Isis' Message of the Day -
"Beloved ones, open your hearts, open your minds
and find it within yourself to love and accept yourself as you Truly Are, not as you appear to be, as you have created yourself
to be. If you are unhappy with your life as it stands right now, then begin to create a new life."

 The Path and Art of Being by Jennifer Hoffman
=======================
If someone asks us who we are we often respond
with a description of what we do-we're an artist, writer, musician, teacher, parent, counselor, etc. It's very hard, if not
impossible, to describe ourselves without including something about what we do in the world because this is how people can
connect to and understand us. It's also how we connect with and understand ourselves because we know ourselves as humans by
what we do. Imagine someone's reaction if we said "I'm a divine spiritual being having a human experience." While that is
what we are, in the material world it doesn't say a whole lot. In the 3D world what we do describes who we are but there is
a way to arrive at a state of balance and integrity, becoming wholly ourselves.
The way we merge our human and spiritual natures
is to combine our being and doing in a way that allows our being to lead what we do so that what we do is perfectly aligned
with our being. There are two aspects to this process that we often miss and that's why so often we do what enables us to
survive, while we wish we were doing something else. I see this often with clients who have a 'day job' that provides for
their material needs and they're preparing for the day when they can leave that job and do their 'real' work. They feel out
of balance, incomplete and afraid because they believe they are not living their purpose and not using their gifts.
The first aspect of the path and art of being
is joy. If we are out of balance, we aren't happy and our life is a joyless cycle of doing where we are allowing everything
but trust, faith and love to guide our choices. The second aspect of 'being' is wholeness, which occurs when our being and
doing are aligned. When we are in a state of wholeness, we feel complete, we are happy and we have money, time, energy, love
and more. Our life is rewarding, fun and we do what we love and we love what we do.
To create the transformation that allows this
state of wholeness and alignment to occur we must be willing to ask ourselves one simple question, 'Does this bring me joy?'
If the answer is 'no' then we must be willing to allow change to occur so that we are in joy in every aspect of our life.
We may have to change how we think about ourselves, our life, how we fulfill our purpose and what level of joy we are willing
to have. If we can allow ourselves to be fully and completely in joy in all things, then we have found the secret to life,
we can be fully connected to ourselves, and our divinity and humanity (our being and doing) will be fully aligned in our being
and doing and only those things that bring us joy will be part of our reality.
This week's energy work:
Make a list of everything that you do in your life. For each thing you write, ask whether it brings you joy. If the answer
is 'yes', continue with it. If not, what level of transformation will bring you to a state of joy for that thing? Be honest
with yourself because when you are willing to allow joy into your life, you will create the transformation that brings you
to a state of perfect alignment and wholeness.
