GoOD Mornings with CurlyNikki: The Rosary

For a better morning,
listen for God’s voice first.
For a better night,
listen for God’s voice last.
For a better life,
listen for God’s voice all day.*

Shhhh…

It sounds like the constant feeling of Love.

Don’t think about that last sentence. Just read it again, and FEEL the Silence. Hear the Love. Smile. Relax your shoulders. Sway. 

Unexpected blessings happen here. 

I Love you and I'm with you,
Nik

And in the end,
which is the beginning,
you'll see that there never was a path to contentment,
or steps made on it,
or breaths taken in it.
or persons met along it.
There's no one here to recognize Love;
to practice It, or to turn toward It.
Only Love is here.
And that's the final Truth.

I Love you,
NIk

Today's Quotes:

"Rama, 
there are four gate-keepers at the entrance to the Realm of Freedom, moksha. 
They are 
self-control,
spirit of enquiry, 
contentment and 
good company. 
The wise seeker should diligently cultivate the friendship of these, or at least one of them. "
-Yoga Vasistha 

"When you know you are part of the divine plan, you stop demanding. Then you know everything is being done for you."
-Ravi Shankar 

"You are lost only because you are searching."
-UG Krishnamurti 

"The mind creates the abyss, the heart crosses it."
-Nisargdatta Maharaj 

"We all feel that health is the natural state of the body. Why do we not feel that happiness is the natural state of the mind?"

When the heart is warm with Love, the head is automatically cool.   
Your response is chill.
Your thoughts are chill.
Sometimes, it's like they're saying- 
"Thank you for giving me this Love as a reminder of Your presence.
Thank you for giving me this opportunity, this moment, to remember you."

And you can take as many of these moments as  you need during the day. 
Every time you close your eyes and go within,
that's the Sabbath.
That's true rest.
That's the absence of desire (aka the feeling of lack),
and the presence of all things Go(o)d.

I Love you,
Nik

"The only real rest comes when you're alone with God."

Heart As Wide As The World by Krishna Das

“Holding me in your arms’ vast embrace
Only love shining in endless space
All I need is to be with you
All my prayers have been heard
All I want is to rest inside
Your heart as wide as the world

I looked away
Your beauty too much to bear
Where could I run?
Your eyes,
I found them everywhere
All I want is to sing to you
The song that no one has heard
All my life has lead me to
A heart as wide as the world

Shree Raam Jai Raam Jai Jai Raam“

“No matter how turbulent the situation, Lord Shiva’s head and inner realm remains peaceful. Though the head is cool, the heart is always warm with compassion for the world. What we need is a cool head and a warm heart. But what we see in the world today is the very opposite: most people are hot-headed and cold-hearted. Everyone’s head is heated up by worldly thoughts, and the heart has become frosty with selfishness. If our head is cool, we can face the most adverse circumstances peacefully and turn it to our advantage."
-Amma 2017 via @Sherenevismaya on IG 

"We must have one purpose alone: to seek the realization of His presence, His power, and His grace. When we emerge from these periods, usually we find that the “things” are added unto us: whatever knowledge we need to carry on our business, whatever physical strength or moral support."
-Joel Goldsmith, 'A Parenthesis in Eternity'

"A life built upon Sabbath is contented because in rhythms of rest we discover our time is full of the holiness of God."
-Shelly Miller

Everything you see is sacred.
Everything you taste is sacred.
Everything you smell is sacred.
Everything you hear and touch,
sacred.
Hafiz said, 'everything you do is sacred."
In this Silence we practice, you are sacred.
And in this sacredness there's nothing but Grace.
Receive It by staying open to It, by feeling It... 
by giving It.
The more you give, the more you have.

I Love you,
Nik

Feeling the breeze, think, "God is breathing on me."
Feeling the sun, think, "God is shining on me."
Feeling the water, think, "God is cleansing me.'
Feeling the Love, think, “God is blessing me.”

Use every moment of every day for remembrance of God, and you'll come to see that it's actually Him remembering you.

The whole world is your Self.
When you start feeling this Truth, you recognize that you can't make a wrong decision.
Rumi said whether you look to your right, or to your left, God is there, your Self is there.
Whether you go to the right or to the left, you're going to end up where you're supposed to be.
You're going to end up as who you're supposed to be.
Stop confusing yourself.
Stop listening to that little voice inside, the one of doubt and confusion,
 and start listening to the Divine One.
The Silent One.
The Real You.
It knows The Way.
It knows that every way is The Way,
and It'll deliver you, expeditiously.

"When you are in meditation, you do not need to look after yourself. A power will rise, which is moving the earth, which is causing the sun to shine, which is giving the moon its brilliance, and which is allowing all these jivas to function as they want to. If you are attuned to that power, you will have nothing to do, everything will be beautiful."

When that body slouches,
it's like it's slouching into forgetfulness.
It's slouching into worry.
It's slouching into  overthinking.
Sit back up straight,
like you’re on your Throne,
and be Greatness.

In this posture, that body is like an antenna, receiving, remembering Greatness, remembering its Divine Essence, remembering Truth.
Remembering that everything it encounters is also Greatness,
is one with Greatness.
That there is nothing but Greatness.

I Love you,
Nik

God responds to your prayers in many ways, the first response being Joy and inner Peace.  His Peace.

Today I share about my current read/listen, 'Autobiography of a Yogi', and how we're divine roomies in "this place where every thought and breath starts", where every prayer is expressed and answered.  In this place where you practice being Love until Love is all that's left.

Praying is remembering God.
Putting yourself in touch with God.
Feeling Its always-on, always-present Love for you... ceaselessly. 

Today we choose to stay aware of God, of Love, of the Unchangeable, knowing that since It and the changeable are one,  the changeable will appear to harmonize.

"Don't panic- pray. 
Don't worry- worship. 
Don't give up- keep going. 
Dong break- take a breath. 
Don't quit- pause and reset.

"Step out onto the path of service, but remember-do not fail to take the time each day for a loving worship and adoration of the King of your life. Then shall you be fitted and worthy for the work which you are to do."
-Eva Bell Werber, Voice of the Master

Today, every time you're troubled by a thought, remember where that thought is taking place.
It's taking place in the ocean of Love.
Hear this Silence.
Feel this Love.
And you'll see that even that disturbing thought,
its essence is Love.
And because you recognize it,
it turns back into Love,
it turns back into silence,
where it becomes a more beautiful thought.
One that says,
"you're not upset, you just forgot that you're submerged in Love,"
or
"how can I serve you",
or
"how can I help this one"?
These are the thoughts you have when you recognize that God is in you and you are in God.
This is the new you.
The God you.

I Love you,
Nik
