Self Reflection

Good morning life! I invite you to reflect on all the great memories of 2012 today. Put your attention only on those experiences that made you feel good and made you grow as a human being. You may want to touch upon the seeming tragedies as well, but don't dwell on them. See how each of those events became actual opportunities in order to turn your life around for the better. Stay in reverence and an attitude of gratitude for everything. Much love!

Exhale slowwwwwllllly, hold on to the smile :)))))) Now, set yourself up for this thought: "I AM AN AMAZING, GORGEOUS, LOVELY, JOYOUS, ABUNDANT, SUCCESSFUL, HEALTHY, WEALTHY, AND PEACEFUL human being from this second forward.

Power up!

What the world needs more of is LOVE and the way it can receive this love is through your words. Be aware of the language you use with yourself and others throughout the day. Your words are truly powerful and have the capacity to heal the world or destroy it. The choice is yours! How often are you intentionally using loving thoughts in order to uplift someone else? If not often, start right now by saying: "I love and adore myself with an open heart, I AM WONDERFUL" to uplift yourself. That's your beginning point!

Your Oringins into NO-THING!

Have you ever thought where you originated from? Really, you may think you originated from your parents courtship and boom, all of the sudden you transformed into a stem cell, multiplying exponentially into a little fetus and forward. I want you to shift this perception and realize something. What where you before your parents gametes? Where were you residing? Let me ask you this,,,as you are reading this, consider your thoughts. Where are your thoughts coming from? Where are they going? What's their origin? Now going back to you, I want you to allow this possibility that your origin is from NO-THING, meaning you are pure spirit of light, of infinite potential, a continuous infinite BEING unfolding. Think about it and wrap your mind around this idea. Even your thoughts are tripping. YOU ARE AN INFINITE, ETERNAL BEING, occupying this sacred body in order to reflect and reveal the infinite mind of God, or the universe, or the cosmos! Here is something else: How can you loose someone forever when there is nothing to loose? Our bodies goes through energy shifts and transformation, we go from this time and space, transforming into our true essence which is light and unconditional love. You know that energy is never created or destroyed, right? So, how can you loose a loved one forever when you know in fact they are right there besides you , sending their blessings, love, and support from ultimate reality, The TRUTH,,,,God Itself,,,, right back to YOU! I'm grateful for you reading this and invite you to strengthen your faith into what matters most. What matters most is to keep moving forward, trusting that life is for us and not against us, knowing that we are here for a divine purpose to reflect and reveal that absolute perfection of the only thing that was, is , and ever will be! you god it , That's the Truth within your soul, that's God of the infinite cosmos and love, THAT'S WHO YOU ARE!

Three Healing Modalities

The truth of life is that everything is in the NOW, the present moment. Our minds, or EGO tends to get stuck in the past or drift in the future and create unwanted drama. Forgiveness is a liberating quality that can be embodied at soul level towards yourself or another human being in order to free you from the condensations of the past, the dense negative energies that fills your energy field and produce toxins all over your psyche. In order to get to forgiveness, you need to open your heart to the energy of unconditional love, which is the essence of the entire existence. The fabric of the universe, the Buddha field within, the creative life force energy that reflects itself in every being. Feeling this quality and embracing it within yourself allows you to tap into the power of forgiveness and release yourself from the past, anchoring you in the presence. Unconditional love also enables you to be more in tune to the energy of GRATITUDE which is also the doorway to the PRESENT MOMENT. Gratitude and appreciation frees you from the FEARs made by the EGO's identification with the future. The ancestor of Gratitude is also unconditional love, it's the energy necessary to have the courage for always remaining in Gratitude. Unconditional love is an inherent quality that you are born with, it is YOU.....Your connection to yourself. People may or may not deserve your unconditional love, but our task is to always be aware and present to this soul quality. Our challenge is to cultivate it within ourselves. To recognize it in everything, and everyone: Even those that don't deserve our unconditional love.

Hugs

Genuine hugs and loving kindness can heal our world. Are you willing to BE the change you want to see in the world? It starts with YOU!

Eyes closed

I find myself back in the Beginning. Starting a new day in this infinite ocean of devotion, swimming and catching the wave of love, joy, healing, peace, abundance, and prosperity. It's raining outside, I'm listening to the beautiful tune of the rain drops, connecting to it's blessing, becoming one with its power, yet it's gentleness. My heart is open and it's exuding LOVE

www.FindaLifeCoachLosAngeles.com

I'm Good Enough

Sometimes you just got to let go of past experiences that bring up some sort of pain in your present moment. Opening yourself up to the new and embracing change helps to overcome fears of the unknown. I have lots of these emotions surfacing up. I was just meditating and allowing these emotions to pass through me and out of my energy field. You are responsible for clearing up issues you may have with others and issues with yourself in order to be able to go beyond your challenges. Forgiveness and compassion towards your inner being allows you to free yourself up from any guilt or resentment you may carry. I accept that I'm not responsible for anyone's decision and choices they are making for their own life and growth. I let go of my egoic needs and control of the situation. Life carries infinite possibilities and I'm open to it. Here's my commitment: I'll remain honest, balanced, healthy, kind, loving, and enjoy my every second of existence without sabotaging myself. I honor my worth and know my value. I will continue to inspire, give, and be myself. I don't give up and I trust in the universe to have my highest path on purpose- unfolding and expressing all of its good for me in every moment. This too shall pass! There is no better feeling than having faith in yourself and in the source energy that's in you and all around you. Trust it. Trust yourself and hold your head up!

Keep Going Forward

Sometimes all we have to hold on is our FAITH when everything we are going through seems like a free fall. Life challenges happens to the best of us. I invite you to really open your hearts this holiday season, reflect within, and ask your divine higher self for guidance regularly to shift through the challenges you are going through...DON'T GIVE UP HOPE!

Flow

Good morning Life: Finding that silent space deep within my heart, listening to an amazing chant, and as I'm writing this I feel my energy elevating, with each breath I feel life passing through my lungs, down my spinal cord and as I breath out, I feel it radiating out through my heart. That space deep within us is the center of universe, your inner being, your authentic self. Where worry and doubt does not exist. It's silent, it's empty, it's peaceful. It's where the God within resides. It's where your soul smiles at you with loving tenderness and compassionate kindness. Right now I'm sending you LOVE from this space! Asking for all the blessings in the world to rain upon both YOU , ME and the entire HUMANITY.....and so it is :)

Happy December 21st, 2012

I'm not an astrologer neither do I understand the Mayan's Calender. No, the world is not ending! Take a deep breath, it's just the beginning of a beautiful shift, a change in our collective cosmic consciousness. Yes, I'm a lover of life, peace, compassion, giving, sharing, healing, and raising our energy into higher vibrations. I feel it happening globally and people waking up to their true selves. Ohhhhh, it's just the beginning of unity and ONENESS. Open your hearts and do an act of KINDNESS towards someone today with no expectation. Smile and be proud for who you ARE! HAPPY DECEMBER 21-2012
 I LOVE YOU ALL :)

Persistence

Being persistent is the key to overcome any challenge you may be facing. Be smart about the decisions you make and walk right through rejections, judgments, and discouragements. There is always the right person, right circumstance, and perfect position that is yours to match up with. Keep faith, open your heart, be kind, and stay in universal harmony......It's all Good!

Chakra Healing Meditation

Part of my teachings before and after  Chakra Healing Meditation is focusing on three main soul qualities: 1: Unconditional love 2: Forgiveness , & 3: Gratitude. During Meditation, I go very deep at all three levels of consciousness by opening your heart to unconditional love that resides within you. Then, when you touch your soul, I walk you through forgiving yourself and forgiving others in this lifetime and by releasing any karmic energy being carried through from past life times. At the end, I totally immerse you in the power of gratitude to heal yourself from dis-ease or dis-harmony at physical, emotional, mental, and soul body levels. It's an amazing journey for me as a guide because each time I become a new person. Each time my inner world changes for the better. My life is never the same! For this, I'm so grateful!

Believe

Just know that when you fall down there will be a time you'll get back on your feet again. No matter what, keep moving forward and put your attention on what's working in your life rather than what's missing. Take one step at a time and believe in yourself! 

www.FindaLifeCoachLosAngeles.com

Be Real!

It feels awesome when you honor the TRUTH within you and listen to your INTUITION. Being REAL is most difficult thing to do sometimes because we grew up in a society that demands us to meet other people's expectations and needs. We seldom care about what matters in our hearts, rather, we ACT in front of people, family, and friends in order to make them happy. Being REAL takes COURAGE. COURAGE is birthed from clearing your connection to your SOURCE.....Honor your Truth and Be REAL!

www.FindaLifeCoachLosAngeles.com

Humility

The more humble and kind you are, the more people will get attracted to you and serve all of your needs. Life is a reflection of your inner beauty!  The spirit of generosity always reigns supreme.

www.FindaLifeCoachLosAngeles.com

Peaceful World

The world is Changing for the better! These are the times for unity, peace, and oneness to shine through. The old can not stand the natural vibration of the cosmos which is abundance, joy, cooperation, compassion, creativity, peace, beauty and love. I say this from observing my own community coming together and taking a stand for what's naturally good. To love, to heal, to inspire, and to give to people who need our help. The shift is happening and it's happening right there within ourselves. It's time to take care of each other, lower our guards, open our hearts, and allow the spirit of love to work it's miracles through us, as us, as ONE!

Holiday Season

Holidays are meant to be a joyous period of the year , however, research shows that higher number of suicide takes place during these times. This is because people with extreme emotional challenges get into deeper state of depression and hopelessness when they observe others being happy and enjoying their time. They feel alienated, guilty, and helpless. What you can do is reach out to these people and be there for them. Get them help. Don't just say, "It's their problem". No, it's our problem!!!! We can activate HOPE & FAITH in their HEART. We have the power to HEAL our world through LOVE & COMPASSION.

Who Am I?

How do you explain premature death? It's beyond my scope of understanding. How do you explain 20 little kids having their lives taken away in an instance of insanity? I can't explain that either. Unless we strengthen our FAITH and have an inner knowing that we are more than this body, more than our muscles and bones, we wont be able to recover and move forward. The knowing that we are spirits of l

ove; whole, perfect , and complete on an earthly mission- fulfilling a purpose to become more and never less of who we are. I ponder these questions: Who am I? What am I here to do? What's my purpose and divine destiny in this world? I surrender and take comfort in the KNOWING of my TRUTH: I AM LOVE!

DrRod26.com

Hopeless?

 I feel you right now, wherever you are, whatever you do, if you are feeling down, low, and hopeless, know that you are being loved right now. Know that the darkest moments in your life will initiate you into something completely extraordinary. You must have FAITH and keep BELIEVING in yourself. Reach down within your heart and turn on that inner flicker of light. It's you, your natural BEINGNESS...YOU ARE LOVE!

Rain Drop

Earlier this morning I was hiking at my beautiful trail close to my house. The mountain is truly my sanctuary. I love hiking specially when it's freezing cold like today. There are couple of different trails that I normally take. The one I took today we call "The Butt Burner", because it's relentless. It goes up a 70 degree hill for a good 40 minutes with only few feet of flat landmarks. Thus, your Butt really burning after finishing climbing. As I started this, I felt the rocks underneath my shoes, sliding a little here and there because of the mud. I tuned into my breath, inhaling deep breath and exhaling slowly, moving up step by step. I could see my breath coming out, freezing cold, steaming through my face. I tuned into my entire body, my hands, lower back, knees, and feet. I imagined the oxygen I'm inhaling going through my lungs, mixing up with my blood, and getting pumped all over my body through my heart. My mind slowed down, my focus and attention only to my surroundings. Listening to the trees, the rocks, the grass around. Feeling the air, feeling the sun slowly showing up through the branches. As I worked myself up this hill, I started paying attention to the rain droplets on the leaves. 20 minutes into my hike, I stopped and tuned into one rain drop. It was hanging on the tip of this beautiful green leaf. Half of it's volume on the tip and the other half hanging freely in the middle of the air. As I went closer, I noticed my own reflection in the droplet. I completely lost myself in its molecules, feeling the chemical energy of water. I started wondering where this droplet came from. It once was a cloud that came from the oceans. I felt the clouds inside every nerve of my body. Before the clouds it was part of the ocean. So, I felt the ocean in my blood, gushing through my arteries, feeding every cell in my body. As I stared at this gorgeous droplet, I felt like tasting it. So, I moved closer to the leaf and stuck my tongue out to rescue the droplet. My eyes crossed as I got closer and closer with my tongue to finally make contact. Suddenly, the droplet was part of me, jumping to the tip of my tongue and becoming part of my entire being. It tasted delicious. It had so much energy stored in it. I felt my body shivering and waking up to the power of this simple, little droplet. So life giving, so pure, so refreshing. I had the biggest smile on my face. I moved back, picked up a rock from underneath this tree and held it in my hands. I was meditating the entire time after on my experience with this rain droplet. For the next hour and a half, I was taken away by this experience, connected to nature, connected to the universe and everything in it. Thanking my creator for giving me the insights to feel the oneness with everything around me. I told myself that I will share this experience as well as I possibly can with everyone. Thus, writing right now and passing it on to you.

Shift Happens!

What are you GROWING THROUGH? This year has been of incredible challenges for many people. I get emails and letters from all over the world, people sharing what they are going through and it really amazes me. Relationship changes, financial challenges, health issues, and more. They are looking for answers and reasons of why this shifts are happening. 2012 has been of an amazing turn around in my

own personal life as well. All I can say is to stay strong, keep your FAITH intact, and plant the seed of HOPE in your life. There is a planetary shift at subatomic levels going on, increasing the earth vibration and human consciousness. The old thought patterns and state of beings are shifting into higher spiritual vibrations. People coming together, tyranny falling, old financial structure crumbling. At a personal level, the EGOIC mind is loosening it's grip on the old and CONSCIOUSNESS, YOUR SOUL IS COMING RIGHT THROUGH! The problems you are going through are pulling you into your AUTHENTIC SELF, your true self. Sometimes, in order for us to grow, we go through IMMENSE PAIN. Pain pushes you until a vision pulls you towards your divine destiny. Discover your VISION OF LIFE, strengthen your FAITH, do the inner work of MEDITATION AND PRAYERS. Spend as much time as possible asking yourself this question: WHAT IS THE CREATIVE PURPOSE OF MY SOUL? Then, allow the answer to guide your life! WELCOME TO EARTH,,,,HANG IN THERE...HANG IN THERE MY FRIENDS, IT'S GONNA BE ALRIGHT!

Journey

I’m going to take you on a spiritual, mental, and an emotional journey, right now, in this moment I will take you in a very profound level of consciousness. I just felt like writing. Feel your heart with your right hand. Feel your heart beat. Pay attention to your breath. Inhale through your nose.  Exhale out through your mouth. Slowly feel the air going in and out of your lungs while you are feeling your heart beat. Do you feel the synchrony? Are you becoming more aware of the miracle you are? It’s so effortless. It’s happening on its own. Feel the power that is going through you, through your body, your mind, your entire being. It’s within every cell in your body. You’ve got close to 50 trillion cells. Imagine yourself diving into your own body. Imagine swimming in your blood stream, going through all the arteries and veins. Look at the interconnectedness. One heart beat supplies blood to the entire cells of your body. One breath supplies oxygen everywhere in your body. It’s all ONE. One breath, one heart beat. Like the cosmos. The entire universe is one. As you get to one cell, allow yourself to sink in right through it. Look at all the structures, atoms and the molecules around you. Now, catch one atom and dive right in. You are now entering this one unit of being that is composed of energy particles bouncing against each other. Like a dance, they are making love. These particles go in and out of reality. They appear and disappear. As you get yourself deeper between them, you see that there is only vast empty space. Just like looking at the sky on a clear night. You can see the stars floating around but you’ll see more darkness than the twinkles. That darkness is empty space. It’s expanding  and unfolding into infinity at a very  fast speed. Relax into this empty space within the atom of your one cell you dove into. Listen to the silence. Listen with your inner ear. You’ll hear the sound of creation. You’ll hear the breath of God breathing into this empty space. You’ll feel the love that’s being generated in this blissful spaciousness. You are in the presence of God. Can you feel it? Listen… Feel your breath, feel your heart beat. Remember Oneness. Right now your consciousness is one with God. Your soul is being touched by every breath, every heart beat. You are one with God. Allow yourself to go back out into the atom, into the cell, swimming back in your blood stream, back into your heart, becoming one with your blood and the oxygen in your lungs, become the breath exhaling the oxygen from your lungs and into the sky. Go up away from earth, up close to the sun, away from our galaxy. Now, you are in the presence of billions of other galaxies stretching out into infinity. Wow, you are finding yourself back into infinity again. Look out with your inner eye, feel your heart beat, feel your breath. What do you see there? Do you see your own reflection in this empty space? Do you feel your own spaciousness, vastness, your infinitude? Can you feel it? Let all of your 50 trillion cells burst out into this empty space, becoming one with each galaxy that’s stretched out into infinity. Your entire being is becoming one with all that ever was, ever is, and ever will be. You are NOW experiencing the ONENESS with it ALL. BEING and BECOMING ONE WITH GOD. ONE WITH THE UNIVERSE! That’s your true essence. That’s who you are. It does not make a difference if you travel within or travel without, you are ONE!  You are love! You are God…

The Observer

One of the keys to inner peace and happiness is to perceive more and judge less. Allow yourself to be an observer of your passing thoughts rather than getting caught into life's drama. This is an art that can be achieved through the practice of meditation. As you become more aware of your breath, you release attachments to the outside circumstance and become more in tune with your authentic self.  You can BE it, DO it, and HAVE it All......

Inner Strength

Every human being that comes in our lives serves a special purpose. Many times, those people that hurt us later become our biggest teachers because we get to discover our inner strength from our experiences with them. After a bitter relationship, there is a sweet companionship waiting for you. Be patient, have hope, love yourself, and stay strong to overcome what you are growing through. When you find yourself trapped, know that you have the power to get out and attract the soul mate your soul is truly desiring to be with.

Forget & Forgive

I realize how difficult it is to let go of a special someone in the past that you had history with and got hurt from. The recurrent thoughts, the good times, and the sweet memories. However, in order to move on, you must be willing to forgive and open your heart to LOVE. To stay in the present moment, send them a blessing, and invite a new, fresh, lively existence into your presence. Memories BEGONE :)

Life IS ! Meditative Thought

As I'm sitting here before meditation, I allow a deep cleansing breath take over my entire being, letting go of all the past story, blame, pain, I realize my connection and totality with the oneness of God, mother/father God, How great thou art. How great and amazing is our body, our mind, our soul, this Now moment of existence realizing that I'm more than this body, this flesh of muscles and bones,, I am the light generating this body, the love that is the driving force of my blood in my veins, the presence, not an absence, that is closer than my neck veins, breathing through and as me. I'm one with life, one with love, one with God. I'm the 'I' behind the "Eye"....I am God, God is.....At this moment I hold the entire universe in high level of consciousness, knowing that all of our needs are met in every aspect of our lives, in health, in healing, in divine harmonizing prosperity, abundance reigns supreme, divine right action takes over every thought in our mind. Our emotional body becomes clear of pain and suffering, our astral body becomes luminous with shining light, our mental body is sharp, clear, and brilliant, our physical body healed from any dis-ease and dis-harmony. We are moving forward in complete faith of all of our needs met, all of our prayers already answered, open and receptive to receive this miracle we call life, allowing it to live, breath, and unfold through our soul's evolution leading and guiding us with our soul's purpose to our divine destiny. This I know to be true, and this I feel right now with every ounce of my energy and being. I let go of it knowing it is words of healing for everyone who is in accordance with this energy field. And so it is, Amen...

EGO

EGO 

Taken from my book: "The Loving Light Within"
DrRod26.com

 There has been so much written about ego. Some good things and mostly negative things. I love Dr. Wayne Dyer’s description of the letters E-G-O:
“Edging God Out”
This really resonates well with me and I’ll elaborate on it. I’ve deliberately put ego as the first chapter because I wanted to give you a different point of view so that when you go through this book, every time you see the word ego you get in touch with this new perspective. I personally don’t think of ego as something negative, in fact, I look at it as my best friend.
As a human being, you’re consciousness has been evolving throughout the ages. Your ego is the part of your consciousness that makes you aware of your surroundings. Ego is that part of you which separates you from the world. It creates the context for your sense of individuality. Another word for ego is the mind, or your thoughts. The mind (or thought) can work for you if it’s used in a positive way. Ego has evolved to give you tools in order to find your place in the universe.
A healthy ego is essential for your spiritual growth and expansion. It is the pivotal point of reference that initiates you into the realm of awareness. I love my ego! I embrace my ego because each time it reveals itself to me and I become aware of it, I know that the act of awareness itself has purified my ego and has contributed to my expansion. However, a very dominant ego that hasn’t been tamed can be very challenging to deal with.
Here are several of ego’s identifications with personalities that can overcome you and get you in a bit of trouble:

• getting offended with others,
• constantly competing rather than cooperating with others,
• trying to prove your point,
• a feeling of superiority over others,
• the need for accumulating more stuff in your life,
• the urge to brag about your achievements,
• and your struggle with your reputation.

A healthy ego can be aware of these attributes when they show up in life circumstances. Through awareness, you can feel when a thought occurs that is not coming from the context of unity; therefore, you are able to realize that your ego is playing games with you. As you meditate and get more connected with your true self, who is a spiritual being having a temporary human experience, the reaction time between your ego’s experience and the actual experience expands. You’ll be more in control of a thought that tries so hard to derail you from your purpose and actually observe your ego with joy.
To allow and let go of your minds identification with these egoic structures is the doorway to spiritual growth and realization of who you truly are.

I’ve put together thoughts and affirmations in this chapter that will enable you to realize more of the qualities of your ego, its structure, and associated feelings that come with these thought patterns. My affirmations are platforms to create that reactionary gap necessary for your thoughts to get neutralized, your ego tamed, and your heart singing the song of freedom. Read them with conviction and repeat them to yourself as many times as you wish.

Dear Self ...

DEAR SELF: I know you've gone through so much drama and difficulties throughout the past experiences. Oh, I realize how many mistakes you've made, how many times your heart has been broken, and how many better choices you could have made but you didn't. I remember the good times and the bad times. Self, I'm here to set you free. I'm here to tell you that every action, thought, decision, hurt, pain..., love, mistake, and all of your past experiences were all divine love in action. Every person that came in your life, that broke your heart, was an angle to teach you about yourself. All your bad decisions and their consequences were opportunities for your growth. Where ever you are in life, is where you are suppose to be in order to evolve and mature. Self, I love you, adore you, and am telling you to forgive yourself by letting go of any resentments for you are the one that can make it happen for yourself.
With tons of love,

Answered Prayers

Life answers your prayers according to the tune of the song you are singing. As I wake up in the morning, the first things I say to myself are : " I am grateful and thankful, I'm appreciative for everything I've got. How may I serve today? What prayers can I answer today?" Immediately, I become the answered prayer for someone else and allow the universe to answer my prayers as it fits best for me, in it's own divine timing. IT ALWAYS DOES PERFECTLY! Try it.

Are You Available?

Since I've made myself available to the spirit of love wholeheartedly, I've changed as a human being. I've been more in touch with my soul and walked a very fulfilling path. I was always curious as a child about meditation and people who are deeply in touch with nature. Always wondered how they feel inside and what their view is collectively. Now, I've found myself to be that same person I dreamed about many years ago. At first it's kind of very strange, it's actually scary sometimes. It trips me out. You know what it is? It's just a deep sense of peace and appreciation for existence that makes me content. There is no need to reach somewhere, because I have a deepest sense that I've already arrived. That I took on this reincarnation to fulfill a destiny special to me. It shows up in my thoughts, it shows up in my acts. It shows up in how I show up first thing in the morning to myself. I catch myself with Egoic thoughts that I know are kicking me off my path and purpose. It's great when I catch them and feel the spaciousness within. Observing them gives me a sense of fulfillment. Just being with them, not judging them , not labeling myself as good or bad, not associating with them, because I know I'm not my thoughts, nor the labels I've been given by society, family , friends, and this world itself. Spiritual path is challenging. It requires commitment and persistence to your higher self. Knowing that it's always there to support you NO MATTER WHAT. It's also a bigger commitment to others. Commitment to your thoughts and actions, knowing that whatever you say or do effects everyone, every sentient being. So, there's a lot of responsibility that comes with it. You must constantly check your inner world, cleaning up your inner closet, keeping the energy balanced, and making sure you are not falling pray to your EGO, which you most certainly do at times. What matters most is are you willing to take responsibility for the times you do fall down and fall pray to it? or Are you going to play victim with life circumstances and opinions of people about you? It's a fine balancing act and one that you must be aware of. How do you keep this awareness fresh and continuous? Through meditation, prayers, giving, and service to others. Through releasing your gifts and talents that you were blessed with to the best of your capability. Through appreciation for what you have, never comparing yourself to what others have, and contentment. Through finding happiness in the small things, in the process of life, and in the fundamental order of universal laws. Through allowing yourself to be in the flow, and when you are not, to take a recess from the process. To go within and touch your authentic self and bringing forth your true self with others. First with yourself and then with others. Through humility and self worthiness, through love and gentleness. Through allowing your creativity blossom like a beautiful flower. Through patience and perseverance. Through divine right action and knowing that you are supported continuously day in and day out. I was holding a meditation group at my friends house yesterday and I had 10 beautiful souls under my wings to lift their spirit to higher level and healing them from dis-ease and dis-harmony. It is such an amazing feeling when I connect with others at a deep soul level. As I set my intention, I become a vessel for the spirit of love to take me over and do what it's suppose to do. I don't do anything, I don't take any credit for it. It's just being aware that life wants to create and reveal it's beauty through you. This incredible energy is available to all of us. It infinite, it's eternal, it's peaceful, and it's all within YOU. Open your heart to discover it within yourself and radiate it out to others. There are immense global changes happening at each moment. Human beings are becoming more aware, more in tune, more connected to each other, and more united. When there are enough people discovering their inner truth and seek out their destiny intentionally to bring heaven on earth, we are going to have Peace in our lifetime. I know we can, I know we are able, I know we are capable, and I know that's where we are heading. The key to it is to become AVAILABLE! So, you tell me, ARE YOU AVAILABLE?

Live a Purposeful Life with Passion

I’m an ordinary guy with a mission and vision of life that I know is my calling. My name is Rod, well it’s actually Shahrad, which in my native language means ‘A young prince’. I was born in Tehran, Iran and came to United States when I was 10 years of age. I’ve been blessed with an incredible family; my parents, my beautiful sisters, their husbands, kids, and extended aunts, uncles, cousins…We all have a unique story to tell.  As I usually say, ‘everyone has a story’, and here is mine.
I grew up in a conservative Jewish family and the turning point of my life was when a group of thugs attacked me on the first day of high school. I was so disappointed that I begged my parents to enroll me in a private school. As a result, I ended up in a private orthodox Jewish school, Valley Torah High School. I had an honor to learn and study about my religion on a daily basis. My interest though became more about the spirituality aspects of Judaism. I connected with a great Rabbi who taught me the principles of Jewish Mysticism, Kabala. I’ve always been very discipline in what I do, so my studies were always priority for me.
After graduating high school, I ended up at University where I chose to study Biology. I was inspired to become a physician. My last name in Farsi actually means ‘medicine’, or Pezeshki. I had this dream to becoming a healer from a very young age. Well, my parents dream, to be more accurate, which I’ve always respected and inherently made part of my own. We take on our societal roles at a very young age from our parents, teachers, friends, and other role models that shape us into becoming who we are. However, towards the end of my university, I took a Psychology course that taught Modern Western Psychology through Eastern Philosophy. I was amazed by my professor, Dr. Roger Moss, to whom I always extend my deepest gratitude for my breakthrough in life. I loved learning about Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, and so forth. It was a fresh opening for me, a new discovery. Therefore, I continued to study Psychology and did further soul searching. Regardless of this new frontier, I followed my dream of becoming a doctor.
I had the pleasure of studying abroad for medical school where I learned a new language, lived in a very unique environment, and worked in the poorest areas in the world. Guadalajara, Mexico became my new home and my new life became very challenging for me to adapt and handle. I was in a long distance relationship at that time and the pressures of keeping up with medical school’s demand led me into a severe depression. Experiencing this for the first time, I didn’t know how to handle my feelings. My Sister supported me by showing up to Mexico few times and found me a great Psychiatrist to get help from. I battled through my emotional challenges and career until I finished Medical School and came back to U.S.
Further, I had a challenging time with my first set of medical boards called USMLE Step 1. This journey motivated me to do lots of inner work on myself. It strengthened me each time I dealt with defeat, not to give up, to become more discipline, and inspire myself to take action. Along this path, I had many beautiful souls that helped reshaping myself into who I have become now which is a creative, kind, loving, beautiful, expansive, receptive, endlessly abundant, happy, plentitude, and a peaceful individual. They know who they are and they know how much I love them unconditionally.
My path took me to New York in order to finish my year of clinical Internship and get my 5th Pathway Doctrate Diploma from New York Medical College. I successfully finished the rest of my medical board exams. Gratefully, my dream of becoming a physician has led me to my inner calling and purpose in life which is:

I intend to love, to heal, and to inspire myself and others in order to raise the collective cosmic consciousness.

I’ve been sharing this intention and vision on Facebook for the past three years, writing my status updates daily after meditation. I’ve set up a group called “Live a Purposeful Life with Passion” that currently has over 2000 members. This later became the title of my first book that was published in April of 2011.
Currently, I have published my second book called “The Loving Light Within”. I do spiritual healing for dis-ease of the body/mind/soul and inspirational one on one life coaching. I’m connected to amazing souls internationally who spread love, advocate for peace, and promote positive thinking. I also practice ancient wisdom new age philosophy with my teacher at Agape International Spiritual Center, Dr. Michael Bernard Beckwidth. My favorite teachers in the personal development studies include masters such as Dr. Wayne Dyer, Anthony Robbins, Ekhrat Tolle, Gregg Braden, Deepak Chopra, and Luis Hays. Each author has influenced me in their unique way. I also practice and teach an awesome meditation called ‘JAPA’, which is the repetition of the sound that is in the name of God, ‘Ahh’. Through my involvement with the life visioning process at Agape, I’ve connected to my purpose in life and am clear about my uniqueness in order to reflect and reveal the Divine through my life. This is what I mean by knowing my ‘calling’ and I can help you get connected to yours!
Living a purposeful life with passion is my goal in life.  I turned my life around when I started looking within for solutions, rather than looking outwards.  My life turned around when I began to understand that I am more, I deserve to treat myself better, and that I am good enough.  I changed my habits, and chose better habits.  As I changed from within, I realized that my circumstances changed from without.  The more I became detached from my Ego, the more I felt oneness with the universe.  I am a promoter of peace and positive energy.  My purpose in life is to serve others, through my career, or through the smallest deeds.
To quote Lao Tzu, “Great acts are made up of small deeds”…I believe that our creator has intended for us to give, to share, to love, and to be great role models and excellent human beings.  We have great responsibilities, and I believe that in our generation we have to be proactive.  Realizing the world around us is nothing more or nothing less than the reflection of what we have become from within. Thus, we must become the very things we choose to experience in our life…peace, abundance, success, healing, purpose, compassion, and above all LOVE!
My goal is to spread this message… Live a Purposeful Life with Passion!!
