, keep a gratitude journal for 30 days. Each day write at least 5 things you are grateful for. Be sure to include those things or people you are having a challenge with. There is always something to appreciate and be grateful for when you look for it!

Creating change is a process and initially change is invisible because it happens on a vibrational level. That said, these changes ARE affecting your life. At first you will notice subtle changes, then as you continue the process, the changes you see and feel are more profound! You hold in your hands the power to cultivate the ATTITUDE of GRATITUDE! Take time each day to appreciate your loved ones, your body & spirit, ALL you are and ALL you have!

In the spirit of Thanksgiving I want to extend my deepest gratitude and appreciation to each one of you. You touch my life with your light and inspire me to continue doing my work in this world. BOUNTIFUL BLESSINGS TO YOU AND YOURS!~Shine Your Light Debbie

Unleash Your Creativity!

Within each of us there is an inner artist who has access to an abundance of creativity just waiting to be unleashed! Your inner artist has the ability to create beautiful thoughts, stunning vibrations and is the catalyst for creating a rich, abundant life!

“Artist is a descriptive term applied to a person who engages in an activity deemed to be an art. An artist also may be defined unofficially as “a person who expresses him- or herself through a medium”~ via Wikipedia

Your medium is your life and you express yourself through your words, thoughts, deeds and vibrations. Creating your life IS an art form and because you are a unique individual, no one else does it exactly the same way you do. When was the last time you consciously created something with reckless abandon? Is your creativity limited by fear, invalidation or someone else’s opinion whether it be real or perceived? Do you feel blocked from creating in certain areas of your life?

Unleashing your creativity means clearing the limits placed on you by well-meaning family, friends or society at large. It means allowing your inner artist to take a risk and burst forth with joy and enthusiasm. It also means getting in touch with who you are and what you are passionate about. Your passion fuels your creativity. If you don’t like what you are doing or the situation you are in take a step back and ask yourself are you passionate about it.

Your creativity goes well beyond painting a painting, writing a paper or building a building. Creativity is a vibration and infinitely abundant within you. There is nothing you cannot create when your creativity is flowing. Your creativity is a part of your energy. When your energy is flowing freely it feels good, things are usually going well and you make things happen like magic!

If your creativity feels blocked or you just can’t seem to bring that thought of something you’d like to create to the forefront. This is because there is another energy (usually not yours), a thought , opinion or programming that what you want or do isn’t important. If you don’t take time to allow your creativity to flow you diminish your own importance and certainty. In essence you dull your light.

When your creativity is unleashed your light is shining brightly, you are happy, enthusiastic and you really are stunning to look at and be around. There is a spring in your step, a sparkle in your eye and the brightness is attractive and is seen by others. To re-start and unleash your creativity begin by coming back to you. For a few precious moments, make yourself the most important person in your world. Remember who you are and connect with your unique vibration of energy.

Realize that there is more to you than meets the eye. There is more to you than your current situation. Connect with your value and all you have to give to the world. Your creativity is an inspiration which not only feels good to you but inspires and leads others to their own unique creativity. This is the greatest way of paying it forward. Imagine a world filled with people shining their light and inspiring others to shine theirs. Imagine a world full of inspiration and flowing creativity. Imagine it all starts with you…because it does!

Unleash your creativity! Allow that vibration to reverberate through your life. Use passion and love to fuel your creativity. Find inspiration and value in all that you do and let it flow through you. Allow your inner artist to come out and play!! Come out come out where ever you are! ~Shine Your LightDebbie
