Devotion

Devotion 

The last couple of days, I have felt this soft, full feeling inside. It
fills me up and surrounds me with peace. I was reading from two
books recently, where authors Marianne Williamson and Anne
Rice were talking about God. This feeling just washed over me as
I was reading, so totally connected and harmonious with what
they were saying. I had the same feeling last year, listening to
one of my favourite spiritual teachers, Adyashanti, speak about
devotion.

There was an instant inner recognition that this is what I want
most of all…

to live my life in a constant state of prayer, appreciation,
gratitude and prayerful devotion to the Divine. There is a
sweetness to it that brings tears to my eyes.

I prayed this morning for God’s grace to bring me back to
awareness, especially at those times when I forget and slip into
unconsciousness.

Reflections from the heart

Reflections from the heart by Nicola Karesh

Connection….

To feel with another without anything in the way. Hearts
touching in a sweet embrace. I hear echoes of my voice in
another’s words. My feelings vibrate here and there and melt
into one divine flow.

Grace…

Allowing the words and the feelings to flow forth like a gentle,
moving stream. I step in and let the experience wash over me
and I am one with the flow.

Wonder…

Everywhere I go, there I am. Listen to my voice here, there,
everywhere. I do not need walls against myself. I am safe,
wrapped and held in the Divine. Enveloped in God’s sweet
embrace.

This moment…

It is pure. It is clear. It is fresh and new. The born and the
unborn in form and undefined in formlessness.
I am an anchor. I am grounded, yet I am in the flow.

My heart is wide open. It is bursting with sweet light. It
sparkles, effervesces and exploding, spills over. It flows and it
fills the world with magic and wonder.

Reflections….

Reflections? Yet, where is there to go?
There is the “I” that seemingly moves from past to present and
into the future. I travel through time and illusion.
There is the “I” that maintains a powerful, constant and
unmoving presence. Witnessing, boundless… it cradles the all.
