[Barbara's Daily Message] Connections

Everyone benefits from being positively connected to others
But it is even more important for those living in the light
As we are more prone to energy imbalances
Stable connections to others supports the soul and our energy
And gives a stable base to build from
If needed, you can ask the light for connections with calm centred people to help build your stable base.

[Barbara's Daily Message] Are you an Adrenalin Junkie?

We all know of adrenalin junkies who go on adventures and do ultimate challenges such as climbing Mount Everest or jumping out of aeroplanes.
But many of us are daily adrenalin junkies
Adrenalin kicks in when we get stressed, anxious or overloaded
It gives us the opportunity to push our limits and drive for deadlines
Or become a hero by pulling out the stops to solve some work problem
But we can get used to the "high" experience
And it becomes normal for us
But long term exposure to adrenalin is like any other drug
It ruins lives
Stops you living so you drag yourself through life
Do something important for yourself and your family and friends
Adopt a calm and relaxed lifestyle so you can be your true self.

[Barbara's Daily Message] Spirit of Love

We are all connected at our soul level
Our growth ripples out to collective consciousness
And builds positive energy in the universe
We can positively impact on our collective conscious
And build our communities
Through sharing love, compassion and fun (all positive interactions)
And sending it out to the universe.

[Barbara's Daily Message] Generosity of Spirit

It is easy to get on with people you know and like
But what about the ones you don't know and don't like?
Being generous with your spirit with others
Is about reaching out and connecting with others on a spiritual basis
When it feels appropriate
We usually forget this connection on an everyday basis
But those who are open to this channel will appreciate the connection
And a reminder that their are others open to this perspective.

[Barbara's Daily Message] Recovering Emotional Energy

When we are worrying, feeling under pressure or feeling nervous
We can become very tired
And feel emotionally drained afterwards
Remember to regularly take time to relax
To do nothing and just breathe
To recover your energy and zest for life!

[Barbara's Daily Message] Simplicity

[Barbara's Daily Message] Love or Hate Yourself

What is going on in your head?

How do you speak to yourself?

With hate, having a go at yourself for not being perfect or making mistakes?

Or with love and compassion, supporting and encouraging yourself

If you want to share love and be compassionate with others

How can you expect to do do this if you are treating yourself with animosity?

Instead, remember to treat yourself with love and compassion as you would others.

[Barbara's Daily Message] Living Life

We are here for our souls to grow through learning and having experiences

In living we create a past and look to the future

Our past has made us who we are today

But our future is unwritten

Choose to live life, be grateful for living, learn from and value experiences whether good or bad

And remember, live life today as you want your future to be.

[Barbara's Daily Message] Pay Forward

Today is just a day in our lives

As were the many previous hundreds

But the life you have today, love it or hate it, is the result of all your previous decisions and choices

Once you can recognise that your actions today build your future tomorrow

You can channel your decisions and choices towards a better future

Live each day building a brighter future for yourself and the world.

[Barbara's Daily Message] Payback time?

We all know the term "payback"

Often referred to as a negative consequence "payback time"

However as a concept it is also positive - give and you will receive - is also payback

One of these paybacks builds the world and keeps it going round, the other deteriorates and slows everything down

Live life with a giving mindset

Be content with giving and know when you most need it your positive payback time will come.

[Barbara's Daily Message] Being In Touch

Since when did we commit to doing everything yesterday?
Staying connected, staying alert and staying active
Technology, activity, achievement are not the be all and end all of everything
They are ways of helping us live our lives better
Except they seem to have become ends in their own right
Unfortunately, the impact of this is on us, our families, our relationships and our communities
While it is fantastic to be in touch with everyone around the world
Regularly put the toys (computers, laptops, iPads, phones etc.) back in the toy box
And be in touch with the person next to you and the people and communities around you.

[Barbara's Daily Message] Healing Balance

Doctors don't heal the sick
They help our bodies to heal themselves
By reducing the negative forces in the healing balance
And allowing the positive forces to win through
The same is said of ourselves
We burn our candle at both ends and wonder why we get ill
We need to take a different kind of action
To maintain our healing balance
When we've overdone things
The healing balance is rest and recovery
Do this to stay strong and healthy

Barbara x

[Barbara's Daily Message] Stay in Touch with Humanity

Ever watched the news on the TV

So many difficult situations brought to our awareness

Its easy to switch off to the pain and suffering of others

Because we can't take action to make it stop

But there is something we can do

Stay in touch with humanity

Acknowledge what is happening is wrong

And take action:

- send love and compassion to the leaders and peoples of the involved parties

- send love and healing energy to the injured or those suffering

And know that your actions will slowly help to show a path to peace and joy.

[Barbara's Daily Message] Living without Judgement

Judgement of people, things and events puts barriers between ourselves and everyone and everything else

Judgement keeps our own world intact

But disconnects us from the real world

And prevents us learning and moving along our path

Living without judgement comes from compassion for others, their choices and experiences

We are all different, not only by our DNA but also from our life experiences and choices

Suspend judgement and put a toe in the water of accepting things and people the way they are

Treat yourself and others with compassion, welcome new experiences, make different choices and see where your journey takes you.

Be connected to our relationships

- with others: friends and family

- with our communities

And stay grounded day in day out.

[Barbara's Daily Message] Keeping Perspective

If you are having a tough day

Remember it will pass

When we keep our focus on the things still to do

We reinforce our stress and anxiety

When we change our perspective by looking beyond ourselves

Focusing on the important relationships and people in our lives

And remembering that whatever it is usually won't matter in the coming weeks or months

Enables us to detach ourselves from what is going on and recover

Choose perspective and detachment to manage the tough days

[Barbara's Daily Message] What is living?

We are so used to living in the fast lane

Trying to get somewhere else as soon as possible

Is this living?

What if living was building experiences

An experience of where we are

And of journeys with the purpose of having experiences

Rather than collecting them

Living the simple life is not getting rid of the modern conveniences and returning to basic meagre living

It is returning to and grounding ourselves in simple, honest values of people and the world around us

And carrying these values with us whatever we do.

[Barbara's Daily Message] Restoring Balance

How do you know you are out of balance?

Feeling tired or out of sorts?

Having too much focus on certain areas of your life or neglecting others?

If you are out of balance, how do you restore balance?

Look at areas of your life and yourself that either feel neglected or out of balance

Then look at what you could do (or stop doing) to rebalance or create time to attend to an area

Pick the idea(s) that you think best and try them out

If they work keep them up, try more as you need to.

[Barbara's Daily Message] Mental Balance

Today, our daily lives and experiences have such a significant mental focus

Whether we spend time using a computer, learning, working, watching tv

We spend such a large part of our lives inside our heads we've forgotten the rest of ourselves

How often do we forget to eat, drink or go to the toilet until we get a "loud" physical reminder (hunger, thirst or toilet need)?!

Bring balance back to our day

By taking breaks focusing on our other areas:

Physical - walks, exercise, moving

Spiritual - meditation, contemplation, prayer

Emotional - connecting with friends and family, walks in nature, having new experiences

Try to do one of these everyday.

[Barbara's Daily Message] Emotional Balance

Emotionally balanced and steady

How often are we this way? More often we end up:

Tired and tearful

Competitive and distant

Stressed and angry

Do you want your life to be different?

Do you want to move from daily distress towards:

Calm and relaxation

Peace and contentment

Joy and compassion

Then remember to be kind to yourself and others

Give yourself permission to look after yourself

Support your emotional self daily with calming and centering activities such as meditation, tai chi, yoga, nature walks

To achieve and maintain your emotional balance.

[Barbara's Daily Message] Self Balance

It is relatively easy for us to look at what we are doing or not doing in the real world

And then decide what we want to do or learn next

It is much harder to look at our internal world:

- how we feel

- what we believe and

- our interactions with ourselves and others

And work out how these are stopping us living in the light

We can open ourselves up and connect our internal and external worlds

To bring living with love, compassion, peace, joy and truth into our daily activities and actions.

[Barbara's Daily Message] Physical Balance

To be in good physical health

Requires us to be healthy across all areas of ourselves and our lives

To be balanced we need to bring consistency to our physical activities

The old adage is true: use it or lose it

Take time in your week to:

- Do enough exercise

- Maintain flexibility and range of our joints

- Be active: walk 10000 steps a day

- Have a healthy diet and maintain your weight at a reasonable level.

And enjoy more energy and zest for life.

[Barbara's Daily Message] Live in Balance with the Light

Being a being of light and

Living each day with love, compassion, peace, joy and truth takes practice

To do this we need to be in balance

Being out of balance

Makes being loving, compassionate, peaceful, joyful and truthful more difficult for us

Take time each day to connect with the light (just think about the light and be with it) to stay in spiritual balance.

[Barbara's Daily Message] Being In Balance

Are you in balance?

Do you know what balance means?

Everyone assumes balance means an even distribution, such as 50:50

Work-life balance is assumed 50:50 but this isn't true

Based on awake hours its really 35:65

So only 35% of your time is for working!

What if balance was more like keeping something in a steady position or steady situation

What impact would this concept have on how you view life?

It would let you make different decisions and more centered choices that support you and others

Become more balanced by becoming more steady.

[Barbara's Daily Message] Be Satisfied II

How do feel satisfied with life?

Getting positive feedback from others?

Buying a nice house or car?

Receiving compliments or appreciation for what you've done?

All these measures are external, subject to outside achievements and the perception of others

It makes us feel insecure as our sense of self is based on others opinions, thoughts and comments

To gain a strong sense of self we need to focus on creating supportive, realistic and positive internal measures of ourselves:

"I did a good job/my best"

"I like/value what I did"

"I achieved my goal"

Giving ourselves genuine positive feedback for what we've done well helps us recognise when we have done well

And continually builds a strong sense of self esteem

Start giving yourself genuine positive feedback today!

[Barbara's Daily Message] Be Satisfied I

How do you define success in your life?

Achieving your goals?

Making enough money?

Getting a particular job or promotion?

Winning a competition?

Have you noticed that when you achieve one of your goals that the personal satisfaction gained is short lived?

We jump straight to the next goal as if our achievement is never enough

Could it really be that achieving our goals is unfulfilling? No

More likely we have adopted a permanently dissatified view of life

What we need to do is to review what we have and really learn to "count our blessings" and be satisfied with what we already have

Enjoy the goals and journeys but most of all be satisfied with what you have now.
