Poem and Prose for Catching Troublesome Thoughts

A POEM ON THOUGHTS & PERCEPTION:

Do not run away, 

do not be afraid.

When we escape we must always inevitably RETURN.

"Return to what", you may ask?

Return to what Is - This Moment, your life 'Now' - or what you're thinking and believing about it.

It's always going to be a moment...

moment to moment.

Present to present, presence to presence.

Awareness brightly lit.

Can you be still and breathe through this one very precious, special moment here and now?

Can we pause and breathe - and allow - the thought that just zoomed into your space of consciousness and awareness?

This is all that is happening ever.

It's always going to be 'this moment' whether here or there...anywhere, truly.

Allow it

Be in it. 

Flow in it....

Breathe in it and be OK with what is 

Be the love, choose the love, be the peace, choose Peace.

Consider some Positive, Helpful and Resourceful Thoughts to orient yourself in a more empowered direction:

"I can control my thinking right now.

I can control and choose what I think right now.

I choose to ...

I believe that ...

I think that...

No judgment, just 'is-ness' and being-ness."

Allowing! Letting the moment and situation "be" what you think it is in this space and snapshot in time and space. 

It only exists in your thoughts. If you don't look, you don't see and it's not real. 

It's always just this moment with different players, sights, visions and sounds. 

The cryptic maya (illusion) and yet, even in this that there is a 'maya',

There is inherently a label, judgment, evaluation, assessment on existence being an illusion as opposed to non-illusion or Truth, or Wholeness, or Purity and Realness.

From God & Source & Your Inner Being: 

"It can be Okay, my dear darling. What is right now is fine and acceptable. 

I love you now and always

Let the love in. Don't block the flow.

'She's so nice', you ,may think.

'He was so nice and helpful,' you recall.

'She is so considerate',

'She is so thoughtful, considerate and gracious.'

'He is so attentive and knowledgeable - perfect timing. '

'I am so glad I am helpful and resourceful.'

These are just samples of the positive aspects you can highlight from whatever you have lived with today. Or replace the above with whatever has really happened for You. 

Take note of all the good that has come your way today - did someone help? Are you breathing calmly? Can you walk at all? These are profound blessings.

Taking a moment to pause and breath and peacefully just let it Be, for a moment the tension and dissipates - and things feel better overall. 

---

Amen. Amen. So be it.

How God Loves - Poem by Jennifer Arcila (Nov. 2, 2016)

How God Loves

I love you -Yes, I do!

I love you - Yes, it’s true!

Do you know how grand you are?

You are born of Source, You are born of Love

You are born of ecstasy,

My divine and artful inspiration, 

A unique and utterly sublime creation.

The Spirit of God dwells in you, a sacred union to now renew,

Through you and around you. We are One, ever true

Remember this, my dear, albeit no small feat,

In this awareness, in consciousness - we frequently meet.

In everything you do

and all things gone through,

I always have been and always will be with you.

"I Think, I Breathe" - Poem by Jennifer Arcila (Oct. 31, 2016)

“I Think, I Breathe”

Poem by Jennifer Arcila, Oct. 31, 2016

A troublesome thought pops into your mind... 

Simply be Aware and close your eyes
Don’t believe everything you think
Some thoughts, my friend, have no heart; they’re easy, lazy lies, 

They flow in streams, link to link, leading many to the brink.

Simply notice; breathe into that thought
bring yourself into your heart center.
The Truth is pure, supreme, and eternal - it cannot be bought.
Let Breath be your loyal, loving mentor.

Let truth float to the surface, for you and all to see,
All in due course, my child; the timing is just right.

Surrender those thoughts to the easy, breezy light.
And so, my child, right now - You simply breathe, simply BE.

* The End - Thank you *

 This quotation is powerful: It is about Consciousness and Awareness of our mind and thoughts. Our Soul and Spirit Self is that energy/voice/inner energy that feels loving, nurturing and balanced; it does not judge or criticise and it's the voice that stays with you throughout your life guiding you to your joyful path through compassion, wisdom and God's grace. You are not your thoughts; thoughts are thoughts and they come and go and change. Anchor yourself, not to your thinking, but rather to that inner presence and energy that feels love, sincerity and connection to a higher power...a creative force that pushes you to be loving, kind, caring, and generous. Trust yourself to discover this Inner Resource and to focus on this particular relationship.

Remind yourself daily, moment to moment: How am I breathing? Breathe in through the Nose, deeply into the belly, and exhale through the Nose, releasing whatever does not serve your joy and highest good. Let it go and come back to your Inner Peace.
