women's meditation for today

How familiar we are with trying to be women other than ourselves; ones more exciting, we think, or sexier, or smarter. We have probably devoted a great deal of energy to this over the years. It's likely that we are growing more content with ourselves now. However, aren't there still situations in which we squirm, both because we want to project a different image, and because we resent our desire to do so?We each have been blessed with unique qualities. There is no other woman just like ourselves. We each have special features that are projected in only one way, the way we alone project them. Knowing that we are perfect as we are is knowledge that accompanies recovery. How much easier life is, how much more can be gained from each moment, when we meet each experience in the comfort of our real selves. The added gift of simply being ourselves is that we'll really hear, see, and understand others for the first time in our lives.I can only fully focus on one thing, one person at a time. I will free my focus from myself today and be filled up by my experiences with others.

Try claiming or taking up as much space as your spirit requires.

Staying in our own space and loving ourselves allows choices for us.

Not imposing our energy on anyone else allows them to have choices as well.

Enough is enough.

I'm making moves towards completing my education. I finally got that piercing pain in my self, and I know it will not go away unless I overcome this obstacle of fear. It's taken me a long time to find myself in a healthy place where I am able to make decisions not based on impulse. And this is one of those essential decisions.

Take the bull by the horns     …..    Yeehaw!
