International Peace Day – September 21

MeKila — Tue, 21 Sep 2010 14:50:15 +0000

Today is one of my favorite days – International Peace Day – What a glorious intention.

In honor of this day, I’d like to share the following video that beautifully shows us steps we can take right now to begin to realize Peace in our everyday lives. How we can start to make a difference in our own little corner of the world.

Peace

If we each made a commitment to honor ourselves, each other and the world by doing our best to live in Peace, what a wonderful place this would be. Can you just see it? Can you feel it? I sure can – it’s been a lifelong dream and I think we can do it!

Sometimes we give up too quickly … thinking International Peace – that’s so far-fetched, why even bother? To think in those broad terms IS a bit daunting and does seem like such a gigantic mountain to move. But it doesn’t have to be that way. It’s really so much simpler and much easier than that.

All that is truly required from us to do our part is that we start to create Peace within ourselves. By starting with the thoughts we think, we can begin to alter the energy that surrounds ourselves. By thinking more peacefully, by being more gentle with ourselves, by coming from kindness rather than frustration, we can begin to change both our experience of the world and the world’s experience of us.

As we create more and more peaceful oriented situations and experiences in our lives, we contribute to the overall peace of the planet. As we walk our days more peacefully, we influence those in our immediate circle. As they begin to experience more Peace, they in turn influence the friends and loved ones in their immediate circle and a fabulous wave of Peace begins to ripple outward.

The benefits of learning how to be more peaceful – more peace filled – are many.

A person who has mastered their ability to live from peace is a Godsend to humanity. The peaceful man is the one who leads when all others lose their heads. In times of chaos or trouble, it is the one who has harnessed the ability to remain peaceful that will discover the solution.

Please remember this will take time. Be patient with yourself. Be patient with others. We have been conditioned to be competitive and warring for centuries. This is why it is so difficult. We’ve been conditioned to “crack the whip” on ourselves. To continuously strive – to have perpetual drive. To do anything less has been looked upon as being lazy.

Well, it’s time to take accountability – it’s time to think for ourselves. It’s time we walk away from conditioning that no longer serves us. It’s time we come to our own conclusions. One such conclusion is pretty easy to come to — we simply can not create peace by fighting wars. Any time we’re “against” something … we simply donate our precious creative energy to the very thing we’re against.

We really must learn to do things differently. We want a different outcome, right? Well then the only thing we CAN do is do something differently. So let’s give Peace a chance. Let’s walk our talk. If we want more Peace, let’s create it.

Let’s start by learning to be peaceful with ourselves. Let’s start by coming to the conclusion that we are each responsible for our contribution to the world’s collective experiencing. Let’s start by each day making our contribution more peace-filled. Starting with the manner in which we treat ourselves.

Aloha nui loa,
With much love,

Aloha, My Darlings,

Mahalo – Thank You – for all of your love during this time of all-encompassing focus. My adorable Siberian Husky puppy, Lani, is doing much better. Although he is now 17.5 years old, the sudden liver and kidney failure that he experienced is now behind him and proved to be no match for his will to continue his earthly adventures. He now has again a perfect blood panel. Good thoughts and prayers for him to regain some of the weight he lost will be much appreciated.

I hope that you have felt my love and energetic support even though we may not have connected in more acceptably tangible ways. Please know that I truly extend my energies to you unceasingly.

In fact, in my silence you may rest assured that the intensity of my support of you and your creative desires is even greater. How can I say this? I can say this because if I am involved in something that takes me away from my communications with my extended family – you – I am most definitely activating a more intense creative energy on some front … and although my focus may be directed at something that may or may not involve you, it is ALWAYS with the intention that YOUR creative energies will be enhanced and strengthened as well. Please always hold that in your heart because I hold it in mine.

You need never feel alone in your attempts to align with your highest and best self. In actuality, there are a myriad of supportive individuals routing for you in any given moment. I just wanted you to hear it from someone that is placing one foot in front of the other on this sweet planet doing the best they can – just like you are. So, in those moments that you feel alone – even when you know intellectually that you’re not yet still feel as though you are – just remember that from the core of my essence I mean it when I say that I’m with you.

With Much Love and Appreciation,

~MeKila

Please share your comments/feelings below and we'll begin again our conversations.

Winter Solstice 2009

MeKila — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 05:57:47 +0000

Winter Solstice Sunset Kauai 2009

Aloha Dear Friends,

What a beautiful day we had here on Kauai! Although it marked the shortest day of the year for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, it was nonetheless a fabulous expression of Light. The above photo was taken as my husband and I enjoyed the sunset in honor of the Winter Solstice.

The word solstice literally means the “sun stops” … at both the Winter and Summer Solstice, the sun stops … and begins its journey back the other way. On the Winter Solstice, for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, it stops heading South and begins again to head North. The Summer Solstice is just the opposite – stopping its journey heading North and beginning again to head South.

I find the Winter Solstice to be one of the most powerful days of the year, and a special time for introspection. I, too, take a few moments to stop. I take this time to look back over the past year … to see what I’ve learned over that time, what I’ve accomplished within myself. How have I grown? How did I step out of my comfort zone? How did I expand my experience of my true self? How have I honored myself and others? Is there anything that no longer serves me? Any habits, or old beliefs that I’ve outgrown? I take some time to really look at the answers to those questions. If I’ve found things that I need to let go, I imagine doing so with ease and grace. There’s no need to hold onto concepts, beliefs or habits that are not serving me. Likewise, I allow myself to feel the sense of accomplishment when I remember where I’ve stepped up and done things that were challenging or uncomfortable … and allow myself to see and remember the outcome of those moments of inner bravery.

Then I shift my focus for a few moments to thinking about what the next year might hold. What would I like to experience in the coming year? What would I like to see come to fruition? What changes would I like to see in my life? How would I like to grow? I set the intention of expanding my awareness and experiences to include these things. I feel the excited anticipation of the growth that I am now facing.

Then, my favorite part of all, I revel in NOW. I feel gratitude for the fact that I am here, walking this Earth, during these exciting times. That I am sharing with you these precious moments in our planet’s history. That I am blessed with the opportunity to experience the myriad changes that we are experiencing in our consciousness with each day that passes. That I am given the opportunity to bring about changes in myself and consequently my world.

Happy Winter Solstice, Dear Hearts!
~MeKila

P.S. What are your thoughts, concerns or comments on this wondrous Winter Solstice (or Summer Solstice for my pals in the Southern Hemisphere where you can look at this as your halfway point in your year – how are your plans coming along … are there changes you need to make to meet your intended goals etc.)? If you feel inclined to share – please do so by leaving a comment below – I’d LOVE to hear your thoughts!

Urgent Prayer & Positive Energy Request

MeKila — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 22:11:20 +0000

Aloha and Thank You in advance for any energy you can lend to this urgent request.

The brother of a dear friend of mine is in urgent need of our energetic assistance. Although he has cancer, he had been feeling great so he traveled to South Africa (from Montana) to experience a life long dream. He successfully accomplished his goal and was very happy. The day after accomplishing this goal he became ill and thought it was an infection. Unfortunately, the cancer has spread to his brain and he is now in very, very bad shape.

He is in a hospital about 3 hours from Johannesburg. It is his desire and the desire of his family that he make it home. His trip will entail a 3 hour journey by car to get to Johannesburg. From Johannesburg there will be flights to Amersterdam, on to Atlanta and then finally to Montana. The flights alone are expected to take 20 hours.

Let’s please combine our energies to strengthen him for his journey ahead as well as to intend and fortify the trip itself to be one of ease.

The best thing we can do aside from setting our intention is to go about our lives in a joyful fashion … at the same time consciously sharing the energy of that joy in this family’s honor. For many of us our knee jerk reaction might be to worry … or to feel sorry for them. This is of no support to them or us. Worry is a very low frequency emotion and the last thing this family needs right now is to have low vibrational energy thrown at them. Let’s all do our best to carry out our day in the highest possible energies we can with the intention of sharing THAT energy with this family. Doing things that you truly enjoy – your favorite things – will put you in a state of higher energetic frequency. Experience joy, love, happiness, excitement … these energies are what is needed to lift this man up into the energies he will need to make his journey back to his family. Ultimately, his soul will make the final decision as to how this all plays out …. but we can support him with the best we have to offer. That is my intention – if you can contribute as well it will be of immense value.

Again I say a heartfelt Mahalo, my Dear Friends and fellow co-creators, for lending your support in this precious and urgent matter.

With much love and gratitude, now and always,
MeKila

P.S. Please share your comments and well-wishes below. I will be sure to pass them on to the family.

Animals

MeKila — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 15:28:39 +0000

Rev. Rita MeKila Herring
Universal Brotherhood Movement

The topic of animals is truly a tough one because it’s one that carries with it a heavy dichotomy. Science believes that humans are included in the animal kingdom yet many religions consider humans superior and animals “lowly.” Most are of the belief that humans are the most intelligent beings on earth but can they be so sure? We’re the only beings that put our own in cages. When you observe animals in their natural environment, there seems to be instinctual understanding of what’s acceptable and what is not within each unique community. We, the most intelligent have lost that instinctual understanding.

We’ve developed an unhealthy approach of separateness to everything. Separateness from animals because we’re better than them in some way. Separateness from others within our own species because we’re better than them too. It all appears to be insanely out of control.

Exclusiveness as an approach to life simply is not working for us. We need to approach a more inclusive attitude. We need to be more accepting of our fellow human beings even if they seem to be different in one way or another. We need to be more accepting of the life force contained within each animal. Our balance is terribly out of control and if we are to utilize our supposed supreme intelligence, we must adopt a more grateful and respectful attitude toward all animals, including ourselves.

Indigenous cultures believe that each animal carries lessons for us. Native Americans and Shamans called upon animals for their “medicine” – if a warrior needed to see in the dark, he’d call on Owl Medicine to enhance his eyesight. The world is full of wonderfully perfect teachers if we only remain open to what they have to share.

Look to other members of our animal family with a sense of responsibility and respect. Activate that claimed higher intelligence and do something about the wrongs and imbalances we’re witnessing on our precious planet.

The Body

MeKila — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 15:26:56 +0000

Rev. Rita MeKila Herring
Universal Brotherhood Movement

The only real possessions we own are what we “came in with.” Haven’t we all heard that? What does that mean, really? Does it mean that it’s wrong to enjoy the material things in life? Does it mean that nobody really owns anything anyway?

As we move through life we become so attached to our “things” – our cars, our homes, our bodies, together with all the little things that go with each. Often we mistakenly take on similar attitudes of attachment to the people in our lives – our friends, our children, our spouses.

If we’re honest with ourselves, deep down we realize that all of those things can disappear in an instance. Again, living here in the middle of the Pacific, we are graced with the blessing of being a little closer to that awareness than a lot of other parts of our country. Is there any question when an energy such as Iniki blows through that we aren’t always able to be “in charge” of the situation?

So what did we come in with? We came in with the love of our Creator. We came in with the wisdom of our Souls. We came in with the ability to think, learn, and grow. We came in with the capacity to love. These are the things we truly possess. These are the things that we have the power to hold onto. These are the things that we own.

Is it wrong to enjoy the material things in life? Not at all. Our challenge comes in keeping things in perspective. Pay attention to the attitude you hold about the people, places and things in your life and remember to cherish the “possessions” you came in with.

Education

MeKila — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 15:19:31 +0000

Rev. Rita MeKila Herring
Universal Brotherhood Movement

Life is education. As long as we’re still learning, we’re still being educated. The moment we stop learning, we stop living.

The single most powerful thing we can do to keep our mind active and alert is to keep learning new things. We need to keep exercising the brain. Learning keeps our brains active by creating new neuro pathways. These new neuro pathways keep the brain alive and active. When you stop learning you quit exercising the brain and stop generating the electricity you need to run that marvelous computer between your ears. I think we can all agree that keeping our minds alert and active is imperative to remaining in charge of our lives.

Perhaps the most intriguing area to focus on in your quest for education is to seek to truly understand yourself and your part in this great big universe. Knowledge truly is power. The more you know, the more easily you can make decisions when the need for them shows up in your face.
