Becoming a Happy Camper

Step powerfully into the shift and changes this Fall season by becoming a happy camper. If you’ve ever gone camping you know it’s not all sunshine and roses. In fact camping can be very difficult. It can challenge the ego because we are so used to our creature comforts and abilities. Camping challenges our minds to step outside of the ordinary way we see things and challenges us to step into seeing with other senses that aren’t connected to the physical and to find the joy in doing so. 

When I went camping for the first time about 5 years ago it was an immersion trip. I went in hardcore. I tented and bathed in the cold stream. My only creature comfort was the air mattress that I bought with me. Literally that was like my landing pad. If you’ve ever slept on an air mattress then you know it’s no bed and so even that became my opportunity to heal and reveal a greater truth; Happiness doesn't depend on the circumstances. 

During the night the temperatures dropped to below 40 and I was only partially prepared for it. In the night sometimes it rained and the water puddled up in the corners of my tent, while the sides were wet with dew and dripped if I touched it. We woke early in the morning to the beating of the drum in preparation to enter the sweat lodge. Four thirty the drummer made her rounds led by the moon light and a small lantern. This camping trip was no regular camping trip it was a Spiritual adventure. 

We are Souls, Spiritual Beings having a human experience and this human experience is our spiritual adventure.  Just like my camping trip sometimes getting up early in the middle of what feels like the night in the freezing cold is a part of the program. Maybe your freezing cold is the office, maybe your middle of the night is the relatives arriving for Thanksgiving dinner and you are the host. Perhaps your cold splash in the stream is the daily activities that you must preform in order to make things work in your life. Whatever it is, when we stop complaining and start expressing gratitude we can experience a shift in consciousness, a shift in the way we experience our life. 

If Earth is our campground and the Spirit is our natural home, how many ways do we expect the creature comforts of home in this three dimensional world? While camping on the earth we can become happy regardless of whether we are camping in a tent or a trailer. Our happiness doesn’t depend on circumstances. We carry this happiness within us. We cultivate it like I did in the sweat lodge. We develop a daily spiritual practice starting with an attitude of gratitude, we connect with community and we do our part to advance the whole. 

What we think of things becomes internal to how we experience them and what we focus on plants the seeds of what will grow. Learning to become a happy camper is about setting up your tent in the garden of gratitude and bathing in the stream of love. Every day make it your duty, your honor and your privilege to find and focus on the GoOD. Train your mind to do what you want and not the habits that it hold. Happy camping!

Abundant Living!

Sometimes I get scared on this journey I’ve undertaken. I forget that I AM following the gentle promptings of my heart; the voice of Spirit to lead my way. Today I was thinking of what I said yes to. The reality that I left my job of 26 years to follow My Bliss. The thought of “will I be able to make it?” WELL! Every time I ask a question, I get an answer. 

I was minding my own business, happily talking with new and old friends and without provocation I was gifted a bushel of Organic locally farmed fruits and vegetables. This bushel was an abundance of Life Source Energy in physical form. Life Force Energy is Money in its RAW form. Money, “M”y “O”wn “N”atural “E”nergy “Y”ields. What I was given was an abundant source of RAW Natural Energy which would have cost at minimum $100 dollars or more in stores like Whole Foods. This picture is all of it pared across my kitchen table!!! WOW! Can you believe it? How Awesome is that? To live in the Abundant Ever Present Flow of GoOD! 

Money in the Raw 

The kicker which made this event even more profound for me was that earlier in the day, I’d refused service to a perspective client. This is an important piece of information as an entrepreneur. Often times we sacrifice our standards and self for the “need” of money, with the “the customer is always right” attitude, or the “suck it up and do it “ attitude. Well I didn’t. I truly felt that this person would be more trouble that it was worth just through our short interaction. I was learning the lesson between judgement and discernment. I  didn’t dwell on the fact that I didn’t have any clients scheduled for the day or yesterday. 

In the process, I spent time elevating my energy by listening to the Teachings of Abraham. Abraham suggests that you seek to see the best in every situation by creating positive aspects. So yesterday I expressed gratitude for the free time I now had to clear out clutter and make space for new in my life. New thoughts, new ideas, new experiences and opportunities of wealth. Today when I would have been seeing the client I had refused service to, instead  I spent it doing business in a very leisurely way, by making connections. This day turned into a day of many synchronicities. I came across many people who enriched my life just by knowing them, including the woman who gifted me the bushel of fruits and vegetables. Some of them will perhaps be business connections. Abundance also comes in the form of ideas to create more wealth. During this synchronous day, I  had an idea that I consider to be pure Spirit which will generate future income. Today I made three times more than I would have had I seen that one client. Today was a very abundant day indeed. 

The key to abundance is vibration. The ability to become a resonance of what it is you desire. This Resonance is without effort. You don’t “try” to “BE” you just “BE.” That BE”Ing is in the way you move in the world. Living in the present, which is the gift of limitless possibilities and acknowledging the gifts moment by moment in a quietly accepting way.

To help create the shift, whenever you feel down, sad or disheartened, relax into what you are feeling without judgement. Allow yourself to feel it like being on an elevator ride, passing through the floors without getting stuck on either one of them. I did just that yesterday. I allowed what i was feeling to come an I decided to listen to  something that would shift my state of BE”Ing. I listened to hours upon hours of “The Law of Attraction” I listened to Abraham through  Ester and let the words sink in without “trying” to get “it”. In that way I became it.

Ah Ha moment of the day!

Ah Ha moment of the day!

I keep waiting for this moment when I will "BE" enlightened! I keep waiting for something to “HAPPEN” that will let me know that I have arrived. I board the daily journey of my life in route to enlightenment not really living just single mindedly focused on my destination. I haven’t “really” been enjoying the journey. I have had moments on the journey of joy yet focused on attaining a goal I thought outside of myself and alas I have arrived at the moment! I saw it. It was indescribable, profound and wordless and now I go about my day today doing the same things I did yesterday, slightly different. I have had a chop wood carry water ah ha enlightenment, moment and now I chop wood again and carry water until the next moment. It is a constant unfolding of my being. I realize today it can never be a destination because that would imply an ending and I AM infinite so I will always BE therefore Enlightened I AM moment by moment, in my being, in my inaction and essence of who and Who’s I AM I AM Arrived.

Today I’m chopping wood and carrying water the way my Ancestor did. I sing with the joy of being alive. I sing with a message to let the others know which way the road is clear to freedom. I sing to remind myself that working in the field of my consciousness is my only way. I sign to let others know I  AM coming, I AM becoming, I AM. I sing to remind myself of my home land in the Grace of God. I sing to remember my way. I sing to call to others to get on board. I sing to let others know I need you.  This journey of a thousand miles of enlightened moments has begun with the first step….. BEING!
