Welcome 2015!

 

As I sit still and reflect on 2014, I feel that I must pay homage to the hardships and struggles that many of us have had to endure.  I give thanks, and I bless these struggles with love, in order that I may learn and grow from them.

My friend of 25 years lost her husband in May and my Mother passed in July.  There were many deaths this previous year, for many people, giving pause to a lot of grieving.  Societies around the globe are crumbling under the weight of such sadness and lower vibrating energies.

I found myself swimming in the murky pools of shame and embarrassment.  Shame because I had considered myself to be a loyal friend and a loving daughter.  After these two losses, however, I found that I may have been just the opposite.  I got caught up in myself, my plans, my life, only to learn again, that all we have is this very minute.  I had to take a huge step backwards and allow myself time to grieve and to allow my heart to heal.

I don’t believe we ever truly “get over” the loss of a loved one… we simply learn to go on.

And, so it goes, with the New Year upon us, I would like to take this opportunity to direct all of you to the truth of our being.

If you want love, you must be love.

If you want peace, you must be peace.

If you want gratitude, you must be gratitude.

If you want trust, you must be trustworthy.

You get the picture.  Anything you are wishing for in this life, you must be. This is the law of attraction.

May your New Year be filled with perfect health, abundant wealth, and more joy than you have ever known!

Happy 2015 Everyone!  --Mai Calev

In And Out Of Judgement

Fear is paralyzing. Fear prevents us from moving forward with our dreams, goals, and desires. Fear blocks the heart from expanding, loving fully, and feeling pure joy. Fear evokes discomfort into the cellular structure of our bodies and minds. Fear rips apart the cohesive structures and fabric of our souls—even the bonds of entire families and societies. Fear blocks. Fear stifles. Fear keeps us in judgment of others. Fear darkens the soul and snuffs out “the light.” (Emphasis added.) (Excerpt from The Light That Shines Through The Fields of Fear.)

The experience for many who sit in judgment of others, do so because they are insecure about the thought of how others view them.  This is the lesson of the mirror - reflective energy. This reflective energy shows itself in a variety of ways.  From the people we interact with on a daily basis such as friends and family, to those we work with, or meet on the street by happenstance. A discussion on Reflective Energy is forthcoming – stay tuned!

For the sake of this post, I would like to focus attention to the fear-based energy of judgment; judgment of others and self-judgment.  Did you know that the energy of judgment can lead to self-destructive behaviors, such as addictions? Sadly, individuals bound by addiction don’t realize judgment is the culprit that must be done away with in order to be accepting of oneself and then accepting of others.

Judgment is oppression. Judgment is limiting. Judgment boomerangs.  Judgment is essentially the emotional poison to negativity. We become consumed in this thought pattern mostly because we allow ourselves (our minds) to do so and it pulls us in like quicksand. Lying in judgment of others restricts growth because you are now measured in the same way as you have measured others. Gossip is judgment. We are actually taught this behavior, subliminally as children, when we are watching others, and listening to conversations.

Breaking the cycle of judgment requires doing away with all preconceived thought and ideas of others. Being non-judgmental equates to acceptance. Acceptance of oneself and then others. It isn't until one can fully embrace him and/or herself that allows perfect freedom to accept the culturally and/or socially diverse society we live in. It is impossible to know what lies in the heart of any person. How then can this individual be measured (judged) accordingly?

When we truly learn to love, live, accept, embrace, and honor we will find that fear dissipates from our souls and our emotions and thoughts run free (unclogged) to grow, to receive positive energy and light. And herein is where we flourish! It’s is exactly here where we want to be.
