 Gosh what a journey life has been this past year. And it continues to morph beyond what we have known. I enthusiastically am settling in on many levels and I am sure others feel it too. Finally for the year, I have a new home and place to call my next chapter. From the planning to leave, the packing, the travel to find the next home, 5 months worth to now, in Alexander about 6 weeks and the exhale feels great.
I also feel the great learning we are all in. From that journey to the transformation with in that has occurred for us all. Today, I feel so much more hopeful and relaxed than in a long time. The energies feel good and really my inward view has shifted. So much of my life was built on solving, proving and pushing. Now, I feel like I don't have that as the unconscious reason for most everything I do. We all were raised to be useful, offer support and be needed. I came at life thinking if I am not useful, I am not seen. It has taken a bit to really get to the bottom of things. I am sure others have found some of their unconscious motivations too that no longer serve. In this whole journey, this transformation from Colorado to North Carolina, I learned that I really can make choices for myself in life and not depend on anything but what I want. This is new for me as many woman, we choose for our husbands, kids and others, family perhaps. I didn't really know what it meant to choose for me. In living where I do, I was the only one who had to feel good and notice how the land, the space, the place felt for just me. Not because I was close or needed or it was a good place for business or people. Just for me. This has been transforming. Watching how I engage, why I engage and what for has been interesting. The subconscious or unconscious running us and we don't know what these motives are. For love, for money, for accomplishment. None of these bad but to get to expressing just to be me and for no other reason has been enlightening. I felt if I wasn't useful, connection wouldn't last. So I pushed to be useful over just being myself. May sound small but it is a driving need that could often put me in crisis situation for I am useful there. I really have learned that my light energy, me in my playful spirit is already useful. That being myself is enough to draw in all I need. I never really understood that before. It may sound easy or simple if you already have learned this lesson but for me it has lightened my load tremendously. I feel so much lighter just knowing I don't have to offer support with teaching, words, deeds. Often just being somewhere in my true energy is enough. Gosh how uplifting is that. No longer choosing ideas by whether I add or clean up, or bring something or solve something. All those are good if it feels right but not as I better add or I am not really seen or acknowledged. This has been a good relaxing shift. I move slower, more aligned with how my body feels and how I feel. After a journey of many others and places, it is a welcoming relax. I can just be me, listen inward more and do what is called for by that. Not because it will bring me something. Because I can be me and that brings something already. I think many are catching a shift like this at this time. So I am really settling in! To myself, to my home, to my new area, to my own relaxing. So much less stress and moving from a more aligned internal dynamic than before. I love this time. I know the world is wacky but I really feel a big shift coming for us all that is good and will bring about a better world. Not that things won't be falling apart but there is a quiet underlaying of things coming together in perfect timing. Love to you all!

 I don't know if anyone else feels this but I feel a surge of wonder! Despite what is occurring on all levels outside, I feel a lightness in the air and within. It is this wonder inside, or enthusiasm, or just playful energy is how I can describe it. Realizations, aha moments, shifts in perspectives are happening. It feels very fun!
It is fall so in the seasonal look, we are letting go of things that no longer serve. There is a great freedom in this natural fall off. It happens every year on many levels but this year it feels like we are really stepping into a level of creation that has not existed before. It is a thread of joy and becoming that vibes or hums underneath. I am experiencing this wonder and delight bubbling up. I know this is the month of gratitude as well so things feel cozier anyway. All these seasonal, weather cycles affect us and then there is something magical in the air too. Does anyone feel it? Hard to put into words and it is far more of a feeling than a logic or thinking. Joy is just bubbling around if you sense it. It is an inward mode, a trusting or a collaboration with life that I never felt before. Perhaps when control is no longer an option, this letting go gives us freedom to morph and shift in ways we never considered. The world is spinning and the normal ways don't work so we kind of throw in the towel and realize, I can make my small space safe and joyous only and then power rolls in. I admit I have a mystical spin on all of life so I look for the magical things around me. It is really a connect to nature for me that pulls this outlook into being. Nature flows through it all and there is a harmony floating around us. When I tap into that natural harmony, it brings in inside me and then I feel this different rhythm than life wants me to ride at. It is slower, more playful, more vivid, more open to possibility. It expands the mind or beyond the mind to a sensing that mind can't explain. To me this is the embodiment that we are sensing into. I have never before felt so inside me and in my body. I do practice the deep breathes between things, hydrate more consciously and intentionally placing qualities of harmony, abundance, health and beauty into my water. The mind is mercurial where as the body is much slower. To tune into its brilliance you must be in the slower place feeling the sensations and guidance. It is very different than how I was raised to process and be. As winter unfolds for us in the northern hemisphere, allow the slow, soothing pace to really sink into you. Consider your spirit is indwelling further than we have ever experienced. Notice how you are nature, belong to this world bodily. You are connected to the earth and the stars and are a current of energy running through it. When you realize this not just in your mind but also in your body, life becomes more alive. You get your grounding energy from the earth like you are a tree rooted in. You are receiving energy from the stars and cosmos, a current that animates you. These two are to be connected and flowing. As you become the vessel in between, you realize you belong here, you are safe and you are the energy that flows and you can direct it. This new embodiment is occurring and you can play in it. It feels like magical flow. We are that. When we find that zero point in the heart, the combo of those two fields of energies blend here and then you can command them out your hands in your works or expression. That is the fun of co-creation! Ooooolala! Life is morphing inside and how intriguing it will be when we can really understand this current and work with it! Reach out for support in flow, in water, in collaboration. Here we go!! |
