"Dance when you're broken open. Dance, if you've torn the bandage off." Positive affirmation. Rumi

"Dance when you're broken open. Dance, if you've torn the bandage off. Dance in the middle of the fighting.  Dance in your blood. Dance when you're perfectly free" Rumi.

Rumi teaches us the importance of being in touch with your inner soul. Sometimes when life is tough, something as simple as dancing can lift you from the depths of sadness. A simple act like dancing may make you start to feel better, at first you may only be pretending to feel better, putting on a show perhaps for those around you, but eventually you may start to feel better deep within you.
Rumi's book  Rumi's Little Book Of Life: The Garden of the Soul, the Heart, and the Spirit is a wonderfully uplifting read I would recommend to anyone. "This collection of mystical poetry focuses on one of life's core issues: coming to terms with the inner life. During the course of life, each of us is engaged on an inner journey. RUMI'S LITTLE BOOK OF LIFE is a guidebook for that journey. The poetry is a companion for those who consciously enter the inner world to explore the gardens within - out of the everyday 'world of dust'- through an ascending hierarchy that restores one's soul to the heart; the heart of the spirit; and in finding spirit, transcending all." http://www.amazon.co.uk

Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along. Rumi quote on love

May sparkly wings lift you to towards all your dreams, blessings, Alison

You were born with wings. Rumi positive affirmation. Free e-card

“You were born with potential.
You were born with goodness and trust. You were born with ideals and dreams. You were born with greatness.
You were born with wings.
You are not meant for crawling, so don't.
You have wings.
Learn to use them and fly.”

Rumi

This is a fabulous quote from the wonderful Rumi. I know I have said it before but I will say it again, I love the words that Rumi says, they have such a purity and clarity to them, he uses such beautiful language but makes his point in such a simple manner. 

You were born with wings, you may not see them but they are there. Beautiful shining magickal sparkly wings. Unlock your true potential and fly, fly higher than you ever dreamed that you could. You can, you can do it, you have it within you, you were born with greatness.

Look what happens with love like that. It lights up the sky.” Inspirational quote Rumi

“And still, after all this time, the Sun has never said to the Earth,
"You owe me."
Look what happens with love like that.
It lights up the sky.”

Rumi

Wow I just adore this quote. Unconditional love. Pure. Simple. To love someone unconditionally like a mother does her children. You love them no matter what they do and never expecting anything in return. It is an amazing thing. I hope that we all learn to love more like this, love others and love our Mother Earth, Gaia as she does us, as the Sun does  the Earth. As we do to the Sun, as the Moon does to us and we love the Moon.

Love light and blessings to you all, AstarteAlison

I started listening to the teachings of my Soul. Rumi spirituality quote

I have been a seeker and I still am, but I stopped asking the books and the stars. I started listening to the teachings of my Soul. Rumi

You are your best teacher, your soul knows the right way, you just need to listen to which way you should be turning and you will follow the best path for you.

Another of Rumi's quotes on the soul that I really like is "When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy" When you carry out an action that really comes from your soul you know it as it just feels 'right'

We are all seekers and there are answers to be found everywhere, I believe mother nature can provide us with a lot of the answers we might be seeking. Our inner selves or souls is where the real truths lie though, to really know ourselves and to get answers to the questions we are seeking we need to tap into that wonderful soul love and energy.
