Good Day Wondefful Ones!
How are you living? Do you know what you need on the subtle level of life? Are you connected to what your body is saying it needs? Are you aware of your body's inner signs and signals for attention?
The author says, " A disconnected life is not loving". We are not loving ourselves when we disregard our internal or physical cries for help. It is time to tune in!
The questions for today are:
. Are you in touch with your own inner wisdom and body awareness? Can you hear what your body is saying to you?
. Do you remember learning to distrust your body as a child? ( ex. When you may have expressed to a parent or adult that you were "hot" and they commented that you weren't because it was not that hot outside!)
. Are you able to connect your body's signals with an emotional need or your state of mind?
Action Step: Today, notice what your body is feeling throughout the day AND, connect it to your emotional state at the time or what you may be needing. Or, notice your emotional state first and then see how it is registering in your body!
Make it a great day!

Being, not Doing
Good Day Awakened Ones!
Time.....it is such an elusive quality. We all want more of it and when we have it, we still seem to need more. However, have you known people who seem to accomplish so much more in a day than seems possible? Yet, we all get the same twenty-four hours in a day.
With all that we must do in a day with our nosy schedules it seems challenging to be able to take some take some time for yourself....but, that is exactly what we must cultivate as a habit and as a priority for ourselves.
The questions for today are?
. What level of time management would you say you possess, and is there néed for improvement and if so, what will you do about it.
. Do you seem to " waste" time during your day?
. What moves you to a state of joy and can you incorporate it into your life on a daily basis?
Action Step: Notice how and where you spend your time. Keep a log of today's activities and record how much time was devoted to each activity. Reflect at the end of the day and access "was it well worth your time"!
Make it a great day!

You are not a robot
Good Morning Awakened Ones!
Have you been living your life on auto-pilot? Doing doing doing? Well you are a human "being" not a human "doing"!
We all need to slow down a bit and take time to truly engage in life. Talk with your loved ones, play with your child, take the dog for a long walk, sit on a park bench, anything that allows you to spend time with yourself or with those you value, or doing what brings you joy.
The questions for today are:
. What is your life or your body telling that you need right now?
. What do you think will happen if you just say "no" to some important request for your time and
efforts?
. How do you pace yourself?
Make it an easy day!

Love your body(silence your complaints)
Greeting Beloved Ones!
We have often heard that we are Spirit, Soul, and Body. We usually get the spirit and soul part easily but have a slight challenge with the body part.
Haven't you looked in the mirror and thought, "oh my god, who is that?" Well it was you!
While we are working on the development of our Spirit, and Soul, let us not forget to include the Body! This is the vehicle that makes your existence in form possible.
I know I have some work to do since my body has undergone dramatic changes and I never wanted to gain too much weight. Well I not only have expanded my consciousness but my physical expressions as well. Now to learn to love it all is the key!
The questions for today are:
. Do you love what you see when you look in the mirror?
. What changes would you make to your body based on "sell-love"?
. Action Step: spend five minutes praising and thanking your body for carrying you this far!
Blessings,
Rev. Sylvia

The problem with self-love is.....
Greetings Beloved Ones!
Wow, we are still on the topic of self-love so it must really be important to our well being and spiritual growth! I want to ask, "what's love got to do with it"? Well apparently a lot!
We are so willing to criticize ourselves, point out our flaws and imperfections but.....we are not so comfortable with truly expressing and affirming self-love. Self-love is not the same as self-respect, self-esteem, self-centeredness, self-absorbed, or selfish. But what is it?
The questions for today are:
. What is self-love?
. What is the difference between self-acceptance and self-centeredness?
. What does loving your neighbor as yourself, mean?
I love you all!

Afraid of self-love
Greetings Beloved Ones!
So let's talk more of self-love! I think it is safe to say that it feels easier to offer love to others than it does to offer it to one's self. We will easily compliment someone but have a challenge accepting other's compliments of us. Why is that?
I believe it has to do with worthiness issues, and lack of acceptance of our true beauty and talents. We might not want to come off as conceited, cocky or self absorbed. However, if we are going to be lovers of life and others, we must begin by loving and truly appreciating ourselves.
The questions for today are:
. How do you tenderly love and care for yourself?
. How do you usually respond when other compliment you? Are you really comfortable?
. How do you affirm or value yourself?
Action step:
. Write a positive affirmation about your worthiness!
Make it a love filled day!

Looking for Love
Good Day Lovelies!
Been looking for love in all the wrong places lately?
Well who hasn't at least once in their life. Love....We write about it, talk about it, sing about, and long for it. Yet for some, it seems elusive or unattainable or we only want it in a particular form.
The foremost place to look for love is within and with yourself; then you will be better able to love others.
The questions for the day are:
. What are your emotional needs? Do you know?
. Do you love yourself? Unconditionally?
. Are there areas of feelings of unworthiness that need to be addressed?
. Are you comfortable receiving love from others?
Well dear ones, have a lovely day!
