Patterns and Variations

We live with patterns and variations throughout our lives.

As our needs change, so do the patterns and their variations.

We may have a need for companionship or we may need to be alone.

We may enjoy our location in a large metropolitan area or we may prefer a more relaxed rural setting.

We may need the independence of private transportation or we may be well served by public transportation.

Staying attuned to our needs and listening for how the Universe fulfills them gives us new patterns and variations.

We are taken well beyond even our largest imagination.

We are given intimacies and connections which are stronger than we could plan.

Our life, in the hands of the Divine, takes on new strength and happiness.

When we sense a new pattern, we can watch as its variations evolve.

In our life, we are able to embrace the new patterns which serve us.

We are able to expand our outreach and service as the new pattern and its variations evolve.

As we listen within, we are guided to take the steps which are most appropriate in the development of our ideas and gifts.

We can have the fulfillment and satisfaction of renewed energy as we shift to follow the new pattern and see its benefits for all who are placed to receive them.

Change the Pattern

If there is something that is not working for you, there is a way you can help yourself.

You can change your pattern and that will interrupt some element which is creating the problem.

Your habits of thought and action have brought you to where you are.

When you change any aspect of that, it will begin to change what is producing the disturbance.

You may have to change several parts of your life pattern in order to bring about the improvement you seek.

If you are serious about living better, you will continue until you rewrite whatever is necessary.

There is always room for you to create more upliftment in your life.

As you fill yourself with inspiring ideas, you can feel a change for the better.

Your own desire to live above your problems will keep bringing answers to you.

Creative input will yield an uplifting pattern change.

As you write, draw, dance, cook, walk in Nature, read, you will be drawn into a life full of new ideas.

You will discover what feels best to you and as you invest your time in doing it, you pattern will change.

Once you are involved in living your life with a different emphasis, you may sense other deep feelings.

You may become open to a deeper new direction.

Continue your creative practice and listen within.

Your new direction will uplift you into healing.

You will move far beyond correcting the original problem which brought you to this process of pattern change.

You will see yourself in a much much generous light.

Your desire to solve yor poroblem and your willingness to change the elements which were causing it has rendered you more valuable in another direction.

You are now an agent for healing.

Your experience alone will become inspiring to others.

If you feel called, you may find yourself involved more directly in helping others change their pattern to rise above their problems.

The upliftment you now feel and the confidence you have gained give you a much higher position.

Your gain can spill over into the lives of others for their betterment.

Deep Peace and Security

I have deep peace within.

Finding this has been the best thing that has ever happened to me.

I can always reference my deep peace.

It is always within me.

There is no doubt in it.

I am always sure of its guidance.

I can act with confidence.

My little steps, taken with assurance, give me the feeling I need to take big steps.

When I open myself to deep peace, that is what I receive.

When I open myself to confidence and assurance, that is what I receive.

When I open myself to guidance, I can take appropriate action, becuase that is what I receive.

When I give my attention to the divine within, I receive the resources I need.

When other see this and learn to practice it, they, too, receive assurance and peace and resources.

This is a fail-safe way to live.

By placig complete reliance on guiadance from within, we are able to access the rich resources of the Universe.

This expansive and immediate network is always present.

It is full of variety and interest.

We do not live in fear, because we are in contact with the best in the Universe.

All who are uplifted in this manner, live in security and wholeness.

It is available to all who cultivate the desire for contact with the divine within.

Being in Accord

As my purpose and definition grows clearer, others see it and respond.

Just by living my high ideals, I find I am being drawn to places where people who need what I have can find me.

The problems I have been solving for myself provide common ground and my solutions are helpful.

My natural interests and tendencies place me where I love to be, doing work I love to do.

My happiness and balance attract those who are ready for what I have to offer.

I find I am naturally moving into the place I belong.

I move gently into doing my true work.

I am protective and considerate of myself as I evolve in this new direction.

I am being tenderly restored and I must not allow any interruptions.

My tentative steps are becoming firmer.

I trust my strengthening inner guidance.

My path has seemed to meander but it included everything I need.

My impatience has dissolved as I begin to sense the scope of my work.

All the required preparation has been done to this point.

The time provided has been adequate.

I listen quietly within, ready to receive the next gift, the next step.

I am peaceful as I calmly contemplate the poise I exhibit.

I am secure and assured in my new direction.

I am on a completely new track with everything I need to sustain myself and to thrive.

I am in accord throughout my life.

I rest and listen.

The Power of Connection

I am so grateful to discover the power of connection.

Breaking the isolation by joining communities of women creates a feeling of safety.

Locally, in my quilting, knitting and weaving groups, I have enjoyed being part of a group of people who are having the same kinds of experiences.

There is always someone who can offer advice, not only about our craft, but about the life experiences we are dealing with.

Knowing we are not alone, that there are others, is immensely reassuring.

In my on-line arts groups, people are able to share aspects of their life journies, which enable us to connect through our own experiences.

Connection forstalls the panic which comes from a feeling of isolation and overwhelm.

Connection creates a comfort zone of safety.

Connection establishes normal daily conversation and sharing.

Each neighborhood has its own character.

This is true in real life and on-line.

A sharing community is full of support.

People know one another, conversations take place.

Little adjustments occur daily between lots of people.

Anyone is welcome as a member and participant.

There are standards of integrity and purpose.

We are able to expand our skills and enjoy the camaraderie of like-minds.

Building connections starts with what we have in common.

When we truly feel safe enough, we can be inclusive, not to change anyone else, but to expand our own view.

Creating connections requires that we venture beyond our own view in order to be more understanding of the world and how it works.

Observing other cultures by being immersed in them or by meeting people form other cultures in your home state allows you to embrace something larger than yourself.

You define yourself,not by your barriers, but by your ability to see others as living valid lives as well.

The cultural context of life exists in many dimentions.

It is our privilege to create the connections which build more understanding.

Finding Contentment

As I develop new skills, I am finding contentment in how they fit into and redefine my life.

With such a supportive community, it is easy to take steps to learn new skills.

This has been happening over and over again each time I explore the next skill.

Experienced folks welcome me in.

Each new welcoming space is a safe place for beginningers.

Each step in the development of a beginner is anticipated and supported.

Each new step is acknowledged and celebrated.

Each step takes me further into the community

As I develop my skills vocabulary, I am repeating a process which has gone on for millenia as women support one another in their many and varied communites.

This is what creates the fabric of a community.

Otherwise, it is just a factory.

I think we are moving away from the factory consciusness of “just get it done” to nurturing awareness.  

I know that I am doing this in my own life.

There are so many places in the world which need a nurturing practice.

The small communities where this exists are the key to rewriting the current societal practices.

We can nurture everyone with respect and compassion and help create the connections which support us all in our work as a community.

Building communities is the most common and natural work since the beginning of civiization.

We can create the nurturing interactive practices of the recent past.

We can find contentment instead of rushing after more and more.

We can practice craftmanship and excellence and be welcoming instead of competitive and harassing.

Through nurturing our skills and the people who develop them, we can live with contentment.

Each one can practice this as we each felt drawn to it.

As we discover what feeds our soul and creates contentment, we can welcome others into our communities.

We can live with contentment throughout our communities.

Reaching Out

It is a step forward when we can reach out for help.

It gives us a way to connect with resources outside of ourselves.

We can build up our confidence by having outside acknowledgement of our legitimate troubles.

With the burden of guilt removed, we can move in the direction of realignment for ourselves.

We can build the foundation which reflects our true values.

We can discover our legitimate freedom.

We can acquire the connections to the little things which define our life.

We can create a smooth flow to our life.

We can release the things which do not make sense and replace them with things which do.

We can receive the reward for our excellent work.

We can receive the credit for our original and innovative ideas.

Reaching out allows us to let in more light to our own creativity and value.

We are empowered to gain resources which uplift us.

We can choose the relationships which make us feel valued.

We can find our independence from blockages, now that we know where they come from.

Our energy can be turned into progress instead of defense.

We can live in a way which creates happiness for ourselves.

We can live in a way which expands our prospects.

We can become aware of our limitless possiblities.

Removing the numbness and dissocation allows us to observe and connect with the world around us.

Our connections are important to us.

We are no longer isolated by misdefinition and misdirection.

We are included and inclusive in friendships and associations.

We find new peace in acknowledging our needs as we find help and support.
