Eighteenth Invitation

Healing Heart Communications, Inc. www.devajoy.net Our Circle Expands! "Dharmic Living" Gathering in Community February Newsletter for 2014 ~~ “Dharmic Living” I am blessed to be witness to many people in their deepest feelings, thoughts and “unfoldments”. It is a possibility that what I am seeing in my circle is also what the greater population of folks might be feeling. Here is what I am noticing: There is a sense of how fast time is moving. (Even young people are saying this to me.) There is a sense of urgency to live out what is inside, to get clear on what is true and not true, and to not waste time.  There is a conviction to show up fully. There is a drive to be our best selves, to make a difference and "to get it right". Not in a critical parent way, but rather, in a dharmic way.     (Dharma translates to mean the path of right action. I also refer to it as the alignment of action, heart and soul.)  Do you resonate with this? Is this true for you as well? And if so, do you know yourself well enough to know what is true and not true for you? Are you spending enough quality inner time with yourself to honor what your truth is? Quality inner time does not mean being a captive audience to the blah blah blah of the mind. Rather, it comes when we are not distracted with running around with the endless list of things to do. When quiet enough, still enough, and in the moment without story, there is a softening and opening, a sense of reverence , a connection, and the whispering voice of compassion. Are you allowing this in your life? In our January Tribal Time Gathering, I invited self-inquiry with questions. These are not simple questions to read through quickly in the middle of scanning all of your emails. They will not serve you unless you take time with them at one of those quiet times you are having with yourself. I share them with you. They are important questions to ask, sit with, and to listen to. (Journaling really works for questions like these.) Here they are: How can you experience more kindness with yourself? What qualities or attributes are developed within you that help you to meet the unexpected? Unexpected things happen each year.  This we all know to be true.  At the end of the year, each year, in December, so many times we may ask, "Who would have ever guessed this or that would have happened?" What qualities or attributes would you like to see strengthened within you this coming year? Visualize yourself in December 2014:  What do you want for yourself?  How has the “you in December 2014” deepened, expanded and grown?  What would you like to see happen for yourself?  Now write this in present tense as if you are in December 2014 and this is true. For a moment, pretend that this is your last year embodied in this form that you are in...And I mean, truly PRETEND! What is most important for you to live out? What changes as you manifest? Who do you need to see? Who do you need to spend time with? Who do you need to spend less time with? What falls away? What becomes your focus? What is a "MUST" for you? Take your time with deepening with this question. Now, step into this one: Time is Eternal. There is no death, no beginnings; only cycles, only the continual, non-ending consciousness. Try this on. If you held this as true, what changes for you? How does this impact your living? Take time with these questions.  I know that I am. Any "re-routing" needed?
