N O W is all you’ve got.

Your power to create the life you desire, lies only in the present moment. The now moment, is the only time you can create anything new in your life. You cannot create anything new in the past, because the past is gone forever. Neither can you create the future, in the future, because the future does not exist right now. Therefore, you are living and creating your life, moment by moment.

The NOW moment is eternal!

Most people are not fully aware of the present moment, because it is gone in an instant. The present moment, becomes the past moment, in an instant. The present moment however, does not become the future moment, because it has become the now moment again. The Now moment is eternal.

Most people are in a hurry, rushing from one activity to another. They are always moving towards the next thing on their agenda. They are so consumed with the next moment that the future holds greater significance than what is happening in the present moment.

The truth is that your life is being lived continuously in the present moment. Even when you are remembering past events or memories, you are remembering it now. Likewise, you may be thinking of your future, but you are thinking of it now.

Life is built on a flawed perception

Some people think that the past was a better time in their life, so they get stuck in past memories, yet they cannot relive their past, because it is gone forever. Others think the future holds greater promise, so they are in hurry to get through present circumstances, to get to the future, hoping that the future will bring a happier life.

The Law of Attraction is always responding to your current vibration

This is a vibrational universe. The Law of Attraction, is always responding to your current vibration, by bringing more of the vibration you are offering now. When you desire to be happy somewhere else rather than where you are now, this causes a vibrational discord in the flow of your creative energy thus making it difficult to manifest your desires.

Happiness NOW

You can only create happiness now, if your current thoughts and feelings are happy. You do not have to wait for better conditions to show up, before you feel happy. You have to feel happy now, because it is only through your improved vibration that you will attract happiness. Your happiness now has to be unconditional. This is the key to creating true happiness that lasts.

Your power is in the NOW moment

When you are thinking of an event in your past, which makes you feel sad, you are using the present moment to focus on the unhappy past. When you feel unhappy, you will feel disempowered, frustrated and your creative powers will become stuck.

Likewise, when you are worrying about the future now, you are using the present moment in a non-productive way, to worry about an event which hasn’t happened, or may not happen. The truth is that you have no control over the past or the future, so you have no power in the past or the future.

Your power is in your NOW emotions

Each moment offers you the opportunity to choose to feel happy, joyful, peaceful, compassion, or anger, sadness, worry, disappointment or fear.

When you are happy, you are aligned with Source energy and you feel inspired to do great things. This is the best state to create your desires easily. Conversely, when you are in an unhappy state, your negative vibrations will create more of what you don’t want.

Your power is in your awareness moment to moment. Know when your choices are creating what you want or what you don’t want. When you are aware that you are feeling negative emotions, you can choose to direct your attention to other things that bring happy feelings.

Appreciate where you are NOW

Be aware that your point of focus in the moment, is attracting your experiences in life. You can only get to where you want to be, from where you are now. Thus, the best use of NOW, is to appreciate where you are now.

Appreciation is a very high vibration. If you can appreciate your current situation, it will improve. Appreciation of your here and now, brings everything into proper perspective. Your state of appreciation will guide you into a receptive mode, to receive all the good things you have asked for.

Align with your inner being to be fully present in the NOW

Your inner being or your soul is eternal. It is always vibrating in the NOW. To participate fully in life and to reap the best experiences, you must be in full vibrational alignment with your inner being.

Pure positive energy is constantly flowing to you, through your inner being. When you are connected with your inner being, you are accessing power from Divine Source, to create the life you desire. In this divine connection, you are able to see the world through the eyes of Source energy and your attention will always be drawn to positive things that serve your life.

Meditate to connect with your inner being

Deep breathing connects you to your inner being and Divine Source, which is the current that carries vitality to your cells to keep you alive.

When you meditate, you will get to a state when you slow down your thoughts of the past or future, until you are aware only of the present. Your breathing will slow down until you become aware of each breath, as you breathe in and out. Then you will be aware of the silence and the awesome present!

In meditation, you are relaxed, yet fully aware. You feel clarity and trust impulses conveyed by divine guidance, to create the life you desire.

Be fully present in the NOW moment

When you are fully present in the now moment,

• You feel alive!

• You appreciate every breath you take!

• You are aware that you are a walking, talking miracle!

• Your senses enhance every experience!

• You notice the beauty and perfection in everything!

Be fully present when you eat

Eat your food slowly. Savour every mouthful. Be aware of the taste in each ingredient. Appreciate how your teeth, tongue, taste buds and saliva, cooperate to bring maximum pleasure while you eat!

Be fully present when you prepare to sleep

Look forward to going to sleep! Feel the softness of the pillow and how well it supports your neck! Be aware of your body resting comfortably on the soft mattress. How fresh the sheets feel and smell. Surrender to sleep and let sleep caress and embrace you!

Be fully present when you cook

Look forward to the joy of cooking! Be fully conscious of every step you take, from the preparation, the cooking, to the finish. Watch with amazement at how the ingredients blend together to give you the result you desire. When food is served, take in all the compliments!

Be fully present when spending time with children

Babies and children live in the present moment. Watch how their eyes are transfixed on one person or thing at a time. Nothing distracts them. When they look into your eyes, they rock the core of your being!

When you spend time with children, be fully engaged with what they are doing, or what they want you to do with them. Savour the exchange of love!

Be fully present when listening to music

The vibrations of music speak to the vibrations of your core being! That is why music rocks your soul! Be fully immersed in the joy that music offers!

Your life is happening NOW

Your life is happening in the eternal now. When you accept the significance of this truth, you will stop regretting the past or worrying about the future. You will choose to relax and go with the flow.

Your purpose in life is to be joyful

I firmly believe that your purpose in life is to be joyful, because when you feel joy, you are fully alive. In your expansive state, your creative powers are at their peak and you can manifest your desires easily. This is the Divine Plan.

Your responsibility is to care for how you feel and to turn your attention to things in your life that are pleasing to you, so that your vibration is always positive.

When you are relaxed and fully present, the universal stream of pure positive energy, will guide you along the path of least resistance, towards the fulfilment of your all your desires.

NOW is all you’ve got

Make this moment count! Fill each moment with love, joy and peace. This is how you ride on the momentum of bliss!

Much love,

THE PATH OF LOVE

There is a path that will lead you to all the good things you desire in life and that is Love. Love is the secret portal though which you can gain access to all the higher energies such as joy, abundance, wellbeing and peace. When you consciously choose love as your way of life, love will inspire all your thoughts, words, feelings and actions. When you are aligned with Divine Source, there are no obstacles preventing you from creating anything you desire.

Love is the most powerful creative force in the universe

This is a vibrational universe and your life is created by the personal vibrations you are sending out. Whatever thoughts you are focused on, will activate a vibration within you, which will attract people, things and situations that match the frequency of your vibrations. If you choose to focus on love, you will attract more love into your life.

Your emotions are the driving force of your life. How you feel from moment to moment, influences all your decisions. When you feel love, you feel good and you are inspired to do all the things that will bring you more good feelings.

Conversely, when you feel negative emotions, you feel awful or miserable, causing you to act in ways that will bring more misery into your life. It is important to take note of all the different emotions you experience, as you respond to people and situations in each day.

There is a Vibrational Scale of Emotions, which has calibrated every human emotion on a scale of 1-1,000. Heavy emotions like sadness, guilt or humiliation, vibrate at low frequencies, below 200, causing you to feel “low.”

Meanwhile, feelings like love, joy and bliss, vibrate at high, uplifting frequencies, from 500 and above, thus making you feel “high,” light and good.

Love is the tipping point to create your desires easily

On this Vibrational Scale, Love vibrates at a high frequency of 500. It is important to note that the frequency of 500, is the tipping point at which your magnetic frequencies are strong. That is why love makes you feel so powerful, to enable you to create all your desires easily, such as more love, joy and peace.

Conversely, any other emotion such as anger, sadness, disappointment, embarrassment, rejection or depression, makes you feel powerless. If you continue to indulge in these negative emotions, they will gather negative momentum. If you are not fully conscious of what is happening, moment by moment, you can get sucked into the “black hole” of negative emotions and get stuck there.

When you are experiencing these low frequencies, you will feel powerless to uplift your vibrations to improve your circumstances.

Love increases your awareness, enabling you to consciously choose the path of love, so that your life will be joyful.

Feeling good is the key to manifesting all your desires

The reason you want most things in life, is because you desire to feel good or happy. Having a comfortable car, a nice home, a good job, enough money and good health, causes you to feel good. Having the love of family and friends, makes you feel good. All of these good feelings bring you more love, comfort, joy and wellbeing.

Thus, your only business in life, is to care about how you feel. When you feel good, your channels are open to receive all the good energies that are flowing to you. All you have to do is to allow these energies to flow through you, unimpeded by any negative emotions.

You decide how you wish to feel in every situation. No one can enter the sanctuary of your mind and force you to feel miserable. While you may not be able to control everything that happens, how you choose to feel about anything or anyone, is the only thing within your absolute control.

Remembering this truth, grounds you in your real power to manifest all your desires.

Know the difference between the feelings of love and negative emotions

Love makes you feel Anger, Sadness, Worry, Despair makes you feel

Uplifted/Exhilarated Depressed

Fearless/Powerful Fearful/Powerless

Expansive/Unlimited Constricted/Limited

Connected with everything Isolated/Separated

Abundant Depleted

Fulfilled Unfulfilled

Rich Poor

Free Shackled

Complete/Whole Fragmented

Clarity Confusion

Ease Uneasy

Aligned with Source Out of alignment with Source

The frequency of love always makes you feel good. Love is in alignment with Source Energy and will lead you on the path to fulfil all your desires.

Conversely, negative emotions always make you feel bad, because you are blocking the flow of creative energy, thus preventing you from creating your desires. When you are not in alignment with Source Energy, you feel frustrated and unfulfilled.

Choose love because

• love creates miracles, heals all wounds and purifies all lower energies

• When you align with love, fear dissolves and problems dissipate.

• Love guides you to do the right things, make the right decisions.

• You will see with eyes of love, hear words of love and act from love.

• When you are anchored in love, your creative powers are unleashed, enabling you to attract all that your heart desires.

Turn to love, when you are angry, sad, worried, doubtful, jealous or depressed

Love has the power to transmute all other lower energies, which attract bad experiences into your life. Thus, whenever you feel negative emotions, you should consciously return to love by asking yourself these two questions:

“If I could act from love now, how would I respond to this person or situation?”

“What would love have me do right now?”

Coming from a place of love will always bring clarity to any situation. Love will always bring compassion and generosity of heart, which will inspire the best response from you, to any person or situation that is upsetting you.

The following situations are some examples where you can practice love.

1. When you observe someone passing by, what do you see?

Is your first response, “She is showing too much cleavage,” or “Her skirt is too short,” or “He looks arrogant.”

If you are coming from a place of love, you will notice only positive things about someone and perhaps remark, “What gorgeous hair she has!” or “She has a lovely smile!” or “He dresses well!”

2. In a restaurant, how do you respond to people laughing loudly?

Would you get angry and comment, “How inconsiderate!” or “These people are uneducated!”

If love inspired your response, you might see a totally different perspective and say, “It is nice to see people having a good time!”

3. Always look for something to appreciate

When you look for something to appreciate wherever you are, soon enough, you will always notice only positive things.

For example, when you are in a restaurant, someone might say, “The chairs here are quite uncomfortable,” but you can shift the focus by saying, “The air-conditioning here is nice and cool!” or “The waiters here are really polite!”

Whenever you express appreciation, you are expressing love and you can change the energy of any situation immediately.

4. Smile and acknowledge people

Smile at people when walking along a corridor, or when entering a lift. It relaxes everyone immediately.

Smile and wave spontaneously at little children. Notice how they immediately wave and smile back at you. Make conversation with them. This spontaneous exchange of love warms both hearts!

Always acknowledge good in people. Compliment them immediately. Acknowledge good work, good service and kind acts, whenever you experience them. It feels so good when you touch someone’s heart!

5. Share what you know freely

When you feel competitive with someone, you will not want to share or help that person.

However, when you choose to act from love, you will willingly offer help or share knowledge.

When you do share, you feel so good! Your generosity inspires gratitude from that person which is so heart-warming!

6. Put love into everything you do

When you infuse love into your everyday activities, there is passion and perfection. You bring the best of you to the job at hand.

7. Cook with love

When you cook with love in your heart, your cooking will be exceptional! Those eating your food can feel your love. When they express their gratitude, so much love is expressed and felt!

8. Listen with love

When you listen with love, you listen with compassion and understanding and you will respond with love.

9. Speak with love

When you speak with love from your heart, your words will always be loving and will touch other hearts. When love is shared, you feel embraced by love!

Love is your purpose for living

Look around you at Nature. There is boundless love in all God’s creation. There is indescribable beauty and perfection everywhere you look. There is unlimited abundance. We are magnificent creations with unlimited powers. You have the power to choose more love, more joy, more fun, more laughter, more wonder, more beauty, more harmony and more peace in your day-to-day life.

Choose them all and you will experience heaven on earth!

The power of self-love

All forms of love begin with self-love. When you love, value and respect yourself, you would not harm yourself in any way by wallowing in negative emotions. You will not be self-critical or abuse your mind or body in any way. When you love yourself unconditionally, no one and nothing can reject you. You stand tall in the knowing of who you really are – an eternal being, a peaceful and loving soul!

When you have loved yourself adequately, “your cup runneth over.” Your love and generosity will overflow and touch everyone.

When you love yourself, you bring the best of who you are to meet the world! When you are connected with Divine Source, pure positive energy flows through you and you use your creative power to transform yourself and your world!

Namaste

“Namaste” is no ordinary Indian greeting. Dr. Deepak Chopra personally told me that this greeting means, “The Divine in me recognises the Divine in you.” I am deeply moved by the meaning of these words!

When you feel love, you feel oneness with everyone and everything. Time stands still and you get a taste of eternity!

Much love,

Shahreen Kamaluddin

Going with the Flow

Dear Friends,

The concept of going with the flow, is in alignment with the cosmic law, called the Law of Least Effort. This law ensures that your life will be easy and that you can fulfil all your desires effortlessly. All you need to do is go within, connect with Divine Source, listen to your inner guidance, trust that the Universe has your back and go with the flow of life.

This advice would be rejected by most people, because they have been conditioned to believe that nothing comes easy in life. They believe they have no choice but to work hard and struggle to get what they want.

Whatever you believe to be true, will become your experience. Constant struggle is bound to wear you out. Besides, there will be no joy or fun in your life.

Is there an easier way?

Yes there is. The Law of Least Effort is a cosmic law that speaks to your higher self, or your soul, not to your rational human mind.

The conditioned mind believes that effort and struggle is the path to success. Yet, if this philosophy is true, everyone would be rich, happy and successful. The reality is that despite working ridiculous hours, their efforts have not borne fruit.

What if you are willing to believe that there is an easier way to live? What if you believe that the Creator of this Universe, has worked it all out for us and ensured that everything in this Universe, not just survives, but thrives?

The Law of Least Effort Ensures Perfection

The Law of Least Effort boldly promises that you can do less, yet accomplish more. Nature operates in harmony with this law. It does not hurry, yet it accomplishes everything with perfection.

Look at the universe where countless stars and planets exist. The size of each star and planet is immeasurable, yet all of them are floating in space! The Earth is spinning at approximately 1,000 miles per hour, yet it has not flown out of space! The entire galaxy of stars and planets are held in perfect positions. The Sun, Earth and Nature, follow the laws of the Universe and perform their roles perfectly, silently and joyfully.

I am inspired by what Hafiz, the 14th century Persian, Sufi, mystic poet and philosopher, said about the Sun,

“And still,

after all this time,

the Sun has never said to the Earth,

‘You owe me,’

Look what happens with a love like that.

It lights up the sky.”

Infinite Intelligence

Observe how the birds, butterflies, fish, flowers and trees, exist in perfection because they are in harmony with cosmic laws. Their DNA has all the information they will ever need to grow and thrive. They do not struggle, complain or argue with weather conditions. They are fully equipped to handle every challenge that comes. They go with the flow of life, trusting that all is well.

Some migratory birds perform amazing feats naturally. The Arctic Tern, a bird weighing about 100 grams, makes a round trip each year, between the Arctic and the Antarctic (about 20 000 kilometres) in order to never experience wintertime! The Sedge Warbler, can fly 4000 kilometres without any stopover! This bird weighs 23 grams when he begins the journey and only 9 grams when he arrives! Other small migratory birds can fly 75 hours straight, at 1000 meters high, to cross the Mediterranean Sea or the Sahara!

Leatherback sea turtles are among the most highly migratory animals on earth, travelling approximately 10,000 miles or more each year, between foraging grounds in search of jellyfish. Loggerheads born in Japan, migrate almost 8,000 miles to the rich waters off Baja California, to feed and mature. Once they have reached sexual maturity, they migrate back to Japan to breed and nest.

The tide knows when to ebb and flow. The sun know when to rise and set. Butterflies know when to pollinate a flower. Rivers and streams always take the path of least resistance, flowing downstream to the sea.

Who is speaking to them? They do not go to a school to learn how to live. Everything in Nature instinctively knows how to thrive. They do not hurry or worry about their future.

There is a higher organizing power that is orchestrating everything without the help of anyone or anything.

The Human Story

Our Creator has created everything in the Universe to sustain life at optimal levels. We do not need to envy the amazing capabilities, freedom and wisdom of birds, turtles or animals. Just as Nature is guided by divine inspiration, we too are receiving the same divine guidance.

We are God’s most magnificent creation! Look at how we have been designed. The capacity of our brains and bodies are incomprehensible! Our organs carry out highly complex functions perfectly, 24-7, throughout our lives, without any help from us. Our bodies have an in-built healing mechanism to ward off illness and to heal should we fall sick. We are indeed walking, talking miracles! We were designed to live to 120!

Despite our highly sophisticated apparatus and system, we are not accessing our inner wisdom to navigate our life. Rather than allow our spirit to guide us, we let our conditioned minds control our destiny. We over- think everything, worry about the future and complain endlessly about everything. Chasing our dreams, builds stress in our minds and bodies, resulting in illness.

Jalaluddin Rumi, the 13th century Persian poet and Sufi master said,

“When I run after what I think I want, my days are a furnace of stress and anxiety; if I sit in my own place of patience, what I need flows to me, and without pain. From this I understand that what I want also wants me, is looking for me and attracting me. There is a great secret here for anyone who can grasp it.”

What is meant by the term “resistance”?

In terms of electrical engineering or physics, “resistance” refers to the disruption of electric current flowing through a circuit.

We are human circuits through which pure positive energy is flowing through us. This energy from Source, is always bringing us wellbeing and abundance. There is no reason to fear or worry. When we do, these negative vibrations will block the natural flow of abundance and wellbeing from flowing to us.

The future is unknown and trying to control uncertainty, is going against the flow of the current. Sometimes, the best thing we can do is to surrender, let go and let God take over. When this happens, tension is released and suddenly new opportunities show up guiding us to a new experiences.

How to Flow with Life

The following suggestions will help you to go with the flow throughout each day.

• · Accept what you cannot control. When you change, your perspective changes and you will be inspired to take the right action.

• · Avoid rushing decisions, rushing from place to place and building up nervous energy in your body. Remind yourself to slow down, take a deep breath and relax.

• · Be an optimist. It takes up less energy!

• · Be a detached observer of life. Don’t criticise. Don’t judge yourself, others or life too harshly.

• · Use your heightened self-awareness to decide what matters most in life and focus on fulfilling it.

• · Look for positive aspects to appreciate everywhere you go.

• · Stay close to Nature and learn how to be in total appreciation of life and all the gifts that the Universe is showering on you.

• · Be silent in meditation and listen to the inner guidance that is flowing to you and through you.

The easy formula to fulfil all your desires

The Law of Attraction manages all the vibrations in the Universe. You will attract whatever vibration you are expressing. Positive vibrations attract positive experiences and vice versa. The better you feel about life, the closer you are to fulfilling your desires. The worse you feel about life, the further you are from realizing your goals.

Happiness is your natural state. How difficult can it be to ask yourself to be happy? Look for reasons to feel good and stay on that high frequency. By focussing on what you want, not on what you don’t want, you will naturally raise your vibrational frequency and attract what you want easily.

In the Holy Scriptures, Jesus said, “Ask and you shall receive. Seek and you will find. Knock and the door will be open to you.” I believe he was emphasizing how easy it is to get what you want.

Conclusion

Going with the flow, will bring clarity to your life. When you practice silence and meditate, divine inspiration will guide you to navigate the path toward your destination with fluidity and balance. You will find yourself in the right place at the right time. Your present moment awareness will allow you to appreciate everything along the path toward realizing your dreams and living your destiny.

When you have mastered the art of going with the flow, you will understand what the 6th century BC Chinese philosopher, Lao Tzu meant when he said,

“Be still like a mountain

And flow like a great river.”

Much love,
