If you’re every in a hurry to get somewhere, or you’re running late for something, you can see what happens if you experiment with time.

Time isn’t this set thing: a minute isn’t really a minute, it’s just our perception of a minute.

If you begin to allow yourself to experience Nowness during that minute, you will find something unusual happens: your experience of time either speeds up or slows down, depending on what your intention is.

And, as you shift your perception of time to the idea of “I have all the time I need” you will find that whoever is also sharing the dream or the perception with you (your boss, your child waiting at school, the person you’re meeting for lunch) will also experience time in the same way.
 
Nowness is timeless.

When we choose to experience life as Now, we enter a portal where time is fluid, and can be speeded up or slowed down, based on our vibration and our consciousness. Try it. Don’t worry about the science. Just experiment, when you are running late, with being in the Now.

And notice that time will expand, so that you can create the reality you need. 

I’m not all light. Neither are you. No one is, or can be.
Even on our best days, we’re perfectly imperfect.
We lose our tempers, we’re mean to each other, we don’t respect ourselves, we sink into apathy or depression.
We make incredibly bad decisions.
We fail.
This doesn’t worry me; I hope it doesn’t worry you.
The point of our lives isn’t to be perfect, it’s just to be on the path.
The path, the spiritual path, is about trying, opening the heart, understanding, learning, letting go, trying some more, growing the soul.
Don’t worry about perfection, or being good.
Just stay on the path.
The rest takes care of itself.

If you have trouble sleeping, if you wake up in the middle of the night with bad dreams, or heavy thoughts, worries, insecurities, fears…. instead of worrying about insomnia or fretting that you’re not sleeping, you can let this wakefulness be a gift to you.
 
The wee hours of the morning are the amrit vela, the nectar hours, in which it is especially easy to connect with your guides and spirit helpers, and to mediate upon your true Divine nature. It is a beautiful time to sit up in bed, covers warm upon you, by yourself or with a partner slumbering beside you, and meditate.

The vibration is quieter at this time, because so many beings are asleep. You catch fewer thoughts of others; the electrical vibrations are lower at this time. You can connect more easily in this stillness; you can listen to your own heart a little better.
 
Sit up, close your eyes, and connect in. Ask your guides to be with you and to inform you on what is most important for you to know. Sift through the parts of your life that still need healing. Attach to your dreams, and allow them to become manifest.

In this quiet, still, deep time, you will rejuvenate yourself even if you do not sleep. Use the nectar hours as a gift; you have been awakened by the Universe from your sleep, so you can wake up your conscious understanding.

What is your relationship to your body? Do you have shame about your body or wish it were different? Do you long for the body you used to have, or wish for the body you hope to create in the future? Do you feel your body is not really you?
 
The thing is: this body you’re in? You’re not separate from it.
 
It’s been given to you as very efficient way to learn soul lessons, and what’s more: you chose this body, when you entered in as a soul.

If your body is thin, you are likely learning lessons associated with thinness, such as fitness, attractiveness, detachment, starvation, weakness. If your body is fat, you are likely learning lessons associated with fatness, such as sloth, power, discomfort, protection, gluttony, shame. If your body changes a lot in your lifetime, you will learn to let go of many identities.

Regardless of how you feel about your body: you can’t be separate from it until you die. You can change it with diet and exercise, or it may change on its own from age or illness. But you can’t crawl out of it. You can’t separate yourself from it. The only way out of your body is death.
 
As long as you’re living… you might as well make peace with this body that you’re in.

If you’ve been deep in your practice of spiritual intuition for a while, you’ve become accustomed to going into meditation, rising up to the level of vibration where it’s easy to communicate with your guides, and finding your beautiful guides waiting for you, with their familiar faces and dress and essence right there, supporting you and loving you.
 
Except, sometimes your guides change. The beautiful familiars are not there. And instead, there is a new guide, or guides waiting. This often happens when we need help with a specific problem: for example, if you are deep into a work project, a guide may show up who is a specialist for you to call upon and ask for advise. Sometimes a guide will show up with a clipboard and checklist, to help you stay focused on all the things you’re meant to accomplish, no putting it off any longer!
 
But, more likely, you receive new guides or a new guide when you are moving from one level of understanding to the next. The former guides have taken you as far as they can. Now you’re going further, and they’re handing you off to the next group; the group can take you to the next level of understanding.
 
It’s normal to feel sad when familiar guides aren’t there. But if you look closely, you will see the beaming love and support of the new guides, waiting to help you now. 

Our deep feelings inform us: how we feel in our gut, what we feel with certainty. It’s important to pay attention to these feelings.

But our fleeting feelings, our moods: these often don’t have anything to do with what we feel and know deeply.
 
It’s important, when you’re feeling something, to take a look at if it’s a passing thought, or something real and deep and true.

For example, when you wake up in the morning, you might feel grumpy and want to be left alone; it’s hard to move in the noise and disruption of the day. But these feelings are related to things like your core personality needing more time to transition, or the fact that you’re too tired and need more rest. They don’t speak to what you really feel, about the opportunity to get up in the morning and live your life.
 
You might be deeply happy with your life, you might be deeply dissatisfied. But the way you feel as you transition from sleep to waking, may not be an indicator.

As you feel irritation, overwhelm, grumpiness, stress and so forth, take a look at if it’s a true, deep, in your gut feeling: or just something passing, a reaction to the impetus of the outer world. The real feeling should be paid attention to. The other, let go. If you’re not sure which is which, start paying attention, and see what you notice.
