Wholeness in Living – English» Exploring shared values

Intentional living — Connecting a Million Hearts

Mayte Picco-Kline — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 11:00:12 +0000

Recently I watched a small movie (http://www.connectingamillionhearts.com/) that brought again to my attention an increasing trend to cooperate with each other for the well-being of our Planet. I would like to share with you some of the highlights I found most meaningful:

What can we do if we all work together for an expansion of consciousness?
Genuine appreciation and gratitude for each other and our Planet can create a positive change for humanity.
Science has shown positive emotions have a beneficial effect on all living organisms.

Now, here’s a suggestion: focus on the area around your heart and recall the feeling of appreciation and happiness as you witness a spectacular sunset… the exhilaration of standing atop a mountain… the love when watching the joy of living in children…. Hold that feeling of appreciation in the area of your heart… Imagine you are radiating this feeling out to the Planet… We are all interconnected in this wonderful World.

A Practical Application of Oneness

Recently I discovered Cory Mitchell’s blog speaking about Oneness. The point is that many people believe that this is a philosophical concept that has nothing to do with the real world, and in reaction Cory reflects, “Oneness is in everything, oneness is what allows us to be here and now.” (http://elevatingthesoul.com/archives/489)

In sync with this approach in living, I believe that everything exists in a unity, and a definite intuition of unity is a touch with the real or best in everything. It is a concept that applies to our everyday life realities and in this mood it is possible to enter every experience with the whole of our being, in unison with all that is.

I wish to share today some of my affirmations to embrace Wholeness/Oneness in all facets of living:

“I dedicate the whole of myself to divine desire.”
“I am one with the universe.”
“I am an expression of the all.”

How do you embrace wholeness?

The Joy of Each Moment

Sharing in the wonders of universal fellowship in peace is one of the joys of my life. In the last few days I have had the privilege of encountering through my various professional endeavors precious souls of people living in the United States, Holland, Mexico, England, Australia, Argentina, Canada, Costa Rica and Italy.

Every moment, each day, can become a fresh emergence into a living reality within ourselves and the world. Each moment, each day offers beauty in all that is – the joy of growth and expanded understanding, the glory of action, the splendor in accomplishment.

As Louise Hay, author of You can Heal Your Life, says, the point of power is in this present moment.

The Power of Silence

Silence is a resource that has been used from time immemorial to enter into the depths of our being. World religions have acknowledged its value through its various spiritual perspectives and practices as an integral part of the ideal service of spiritual worship. In Christianity, exists the silence of contemplative prayer. In Buddhism, allowing the mind to become silent relates with spiritual enlightenment. In Islam, the Sufis speak of the relevance of finding silence within. In Hinduism, including the teachings of Vedanta and the various paths of yoga, teachers speak of the meaning of silence for inner growth. In the Religious Society of Friends or Quakers, silence is part of their worship service and an opportunity for the divine to speak in the heart and mind of the individual.

In recent conversation, my friend William Jáuregui shared his appreciation, “silence is the fertile ground for the soundest speech”. I like what he says!

Silence is a will-controlled receptivity in the discipline of spiritual activity. I wish to share with you some of my recent words for reflection:

What have I discovered this day in the profound joy of the golden silence?
When I listen in the stillness of life… the small voice within comes alive!

I invite you to share with me, how do you enter into the power of the silence?
