This time of year is so beautiful! The awakening of all of nature surges us all with beautiful energy of becoming. Even despite the odd vibe of us all harboring in, nature continues to show us, this is a time to renew and come forward in a whole new way. Our lives are certainly different at this time. However, the conditions support us to really go inward, reflect on things and support us in bringing forward creative ways to shift our lives.

My birthday this year happens to fall on Easter Sunday. It is perfect for me this year for I moved to Colorado during this epidemic. All is new for me in a new town, a new state, a new environment.  I can feel the awakening of spring on so many levels. All things in life are different for me and it feels like a vacation. It is interesting for they say each moment is anew and being in this new place, I feel that so richly. Often we get caught in routine and a "groundhog day" feeling can occur. Yet none of us can feel that way this spring, for we are all experiencing the world in a new way.

I inspire you to really take this moment in time, this spirng 2020 to really awaken parts of yourself that will support your quthenticity. Many are get bored now, not sure what to do with all the busy chores done. We are so used to interacting with the world, doing so many things that can keep us busy. We can not longer do that in this time and I think it is good. I know I have rested more, getting used to the altitiude and oxygen level here and catching up on so many things that were put off as I got readu to move. 

I also am finding huge spaces of "what should I do now?" My list complete and there is this open time on my hands where I can actually just sit and wonder what to do next. It is a great time to just relax. Relax truly for there is nothing to deter us from doing that. The energy of the northeast before I left had slowed down. I would drive and really just take my time driving. The west has even a slower vibe. The roads have only a few cars and learning a new town is easy with nobody behind me in a rush. It feels good to get this space inside. This moment to wonder about what is next? Not only in that moment but in general. We may have thought these things for an hour or afternoon, but now our time can really sit in this space of what to do next.

I am finding many parts of me that never had time to express are coming forward. This great level of creatiity is around. My daughter and I created a you tube and podcast of the Magical Holistic Healing Arts. A project I always wanted to do to share with others modalities but there was no time. I also feel the relaxation of creativity. You can not be in creativity if you are stressed and busy. The creative space only comes when there is space. Often you are lost in time and it seems to not exist when you are in creativity. This time of year is considered the most creative time of year. Rebirht, resurrection, renewal happening all around us. Life is awakening from it's sleep with incredible beauty showing up around us. This is the great surge of creation!

I am also finding this swirling inside myself. It is the only way I can describe it. I am entering spaces that I have not visited in a long time. Really getting a moment to remeet myself in a way. We become these beings over time that has habits and patterns, we label ourselves as on time or behind, organized or not, shy or outgoing. I am finding things inside that don't fit those old labels. Being in a new place, I have no history here. No one knows me as this or that. Whenever I met someone it is new in that moment. I know nothing of them other than what I am experiencing of them and they the same for me. It is a wonderful feeling of presence that I didn't really notice living in the town I grew up. 

Swirling inside yes. Going into the crevices of Lyn that I have never felt time or perhaps interest in inhabiting. It is very freeing and quite fun. So many pieces of me that I am and never investigates. it is intriguing to me to get to know myself in such a way. Usually we are learning of others but at this time, we are learning of ourselves for we can. We can face our boredom, our annoyance, our irritation of this situation. Our fear of not knowing. Our panic and anxiety of when will I get back to life as I knew it. Our joy of being able to just do nothing. Our peace of being able to sit and look at the birds or be in nature and truly have the moment to get lost in it. It is a very interesting swirling.

My life will never be the same. I no longer will hang in the nature places or see the daily people I did. It is a full on rebirth for me. I imagine if I was still in PA. life would be very different too. We can't grab lunch or drink with those we love. We have to chat, text, facetime or zoom others. However I am sure neigbors and those who live close will get moments of relationship that may not of before. Local stores and the clerks we see become our new visits with others. There are so many shifts in how we live that I find exciting.  I am at an air bnb and getting to know the owner in a way perhaps I would not of before. I am cleaning up her garden and supporting the beautiful yard for spring. If we didn't have this lock down, I would of been out investigating the town and classes about rather than gardening in the yard. 

Relationships have a whole new meaning now. How we feel about our family and being harbored in with them 24/7. Human contact or interaction has changed. When your are out some people fully in fear, others happy to be interacting with other humans. A very interesting dynamic of social interaction. I find it really fascinating that I even have time to notice or contemplate all this. A renewal on all levels. So perfect as the earth is sharing it's new beauty. We can find new beauty in all life.

I also welcome all the emotions that arise. I a bit advocate of our emotional nature really being used as the guidance it is. We get the time to really let them come forward and wash up and out. They show us the quality of our thinking even if we don't notice we are thinking. It is the perfect purge of spring like getting rid of the old leaves and stalks from plants. Our emotions are a barometer of ourselves. We actually have the time to really feel them. Letting go as we watch them pass through. A grand cleansing of self only to find what we really feel about things. A magical process this year of really knwoing ourselves.

Blessing during this time that we are really getting an opportunity to reorder ourselves on all levels. There is discomfort as well as joy as we walk through this spring. I inspire you to find the joy in all this or atleast the rebirth as a stepping stone to yourself. Unknown to us all this situation yet life really is an unknown. It is supposed to be creative each moment. Perhaps we get to remember and really feel that relaxed, creative energy in a way we never could of before. I am using this renewal time to birth a Lyn that has never been before. Each plant and each tree has never blossomed exactly the same each spring. It is all new matter and cells creatied by the winter and the nutruients the plant has mixed together. We are truly the same. Never have we been in this moment before, this spring before, this lock dwon beofre. What wonder can we get from it? 

I am truly reawakening to myself as I am now in this moment. I hoep you all are doing the same. The odd, the ugly, the beautiful and creative is all here in this moment. How will you use this for greater joy and happiness? Let us all revel in this new learning. Who knows what wonder and delgiht will come of it! We always seem to make it through whatever has been before so we will now. The question is how will we be reborn from it all? What good will come from it? What can rest, relaxation, renewal do for our lives? We are finidng that out!

​Great love to you this spring!!

At each stage in life we evolve our  mix of  gifts. It is part of our growth, wisdom and path to mastery. Finding myself so free in Colorado for this next chapter, I am inspired to share how we find greater vitality when we celebrate ourselves! I think that was the blessing of the Himalayan Masters visit. I learned about my energy field, how to share that with others, how to feed, move and nourish my body and shift stress energy to power. Most importantly though, was the gift of learning my feminine body as different than a man's. That starts with celebrating yourself.

We truly don't celebrate ourselves enough! We celebrate others so fully and know the power it has. Yet we don't savor, revel or sit in OUR feel good moments. We whip past them onto the next task forgetting the deliciousness of accomplishment. We don't care for our sacred body as we do others, love on it and thank it for all it does. We push it, don't listen to it's call for down time and end up with a myriad of weakness and ails. All because we just don't really appreciate ourselves and all we do. It is a rat race of comparing, measuring our ideas against some ghosted desires that aren't even ours. It is truly a wonder we even survive this abuse.

This nourishing aspect towards ourselves is the key to our health. Men want competition, power, strength and endurance. Woman operate differently just by their very biology. Yes, we can do those things but extended periods of pushing is not a woman's way. We magnetize, draw to us, invite, intrigue, allure, attract. Very different energy power! One reaches out, the another draws in. It is the opposite. When we begin to honor our femininity and celebrate that power differently, we will excel in our health. Science is coming around to  it. 

Have fun, sink into our wonder and really feel good about ourselves. We all do so much for many running our lives.In this time of lock down, we really get to hear ourselves. We get to feel feelings that we are too busy to feel normally. Manage tasks we were too busy to handle  It is such a gift of self we get to experience in this moment. In respite, woman heal and connect to themselves, they nest. Our cycle creates that way for our own inward time monthly. Woman work on cycle and we need  to understand it. Our body has a natural, healthy need to step away and nourish itself. Go through the lower emotional body in order to cleanse and rebirth. This cycle is a celebration of life and how it becomes into being. We get in rhythm with our femininity.

When we are caring for others, we can still do it all when we understand how the flow goes. Being able to take our time is key. We have miraculous skills of completion. Our ability to multitask is powerful and we are designed that way.  We need to revel in these gifts!  We have different hormones and organs. It will take different  use of energy to create a balance in our body.  

Nourishing energy is fed by nourishing energy. It is a never ending well around us.  As we celebrate, fill and acknowledge ourselves in nourishment as we do others, we find an unlimited  supply available to us. This creative, nourishing energy is part of the magic we command as woman. It is our gift of giving life that taps us into the greater universal system of creating naturally. Through celebrating ourselves, taking time to know ourselves and feed ourselves what we need, we command a power greater than our own well of energy.

 We don't have to shift our natural gift of nourishing, just find a way to give more to ourselves so we may be included in our efforts. Notice how much you are valued and do even if others don't show it. The world would collapse without the web of woman running it. 

​And if in this time, you are worried about the future, consider all the things you worried about have eventually worked out. I imagine our worries at this time will also work out. We have come this far and seems we will continue to be okay as we always are. Maybe not as we planned or wanted, but we get through just the same. Woman naturally know that and hold the space for that to be.
 

It's time to really begin a new spring of celebrating yourself. It may feel weird at first. Our training of how silly it is or how perhaps we could judge it as egotistical is interesting to watch. It is none of that. It is self esteem, self love and confidence. If we don't find joy in ourselves, we can't really receive it fully from others. 

If you have areas that you want to be better, joyfully work on them. No one is really judging you but you. No one cares much and if they do, they just aren't of your tribe. It is good for us to be different and celebrate in that. Your magic that makes you you, can't come out if you are acting like another. We need your greatness fully at this time. What ever your gift, it is divinely inspired and needed as it is. No fluff or sharpening needs to be added.

 Take the down time to celebrate who we are. Own it, know it and find the lil quirks that make you yourself. So much self development about changing ourselves. My schools were always about celebrating what you are that is good. From there the  unnecessary falls away.  The good revels further and becomes more. The law of energy to use and inspire yourself!! This is the natural woman's way. To see the beauty in all things and celebrate it!

,The other day I learned a perspective on two energies that really has shifted my point of view! I did my own birthday Goddess Card reading for inspiration towards the year.  In the reading, I got the card of Sekmet, an Egyptian Goddess of Anger and Rage as well as Bast, the Egyptian Goddess of Play. In reviewing the history, they were considered the two aspects of the Sun God. At some point they appeared the same and things evolved to two aspects of the Sun depending on where you reference them. The history I chose to integrate was of  Amy Sophia Marashinsky in her Goddess Oracle deck.

This struck me as interesting for never have I heard the Sun, the power energy of our world, put forth as having two aspects listed as anger and play. It really intrigued me to digest this. It expanded me to look at at anger as the opposite energetic of  play. Yet when I think of having so much fun and the power it exudes and consider anger with its power, I could see how these are two ends of the pendulum.

As it was described through this Egyptian lore, Play is nourishing, the life giving aspect and Anger is the destructive, protective  aspect of Sun energy.  This was beautiful to me. Never had I heard it put quite that way. It supported me to embrace anger not in a negative way as we often do. We seem to have many judgments on anger, getting angry not so supported and often we have seen very destructive aspects of anger. We can beat ourselves up for being angry or mean. Seeing it as a good use of power, as a viable way to express this life giving energy was curious considering our upbringing. There are definitely times when anger is important and a message to move, stop something or boundary yourself for what is going on is not nourishing!

 Anger is just an expression or guide to us from our emotional nature that signals destruction is here. Something needs to end, be left behind or is not working for our highest good. It then becomes such a guiding, inspiring emotion! It is indicating what is not working. Rather then feel bad that we expressed it, we can embrace it's presence as a message to get rid of something or move in another direction. Perhaps just boundary and stop what is occurring for it is not working
for your well being.

More exciting was the life giving aspect of this Sun power is PLAY! That I found most inspiring! The highest nourishment comes from play!! How cool is that? And opposite anger? Wow!
Can we use the destructive energy of anger within to be cleared by playing?
I like that idea. I like that if we find anger within we can transmute it to nourishing energy by playing.

It gave me a whole new spin on humor as well. How often have we been in situations where anger was about and  started giggling a bit at the insanity of a fight? it is almost as though our body being knows how to shift this energy to get us more present. Or even after a fight, you consider what occurred and you laugh for it was funny how you acted! Not that this happens always but it does. When sharing the story, we begin to laugh at the craziness that occurs with anger. How interesting is that?

I found clearly the message in these two cards in a new way. It softened the judgment of anger as well. It gave it a clear purpose and a way to understand this emotion that many stuff down or send out powerfully. All that is occurring is one is using the life giving energy as destructive
and rightly so for they are not feeling nourished or honored in the situation that is occurring. 

Better yet is the power given to play!! So often I have been told to grow up, stop being so silly and get serious! Yet play is the highest nourishing power!! So being playful, silly, fun and inspiring is great nourishment and the top expression of Sun energy. That is the greatest news to me
on this Easter Sunday that also happens to be my birthday this year!

It makes sense when I see nature. The awakening of the plants, the blooms on the fruit trees and magnolias. Playfully they greet us in beauty of returning to life. The fruit, the high expression of the plant kingdom has this vibration of delight, beauty and inspiration that feels like play. Nature looks like she is playing often. When you see the animals frolic or the butterflies flit around.
The babbling of a creek or the rush of a waterfall, all have this playful feeling.
We feel like wondrous children often when in nature.
Curious, enlivened, delighted and fully  present. 

Very interesting indeed! That is why I love the lore, mythology and philosophies of story telling. Many ways of joyous living were passed through oral tradition in story. It wasn't necessarily the characters for they represented aspects, ideas, philosophies.
Perhaps for us to remember these things.

I also find it quite interesting that both these Goddesses are depicted in the form of cats!
Sekmet is a angry looking lion and Bast a cat of play! I will leave you with the poem on Bast
for it is the most inspiring words on how to heal with play!
Perfect for this time of being harbored in our homes!

Bast
Play
I swirl and twirl, I hide and seek, romping and ranging, funning and frolicking,
My opportunities for self-amusement are endless and the pleasure that it gives me makes me purrr.
Life challenges never stop me for I know how to whole myself with play!

As we all sit separated from each other, it seems the perfect time to be with ourselves and our loved ones. So many need a rest from the rat wheel race and here we are forced to stop. I think this is a very good thing for most of us. We are desperately in need of rest. Perhaps that is why so many have challenged immune systems. We are rushing far too much. It can be the perfect time to catch up on things. Perhaps read a book, spring clean or chat with those you haven't had time for, even play some board games. It can be a great time to take a nap, bath, cook something extended, bake, be with yourself. It is like a snow storm where we just can't go anywhere.

Perhaps it is causing many strife, fear, panic and worry. This may be a state you already where in and now it can seem gigantic. For once you can just notice how current that state is. You don't have to let it run you. You can notice, feel and pray or watch as it moves. We have made it this far and we will continue. Whatever your worry, things do work out somehow always. I have lived on the edge of great wonder or going down for many years so I know the feeling.

Despite being on the edge of breakdown or breakthrough, I continued to enjoy what life offered in ways of small things. What happened was "all worked out". I got in some tight situations yet as if I had an angel, something always or someone swooped in and supported me through whatever crisis I had. I used to feel bad or less  needing support. However, I learned so much about how me needing help, gave others opportunities to share and support. Many had never felt the power or joy of giving.  I "needing" was a gift to them to learn what they had to offer and the power of offering it The human heart grows when we help.

It is not quite how our world sees things. Trained that if we need support, need rest, need to break out we are in some lesser state. It simply is not true. I helped so many in my life and when I was in need others just seemed to show up like magic. I think in this time we may find more magic than at others. Many will support and help that can. Many will need to receive help. It is how it all works. We  feel better when we help and others who need it get support. 

During this down time, consider to care and support others around you. I know we are not to interact but do be sure those around you who many need, know you are there. Be the kind offering. If you need, ask for support. We are a great humanity and these kinds of epidemics offer us opportunity to show our kind, warm selves.

As a homeopath and connected to many healers,   I am not so concerned of contacting anything. If I do, this is a cold, flu virus and most of us will only see simple symptoms of flu. Many seem to of had it, didn't consider to get tested and recovered. It is important to be wise and cautious. Yet we can still be available to help others with soup, conversation, sharing items that may be out of stock, however it calls. 

With this down time there is alot of good things you can do. I am personally, going through spring cleaning as I am to move in the next few weeks. I am enjoying the peace of not having to do or go at a rash pace. I am resting, studying, investigating and enjoying myself. I have watched movies, taken naps and made soup. It is a good time to learn what nourishes you to feel calm and relaxed. 

We are all in this together. For me, it is a symptom of what I teach, not enough pleasure and play. So do these things that fill you with oxytocin. Helping others also does this. It is the elixir par excellent and it appears as there is not much else to be done. Slow down, sink into yourself, feel nourished and find the smile of getting off the wheel. 

Health, healing and prosperity to you all!

A practice that gets me through life to manage even the hardest of things. Often we get so caught up in our situations, relationships and problems. We circle them about, use our imagination to make them even larger and create emotional intensity. I understand there are issues in life and indeed they are hard. However, from one who as others has had to face and deal with quite large situations that I could tapple over, I have used this practice often and it works.

As many tools as we can gather to support our experience here is a key to a healthy, abundant life of flow. I imagine I have a wand that flows out incredible sparkles where ever I cast it. Seems silly yet I call it my blessing wand. When things get too large, I feel overwhelmed or confused, as soon as I can catch my breath, I use this wand in my imagination to bless whatever is occurring. I say it out loud if I can, at least in my mind, I bless the situation! Often it makes me giggle which will shift my panic energy. It also puts a positive thought and emotion onto the situation, person or problem I am having. 

Simple, magical and shifting in energy. This begins to relax your nervous system, bring in a lighter view and clarity to face the strife. When panic is alleviated, clearer options, ideas and ways to support you can come forward. I often do this as well when I feel good. Passing cars on the road, silently as I see people in public, a way to feel good for what I have and share this positivity into the world. 

Life is a play filled with drama, blessing and hardship. Always a perspective shift is how we get ourselves going forward again. It is worth using this simple, playful tool of magical support!

May you be blessed with all you need!

We all have  heard that the words we say to ourselves make a difference in our experience. We know this on a mental level. However, often our mind patterns still yip at us with these unkind things. So often we are flying through life and we really don't notice how we speak to ourselves. We all have shifted things here and there and then we forget about this ongoing work. 

Many had a hard year last year as did I. I found myself catching up with others and repeating  how challenged I was. Listening to others life and what was going on, I continually felt what a hard year it was.  It took me to mid January to feel like I was recovered somewhat from the exhaustion. I found myself thinking the year was starting slow, wanting to be inspired.  I keep resting until it bubbled up in me to take inspired action.  I would check in with myself and found I just wasn't too delighted about the slow regroup.

Suddenly yesterday I awoke and was beginning my day and thought, you keep telling yourself what a hard year you had that it is effecting how you are now. Just the thought of it, made me heavy and sluggish. A light bulb went off inside me that said, why don't you start saying life is easy and fun? In that moment I realized how I kept bringing in this sluggish, hard way by my chatter and recall of the previous year. I suddenly filled with energy!

This chatter we say to ourselves and others is far more powerful than we realize. As I decided to tell myself that life was fun and easy, a whole new world opened. Again, we all know that our words have power yet we don't realize just how much on a daily basis. Our mind rambles in its judgments and patterns and can really mess with us experiencing the world ! Far more than we want to admit. 

I inspire you to listen to yourself in this new year. What ever was before is past. Each morning you can call in the next thing in whatever form you want. The mind likes grooves and patterns. It is not to say that it is not truth but in subtle ways you must watch how it is reminiscing. No one wants to mingle in the challenging times but the mind is programmed too. Be watchful.  I know these things too, yet here I am sharing how it was lowering my vibe in a subtle way, speaking my old experience.

Keep clear and real with what you are experiencing and how you describe your world to yourself and others. If it is not happening the way you want, shift your perspectives, words. Call in what it is you desire easily by making a new mind pattern that chimes in. The world has shifted very quickly in the few days I have been letting the new idea run in my mind. Rather than running through what exhausted me which exhausts me in the present thinking about it, I am claiming a new reality. 

We are so powerful! We also have many moving parts so awareness is key. We have to be diligent in observing ourselves. When you have been in a challenge, you have created ways to get through. However, watch that they don't linger. Doing these emotional and mental check ins are invaluable. They can reset your entire disposition! I am enjoy this fun and easy life! It really is that simple!

Make sure you are creating a new year and not reliving the emotions and thoughts of a previous time! It is your responsibility. It is in your power to shift. Be very mindful for it is a subtle game this plane. Be alert. Claim what you want and notice the power of your words!
