To the best of my ability! 3 Reply Hot Sauce6 years agoHot SauceI am saying YES to life by not following my own will or desires but seeking to do the will of God alone. I can live today with a sense of purpose and urgency about fulfilling the mission to which Spirit has called me, just as Yeshua did not seek to do His own will but the will of God, who sent Him. 3 Reply Suzanne Fabick6 years agoSuzanne FabickI am practicing letting go and minor irritations in daily life, i.e. traffic, the rudeness of others, disappointments. I was rude to someone online because I misunderstood what they were expressing – I did apology and feel ashamed of my comment. The person is not accepting my apology but I feel a sense of peace because I did asked for forgiveness. It can be harder to forgive ourselves, even when our loving and merciful God has forgiven us! 3 Reply kathleen6 years agokathleenby being centered and aware and open to the moment. 4 Reply Ed Schulte6 years agoEd SchulteHow am I living a YES to life today? By beginning this Holiday break by returning to the very first set of Meditations which makes up a system of meditation, study and practice in my system. So to begin "a new" and to see with fresh eyes and to realize and appreciate the process made over the last year. That is a very important "YES" to what is Life for me. The first set of Meditations is, "The Nine Divine Rays" and the 6th of the 9 meditations makes for a Very good Christmas Card Greeting... How am I living a YES to life today? By beginning this Holiday break by returning to the very first set of Meditations which makes up a system of meditation, study and practice in my system. So to begin “a new” and to see with fresh eyes and to realize and appreciate the process made over the last year. That is a very important “YES” to what is Life for me. The first set of Meditations is, “The Nine Divine Rays” and the 6th of the 9 meditations makes for a Very good Christmas Card Greeting when a voice recording is included with it. Here it is in a brief version….( no voice recording ). The 6th Divine Ray Relax……..Breathe deeply and comfortably And slowly, slowly, go deep into the center of your being-ness And open the gates of the field of your consciousness. Go deep into silence and peace. ………… Visualize a very bright sun with 9 Divine Rays…. 9 Divine Rays of translucent colors….. like a rainbow. Open the gate of your Psychical world….. …..The Divine Rosy-White light…. coming from the 6th Divine Ray …. Warms your whole existence. And awakens within you…. Very high and noble feelings……….. Which give meaning to your life. Maybe for the first time your personality that travels in illusion begins to understand the good feelings toward your fellow human beings. The Divine vibrations of this ray…. Awake within you… The Beauty of Harmony,….. Peace and Fullness…. in your relations with all. The 6th Divine Ray unites the macrocosm and the microcosm…… With vibrations of Love born out of the feelings of men. It is the first time that the traveler guided by love, will meet in his middle, in his ……Bright Rosy-White light…… …….It is brilliance of Light and Love……… And you as a human being…. You will stand in ecstasy in front of your real Self. And there, with in the immensity of …..Divine Rosy-White light…. of the 6th Divine Ray is the seat of the teacher of teachers. Joshua Emanual the Christ, the Lord of the 6th Divine Ray Breathe deeply………….. comfortably, consciously…………. Concentrate on your heart center…… And visualize a six pointed star shining within you……. Like a bright, bright, sun. ……………. The six pointed star is the symbol of the 6th Divine Ray, It is the inner light…….. the light that enlightens every human soul…….. … All Joy the Angels.. ……….. The personality, the naughty child, has discovered itself. It recognizes the meaning of Love, and its purpose within the universal human family. Feel the fellow Human beings around you and send them Love. Let every beat of your heart become a sweet note………. Observed to the sweet Jesus………. The Lord of our highest feelings…… Ask him to bring harmony into your relationships…. The whole world is made of his love. You are Love. …………………… The 6th Divine Ray symbolizes the reflection of the Creator in his creation. It symbolizes the harmony of the universe. It symbolizes the Love within the family. It symbolizes the harmony in music, art, and healing. It symbolizes perfection…..And Love for all. See the reflection of the Creator in his Creation. The whole world is made of his Love. Wish that his Love to bring Peace on Earth. ……………. The blessings of the Beloved Jesus….. For you…..Your family….. and the whole world. …………………. Breathe deeply…. And slowly, slowly, come back and feel yourself and your material body against. END 6th Divine Ray Read More4 Reply Palm6 years agoPalmOh yes Ed, to realise and appreciate the process made over the last year is an important YES to life for me too, in my case through this practice of gratefulness 1 Reply Ed Schulte6 years agoEd SchulteAbsolutely Palm Saying “YES” to Life, in any form, IS saying and doing and being / Gratefulness. Matthew 25: 14-30 or Luke 19: 12 -27 say “The master put his servants in charge of his goods….” Good being our “Talents” our abilities to be Completing Human Beings. And any gain in the “goods” relative to the initial state of the goods IS showing faithfulness therefore gratefulness is given for gratefulness shown. The Divine design is complete in itself. 2 Reply music ed6 years agomusic edI don’t NO! 😉 3 Reply grateful sea6 years agograteful seaI watched the sun rise this morning.

Thank you for this question. 4 Reply Michael6 years agoMichaelGoing with the flow, and thankful for the opportunity to do so. 4 Reply Michael6 years agoMichaelas I read the question today out loud, I immediately thoughts of Les Brown the speaker. He has a stirring riff regarding saying yes to your life!! and he shares the African Proverb of when there is no enemy within, no outside forces or enemies can do us no harm. yes to dreams and possibilities and yes to the actions/work it requires to make them happen. 4 Reply Palm6 years agoPalmToday I went to get some extra special things for our meal, including wine, and I am grateful my husband's new job is affording them. These are things we haven't had for a long time. Christmas is turning out to be simple and meaningful, just my daughter, husband and I, enjoying food.

Today I went to get some extra special things for our meal, including wine, and I am grateful my husband’s new job is affording them. These are things we haven’t had for a long time. Christmas is turning out to be simple and meaningful, just my daughter, husband and I, enjoying food. Gone are the “Christmas shoulds” I used to put myself through. It has been a challenging year, but as a friend told me yesterday, that has passed. And there are still things to resolve next year, but they will be somehow… family is far away, but we can connect through wonderful modern technology. So, today I am living a yes to life appreciating the now and trusting life Read More4 Reply Aine6 years agoAineWe, too, are celebrating the first Christmas in many years with a stable income. We also went simple as neither of us felt up to much nor the need for much. We replenished our movie collection with some favorites on dvd that we had only had on vhs, bought a little something for a select list of special people, and a few treats for the dogs. Caught some wonderful sales, so the amount is low while the love is high. 0 Reply Palm6 years agoPalmThe appreciation of little but meaningful things and high love can bring so much joy and comfort, I am glad we are sharing this feeling Aine, blessings for a pain free and Happy Christmas 0 Reply Barbara Morris6 years agoBarbara MorrisI am going to open my eyes to opportunities to be grateful today. I am a good problem solver, however, I have cultivated a practice of looking for problems. Today I will remind myself to practice gratitude and begin to create this as my new habit. 3 Reply Aine6 years agoAineMy husband is a wizard troubleshooter, too, and he has an engineer brain. He, too, struggles with his incredible ability to see the negative so he can "fix" it, but he is learning that he can train the same skills to see what is positive that he uses to pinpoint the negative. Troubleshooting ability is like a telescope -- what you focus it on is entirely up to the person holding the telescope! ????

It is also a brain adaptation for survival of the species since he who saw the tiger FIRST tended to live long enough to pass on the gene pool! That is part of why it is so hard to overcome.

Our collective inhumanity one to another, and our demonstrated compassion and care one to another, move me to tears in equal measure. A consequence of membership worth paying. 8 Reply Malag6 years agoMalagSaying yes to good seasonal cheer.
