Hello and good morning. It’s another awesome and amazing day in the universe. You and I are alive on this day, in this moment.

Unconditional love: Yes, this is the key to unlocking the most beautiful, spectacular and amazing day. Unconditional love. You can’t ask for something to be a certain way in order to say, “I love you”. You must simply say, “I love you” and “Thank you” regardless of the situation or outcome.

I appreciate this day, as any other day, no matter what comes, what is and what will be. Because it’s all part of God’s perfection and God’s creativity and God’s growth. Remember change is the nature of all things. Everything, even a rock just sitting still, is in motion. You and I are always changing. Our circumstances, our day, our life, and everyone around us are exactly what we think they are. So, we must think – unconditional love. Yes, your boss, your wife, your husband, your boyfriend, your girlfriend, your sister, brother, the cashier, the policeman…. everyone and anyone, we’re all the same  - we’re one. One energy, God. And God asks us to give unconditional love.

It’s the magic of the universe and you are the magician that can make it happen. Don’t be the warrior, don’t fight anymore. Simply stand still and send love. Remember, the words that you share are you and your words vibrate your life. If you think and share negative words, “Life is horrible, people are mean and unkind”, you will receive just that because you are the creator of the your universe. Unconditional love. Practice standing still in the storm of life, open up and listen and you will know that it’s only God’s creativity, and you are the God energy. Practice good thoughts, loving thoughts because you are what you think you are. If you work, move, act, and live through unconditional love, it will unfold as that. Every thought is a vibration to every cell of your being. Unconditional love, a simple concept, a simple practice.

Now go enjoy the day. Read something positive and uplifting. Send positive and uplifting thoughts to those things which challenge you, which you hate, and watch miraculous change come about. God bless.

Sharing some thoughts for the day,

Dr. Rob

The expression going with the flow is a metaphor that applies to navigating a river. When we go with the flow, we follow the current of the river rather than push against it. People who go with the flow may be interpreted as lazy or passive, but to truly go with the flow requires awareness, presence, and the ability to blend one’s own energy with the prevailing energy. Going with the flow doesn’t mean we toss our oars into the water and kick back in the boat, hoping for the best. Going with the flow means we let go of our individual agenda and notice the play of energy all around us. We tap into that energy and flow with it, which gets us going where we need to go a whole lot faster than resistance will.

Going with the flow doesn’t mean that we don’t know where we’re going; it means that we are open to multiple ways of getting there. We are also open to changing our destination, clinging more to the essence of our goal than to the particulars. We acknowledge that letting go and modifying our plans is part of the process. Going with the flow means that we are aware of an energy that is larger than our small selves and we are open to working with it, not against it.

Many of us are afraid of going with the flow because we don’t trust that we will get where we want to go if we do. This causes us to cling to plans that aren’t working, stick to routes that are obstructed, and obsess over relationships that aren’t fulfilling. When you find yourself stuck in these kinds of patterns, do yourself a favor and open to the flow of what is rather than resisting it. Trust that the big river of your life has a plan for you and let it carry you onward. Throw overboard those things that are weighing you down. Be open to revising your maps. Take a deep breath and move into the current.

I’m thinking today of a pivotal moment in my life.  Some of my most profound pivotal moments, I  experienced in seemingly subtle moments of my life.

I was in a high school philosophy class discussing the existence of God.  It was at a point that I was struggling with the God that was presented to me in my church upbringing and I was uncertain what I believed, at the same time I knew that I felt better when I was connected to a higher source.  Suddenly it became clear to me.

I said “It really does not matter whether there is a God or not because at the end of my life there either will be something more or there will not.  So I am choosing to live my life with the beliefs that make me feel good while I am alive!”

That was such an important moment in my life because it allowed me to set aside the debate and explore the enchantment…which of course is exactly what brought me to where I am today!

We often think of Pivotal Moments as large life changing events such as going to college, marriage, giving birth, or the death of a loved one.  In fact these events do change our lives significantly but each of these events is created from a series of smaller moments that often go unobserved.

It is our internal response to specific moments that can shift us profoundly.

Another example of this for me occurred when I was in college.

I was a Syracuse University exchange Student in London the semester leading up to the bombing of Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland.  Many of my friends and most of my fellow students were on the plane that went down just before Christmas.  As defining as this event was to me, it was a few weeks later in the quiet of the night that I experienced a pivotal moment that would change my life.

Attending a memorial service for my friend Lindsey in Baltimore, I spent the weekend with her family.  They of course were anxious to hear about the last six months of her life as back then overseas communication was limited so they knew very little about her last moments on earth.  After an evening of sharing memories with them… being in a sense the voice of their daughter/sister, I said good night.  Shortly after sliding into the bed, in that dreamy state just before sleep, I was startled by a vision of Lindsey sitting on the bed with me.  This was my first experience seeing and hearing a loved one after death.  I was of course a bit uneasy at first but her love and friendship soothed me.  She shared with me a message she needed her family to hear and in the morning I told her family about the experience.  They were both open and grateful to hear of her peace.  This pivotal moment sent me on a journey of exploration and mastery that led to my life as a Spiritual Seer, Teacher and Author.

Consciously embracing the pivotal moments in our lives can profoundly impact our ability to create a fulfilling life.

Here are a few tips to consciously embracing  pivotal moments …

• Silence~ Whether it is meditation, going for a walk or washing the dishes, give yourself at least a few minutes every day to be in silence.  In silence you will naturally review the day and become aware of the subtler moments of insight.
• Journal~ Write down your thoughts even before they are fully formed.  Clarity often comes when we begin to put words to our thoughts.
• Mantra~ Make “I Chose Love Over Fear” your daily mantra.  Tape it to your mirror, your steering wheel, your desk, so that  you remember to interpret the moments in your life from a base of Love.
• Seek the Subtle~ Look beyond the large defining moments of your life to the smaller subtler aspects that surround them. Sometimes we focus so much on the story lines of our lives that we miss the transforming opportunities in front of us.
• Be Present~If you are worrying about the future or longing for the past you will miss the miracles of the moment.  Practice staying focused and present in each moment.  Being in the moment allows you to embrace these pivotal moments when they present themselves.

Are you familiar with the website Tiny Buddha?  On it you’ll find a wonderful blog with more tips for managing change.

What Pivotal Moments have you experienced in your life:  Were they Subtle or Bold?  How have they influenced your life path?

Life presents us with many opportunities to gain mastery in tending our own energy fields. At times we may want to protect ourselves by using energy shields of color, light or angelic presence. Or in order to become more grounded, we may run energy down through our feet or first chakra, rooting ourselves to the earth. Sometimes it’s appropriate to play openly with others in an expansive, flowing state; and at other times, we may want to limit our availability to a chosen few. In certain public environments such as graduation ceremonies, work conventions, or even weddings, it may be important to remain open-hearted and able to connect, while still preventing our individual systems from depletion or overwhelm. In these situations, rather than putting a barrier between ourselves and the world around us, we can fill our energy fields from the inside out. In doing this, we become so filled with our own personal energy that no room is left for outside influences or discordant energy to enter in and affect us.

When you need to connect with people on a one-to-one basis, separate from the bustling environment around you, here is a visualization technique you might try. You can start in the morning and repeat any time as needed. Begin by taking a few moments to breathe deeply and relax. When you are calm and present, envision a ball of light in your solar plexus area just above your belly button. Allow it to build there, growing stronger and stronger. Eventually, allow the light to expand throughout the rest of your body until it fills your entire physical and energetic field.

By filling yourself with your own energy in this way, you become fortified with your own power. You retain access to all of your intuitive and mental abilities. And, you are able to act from a loving space in the midst of any situation.

As human beings we often have a tendency to fight against using our natural gifts. Many stories of success start with an individual who is ignoring the call of his or her inborn abilities. There are many possible reasons for this resistance, from fear that the calling will be too difficult to a disbelief in the very work one is being asked to do. We may feel too small, too distracted by other people’s ideas about what we should do, or too uninformed. Whatever the case, the resistance to actualizing ourselves has very concrete consequences, and many of us have been called out of hiding by an illness or a twist of fate that unequivocally dismantled our resistance. In other the words, the universe knocks, and if we don’t answer it knocks louder.

For example, if you are meant to be a psychic or a medium, and you aren’t using that gift, you may get headaches. If you are meant to be a healer and are trying to be a lawyer, you may have trouble getting or keeping a job. This doesn’t mean that you can’t still be a lawyer, but perhaps integrating your gifts into your work is what is calling you. On the other hand, you may simply feel an underlying anxiety that you are not on the right path, doing the right thing. Pay attention to this feeling, and ask for guidance from the universe, being open to all its communications, from subtle internal yearnings to powerful dreams. As you begin to risk opening the door to your natural gifts, your life situation may shift in a powerful way. However, you may find that small steps in the right direction, such as taking a class or setting aside one night a week to paint or write, is enough for now.

The first step on the journey to our calling in life is to listen to our internal voices and respond to the knocking universe at the door. As we do, the symptoms and anxieties that have haunted us will fade into the background, replaced by opportunities, both big and small, to open the door to what we are truly here to do.

When we were children, few words were more exciting to hear than the phrase “field trip.” Field trips were a break from schoolwork and an opportunity to go on an adventure with friends. Now that we are grown ups, taking a field trip can be just as fun and memorable – if only we were willing to sign our own permission slips so we could go on one.

Allowing yourself to get stuck in your routine can make life seem boring. Adding a touch of variety to your life in the form of a field trip can break up the monotony of your days and lead you to adventure. Unlike the jaunts that were regulated by teachers or monitored by parents, taking a field trip as an adult can lead you anywhere you want. You can go on a daylong retreat or spend just a few hours at your destination. A field trip can be an opportunity to explore a new landscape or discover something about yourself. Taking a day trip to another town or visiting an unfamiliar spot in your neighborhood can be educational and fun. There is also much to be said for finding a beautiful spot under a tree where you can read a book. You can even go to one of your favorite spots and allow yourself to experience it as if you were visiting there for the first time. Going on a field trip is as much a state of mind as it is a change in the scenery.

During a “grown up” field trip, schedules, clocks, and duties are put aside so you can focus wholeheartedly on mindfully enjoying yourself. Planning a field trip can be almost as fun as going on one. A field trip is an excursion to look forward to and an experience to be savored after the fact. Wherever you decide to go and whatever you decide to do, going on a field trip can add much pleasure and excitement to your life.

Hello and good morning, it’s a beautiful day, a God Day. Everyday is a God day and a sunny day even when we have rain, clouds, darkness it’s all light.

Here I Am:

Here I am, on this path of life

To joy, love, and follow thy might

Here I am at the winds of life to flow

To flow and fly and share thy might

Here I am each day, I say

To love and live the great, God way

To love and forgive and share thy light

Here I am

To stand in the dark but see light, you see

All is beauty and blessed we be

Because here I am

To walk with you on the journey it be

All the way to the end, I say

For the end is but beginning anew

And change is all in how you grew

Here I am

On this day, this moment, this life it be

The ups and downs, the twists and turns

But all thy beauty and good it be

For God is with you and me

Here I am

But to see the growth of life it be

To live with the joy you see

Here I am

Yes, not but to the end but  beyond you see

To the life it be and light you see

Love is all of you and me

Blessings and love this day to all,

Dr. Rob

A well-kept home can be compared to a living being in optimal health—it is fueled by intention, thrives when in balance, and relies on the energy of life itself for sustenance. Feng shui, the ancient Chinese art of harmonious placement, describes the living room as the heart of the home. Maintaining the gentle flow of chi, or life energy, is important since it is the home where members of a family and the larger community come together to engage with one another in fellowship. A living room that is organized and decorated in accordance with the balancing principles of feng shui is inviting, encourages relaxation and conversation, and makes all who enter feel content.

All of this can be accomplished by simply changing the physical and aesthetic character of a room. When its flow is blocked by furniture, walls, or doorways, we tend to feel uneasy and become less satisfied with life as a result. Promoting harmony in a home’s living area is simple when it is regarded as both a single, unified space and a collection of smaller regions of space. First, stand in the room’s main doorway to examine your living room as a whole. Look for and clear away clutter— the rightmost side of the room can inspire stability in close personal relationships, while tidying the leftmost side will increase your prosperity potential. Release stagnant energy by orienting chairs and sofas in a ring, veiling harsh angles with plants or ornamental screens, and using other furniture to break up direct pathways. A fireplace that serves as the focal point of the room stimulates passion and openness, while sculptures absorb negativity.

If the structural design of your living room does not allow you to decorate in accordance with the principles of feng shui, there are steps you can take to ensure that balance is nonetheless maintained. Mirrors, fountains, chimes, crystals, and aquariums all redirect the flow of chi, while also attracting luck, abundance, and peace. Adding warm colors such as pinks and reds to the living room can be curative even when no other changes are feasible. It does not matter how large or small your living room is, nor how fancy or plain. Address the energy needs of the heart of your home, and you will find your home as a whole is soon imbued with a new harmoniousness that manifests itself indelibly in your existence.

Sometimes we may feel like there is just too much we need to do. Feeling overwhelmed may make it seem like the universe is picking on us, but the opposite is true: we are only given what we can handle. Difficult situations are opportunities to be our best selves, hone our skills and rise to the occasion.

The best place to start is to take a deep breath. As you do, remind yourself that the universe works in perfect order and therefore you can get everything done that needs to get done. As you exhale, release all the details that you have no control over. The universe with it‘s infinite organizing power will orchestrate the right outcome. Anytime stress begins to creep up, remember to breathe through it with these thoughts.

Then, make a list of everything you need to do. Note what needs to be done first, and mark the things others may be able to do for you or with you. Though we often think no one else can do it correctly or well, there are times when it is worth it to exhale, let go of our control, and ask for help from professionals or friends. With the remaining things that feel you must do yourself, take another breath and determine their true importance. Sometimes they are things we’d like to do, but aren’t really necessary. After taking these quick steps, you will find you have a plan laid out, freeing you from frenzied thoughts circling in your head. With calming deep breaths, you are now free to focus more fully on our priorities. Herbal teas or flower remedies along with wise choices about caffeine and food can help keep us from becoming frantic too. But with nothing further from us than our breath, we can breathe in our best intentions and let the rest go with an exhale. Keeping ourselves centered and breathing into and through life’s challenges helps us learn what we are truly capable of doing, and we will find we have the ability to rise to any occasion. Remember you aren’t being picked on, and you are never alone.
