Christina's Daily Inspiration- Contemplative Meditations

In a real sense all life is inter-related. All men are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be, and you can never be what you ought to be until I am what I ought to be...This is the inter-related structure of reality. ~Martin Luther King Jr.

There is force in the universe, which, if we permit it, will flow through us and produce miraculous results. ~ Gandilinktr.ee/christinabauerintuitive

Give up defining yourself - to yourself or to others. You won't die. You will come to life. And don't be concerned with how others define you. When they define you, they are limiting themselves, so it's their problem. Whenever you interact with people, don't be there primarily as a function or a role, but as the field of conscious Presence. You can only lose something that you have, but you cannot lose something that you are. ~Eckhart Tolle

“If a problem is fixable, if a situation is such that you can do something about it, then there is no need to worry. If it’s not fixable, then there is no help in worrying. There is no benefit in worrying whatsoever.” ? Dalai Lamalinktr.ee/christinabauerintuitive

“Your heart is the light of this world. Don’t cover it with your mind.” – Mooji.linktr.ee/christinabauerintuitive?

Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson~To be trusted is a greater compliment than being loved. ~George MacDonaldlinktr.ee/christinabauerintuitive

Whether one is rich or poor, educated or illiterate, religious or nonbelieving, man or woman, black, white, or brown, we are all the same. Physically, emotionally, and mentally, we are all equal. We all share basic needs for food, shelter, safety, and love. We all aspire to happiness and we all shun suffering. Each of us has hopes, worries, fears, and dreams. Each of us wants the best for our family and loved ones. We all experience pain when we suffer loss and joy when we achieve what we seek. On this fundamental level, religion, ethnicity, culture, and language make no difference ~ Dalai Lamalinktr.ee/christinabauerintuitive

When one destroys even the most subtle concepts and notions of subject and object, one arrives at the way things truly are. But this state of emptiness is not empty like an empty pot or void space. It is filled with the clarity of awareness. By attaining sound realization of this concentration of clear wisdom, one is able to destroy an entire mountain of negative actions and obscurations.~Dilgo Khyentse Rinpochelinktr.ee/christinabauerintuitive 

Everything that we have ever looked for can be found in our own inner stillness.  ~Morning Meditation Christina Bauerlinktr.ee/christinabauerintuitive

It is our mind, and that alone, that chains us or sets us free. To meet someone who really hurts you, is to meet a rare and precious treasure. Hold that person in high esteem, and make full use of the opportunity to eradicate your defects and make progress on the path. If you cannot yet feel love and compassion for those who treat you badly, it is a sign that your mind has not been fully transformed, and that you need to keep working on it with increased application. ~Dilgo Khyentse Rinpochelinktr.ee/christinabauerintuitive

Looking for peace is like looking for a turtle with a mustache: you won’t be able to find it. But when your heart is ready, peace will come looking for you~Ajan Chahlinktr.ee/christinabauerintuitive

 Ultimately there is light and love and intelligence in this universe. And we are it, we carry that within us, it’s not just something out there, it is within us and this is what we are trying to re-connect with, our original light and love and intelligence, which is who we are, so do not get so distracted by all this other stuff, you know, really remember what we are here on this planet for.— Tenzin Palmolinktr.ee/christinabauerintuitive

When you plant seeds in the garden, you don’t dig them up every day to see if they have sprouted yet. You simply water them and clear away the weeds; you know that the seeds will grow in time. Similarly, just do your daily practice and cultivate a kind heart. Abandon impatience and instead be content creating the causes for goodness; the results will come when they’re ready. ~Bhikshuni Thubten Chodronlinktr.ee/christinabauerintuitive

When people get taken over by the ego to such an extent, there is nothing else in their mind except the ego. They can no longer feel or sense their humanity - what they share with other human beings, or even with other life forms on the planet. They are so identified with concepts in their minds that other human beings become concepts as well. ~ Eckhart Tollelinktr.ee/christinabauerintuitive 

As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others. ~Audrey Hepburnlinktr.ee/christinabauerintuitive 

I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear ~ Martin Luther King Jr.linktr.ee/christinabauerintuitive 

When you are unsure about the future, keep doing what is in front of you with all your heart and with love,and what is meant for you will find you. ~Gurumayi Chidvilasanandalinktr.ee/christinabauerintuitive

Each one has to find his peace from within. And peace to be real must be unaffected by outside circumstances.~ Gandhilinktr.ee/christinabauerintuitive

Bad moods are either past or imaginary future,in the Present, there are no moods at all..Moods belong to the circumstance, to the past;face the Sun and there will be no shadow of the moods ~Papajilinktr.ee/christinabauerintuitive

Don’t be a storehouse of memories. Leave past, future and even present thoughts behind. Be a witness to life unfolding by itself. Be free of all attachments, fears, and concerns by keeping your mind inside your own heart. Rest in being. Like this, your life is always fresh and imbued with pure joy and timeless presence. Be happy, wise and free   ~ Moojilinktr.ee/christinabauerintuitive

 Health is the greatest possession.~ Contentment is the greatest treasure.~Confidence is the greatest friend.~Non-being is the greatest joy.~Lao Tzulinktr.ee/christinabauerintuitive

Your own Self-realization is the greatest service you can render the world.~Ramana Maharshilinktr.ee/christinabauerintuitive

Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment. Buddhalinktr.ee/christinabauerintuitive

Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It's a relationship between equals. Only when we know our own darkness well can we be present with the darkness of others. Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity.~Pema Chodronlinktr.ee/christinabauerintuitive

 In the stillness of your presence, you can feel your own formless and timeless reality as the unmanifested life that animates your physical form. You can then feel the same life deep within every other human and every other creature. You look beyond the veil of form and separation. This is the realization of oneness. This is loveEckhart Tollelinktr.ee/christinabauerintuitive

If you make human company too important you will not discover your true Self. Relationships not based in truth are never entirely reliable and are rarely enduring.Taking time to discover yourself is the best use of time.Prioritize this.One should not excessively seek partners or friends, one should seek to know and be oneself. As you begin to awaken to the Truth, you start noticing how well life flows by itself and how well you are cared for. Life supports the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual needs of the one who is open to self-discovery. Trust opens your eyes to the recognition of this. Surrender allows you to merge in your own eternal being.. ~ Moojilinktr.ee/christinabauerintuitive

The Ego, however, is not who you really are. The ego is your self-image; it is your social mask; it is the role you are playing. Your social mask thrives on approval. It wants control, and it is sustained by power, because it lives in fear. ~Deepak Chopralinktr.ee/christinabauerintuitive

You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment.~Henry David Thoreaulinktr.ee/christinabauerintuitive

If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy, if a blade of grass springing up in the fields has power to move you, if the simple things of nature have a message that you understand, rejoice, for your soul is alive.Eleonora Duselinktr.ee/christinabauerintuitive

Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.Viktor Frankllinktr.ee/christinabauerintuitive

Grace is available for each of us every day - our spiritual daily bread - but we've got to remember to ask for it with a grateful heart and not worry about whether there will be enough for tomorrow.~Sarah Ban Breathnachlinktr.ee/christinabauerintuitive

If you abandon the present moment, you cannot live the moments of your daily life deeply.Thich Nhat Hanhlinktr.ee/christinabauerintuitive

Exercise, prayer, and meditation are examples of calming rituals. They have been shown to induce a happier mood and provide a positive pathway through life's daily frustrations.Chuck Norrislinktr.ee/christinabauerintuitive

In every day, there are 1,440 minutes. That means we have 1,440 daily opportunities to make a positive impact.~ Les Brownlinktr.ee/christinabauerintuitive

Promise YourselfTo be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.To talk health, happiness, and prosperityto every person you meet.To make all your friends feelthat there is something in themTo look at the sunny side of everythingand make your optimism come true.To think only the best, to work only for the best,and to expect only the best.To be just as enthusiastic about the success of othersas you are about your own.To forget the mistakes of the pastand press on to the greater achievements of the future.To wear a cheerful countenance at all timesand give every living creature you meet a smile.To give so much time to the improvement of yourselfthat you have no time to criticize others.To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear,and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world,not in loud words but great deeds.To live in faith that the whole world is on your sideso long as you are true to the best that is in you.  ~ Christian D Larsonlinktr.ee/christinabauerintuitive 

When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares. ~Henry Nouwen "Out of Silence" linktr.ee/christinabauerintuitive 

Embracing Our Inner Warrior to Create World PeaceTibetan legend has it that the Kingdom of Shambhala rises when the world is in danger of annihilating itself through greed and corruption.It says that this is a time when two great powers, one in the West and one in the East, are set on destruction and, though they have much in common, are focused only on the accumulation of weapons of unimaginable horror, intent on crushing each other. It seems the survival of every sentient being is at threat. It is a time of apocalypse. A time, it seems to many, that may be upon us now. It is then that the Warriors of Shambhala arise and bring about great healing. It is at this time of great turmoil and fear that the kingdom of Shambhala arises. And from this kingdom comes warriors to overthrow the purveyors of hate and weapons. The Shambhala warriors know that the forces of destruction do not come from outside ourselves but from within; that it is our own greed and fear and hate that creates the weapons that now threaten the world. In order to bring about change within the corridors of power and dismantle the weapons that threaten to destroy us all, these spiritual warriors must train in weapons of their own. These two essential weapons are compassion and insight. Compassion is essential because it moves us – when we are open to feeling the pain of others, we are driven to act to ease that suffering. However, compassion alone is not enough. We can become burnt out and angry and filled with despair, overwhelmed by the pain we feel around us. Insight is needed alongside compassion to give structure to our warmth. Our passionate hearts need to be combined with a rational understanding of the interconnectedness and interrelatedness of all things so that we realise, it is not a battle between external forces, but a coming to terms with the good and the bad within every human heart.Insight brings with it the knowledge that every action, undertaken with pure intent, creates a ripple of healing in the world that has repercussions far greater than we can imagine. Alone insight can be too cool and detached, so it needs the heat and power of compassion to move it into action. The two combined create wise actions that can transform and heal the whole planet, especially if large numbers of warriors – an army in fact – are working on it together.FULL article here   https://upliftconnect.com/legend-shambhala-warriors/linktr.ee/christinabauerintuitive 

Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that. Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it. Martin Luther King Jr.linktr.ee/christinabauerintuitive

Die to everything of yesterday, so that your mind is always fresh, always young, innocent, full of vigour and passion.Jiddu Krishnamurtilinktr.ee/christinabauerintuitive 

“In oneself lies the whole world and if you know how to look and learn, the door is there and the key is in your hand. Nobody on earth can give you either they key or the door to open, except yourself.”? Jiddu Krishnamurtilinktr.ee/christinabauerintuitive

"The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation but your thoughts about it." ~ Eckhart Tollelinktr.ee/christinabauerintuitive 

"The next time you lose heart and you can’t bear to experience what you’re feeling, you might recall this instruction: change the way you see it and lean in. Instead of blaming our discomfort on outer circumstances or on our own weakness, we can choose to stay present and awake to our experience, not rejecting it, not grasping it, not buying the stories that we relentlessly tell ourselves. This is priceless advice that addresses the true cause of suffering—yours, mine, and that of all living beings." ~ Pema Chodronlinktr.ee/christinabauerintuitive
