Gratitude Journal
Today, in this One Eternal Moment I am grateful for the opportunity to experience the divine blessing of Anahata (sacred Heart Chakra Lotus). Flowing undulating tones of Light reveal sacred petals of love (pure consciousness). As these sacred petals blossom into radiance, space abounds, in which to experience the fullness of my being. I experience bliss as my personality self (association with persona, identity, name, story and sense of I) gracefully merges with the essence of my being. I AM the completion of the Universe, individualized as me, and this knowing aligns my consciousness with free-flowing light-streams of pure energy (prana). The effect is immediate. All stagnant conditions held with in my emotional core are now "shifting" -- patterns of pain are effortlessly released through the undulating grace and power of Love. Om Shanti Shanti, Shanti.
Contemplation:
I breathe into my essence and gently focus my gaze upon a swirling vibrant green crystalline mandala, expressing within a Malachite crystal. In this magical moment, I am truly mesmerized by the concentric flowing waves expressing through the exquisite form of the crystal. Embellished with the delicate brush strokes of Nature, the swirling patterns facilitate a wondrous sense of expansion.
I close my eyes and open to a new sensation, as undulating ribbons of dancing light, gently impinge upon my inner senses.
In this One Eternal Moment I engage as a witness, a sacred Observer within a most wondrous unfolding. I observe my body-mind, and accept my present state of awareness. Within Love's Blessing, I embrace and lovingly accept All that I AM. I lovingly accept my personality self and all of her wondrous expressions. I lovingly accept and welcome the innocence of my magical inner child. I lovingly accept and joyfully enter into the stillness of my radiant Infinite Self -- and, within the solitude and unending bliss, I surrender into a wondrous sense of tranquility and renewal.
Engaged as a sacred Observer, I am free to view the many aspects of being from an inner space of clarity and calm. I observe a great wellspring thoughts arising like shifting tides within a cosmic ocean of consciousness. I watch as the thoughts spring up -- and then subside. A surge of gratitude flows through me, evoking timeless memories. And I understand.
I watch as the winds of change stir and rustle the energies unfolding and expressing within and around me. And I ask myself: "do the leaves cling to the trees unwaveringly as the wind tussels among them"? And I let go. I open my heart to the winds of change, and allow the updraft to carry me to higher ground, to the peak of pure awareness

Today, in this One Eternal Moment I am grateful for the knowing that within each of us is a loving, magical, powerful, infinite being. As this knowing shimmers through me, I AM wonderfully blessed, inspired, and uplifted in Light. This eternal truth cacoons me from any cares, worries and concerns, enabling that hidden self to gracefully emerge. Om Mani Padmi Hum.
Contemplation:
I breathe into my essence and open to the vision of a beautiful lotus blossom with six petals, on which reposes the disk of the full moon. In the centre of this disc is written the syllable HRIH, surrounded by the six syllables Om Mani Padme Hum, arranged like the pearls of a necklace in a clockwise circle. Resembling an exquisite Jewel of the Lotus, this sacred Lotus vision signifies the living essence of Buddha’s Heart (The Divine). Radiant light streams from within the centre of the divine lotus, dispersing in unending rays that emanate from the mantra circle, soothing the suffering of all creatures. All creatures become the Buddha; their immediate surroundings and the entire universe shimmers into a blissful, divine paradise
I bring my awareness into this One Eternal Moment -- as I open my heart to Love's Blessing, I spontaneously experience colours, lights and sounds as if born anew. I know not the names of the colours and sounds that are overlaid by conditioning, I simply experience the subtle vibration of the colours and sounds that are flooding into my awareness.
The living essence of the Divine speaks to me through the gentle, undulating breeze; it glistens upon a dew kissed leaf, and shimmers within cascading sunbeams, within the sparkle of a shining crystal; it resonates within bird song, and flows within my breath – all sounds of the Universe, are the vibrations of Om Mani Padmi Hum, the voice of the Dharma lifting from within.
