heart is the way

amya — Sun, 10 Jul 2011 00:57:43 +0000

I have just spent a couple hours traveling through the website of someone who has very much impressed me. He is a philanthropist, but not just in the way you would imagine that to unfold. Here is someone who clearly has the money to give away and support significant change, growth, and transformation – yet, this is not enough for him. He wants to learn, and truly connect with those he is considering offering this assistance to. He wants to not just offer them the money, but to spend some time, learn about who they are, feel some of what they feel, let himself move within their lives for a short time, and then shine a little light on this view for the rest of us to see as well.

I have been yearning for abundance, for ways to make a deep impact, for some grand gesture I can make again and again to help with changing our circumstances, our awareness, our relationships on this beautiful planet where we live. And here I meet someone who has that abundance ready to share, but who realizes that the truly grand offer he can make, is to really connect, person-to-person. The money is helpful, yes, but to say a sincere hello to our fellow humans is where deep transformation happens again and again…to all involved.

A saying for our times from a passing car’s bumper reads:

“there is no way to the heart, heart is the way.”

I would say thank you to that car for the blessed reminder, and to my simple steps this day which led me to these rememberings, to this website fro some inspiration, and to a deeper breathing of light into my own heart. Sometimes something silly, like looking at a photograph of a bunch of dogs happily swimming in a pool, can launch the perfect opening for what wants to come through…

Blessings Be, In Lak’ech Ala K’in,

with heartful appreciation

deep and rich…

amya — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 19:38:23 +0000

as summer rolls out her warm and bright welcome mat, i am adjusting to a new climate, new location, signs of the turning of the year that are not familiar – and contemplating not just what is next, but what would my heart-of-hearts love to be next? i’ve been intently focused on a few things to come into being, and realize this morning that there is more, much much more – there is always more potential than i had thought of until this moment, yes!

i did a short Rabika reading to see what another aspect of Spirit might have for me this day, and i am offered a wonderful gift -

“You are in or are being urged to be in abundant wealth.

This is wealth that meets every goal you have.

This is wealth that leaves you with a rich satisfaction.”

Love this, of course. But what strikes me the most, is in the last sentence: “…wealth that leaves you with a rich satisfaction. “ Yes, thank you, and I welcome more! As I think about it, a few things rise to the surface. Joy, happiness, delight – these are all feelings or states of being that I welcome, and wish to embrace to their fullest as I can…but satisfaction, this feels to me like something different. This is something that comes with contribution, with purpose, with opening to connection. This is not a feeling that simply sustains itself, but something that comes with exchange, engaging in life in a very different way.

So, I ask myself the question – well then, what is it that brings to my life a deep, rich satisfaction?

just a few things, as you can see….

–to create something and feel my own delight with it

–to create and share it for others to have delight as well, if they wish

–to feel free in the moment to be spontaneous

–to pause and notice a simple gift

–to engage with life in thriving, creative ways

–to offer more and more things from inside me to the world

–to offer something that has a place to be of service

–to have fun in the offering

–to feel the spark of new ideas/inspiration, and act on it right away!

–to have access to tools, resources, connections, and use them with heart

–to create and offer movement, change, impact, transformation

–to feel truth light up, to honor it, to share it

–to use my voice and heart

–to play and know it is as important as anything

–to have new experiences, try things, learn things, go for adventure, embrace unknown flight

–to be spontaneous, dare to act on a whim, be a fool, dare to dance it

–to risk to be authentic, to honor it, and to be seen and heard from this place

–to truly connect within, in a group, in the world

–to look in a mirror, and smile with appreciation

–to celebrate other people’s joy and delight

–to offer ways others can find their own authentic and satisfied selves

–to be amused by life

–to feel pleased that I am pleased, and that is enough

I have to tell you, it was so uplifting to do this list – I invite you to do the same ~~

with much love, aa

health, an inside job

amya — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 00:30:25 +0000

an apple a day…vitamin C, lots of water, rest, meditation…creative outlets, plenty of hugs and a feeling of purpose. more and more studies are showing through science what many of us already feel to be true in our bodies. the links between the many levels of who we are all contribute to the health and wellness we experience in our daily lives.

so, what can we do if we want to know more, if we want to actually focus on techniques and aspects to enhance our overall health even more?

i want to share a program i just discovered with you, one that is full of love and the power to really embrace our health in a whole new way, at a whole new level. i just met the founder of this program, Glenda Green, and can feel the depth and sincerity of her offering. since 1992, she has been bringing the messages of Jeshua into the world in very accessible ways. and now, she has gathered together 8 gifted healers and teachers to integrate their own knowledge with that of the messages of Jeshua, and to offer this information to us.

the course will be a 6 month Interactive Course, beginning November 29th, with two weeks off for Christmas, with many opportunities for unlimited contributions of articles, information links, and interactive blog discussions by contributors. The course will be conducted on its own special website, and offers opportunity for the following -

Gain understanding of the most vital factors affecting your health

Tap into the great springs of universal life

Activate your consciousness to improve your health.

Learn our deeper connection with nature, where healing secrets lie.

Gain practical knowledge that you can apply now for health, longevity, and happiness.

what an amazing gift to give ourselves, in this incredible time of change we are living in. it is true, isn’t it, that we are getting many chances to discover and align with what really matters to us, and to those we love? i am truly excited to pass this your way! take a look at the home site, and see the beauty of what this course has to offer. and i’d love to hear what unfolds in your life as you move into the lessens of the course.

blessings, and much health, wellness, and peace for you…

is life moving fast enough for you lately?
yes, i know…a silly question. indeed. there are endless layers of endless choices with endless possible connections and endless potential outcomes. how to even begin to tune in to what really matters, to know which step to take in each moment?

as we become more and more connected, as the world gets smaller and closer in, as we are able to reach out from one small place in the world and clearly touch a part of someone’s life in another part of the world we may have never even seen or been to – we really do have to learn some new ways of navigating in our lives. it is truly miraculous that we can have this intimate impact on each other, simply by making a choice to do so. and there is that word again…choice. so, with endless choices and connections in front of us, how do we choose?

well…does it make your heart sing? that may sound like a cliche, but with so much potential in front of us, how can we spend time on something that doesn’t make our heart sing? seriously… the richness of what is out there is astounding. now is such a great time to reach right out there for whatever feels really good to be doing, learning, sharing, creating, and doing more of.

because here’s what i’ve come to – it’s all about the love.

so, does it make you feel more love? does it light you up with delight? does it make you so alive in your heart that you can’t wait to share it with someone else, and someone else again, and again? and maybe you have to stop thinking about it so you can calm down and get some sleep! yeah…

and sometimes, it may seem there are lists of things that we Have to do. so i am asking myself this question whenever i can slow down enough to remember to ask:

what is the most loving thing i can do right now? or, what is the most loving way i can do this thing right now?

maybe it’s for someone else, maybe it’s something for me. maybe it’s fixing that broken chair that’s been bugging me for so long, and i turn it into a loving act because i deserve having a chair that works, a life without the annoyances of things like a broken chair. putting the loving factor in the middle of anything can completely change how it feels. it can dissolve any sense of being trapped, or duty, or should-ness about a task, transform it from a chore that needs to be done to the process of giving a gift, breathing life into a life.

as i’m learning how to work my new discernment navigational system, i am finding the love-factor gauge works best right up there at the top, along with the fun-factor gauge, and the curiosity-factor. the oh-what-the-heck-it’s-right-there-in-front-of-my-face gauge is still moving around a bit, along with the let’s-be-distracted-for-a-bit option, and the why-not option…

the heart does know, when we choose to listen. from this gal’s view of the future – it is indeed, all about the love, baby…

5 minutes

i was at the car place yesterday, and there was a woman there waiting for the courtesy shuttle who caught my attention. she was pretty tall, older, with graying blond hair that was pulled back into two long pigtails. she wore pink uggs, pink shirt, pink hair ties, a pink sweater tied around her waist, and a leopard fuzzy knapsack. she was all energized and bubbly, and was excited to show the shuttle driver photos of something. it became clear that she did some kind of work with animals, and the photos were of her with some of them. and then i heard her say “i just love my job!”

i watched her sharing this with the driver, and was quietly enjoying her delight and simple joy in the world. and i realized, that once more, my stereotypes were being blown. i love when this happens!! so many assumptions, presumptions from all of our experiences, our beliefs, our thoughts about style and personal expression, how someone who has a certain path should or would be acting or presenting themselves. and most of the time, it’s this quiet undercurrent that we don’t even notice, yet it’s potentially effecting how we interact with just about every person, in every situation…

so there i am, at the car joint, watching my own layers be revealed, receiving this gift from a stranger who is simply being who she is in the world. i chuckle, and say thank you, and marvel at how it all weaves together sometimes. she loves her work, and makes the shuttle driver smile, and i observe something for 5 minutes that changes me, and the animals get to have someone with them who obviously loves them very much. so great.

feeling blessed to be here in this time of so much opening, so much change, such beautiful shifts unfolding before our wide open eyes. it’s not always easy, but i am noticing that relaxing into the now moment, the very step that is in front of me, it becomes so much easier. someone will say the perfect thing i need to hear, or something will fall open off a shelf in front of me, or i will remember something that happened years ago that has a sweet message i can really use.

and there are so many paths that were not here before. as we open to what is real within us, we are discovering new things both inside our hearts and minds, and all around us in the natural world. science does continue to reach and seek and explain. as we release layers of assumptions, then more new concepts can be welcome into the circle of light and discovery.

one new concept in my world is actually very old. working with the energies of the Earth, of Gaia, with the elements at a very basic scale. modern day alchemy is combining ancient practices with new technologies to produce monatomic or m-state elements that support our bodies in healing themselves, increased alertness, and an awakening awareness to spiritual/energetic realms. i am using some of these amazing products, and definitely feeling results – they feel like such a blessing and a gift.

if this sounds interesting to you, take a look at this site for more info – ZeroPoint Technologies. i have really liked what they offer, and they have some detailed, yet easy to understand explanations of the chemistry behind it all. it’s really pretty fascinating, and exciting to see what is becoming available for us to use in our daily support for growth and wellbeing. and i love that spirit and science just keep getting closer and closer to each other. times are indeed a’changin!

the story of now

amya — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 05:12:27 +0000

i went to see a movie today. it’s been a while, and i was in the mood. there was a time i would see just about every single movie that came out, sometimes two a day…and then the videos at home, and TV, and…the newspapers, magazines, and the radio, trips to the library.

the film today was good, actually, but…i just can’t do it like i used to. it’s like i’m observing it all, on the outside, separate. and it’s less than satisfying. i’ve been puzzled by this feeling, and keep going back to see if i can retrieve that old feeling of joy, escape, vacation from my life, climbing into someone else’s world. getting some insight and juice to take home with me… but it just doesn’t work like that any more.

i remember when i was flying, and i met pilots at the airstrip who were doing some pretty amazing things in their work. they were very skilled at their jobs, playful, centered, serious and fun at the same time. and they were all so supportive of me being there, reaching for my own dream. i met one jet pilot named (believe it) Buck Rogers, who was very skilled and also just like a regular guy. he helped me realize something important – that i wanted to wake up each day, and do something extraordinary in my life.

and i remember my vocal mentor from a few years back, Mouna, from the wonderful workshop “Singing for Power”. so many of the experiences from this workshop are still with me – i tell the stories of them often…but one in particular comes to me now. at one point Mouna said to us “we in this culture, pay a lot of money, and spend a lot of time and energy following the lives and appreciating those people who are ‘connected’. so…it’s about time for all of us to step up, stand up, be seen and heard – let’s all of us ‘get connected’…”.

so i’m home from seeing this movie created by people i don’t know, about other people’s stories, in a theater with people who seemed to be enjoying themselves… and now i’m pausing, taking a look at my world.

not so much at what has been, though, the memories are there in sweetness and warmth, things accomplished, lessons learned – but what about now? what is the story i am writing, filming, recording, creating right now…what are the feelings when eyes open first thing in the morning, the thoughts that come racing in, the first breath in and out – is it relief, joy, anxious, calm, excited…

what IS the story of now we are creating together – mine, yours, and the future we are drawing towards us with each breath in, and out. how are we connected? what transforms the ordinary into something extra, something potent, something that causes us to take a second glance at our own lives. maybe it’s as simple as perspective, appreciating with fresh eyes. and maybe it’s allowing that really big thing to take hold, and show itself in us, through us, between us…finally.

what better time than right now, to open up, to get connected. and write the story with nice clean lines, getting to the heart of the matter in the opening scenes, leaving room for a surprise or two, and add a little something extra.

discovery

amya — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 17:18:50 +0000

i was doing some centering work this morning, with the intention of getting it “right” today, not wasting any time in scattered spinning, being clear about what i want to get to, and how i want to feel about it, and being secure in my knowing of my path, that i’m “on purpose’ with my higher plan…and on. i was working with the focus wheel approach, (as suggested in Abraham’s Book – Ask and It Is Given, pg 257) which is something i have resisted before, feeling it just takes too long, but i’ve been trying it the past few days.

a side note here – what’s interesting, is that if i feel i do not have the time to do any centering work, or meditation, or breathing exercises – then that is probably when it’s a Really Good idea for me to do them…

now, real quick – a focus wheel is when you draw a circle in the center o your paper, put the outcome you want in the middle, and then 12 small circles around the outside of the circle like a clock. you basically work your way around the circle writing statements that slowly improve how you feel until you match what you wrote in the center. it really does help, i was surprised to find out.

so, i’m doing the focus wheel, and wanting a certain outcome, and something amazing happens. i was wanting some control, and some security, and some knowing – actually, a lot of knowing – so i would not make any mistakes, or waste my time, or feel foolish, or risk judgment by others (or myself)… and i had this great realization.

i do not really want to know it all, because i love being an explorer, and discovering something new. this is me.

it is completely in my nature to be curious, to try, and see what happens. and in my striving for an illusion of perfection and no mistakes, then i lose the joy in that process. i look back at all the things i have done, and then “changed my mind” about. the list is very long. and it has been this burden, an undercurrent of a long list of “mistakes”, of things that i either failed at, or i was flaky because i couldn’t stick with something, or if i would just hang in there i would get really good at it and feel accomplished. and some things i have stuck with in a big way, and will love until the end of my days. but, the reality is – i like to try things. i like to explore, to have the adventure, to be in a place of discovery.

what a relief! i’m an explorer, and explorers do not worry about mistakes, or getting it right the first time, or knowing everything before they take a step. they make plans as best they can, and then off they go, with a pair of PF Flyers, a compass, eyes open wide, and ready for delight. wahoo!!

(*PF Flyers make you run your fastest, & jump your highest – a well known fact)

another International Day of Peace has come and gone. and how do we feel?

for many of us, it is a day for dreaming, for fun, for music and connection, for sharing our hearts, our excitement, imagining possibility. for some it is a day like any other, rushing to work, stressing to get to all that must be done in a busy life. and for some, it is a day of miraculous hope, as the gunfire ceases, the bombings lessen, and a child can finally get medical attention, families can be united, food can be dropped to those in need…

i have been blessed with a daily life without war. my day-to-day peace concerns may be unexpected construction noise wafting in while i’m wanting quiet, trying to get somewhere in the traffic at 4pm, long lines at Trader Joe’s, will my garden survive with water rationing next summer? these are not life or death situations, and yet, my own ability to create peace in my life no matter what is happening in each moment…just one simple thought can send ripples out to be felt by the whole human family. there is so much in the world that i do not understand, that i cannot begin to imagine how it would feel or what a solution might be. but i can learn to listen to my own balance, and create that peace in my own life that i would want to give to someone else.

when each of us are aligned with who we really are, when we feel empowered and free, when we find that place at our center of calm knowing and a spark of passion, a vision inside, i believe that is where peace comes from. i look forward to the time when every single one of us feels free to discover the unique and beautiful contributions we have inside that can then become part of the whole of all of us. in each moment, when any one of us do find this place and make our offering, the world is changed – we are so on our way…

another chance…yes!

much is happening, so fast, that it’s been a challenge to stop for a moment and put anything down here in any kind of form. as soon as i start to gather some ideas together, it all shifts again…and then again. exciting times, and also amusing to attempt to walk or think in any kind of straight line. perhaps a straight line is not the goal any more, yet i am accustomed to organizing my life that way, or at least attempting to be normal a fraction of the time. (smiling)

the organization i want to mention here, is one that i resisted at first. i have had my own past experiences with online companies and ideas that were going to revolutionize various aspects of our lives. and either the organization/company didn’t work, or i didn’t engage with it enough to make it work. so i was hesitant to even pause and give this one a moment of my attention.

and then i did take a long look. i decided to give it a fair chance, peel off the layers of my own assumptions, find out what is true and real, look at the motivation behind it all, and then to look at the structure that is forming along with the vision of what is to come… and you know? this is a fantastic company.

i’m talking about GetZooks, which is many things, and almost overwhelming if you want to take all the aspects in at one sitting. one thing i love about it is the practical and functional nature of where it is right now – Individuals, Businesses, Communities, Charities can all plug in and start earning/connecting/expanding their online presence right away.

another aspect i love is the vision of what is to come – member benefits and programs such as an eBay-type exchange, a member currency (Zooks Bucks?) that will be independent of any country or national lines, the goal of bringing education and sustainable development to each and every person on the planet, and so much more.

and another aspect i love, is the accessibility the members have to truly participating in forming what/where/who/how it is all moving ahead. the founders and creators of GetZooks are walking the talk of what they are wanting to build – an open platform where there is room for anyone to participate. the end is created by the means, yes?

there are more and more ways to step up, reach out, offer our creativity and beauty to the world, connect with each other as equal beings, grow into the ones we came here to be – i believe GetZooks is one place to realize some of this amazing potential.

i invite you to take a look, see what you think…and whether or not you decide to participate in any way – shop/sell/join/fundraise – perhaps you will be inspired to bring your own vision into view, and connect with this new Flat Earth that is forming right before our eyes.
