State of innocence

Posted on by webadmin

 I don’t know about all of you guys, but when I look at children I see for the most part, especially kids under the age of 10 the true innocence of what is pure. That pure nature that leaves so many of us as we get older and domesticated into this world of rules, judgements and opinions. You know the “way we’re supposed to act and dress. Before we have to make it on our own with countless responsibilities. Bills to pay. relationships and even having kids of our own. Lately I’ve been really trying to inject the efforts of a small child into my being. Trying not to hard, but just looking at everything in all it’s beauty. I think we can all be in that state if we desire and have more fun with our lives. Don’t sweat the small stuff so much and just focus on the inside more and when we feel down go into past experiences that made us feel good in our childhood. We can only be as happy as we choose to be. But I think if we approach our daily grind with less resistance to the negatives we can all attain a better state of health and contentment. My two sense for the day.

Love You All – Ryan

The Busy Mind Cure.

Posted on by webadmin

 Sometimes in our busy minds it’s easy to get bombarded with “too much at once” , our brain can get saturated with an overload of data, which in turn is too much to process. The good thing is, if this resonates with you, your human. For my monkey mind to shut up, I can do a few different things to turn of the flow to get centered and grounded. Music for me is an instant cure. That and a some form of physical activity. When I’m fully engaged in the “doing mode” I feel present and happy thoughts begin to flow. I meditate the best I can, but during meditation I can often lose focus as well. That’s why exercise is a form of meditation as well.

 Just pick something you love to do and get emotionally involved with it and watch the busy mind begin to clear. When thoughts and events enter our lives it’s easy to become distracted and get frustrated. Just remember whatever it is will soon pass. And the more calm we can be and focus on our breathing the less impact whatever it is will effect you on any emotional scale. Life is one big game, and you never know what the universe will throw at you. Everything in life is temporary and constantly changing. It’s tough at times to accept change, but just remember that the only thing in life that never changes is change itself.

 Folks you just got to have faith! Faith in the infinite and all the exciting things the present and future have in store for all of us.

Much Love Ryan.

Look at the good

Posted on by webadmin

 We meet people everyday in life and in most cases we don’t think twice about all the encounters because of our busy schedules and minds. I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately. First the fact that no matter who you are or where you live, we all are made from the same “stuff” , Mother nature has blessed us with so many gifts. We have the five senses that tell us when something is hot,cold,smells good or bad. We have the blessing of tasting amazing foods and hearing beautiful pieces of music. A lot of us forget these blessings that most of us have. Some of the less fortunate people in life have had either injuries or been born without some of these blessings.

 It doesn’t matter if your working at job that doesn’t pay much or making millions of dollars in a “big time” position or where you live. It’s so important that we treat everyone the same and see the good in all the people we meet. If we lived in a world free of judgements wow would it make a lot of difference. I know it’s tough at times for some, but if we can always try to take the good out of every situation and take time for people that have maybe less than, not only do you make others feel better, but giving that goodness back gives you a real sense of inner peace. Oh the journey of life and all the amazing people out there to meet, pretty exciting if you ask me. Especially if you are always intending to see the good.

To all the Goodness in this beautiful world. -Ryan

GOOD ATTRACTS GOOD

Posted on by webadmin

You know those days when things just aren’t going your way! When you just feel “off” and when that smile is turned into a straight face or even a sad frown, we all have those days. Today I found myself in a bad energy field. My mind wasn’t stimulated on a high frequency or vibration. I had the old monkey brain firing off in all kinds of different directions and felt disconnected and not comfortable in my own skin. I always know those feelings of negative feeling vibrations will pass. But of course like most human beings I find myself restless and trying to force myself into the positive feeling vibration by forcing my thoughts, which in turn takes my entire being and feeling way out of alignment. I found myself panicky and lost for a time. But it’s time like these when I know I just have to feel myself into a good feeling place in my mind.

 Doing something I love always does the trick. So when I was feeling down and out there for that brief time I knew that throwing my i-pod on with some good tunes , getting a good workout in and focusing on all the great things that I do have in my life would make my vibration raise higher and allow me to be in that state where I could bring goodness into my life that would make me feel better. After a good sweat I felt so much better. I relaxed my mind and injected energy into my being. In a matter of an hour I was back on a positive vibration. I went for lunch feeling amazing, and within five minutes I met a man who was on the same channel as me because we started talking, and he gives back to charity in Cambodia. We had a great talk for a few minutes and he offered to take care of my lunch on his tab. So that’s my living proof that like energy attracts like energy. It generally always happens that way. When you feel great, good things happen.So the key is when you aren’t in a great feeling state to do something you love. And think of all the things your grateful for. We all want to feel great most of the time, and the only way we can do this, is by doing what we love and thinking beautiful thoughts of what makes us happy.

FEEL Great friends. Ryan

Bus ride and reality

Posted on by webadmin

 I’ve been back in western society for about three weeks after experiencing the most adventurous, emotional and happy time of my life in Southeast Asia. Today I humbled myself and took the bus. Going back a few years just the thought of taking the bus wouldn’t have even crossed my mind. My mind was too wrapped up in what I was surrounded in the material world. But as I looked at the faces on the bus today, it was just people who are all the same in my mind going to a destination. Whilst in South East Asia I met so many people that were poverty stricken but had such a richness of spirit that it made me question my own life so much. I thought of all the places I’ve been physically and emotionally. What used to make me happy then has changed so much.

 Seeing things differently and interacting with people that had only the shirts on their back to offer in most cases has brought me to the deep understanding that happiness is a state of mind. I was happy on that bus today. I was happy living very modest in inexpensive living quarters while on my work vacation. This may sound funny, but I even look at nature in a different way. I just look at everything as being alive. by no means is it a bad thing to accumulate abundance in mass quantities, it’s how we treat what we have and what we can give back to this world that makes me ponder so many questions. Being over there in countries where things aren’t as readily accessible to people has made me want to slow down and just live in a constant state of appreciation and love for all planetary evolution. The way you think and look at your present reality is so important. We can never change our circumstances of lack until we change our thought patters and give with and open heart. We have to remember to give without expecting to receive anything in return, that’s when we will experience so much more inner and outer joy.

MUCH LOVE – Ryan

True Friends

Posted on by webadmin

 I awoke this morning just after 6am, and I walked outside and looked into the sky and started counting all the things that I’m grateful for, and always at the top of my list with health, love and laughter is FRIENDSHIPS! Over the years I’ve been so blessed to meet so many awesome people doing great things in their lives. It’s the ones that love me unconditionally and accept me for who I am, in whatever state of mind or mood I’m in that I keep so very close to me. When I was in prison 12 years ago I learned a lot about how special real friendships are, I was in a place where I felt very alone and disconnected at times to the outside world obviously. But there were those people that truly loved me despite my mistakes and shortcomings that would send me letters, magazines and pictures and do whatever they could to put a smile on my face. Friendship is something I don’t think any of us in this world should take lightly. We all need a few people that we can count on when we’re going through adversities and the bumpy roads at times. What a gift to have special people that truly care. My only suggestion is to chose your friends wisely. I love nothing more than when I see my friends succeed in life and other relationships. To all my friends that I’ve met over the years and to all my new ones I thank you…

The Big Question

Posted on by webadmin

 When we look at the word “LIFE” in the English dialect it means to most of us, “to be alive”. To “LIVE” is to experience our lives in many ways along our physical trail on planet earth. For some it’s to accumulate a fortune, for some it’s fame, others are content with the simplicity of living away from it all and being fully connected to nature, where in my opinion is where we all come from. So many mysteries and unsolved questions are yet to be answered. Science is proving through quantum physics and highly technological studies on the brain and body that we are a product of our thoughts and environment. Human habits are run basically on emotions. Hence why most of us get grumpy when we are hungry, tired when we don’t sleep and hurt over lost love affairs weather it be a damaged friendship or a loss of a lover.

 As I get older and more in touch with my inner self, I find solace that we can only build our outer world into an orderly fashion of our liking, only when we build our interior forces from within.  The so called “secret” to life then isn’t such a secret. The secret is to be in a constant state of knowing what one truly desires in life, relax and let the universe take care of the rest. Our brain and physical bodies become magnetized with the dominating thoughts that we feed it. So the secret to creation of our own intention is drawing from the sources that are available to us. The vast majority of us have been blessed with a brain that works. Paradoxically many of us just don’t work it like we have the ability too. Handing over plans with emotion is a sure fire way to achieving what you want. If you want love and happiness, and this is only my suggestion, wouldn’t it just make sense to saturate our thoughts with visions of love and hope, courage, faith and peace? I’m searching as well as I write this, but being a student of the mind and practicing the art of allowing positive energy no matter what the situation allows me to have acceptance even when things don’t go my way. Things don’t go our way for a reason, there’s always an underlying test so to speak. But if we have trust in the infinite, and always remember that the universe works for us and not against us, the possibilities are “infinite” which is endless.

To those of you that are searching, may all your answers and dreams come true.

LOVE – Ryan Phillips

Do what works for you..

 Don’t we all wish everyday was awesome!? I do!!! I intend on it that’s for sure…But we as human beings can get really wrapped up in our heads and bombarded with all kinds of “issues” weather it may pertain to business or relationships and of course finances and health. It’s a full time job ,trying not to try to hard to go with the flow. Trying to have that imaginary force field of judgment and opinions of others. We can meditate, breath deep, hit endless yoga classes, gyms and eat all the right foods all in an attempt to be happy, content and have peace of mind.

 We can read book after book about the “now”, the present moment and take all the positive pointers that spiritual leaders from the past and present throw at us to better our lives and be in a state of whatever we call happy. The truth in my mind, and this is obviously just a suggestion and opinion. Is that we truly have all the answers inside our inner being. So many of us practice all the positive suggestions that these leaders are throwing at us in the main stream society. But I really think that if we look deep inside ourselves and stay close to people that love us, we in most cases have all the “answers” inside us. Asking questions to people that have endured adversity is a great way to help find your way in this world. Just knowing that whatever is going on in your life, good or bad is in some shape or form happening for a reason.

I desire that all my friends who are searching find more peace in their own minds as I know we all struggle a lot of the time. Some more than others. One way to get into a better feeling place is to give some love to others. I find that helps me out a lot. A simple phone call to a friend and just let them know how special they are not only will help them feel better, but in turn make you grateful for that person in your life who cares.

Peace and Love friends -Ryan Phillips

ONENESS

Posted on by webadmin

  I’ve found myself in the past few nights before going to bed looking up into our universe and just pondering “what is”. The stars that are always constant. always in the same place at that time of day as our world revolves around the sun. No matter where you are in the world, you see the same stars at different times. Energy never shuts off. And in looking up into the sky I’ve been feeling this oneness and attachment to all that is, and of course all that surrounds us. It’s hard to put into words the power of the rolling waves and tides of the ocean. Gravity that suspends this little earth floating. Nothing is ever still until we make our minds still. Then when we come out of the stillness, if we allow ourselves to shut the thought force off for a few minutes if we’re lucky. We come to that deep inner understanding that we are all inner connected in some way shape or form. I find that though we all have hardships and fears, most of them are made up in our own mind. Our job as humans is to try and stay connected to just be! Just allow what is happening without trying to be in full control. Self control is the key to freedom of thought and inner peace. Assuming an attitude of humility and just intending good things for everyone and everything around us usually in most cases brings us harmony and into a closer vibration of love, which what is what we truly are.

Much Love -Ryan Phillips
