DAY 3 / NEXT 100 DAYS OF LOVE | SEEK TO BE STILL

  • Sep 21, 2022

Updated: Nov 27, 2024

SEEK TO BE STILL

Let everything reveal itself exactly as it is exercising your inner musculature of not doing, not questioning -- and just being. Stillness precedes manifestation.


Take a moment to go inward, opening to a vision of your life as yet unexperienced, a vision for something born of pure wisdom of one who knows nothing, a vision that awaits the simple, quiet act of becoming absolutely still in the complete presence of love. Seek only to find perfect stillness, remaining in quiet gratitude no matter what presents itself.

AWAKEN: YOU SPOT IT YOU GOT IT

We value giving and receiving love and actively use the wonderful USPS to share uplifting messages. What you see in others, you have within you. We are, by nature, projectors, we see ourselves in another, it is called shadow work. In a healthy foundational well life you are riding the ups and downs in a constantly transforming wholeness pattern., If you have been through something, you have wisdom and you are able to provide insight how you made it through to others. If you have extra energy and can give it, why not pay it forward. If you need energy, find new loving ways to ask the right people for the help.

@RealDepressionproject shared by Viola Davis

REMEMBER: EXPERIMENTS WITH STILLNESS LEAD TO EXPERIENCE

Developing the musculature of being requires you gain experience by doing, of practicing ways to be still. Another way to say it, You don't know until you have gone through it. You can always choose again. In stillness you have access to your intuition that knows what it wants you to learn, what it wants you to participate in to meet the people you are here to meet to do the work you are here to do. Find your stillness and listen.



When you practice today's principle of love and you truly seek to be still, you stop the world as it was, entering the present. As you begin to tune into your inner stillness the world shifts and you create an invitation. You invite a miracle. As we often discuss in the work of love, a miracle is a shift in perception from fear to love.

FOUNDATIONAL HEALTH AND WELLNESS AFFIRMATION

Don't wait for permission to express yourself, your inner power, your voice. Now is always the time. Our soul's code revels in the fullest expression of our brave heart. As we recognize the perfect presence within ourselves the purest medicine pours from us as our loving offering to the world in an unending interconnected chain of grace. Sharing from this place of perfect stillness aligns us with our sacred purpose.


Affirm It

I have a beautiful vision for my life.


PRAYER'S OF THE HEART

May today bring you the sweet silence of your inner Tahiti. May you grow in your ability to sit, quietly with joy and patience, knowing everything is waiting. May you know peace.


WISDOM

"Stillness is vital to the world of the soul. If as you age you become more still, you will discover that stillness can be a great companion.

The fragments of your life will have time to unify, and the places where your soul-shelter is wounded or broken will have time to knit and heal. You will be able to return to yourself. In this stillness, you will engage your soul.

Many people miss out on themselves completely as they journey through life. They know others, they know places, they know skills, they know their work, but tragically, they do not know themselves at all.

Aging can be a lovely time of ripening when you actually meet yourself, indeed maybe for the first time. There are beautiful lines from T. S. Eliot that say:

'And the end of all our exploring Will be to arrive where we started And know the place for the first time.'"

~John O'Donohue


LOVE ACTIVISM 💚🌱✨

Beware unrecognized beliefs. The lie lives in your belief and if you carry too many lies, you may come up against depression. The Depression Project opens space to consider the possibilities, to create understanding and to hold space for care and support. Two brothers demonstrate the power of healing your way through. They have a new book coming out, perhaps it might be of interest in helping you find a way to the light blue sky through the clouds. https://store.thedepressionproject.com/products/this-is-how-you-overcome-depression--ebook?sc_ref=6onaZHEglrJmWAC8


Enjoy each breath.

DAY 2 / NEXT 100 DAYS OF LOVE | FIRST, DO NO HARM

  • Sep 20, 2022
  • 3 min read

Updated: Nov 27, 2024

PRIMUM NON NOCERE “FIRST, DO NO HARM”

There is a garden growing and flourishing brilliantly within the ground of your being utilizing divine intelligence symbiotically blossoming in service to the highest expression of who you are. This garden is nourished by Love.


In every interaction, in every circumstance, align yourself with the principle of loving service to “first do no harm.” Upon further review in the Greek text ὠφελέειν ή μὴ βλάπτειν (not perfectly translated into Latin as primum non nocere - first do no harm) is a passage from the Hippocratic treatise on Epidemics "In illnesses one should keep two things in mind, to be useful (in service), rather than cause no harm." A shift in thinking and an important distinction. Be of useful service in your days, remain alive to consider the possibilities what actions you could undertake.

Day 2 NEXT 100 Heart Art. Start Something Loving.

AWAKEN: WHAT YOU SEEK, YOU FIND

In practicing community based loving service, sharing our gifts, what you have energy to do, you build the worlds of connection and collaboration. Here a youngster reads to a local senior center. This youngster saw something he could do, perhaps one day he becomes a master storyteller. Who knows. Through his kindness the world is made more whole, more loving and more true. Who knows what wonderful effects reading to a group of local seniors might have, to create safe havens of shared loving, to inspire others to engage their heart, for all of us to work in subtle and powerful ways for our neighborhoods.

Loving Story shared by Ian Addison

REMEMBER: HAVING AN IDEA IS NO SOLUTION, EVERYTHING DEPENDS ON EXECUTION.

The art of making art, is putting it together. These words from Stephen Sondheim from the beautiful Sunday in the Park with George tell the story of running through the finish line of completion. Don't stop. Keep on going.


When you practice today's principle of love - first do no harm - you strengthen your ability to move in the world. When you are in useful service the very fabric of structure melts away, giving you grace, through the love you put in action.

FOUNDATIONAL HEALTH AND WELLNESS AFFIRMATION

Miracles happen every day, in every way. Miracles are shifts in perception from fear to love as love heals our perceptions as alignment with the vision of the heart.Fear is the illness as referenced in spiritual texts, as the "I" of the separated self. Love is the wellness of the 'We' as a connection to beloved community. Enjoy the ways you can easily join in, by shifting your POV, by aligning in love.





You are in good company during these next100 days of love. Together, we are writers, directors, photographers, musicians, activists, teachers, healers, counselors, guides, coaches, entrepreneurs, visionaries, communicators and artists committed to the necessary care and work for these times we find ourselves in.





PRAYER'S OF THE HEART

May you know you are safe, you are not alone and you are always loved.


LOVE ACTIVISM 💚🌱✨

Have you every wondered what good ideas, big hearts and putting focus on areas that need the most healing work will do. The work of Partners in Health has always been an inspiration. In honor of one of the guiding lights of the work that heals and reconnects, Paul E. Farmer, has been entrusted baring his name, to the organization to give them 25 plus years of operational capital to continue the much needed care, education and foundational support required in the form of a $200M Scholarship Fund to Educate Health Care Leaders in Africa. Grateful to see this investment.



Love, Mel

ree

For the next 100 days...


I am going to consider the possibility that there is another way. I won't talk about war, I will feel peace. I won't talk about what isn't working.

I will experience what is. I won't complain about what people don't do.

I will appreciate what they do. Cura Et Labore "with care and work" I am going to allow myself to be uplifted. And. Be willing to see change. In a new light. In what's remembered.


WHAT IS THE NEXT 100 DAYS OF LOVING THOUGHT?


Every morning we send you a loving message and an affirmation. Every morning we awaken into conscious awareness for the NEXT 100 days. Together we co-create a field of loving possibilities. We choose love. Give yourself or a loved on an opportunity to deeply connect where divine love and wisdom meet. Allow your inner power, grace and ease to cultivate the conditions of a renaissance of the heart. It is about giving and receiving love as a way of being.


This year is different for many reasons. 10 years is a decade. It is a long time and no time at all. We have an opportunity, a moment in time, this breath, to become our most loving expression. We have the invitation to experience who we truly are in love's bright, enveloping love. Right now.


Consider the Possibility.


We are being asked to listen, to reflect, to ask questions, to look up from our addictions to what was and allow the present moment to offer its medicine, to open our heart vision, to expand our foundational health and wellness in a process of daily care and work for what is most loving, most necessary and essential for our growth and to invite the future to be something whole different. Something magnificent.


Yes. We provide instruction and guidance. Yes. We offer community care and mutual aid through the process. Yes. Everyday We choose love. This isn't a test, there is no right or wrong, left or right, it is the purest offering of love as a way forward, to ignite something, to make a shift in perception from fear to love, and to quite beautifully receive love, all the love. Love...
