Hey you with your shiny light….

As I write this blog I’m watching one of my favorite holiday classics Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer“. I settled in to watch with the innocence and delight of a child.

I watched as Rudolph resisted covering up his beautiful shiny nose then was bullied & shunned for the very thing that in the end made him the hero who saved Christmas.

As Rudolph walked away from his peers in isolation he began to sing:

“Why am I such a misfit?
I am not just a nit wit!
I’m an adorable reindeer
Why don’t I fit in? “

Then there’s the island of misfit toys. Those toys KNEW they would be loved by children if given the chance. Instead they were effectively thrown away and banished to an isolated island.

At one time or another I think we have all felt like we didn’t fit in and decided to isolate. I can tell you that growing up sensitive to and seeing energy pretty much put me in the feeling like a misfit category many times! 

When I started taking meditation and clairvoyant classes
I remember feeling like it was the first time a really belonged. There I was sitting in a room with other people who had grown up feeling like “misfits” because we could see or feel things others weren’t aware of;  Not because there was something wrong with us!

Now ponder this question: “Misfit” according to whom? The bullies? The haters? The naysayers?  There is no such thing as a misfit! Although you may not fit in to this group or that, if you are different, it is your uniqueness that is special!

If you feel shunned, see things from a different perspective, have a brilliant idea that is invalidated or have tried to fit in to a particular “click” maybe it has nothing to do with YOU! Maybe those feelings stem from something you were once told,  you were laughed at or even bullied. If you took on those energies and haven’t cleared them out, you are not living as YOU are.

Trying to be like someone else doesn’t work. Trying to fit in to a group doesn’t work. YOU being YOU does! Considering yourself beautiful, unique and special,  will attract those that appreciate who you are.  Bathe yourself in a golden light to help bring forth your inner light. It is YOUR light that very well may guide, inspire and illuminate the path of another!

Your true spiritual essence shines unlike anyone else’s and when you embrace that uniqueness and love the very thing that makes you different, your spirit grows and expands with that vibration. It fills you up with YOU instead of those other energies that you’ve held on to for so long! So….

‘ Some would even say you glow! Hey you with your shiny light, be a guide and inspire tonight! And all the ones that join you will loudly shout it out with GLEE, living from who you are, is the only and best place to be!’

Immediate Gratification?

In this time of fast foods, bigger better and faster I started to wonder what role  immediate gratification has played. You all know what I’m referring to and it’s interesting to look at in terms of creating change in your life.

We want the newest styles, gadgets & toys,  better cars and technology that works at the touch of a button. There is an expectation that the economy can be ‘fixed’ overnight. If we join a WEIGHT LOSS program we expect like magic to lose the excess pounds by tomorrow morning yet if we see something that looks really yummy we eat it to gratify our taste buds on the spot.

People wait in line to be the first ones to get that new cool item using credit cards without a thought about paying for it in the future. Think on that for a moment. If you really want something you go out and get it. OK there might be a passing thought that crosses your mind but by golly you do it anyway!

Our society has indeed become one of immediate gratification whether it is to make us feel better or to take our attention off our day-to-day troubles. Certainly there are things that will truly make life easier and we all want those but the challenge comes in when we not only want those things but we want them TODAY….NOW.

We have gotten used to getting what we want when we want it yet in a not so distant past, we had to make our own clothes and grow our own food. We waited patiently for the seeds we planted to grow. There is no possible way to rush a seedlings growth to HARVEST.  We were all responsible for the essentials we needed. To be sure I’m not saying we should go back to that time! The point is we had no choice but to be patient and trust the process. 🙂

The reason I bring this up is for you to take a moment to look at what you expect from your meditation practice and journey into awareness. Are you seeking immediate gratification? Do you meditate for a few days then give up or move on to the next thing because you don’t notice monumental changes?

In spirit there is no time or space. Things can and do happen instantly! That’s the good news. 🙂 The next part is bringing those spiritual changes into the body and making it real. Although everything begins with your ‘thoughts’ and focus the physical body exists in time and space. It takes time for those changes to manifest on the physical plane.

Becoming conscious of where your energy is and bringing YOU back to YOU is the first step toward creating the change that you seek. It is a continual process in which you grow and expand your awareness. Honor and trust that a process is indeed taking place whether you see it instantly or not.

On any journey it might be best to check immediate gratification at the door. If you question big changes are actually taking place notice the small details. Know that even the smallest change now can shape your future in ways you can’t even begin to imagine!….Shine Your Light!~Debbie
