Daily Emspirations by Rubin, Jay
Daily Emspirations is an anthology of channeled writings that was inspired originally by a need to uplift a friend during a troubled time in her life. The word "Emspiration" has the positive energetic affect of combining two powerful words, empower and inspire. These daily texts of uplifting words from me to her lead to the compilation of a "mailing list" of other kindred spirits that I felt a calling to touch with a kind gesture and a dose of positive energy to kick off their days. As this routine became a staple in my life and that of my circle, the suggestion was made to me that it would be beneficial for me to share what I gleaned from my Reiki infused writing sessions with a broader audience on social media. Initially, I was resistant, as I was concerned about attuning the message's vibration to a general frequency for mass consumption. The deeper I pondered the opportunity to make a real difference by paying forward the gifts bestowed upon me with all those who are open to receive, I was able to transcend my concern and post freely, thereby aligning my actions with my intent and desired results. Over a year of daily posts lead me to realize that I would be remiss if I were not to compile the body of the writings in the form of a book to share through other avenues. My primary desire has always been to impart what has been taught to me with not just my immediate cohort, but to create a pathway to help bring an understanding of universal mechanics to a larger audience to help lighten their earthly load and raise the collective vibration for us all. It has been my dream from a young age to make a lasting difference in the world. I know in my heart that these messages I have been asked to carry forward are part of my journey, and I am eternally grateful for the loving support that I received along the way that made it all possible!
Jay was born to this incarnation with a very specific
purpose as his life’s calling, and to be honest, he was
reluctant to return to Earth this time knowing what he did
about the early stages of the journey he was to undertake.
His otherworldly arrogance brought him back to a set
of parents that he felt only he could help; he was soon
proved to have bitten off more than he could chew.
From an early age, his plans were thwarted, as his
presence did not manifest the sense of harmony he had
expected in the family unit that his arrival created. He
and his mother never truly bonded. While his father was
a wonderful and nurturing caregiver, he was always up
to some shenanigans that left his mother wondering what
was really going on with their marriage. The energy in the
house was never stable; in fact, it was volatile.
Jay’s parents divorced when he was eight. This was a true
blessing in obvious retrospect, but the shock of coming
home from a summer trip between second and third
grade, visiting family in the countryside of Pennsylvania,
was life-changingly painful to say the least. Jay’s dad, the
only caregiver he had ever really known, drove off down
the street after a strange family barbeque to helping his
son settle back into his unexpected new life. Jay’s grandmother,
knowing what was in store for her
grandson when he returned to California, decided to
send her boy home with a pet to look out for him. Jay
brought back a Pennsylvanian kitten that was later
named Jefferson, who became his familiar and confidant.
This gesture by his grandmother was the first of many that
bolstered their relationship and heightened their bond,
while further dismissing what little connection there was
between Jay and his mother.
Jay’s mom knew that he needed some help to adjust, so
she gave him what may be the greatest gift of his life – she
took him to meditation classes where he learned how to
look inward for guidance and strength. This leg up that she
granted him was the beginning of his spiritual path and
calling to help others with the tools he amassed along the
way. He is forever grateful to her!
Through most of elementary school, Jay lived with his
mother in a state of benevolent neglect, seeing his father
on the occasional weekend. There was never any issue
with how it was all working out; Jay innately knew his
parents were doing the best they could with the tools they
had. The blessing that granted stability to Jay’s young life
was his “God-Family” who lived across the street. His best
friend and his family all but adopted Jay, teaching him the
dynamic of family, faith and connection.
Later in grade school and middle school, Jay bounced
between his parent’s two households. His dad had
remarried a young woman who did her best to augment
Jay’s dad’s ill attempts at parenting with her own brand of
authority that never truly resonated. All that said, Jay is still
friends with his stepmother today, and truly thankful for the
two siblings she brought into the world. Jay is very proud of
them both and fully accepting of the augmented role he
fills in their lives supplementing “Dad’s Way”.
Jay continued his meditation through high school and
college, fostering continued growth and education both
spiritually and intellectually. There was a long stretch where
Jay planned to be a lawyer, because that was what he
was told he was going to do with his life. At some point, the
realization happened that being an attorney would not
serve Jay’s highest and best purpose, so he opted to pass
on law school after he graduated from college.
Instead of law school, Jay went into business with his father.
You would think that all the red flags would have steered
him clear of his father’s dark web, but the allure of being
with his dad was too much to resist. Needless to say, the
life lessons learned were costly, as Jay saw the damage
his dad was really capable of inflicting on mind, body and
soul.
Now knowing well that his father’s path was dark, and his
mother was unable to lend any emotional support, he
made his own way carving a path by forging relationships,
building bridges and helping who he could along the
way.
Spirituality remained as the cornerstone of Jay’s
existence. There were times where it may not have been
in the forefront, but there was always a deep knowing that
there was more than what meets the eye, and something
much larger was in play looking out for his well-being.
Jay was blessed to meet his wife working at a summer
camp where he knew she was “the one” when he brushed
up against her the first time in a team-building exercise.
The nurturing dynamic they have built together over the
past 30 years is what Jay had in his mind’s eye when he
first came to Earth to help his parents. Sadly, Jay may not
have been able to help his parents in the way he felt he
was originally meant to, but their actions, and sometimes
inactions, have gifted the how-to, and how-not-to, that
continue to guide his path as Jay raises his own son into
the fine man he is becoming.
Jay has had the great honor to work with some wonderful
masters along the way, who have shared the attunements
that have transcended his experience to that of a Level
Three Reiki Practitioner, or Reiki Master. This is Jay’s true
calling; to heal and share the mechanics of the universe
with all he can touch.
Jay has resided in Malibu, California for 30 years with
his wife, Dana, where they raised their son, Tanner. Jay
augments his spiritual practice with the earthly grounding
of a physical workout routine that blends core focus,
resistance training, stair climbing and miles of daily
walking through state parks and beaches with yoga and
meditation to unite mind, body and soul.
