Seven Ways to Take Loving Action. Mels Love Land: All Systems Love

In our ongoing love in action series on ways to improve your inner and outer love leadership.

Seek the peace that you alone can give. In silence feel gratitude for those you encounter. They are teaching you something. In the quiet of our hearts, in the deep recesses of our minds, wait and listen, be still a moment and a moment more. Release judgement and allow forgiveness of yourself and others, free the world from all you thought you knew. Love deeply. Close the door on the past and open your heart to giving and receiving kindness.

If you are inspired and want to query a bit deeper into the arena of love here are some thoughts to consider the possibility there is another way to look at any situation.

The first one is pretty easy....
Ask questions if you don't understand, don't make assumptions.

Second
Teach by demonstrating. Don't expect someone to do the work for you.

Three
Listen as if our lives depended on it... Listen, listen, then listen some more.

Four
Show up... Find a way to contribute and just be there.

Five
Test boundaries... What you are thinking isn't true. Find out what is true. Have an experience and allow understanding to flow.

Six
Find ways to live in the solution. If you want a loving world, if you want connection you have to give love. What you have given you own fully and receive deeply.

Seven 
Allow your actions to be infused with love. 
(What does this look like? - if after taking action, you feel peaceful and connected - you have done it)

Allow love to lead the way, expanding the experience of love as a way of life. Along the way others have joined the love movement and offered up their gifts. Love has lead to many locations on the inner and outer planes continue to breath in love and breath out peace. Allow yourself to experience the tides flowing in and flowing out in balance and grace. Allow your heart to shatter and come together, allow grief to flow and find its flow, return to center, bring it back and begin again as needed. 

If you are looking for a spiritual, soulful experience of the world. If you are looking to create deeper loving miracles in your life why not give Love all you have?

Enjoy the day and all it brings.

Mels Love Land Justice and Peace Moment - In gratitude Martin Luther King, Jr.

IN honor of the spirit, ideals and love that Martin Luther King, Jr. embodied let's take a moment in the today's schedule to sit and center into the heart of love.

Allow yourself the privilege of aliveness to drop into the deeply sacred space of all that is and all that glorious light within to shine. Take several deep breaths and when you feel the movement of the heart and spirit of Love Justice rise into being, allow this to extend outward without reserve to those closest you, and now, stretch, extend and share that with your community, and continue onward, allow that experience to expand to our states, our country, the countries all over the earth and the universe at large. Right now. Pulse with the energy of love in all its grace and allow that light of love to radiate as a blessing to all. Return to the center of your heart filling your lungs and body and being with this love and remain resting in steady breath till it is time to MOVE. In this next moment forgive yourself, forgive those who have transgressed, trespassed against us and be whole, healed and full of gratitude.

Begin again.

Allow this five minute love time to be the heart of your practice for the day. Take actions, respond to people, places and events from this space.

Enjoy.

DAY ONE MEL'S LOVE LAND #NEXT100 | STAND UP. SPEAK OUT. TAKE ACTION WITH LOVE

Been thinking a lot about personal responsibility, as the news trumpets on, and life marches forward and as change is constant and the ways we could complain endless.  Today is Day ONE of the #Next 100 Mel’s Love Land Challenge.

We have the opportunity right now to assume any position we want to assume, why not choose Love?   Take a stance of compassionate grace in your life and quite simply, look at the world through a loving filter.  Today is the day to remember life begins again in each breath.  With this next breath it is time to make a shift in consciousness, to choose in this moment to be more loving than the last, to awaken to the joy of invigorated being.

STAND UP

That man or woman in the mirror who needs to remember the truth of who you are and why you are here on the planet.  There are a lot of conversations we could be having about how tricky this situation is, or how caught up I am in my feelings, but the only conversation we need to have is am I being loving.  am I being compassionate. am I being kind.

This is the stance of remembering we are powerful beyond measure and this is what we take forward as our birthright.

SPEAK OUT

We can’t keep up with everything that is taking place in the world and we do no not have time to worry about what we can do nothing about.  Our voice is important.  Exercising that voice with love is our responsibility.

The focus falls to the individual.  It falls to the places and spaces of our playing field.  The areas of our hearts were we are in community with the world.  Life is an ongoing exercise of love in compassionate action.  It is all things in all ways and the essence of a people’s faith in each other.

TAKE ACTION

Doing the right thing is only possible when we have been taught to practice loving thought, when we have a discipline to move through the every creating illusions of our fears.  Consider the possibility there is another way to look at it.  Choose love, no matter what, shift your perception to happiness and joy and do not deny what flows.

Let’s trust in love and make that the bottom line.

Love, Mel

Divine Love and Wisdom Unfolds When Wisdom is Applied to Commitment...

“A wise old Owl sat on an oak, The more he saw the less he spoke, The less he spoke the more he heard, Why aren't we all a bit more like that wise old bird?”

In the preface to Emanuel Swedenborg’s Divine Love and Wisdom the Latin Translator of the text talks about the sketch of a Roman Garden that adorned the title page of each of Swedenborg’s books under the phrase Cura Et Labore "with care and work." The image of a beautiful garden with a cherub like Angel watering the plants tending to the well loved garden's growth and harmony strikes to the core of any process. 

It is a reminder of the wisdom and grace that exists when discipline is applied to commitment in realizing the fruits of our labor. It represents the opportunity for us to make manifest the joys of a life fully lived in divine Love. When we enrich each moment with care and work, making conscious choices. Free of the energies that keep us bound. We allow nature to take its course in harmony without calling out the struggle, we effortlessly step into the full beauty of existence.

Move into the garden of your being remembering everything is as it is. You are exactly where you are supposed to be and you know absolutely how to tend to your needs. 

Swedenborg was one of the first and my favorite dude to express the idea of religion into the revelation of light and to translate the ideas into the concept of spirituality tramping through the late 1600's through 1772, that all the doors lead to the same place.  His roots into the ideals of mysticism are well documented and another of the Renaissance spirits who illuminated concepts outside of the current limitations of present conscious understanding.   Like Benjamin Franklin who would follow in Swedenborg's self publishing divinely inspired writings Swederborg is an inspiration.   Men of vision and insight and continual curiosity expanding principles into the hearts and minds of humanity to lead the way forward to freedom.

Spending the end of the year enjoying the spirit and love and all the wisdom imaginable celebrating how far on the journey to discover the truth I had come was the ultimate gift.  I know how blessed I am to know what I know and to get to participate with so many of you in sharing this beautiful, wonderful life.  Thanks again for all the miracles and thanks again for the laughs and most importantly thanks for all the memories.

Join me and the #LoveLand101 movement at www.loveland101.com and the Flight of the Soul inspirations on Beliefnet.com.

As we all begin new endeavors and new projects and new relationships while treasuring the old, as the days stretch forward filled with more and more light and love, may this new day bring you everything possible in service for the highest expression of who you are.  May you live in the fullest expression of joy and happiness possible and may you always remember whatever your circumstance the center of inner peace is yours.

lots of love,

Melanie

#LoveLand101 Share the Gifts You Have Been Given!

Hello Strength.  Listen to your surroundings and find the sounds of joy. 

Hear the sounds of Love that fill the world

beating outward from the Earth's heart center.

Take today to remember as Rumi wrote - 'Whatever I was looking for was always you.'  Every search begins and ends within, in the full presence of all light that is your essence.  Everywhere you look you are surrounded by the embrace of all that is divine.  Plant whatever seeds remind you of this truth.  Plant them in the hearts of your friends, in the minds of strangers and in the embrace of your loved ones. There is no greater miracle than to hear beyond the ears and to love with all your heart, radiating outward from source expanding creations power with each incredibly fortuitous breath of life.

Today is the eve of humanities experience of divine light shining forth into consciousness.  We celebrate this night as the birth of Christ, as the birth of all that is.  It is a beautiful time to consciously connect with the many realms of the universe in our own blessed verse.  Thank God for Christmas Eve.  Thank all the doors that lead to the same place and thank each and every one of you for playing the part you were born to play.

Allow for the grandest expression of light to bring forward all the seedlings necessary for the re-birth of our creative infrastructure of peace.  Deliver that which opens the flood gates for all to come.

Enabling the little ones to experience the safety of its source.  Offering this unconditional love allows roots to spring forward and divine flowering to flourish, grounding the earth.  Living in the oneness of all that is so that the cycles and the flow of nature can work its powerful magnificence. 

You are exactly where you are supposed to be and you know absolutely how to tend your garden with love! #LoveLand101 http://t.co/Y0I7U9HnPe

Inequality Anywhere is a Threat to Equality Everywhere...

I woke up this morning hearing the above words ringing in my head.  "Inequality Anywhere is a Threat to Equality Everywhere..."

Of course, once I had my coffee and remembered the source of this thought, Martin Luther King's "Injustice anywhere, is a threat to justice everywhere" from his Letter from Birmingham Jail, April 16, 1963 I understood you can not jail an idea, you can not jail the truth, chains do not stop an idea whose time has come.  An idea is stronger than any army. In holding the light with love you understand each action counts, each injustice matters and each time an act of separation and segregation and hatred takes place it is our job to not allow it to stand as a monument and take root.  It is our job to halt it and showcase it for the ineffectual threat it is to our state of grace and set it right shifting the course of our peaceful destiny action by action. It is our job to shine light on the experience with love returning to the ground of truth.

This paradigm works with anything, a way for a shift to remember every action of fear has a fearful result and NOW is the time to shift to LOVE.

Hate anywhere is a threat to love everywhere... etc.  Every action counts and creates a reaction.  What we put into something is what comes out.  Everyday my work is to create more love in my life and the lives of those I come into contact with.  It isn't like, 'wow, look at how cool I am because I am being loving,' it is, 'Gosh, what I am seeing is not okay and I can not sit idly by, how can a look at this situation with love?'  We are facing a complicated age of needing to take loving action every day to reveal the patience of responding beyond the reactions.

Be brave, little by little, in your center, no loathing, no arrogance all love, action by action, thought by thought.  Take a stand for what you know to be true.  If you are a witness to unkindness, injustice, inequality, in-nanity, let your heart share the message of truth in gentle compassion for what needs to be shared in the most loving way.

When one of us is disparaged, all of us suffer.  Each slight is registered and When the sword is thrust at someone it falls on us.  This is the time to stand in love and to release what no longer needs to chain our tomorrows.

Life is a gift of being awake.  Awake to bare witness and to remember the truth.  Allow your relationships to be free of the past, allow the present to be something miraculous.  Allow this moment to live and breath in all its glory simply by remembering the truth.  Love does not change.  There is not love in categories. Love makes right action.

It makes me think about this quote "The holiest of all spots on earth is where an ancient hatred has become a present love."  

Hatred can not exist in Love.  Love changes every equation and equals itself.  Let love lead the way.  

LOVE ANYWHERE EXPANDS LOVE EVERYWHERE!

Through our relationships in compassionate action nurtured with love come the inspirations of our tomorrows, not of the past, in the present free from the disappointment of past memories.

Today let us be thankful. We have come to gentler pathways and to smoother roads. There is no thought of turning back, and no implacable resistance to the truth.

Experience a shift in your perceptions, make a commitment to compassion allowing your heart to dance in full display of your soul's code.   

Coming from a news background I get irritated when I read or watch the current state of what is considered news and the exchange of information where open letters become the basis of reality to cement a position rather than enliven action to make change. I am tired of the spirit of journalism being reduced to opinions and statements based on beliefs that have long ago been lost in the evolution of humanity.

"No job is too big or too small for God to use. You have the unlimited power of the universe within you and so does everyone else. It's nothing to take personal credit for, nor anything to feel guilty about. Our real power emanates from a force that's in us but not of us." — Excerpted from A Course in Miracles

It is impossible to rely on objectivity or balanced reporting, you have to apply "the filter" whatever it is to create a reasonable facsimile of the actual truth.  Getting past the judgments and illusions of hatred.   There are so many outlets for information, the splintering effect has diluted the impact of a resonating truth.  This does not mean it does not live and breath in your being.  It means it has never been more important than to learn the language of the heart and to remember the message lies within as does peace of mind and peace on earth.

Shifting to an attitude of enough, where each action that is not right minded gets stopped in its tracks, brought into the light of love to remember.  Actions are weapons that lead us to heaven or hell.  It is always our choice.  A choice we can exercise with maximum love.

Lots of Love,

Melanie
