TOOLS FOR THE JOURNEY

The Tools for the Journey menu contains links to access some of the tools that I have made for myself.  Dive right in and check them out from the menu above or read on for a general description of each and how they came to be.  

Upper/Lower Realm Illustrations

I have used the Upper and Lower Realm Illustrations as tools for developing Awareness.    In the lower realm I feel dark…  here I experience things like doubt, uncertainty, unworthiness, blame, disorder, worry...  In the Upper Realm I feel Light…  here I experience things like Faith, Trust, Compassion, Acceptance, Self-Esteem, Generosity…  

My Journey of Transformation has been an experience of seeking Awareness each day of one little lower realm choice.   This slow gradual process works for me.

Intentions

I have found that the thoughts that I choose to put faith in affect my perseption of my experiences.   I use the Intentions tool to intentionally choose and focus my thoughts.  I imagine myself to be on a journey up a mountain.   Mindful reading of these intentions draws me up the incline towards that which I desire.   Sometimes I read them as they are and sometimes I substitute "I am grateful…" for "I intend…"  I have found that saying thank you brings an abundance of blessings.
Intent to Live Beautifully

Journaling for Transformation

Once I am aware of a lower realm experience, I use the Journaling for Transformation process.  All change begins with a change of mind. I use Journaling for Transformation to gradually align my beliefs with Love.  This has been an indescribable blessing for me.   When I am experiencing the discomfort of any manner of the lower realm, this is a tool I reach for again and again.

Prayer/Affirmations

I have found prayer to be the tool of all tools.  A little goes a long way.  Most mornings I wake and before I put my feet on the floor I just say  a simple but sincere 'thank you.'   After I make my cup of coffee and settling into my chair I say the Live Beautifully Prayer.  Some mornings I also pray the  Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi.  

Sometimes when my day is 'off'  I will think back and realize that I forgot to say my morning prayer and so I sit my butt in the chair and receive this incredible blessing for the remainder of the day.   

I have found praying to be like brushing my teeth.  It is a daily requirement at the minimum morning and night.   To think that praying yesterday is good for today is like thinking that having brushed my teeth yesterday is enough for today.
​
Affirmations are like exercises for our spiritual strength.  They are reps.   As I repeat the affirmations they settle into my bones and I become stronger and stronger.  This gives me the strength to stay in the Upper Realm for longer periods of time.  If I sense that I am weak in a certain regard, I will often write an affirmation on a piece of paper and carry it with me.  Then I can do added 'reps' throughout my day.  Like the flip books, these are a great tool for creating strength: mind, body and spirit.
