THE ART OF SACRED LIVING

You are here to create a life that is an expression of your soul. To create an epic life is an art. The art of balance, self-care, connection, service to others, creativity, spirituality, friendship and love, these are some of the elements that make for a truly meaningful life.

Humanity needs all of us to walk our path of truth and to bring love to the collective consciousness at this time . Your soul has a blueprint, and everyone is a unique and an essential part of this new earth we are creating together.

Finding the sacred in the every day is one of the best ways to bring awareness to the beauty of life and live in gratitude with every moment.

The Art of Sacred Living is the mastery of you, living and expressing who you are and finding joy in it. Being confident and at home in your own skin, with focus and appreciation for what you have and who you are.

It is being in gratitude and continuously engaging in things that can enrich and empower you.

Start with the present.

The words "present moment" are overused. Because you can't undo the past or project into the future, the present is all you have. Your past or history is the foundation from which you can work on your present. The future holds the fruits of your present actions.

Introspectively look at your life and self, in the present, including the good and the bad. Appreciate your good traits with gratitude and think of ways to improve the characteristics that affect you negatively.

The key is to accept both good and bad at face value with no judgment or duality.

Find the creative expression within you.

Creativity is having the courage, faith, and trust to put an idea into form. This is not limited to creating art or literature, but it is actually the language that lives in the heart and the spirit.

Creativity is one of the most potent forces in the world. Those that dive deeply into creative expression make their whole lives a canvas unto which their hearts are poured, leading to deeper levels of understanding and self-discovery.

Find your balance.

Finding your balance is finding that bliss, the midpoint where no matter what circumstances life throws at you, you stay grounded, you see the good and bad equally and as opportunities for growth. Within this state of balance, it is easy for you to let go of the things you have no control of.

It is in letting go of sources of stress from people, situations, and disappointments that we can truly transcend.

Be assured that you've done your best, and leave it to source, universe, or spirit to work on the rest.

Practice a beginner's mind.

This is a mindset that's open and receptive to new things. It also keeps you aware of any adversity that comes your way, and helps you deal with it intuitively and find solutions calmly.

The Japanese Zen Priest, Shunryu Suzuki said: "In the beginner's mind, there are many possibilities, but in the expert's mind there are few."

Staying with an open mind allows us to see the infinite potential in each moment without fixating on a particular situation or point in time.

Have self awareness.

Being self aware is the conscious knowledge of your thoughts, emotions, feelings, strengths, and weaknesses. It is a non-judgemental understanding of who you are as a person.

Having a strong sense of self-awareness is essential for understanding your actions and identifying areas where tweaks that are better aligned with your purpose and goals can be made.

The Art of Sacred Living is about exploring and living your true nature and discovering the fruits of your highest potential.

By shining brightly and being our best spiritual selves, we will gradually inspire others to do the same.

Stay sacred….
