“On Being Awake” by Mary Morrissey

Buddha was once asked a series of questions by his followers. “Are you an angel?” they asked. He said, “No.” “Are you a saint?” they asked. He said, “No.” “Then who are you?” they asked. The Buddha said, “I am awake.”

So today is an opportunity to practice being more wakeful. To be awake is to recognize the miracle of aliveness. We can be awake and, instead of trying to hunt for miracles, we can realize everything is a miracle.

I am reminded that the word “awake” implies that some of the time we will get a little bit sleepy. We will be tempted to agree with conditions before us that aren’t in alignment with the life we would love to create. So today, be awake to the miracles, and you will see them everywhere and in the most ordinary things.

To Staying Awake,

“Practice Seeing Essence” by Mary Morrissey

One of the greatest gifts you can bring every person you meet this day is to truly see them. I don’t mean just seeing people at the personality level, or as their history or what they look like at a physical level.

Instead, let’s make the practice about seeing essence. Practice seeing the “being” inside the human being. Practice seeing the great soul in the amazing disguise of the human flesh. In that seeing, you are actually helping anchor heaven on earth. By the seeing, you’re helping someone before you to feel truly seen and recognized for their beauty and brilliance.

Practice seeing essence today, and you’ll LOVE what you see in people!

Celebrating Your Essence,

“The Beauty of Being-ness” by Mary Morrissey

Have you ever paused to think that you are really a human being, and not a human “doing”? Today is an invitation for you to pause in your normal activity, to set aside your “to do list” and enter deeply into the magnificent feeling of your “being-ness.”

Today is an opportunity to be available to life as it flows through you. Be available to the mystery today. Be available to the awe, rapture and wonder of your own aliveness. Experience the colors that are around you, the sounds, and notice how everything pulses with energy.

When you pause for a moment and let go of your busyness and your “to do list” you open space for appreciating the here and now. From this pause, that voice in you that always beckons you to more makes itself known. Listen to the voice of love within you; it is the voice of your own beautiful becoming.

Listen to love.

Live in Wonderment,

Mary Morrissey

“A Truly Great Day” by Mary Morrissey

What if you knew already that today is an absolutely great day? Everything that will happen this day, every person you will meet, every thought you will think; everything has been orchestrated by the universe, by the love itself in which you live, move and have your being.

Trust that right now you’re in the midst of a great day. If there’s something you want to have happen in your life that isn’t here yet, use today to celebrate it as if it were already here. Thank the universe in this moment for your fulfillment.

Right here and right now, live this day from the perspective, “Wow, thank you! This is a great day!”

Celebrating You,

Mary

“Doubt Free Living” by Mary Morrissey

If a farmer plants corn in her field, she knows that at the end of the season, she will harvest corn. She won’t starting doubting in the corn, worrying that tomatoes will pop up.

So it is in consciousness. What you focus on will manifest. If you doubt that process, you are out of harmony with the Law. Trust that what you plant is what you will harvest!

Today, proceed without doubt. Trust in your desires, and expect all good to come to you. You will eventually be harvesting the seeds you plant today, so plant wisely!

To Your Harvest,

Mary Morrissey

“Trust In Your Supply” by Mary Morrissey

No desire is felt until the supply is ready to appear. That is the truth.

The minute you have a desire, it is immediately in the Law of Mind, in the Law of Receiving.

The supply exists at a level that you are not aware of, but when you embrace your desire and expect its fulfillment, you draw it to you.

The Law is infinite; it does not withhold any more than the law of mathematics could withhold numbers.

You may make mistakes as you find your way, but they enable you by their correction to better know the Law.

Trust in your supply.

Expect Greatly,

Mary Morrissey

Happy Mother’s Day

A special Mother’s Day message…

You are loved and appreciated.

Please share with those you care about.

To Your Best Life,
Mary

“Trust Your Desire” by Mary Morrissey

True desire represents the urge of life, seeking a fuller expression through you.

When you desire something with your whole self, like a fulfilling relationship, or a satisfying career, that is life itself desiring to be expressed through you!

You can trust it. A true, heart-felt desire is kept alive by a continuous expectation of its fulfillment.

Trust that the ever-upward urge in you is seeking a greater, fuller, freer life, and will bring to you the ways and the means for its manifestation.

Desire Greatly,

Mary Morrissey

“On The Law Of Receiving” by Mary Morrissey

The Law of Receiving is activated through the practice of giving.

That means through the pure pleasure of giving.

It is not activated by looking in your wallet and mumbling, “Well, what can I afford?”, but a giving that is in harmony with the life you want to lead.

The activation of the Law of Receiving in your life is very powerful.

I suggest an experiment in the regular practice of giving, just for 30 days, then just notice what’s happened in your receiving. My belief is that if you do this with a good heart, you will never look back.

Give with Your Whole Heart,

Mary Morrissey

“The Divine Classroom” by Mary Morrissey

I love reading the poetry of Hafiz, the Persian poet in the 1300’s who in his poetry writes about having a love affair with life itself, right in the midst of our daily living.

He writes this one sweet little poem that I want to offer you today for consideration.

“We have all come to the right place. We all sit in God’s classroom. Now, the only thing left for us to do my dear, is to stop throwing spitballs for a while.”

What a wonderful thought! Here you are, and the curriculum of your daily life is perfect. The spit-balls are merely thoughts of, “I want this to be different.”

What if we could stop throwing spit-balls and start embracing, opening up to, and inviting the curriculum of love to have its way today? What a wonderful day you can create.

Enjoy the Classroom,

Mary Morrissey
