“Cultivate your mind and find new ways to make your mind right.”

This was the message I woke up with after the glorious full moon eclipse. ‘Mind’ is an interesting word because it goes beyond just our thoughts; it includes perceptions and emotions as well. In the energetic realm it relates to the mental and emotional field – the field of infinite possibilities.

Edgar Cayce, an American mystic (1877-1945) who was a trance channeler said something similar, which is that “mind is the builder.” He said Spirit is the life, the mind is the builder and the physical is the result. I understand this as our thoughts and emotions create our physical reality. We are the source of manifesting.

If our mind is the builder and we recognize our ability to create our lives, how do we begin with our thoughts and feelings? First I suggest you notice the natural tone of how you think and feel on a regular basis. For instance we may notice we are constantly rushing from one place to another. And our thoughts are full of to-do lists and our feelings are like a cloud of worry that we will forget something. Our breathing is shallow and our heart races. So what are we building from this tone of living?

When we think of creating our lives we need to stay present with a simple question: What do we want? Maybe decide on one main theme — peace or joy or stability or possibly ease. From here what sort of thoughts or feelings can we work on to help create that field?

I am sending blessings and love to all you want to create.
