A morning missive

Daily morning meditation/journal/prayer/listening time is crucial for me to stay tapped into higher guidance, to anchor and embody Truth. There is so much “craziness” swirling in the world right now. Headlines and stories are often so surreal. I understand how many people are fearful. So I ask for guidance daily, how to best stay grounded, how to best serve.
One of the exercises I'm doing this month in my morning time is to randomly open a book, any book, (or one of my journals) and whatever words my eyes fall on is part of my daily guidance from God/Source/Spirit.
I had written “May I be a force of calm and love and peace. Help me. Guide me. Keep me grounded and steeped in Truth. Anchored. Embodied. Empowered.” Then I take a calming breath. Then a nudge as to what book to grab. Then close my eyes and let the page choose me. I opened my big pink binder of notes of a previous class and I see in all caps: The greatest contribution we can make is BEING AT PEACE.
That felt so affirming. How do I best help others who are feeling unmoored right now? My being at peace.
It isn’t lip service, and it isn’t insignificant. If you are freaking out, does being with someone else who is also freaking out help you at all? Nope. My daily morning time helps me not freak out. So whoever comes to me for any reason I am able to embody peace and listen deeply. To them and to guidance.
I keep going in my meditation and my journal and my talk to God/Whatever Name You Use. One of my focus points for this month is DEEPENING. In so many ways. And I received: this month is also about deepening reliance on guidance.
RELIANCE ON GUIDANCE. Yeppers. That is how I am able to be at peace. Deepening the reliance on guidance. Like all the mystics and saints and ancients and elders….
But of course, Ego kicked in. Reliance on guidance – wait a minute. I am smart. I am self-sufficient. Don’t give your power away.
Fascinating.
(Aren’t inner dialogues themselves a trip? Who are we talking to? How many voices are in there?!)
Power. The Ego does not want to give power to guidance. The ego wants to be the boss, yet it often operates from fear. That is not powerful.
Then the voice of Truth reverberated in me. You are SOUL SUFFICIENT.
Oh, I like that. That felt good. That felt right. That felt Truth. That felt like the power of peace.
Soul sufficient, being at peace, deepening reliance on guidance.
That is how we navigate these times.
That is how we be a beacon for others.
And guidance told me to share this morning missive with you.
Onward we go in love.
Ever deepening,
Kelly
