Each day unfolds in ever increasing radiance. I am spun, over and over again in patterns new and forgotten. In joy and reverence I surrender to this breath. No longer needing to hold it, to control it, I simply pulse with the winds that blow. I am effortlessly carried in a dance so beautifully choreographed a fountain from my heart waters the ground I walk.
Never have I felt so clearly the bliss of letting go. Only when we release what we most desire, what we most yearn for, what holds us most strongly in the bonds of ego, will we know the meaning of life. I share with you what is my truth, because when you experience this knowing, this bliss, you wish to share it. This time is a jewel for you. It asks you to let go of everything: your dreams, your wishes, your possessions that no longer nourish you, your judgements, your criticisms, your angers, your blames, your fears. If you can permit yourself to unburden yourself in this way, then, now, you will fly into the most beautiful dream, place, reality that is yours to claim.
We are Earth. Our body is her body. By attuning to the seasons and honoring the experience of each through our bodies we become whole. Earth is the fullness of late summer; it is also the precious time that marks the transition from one season to the next, when we integrate fully the energies we have experienced, and prepare for what is to come. It is important now to take the time we need to return to balance and to honor this season between seasons. Wellness is living in harmony with Earth.
For me, the elements are intricately linked to the cosmic cycles of the sun and the moon. As the fall equinox approaches, and with it a new moon, I am feeling the pull to turn inward. This is feeling Earth. It is a powerful time to simply be, to honor everything that has been experienced and to allow our body, mind and soul to process and express its way through the breath, movement and rest, to stillness. From there we are born again into Metal.
It is a powerful time to be under the night sky, open to the dark moon and receive insight from deep within for the path of the unfolding heart. With the precious clarity Earth offers, we can then move into Metal with awareness and direction. We will intuitively know what needs cleansing, refining, purifying, and how to support ourselves with this process. Listen to your body, temple of your soul. Then celebrate by letting go of what is no longer needed, honoring the treasures that remain, and bringing in beautiful new visions of your self NOW. Dance your temple into the perfect reflection of the songs of your soul. Co-creating your dreams with those around you supports you in the process of transformation.
To my fellow swimmers:
here is a river flowing now very fast.
It is so great and swift,
that there are those who will be afraid,
who will try to hold on to the shore,
they are being torn apart and will suffer greatly.
Know that the river has its destination.
The elders say we must let go of the shore,
push off into the middle of the river,
and keep our heads above water.
And I say see who is there with you and celebrate.
At this time in history we are to take nothing personally,
least of all ourselves, for the moment we do,
our spiritual growth and journey come to a halt.
The time of the lone wolf is over.
Gather yourselves.
Banish the word struggle from your attitude and vocabulary.
All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration.
For we are the ones we have been waiting for.
-Hopi Elders Prophecy
Your body is a mandala. What you fear in the world, what you dislike in the world, in another, is a symbol for what you fear in yourself, dislike in yourself. What you love, find and treasure that in yourself. This is the time for Self-forgiveness. Self-love. It is the time to reclaim your power.
It is time to forgive yourself. It is time to take pride in who you are. Everything you have wished to change, everything you have judged yourself for, has never been wrong. You have always taken care of yourself in the best way you knew how to do. You have nothing to be ashamed of. Everything has unfolded perfectly, showing you at the right time what you needed to learn. Now open your eyes and appreciate how you have grown. Love yourself. Treasure yourself. Express yourself. Be yourself.
I am finding that sometimes you have to lose everything you have to find your personal power. Then you receive everything you have always dreamed of. Final surrender opens the door to so much grace.
There is a time for all things. Divine timing means that you are at peace, resonating in tune with the vibration of Creator, and from this place are naturally at the most perfect place, doing what most supports your highest potential. When you live according to Divine timing you let go of all anxiety, secure in the knowledge that what you most yearn for on a soul level will come, when it is the right time. Now especially is a time to focus on caring for yourself, loving yourself unconditionally, and taking the time each day to tune in and comfort yourself, in whatever way best does that – it may be yoga, a nap, a run, spending time outside, a hot bath – whatever. Now is the time to return again and again to your center, leave any worries, and trust that everything will unfold as it should. Have faith. Abundance and grace are here, so much of it. Trust.
