How to Experience Heaven on Earth

This morning I bit into a juicy summer peach and I immediately said to myself, this is heaven on earth. The simple act of eating fresh fruit picked from a tree within the season when it is ripe brings such pleasure to all five senses. As souls, we came here to earth to experience such sensations with our physical bodies - the sweet flavors on our tongues, the juice dripping down our chins, the summer sun bathing us in a golden, soothing, familiar light. These divine experiences should not be taken for granted. Savoring a summer peach is to remember we are all gods on a mission to explore the four main states of being during our brief time on earth - Love, Joy, Peace, and Freedom. When we embrace all four of these energies at once, that's when we can finally say, yep, our job here is done. We have created heaven on earth.

LOVE - The acceptance and caring for the well-being of everything in the universe, including every person, animal, plant, the earth, and especially the self because when we truly love ourselves, we see ourselves in everything around us, and therefore we wish no harm to others, only joy, peace, and freedom for all.

JOY - The feeling of great bliss, pleasure, and happiness (like eating a peach in summer, or laughing with children, or playing with pets).

PEACE - The absence of conflict, stress, and fear. A feeling of tranquility, balance, and calm. Breathing, being, and just chillin.

FREEDOM - The power to act, speak, think, and move as one wants without any limitation. This includes self-limiting beliefs that keep us from pursuing our goals and dreams, freedom from insecurity and doubt.

These are BIG concepts. We assume they are hard to maintain because most of us have only felt some of these things temporarily, if at all. But it is possible. It is ALL possible. We just forgot how to inhabit each state of being because we are distracted by all the lower and negative energies here on earth. And we believe the nonsense we are fed. Yes, it's challenging to be an earthling, but we signed up for this challenge, so don't give up on the game yet! If we all knew how powerful we truly are, experiencing love, joy, peace, and freedom would be as simple as eating a summer peach and savoring the moment as if nothing else mattered. Because nothing else matters.

If you could do one thing today that would bring you love, joy, peace, and freedom, what would it be? So go do it...now. And then do another thing tomorrow that will bring you the same sensations. Make that your goal every day and watch the world around you become heaven on earth.
