Mercy

In Soul by Melani Marx

Start where you are.   Do it now. Not in ten feet or twenty. Now. This very moment.   Call yourself back to yourself. Listen to your tender parts. Hear what they have to tell you. The treasure and riches they have to share.   Do not turn away from your own nakedness. Be a rock, a tree, a loving …

I Used to Believe…

In Soul by Melani Marx

I used to believe that I was unlovable. I was unimportant and that what I did didn’t matter much. That at the most basic level I was flawed and wrong. Ugly. Untalented. Stupid. I believed I was too big, too loud and just plain – too much. I believed I needed to figure out how to be loveable, worthy, smart. Enough. …

No Part of You Left Behind

In Soul by Melani Marx

Be yourself. Open and receive all that you are – the darkness and the shame – the beautiful and the bright. They are equally precious and holy. Love starts with you. You cannot love another to any greater degree than you love and accept yourself. Neither can you truly receive love to any greater degree than how much you love …

Have Faith

In Soul by Melani Marx

“Right now things are moving very fast. What took years – decades – even multiple lifetimes to shift is now happening in the blink of an eye so-to-speak. This is such a fertile time and it can leave you a bit out of sorts, even beside yourself as so much shifts so rapidly inside – and out. It is so important …

Keep dancing. Yep! You heard me right.  Dancing. Dance with whatever is showing up right here – right now –  in this very moment. Be it boredom or frustration. Inspiration. Excitement. Fear or love. Anger or laughter. Silliness or disappointment. Whether you feel powerless or powerful – keep on dancing. Here’s the thing – when you turn on the music …

How To Get What You Want

In Courage, Soul, Spirit by Melani Marx

In order to have what you want you must to be willing to grow beyond who you are in this moment. You must grow beyond your ideas about who you are, the stories that have shaped you – your tired and worn out beliefs in limitation, not enough and lack. You must be willing to set aside every single one …

Holy Longing

In Soul, Spirit by Melani Marx

You think what you do must be brilliant. Ordinary is just fine. Every-day is good. There is nothing to strive for. No “where” to arrive to. This moment is everything. Let yourself sink into the depths of your being – the Love that you are. Let quiet Mercy enfold you. Let yourself rest in that today, dear one. Allow tears …

It Doesn’t Make You Bad

In Celebration, Soul by Melani Marx

It’s OK to be human. To feel sad. Scared. Angry. To feel uncertain. Paralyzed. Tired. Jittery. Antsy. This is all part of life. It doesn’t make you bad, wrong or un-wholy. No matter what anyone has told you. It simply makes you human – just like the seven billion–some–other humans on the planet. Being human means that in one moment I can …

An Antidote to Fear and Judgement

In Courage, Soul by Melani Marx

I believe we are meant to bless each others lives – to BE a blessing. Merriam -Webster defines blessing this way – encouragement the act of words of one that blesses something that helps you or brings happiness a thing conducive to happiness or welfare. An act of blessing is a vehicle of love. It is an act of power. …
