June is a month where you have the opportunity to see the
world of possibilities that are opening to you. As you learn to
become more loving to yourself, you also become more self-contained.
This month you are no longer looking for someone or something
outside of you to fulfill you. When you are relaxed and at ease
you can see the limitless possibilities all around you. When you
are in tune with your true nature you trust that the universe
is giving you exactly what you need in order to grow.
When you constantly need to analyze things, over time, you realize
that mind will accept any boundary or limitation as the truth.
But existence by its own nature cannot have boundaries.
Your mind will try to tell you to be content. If you listen to
that voice then you will remain small. This smallness is your
mind’s imposition upon your freedom. It then limits your
potential and possibilities. When the mind is in control you become
lazy and life then becomes dull. You feel as if you are in a rut
and life becomes a bitter pill to take.
When you have an experience that you have arrived, remember your
mind is imposing a boundary and limit upon your experience. This
does not mean that you have not achieved something fabulous. That
is to be celebrated. But each of us is constantly growing and
evolving. Enjoy that success and then reach beyond that known
place towards more fulfillment, love, and joy. When you think
that you have arrived know that the mirror of that reality is
cracking under your feet and you are about to take a freefall
into something new and unknown.
Don’t worry about it or despair. This is just the natural
progression that is life. There is always something new to explore
or some way to expand love in your life in greater expanding circles
of connection and honor.
Do not believe those who offer false flattery and seduction. They
unknowingly are keeping you small in order to validate that they
do not need to grow further. Others will tell you that it should
be enough and you should be satisfied and content with what you
have. In this place I am not talking about financial satisfaction.
I am talking about spiritual fulfillment and satisfaction. In
this area trust your own depth and discipline. There are amazing
levels of spiritual awareness, conscious clarity, and awakening
that are available to everyone. But this does take discipline
and the willingness to push beyond comfort into the areas that
are hidden and resistant within you.
That is why you must learn to listen to the intuitive self and
the deeper soul awareness that is within. The mind is only one
small and very narrow aspect of your being. You are much more
than what you believe you are.
Notice if you value doing but do not always value the mystical
knowledge that can be found within the intuitive self. That intuitive
self is asking for you to listen and open beyond the level of
comfort that you have created up to this point.
This month, be reluctant to take huge external risks. Let go of
extravagant plans and the constant need to manifest extreme wealth.
Allow stillness to invade your life. Go within and find your inner
source of power and clarity.
Take some time to dance into the passionate flow that is what
makes life worth living. It is the simple things in life that
are the memories we end up holding as sacred treasures. As a child
you do not remember the expensive gift at a holiday as much as
you cherish the memories of rolling in the grass and playing with
your family in hysterical giggles and laughter.
Allow those simple pleasures to expand the childlike innocence
back into your life. Allow joy to become the priority. Allow love
to be the guiding light and principle in your work and family.
Make choices that are not about getting what you want, but noticing
and giving to others what will open their heart more fully to
the love that is within them. After all, spirit is always present
and guiding our lives, even if we do not always realize it.
