A very big aloha.
My name is Reverend Cindy Palos and I wanted to talk about miracles.
Now,
The thing is,
We all have different conceptions of what a miracle really is.
And now I have experienced some bonafide,
What's a bonafide miracle?
I've experienced some really amazing things that are,
In my mind,
Miracles that have happened to me over my lifetime.
In time though,
I have learned to appreciate the fact that there are miracles that are happening every day.
I'm sorry,
I can't help but think of,
Remember,
Was it Fire Drum Song?
Oh,
The Flower Drum Song,
A hundred million miracles are happening every day.
Now,
I don't know if you ever saw that great movie,
But it's true in so many ways that we are seeing miracles happen every single day.
And when you have an attitude of appreciating life as a miracle,
It changes the way you look at your life and the way your attitude about life is proceeding.
And that's a beautiful,
Beautiful gift.
Now,
I guess some of the reasons this came up is because there just was a new saint proclaimed,
Right?
And there's certain rules to what makes a saint possible.
A couple of things have to be miracles.
And the miracles have to fulfill a lot of different things.
I read what it took to qualify as a miracle.
It's pretty miraculous,
Actually.
But I'm not going for sainthood,
But I've really had some bona fide miracles.
But I have,
As I said,
Really found that there are a miracle.
There's a miracle happening every single day.
Now,
I have to always apply that to myself because life can bring about a lot of challenges.
And these days,
I think more and more things we have to encounter.
But as we continue to grow,
That's part of how we learn and we navigate,
Right?
You learn to navigate how to get through what you see that is considered to be a challenge or a difficult situation and maintain your positive attitude through that.
Now,
It's an amazing thing that we actually have to really look at our perspective on life in this way.
And it is challenging,
But it's a gift as well.
We are seeing challenges.
I just realized I have to move in about a month,
You know,
So I'm doing this now.
And by the time you listen,
I might have moved already.
But I live on Maui,
Have for 35 years.
And moving is really quite difficult after the fires,
Especially.
All the prices went sky high here.
And I feel for Los Angeles and any other places that have had fires that will be encountering what happens at that point.
But it's interesting to see how people do adapt and how they adjust and how things work out.
And I guess that really involves at the heart of that matter is faith.
It's a very deep faith in how your life is emerging and being handled by you.
And that's really keeping a positive attitude in your mind and an open mind as well.
Because if we have an open mind,
We allow things to come to us that we might have just ignored otherwise.
So when you're going through any changes in life,
There's always things that happen that can be something you never could guess would happen.
That's pretty amazing in itself,
Right?
So the value of this is,
Again,
Going back to your mindset.
How do you set your mind?
I find that the best way to set my mind every day is to do meditation.
Because that can clear away any judgments,
Any negative thoughts,
Anything that has come up that you need to work on.
And that's so important to do.
And I always like to start with just,
You know,
Getting comfortable on a meditation state and just allowing that mind to be open,
Open,
Open,
Open sesame,
Right?
To allow the magic to come in.
And to allow the energy to flow from your head down to your toes.
And your toes are so beautiful and important.
And your feet are,
And your ankles are,
And your calves are,
And your knee,
And your whole leg area,
Your thighs,
And the whole body,
Right?
The whole body.
The whole body awareness is so valuable.
And all the energy field of the spine and the chakras from the base of the spine to all the first chakra,
And the second,
And the third.
Oh my gosh,
The energy there is amazing.
And the heart chakra,
That beautiful radiant heart chakra,
The throat chakra,
And the head chakra.
And top of the head.
And so I like to always include this lovely energy of a light around you.
A beautiful protective white light above you,
Below you,
To the right,
To the left of you.
Surrounding you with this perfect field of protective light.
And when you feel comfortable and aligned and enlightened there,
Then you can just go a little bit deeper.
And what a wonderful subject to go deeper with then.
The miracle of life.
I'd like you to go to your highest state of consciousness.
And to your soul consciousness.
And allow that energy and direction from the highest place within to bring you an awareness of how miraculous life is.
Now we are discovering more and more how amazing life is.
I just saw something on TV about them discovering that there's life on Mars.
Now it's a microbe,
We don't know what it relates to,
But that's life,
Right?
More and more life is being discovered in places where they didn't think it was possible.
There's this amazing field of energy on the planet Earth,
But then there's life beyond the planet Earth.
And more and more and more we're realizing this gift of life that is around the universe.
And where that takes us,
I don't know if anybody knows,
But if we can expand our mind here in meditation to just be open to that miracle of life in this now moment in you.
And also include that miracle of life in you that connects you to the universe.
And how amazing that energy of the universe is and how it is present right there right there within you.
Allow your mind to expand and expand to believe in the power of the universe right there of which you're a part.
How miraculous,
How special is this amazing gift of your life here now?
Take a few moments to just let that energy in.
Feel how good this awareness of life existing throughout the universe is.
And allow it to expand your consciousness to understanding the possibilities,
The amazing possibilities,
The miraculous possibilities that you can create.
It's truly unlimited.
So don't allow any blocks or any limitations to your mind and your consciousness.
Let yourself be guided by the miraculous energy of beingness,
Being here now.
Breathing that miraculous energy throughout your whole being.
And allow it to really inspire you in spirit.
Be in spirit to be inspired.
And when you have that gift,
When you connect with that gift of the open mind,
Open heart and open life,
Open possibilities,
Miraculous things can happen.
I want to take a moment to thank you as you come slowly back into your consciousness,
Into your body,
Into your mind.
And I always like to encourage you to bridge what might have come to you as you delved into the miracle of living and the gift of your life and possibly write down what came to you.
Just to bridge that consciousness of the miraculous life and the gift of life that you have and are into your awareness.
I truly bow to you in deep gratitude and love always.
Thank you.
