Universal Heart Energy

In looking at what needs to be done before my move I become short of breath. Breathe I tell myself. Nice long breaths. I can do this. Everything points to right timing and everything is as it should be so just relax. Yeah... I am doing my best.

I trance danced by myself in my living room this week. It was fabulous. I created a circle in the middle of the living room by rolling blankets up and making a circle with them. So I knew if my foot touched one of the blankets I had to move back into the middle. It worked quite well. When I journaled afterward it was very enlightening. I hadn't thought of Trance dance as being a daily practice as a form of meditation but that is exactly what I received from it. I also felt and saw how smoothly things can flow if I remember to stay in the moment, connected to the universal heart energy and centered in my body.

Universal heart energy is something that downloaded through me a couple of months ago. The message I recently received around it is that we need to use conscious boundaries to keep from being sucked into the chaos of group mind instead connecting to universal heart energy. From that I am more able to stay within compassion, seeing we are all one without feeling the overwhelming anxiety that is permeating society right now. If you feel strong anxiety and think it might not all be yours, breathe, find your center, and see your light beaming from your heart center out to the universal heart. See all the lights flowing from each person to the universal heart energy. See the light flowing into you, filling you, spilling out and surrounding you creating a cushion of loving light protecting you from outside influences yet still being connected through the heart. It helps me I hope it helps you as well.

Looking into the Shadow

A couple of years ago I kept hearing that I needed to explore and integrate my shadow. I had no clue what that really meant. I went in search through books and the internet to discover what I could. I found this great piece "The Long Bag We Drag Behind Us" by Robert Bly (A Little Book on the Shadow p.17-21). This is a small bit from that piece,

"Let’s talk about the personal shadow first. When we were one or two years old we had what we might visualize as a 360-degree personality. Energy radiated out from all parts of our body and all parts of our psyche. A child running is a living globe of energy. We had a ball of energy, all right; but one day we noticed that our parents didn’t like certain parts of that ball. They said things like: “Can’t you be still?” Or “It isn’t nice to try and kill your brother.” Behind us we have an invisible bag, and the part of us our parents don’t like, we, to keep our parents’ love, put in the bag. By the time we go to school our bag is quite large. Then our teachers have their say: “Good children don’t get angry over such little things.” So we take our anger and put it in the bag. By the time my brother and I were twelve in Madison, Minnesota we were known as “the nice Bly boys.” Our bags were already a mile long."

I discovered excavating my shadow didn't just mean looking at the things I don't like about myself, but at things I had "put in the bag" because it made other people uncomfortable such as my creativity. I have pulled my creativity out of the bag. I now lovingly and playfully explore creativity through art, beads, yarn, fabric, collaging, and just about anything I can try. I am so glad I dared to look into the shadow.

May you journey into your shadow with courage and rejoice at your integration.

Honoring Samhain

Samhain is about gratitude for the harvest for all that has come into our lives this past season and year. Having gratitude for the nourishment for out bodies and for the earth. It is also a time to Honor the passing/transition of all those that have gone on to the next phase of their existence in this past year. Recognizing them for their life on this earth, their contributions, their love and all they brought to us, all that they mean to us. We will miss them but we know that they are not gone just transformed to a new way of being.

Transformation happens on all levels in all ways. We are always transforming. The more we are able to flow with transformation the less it will wreck havoc on our lives.

Falling into a river and flailing about you are getting water up your nose and in your mouth, you hit rocks and are tumbled about. Now if you stay calm, you are still in the river but you can flow with the current, keeping your arms close in to your body, floating down the river gently maybe getting a few bumps and bruises but over all much gentler. Allowing yourself to flow with guidance, awareness until you find yourself able to pull yourself out.

How can you apply this to your life? What in your life feels out of control? Take time to sit quietly, going within, breathing deeply. What comes to you that you couldn't see while you were flailing about in the chaos? Allow yourself to take time to journal and dive deeply into the places that feel out of control. Where do you need to float? What do you have to be grateful for? What have you harvested in this past season? Whom do you have unfinished business with that you can journal through, discovering what actions if any are needed on your part.

When you feel complete put music on that feels appropriate for you, swaying, moving, dancing out what nolonger serves you and dancing in the energies that are needed.

Remember to be grateful for all that is in your life, the light the dark no difference.

Much love and blessings to you,

Compassion

It is interesting that passion is within the word Compassion.

Daughters

I emailed my oldest daughter today in hopes that she and I could heal and become closer. I felt compelled to do this for two reasons - I really miss her and how can I move forward and walk my talk unless I do all I can to heal what is between us. She and I have been estranged for a couple of years and it hasn't been good between us since she was 17. She is now 28. I of course made plenty of mistakes as she grew up. I was only 17 when I gave birth to her and I only knew what I had been taught though I really did try to do better than I was raised. Not making excuses just stating what is. Unfortunately it took past her raising to heal my own issues.

I loved her from the time that I knew she was inside my belly and I still do. I would give anything to have a loving relationship with her. All I can do is extend my hand with an open heart and I know what she does with that is up to her.

The mother daughter dynamic is so interesting. What we pass down from generation to generation through our words, deeds, and in our DNA is astonishing. It can be positive and negative. It shapes who we are. What we do with it is something else entirely. We can choose to clear/heal multi-dimensionally forward and backward in time to heal and prevent from passing on the negative traits that have been hurting each generation. There are many avenues for healing multi-dimensionally in this time of such great change on our beautiful planet. Grandmother, Mother, Sister, Daughter Earth. Earth is she. The healing we do for ourselves heals her as well. On all levels in all ways.






Are you estranged with someone in your life? Do you wish that things could be better? Reach out. Hold loving space for healing to happen however that may look. Stay as unattached to the outcome as much as you are able. If angry feelings come up for you, breath and meditate on finding your center, find the love in your heart to move through the anger and let it go. Remember that healing comes multi-dimensionally and even if you don't see immediate results there is always healing when we come from a loving place.

Much Love to you on your healing journey. Blessings to all the women in my life. Blessings to all of the Grandmothers, Mothers, Daughters, and Granddaughters.
