Intentions are wonderful things, and we usually genuinely mean them when we make or have them. Once we have made an intention, we feel good about ourselves, and it gives us an uplift.
Perhaps at that moment we can see things more clearly. However, life is life, and often things get in the way, and we don’t or can’t always fulfil our intentions. Time also may make us think or feel that perhaps those intentions were not as significant as we had initially thought.
Often our intentions are made either by emotional or mental reactions to a situation. The keyword here is ‘reaction’. In the main, we tend to react to situations from the lower chakras, the root, sacral or solar plexus. Therefore, depending on how we are developing and unfolding those chakras, we are in a sense reacting from the lessons that we have learned (or in some cases have yet to learn) as we travel along those chakras. We are reacting from our desires, sensations, our need to survive, our emotions. We react to those around us, to situations and the challenges we face.
However, as we travel along the spiritual path – the journey of the Soul over many lifetimes, we start unfolding and developing spiritual qualities along the chakras, raising our consciousness higher and higher, reaching the higher spiritual chakras, i.e. the heart chakra, the throat, the brow and eventually the crown. As we reach upwards and unfold those soul lessons on a higher scale, the Light within us shines brighter and brighter and we get to a stage where our reactions come from the higher spiritual chakras and not the lower. The purpose of life is to eventually spiritualise all the chakras so that it becomes one Wholeness of Light. We bring spirit (Light) down into matter (body).
As we unfold and develop those spiritual qualities along the path of the Soul, our understanding of ourselves grows and therefore, we place a higher emphasis and become more conscious of our responsibilities, on our reactions and our intentions. This greater awareness and development enable us to recognise that we are much more than just a physical body. We are body, soul and spirit. Most importantly, we recognise and acknowledge the Light within. The Light within enables us to react to life’s challenges with more maturity, more understanding and wisdom. We see the bigger picture and not just what affects us personally. We know that we are all part of the One Life, the Wholeness and that our decisions affect not just ourselves but others.
Light is our natural Self. Light enables us to see and think clearly. Light illuminates our thoughts and raises our consciousness, our feelings to another vibrational level. Light is our authentic Self. It is who we are. No one can take your Light away. We are all aware of the many conflicts, chaos and crisis that surrounds us, in our own nations and worldwide. We are conscious that we want to help. Some can be out there giving whatever aid they can. But others, for different reasons are physically unable to go out and help. So, what else can we do?
We can work with the Light. We can project that Light to the whole world. Visualise the globe of the earth – see the earth enfolded by Light. Do not allow pessimistic or negative thinking to come into this. No need to think of any crisis or conflict. Your consciousness is raised higher and above conflict and chaos. Let us see Planet Earth raised in consciousness higher and higher.
Light is the most powerful force in the Universe. Light illuminates. Light enlightens. It makes all things clear. With this clarity we can make wise decisions, intentions and, we can heal. We can heal ourselves and we can heal others with our Light.
In Light we can continue our journey, lighting the path for ourselves and for others.
Our Light can heal, can lighten the load and above all can take us deeper into the world beyond, bringing strength, power and the greater understanding that Light is Love.
So, allow your Light to shine. Hold the Earth in Light. Put your Light on all situations, challenges and see how life will change for you.
Make Light your Intention and allow yourselves to shine brightly.
