A Sense of Wonder

In the morning time… I usually have a practice…

Rise at dawn, pour myself either a cup of coffee or tea and sit to contemplate the day. I have been using this practice for years coupled with several other practices that I sprinkle in to keep things ‘interesting’.

I may pray, meditate, and visualize what it is that I would like to bring to the day based on the present moment experiences at hand. I have been using some form of this type of practice ever since I was little.

As a child, I would escape to the outdoors and be one with nature most of the day. It was not uncommon to spend countless hours roaming the neighborhoods, climbing trees, running through endless pathways of forest gardens, making mud pies, and singing songs that spoke light years of love through the heart.

I was joy.

I was in the present moment, and I became one with whatever was happening. It was impeccably similar and perfectly different every day.

Often, I would be alone.

Simply with no care in the world and just happy to just be me.

I had a history of a broken home and many disheveled upheavals that I had witnessed through adults in my life. And at that age, it made no difference. I just did my thing.

Remaining as a child in wonder.

Wondering how to fly, how to create forts, and how to make beautiful things. The sense of wonder within and all around.

This is what I was tuned into.

It was an experience of presence.

Of just being in the doing and doing in the being. It just was.

Lately, as I grow in my experiences, I have noticed a marvelous shift in society to get back to this sense of wonder. The wonder that we all possessed as children. The wonder of it all.

In lesson 6 – of my book (Transcending Limitations, Pegasus 2022) I speak about the importance of Wonder.

“We must wonder every day. We must take the time to turn every lower negative thought into a game of wonder. We must do as children do. Wonder in every moment and in every way. We can wonder about so many things. We can wonder about everything, every person, place and thing…

(Book Available)

Many of us lost the capability to wonder in adulthood. We forgot what it feels like to wonder. When did this seriousness become us? We must return to the realm of wonder. If we are to transform our worlds into the New Earth, we must bring wonder back into it all. Wonder uses the imagination, it brings creativity, fun, joy, and expansion. It never judges or fills our lives with mental thoughts of limitation and ‘I can’t’. It always asks, ‘I wonder’ and follows it up with a wonderful imaginative question.”

When we use curiosity to wonder and allow expansion to happen, we begin to use a part of the imagination that is not available as we relive old experiences, traumas, or events.

If we stay in our mind trying to figure out the impossible, we begin to travel a very slippery slope of events that may or may not bring us the answers we seek.

When we allow ourselves to wonder we bring in a childlike sense and belief allowing creativity to flow through us and completely connected. Wonder brings us into a state of presence as we marvel about momentary experiences.

Wondering creates a doorway to the other side where all possibilities exist and ready to take us to the highest answer we are seeking.

Wonder takes us from where we are to where we would like to be. Only needing to be in the sensation of the present moment experience to see the next step along our path.

As we wonder we can tap into another sense…our intuition. As we wonder we begin to align with intuition showing us the answers we seek.

Wonder brings us to presence and presence brings us our intuitive knowing which is aligned with wonder.

In the present moment we never loose our way.

Wondering is a bridge to the other side.

It connects from where we are to where we already intuitively know we would like to be.

It keeps us out of the past and the future and drop us into the present moment knowing.

This holiday weekend, as you take a breath and allow yourself some time to just ‘be’.

I encourage you to be in the moment and wonder. Wonder about life and marvel at the beauty all around you.

Be present in everything. In the moment you are doing be completely present in that. In the moment you are wondering be completely present in that.

In the moment you are in an experience, be in the experience.

Then sense and feel what it is to be completely in the present.

Completely in the space provided right before you as you experience that moment.

And then wonder about the wonderfulness of that.

Marvel through it all.

And this will naturally take you into the being. This is a meditation in and of itself.

As we get lost in the experience of the moment, we realize we never left our truth and in that very moment we know we were never disconnected…

it is always right here exactly where we are.

Wonder and marvel at it all… it will always take you exactly where you want to go. This is intuitive knowing living in present moment experiences through the wonder of life itself.

Have a beautiful weekend.

Blessings & More,

Jennifer

Living an Inspired Life

IntuitLove InSpirit Reminder

Yesterday, I was driving back and forth to my son in Champaign, Illinois.

I was helping him unpack from moving into an apartment.

I was listening to music in my car, as I often do. The time in my car always seems to be solace time for me where I get to just ‘be’ and allow. As I was allowing, I began pondering our life together.

The relationship I have with my oldest is very special and different. He was born with a condition called spina bifida many years ago. Since that time, he has made huge contributions to his life and the world. He changed our lives for the better.

Ethan has always shown me how to make life better and how to be a better person. Since he uses arm crutches for short distances and a wheelchair for long distances, we always had to do life differently. Things were very different back when Ethan was born over 20 years ago. At a time when wheelchairs were not accepted, and the Americans with Disabilities act was barely emerging, we were frequently bombarded by issues related to people with disabilities.

A little history on the ADA… it was drafted and introduced to the House Senate in 1988. A broad bipartisan coalition of legislators supported the ADA while the bill was opposed by business interests (who argues the bill imposed costs on business) and conservative evangelicals (who opposed protection for individuals with HIV). HIV and other disabilities were also included in this bill. The final version was signed into law on July 26^th of 1990 by President George H. W. Bush and was later amended and signed in 2008 with changes to be effective as of January 1, 2009. (compliments of Wikipedia)

As you can see, it has ONLY been in the last 15 years that we have seen the effects of this law activate in our society.

What does that mean?

It takes time for society to catch up with law. Even though in 2009 the law was effected it was still going to take many years for the world to catch up. At least the progress began.

Because Ethan was born at the time that all of this was just evolving, his entire childhood was built around showing people what COULD be done instead of what could not be done.

Life is about providing opportunity, not obstacles.

And that is what we did. This was not an easy task. We frequently ran into barriers. Everywhere we went, and everywhere we would go, raising a child with different abilities became a lesson in life for everyone involved. Everyone had to change their thinking in order to help this kid thrive. We all had to do things differently.

Daily, we had to find creative ways to make life happen in the best way possible.

We had no other choice but to live within the realm of inspiration.

There was no other way.

The only way to truly LIVE is to be in the allowing and the loving of life in the moment that life is hapening.

And as we shifted into living life in love and inspiration life responded by helping us do more and become more. And throughout the years we were always shown the way. The people, places and things ALWAYS showed up and so many opportunities presented themselves that we never thought possible before.

We had opportunities to travel across the country and the world to compete in adaptive sports, we had opportunities to funding and ways to compensate for his needs that seemed financially insurmountable just fall into our laps, and we had connections with doctors and hospitals at just the right timing to help Ethan in whatever endeavors needed to be handled according to where he was and what was happening. We were always lead, guided, and directed to all the right people places and things at exactly the right timing. It was as if the rockets of thoughts and ideas to solve any perceived problem always showed up at the same time.

Everything ALWAYS showed up. We never questioned what was happening and we just did it. Our intuitive knowing took us there. As ‘problems’ occurred, solutions happened.

Answer showed up in a way that just allowed everything to happen. This was at the heart of every miracle that ever occurred.

Through all of this I realized, in the center of our hearts, we already know the answer. Within our very being the answer arises.

I didn’t need anyone to tell me facts or prove to me that this is how it would happen or anything needed to happen. We were in our purpose and it just happened. There was no story.

It just happened.

We tuned into and taped into what we needed to do and the answers showed up;

immediately.

It just became.

Problems were not problems.

Problems were opportunities for answers.

It was that simple.

The solution always came in.

As soon as we needed to find a way to access a building a back door appeared. As soon as we needed the right therapists to show up to help Ethan get to the next level, the right person walked into his life. As soon as we wanted to find a way to get him involved in sports at a competitive level, the teams showed up. As soon as we needed a wheelchair, the funding happened. As soon as we needed a way for him to drive a car with only his hands, the accessibility experts happened. As soon as we saw that college was a possibility, the road to a degree happened. And on and on and on.

We ALWAYS decided that there was a way. We never dwelled on the limitation and always looked to the limitless. If we fell, we got up. If we were defeated, we remained enlightened.

If we didn’t feel good, we shifted to feeling better. We never stayed in the small and always looked for bigger and better. It was just how we did it.

Fast forward… what did we learn?

To live through our hearts. What else did we learn?

The miracle arises in the non questioning.

What else did we learn?

There are no limitations. This is how we Transcend Limitations.

The limitation is in the limitation itself. (That is the cosmic joke.)

We believed there was another way. And every time we succeeded, we wanted to do more and share more. So that is what we did. As we received, we gave. And you know what? It works.

We launched our desires and the universe always answered. We showed up, we sensed and felt, we sent out our truest and highest and biggest desires, and we never questioned the answers. The path always appeared, and we just walked the walk.

We asked, we felt, we trusted, we loved, and it happened.

And with that, we keep going.

Always knowing, always being, always growing. ONWARDS & UPWARDS we continue to grow.

Join me tonight and in the weeks ahead as we dream our desires into our existence.

As we inspire the greatest and the best in all of us, we become all that we are ever meant to become.

As we help each other renew and revitalize the life we were meant to live we all become more. We transcend all perceived limitations until they no longer exist. Here’s what to expect…

Now

At one time in my life I knew I was right. I was sure about so many things.

I was sure about my career, what I wanted in my life, and where I was going.

The funny thing is, for all the times I was so sure about who I was, what I believed, and where I was going, none of what I expected to happen ever really did happen in the way I expected it to. I had a dream, I followed it, kept my fingers crossed and hoped for the best.

And it always turned out better than I could ever imagine.

I wonder why?

Maybe it is in the power of the present.

The ‘Now’.

This one little word, when spelled backwards equates to ‘Won’.

Now = Won

And Won can also be spelled One.

In the ‘now’ is the ‘one’ or ONENESS with everything.

There is a famous quote by Eckhart Tolle,

“Time isn’t precious at all, because it is an illusion. What you perceive as precious is not time but the one point that is out of time: the Now. That is precious indeed. The more you are focused on time—past and future—the more you miss the Now, the most precious thing there is.”

Now = Won = One

The ‘Now’ is a very interesting and empowering concept indeed.

In this ‘now’ moment we are present. In this ‘now’ moment there is everything right here. In this ‘now’ moment nothing really matters except the fullness of the experience that is happening right here and right now.

Now = Won = One = Everything + Nothing

This brings us to present moment experiences. It connects us with all space, time, and dimension. Thus connecting us with all of ourselves. If any part of us remains unresolved in the past it is difficult to remain in the present. Thus the ‘now’ moment could be difficult to maintain. We could be reacting to present moment experiences based on past events. This could be the reason it is difficult to stay present.

Sometimes it is easier to stay present when we are engaged in an activity. When we are doing an activity that we have become proficient at we become present in the now. It becomes a meditation that eases the mind and drops us into our bodies.

With practice as we meditate we allow ourselves to drop into the present.

When we drop into the present moment we find ourselves in the now.

Now = One

Sometimes, we may feel distracted, worried, or fearful over something. Our minds may want to travel to past experiences or predict the future.

That’s ok.

This is the process of learning how to be fully present in the ‘now’.

It leads us to a place that is called ‘nothingness’.

It leads us to the presence of space where time does not exist.

And what happens when time does not exist and we are in the space of ‘nothingness’?

Everything.

That means we have arrived at all possibility.

This is where everything that we thought was, is no more.

Now = Won = One = Everything + Nothing = ?

And in this moment, we can shift to a new reality.

This is the gift of the ‘now’.

We realize that the present is all there is and in this realization is the gift of what is possible.

We can choose how we show up in life. And it can be completely different.

Now = Won = One = Everything + Nothing = One = Won = Now

MIRACLES

How do we do this?

On Monday evenings, there is a gift coming… a present moment experience to practice being in the ‘now’.

We incorporate meditation techniques such as breathing, visualizations, and sound.
