The Peace of Acceptance

Why are all forms temporary? When we follow the transition of form to energy, we are on the Path to Enlightenment and Abundance.

There is a part of us that finds the loss of familiarity and form off-putting and disconcerting. I’m sure you’ve experienced that feeling…the sense that we want our loved ones with us always and our youth not to fade. We want abundance to show itself in a material way as reassurance that our existence isn’t in vain. We foster the denial that all material form is temporary. But if we’ve done any spiritual study and believe in a Creative Force beyond the senses, we know that part of Creation is the movement from invisible energy into form, and from form back into invisible energy.

We tend to celebrate the former, but not so much the latter. So many cycles in the natural world demonstrate that both are necessary. I used to think of this in a material way, that the necessity of death and destruction was simply to make room for more Creation. Now I tend to see the disappearance of people and things as lighting a Path. This is intended to teach us what and who we truly are, i.e., physical embodiments of Creative Love. When we return to that Love gracefully and without resistance (even while we’re still in physical form), we underscore our identity as manifestations of glorious abundance. This is a paradox that troubles the mind: it seems like a contradiction that destruction on the material plane reinforces the path to abundance. But when we are closer to the Creative Source, connected to Universal Energy, we are closer to abundance in every way.

Coming to this realization means letting go of the most basic notions we’ve come to believe about who we are and what Life is. It allows us to make every stage of our lives an opportunity to embrace abundance showing itself as this moment and these conditions. Accepting this can lead us to gratitude and the peace of acceptance. And it can fuel enthusiasm and defeat futility and depression.

Let’s try to move with the tides of change and not resist. Changes embraced and blessings multiplied!

With love, Rosanne

The Patina of Aging

By Rosanne Bostonian | August 14, 2024

I was speaking to a friend about his intrigue with “patina” on furniture and building materials. Patina is the signs of weathering that give wood, metal and objects character. Patina is a visible sign of age that can refer to the appearance of something that has become beautiful over time. It’s considered desirable to show that…

For Love of Teaching

I remember being in the back of a classroom as a student teacher. I watched the master teacher while looking at the backs of my students. When it was my turn to step up to the podium, it was a shock. They were all looking at me. They were waiting and nothing would happen until…

Entitled?

By Rosanne Bostonian | August 30, 2023

If you observe yourself and others, the basic entitlement we all assume is feeling good. In fact, when disharmony visits us (as it always will) we quickly seek remedies legal or illegal to feel better. In fact, all addictions are based on the entitlement to feel good. No news flash: Life doesn’t always feel good.…

Religious v. Spiritual

By Rosanne Bostonian | May 23, 2023

I’ve been asked a number of times about the difference between religion and spirituality.  Since there are increasing numbers of people that claim to be spiritual, but not religious, it’s a valid question. The way I think about this is that religion is a road map, a set of directions that keeps us on course,…

That’s the way life is, so that’s the way I am

By Rosanne Bostonian | April 24, 2023

With our big brains and learning capacities, we figure out the way life is. Once we’ve established the way life is, we attribute our feelings, our relationships, and our sensibilities accordingly. There is a surrender to the way life was and it automatically becomes the way life is and will always be.  A simpler way…

The “eternal” is at work in the pastures of Florida. A relentless rhythm of Life living itself in every square inch of land, air and tree. The lowing cattle live an eternal existence that has taken place here for centuries. The names on the few street signs reflect the history of the area…SW Florida a…

The Truth

By Rosanne Bostonian | January 10, 2023

We humans have many personal experiences that shape our individual biases, things we think are true. How about differentiating The Truth from my truth, realizing that these are ever so different from each other. The inability to see the difference is a historical problem that is expressed on the international scale between tribes and countries.…

A Terrible Master

By Rosanne Bostonian | January 2, 2023

Have you noticed that you “feel before you think?” The body is wise and intuitive…the mind can be easily fooled. The longer I practice Reiki, (light touch energy healing) I realize that it is a validation of what I’ve known all along. As they say in the East, the mind is a wonderful servant but…

The Snow Grinch

By Rosanne Bostonian | December 14, 2022

I’ve never been a big fan of snow. I don’t ski nor snowboard (God forbid), and the shoveling and travel hazards have been exhausting and scary. On the surface, snow is fraught with trials and tribulations. Walking my dog in the snow has resulted in several butt surfing episodes that are ever more daunting in…

Since I’ve been doing Reiki practice, I have much more appreciation for feet.  My now famous dog, Toby, looks in puzzlement as I try to negotiate slippery stairs and sidewalks on two feet.  He cocks his head wondering why in Heaven’s name I am a biped.  I can empathize with his puzzlement.  It seems to…
