My heart beats to the rhythm of love, for it is my only truth.  It guides me my journey towards purity of mind, body & spirit.  When aligned, my intention and intuition harmonize.  With awareness, I flow towards that upon which I place value, while being guided by my instinct.  I learn to trust my heart, for it beats to a rhythm that nurtures my soul.  I feel it beat. Gratitude emerges.  This is a feeling to be shared with others.  I smile, sing, dance, hug and spread love as only I know how.  I am a student of this love.  It serves me and I it.  I am in love, always & forever. Love & Light, RYAN!

Yesterday, I began my second 21-Day Meditation Challenge, this time co-hosted by Deepak & Ophrah.  The first two days have focused on aligning with ‘perfect health’.  Deepak shares that the body is built to maintain optimal health and for it to function in this manner it must be balanced.  By aligning our mind, body and spirit, a synchronicity emerges that optimizes our complete experience of life.  A balanced mind is one where we place conscious attention on the thoughts to which we give power.  By wielding this power, our mind becomes calm.  A balanced body is one which is nourished with just enough healthy, natural, organic, whole foods and plenty of water.  And a balanced spirit is one which is nurtured with love and compassion, offering it ample space to feel and resonate with it’s innate power and wisdom that arrise from within us.   Let’s get balanced.  Join me on this journey! Love & Light, RYAN!

My heart burns!  Full of fire.  Exposed.  Pulsing.  Tender. I share it.  I allow it to sing its calling. I hear silence.  I feel raw. I am alive! This is real.   I will survive. Breathe flowing.  I am grateful! Love & Light, RYAN!

I am alive!

This is real.  

I will survive.

Breathe flowing.  I am grateful!

Love has moved me to places I could have never imagined!  For the longest time, I have shunned the idea of ‘waiting’ and ‘missing’, think these emotions are a waste of time and energy.  In many ways, I still think this way, yet my feelings seem to be different.

Over these past several months, I have been swept away by a love that is completely new to me.  It is completely based on feeling and instinct.  There is no rational explanation for its existence  yet it is there and it’s not going away, rather it’s only intensifying within me.  While there is certainly a focal point for my attention, the symbolism is what pulses within me.  I am learning to allow these feelings to move me, yet not control me.  I allow this energy to inspire me to grow in new ways.  I remain true to myself.  I feel the power of love and I release it out into the world.  I am grateful to have these powerful feelings, which challenge me to expand my perspectives and transform my feelings.

Love & Light,

RYAN!

I didn’t even know the words, yet my eyes water.  I listen closer and the tears begin to roll.  Birdy, thank you for this special gift you have given the world by sharing your beautiful words and voice with us all.  It is as if there is this power that pulses through you and you simply allow it to flow.  I guess this is the power of passion and inspiration.  It seems to steer you towards greatness.  Thankfully that vessel will sail its way to Sydney Opera House, so that soon we Sydneysiders will be graced by your sweet songs.   

Music makes the world go round.  Something about us moves us in extraordinary ways.  When I feel down, I play one of my favorite melodies and my spirits begin to soar again.  Maybe its because when we bring tone and melody into our words they come alive with a sound that connects us with the purity of our spirit.  We feel the sounds of the words resonate within our bodies.  They speak to us in a language only know to our heart and our spirit.  Maybe this is why we sometimes don’t even know the words, yet they move us all the same.  

Birdy, you have moved me, ruffled my feathers and now I will soar to new heights.  You are an inspiration!

Love & Light,

RYAN!

Yesterday I was invited to participate in a drumming class with Soul Drummer that will be aired today on Australian National TV.  It was interesting to see how hard it is for me to relax.  I was challenged at simply  strike a beat.  There is something to learn in every experience.  This one reminded me that I desire getting out of my head more often, which is quite a challenge for me.  I tend to gravitate towards experiences that pull me out of my head.  These usually tend to be activities that demand all of my attention, such as kite surfing, paragliding, running, yoga and bootcamp classes.  After yesterday, I think I might want to pick up drumming.  I found that without all of my focus, I could not connect with a beat.  I also learned that this beat arises within me.  It starts with my heart beat and my pulse.  Connecting inward brings be home, back to my source.  This is where all the infinite wisdom lies.  Yet this seems to be the most challenging journey of all.  I keep trying and I seem to get nowhere.  It seems that I simply need to stop, yet everything inside me pushes me to go.  Oh, the conundrum!  Maybe the drum is my answer?  Ready to strike a beat! Love & Light (and Happy International Women’s Day), RYAN!

Yesterday, I shared a post on seeking truth, unintentionally mis-quoting my friend Khalida.  As I took her words out of context, I amended that post here and you can read her full post here: khalidabrohi.blogspot.com.

Words are powerful tools.  They can be used for good or evil.  And sometimes when we mean well, our words still harm others.  Being awake, aware and clear are critical components of communication.  

People here what they want to hear.  Each of us has a unique perspective on life, colored by the many experiences that make up our identity.  When we hear or read something, we process it through this filter of our perspective.  We tend to automatically judge and create opinions.  We then integrate this often false understudying into our new perspective.  We may think, she said this, so that means that.  Well, she did not say exactly that.  I simply heard that.  I took things out of context.  She actually said something different, something more and meant something entirely different.  

While I understood Khalida’s beautiful words and the context of what she was sharing and feeling, by quoting only a few words in order to make a different point, I had inadvertently misconstrued the full-meaning of what she was feeling and intending to share.  Thus, while my intention was pure, my words concealed the truth.  I am sorry Khalida!  Your love for your country, it’s customs and it’s people is an inspiration for me and others.  Thank you for this opportunity to grow!

Love & Light,

RYAN!

Yesterday, my friend Khalida Brohi shared a post on truth upon witnessing a group of small children singing the Pakistani National Anthem.  The full post is here: http://khalidabrohi.blogspot.com/ It’s fascinating to see how so many of us live inside lies, often unintentionally and in a non-malicious manner.  We are like robots going through the routine, programed by society to function according to it’s norms.  We go to church, synagogue or other place of worship.  We recite prayers.  We ask for forgiveness for our sins.  And then we go back out into the world and sin again.  We are self-interested.  We see ourselves as separate from others.  We cut them off in our cars in the church parking lot.  Back on the street, we may even flick them off.  Road rage.  Then, we go about lying to our loved ones and we always have a good excuse why.  Even more, we lie to ourselves.  We fight wars over oil and soon water.  We get entertained by people killing one another.  The dramatization in film makes it no better.  We participate in all of it, simply by being alive.  This madness is part of us; all of us.  It’s in us.  And if we are not part of the solution, we are part of the problem.  When will we stop living this lie?  When will we come clean about who we really are?  Everybody knows?  Who are we kidding anyway?   I’ve spent my entire life trying to prove to myself that I’m good enough.  I keep pushing my limits; challenging my very essence.  Thinking that if I achieve this, then…  Well, then nothing.  Actually, then something else.  It’s never enough.  The lie continues.  And along the way I hurt people, especially those I love.  It’s exhausting.  I don’t mean too.  It just happens. But that’s no excuse.  I have commitments.  Things that I’ve chosen to value.  Then I get caught up in my own silly rat race; doing what, I’m not entirely sure.  I think I’m doing something positive, but really I’m just feeding my ego.  In reality, what really matters is quite simple.  It is truth.  It is slowing down.  Feeling me.  Honoring my commitments.  Loving thyself and others.  Being of service.  Spending quality time with those close to me.  All while consistently seeking truth.   Why don’t you join me? Love & Light, RYAN!

Talk is cheap, action is valuable! There are so many great ideas and things to do that make a real impact.  Every time we talk about an idea without following it with a directly related action, we weaken it’s value.  And we steal power from the idea’s execution.  It’s easy to share an idea and to dream big.  Execution takes time and energy, two vital and limited resources.  Why waste these resources on idle chatter?  For when we share an idea it grows in the minds of others.  Without action, it only exists in the imagination.  There is no container to hold it’s material form.  Action is required.  We must take the first step.  Make it real.  Show that it exists.  Inspire others to join. Our dreams, passions and ideas deserve more of us that weakening them with words.  For we are human beings with the unique ability to manifest the non-physical into physical form.  Let’s get started! Love & Light, RYAN!

Our outlook on life changes everything.  Choosing to turn a frown upside down in the face of disillusion not only transforms our experience, but has a positive impact on our environment.  Every experience presents us with a choice to see opportunity or challenge.  Perspective is everything.  The conscious wielding of our thought dictates our experience and our response.  When we choose an optimistic outlook on life, we feel good.  Why choose any other outlook?  Choosing optimism does not mean avoiding a grounded understanding of reality.  Being open-minded, aware, discerning and logical are critical to a healthy optimistic outlook.  When we choose this perspective, everything flows smoother.  We feel more connected, present, excited and alive.  Why choose any other way?  Let’s turn that frown around! Love & Light, RYAN!
