Understanding Universal Laws

Understanding Universal Laws
Navigating life's intricacies can sometimes feel overwhelming. However, understanding the 12 Laws of the Universe can offer profound insights into the nature of existence, helping us create a life of abundance and harmony. These laws, from the Law of Divine Oneness to the Law of Gender, encompass the fundamental truths that everything in the universe is interconnected, our thoughts and actions have powerful consequences, and the importance of finding balance within ourselves. By embracing these laws, we can deepen our spiritual well-being and personal growth, fostering a greater sense of peace and fulfillment.

In the realm of personal development and wellness, these universal laws offer practical applications that can enhance our daily lives. For example, the Law of Vibration and the Law of Attraction remind us that our thoughts and emotions have the power to shape our reality. This knowledge encourages us to cultivate positivity, practice gratitude, and align our actions with our highest goals. Furthermore, the Law of Polarity and the Law of Rhythm teach us to appreciate the natural flow of life, finding balance and resilience through its ups and downs. These principles serve as a guide to navigating challenges, seizing opportunities, and achieving harmony.

Integrating these laws into our wellness routines can be further enriched by incorporating holistic practices, such as the use of essential oils. High-quality oils, like those offered by Young Living, carry unique frequencies that can harmonize with our own energy fields, supporting emotional balance, mental clarity, and physical wellness. Whether we're seeking to uplift our spirits, foster relaxation, or boost our immune system, essential oils can be powerful allies on our journey to holistic health. By embracing the wisdom of the 12 Laws of the Universe and incorporating natural remedies into our lives, we open ourselves to a world of unlimited potential, fostering a deep, transformative relationship with the world around us.

Fall is a Time to Release

Fall is a Time to Release
Hello 
Fall is a time to let things go.   Nature is such a wonderful way for us to physically see what happens to us as human Beings,  and to remind us that it is ok, and natural to do.  I think soo many people think they're supposed to go 100 miles an hour every day and wonder why they're miserable, or sick, or whatever.  We need the different seasons in our lives.  Our body varies with the seasons just like the trees and plants.  I want to encourage you to let things fall away if they are going in that direction.   It's ok to let go of things that weigh you down.  It's ok to let go of excessive baggage.   It's ok to allow the feelings to come up and out.   Fall and winter are times to pause and reflect, and prepare our roots for the new growth in the spring. Breathe and release my friends, breathe and release.  

 As much as I love summer, I believe fall and spring are my favorite times of year.  Which season is your favorite? 

Speaking of Fall I want to share some fall recipes

Your Mindset is the Key


Have you ever wondered why some people are successful and others aren't? There is a reason for it. Our mindset will help us achieve what we want in life. A positive mindset allows us to get through difficult times and achieve our goals.

Our mindset is the impetus that drives our actions

Our mindset is the impetus that drives our actions. It's also the life we lead!
In other words, if you have a positive and healthy mindset, then it will be reflected in your everyday living and vice versa. You can't change your life without changing your mindset first!

Let go of negative thoughts

Negative thoughts are harmful to your health. They can cause stress, depression, anxiety and anger. Negative thoughts can even lead to fear or jealousy. Resentment is also a negative emotion that often comes from the false belief that we do not have enough or are not as good as others who do.

Meditation opens our minds to the higher power

Meditation is a way to focus your mind. It's a way to connect with the higher power inside of you. Meditation is also a way for you to become more aware of yourself and the world around you, as well as nature in general.

Being generous and compassionate with others helps our own well-being

  • "It's not just about the money, it's giving back," says Bobbi. "When we give, we get so much more back in return."
  • This is especially true when you're able to help someone who really needs it. For example: If a friend asks for advice on how to deal with their abusive boyfriend, you could say something as simple as: "I think you should leave him." Then your friend will be grateful for your advice and likely feel better about making changes in their life. In effect, by helping them out of an unhealthy situation, you give yourself peace of mind as well!
  • Now imagine doing this on a massive scale—for example, through charity work or political activism—and getting similar results across the entire community! The amount of joy that would come from helping everyone around us live happier lives would be exponentially greater than any amount we could ever achieve by ourselves alone!

A well rested body and mind are essential to success

Sleep is a funny thing. We all know that we need it to function, but most of us don’t think about it in the same way we think about food or water. Sleep is life-sustaining and while some people are able to get by on less than others, nobody can live without sleep for an extended period of time.
Sleep is essential for our health, our happiness, and our success at work and at home. Here are just some of the benefits:
  • A well rested body and mind are essential to success
  • Sleep helps us form memories
  • When we sleep our brains continue consolidating memories from the day into long term storage which makes them easier to access later on when needed (such as when taking a test). According to research conducted by Dr Sara Mednick at UC Irvine School Of Medicine , students who took naps before their tests had better results than students who did not take naps before their tests!  The same research showed that even after six months these students maintained higher grades than those who didn't nap before exams!  This shows how important good quality sleep really is - if you don't get enough then your brain won’t be working at 100% capacity either during waking hours or when you try catching up on lost sleep later on so make sure that each night your mind gets plenty restful hours between its “offline” moments where no one else can access what's stored there ;)

Practice gratitude for all that we have in this world.

Gratitude is the attitude of being thankful for what one has. It is a way of thinking and feeling that helps build a sense of contentment, satisfaction and fulfillment. Gratitude makes people feel more positive about their lives. It gives them something to be happy about.
It’s important to show our appreciation for the good things in life because it keeps us focused on what is important, improves our mental health and creates happiness. When we focus on negative things like money problems or relationship issues they tend to get bigger while focusing on the positives can help reduce stress and anxiety levels by reducing negative emotions such as anger or frustration which can lead to depression if left unchecked over time because you cannot control everything in your life so it's better off trying instead making yourself miserable all day long worrying about something out there that could happen but never does so why waste energy?

By keeping a positive mindset, it allows us to live a more fulfilling life

  • By keeping a positive mindset, it allows us to live a more fulfilling life. When we are positive, we can do more. We are more likely to achieve our goals and succeed in life. We are also more likely to be happy and healthy as well as generous with others.
  • The opposite is true when we have a negative mindset. A negative attitude will not allow us to do what we want in life or accomplish any of our dreams because everything seems like such an uphill battle with no way out.

Conclusion

In conclusion, our mindset is one of the most powerful tools we have at our disposal. It enables us to make the right choices and decisions when faced with difficult situations. The better we are able to control our thoughts and emotions, the less likely we will be susceptible to negative influences that may otherwise hold us back from achieving success in life.

Calm in the Storm

Calm in the Storm
Why is it when in our most stressful times we try to find solutions knowing good and full well we need to step back and breathe first.     I mean who’s experienced one thing going wrong setting off a chain reaction of more disasters?  Oh just me, ok 😂.  

My point in this is to learn to step back and breathe when stuff comes up.
Chaos:
You can’t see straight.
You can’t focus.
Your emotions are on high.  
Calm:
Solutions appear.
Focus is easy.
You’re at peace.

Let it settle.    Learn to be calm in the storm.   Yes, in the middle of the storm is calm(um, hurricanes 🌀).   Take the time to breathe. Take a time out. Walk away.    Then come back, clearer, calmer and much less likely to make a dumb decision you would’ve never made when calm.

Blessings and light to you
Love,
Casey
