Grace Is Always Now

"Everything is connected. Disturb a single point, and the effect ripples outward. That's the nature of waves.

Perhaps it is also the nature of our lives, where even the smallest choices can reach farther than we ever know." 🤔

[tomasorban]

Until the heart achieves absolute tranquility, it cannot move of its own accord. When stimulated by external forces, movement is but an impulse of the ego. Yet, when unstirred by the outer world, movement arises from the Heaven.

When no deliberate thought arises, true intuition awakens. When the spirit settles in quiet, unwavering stillness, and Heaven's release suddenly moves you, is this not action without purpose? 'Action through non-action' has precisely this meaning.

The core identity of the self (the soul) is characterized by Seven Innate, Intrinsic Qualities:

Purity: The foundational virtue representing a state of genuine thoughts, free from ego, greed, or malice.

Peace: An unshakable inner stillness and stability that remains untouched by external circumstances or chaos.

Love: Unconditional, universal regard and acceptance for all living beings, completely devoid of attachment or expectations.

Joy / Happiness: An inherent cheerfulness and lightness of being that naturally bubbles up from within.

Bliss: A deep, transcendent state of spiritual ecstasy and contentment.

Power: The spiritual resilience, self-discipline, and inner strength required to navigate challenges and overcome negativity.

Knowledge / Wisdom: A clear understanding of the self, the universe, and the ability to make righteous, discerning choices.

EVERYTHING You Seek is Already Inside of You. 🤔

“When the frosted glass that domes our small worlds shatters, then can we gaze upon the cosmos of our souls and know ourselves as we are: the ever-shifting dust of so many stars that settles for tiny moments in small drifts. It is then we can melt the frozen thoughts of ‘us’ and of ‘them’ that stand between you and me, and see the end of wars waged in the imagined space between the corners of this universe we are.”

"Stay open and quiet, that is all.

What you seek is so near you that there is no place for a way."

I would like somehow to withdraw more deeply into myself, into the monastery inside me that is replete with the great bells.

[quietlotus]

“Calm is always with me. If I am feeling anxious, I can always return to my centre, to my place of inner quiet, by following my breath, following each breath in and each breath out. Breathing in, I breathe in calmness… breathing out, I breathe out peace… and as I breathe, my breath cradles me in the ease of the present moment.”

Raise your frequency to a level where anyone who connects with you feels like they’ve stepped into sunlight—so warm, so nurturing, and so deeply nourishing.

—

Prose Breakdown:

Notice I didn’t say to actually be “the sun” for others. When you’re grounded in your body, kind, and real, people experience you that way naturally.

To “elevate your frequency” in a grounded, real-world sense, it usually comes down to a few quiet but powerful habits I’m noticing:

1. Emotional steadiness – not suppressing feelings, but processing them so you don’t passing on stress and chaos to others. People feel safe around someone who isn’t reactive about everything happening in life.

2. Genuine warmth – small things: eye contact, listening fully, remembering details, and decenter phone in the presence of others. That’s the “sunlight” people remember.

3. Non-judgmental energy – when people don’t feel evaluated or fear their missteps or mishaps in life being judged, they open up. That’s where nourishment and intimacy really happen.

4. Inner alignment – living in a way that matches your values. When you’re not conflicted inside, your presence feels calm and clear to others. You feel more human and attractive to people in a very different but humanistic way , regardless of one’s sexuality.

5. Not a doormat—protect your own energy – the sun doesn’t burn itself out trying to light everything. You still need boundaries, rest, care, and space.

6. Wisdom/wise womanhood—Your wisdom around health and wellness and how life works, how this reality works, makes you like the sun when you're around people. People all want to level up and become better. And the more awareness that you have, the more like the sun you are to people. People know when they come around you, they're gonna get inspired and maybe even get some direction or solutions. But being “like the sun” isn’t about having all the answers or constantly giving solutions. If you try to be the person who always fixes everything, you’ll drain yourself and other people may eventually feel that pressure too. The idea is that you create clarity, not just answers, but more often is the capacity to slow down and deeply listen. Anyone can throw advice around. Very few people help others see clearly.

Much of our wounding occurs prior to the acquisition of language and is not able to be healed through inquiry into patterns of thinking. In other words, we can’t think our way out of trauma, attachment, and relational wounding.

We must travel into a more subtle territory, with a somatic-imaginal tincture that is more nuanced and illuminating.

When our capacity to process unbearable terror, panic, shame, and rage is overwhelmed, undigested pieces of experience are held subcortically and in our cellular circuitry, unreachable by thinking which is a layer removed from the fires of the alchemical body.

Encouragement to “just get over it, you can’t really believe that, you know that’s not true” is experienced by an inflamed nervous system as the activity of violence and aggression. A profound absence of empathic attunement which sends the orphaned ones deeper into the somatic forest.

Into the fire of the body we go, into figures who appear in day and nighttime dreaming, calling out to us, longing for a more sensitive alchemy, that of right-brain immersion – sensual, sensitive, embodied, symbolic.

These ones wait in the shadow and in the somatic underworld for the medicine to arrive, for the neural-soul networks to be replenished with that which was missing at the time the wounding was embedded.

Whether empathy, safety, attunement, or compassionate presence, in the end, it is only one of the fragrances of love that can reorganize and heal into the deep cellular structure and crystalline nature of the human heart.

Heavenly Father, I come before you this morning with a grateful heart. Thank you for the gift of life, for the breath in my lungs, and for the opportunity to rise again. Under Your mercy, I acknowledge that it is by Your grace that I am awake, sustained, and given another chance to walk in purpose. As this day begins, I surrender every thought, plan, and desire into Your hands. Go before me and prepare the way. Order my steps, align my decisions with Your will, and guide me with wisdom that is higher than my own understanding. Lord, I ask for Your presence to fill this day. Let Your peace rule my heart and silence every voice of fear, doubt, or confusion. Where my mind feels heavy, bring clarity. Where my spirit feels tired, bring renewal. Where my faith feels small, strengthen it. Cover me with Your divine protection. Shield me from harm seen and unseen. Guard my heart from negativity, my mind from distraction, and my body from weakness. Let no weapon formed against me prosper, and let every plan not align with Your will lose its power. Father, I ask for strength to face every challenge today. Give me patience in moments of frustration, humility in moments of success, and courage in moments of difficulty. Help me to respond with grace, speak with kindness, and act with integrity. Bless the work of my hands today. Let my efforts be productive and meaningful. Open doors that no one can shut and close doors that are not meant for me. Place me in the right places at the right time with the right people. Lord, fill me with gratitude. Let me notice Your blessings, both big and small. Teach me to trust You even when I do not understand the path ahead. Remind me that You are working all things together for good. I pray for those connected to me. Cover my family, friends, and loved ones with peace and protection. Provide for their needs, heal their hurts, and draw them closer to You. As I step into this day, I choose faith over fear, hope over worry, and love over anger. I walk confidently knowing that You are with me, within me, and surrounding me. Thank you for hearing my prayer. Thank you for Your faithfulness. I commit this entire day into Your hands and trust You completely.

Amen.

May this prayer anchor your morning, steady your spirit, and empower you to walk through the day with confidence and peace. Pax et bonum
