Move beyond words, effort & action

Liara Covert — Fri, 25 May 2012 01:44:31 +0000

In this life, you are taught you must count on your words, your effort and action to make stuff happen. This is the voice of the logical mind. Yet, at any given moment, what if what appears in your life or seems out of reach actually relates to how much you love and appreciate yourself or resist the love that is always available to you? Pristine clarity is.

As you love not because you fear the absence of it but because you can, because it feels natural, and sense love is flowing freely, you know love as something unconditional. Suddenly, its easy to expect wonderful things to happen to you, to receive love because you are lovable. The universe responds in kind. It showers you in love in spite of what is going on around you. As you align with love, you allow conditions, people and things to show up in your life. You express gratitude for everything. Expect the unexpected. See what happens.

At the core, you are naturally high on life. Simply step back from whatever is bothering you (in the Mind). Allow yourself to see the Self as pure harmony. At soul level, satisfaction reveals itself as present and accessible. When you are loving, you open an invisible valve. Presto! Positive feelings and vibrations flow. Opportunities are visible. Experiences you are hoping for fall into place. You know financing, well-being or windfall is right here and now.

When you are willing to be selfish enough to be attentive to how you feel, you can release all the thoughts that hold you apart from what enables you to feel whole, healthy, energized. You rendez -vous with that place where all dreams, wishes, hopes and visions are held. As you decide that you are going to tend to the gap between whatever you are experiencing and whatever you are becoming, life takes a whole new shape for you. Fulfillment takes shape. Satisfying life experiences swallow you up. Allow the history of your future to emerge.

Note you can never do anything wrong on a perpetual growth curve. You simply allow yourself to see what is really here or block this view with thoughts and behavior. Forgiveness also withdraws attention from unconditional love. As you sense how easy it is to appreciate being you, life is easy. Everything good comes to you. Nothing else crosses your radar.

Do yourself a BIG favour: Think on purpose, speak on purpose, act on purpose.

Master your fear

Liara Covert — Wed, 23 May 2012 21:57:36 +0000

How often do you hear people share undesirable expectations? You may hear people say they expect to get older, weaker, unhealthier and imagine more reasons for fear to arise. Notice if people are quick tell you why they cannot do something or what their limitations are. Watch thoughts passing through your mind and feelings in your bones. Why would you fear something that is good? You wouldn't. Yet, if you are looking in opposition, you look at the absence at what you think is good and feel fear.

If you notice any negative or pessimistic thoughts, then part of you is open to the possibility that things are not going well or things are deteriorating. When you allow yourself to believe this, you forget what you think about creates your experience. You always have the power to shift your attention and change your thoughts. It is a choice to shift focus away from peace of mind and knowing in the heart that all is always well.

What if you could train the mind to believe anything? What if you decide to believe you are feeling younger, stronger, and more energized than ever before? What if you convince yourself that you are getting more creative, attractive and inspired? What if your appetite is changing? General good feelings set the stage for more good things.

On a more concrete note, what if you imagine that your business is growing, your health is improving, that you close the deal with ease, that your dreams are all within reach? Notice what happens as you allow yourself to see beyod the apparent 'here and now.' The vision of health, success, contentment, fulfillment, love and acceptance exist whether you allow yourself to experience it listen to emotions that distract you or not.

Be tuned in, tapped in, turned on

Liara Covert — Tue, 22 May 2012 06:11:10 +0000

What opportunites are right in front of you? If you feel off course more than you feel on course, you allow yourself to focus on doubt, fear and negative energy. Fortunately, you can be off course repeatedly and still reach an envisioned destination. All roads lead home.

Recognize these 10 things:

1) If you believe you are on or off course, then you are right.

2) Everyone has to define and feel his own way to success.

3) Dare dream your ideal. The how flows as creative inspiration while you draft the plans.

4) Workable options always exist. Allow them to make that dream more real.

5) Luck is preparedness meeting opportunity. You make your own luck.

6) Within every challenge is an equal or greater benefit.

7) Whatever thought you devise, the universe is telling you how.

8) You are already creating the ideal scenario. You are receptive to it or not.

9) Everything is possible to experience in a healthy and positive way.

10) You are about to recreate how everything unfolds in your physical life.

Build on the legacy

Liara Covert — Mon, 21 May 2012 07:14:23 +0000

Whatever you do in life, do what you love. Sense your legacy. How do you see it? For whom is this legacy really? People you know and/or do not know? What about yourself?

At different life stages, notice what happens to your priorities. Notice what you begin to recognize emerging in 'the purpose of it all.' Notice what you have an urge to do or share more consciously, what you wish to give back as a gift or gesture to leave the world a little better than as you found it. Ponder some examples;

1) Pinpoint key moments and experiences. Notice what you view as defining factors of or influence on your drive, focus and love for your discipline, livlihood, people or series of career moves. How does all this factor into the bigger picture?

2) Networks & Communities. Notice your core motivation. The focus on networking is this: What *I* can learn, what am *I* interested in, how can *I* increase *my* visibility and growth. Networking is generally *self*interested.

The focus on community is more selfless in nature. Together *we* co-create know-how, build bridges, orphanages, wells, hospitals, schools, animal shelters/ reserves, endowments, foundations, non-profits and other projects. The view is nobody is as effective or far-reaching as *all*. Altruistic networks emerge.

3) Connect with the hero inside yourself. Notice how it feels to be balanced and fully human,. That is, appreciate each aspect of yourself asit is and all the wisdom that arises through experience, Notice what stands out in your current awareness, who or what compliments or enriches your existence.

4) Acknowledge what is burning inside you. This is a wake-up call. You are beginning a process that is like a deep form of soul-searching. Take notice of who or what you are helping in your daily practice and what comes into your awareness to cature your attention. Do you have the inclination to give time, money, services or something else out of generosity? Who are you helping? Notice where and when you desire nothing in return.

5) Allow energy to flow and watch- see beyond the physical things and potential effort exerted to the energy that speaks through you. Love and serve yourself and others. This kind of legacy speaks through vibration, waves, nature and that which is beyond words.

Share your perspective on building on a legacy. What does it mean at this stage of life? Is it something you do, are doing must do, cannot do or something else?

Find fun everywhere you go

Liara Covert — Sun, 20 May 2012 10:10:46 +0000

Know there are fun people to encounter and delight you around every corner. Stay in a general state of positive expectation. Feel good. Be excited. Say and do things to uplift people. You need not explore unhappiness in order to experience happiness. Joy is here now. Express it. Allow it to flow freely through you and notice what happens to the world around you.

Consider this: its not your job to always identify things that make you happy. The vision itself does not matter but how you feel does. Imagine what inspires you and create uplifting feelings. Allow yourself to feel impatient, disappointed or negative, and block light-heartedness, as well as seeing what is here. As you choose to love where you are and have fun wherever you go, everything hits the spot. You stop looking for what you already have.

Everything is flowing smoothly

Liara Covert — Fri, 18 May 2012 07:12:03 +0000

Imagine how it feels to know everything is always flowing smoothly. Move your perception of reality. Focus where you would like to be and feel as though you are here. All good feelings are linked to a sense of freedom. All negative feelings are linked to imagining a lack of freedom. Know accidents and mistakes are figments of the imagination. Only perfect timing exists. Everything that grabs you attention is for your own good. Love, generosity and acceptance flow unless you allow mind or thought to get in the way. Be the genie in charge of your own magic lamp. Grant your wishes.

As you step back, watch thoughts crossing the path of your mind. Ignore echoes that say anything is wrong , that say life, a project or dream is difficult, that would have you believe in physical, financial, psychological or other limitations. Nothing exists unless you believe it. So, whether you believe you can or can't, you prove yourself right. Why not set your sights on what matters and make it happen?

Look deep into the heart. Perception is not fixed. Notice what is real. Show and be pure compassion and this is all the universe reflects back through the eyes and behaviour of perceived others. Imagine how you can help people solve their problems, do that, and know you are also helping yourself.

The key to happiness

Liara Covert — Wed, 16 May 2012 03:44:08 +0000

Recognize that nothing comes into your life without your attention. Nothing stays in your life without your attention either. Pay attention to passing thoughts. Listen to your words. Observe your behaviour. Notice your experience unfolds based on you.

When you choose to feel joy, this is evidence of success. When you choose to talk about why you feel unhappy or why life is not going well, is it any wonder your experience reflects your words? You always get what you ask for. This also goes beyond words.

Take for example a woman who used to complain and self-criticize. She came to me and said one of her goals was to engage in a healthy, loving relationship. Unaware of the impact of her behaviours, she told me she slept in the middle of a big bed, filled her two sided closet with stuff, used one of her garages for storage and the other for a car. She also worked crazy hours with no social life. As she raised awareness, she began to see she was not being kind to herself or others and not making space for anyone to enter her life. Amazing things happen as you make space in the home and the heart. She cleaned out half her closet and started sleeping on one side of the bed. She chose to work less, was kinder to people because she could be not because she had to be. She began to see all life experience invites her to love herself more. As she did, in thought, word and deed, the perfect partner entered her life. She discovered the key to happiness is loving yourself.

Another example is a man who sees his family moving from a rental to owning a home. He takes great pleasure from the vision. He knows that nurturing joyful feelings is bringing a good feeling space closer in his reality. It has to feel like the next logical step. Grateful for the location and convenience of the rental, the whole family is also eager for what is coming. They appreciate the natural surroundings of their new suburb, visit houses, post an image of the house to buy like a vision board on the wall and look at it often. They explore furniture showrooms, discuss how to remodel parts of the new house and add solar panels. They develop a related business plan. Although a banker said they do not currently qualify for the mortgage they want, they remain optimistic. They thank the banker for his advice while sensing money comes from varied sources. They know the 'what' always comes before the 'how.' They behave as though details are in motion, give away belongings they no longer use, and do things you do as you prepare to move. They trust the universe has a plan. Life shows them the key to happiness is to be joyful where you are and focus beyond the limits of the mind.

Another example is a woman who asks me guidance in identifying her life purpose. I remind her that she has nothing to figure out and nobody to live up to. We are each eternal beings who create our paths and everything about our experience. Its easy to forget that well-intentioned people train you away from your own inner guidance system. I say to the woman as I say here you cannot make decisions that are the best for you while pleasing others. There is no finished portrait of your mission that you can ever reach. You move incrementally through experiences that are simply meant to make you feel good. So, you cannot get off your path. You can only live a purposeful life. You can be deliberate about creating or not. You are consciously in love with life and express this, receive and feel this fully or not. For this woman, the key to happiness is to recognize events unfold based on how she feels and what she chooses to experience.

Ultimately, the key to happiness is the feeling of worthiness in all you do, knowing your value, that whatever you do you are winning, getting ahead, living the dream, that whatever anyone else is thinking or doing is irrelevant. As you get a handle on how you feel, its like allowing yourself to be who you are. In this state, everything comes to you. Even to feel negative emotion is pointing to who you really are. Take this away:

1) Dwelling on 'what is', on what the mind judges is wrong or not possible prevents what could be from coming. Ignoring 'what is' is as simple as focusing on something else.

2) Love yourself as the larger part of you does. You only suffer if you cut yourself off from love and acceptance. You are the creator from the beginning to the end. Know what you do and do not want. Know what feels not good and what feels better.

3) Revel in contrast. Come into alignment with the best feeling thought you can find. Rather than saying, "It could be worse if...", say instead, "It is so great that..." or "It is fantastic that..." or "Its truly a blessing that..." or "It is so fortunate that..."

4) Be eager and solutions-oriented when apparent obstacles arise. Remind yourself that more than one way to do things and to get places exists. Be resourceful.

5) Be someone who chronically appreciates everything. reach out and help others because it is the right thing to do. Be generous with no expectations. Know you are living a good life. Achieve the vibration consistently and watch what happens.

6) Feel fulfilled as you are, wherever you are, and then like magic, "it" comes.

You are guided

Liara Covert — Tue, 15 May 2012 11:29:01 +0000

You are guided every second of every day. This guidance invites you to be aware of everything around you without deciding anything, without attaching. Listen closely. Take the perspective that you always get to where you are supposed to go at the right time for the right purpose. Be glad about it. You always encounter the right people who point you toward what you ask to see. This is how it is. It cannot be any other way. See without the judgmental mind. See the blessings in all you notice, get and do not get.

If time seems to get in the way, or conditions seem to push your emotional buttons, recall who creates time and who is observing all emotion and signals in your being. Who is the light behind the projector? Who is in charge of the inputs and outputs of energy and infinite senses? Watch and allow them to operate. Trust in your guidance. Appreciate whatever happens. Its all a blessing in disguise. Its your creation. Allow energies to move backwards, forwards and in all directions. Be gentle. Watch what happens as you allow energies to flow through you easily. The universe honours you.

The biggest thing that stirs the world up is not moving in-tune with your being.

Why build a business?

Liara Covert — Mon, 14 May 2012 12:30:21 +0000

It is said that silence is the loudest voice within you and yet, you may not choose to hear it. The silence that looks after us is within every movement, even in noise. Notice voices within that are getting louder. They mirror people you encounter. This tells you that you are consciously willing to hear and integrate what they say into your life.

Take for example, entrepreneurial ideas that suddenly grab your attention. You may have a night dream like Alexander Graham Bell did about the phone or like Thomas Edison did about a thing he calls a lightbulb. You may simply wish to apply skills you have in a new way. You are always guided. Yet, do you allow the heart to speak?

Perhaps you outgrow your workplace, have a local or internationl business idea and wonder what to do. Perhaps you are a stay-at-home parent who recognizes you no longer wish to do the same job you did before. Perhaps you are made redundant and see this as an opportunity to turn over a new leaf. Perhaps you have lived an experience that transforms you, brings you wisdom you wish to share and use to help others. Perhaps your existing business would benefit from guidance to flourish. Do not believe that if the world shows you you failed that you have. The overall intention or vision of a situation is held by a field of intention. The vision can trickle down and manifest.

Ultimately, its not what you do that matters, but how you feel about it. Your life is about the changes that evolve within you, how you honour and respect yourself. Something inside you always knows what to do. This is not associated with familiar senses or thinking. Notice your level of expectation gets in the way of seeing synchonicity and allowing joy to flow freely through you. Tap into that inner sense of precision and clarity. Active energies are present within you every moment. The energy keeps you here and the power of intention guides you around the next bend.

Know you are always in the perfect place to meet your goals head on. Be aware. Every encounter is synchonicity. Everything points toward the insight you reach for. Ask a question. The answer is given. How you interpret this determines what you do next.

Be open to receive guidance. Recognize what you are asking for. Whatever form the dream takes, acknowledge and go for it. This is the first moment in the rest of your life.

Come to your senses

Liara Covert — Mon, 14 May 2012 01:33:30 +0000

Falling asleep is easy. Notice how many people are sleepwalking through life. Have you ever had the feeling that anyone is falling awake? Are you connected with yourself, your passion, your destiny? Who is asking this question? Who is answering it?

Many people have the impression their life is splitting apart. Notice your own inner conflict? You may think you want one thing while you are doing another. If you work in one place, you may wish to work somewhere else or shift focus to start a business. If you are involved in one relationship, you may wish to be involved in another.

If you feel restless, think you want to go "there" while part of you is here, this is an invitation to recognize the nature of overthinking. If you have a body, a mind and especially if you have a cell phone to interrupt you, why not come to your senses?

Notice five familiar senses are sending you messages. The non-conceptual sixth sense is also active. Which ones do you hear and overlook? Senses reveal everything. The mind judges or shifts focus from what no longer matters. Notice the focus of your attention. How do you feel about it? What does this reveal about wakefulness? and tainted views?

Notice the diversions in your life of wants, fear, doubt and pain. Notice when you feel suppressed, repressed, or like you are running from something. How many times during the day do you interrupt yourself in thought and speech? Forget what matters?

Everything invites you to ponder what it means to be here in this moment. Listen with your bones, your organs, your flesh and your whole being. Reflect on your life with an open heart and pure compassion. Notice what you see deep within. The distinct possibility exists you are re-introducing yourself to who you truly are. When not grounded by thoughts, time and space, then what happens to 'you?' Next time you are in the shower, notice who or what is in there with you. Notice the mind wanders away from the refreshing water and lather. Next time you are in public transit, notice the mind churning. Areyou asleep while awake? What sort of trail are 'you' leaving?

Do this simple exercise: be aware of the breath. This is mindfulness or non-judgmental awareness. It invites us to be aware of what is fundamental in life rather than on what the mind thinks is urgent. Notice thoughts that arise as the mind prompts you run on an endless treadmill. Notice the mind distracts you from the breath and just living.

Ever had the experience that you can see without seeing? Its like something is in front of you but you only notice it when you are ready. Something knows where you came from before you were born and observes everything all the time. We also only see and hear what we are willing to accept. Meditation allows mindfulness to arise. It enables you to cultivate intimacy with what is ordinary. Stop taking what comes naturally for granted.

How often are you true to yourself? The problem is not with doing anything in particular, its with the personal pronouns you use to identify with something you think has virtue. It is not what we do that matters but being aware of it and allowing ourselves to feel deeply. Allow yourself to be at home in all of the senses. Bring the mind home to awareness and refine your capacity to see things as they are. The challenge is to atop doing all that gets in the way. This is advanced training in the art of living.
