I choose this for me.

I am not one who meditates in the sense that I sit cross legged on a little pillow and attempt to empty out my mind of all that fills it. I've avoided that idea like the plague for years. I was scared, I was not taught to "meditate" and thus it didn't feel right or I did not feel it was "the right thing to do."

But I have come to see that I do meditate in my own way, and so do you. Mediating is thinking on something. Letting an idea just sit within. The trouble begins when we "sit with ideas" too long that we don't really wish to live.

I just came upon this meditation video. This is wonderful. This is perfect. Give yourself this gift I ask. Give yourself some time, some space, the gift of a quiet place to be, just be with these words. Let them touch your soul and open you to know, thus allow your soul to grow in a loving relationship the God.

So if this is "meditating" then I am all in. For are the kind of thoughts I choose to be my reality. - Deb

I wrote this note for you.

I wrote these words that follow from God for a friend who needed to hear that God is so near. I wrote as I lay in bed, barely lifting my head to see the paper. I am but a messenger. These words were given to me to receive. These words were given to me to share, so that whoever needed to receive them could hear. I asked that God fill me. I asked that God’s Love spill from me. I asked to overflow so others could know. I am not here for only me. I am here to help others see.  - Debra Clemente

Listen to this Voice
Not the voice of doubt
This is the Voice
That says you can
Listen within
Not without
You have never
Been without
My Love
It has always been
Here for you
Accepting it and
Acknowledging it
Is what you have
To Do
I can help you see
See the beauty
Life holds and is
For you
Set aside your cares
And know that you
Are in My Constant Care
This is something
You must do
Be with Me
Be here with Me
Within your heart
Which is My Heart of hearts
Ask me to fill you
With This Love
I Am
And I Will
You can have
Your fill
For there is
Enough
More than enough
My Love is abundant
My Love is unlimited
And as I so fill you
With This Love
You shall know
That you are
This as well
You will know
You will be able
To tell
You will feel Me Live
Within your being
Set Me free
To Be
And I will set
You free
Of all your worry
I can do
What you cannot
My Power
My Strength
Is what you need
Tell Me
Tell Me
You know this is so
Tell Me
That you cannot
Do this alone
You are not alone
For I Am here
But your actions
And your words
Keep Me
From your knowing
So you cannot
Hear Me Say
Each and every moment
Of each and every day
How proud I Am
Of you
For doing all
That you do
I have been
With you
I have seen
You through
And yet still
You do not know
Instead you just
Try to believe
But it is possible
My Dear
To more than believe
You can know
You can know Me
You can talk to Me
As you do
But you do not
Stop to listen
To what I have
To say
You pray
Then go on your way
And say
That life is hard
And hardly fair
Sometimes you
Are not sure
If I even care
But I do
I always have
And always will
What you need
To know is
My Love
My Love
You need to know
That is it real
Really available
Right now
To give you the strength
I AM
My Love
Will carry you through
Ask for It
Ask to be filled with It
Ask me to give you My Strength
Tell Me again and again
How you need me.

Do you know what
Rock bottom is Dear?
It is where and when
You shall find Me
For this is when you
Shall truly seek Me
For then you shall
Have had enough
Of your own ways
And give it all to Me
All of your worry
You shall hand it over
You shall take the weight
Of the world
Off of your sore shoulders
You will say that you
Cannot go on this way
You will say
You cannot take it
Another day
And I will say
Good
I will say
Hurray
Enough is enough
Of doing things your way
Today is new
Today is the day
The Lord has made
And you shall
Take My Hand
And I shall
Lead you
To my Still Waters
To drink
To quench
The thirst
Of your soul
And your soul
Will drink
Your soul
Will drink in
My Love
You shall nurse
From My Breast
The Bosom
Of My Eternal Love
You shall depend
On Me
For My Strength
And My Love
Which is
The very substance
Of Me
I shall nourish thee
I shall feed you
My Love
Bit by bit
As you ask
And you have to
You must continue
To ask
You must not leave me
You must not leave
The knowing
That I Am
With you
That I Am
Near you
That I
Live within you
You must
Thank Me
You must
Be grateful
For all the good

You see
Around you
And I shall then
Be able to
Give you you more
For as you believe
You shall so receive
This is the way
You are to pray
Pray believing
Pray believing in Me
And you shall
Then know
Know Me
We are together
My Dear
We are never apart
For I Am
A part of you
I am the
Part of you
That gives you
Life
For I am Life
I want you
To be with Me
I want you

To know that you are
Not alone
I want you
to know
That I Love you
I want you to know
That this Love
I Am
And have for you
Is Real.

Love,
Your God
Which lives within
Loving you
All the while
Wishing so
Again
To see
You
Smile.

Go through the motions

One can go through the motions
Without being something
They can play the part
Without being the part
One can go through
The physical motions of yoga
Without being
Or experiencing the truth
Of what yoga is
Or was intended to be
One can recite prayers
Without being the prayer
Without being prayerful.

It is time to get

Beyond the motions
And come into the stillness
Remain still
And just be
Be with Me
And I shall show you
Each of you as you come
What all the commotion
About the motions is.
