Your True Essence…

You are love. Your true essence is love. Be aware that you are love in all you do, say, think, feel, smell, taste or know, and you will be happy and healthy all the days of your life.

When life is challenging, it is often because we have lost sight of the focus on love and well-being. Everything is energy. All energy vibrates on waves – like sound waves – circling out and returning to the source. Our thoughts, feelings, emotions and words are broadcasting and creating future reality.

Through the use of tools like meditation and contemplation, you can become conscious of what thoughts, feelings and beliefs are predominant in your life. Often many of our thoughts are unconscious and repetitive. Whatever we focus on creates reality, so if someone is constantly having negative or worrisome thoughts, they are actually attracting what they are thinking about! The key is to focus on what you do want, not what you don’t want.

Be mindful. Simply put, being mindful means paying attention to what types of thoughts, feelings and belief systems you maintain in your consciousness. If you want more kind, caring and supportive friends and family, then think thoughts like, “I attract love, joy, and happiness into my life. I am grateful for my support system.”

But what if you don’t feel supported? I invite you to practice thinking this thought and have gratitude for anyone who is supportive. Use gratitude as a tool to maintain positive thinking and to attract love by contemplating people, places or situations that exhibit loving kindness. It might be a cashier, a dog, the mechanic, or a very dear longtime friend. Focus on what is working in your life and you will soon attract more of the same . . . which is essentially love!

You can use color, gemstones and aromatherapy to help re-focus your awareness on what you do want and to amplify your intentions for the day. Dressing with consciousness is easy to do and fun as well.

Use the color, energy, and feel of your choices to complement the positive thoughts you have established regarding your goals and desires. For example, choose a blue shirt, a citrine bracelet and add lemon essential oil or a citrus fragrance on a day that you must communicate. This helps amplify courage and the right words to flow through you. Match your choices with this affirmation: “It is easy for me to express myself. I am understood, and I truly hear what others are communicating.”

In addition, allow yourself to replace negative thoughts or fears connected with the goal with the positive statement that this affirmation provides: “I am love. All that is attracted to me and all that surrounds me is love.”

Repeat the affirmation again and again and soon you’ll find that any negative thoughts and fears disintegrate. Where love and goodness reside, there is no room for anything else.

All that matters is love.
