“The purpose of life is the expansion of happiness.” Deepak Chopra

Expansion of life
When we are able to let go, open the heart, tap into vitality we open to the expansion of life. There is an expanded sense of self and a deepening of our mystical experience. This is divine power.
Living in a world that craves external power, Carolyn Myss reminds us, “Power originates behind your eyes, not in front of your eyes. Once power becomes visible, it evaporates. True power is invisible.”
Expansion is the all-encompassing presence of love. Now we live in the awareness of love as a frequency, a vibration, a presence of grace. We no longer try to possess love but instead learn to live as an expanded sense of self and give love away.
Practice sending love every chance you have. Send energy, send light, send grace. It is all love. Whatever you give out graciously is returned multiplied.
Enjoy the journey.
Affirm: I am grateful for the expansion of love as my life.
“Heart opening is a conscious act of participation in healing the self and others. It is an act of creative engagement with the spiritual ascension of humanity.” James O’Dea

When we love without hanging on there is an openness in our relationships. When we are open we are free to allow. When we allow we are willing. There’s no need to restrict or control but we experience greater freedom to appreciate and honor each person on their journey.
We begin with ourselves. When we allow our hearts to open there is a greater sense of self-acceptance. We are more inclined to forgive our mistakes, doubts, and limitations. We have a sense of self-compassion. Self-compassion allows us to view others with empathy and grace.
A great way to practice openness is to practice with the breath. Pay attention and set aside time to consciously breathe and release. Open yourself to receive love, appreciation, and respect.
Affirm: I am open to receive all that the Universe has in store for me.
“Love is not a feeling. Love overrides feelings because it is an expression, an active expression of the divine operating as and through you. So as you align to the frequency of love, you call to you love.” Paul Selig
Love means many things to many people. If we see it as a frequency instead of a feeling, our experience is transformative.
When exploring love as a frequency, contemplate these four steps:
Letting go
Opening the heart
Vibrating vitality
Expanding Life
Have you ever heard yourself say, I love that. I just have to have it! Love can easily become ownership. We want to own the thing we love. It may work for objects but not so much for people.
Hanging onto a person is not love but dependency. We often restrict another’s growth because we have an expectation for them to stay with us and to stay the same. We fear change and often equate change with loss.
Maybe instead of being attached to a person, we enjoy their company and let them grow. We let go of demands, our own needs and insecurity. Imagine what it would it be like to engage in inter-dependent relationships, growing together and respecting each other’s lives.
Practice this week noticing the things and people you want to hang on to. Practice loving and releasing. Avoid trying to fix, control, and manage. Instead honor and respect loved ones in your life just as they are. Pay attention to the results.
Affirm: I am willing to let go and allow love to be expressed in the world.
“Every part of my body is in harmony with the living Spirit within me. The life of this Divine Spirit flows through every atom of my being, revitalizing, reinvigorating and renewing every particle of my physical body.” – Ernest Holmes
I was in the reception area of my chiropractor’s office and overhead a conversation in the hallway. One person said they were not looking forward to their birthday coming up later this month. They dreaded the idea of being another year older and were hesitant to celebrate. Their co-worker agreed.
Their comment stuck with me. I thought about a friend with cancer who gives thanks for every day she has. There are families whose loved ones did not survive the virus and they grieve their loss.
In the world before COVID (B.C.) we took people, plans, experiences and our health for granted. We were comfortable knowing we had plenty of time and energy to do what we wanted, when we wanted. In today’s world, nothing is certain. We are learning to be flexible in a shaky, chaotic world.
In the B.C. world, birthdays could be seen as a nuisance, a reminder we are getting older. In the post COVID world—I say they are a blessing, acknowledging how fleeting and fragile life is.
Perhaps living in our post-pandemic life is less about the outer experiences and more about the inner reflections and opportunities to grow and connect. What brings me joy? Who can I send love to today? What am I grateful for?
When we are grateful we send out a vibration of love. That vibration benefits us and raises the vibration of the planet. Something we need more than ever.
I am grateful for my healthy, vibrant body.
I am gratefully enjoy each day of my life.
I am appreciative of all the ways I am loved and blessed.
Awareness is everything. We can so easily be distracted by ever-changing pandemic worries, friends and family illness updates, and whatever the media considers is ‘breaking news’ at the moment. It can be a challenge to stay focused on our greater good.
Author and teacher Catherine Ponder, tell us we can shift feelings and experiences when we invoke the healing power of love.
Speak this wisdom from Catherine Ponder aloud and repeat frequently throughout the day.
“Divine Love, expresses through me, now draws to me all that is needed to make me happy and my life complete.”
If you find yourself caught up in the conditions and drama of the world, repeat this statement of Truth:
“I praise Divine Love that there is a strong, wise way out of this dilemma.”
If you are having challenges with a difficult person:
“I fully and freely release and forgive. I loose and let go all ill feeling. Divine Love produces the perfect result now.”
Take a breath, shift your focus and remember this:
