The best feeling in the world is to feel wanted. To be a part of something, respected, to be valued and most importantly, connected. Sometimes, we can lose sight of the greatest connection we can ever plug into, ourselves. It’s imperative to build a practice in connecting with yourself. You are the only person that knows you best and often times, we are injected into people, places and things that challenge that inner connection or seemingly discount our inner beauty, our way of being and we lose power by choosing to believe on some level that they’re right. You lose power by choosing to question who you are, who you know yourself to be true. You lose power by seeking approval, spinning inside constant feelings of insecurity with an instability in finding your own natural footing. Realistically, how can you move forward being stuck where you are? How can you create anything new, holding onto what was? How can you ever feel empowered, if you don’t remember you have a choice in who you are? Healing cannot be an option if you don’t decide to shift your focus?
 
When you’re faced with feelings or thoughts of; rejection, being excluded, left out, pushed aside, alone and unwanted. Remember, you have a choice in the outcome of the overall experience. You decide if you want to be included. You decide what you want, what is right for you, and the people, places, and things that line up with that enriching and supporting you in the feelings of comfort, connection, acknowledgement and love. Take time to remember who you are in the face of adversity and despair, to recognize your strength, courage, your power to prevail and keep going. Decide to move on, less the emotional patterning that siphons your inner strength, power, and resolve. You will never lose what you gained inside progress because growth imprints on the soul like rings of wisdom do inside a tree.
 
Decide if you want to be included. Make your decisions on what you do have in your life not on what you think you lost. Move into a worthwhile focus and highlight all that’s worth YOUR time, energy and effort. Understand, rejection is a small part of life and whatever you gained in growth is yours. It can never be taken away, only cultivated or denied. Decide to cultivate yourself, to look at all angles not just the ones that may cause pain. Decide to connect with what fills you and do more of it. Decide to choose in your power, remember how valuable you are, and embrace yourself completely. Decide to build yourself up with positive self-talk and encouragement. Decide to see yourself. Drop the cloak of invisibility and connect with the wholeness in being. When you find yourself in a state of connection, it’s no longer about being included or not, rejected or not, unwanted or not. It becomes more about creating your own space that includes you and deciding to include other people that are the like.

It’s not often that we remember the complete experience of personal unity. It’s not often that we take time to pause within the center of the universe to acknowledge ourselves as the point of reference in great honor of our humanity and our divinity. It’s not often enough, that we allow ourselves to embrace the deeper senses and connect with the greater presence of our innate right to be whole. When you arrive at the place of your heart, you remember the one and only truth, the pure essence of all that is good, complete and ever-lasting.

​If we live in our oneness-heart, we will feel the essence of all religions which is the love of God. 
Forgiveness, compassion, tolerance, brotherhood, and the feeling of oneness are the signs of a true existence. 
– Sri Chinmoy

​Unity is the state of being complete. It teaches the way to experience the essence of God and offers a heighten awareness of truth, thereby, transforming life. Through the exploration of unity, we learn the unique expressions of God, witness opportunities to embrace ourselves as sacred beings and are filled with the medicine of our great value and worth in a state of well-being.

​IMMUNITY   =   I’M UNITY
He who experiences the Unity of life sees his own self in all beings 
and all beings in his own Self, and looks on everything with a neutral eye. – Buddha

Immunity is likened to unity as an example of an intelligent system already in place that reminds us that any foreign bodies, away from health and vitality consciousness have the potential to break us down and destroy our sense of balance, harmony and personal alignment. We decide what we take in, hold onto and are willing to let go of. We are the creators and destroyers of our own reality and we make the final decision between separation and wholeness. When you seek to bring the fractured self together, you see God alive and well inside you and witness the self in action by the glory of God moving through you. Then “I’m Unity” becomes a declaration that claims your God given birthright and divine heritage to be a presence incarnate. You’ll see yourself, another and this life with much more clarity and one based, in understanding, compassion and forgiveness because you have invoked your divine right, you have claimed your divine essence and you stand in the divine presence as one. It’s up to each of us to take personal responsibility in healing ourselves first before we take on healing the world. Healing can only be understood through you and because of you. It has to be in you. As a complete, whole and at-one with yourself.
