Peace – Page 7 – Daily Muse

The other night while meditating there was suddenly a flood of golden light. It filled the room and surrounded me with gentle, loving grace. It was then I received a message from the angels. The message was simple “take your rightful place in the world”. While the initial message was short and sweet it came with a superabundance of information and insight.

TAKE YOUR RIGHTFUL PLACE IN THE WORLD. What does that even mean? Each of us has a path and purpose which adds to the oneness and greater good of all. Many times people lower their vibration, shrink and hide from the world lest they feel vulnerable. Taking your rightful place in the world can only be accomplished by stepping up and bringing to the table (so to speak) all that you are. Shining in this world does make you vulnerable but taking your rightful place and holding your head tall and proud brings peace to your spirit and soul.

Taking your rightful place in the world does not mean you are exempt from being human and experiencing challenges for we are all here to learn and experience different things. Not everyone will step up and be a great artist or dancer or writer or whatever it is you’d like to step up and do. Taking your rightful place means you exist, you are human and you have a right to be you. You have the right to speak, live a passionate life and have good and even a few not so pretty growth periods.

Taking your rightful place does not mean letting your ego run rampant, steamrolling over people or that you know everything about yourself and others. I haven’t met a omniescent person yet but I’ve certainly met many who think they are. Taking your rightful place in this world is about being who you are, accepting who you are and meeting your challenges with grace and compassion. In fact, taking your rightful place means allowing others to be who they are and allowing them their own growth periods, the good, bad and ugly.

You have nothing to prove nor is there anything that needs validating from outside of you. It is about you giving yourself the space to be with the knowledge that you have a right to be here. Taking your rightful place in the world will be different for everyone and the fact is; It is our differences and diversity which, when not judged, enhance all of our lives.

Although you may feel vulnerable at first but it will be OK. Everything will turn out the way it is supposed to. If things aren’t going well for you check to see if your stuck in the past or worried about the future. Check to see if you’ve had similar challenges in the past. If so, that would show you are still working on the energy. Notice if there’s energy of shame. The energy of shame means you are coming from a place of trying to live up to someone else’s expectations of who they think you should be.

Take your rightful place in the world by stepping up and truly being yourself. Forgive yourself if you feel at some level you haven’t lived up to someone else’s expectations. Be proud of who you are. Accept your situation and know you have the ability to choose in an instant to get un-stuck and move forward. You have the ability and choice to change.

Also, know this; Your angels and guides are surrounding you with love. They are there to help and guide you. You are not alone. Consider your angels and guides your personal cheering section as you decide right here and now to TAKE YOUR RIGHTFUL PLACE IN THE WORLD~Shine Your Light Debbie

As the stories and images from 9/11 fill the airwaves we reflect upon not only the events of that day but how those events touched each of our lives in some way. Each and every one of us was affected in some way shape or form and each of us has a personal story about that day….

It was a beautiful sunny day in Chicago on September 11, 2001. I went out for a run and remember how the sun was playfully dancing on the grass, reflecting the crisp blue sky in the mirrored buildings and on the lake. Glancing up at the skyline and marveling at its magnificence I remember feeling happy yet at the same time, there was this nagging feeling I had to get home….

I cut my run short that morning. When I got home, I went into the kitchen ignoring the beeping of my answering machine, grabbed a cup of coffee and came back into the living room where I had left the TV on before I left. Charlie Gibson was on Good Morning America showing a clip of a plane hitting the first World Trade Center building. I thought they were showing a trailer for a new movie coming out. “Are you kidding?” I thought, “Who would make a movie like that?”

In this case, truth is clearly more horrible than fiction. I sat down and watched live as the second plane hit. I went completely numb! This was no movie! It was happening and happening NOW! I sat in stunned silence watching the events in New York, DC & Pennsylvania unfold. Yes, I remember that morning clearly even 10 years later and I’m sure I’m not the only one. All over the world people came together. There was an outpouring of love and it seemed for a moment the world came together as a family.

We honor the victims, survivors and everyone who rose in service on that day and in the days to follow. Our heroes are the firefighters and police who went well beyond the call of duty to save lives. Many of them made the ultimate sacrifice…their lives. We feel connected in some way as Americans and it does not matter if we personally knew anyone involved.

We grieve and wrap our arms around all who were directly affected yet who among us was not affected? ALL of us were affected and it is time to put aside our differences and wrap our arms around each other. It is time to stand tall and not turn a deaf ear when we hear stories of terrorism “someplace else in the world” because “someplace else” was New York in 2001. On that day in 2001 we were a family, grieving together, mourning together and watching a real life horror story.

Let us honor and say a prayer for those who died senslessly at the hands of terrorists. Say a prayer and send love and light to those who lost family friends and co-workers. Let us thank and honor those in law enforcement, the Fire Department, the Military and anyone else who stepped up to go beyond the call of duty for their contributions and sacrifice on that day and since that day. It is time to embrace our loved ones and teach tolerance and love. ~Shine Your Light Debbie
