Opening the Pathway to Yourself

Posted on June 10, 2011 by lovelylinda

Traveling with my oldest son to Colorado. We were sharing some of our recent aha’s. My son had watched a movie on netfliks called The Quantum Activist. He was excited how science and spirituality have joined paths. Science, especially quantum physics is proving what the mystics have been saying for thousands of years. In this program, a physicist talks about how in “being” we allow infinite possibilities to present themselves through our imagination. Once we take action and “do” we collapse the field into one “reality”. Therefore, the frenetic “doing” that has been the cultural norm, has kept us locked into one pattern. We have been enslaved by this doing to the point of living very narrow lives. I used to marvel at the way my world opened up when I took a vacation and was able to step out of the matrix for a time. New possibilities presented themselves. Joy and harmony seemed to be within reach.The recommendation was to become be-ers more and do-ers less. Abraham Hicks reinforces this concept with taking the emotional journey first, the imagination set free, then the action journey requires so much less.

A friend shared something that she had heard of Mother Teresa. Supposedly she had a policy with her initiates that for every hour they worked with the poor, they must spend two hours nurturing themselves. This is the idea that we can only give what overflows after we have topped up our own tank. We need time to connect with our Creator and receive Her/His gifts. As we do, we feel the joy of the love and naturally want to share it. But we have been deceived and taught that it is selfish to give to yourself. Selfish to sit and be. We must be productive to be of value. Now if that does not sound like an enslaving belief, I do not know what is! How many years, well 50 actually!, did I believe this lie. I am so grateful to have claimed my freedom and stepped out of this programming.

This photo spoke to me. There are so many obstacles in front of that doorway to our authentic self. Look at the one door open beyond the crane and post. Open yet it is boarded up. We not only have to make it to the open door of ourselves, we often have to dismantle the parts that remain closed. We do this by being! Being in our joy. Sitting and really seeing a flower. Watching the play of light through the leaves. Communing with a tree, a rock. Holding a baby in our arms. Seeing the starlight in our beloved’s eyes. We are gifted with so many opportunities, Mother Nature provides myriad openings.

You may feel that you have no free time to give to this. Yet, if you could see how time spent in your joy radiates so much more light than time spent doing “good” that is not filling your heart with joy. If your heart is not singing in the doing, then it is best to find what makes it sing. Let go of the programming that tells you that this is a way to serve, this is how I can help people. To live your joy is the greatest gift we can give those we love and those we do not know. The impact is wide and deep. And it feels good!!! I love the win win aspect of the Universe. We give to ourselves, and we gift others. We honor ourselves, and we honor others. We love ourselves and we are then able to love others. It all begins with ourselves! We have had it backwards for so long.

A deep breath of gratitude as I begin a new day of adventuring with my son who came in understanding how to “be”.

Finding our Balance

Posted on June 7, 2011 by lovelylinda

As I sat at the airport on my return from my East coast visit, I watched as people attempted to find purchase on these stools. The table had plugs for computers and iphones so it attracted users. The problem was that the stools were made for giants, folks at least six foot tall. It was interesting to see how every one’s feet were clawing at the air, trying to find a landing spot. Once they realized that there was none, they resorted to crossing their feet as the closest thing to comfort that they could find. Everyone

did the same thing, no one sat with their feet dangling separately. I thought of the ways we seek balance in our bodies and our lives. These poorly designed stools were forcing folks to find comfort in their own bodies by anchoring through their feet as best they could. It demonstrated to me how intuitively, we seek balance. We seek groundedness and connection with the earth. We are not comfortable hanging in space yet that is exactly what the new energies of this incredible summer, are like. We can no longer rest our feet comfortably on many of our former beliefs, values, ideas, or truths. New ideas are springing forth, as much of the old ways are crumbling around us. Outer security is a thing of the past as we experience weather changes, economic turmoil and unrest around the world.

We are challenged to find a way to perch in these new times. First comes the frantic scrambling as we search for the old base to rest on. Once we discover that it is gone, we look around to see how others are coping. We adopt the folding of the feet as a measure of calm, feeling awkward and uncomfortable but not as panicked. This way will not be sustainable for long but it gets us through to the next.

A giant of a man took the stool in front of me. His feet easily rested on the floor and he radiated calm and stability. I saw that he was a wayshower of sorts as we are to grow and expand in order to be comfortable in these new energies. Our physical vessels may not grow (and then again, they may!) yet our spirits are being called to expand into who we really are. We are being asked to allow our I AM presence to come fully into this body and take the reins. I invite mine, dear Sophia, to sit in the driver’s seat of my heart each day. I speak with my ego, Henry and remind him that he has retired and may rest in the back seat. He occasionally does the typical backseat driver bit and calls out directions but Sophia and I smile and proceed. We gently remind him that he is no longer in charge and should sit back and enjoy the scenery. He has earned his retirement and we are grateful to him for getting us this far on the journey.

So, it is a time of finding a sense of comfortableness within the changing world around us. Being ok with the unknown. Moving to embrace the unknown and trusting that new ways of balance are being discovered.

This is a Japanese garden that I visited. Such a sense of peace prevailed as I took in the scenery. Balance was evident as the carefully planned landscape enfolded me in a quiet embrace. All the elements in harmony, colors, textures, water, earth, and sky. Manmade structures blended in with the whole.

Today I seek to blend my body. my mind, my heart and soul and sing that note of harmony. I add in the structures of my life and know that beauty prevails. I am filled with gratitude to have moved beyond the leg scrambling for purchase stage. I expand into my being and discover that I can rest my feet firmly on the ground for the moment. And the moment is all that there is.

Opening to Our Divinity

Posted on May 31, 2011 by lovelylinda

I love peonies and was delighted to visit a display of dozens of varieties that I had never seen. I was amazed as I peered inside a few, at the vibrant colors that resided therein. So much beauty. The petals enfolded the inner beauty and it took some probing to uncover the lime green stamens, coral filaments, deep dark centers that were hidden inside. I laughed with delight at the amazing colors and textures swirling within. I felt doubly gifted as I enjoyed the richness and softness of the outer petals as well as the beauty that lay deep within. And of course, the lovely fragrance that filled the air.

The peonies seemed to be a metaphor for the process of uncovering our divinity. It takes gentle probing and a desire to go beyond the surface presented to us. Fortunately we are in a time of flowering as humans and we can align ourselves with this divine timing as the flowers do. We are in the spring time of our lives. As our petals softly open, our beauty begins to be seen by those around us. As we accept the first flowering of our own beauty, we are lead on to discover deeper levels. We can do this so gently by allowing our essence to expand.

I held space for a healing recently with a dear friend. Another friend was talking her through it and giving the visuals of what was happening. She asked my friend to expand her essence, to let herself shine fully. Take a deep breath right now and feel yourself fill up with yourself. It is a lovely experience! Drink in your essence, let yourself become the sun that you are. Feel your flowering. Unfurl those delicate petals. As this happened, the issue that had been holding my friend back, appeared as a vine growing around her. As she expanded, the vine began to loosen its tendrils. Gently, oh so gently, they began to fall away. I held the image of my friend’s beauty firmly in my heart and watched as the vine completely let go from every part of her. She was free to radiate her essence out to the world without the former constriction.

This spoke deeply to me as I could see the importance of this in the new energies. Much is coming up to be released in all of us. Fears of every sort, old pains and heartaches, relationship woes, financial concerns, anxieties, you name it; it is coming to the surface. Our patterning is to contract, to resist these seeming unpleasant feelings. But the contraction only tightens the vines hold. Or if you think of it as the flower, the petals close and the inner beauty as well as much of the outer beauty, is lost to sight. By expanding your own essence, breathing deeply into the feelings, and allowing them to pass on through you without attaching to them, they move readily away. As the flower opens its petals, you can sometimes see the hard seed covering still partially attached. The opening, pushes the covering off and it drops away. So as we open ourselves to everything that appears in our lives, our petals will unfurl and our beauty will begin to be seen by ourselves and others. Our burdens drop away and we begin to breathe in the sweetness of our essence.

The more we desire the flowering, the more we will be gifted with. The universe lines up all that is needed for the next step, the further flowering. It is a divine dance as we are witnessing the beautiful flowers that we are. Such variety! Such colors and fragrances! Each unique and so filled with light. It is such a delight to witness the unfurling of the soft petals. Become the flower that you are. Open to your divinity and breathe deeply of your sweet perfume. It is as easy as a breath and as soft as a sigh. You are so beautiful, I choose you for my bouquet today!

Emerging From the Confusion

Posted on May 30, 2011 by lovelylinda

This was a beautiful willow sculpture at the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens which I recently visited with my aunt. There are layers and layers of branches that have been intertwined into lovely, lyrical sculptural forms. I love the organic nature of these works of art and the way that they sit in the landscape like nests of some unknown creature. I feel as though they could be my nest. As I peeked out of one of the openings and my aunt caught my image, it occurred to me that I have recently emerged from a tangled, jumbled time of criss-crossing paths and intertwining timelines to land in this present moment. I have traveled the four directions of Canada and the USA with no real knowing other than tuning in daily to the call of Spirit. I could not articulate what I was doing though I knew that it was mine to do. Mostly it was being and driving! Lots of driving in my dear Maxie, she of the rainbow light.

I am emerging into a clearing, an opening within myself that offers an overview of my soul’s journeying. These past two weeks have provided me with a deeper knowing of my path and its relation to the whole. I have been gifted with the knowledge of my mission. I know that this is the time that I came for. I had been telling everyone that it took 55 years but now I am at the juncture of my soul’s main thrust for this embodiment. I felt it before I knew it. Now the knowledge has come in to join the feeling and there is so much gratitude and awe. I am expanding and integrating this newness.

I returned to the West Coast last night and am resting with all that has occurred. My travel day yesterday was filled with profound blessings. The synchronicities that lined up just made me laugh. Of course, this person who I knew to start a conversation with, turned out to hold a key for me. Of course, as I passed a phone call off to my friend to continue with another while I said my goodbyes, healings occurred with the others. It was a day that flowed with beauty.

Now today I am resting and integrating. Knowing that the next steps will be coming to point me on my way. I know that there is movement afoot and perhaps quite a bit of it again. I have been told of a land far away where I am to reside. I feel only acceptance and peace. There is nothing for me to do. I do not have to go there now. I do not have to figure out how I will or any of the wheres. whens, whos. I am simply to flow with Spirit in love and gratitude. I have been given a partner of light to share my mission with. Not a romantic partner but a twining that strengthens and nourishes me. We are not to be together, we will be in opposite directions as we do our work. This does not dismay me, it simply is. I accept this and feel the joy of the coming together in spirit to do this work and the comfort of the connection that phones and email can bring. I am being gifted with all that I need for the task at hand. I trust that I will continue to expand as I need to in order to carry out this plan.

The biggest message has been that it will all be done in joy! There is to be no efforting, no pushing, pulling, lifting up. It is all new energy that moves so fluidly and I know how to use it! The time of magic and miracles that I have been expecting, knowing was to come, has arrived. I was a couple of years off this timeline but now all has lined up.

More and more of us will begin to be given these insights as to our new roles in this new earth. The next six week period will be one of immense change for our planet and our spirits. Our hearts are turning on and we are connecting with our Mother Earth and one another. What a time of rejoicing! I lay here on this couch and breathe deeply of the gift of this moment. I am so grateful to have made it here to be able to flow my love out into the world and to feel the beauty of your hearts, one with mine.

Espavo! (thank you for taking your power)

Moving Through the Gateway to More of Myself

Posted on May 24, 2011 by lovelylinda

It is an interesting thing in these times how we will be called to an event only to discover that the important nugget or aha for us, had little to do with the original idea of why we were there. I found this to be the case during my recent time in Virginia. The workshop was wonderful and I was so happy to remember the ways of working with the elements and the land. I felt expanded and renewed. Yet, that was not the reason that I came.

At one point during a break, I had to go and stand by myself under the trees. I was overcome with tears and emotion. Those of you who know me, know this to be a frequent experience for me. I am moved to tears so often these days as the beauty will hit me in such deep waves. I could feel that I was being asked to do something, I knew not what. But I could feel it coming and I did not feel big enough for it. I knew that I was being asked to hold more of myself, more of the light. I finally lay on the ground and prayed for assistance from my mother Earth and my angels and guides and my Mother/Father God. I surrendered my will and asked to be enough to carry out the task with grace. I called out to my special friends: Shiprock, the rock formation at the 4 Corners area of the USA that offered me its strength and balance last summer and a redwood tree that witnessed a commitment ceremony deep in its huge hollow trunk that I have reframed as a commitment to my highest self rather than to another. I spoke with my dear friend who had journeyed with me and she said, “Drop the container.” Oh, it was that simple. I was trying to expand this vessel and found it too small. I could not breathe myself big enough though I was trying! As soon as I heard her words, I was out of my body and expanding across the galaxies. OH! Yes, this is the way of it. Drop the vessel, drop the limitations, the old way of being. We are huge beings of light walking around in these small bodies. We can return at any moment to our true origins by intending it so. I saw that I was a star and could look down upon my world here with such tenderness for all of us. I could see our beauty shining so brightly. We look to the heavens and marvel at the luminosity of the stars. We are looking at ourselves! We are seeing our own beauty.

Late that night after folks had left, there remained the hosts, my friend and I. We were fortunate to be staying at their house for the weekend. The hosts stated that something needed to take place. Ah, this is why I was here and I knew that I was to be given the next step on my journey. A candle was lit, we sat on our cushions with our knees touching as we formed a circle with our four bodies. We all followed our breath into that space of connection to Source. We stepped back and allowed Spirit to come through as She/He wished. It was beautiful how quickly and completely, resonance was established. In an instant, the vibration found harmony and every cell in my being knew it. Channelings and visions came through and we were gifted with more knowing of who we were. It is hard to remember all that happened as there were so many layers. Our hosts are married and we saw how they married people to themselves in deeper ways in the work that they do. My friend and I were married on a level that was new. We are both female but in the new, we are not limited by gender or sexual persuasion. We are in oneness with one another in such deep ways, it is as if you are in love with everyone as yourself. You see everyone in you and yourself in everyone. You know that there is no division. It is difficult to put into our words but I gained an understanding of the unity consciousness that we are moving into. There is such a sense of fullness, completeness. There is no need for anything outside of yourself. All is wonderful and to be enjoyed and appreciated but there is no need or yearning for someone or thing to add unto. I felt the river of God’s love pour through me and flow out in an endless stream. I am so filled in every minute and my greatest joy is to flow it out to all in my world. We are givers, it is our nature. There is nothing nor no one to hold onto. All flows and is given and received. A beautiful dance. I saw a beautiful chalice filled with an elixir of love that was created from all four of our essences. We all could drink from it. We all added to it and partook of it. We are co-creators with the Divine. We come into harmony and resonance with one another, allow the Divine to enter in and creation takes place.

I was told of this next step, how I am a connector, bringing together hearts of light and showing them the ways of honoring the earth and one another in this dance of life. Indonesia, Bali was mentioned as a place where I would “work”. I know how to connect folks to one another and their starry origins. It is time to create as I had been feeling so strongly of late. It is time for the new communities of light to be birthed. I felt an acceptance of my task and a knowing that I am ready for it. I was gifted with these others to support me on my journey as well as a wonderful cloak from the Creator. I sobbed at the signs of love from the Creator and laughed at some of what I was shown of myself and this task. We were all given pieces of what is next and how to more fully step into our roles.

The amazing thing for me is how natural it all felt. I am grateful to my ego for so graciously expanding into and merging with my higher self. Truly, the more of ourselves that we have access to, the less we vibrate in the realms of ego that wants to be seen and known. There is only this desire to give the love that so freely flows through us. To co-create with the Creator.

The peace of this is hard to describe but it is such a deep sigh. Yes, that is what it is. A sigh of homecoming at last. Yes, I will continue to evolve and grow as all life does, on and on. But there is this sense of having crossed some threshold, moved through a gateway into a new realm of light. This New Earth where the vibration supports you so, where the breathing is deep and the air so clear. There is no more lifting the darkness through my efforting. There is being the love that I am and shining it out into the world. There is a part of me that is amazed that this is taking place yet the rest of me simply knows I Am that I Am. And I AM Peace. I Am love. It is the most natural thing in the world.

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia. Every cell in me is smiling like the Buddha. So…I am here. Yes. Now I can truly begin in a new way as so much more of me has joined together in harmony. I am in the oneness and know that there is no going back. Hence the smile in my cells 🙂

That does not mean that I now know what I will be doing when I return to California and my car in a few days time. But it does mean that I know that the next steps will be shown. I can see an outline of this new landscape and am so ready to paint it in with beautiful colors. Oh, what a world we are creating!

New Ways of Creating

Posted on May 24, 2011 by lovelylinda

Time is such a fluid concept. Days pass and I am floating my way through them of late. I am on the East coast, enjoying time with a friend. We traveled to Virginia for a one day workshop on Sacred Temple Building. Yes, I flew across the country to attend this workshop as when I saw the email, I felt such a hit in my heart that I knew that it was important for me. I had a flash of doing this work in another lifetime and saw that my friend was one who worked with me. The hostess said that when she saw my name, she knew that my coming was important also. We all honored our knowing and opened ourselves to the magic. I truly love the way Spirit works in my life, leading me onward to more of myself all the time.

So here I am in the green, green loveliness of New Jersey and Virginia. The layer upon layer of greens has astounded me as my body has soaked up the moisture like a thirsty plant. Happy, happy! I have had walks in the woods where the mist rising off the ponds has made me feel that I am in the fairy realms.

The sacred temple building was conducted by Freddie Silva, a man who began drawing pyramids from the time he was three years old. He has visited thousands of sacred sites and made a lifetime study of the sacred geometry and elements that mark them. It was fun to witness the power of intention directed towards the elements and feel their response. Everything is about our intention and our sense of appreciation.

Over and over, I am receiving that lesson. Everything in our world is so grateful for attention. The plants, the flowers, the trees, the rocks, the water, the air we breathe. I am becoming so aware of how we all want to be seen and appreciated. Why would it be any different for the elements around us? It was fun to stand in a circle and call in the water to our circle from its underground places as well as the magnetic lines that flow around our earth. We each had brought a stone that we infused with our energy and love and asked it to hold the space for us. We created a hexagon site which is a shape that aids in learning. We created an opening to the East as it facilitates understanding. The power that vibrated in the space after we had called in and added our elements, was amazing. It was a highly energetic day as we shared so much with one another as well as with the land. Our ancestors had such a deep understanding of how to work with the elements of the earth and how to use the power of their intention for the highest good. We are reclaiming these gifts and expanding upon them.

I feel as though I am learning in a new way. A deep knowing comes up in me to meet what is before me. Information flows through my cells, is distilled in my heart and discernment takes place. It then flows out into the world of form. I can then begin to create. But I am co-creating as I am in relationship with the earth and all that resides on her, her different kingdoms, including others like myself. We are moving into a time of remembering how to co-create with one another, the elements and our Mother Earth. It is a beautiful feeling as I feel such a sense of wholeness and joy in this new energy. I like how it moves and I move with it. There is a deep resonance with it as the vibrations move through my body. The time of the mental realm ruling, has come to an end. We truly are learning how to think with our hearts.

A group of 22 ordinary people who believed in the power of intent, was able to create a beautiful sacred space in the space of a day. We dismantled the space at the end of the day as it was created for our learning but we now know how to go out and create sacred spaces wherever we live in the world. We can do it in our living rooms as well as in the great outdoors. The important thing is the doing of it, as to be in such a space allows you to reconnect and access previously unknown parts of yourself. That is what the cathedrals and stone circles and crop circles are all about. We are invited back to com-union with ourselves and our Creator. I am so grateful to be remembering this once again. It is so simple and so profound. All is sacred. All is Holy. We truly can walk through our world in this way and by the power of our intention, make it so.

Mula Bandha and Criticisms

Posted on May 14, 2011 by lovelylinda

Last week, or sometime in the not too distant

past, I was with a friend enjoying the warmth of the hot springs where we were camping. She had an upsetting experience where someone gave her a series of unsolicited comments about the way that she walked. The person told her that she moved from her hips and not her spine or some such thing. He said that she needed to have rolfing or some type of adjustment. The comments left her in tears as she had been experiencing back pain and so it was a point of vulnerability that he touched on. He said it in such a way as to say, hey, you have a physical defect. My friend is an athlete and so her body awareness is far greater than most of us. As we talked through the incident a few things came to light.

One was to center and know that her body was perfect and she was in charge of any healing that she needed. She had just completed a half ironman event so evidently, her body worked quite well. Two was to know that this stranger had crossed a line by throwing out unsolicited personal comments. He somehow wanted to connect with her and chose that means. Third was recognizing how the comments had hit a place of vulnerability and therefore triggered her own concerns. Fourth was to realize that she had allowed his comments to go right in and collapse her field. Fifth was the ability to gain a higher perspective and learn from this encounter.

My friend went from tears to laughter as she recalled a saying that her yoga teacher had taught during her teacher training. One of the key points in yoga is to hold your mula bandha ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mula_Bandha) engaged during the postures. It is: A posture where the body from the anus to the navel is contracted and lifted up and towards the spine. this is the grounding posture that holds the prana or life force in your body. Her teacher told them that you carry a field around yourself at all times. That field can be collapsed by others or yourself. He taught them to hold their field intact at all times. To let others’ words wash over them without affecting their field. His mantra for this was:

Mula bandha, mula bandha, thank you!

He suggested that when someone said something hurtful or unkind or simply unconscious, to say this mantra internally or out loud to the person while pulling in their mula bandha which is a way to reset and affirm your field. Literally pulling into your core, strengthening your essence. And then thanking the person for the reminder to feel and fortify your own field as well as reminding yourself that nothing can harm your field unless you allow it.

Mula bandha, mula bandha, thank you! We practiced saying that over and over and laughing after we said it. How funny that someone would throw out random personal comments! Ha, how silly of them. It is nothing to me. We started saying ridiculous things to one another and practiced our response: “Your nose it too big.” Mula bandha, mula bandha, thank you! and then a laugh. 🙂

It was fun to take that breath in, pull our cores in and feel the strengthening of that. To see that no one’s words need have power over us. They are simply someone’s idea of something. Ha! We have a choice to accept them or reject them or simply laugh at them. We can brush them away like a pesky fly.

These two figures that I saw at the art museum reminded me of the old way we had to armor ourselves and hold our stance in readiness of attack. In the new way, we know that we do not need to arm ourselves outwardly. We can inwardly set our energy field and go about our days knowing who we are. We do not have to allow anyone to define us by their words. Words do have power and can do great harm. How often have we allowed some comment made by another to replay its poison in our head over and over. Why would we choose pain by allowing those words to hurt us? So this was also a reminder to speak with love and kindness and to make our words ones that ennoble rather than tear down. We are our brothers’ keepers and we can use our words to add to the love and gentleness of our world.

And if you someone who does not understand this happens to cross your path today, remember to say and act on the mantra:

Mula bandha, mula bandha, thank you!

Smile, laugh and walk away.

The Open Heart

Posted on May 14, 2011 by lovelylinda

This statue of Saint Francis was standing in the garden at the Santa Barbara Mission. You can see that it has weathered in the elements. I was caught by the way his chest has rotted away. To me it spoke of his heart which was so beautiful and open. He did not shield it nor protect it but left it open to all the elements. He faced much criticism in his lifetime from his family and friends who did not understand his chosen path. I could feel such a resonance with him. He opened his heart so wide to the people and animals around him. Now he can shelter the birds that he so loved. They can actually find a space to land in his heart.

I want my heart to be that open and sheltering. I want to see everyone through the eyes of compassion and love. I want my love to flow in a stream that never ends. At times, I feel my heart afire with love for everyone and everything. I can feel my heart light turn on when I sink into its beauty and light. It is a physical sensation, almost a burning pain that allows me to feel love ever deeper. Oh, Saint Francis guide my steps. Let everything and everyone feel the love of our Mother/Father God flow through me. Let my heart come undone. Help me to expose it openly, to stand naked before the world with it blazing bright with your light. There is only love.

I think the shattering of our hearts, the bruises and arrows we have endured are what open it ever wider. How did Saint Francis get a heart that was dug open to the world? His feet did not wear out, nor his hands nor arms. No, his heart is what was worn to the point of disappearing, to creating a cavity within that could now hold life physically as well as emotionally and spiritually. We are in the heart time. We are learning to think with our hearts. Trust with our hearts, trust our own hearts. We are expanding beyond personal love into the realms of unconditional love like our Mother/Father holds for us. We are being asked to come up higher and the pathway is through our hearts.

I am grateful for this statue of Saint Francis that has given me another clue. He is my guide this day, on the path to that heart space.

Clearing a Path

Posted on May 13, 2011 by lovelylinda

Yesterday I spent time clearing the pathway next to the cottage that my friends are so graciously hosting me in. It was rewarding on so many levels. First there was the delight that I felt energy moving through my body that wanted to be used. Hurrah! Second, I was able to breathe in the beauty of the trees, the sun-dappled shade, the birds singing and touching the earth so tangibly. Third, the path was one that my youngest son had been hired to relay years ago (don’t you love friends who support your children!) It was fun to see how well it had held up, only lifting in a couple of spots where the tree roots had grown larger. Fourth, by clearing the plants from the edges, it framed the remaining spaces in such a way that their beauty was more clearly evident.

As I did the final sweep to clear it of all the leaves and debris, I felt an ease in my heart. It seemed to show me a way forward in my life. As we release clutter, belongings, relationships, beliefs, values, ways of doing and being in the world that no longer serve us; our souls can take a deeper breath. We are in a time of great releasing. The path helped me to clearly see how the pruning back of things in my life can be whatever I choose. I can see it as a painful letting go and clearing or I can see it as an opening and release. It is all perspective! More and more, that becomes clear to me as I can see so many different perspectives in a given situation.

Having cleared this path, I can walk more freely down it. There is space to wheel a wheelbarrow or skip to my heart’s content. My arms can swing higher and wider as I step and my heart feels the joy of the openness. This path is inviting me to clear everything in my life that does not align with this new Linda. The changes are day to day. I find my sense of time dissolving as I live more and more in each moment. I am bringing more of me to the moments and delighting in all that I find.

I am off to clear another path today. May your day find you clearing something that allows greater access for more of your beauty to shine forth. You are so beautiful! I pray today that each person on this planet, awakens to their own beauty. In doing so, we can change our world.

Nature shows us the way

Looking at this beautiful lotus blossom, I had a discussion with an acquaintance about how nature never holds back from giving all. This blossom opened fully into her beauty, not worrying about whether someone would be there to see and admire her in her moment of glory. Not concerned if she liked the one who was admiring her or not. Not closing up at the approach of one whose vibration she did not resonate with. Not fearing being touched, not fearing fish nibbling her roots nor turning away birds or insects from sipping her nectar. The glory of blossoming is not the climax but rather a part of the continuum of growth, of giving, of expanding. Nature understands the necessity of the cycles of expansion and contraction, growth and decay, opening to the sun and closing to the wane of day. Some flowers open to the sun, others to the light of the moon. Each is coded to bring its beauty forth in divine timing.

I am feeling this message so deeply. To shine my light in every moment, to cherish my path whether I am in the moment of ragged growth or radiant blossoming. To trust so deeply in divine timing that I KNOW without a shadow of a doubt that my gifts are spreading into the world as they should. Knowing that I am enough in each moment. Having the courage and fearlessness to express all of me in each moment. Allowing my essence to shine brightly to all around me. Knowing that I am coded to blossom, to expand and grow. Feeling the ease and joy of that knowing permeate my being. Turning my heart light on to its full luminosity. Let it shine, oh let it shine. Breathing deep and flowing forth with all that is here to be expressed today.
