WHY YOU MUST LEARN TO FLOW LIKE THE RIVER TO FLOURISH IN LIFE
Mar 1900:15:18Tap to summarizeThere's a river in each of us that knows no boundaries. The image of water provides an outward reflection of our inner self. Like the surging power of a rapidly flowing river, life can be unpredictable without knowing where it may lead. However, we have the innate capacity to navigate change with grace and ease. This requires faith and trust in ourselves and knowing that we are on the right path for forwarding movement. The sustainer of life, water is a gift of nature that nourishes our entire well being. Associated with qualities of ever-changing emotions, feelings and intutition, going inward we can connect to our true selves and embrace change. Marked by ancient and traditional ceremonies around the world and integrated with other forms of healing, meditations and blessings, our sacred connection to water nurtures our collective spirit. Water inititation rituals support our life's journey by surrendering to what we do not know and taking us just where we need to be. During the time spent in the Himalayas, immersed in nature and surrounded by breathtaking views, majestic mountains, pristine rivers and waterfalls, my mind, body and soul were refereshed. Keenly observing the rivers flowing downstream, gently washing over obstacles and meandering around rocks embedded in the stream, nothing stopped the natural flow. Taking time for journaling and self-reflection, I became one with the river and felt a profound sense of serentity. When we are out of the flow, we feel dammed up, stagnant, and out of balance resulting in stress and anxiety. When we are in sync, like the flow of the river, we trust our decisions and know that we are divinely guided. Water consciousness has a deep symbolic meaning that shows us the dynamic fludidity of nature moving through cycles, rhythms, and patterns representing change and transformation. Connect with the sacred flow of the river to be healthier, happier and more creative. Flourish like the river to achieve clarity, patience, freedom, goodness, and endurance as you move forward on your path to achieve the life you desire. Dr. Jean Marie highlights each. Our Love In Action practice is twofold. Reflect and journal on challenges you faced and overcame. What did you learn? How did you grow? What was the outcome. How are you all the better for it. Build on the lessons and the blessings. Next, reflect and journal on what you are trying to hold on to and control that you need to let go. Why are you holding on? How can you love yourself more, surrender and release the reins of control?

FINDING YOURSELF
Feb 2600:18:35Tap to summarizeCan I really be lost? What detoured me from my path? How can I get back on track? Findng yourself is an ongoing journey of self-discovery that can ultimately lead to self-mastery. It takes a great deal of self-trust, self-discipline, self-confidence and courage to follow your own path. The voices of others influence how we think, what to believe, and how to behave. Some of those voices, established very early in life, may be positive and negative. The negative ones derail us and are often remembered most. Unfortunately, the struggle to conform, based on fear of being ridiculed, rejected and alienated, inevitably takes priority over our heartfelt desires. Abandoning ourselves, we become frustrated with self-imposed limitations. Furthermore, on the human plane, we lose connection with our true self. As you endeavor on your life's journey, alone time is necessary to get to know yourself. The adventure of self-discovery can be challenging. However, it is an opportunity to experience a deeper spiritual connection as we forge ahead. Self-mastery keeps us from being steered off course by becoming more confident, courageous and resilient. We can find ourselves by living from the heart, fulfilling your passion and potential, practicing silence and stillness, learning from relationships, and attuning to nature. Dr. Jean Marie highlights each. Our Love In Action Practice is to reflect and journal on the roads less traveled and what you discovered about yourself along the way. Also, reflect on experiences staying in the comfort zone walking the same path. What are your beliefs that keep you from branching out.

HOW TO CELEBRATE YOURSELF
Feb 1900:16:05Tap to summarizeWhat does it feel like when you celebrate yourself? What dreams have you realized? How do you rejoice in your accomplishments? We often celebrate after reaching significant milestones at particular points in time or waiting until we achieve some distant future goal, without realizing the small steps taken that move us forward on our life's journey. The marks of celebration can be at any time and every day for any good reason in the process of self-discovery. Through transitional phases of our lives such as health challenge, relationship changes, or geographic moves, we may become so immersed in the challenge without recognizing how much we have overcome.

BE TRUE TO YOURSELF
Feb 1300:14:47Tap to summarizeOur lives emcompass all kinds of adaptations, adjustments and accommodations. Influenced by social networks and illusive standards of success and happiness, our identity and behavior can be ever changing. The need for approval, to fit in and be accepted, can be exhausting by the diffent roles played in various settings. Living up to external expectations such as maintaining a suitable image and being excessively ambitious, can result in losing yourself. Ambition ignites creativity and innovation, but in excess, can be detrimental. Healthy ambition helps us maintain balance and allow natural unfoldment. Life is experienced through the lens of core beliefs, which are assumptions about ourselves, others, and outlook on life. These beliefs, some formed during early childhood, may be limiting and do not reflect the truth of who we really are. Our true self is obscured by external identities and limiting beliefs that should be exposed, acknowledged and transformed. Our true, authentic self, is unchanging and the moral compass that guides our thoughts, feelings and behaviors resulting in satisfactory outcomes. Being tue to yourself is living by your own standards and not compromising your moral values nor worrying about what others think. Do what really matters and what is really important. You can be true to yourself by knowing your worth, acknowledging your feelings, nurturing your inner child and developing your support system. Dr. Jean Marie highlights each. Our Love In Action Practice focuses on knowing your worth and being in integrity with yourself. Pay attention to what makes you feel comfortable and uncomfortable. Our true feelings can be guiding forces. For example, if you are given a task that compromises your integrity, how does it make you feel? Explore your feelings. Do you feel conflict or strife? Do you move forward making a decision to honor the request even though you have doubts or do you honor your truth? Take time to give thought before responding. Conside rappropriate responses and reflect on the possible outcomes. What response makes you feel good about yourself?

LOVING AND CARING FOR OURSELVES IS LOVING AND CARING FOR OTHERS
Feb 600:17:13Tap to summarizeWhat will happen to me as I age? Who will care for me? How can I not be a burden to others? How can I get the most out of my life each day? It is our personal responsibility to love and care for ourselves. As we love and care for ourselves, we gracefully reciprocate to others. Our human society is interdependent and as humans, we cannot live and act in isolation. Healthy and complementary relationships help us thrive and enhance the quality of our lives. Life circumstances are unpredictable, and we never know when we may need the support of others or be in a position to give support to others. Caregiving can be stressful due to emotional, mental, and physical srain. If we complain and regard ourselves as a burden, it causes difficulty and hardship. If we are neglectful of our own self-care, we set up a challenge for those who have to care for us in the event we cannot care for ourselves. Within the realm of our capacity to care for ourselves, it is essential to practice a healthy lifestyle to maximize personal well-being throughout our lives. This means reframing from destructive habits detrimental to our physical well-being, changing negative self-defeating thoughts that inhibit quality living and managing our emotions to maintain satisfying relationships. As we age, it is hoped that we become wiser and more thoughtful of ourselves and others. When we are compassionate, considerate, and cultivate loving qualities, we become beautiful people to to aaround. Whether we are the giver or receiver of support, we must take care of ourselves in order to take care of others. Loving and caring for ourselves are mutually reciprocal and complimentary acts achieved by: Being healthy, peaceful, generous, and grateful for challenges. Dr. Jean Marie highlights each.

4 UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLES FOR CONSCIOUS LOVING
Jan 3000:16:35Tap to summarizeLove influences the consciousness of individuals and impacts society and the world at large. Achieving the highest level of consciousness is to live in the vibration of love, our natural state of being. As a result of our current world challenge and problems witnessed daily, we have an opportunity to enter a new era of evolution. Now, we are discerning what life is all about and what really matters. We are sorting out deep conditioned beliefs and society values that no longer reflect who we are nor serve our highest good. Love is fundamental to human existence. However, fear-based prejudices and attitudes have shaped our worldview and perceptions of ourselves. This reality is different from the reality of love. Despite our need for human bonding and social connection, our prison of suffering is created by separation, ignorance and injustice. It's time to discard outworn beliefs, become free, and raise our consciousness to the vibration of love. As referenced, love is the solution to our problems, but it is also our greatest challenge. Love is the light that shines in our hearts, the doorway to inner peace, path to Oneness, and the lamp that guides our way forward. Therefore, the meaning of love extends far beyond expressions of mere sentiments and objects of love. It is the ultimate driver of our lives. Conscious loving can be achieved by Loving yourself, Living your potential, Loving wholeheartedly, and Living by higher ideals. Dr. Jean Marie highlights each. Our Love In Action Practice is to explore whether or not you are living your potential and being and doing what you love. Are you staying in your comfort zone? Are you living your potential?

HOW TO SEEK TRUTH AND WHY IT IS IMPORTANT
Jan 2300:21:40Tap to summarizeThe knowledge of truth is empowering and guides us to an ethical manner of living and being in the worldand guides us to purposeful living. Truth is the symbol of light and love. We are shaped by our values and beliefs that may be questioned as we become more self-aware and may find ourselves on a quest for truth to make sense of our mortal existence. Truth, defined in the Cambridge dictionary, is the quality of honesty and not containing or telling lies. Truth is important and frees us from ignorance, corruption and needless suffering. Loss of freedom is evident in misinformation and lack of truth that impinge on our personal freedom. In today's time, we are confronted with the traps of untruths that infiltrate organizations, media and other establishments and influence our beliefs and interactions with others. It leads to deceit, damaged reputations and decreased trust. Many are seeking justice and human dignity worldwide because of corruption, greed and lack of compassion. Unfortunately, we witness leadership motivated by intense craving for power and greed that lead to self-destruction and harm to others. The self-centeredness and excessive longing for acquistion and material gain at any cost, may be the result of maladaptive behaviors and unresolved feelings that cannot be fulfilled outwardly. This behavior is demonstrated in all facets of socity where truth is sacrificed for personal favors and gain with no regard for human welfare. Truth always prevail. Seek, hear, learn and love it. Truthfulness matters to society as a whole and enables us to grow and learn from life experiences. Truth can be achieved by the following five strategies: Be sincere, Adopt a critical thinking mindset, Be your own yardstick, Keep a healthy balance and Live your truth. Dr. Jean Marie highlights each. Our 'Love In Action Practice' practice is to live your truth. Journal on your beliefs and values. How do they make you feel? How are you living? What are you saying? Are you congruent with what you say and how you act? Be the observer of yourself. Engage in healthy and gentle self-correction and see where it takes you.

Jan 1600:13:45Tap to summarizeIn all fractions of society, we witness those flauting privilege and entitlement with a deisre for special treatment and benefits. Being self-absorbed without regard for others and blinded by their true essence, self-worth is exaggerated with an insatiable desire for more. Often at the core, many are battling feelings of insecurity and lack of self-confidence that cannot be fillled with material possessions or recognition. This insensistivity to others magnifies injustice and breeds envy, resentment and violence with demands for equality and justice. We all have the desire to live well and experience the best of life. Beyond that which is bestowed upon us by mortal beings is the spiritual privilege that is our diving birthright. Aside from the common views of society, on a higher level, spiritual privilege is endowed and inherent in each person and does not have to be sought after, earned, or approved by others. It does not come from our parents, job, or group membership but directly from Divine Source. Action springing from this identity provides real freedom, stability, and security that sustain us regardless of life circumstances. When we feel spiritually privileged, we know who we truly are and our source of infinite supply. Being in communiom iwth our spiritual self, the realization of worthiness as our divine birthright is apparent through self-mastery, humility, service and gratitude. Dr. Jean Marie highlights each.
