When you were a child, did you believe in magic? Special happenings that were mysterious or inexplicable?
Did you enjoy watching magicians who performed tricks that were extraordinary and perhaps even baffling?
Why was Harry Potter so successful? Why were Houdini and David Copperfield so well known? Adults and especially children love the surprise and delight of magic.
What I am suggesting is that we continue to live in the magic of the moment. Yes, magic is alive, but only for those who have the eyes to see it, feel it and know it.
Magic lives in light and higher vibration, higher consciousness. Is it not worthy to aspire to the wonder of all things?
Believe in that which is not seen but can be felt in the heart. We as adults grow old too fast and leave our child within starving and cold.
Instead, let us foster the budding and creative soul force within us. We too, can again experience the magic of life!

Tonight at the United Nations a concert will be performed for the 2009 Commemoration of the International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade.'Breaking the Silence, Beating the Drum' is the message for the event. The following words are taken from a speech given in 1908 by Henry Sipkins, to be read this evening during the concert by my friend Carl Lewis. "But may the long wished for time soon arrive when slavery of every species shall be destroyed . . . and all find protection under the fostering wing of Liberty."
This afternoon I will meet Carl and his Mom, Evelyn Lewis, at the United Nations. After the usual sound check in the General Assembly Hall where the concert will be held, we will have time for dinner, then back for 'Show Call'.
This will be an exciting day in many ways. Very few events are welcomed to perform in the General Assembly Hall at the United Nations. The evening performance will include singers, dancers, drummers and words from 'greats' like Whoopie Goldberg.
Happily looking forward to seeing my friends and to this historical performance. Will let you know more tomorrow!
You can conquer your self-limiting doubts! Let us say that doubt is an absence of truth or light; there is some energy that is not purely in alignment with our inner truth. One way to conquer the doubting mind is to have faith or belief that the mind can transcend the doubt-darkness that it is currently experiencing.
When we have self doubt or when we doubt others, we can pull forward our implicit faith or belief in ourselves and transformation will have begun. Our faith or belief must be held in our consciousness more than a few seconds at a time in order for transformation and manifestation to take place.
Where there is light, darkness disappears.We can bring to the fore our soul's light to illumine our doubts through concentration, visualization and/or meditation. Consciously install higher thoughts and ideals in your mind. By thinking, believing and acting as though you are free of your self-limiting doubts, you make it so - sooner or later.
Do not give up. Continue and Conquer! Conquer and Continue! To your Victory! Rijuta Tooker Soul-Power Community
At every moment you have a choice: do you choose to live in a beautiful world?
When in doubt, go to your heart and then to your soul, and you will know.
When you come to a place where you are stuck, allow the path of LOVE to lead you to higher and safer ground. Our beautiful world wants to inspire you. Look around and know that beauty and light will always prevail. Let your heart tell you so!
Today, all day, I am choosing to live in a beautiful world!
And you ? ? ?
Train yourself to see the world differently and you will be training yourself to see 'outside of the box'. Why would you want to see the world as others see it?: fear based; economic catastrophy; distrust of all; "The sky is falling, Chicken Little!" In order to create a different reality for yourself, for your family and for your brothers and sisters around the world, you must take responsibility to train yourself to see the world differently.
How can you do that?
- Refuse to believe what you see and hear about our world situation(s). Constantly ask questions. Why? Why? Why?
- Lack, negativity and worry, does not exist for you. Choose instead harmony, oneness and self-empowerment.
- Paint the picture of your world as soon as you awake and just before going to sleep at night. Color it with light, abundance, joy and love.
- Choose to see what you want to see, not what appears to be so. For example, while walking in the park, what appears to be so is that the water fountain is broken in the pond, the water is stagnant and the ducks and geese are nowhere to be found. What do you choose to see? Beautiful water fountains all over the pond, clear water with ducks and geese swimming everywhere.
What good does this do? The above process activates your creativity to help provide solutions to correct what it is that you do not like. In our example above, you remember that your friend's Dad is connected to the Parks Department and he can initiate the repair of the water fountains. So you make the phone call, the fountains are repaired, the ducks and geese come back and your capacity to see the world differently has manifested beautifully!
What solutions have you created by seeing the world differently and thinking outside the box?

It is necessary to have your Joy Factor Check-Up frequently! Why? You could be without joy and not even recognize your 'condition'! Oftentimes we don't value something until we lose it. When you lose your joy, where does it go? Is it misplaced OR did you close one of your inner doors so that you cannot access your joy?
Your mind, very often is the culprit that closes the door on your joy factor. The moment your mind brings doubt, discouragement, suspicion or fear, joy disappears behind the black ink of the mind. You must take immediate action to clear away the 'dark force' and open again to the 'light'.
When we Increase our love, when we increase our service, we also increase our joy. When we inspire others, we get joy. When we open our heart door to our inner sun, to our soul power, we have immediate joy. When we feel immense joy, that joy automatically spreads to those around us.
Try to separate your inner joy from your outer circumstances. Live only 'in the moment'. The nature of inner joy is an expansion of feeling. The rising of the morning sun gives us joy. Sharing a meal with friends gives us joy. When we are in joy, we have more strength, more confidence and greater capacity to inspire those who have the eyes to see and the heart to feel our sincere joy.
The feminine heart most easily expresses love, compassion and concern. Though each of us embodies both masculine and feminine qualities, our feminine heart qualities are now in greatest need. Through our BraveHeart Women's Global Community we have an opportunity to channel our feminine heart energy to all who are open to it. We can easily offer to the world our feelings of love, oneness, concern, empathy and nurturing gentleness.
But first, we must make sure that we offer our feelings of love, oneness, concern, empathy and nurturing gentleness to the parts of ourselves that we are not totally 'satisfied' with. When we feel that we are 'whole' and loving is the best time to be able to offer our highest energies to everyone else.
We are no better or higher than others; we are one with the sorrows and joys of all. As we blog, offer encouraging and inspiring comments and support each other in our BraveHeart Community, we are really serving ourselves at the same time.
And as we serve ourselves, we can more easily, wholly and self-givingly serve the rest of the world. Nothing ever goes wasted. When our consciousness is one of inspiration, encouragement and concern, we never know who or what our energies of love and light will touch and lift. Consciously bring forward your feminine heart of love, compassion and concern. Use your soul-power!
Life can be a victorious adventure, who can deny. To live this on-going adventure cheerfully and in the best possible way, we must be brave and we must be victorious. Some will say we have to be daring and bold, even willing to take certain kinds of risks.
Living our life as a victorious adventure, we come to know the fire of our passions. We are eager to carry the torch of our life's mission.
Are we speaking of excitement? Or having only peak experiences? We are speaking of those moments in our life when either inwardly or outwardly we are experiencing a kind of exhilarating feeling, a newness, an outside-the-box feeling. We feel that we are growing in some way that takes us closer to our full magnificence.
Do you feel some days that you are glowing with energy, with committed direction, with enough 'fuel' to put you over the finish line? If not, what would it take to get you there? Taking small steps, one at a time, consistently and with determination and excellence will bring you the victory of adventure.
What did you do today - inwardly or outwardly - that was bold, daring, exciting, adventuresome? How did you feel as you were participating in this 'play'? Did you allow your light to shine a little brighter, revealing more of your soul-power?
Life can be a victorious adventure! Let us aspire to live every day in this way.
When we listen with our heart rather than with our mind, there is far less chance for misunderstanding and far greater chance for real communication.
Why listen with the heart? The heart has the capacity to listen with more light, more love and more oneness than the mind. The mind knows light, love and oneness only through its intellect.
Sometimes when we are listening with the mind, we are hearing what another is saying but we may not be truly listening. What we hear may last for a few seconds at best. When we truly listen with our heart to another, then we are taking into our heart-space the meaning and the essence of what is being said.
When we listen with the mind, the outer words may be saying one thing but the actual meaning may be something entirely different. We will know the real meaning only when we listen with our heart.
Listening with the heart helps one to truly understand what is being said because the heart and the soul are in close proximity. Being closely aligned with the soul, the heart has deeper understanding than the mind. I invite you - just for one day - to listen with your heart, rather than with your mind.
It A-L-L shows: your radiance, your confidence, your light - AND, everything else that you are thinking, feeling and believing.
In other words, we are all open books to most other people. We all know persons who upon entering a room, make everyone feel that they are viewing the morning sunrise.
Sometimes we forget that when we walk into a room, others can tell when we are happy, when we are pre-occupied, when we are 'down' or depressed and especially, when we are stepping into our power, our confidence, our radiance and our light.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if we were able to radiate love, joy and kindness at every moment? Depending on how intensely and how often we focus on these kinds of states of being and how much we believe we are actually aligned with these states, will depend upon what people see and feel when they are within our immediate circle of influence.
Awareness helps. One-pointed focus helps. Intention helps. There are many ways to help ourselves move along the progression line of self-improvement. What are some of the ways you empower and manifest your radiance, your confidence and your light?
Imagine all can see your radiance, your confidence and your light immanating from the very core of your being!!! It all shows~ This is your magnificence, your soul-power!!! Beautiful!
Are you keeping playfulness in your life? When was the last time you felt playful? What does it mean to be playful? To have a playful consciousness, is to be full of fun, to be high spirited, and to find humor in your life experiences. Find something to laugh about. Take action that creates joy for yourself and others. This is your consciousnes of playfulness.
Even during our 'so-called' work day, we can keep a light spirit or find humor in our interactions or circumstances.
An easy way to view playfulness is to simply watch children. Or imagine a kitten playing with a ball of string, rolling around on the floor and getting very nicely tangled.
Or visualize a puppy chasing endlessly after a stick or a ball that its person-friend throws so they can play catch and fetch. What fun!!! What abandon!!! How energizing!!! Feel the joy that is created in and through your playfulness!
How playfulness would look for you is an individual thing. Each person feels playfulness in different ways. Experiment as you go about your day. Rather than wait until you see someone, be playful all by yourself. Sometimes it is easier to experiment with playfulness when no one is there to see what you are being/doing or to judge you.
Why should you keep playfulness in your life? We are are looking for joy in our lives. Even as we wish for more money, more abundance, what we are ultimately wishing for is more JOY!!!
Put a little more playfulness in your life!!! Give yourself more joy. Joy is what your soul is all about! You will be happy, your soul will be happy and those in your circle of influence will be happy! How do you keep playfulness in your life?
Reject fear, worry and anxiety; say no to anything that disempowers. Welcome trust, harmony and truth; listen to the inner guidance you receive from your own highest self. Fear, worry and anxiety - and even panic - is so wide-spread now that you must be careful to protect your consciousness from being overly exposed to this kind of thinking and feeling. Watch and listen to less newscasts; limit your discussions of 'how bad our economy is' to a minimum, or better, non-existent.
Be more mindful of what you are thinking and feeling. Remember that what you concentrate on tends to expand. Of course, when we concentrate on fear, worry and anxiety, this expands and gives us increasingly more fear, worry and anxiety.
When we concentrate on the things that we do want, trust, harmony, truth, then these things expand and give us increasingly more trust, harmony and truth.
Make the choices that bring you love, joy and empowerment. Focus only on what serves the highest good of all: peace, light, oneness, community.
I invite you to do the following BREATHING EXERCISE. This will enable you to reject fear, worry and anxiety and to welcome trust, harmony and truth.
Breath in through your heart center while welcoming in the energy of 'trust' - slow, deep inhalation. (Feel free to use any word that highly resonates with you today.) Breathe out fear and all that disempowers you - slow, relaxed exhalation.
Repeat this breathing pattern three times and feel the soothing calm that comes. Do this whenever you become aware of fear, worry, anxiety or any kind of disempowerment.
The time has come for you to say 'NO' to all that is not progressive and fulfilling and to say 'YES' to all that empowers and lifts you to a higher level of life experience.
Saying 'YES' to trust, harmony and truth today. Rijuta Tooker Soul Power Community
For those who wish to learn how to free your mind of worries and anxieties, you will need to do several things. First, you must realize that when you carry worries and anxieties with you, this is unnecessary weight and an extra burden. You are just adding to your daily challenges and difficulties.
You want to be free of this energy-stealer, this daily poisoning of your consciousness. How?
Practice. Practice. Practice.
1) Practice emptying the mind. The very second you find yourself identifying with your fears, insecurities, anxieties, move away from that identification. Throw those thoughts out to the farthest corners of the universe.
2) Practice establishing peace in the mind. Be vigilant. Rather than let the worry-thief rob you of your peace and poise, replace the worry-thief by breathing in peace then exhale, sending that peace throughout your entire being. Continue, until you are once again poised.
3) Practice making the mind calm and quiet. Rather than allow the tortures of the mind to rule your day, concentrate the mind on one-pointed stillness, calmness and quietude.
We must take inner and outer action steps to reach any goal. Practice ~ ~ ~ until you reach your own sense of excellence with the above three steps. You will quickly learn how to free your mind of worries and anxieties.
All three steps can be practiced during your daily routine. No need to sit in solitude or go hide somewhere while you practice, although that may be helpful. Noone will know that you are challenging the darkness and welcoming the light of peace.
Begin today! Free your mind of worries and anxieties!
I invite you to remember that you can create a golden life by using your magic.
You may have forgotten that magic can happen with simply a kind thought, a loving word, an inspired action and a grateful heart.
In your hands and heart lie the beauty, peace and harmony of your world. Only you can create that. No one else.
Do not wait until you are forced by circumstances to use your magic. You are creating 24 x 7 anyway. Use your magic now - TODAY!
Why hesitate? Enjoy the Dance of Life from the minute your foot comes to the floor in the morning until you close your eyes to sleep at night. Many are waiting for this, or that, or the other thing. WHY? Learn to use your magic or lose your magic.
Use your magic in every circumstance, every situation, to create more abundance, to shine your light on beauty, to release more dynamic energy, to share your inmost joy.
Do this not only in your life, but also in the lives of others. Break away from your limitations. See the magic around you. See the magic within you. Feel and know that the real magic is you!
Enjoy a magical day! Rijuta Tooker Soul Power Community
