Grounding or "Being" Centered

I have not written for a while and the reason has been the title of this post.  I have not felt grounded or  Being centered in some time.  Thus, this post...

My "Being" is centered when I allow the present moment to be all that there is NOW.  Grounding can be visualized in the moment, by seeing that beautiful root coming from you base chakra rooting itself into the earth's dirt and growing deep to the center.   I love this visualization, I see it as a thick red root with lots of off shoots that support and intensely steady me.  I enjoy seeing roots shooting from my feet, too, stretching outward and downward for strong balance.

When I am centered, I feel as though I can do anything. I am aligned with spirit, my soul and the power is energizing.  Having not felt that way in some time, I must say that it is nice to be back on steady ground.

I have had much pain, discord and situations show up and know I was creating them by my inner imbalance.  Equanimity is so important and you sometimes need to be out of balance to get back in balance.   I am a Scorpio in astrology and a 4 in the Enneagram and several other systems back up the issues I continue to have in this life go round.  I am so much more capable of handling all things thrown my way, though, I still feel as though I am not.  Therefore, I handle situations roughly, unbalanced and it takes me a while to return to center.  Though, now at this point, I am aware of this and can find my way home quicker and more easily. 

Grounding, such as, dancing, singing, walking, are great ways to connect to my  spirit and becoming centered is a choice, even when it does not feel that way.  I am grateful for Being centered and Dancing and not caring who is watching!!! Namaste'

The Language of Light continued...

This is a sampling of a channelled book of symbols.

 

Author’s Note

     This book came about as a playful joke.  Having a question in mind, several friends and I went into meditation with the intent of going into the future.  One person asking to know the light, another wanting to know how to help the children and the other wanting to know the past, present and future in this moment, I wanted to know how I may serve the future, now.  As we discussed what happened in each of our meditations, we joked of me writing a book about the meditation, which lead to a book about the future.  Having played with the idea, I jokingly made the suggestion of a book with blank pages.  Which progressed to further expounding – a Table of Contents with nothing listed, a book signing with me running my hand across the page with no pen in sight, the suggestion of a certain page needing to be read -carefully, book discussion groups with nothing being said, and as it most definitely will be a best seller, a movie, with, of course, blank screens.  Suddenly, though, the joke became a reality in our minds and developed into the book you now hold in your hand.

     The symbols in this book flowed through me over a period of three weeks, with seventy-eight coming through the very night of the meditation.  In peaceful meditation, eyes closed and pencil poised, my hand drew what the Universe wanted to express.  I took creative license only at final inking for clarity of each symbol as the Universe again spoke of colors in connection with each symbol, bringing a more meaningful quality to the energy.  As I was coloring the symbols I was “told” that a number corresponded to each symbol.  Having three hundred and sixty symbols, it was then revealed that there would not be a sequence to these numbers, but rather an order of seeming chaos.  Again, as I lay down the numbers in the variety of locations given, the Universe spoke of names for each symbol, bringing about the final pictures you now have discovered.

   When the Heart Speaks ~ Listen is energy filled with a message for the individual desiring to truly make a difference in their lives and that of the world as a whole and beyond.  Each of us is on a path and our life leaves, much more than a carbon footprint, we leave residual emotional, mental, spiritual, and vibrational energy along our journey.  The energy we choose is up to us.  Will your energy imprint be loving, gentle, angry, painful, empowering, accepting, peaceful or destructive?  What energy do you wish to leave as you pass through your exquisitely individual life?

My personal desire is that we all find unconditional love in our hearts for one another; live peacefully, with acceptance of each other as we share this living, breathing delicious planet and bring harmony to our future world.  The energy imprint I wish to communicate as I pass through this lifetime is that of love, peace, harmony, acceptance and light.

This book was discovered by you as a gift to our world’s future.  The Divine Essence that you hold within, every thought you think, every action you take and every one of your cellular vibrations resonates out to the whole.  You personally are responsible for the enhancement of the Universe, treat it with love.

   As you join me on this magnificent expedition, my heartfelt desire is that you embrace this chance to leave your imprint on the vibration of this world and beyond with conscious awareness.

Introduction

When the Heart Speaks ~ Listen is an adventure of experience.  There is no right way to use it but there is the willingness of intention on your part.  In the following you will find pages exuding energy of the highest vibrations, pages oozing with the Universal Love from ions of our past with a direct connection to our future.  All is in the NOW moment waiting to be discovered, allowed, cherished and implemented.

Simply hold the book between your hands, meditate with the book allowing it to guide you to your point of intention.  Open the book at random and feel the energy connection to that particular page.  The page will consist of a symbol, color, number and name that you were drawn to for a reason – only you know that reason.  Though, the symbol is a guiding key, the page itself is alive with vibrations – read the page, study it, absorb it, memorize it, breathe it in and stay with it.  Pay attention to what you experience - feelings, visions, thoughts, and sensations – while “reading” this page.  This is your heart speaking, listen, this is the language of the future which you are an eminent part.

When the Heart Speaks ~ Listen is to be used as a meditation, a catalyst for spiritual discovery, and an instrument for self-awareness and of All~That~IS. 

Bless, love, and honor this book, and it will speak to you.

Happiness! An Inside Job

Happiness can be elusive, sparked for no reason at all or needing stimulation to become alive.  Truly, happiness is an inside job.  It is always there, waiting to come forth if only we would allow it to flow.  I sit and stare at nothing and can feel the flow of true happiness coursing through my veins.  Other times it just seems to travel on a voyage far from my heart, yet, with one slight manipulation from outside, I find myself gloriously in touch with my happiness again.

I know the truth, I need nothing to spark the feeling of happiness.  It burns within me resting until I notice its presence. Though, I may try to touch it, it is out of reach.

This brings me to the message of happiness.  Happiness is there whether I notice its presence or not.  It is always within me.  Knowing that is enough to feel happy about.
I may feel discouraged, even sad, off my path or in bed with the covers over my head, happiness has not left, it is just hidden by the illusion I have placed on top of it.

"Happiness is an inside job" -  Reminds me of the safe cracker working with an informant- it must be an inside job - Well, of course it is, I am the one to crack the safe wide open and I am my own informant.  If I listen quietly, I will hear the gentle sound of happiness within my soul's song and I have the capability to bring it to the present moment.  I have actually laughed in the moment of tears running down my cheek with sadness and found the happiness in feeling the sadness.  Happiness is everywhere, in every moment no matter what it looks like in our story we have created.

Enjoy! Happiness Abounds....Namaste'

Out of touch!

I was out of touch for some time now and have not felt that I had anything to share.  Though, life has been busy, boring, exciting, loving, sad and distracting, there was nothing I could put into words.  So, here I am to share of what I have learned in this down time, and of course, it is about Balance and finding Equanimity.

More than six months ago I had several things occur, a person dear to me ended our friendship, physical issues arose to a severe point and life changes had me alone much of the time.  My heart was broken and the physical issues showed up to enlighten me that I was not handling it all that well.  At the progression of the health challenges, of course, my emotional and mental states were affected.  Being alone much of the time I struggled between changing my thinking through affirmations and lying in bed unable to think of anything but heartbreak. 

Slowly and with an effort to focus, I kept saying my affirmations and getting out more to enjoy life. My heart has started to open again and I am in a stronger place.  Equanimity is finding its way back into my life again. I am balancing the physical and spiritual realms, lightening up and relaxing, being more active in my creation of my life and trusting more.

When life challenges us it is difficult to keep the balance in our inner state.  It is the courage we use to get through those times that shows us how strong we truly are.  Even when we feel we want to give up, we are still here, so, we are experiencing our strength of courage.  That is equanimity.  It reminds me of the pendulum swing.  It swings far left and then right before it finds the center again.  It is its natural state to swing back and forth.  That's being human.  We will always come back to center if we let our pendulum swing gently to find its own balance.

I feel so truly grateful that the equanimity in my life has come full circle.  I was just taking a deep breath as I wrote the previous sentence and I could sense the Divine within the breath breathing me.  Balance and breath, breath to balance and repeat...Namaste'

My First Awakening

Remembering my first awakening as an adult seeking the truth of who I AM:

I simple statement from a person in an Alanon meeting speaking to the group, and I paraphrase here, "You are loved unconditionally just for being. You do not have to do anything."  I can remember actually registering shock! My brain had to wrap itself around such a wild remark.  I had never heard that, I didn't have to do something to be loved?  It literally changed my life.  Just  a simple statement of Truth.

"You are loved unconditionally just for being. You do not have to do anything", how well do you know that?  Is it really real for you?  You are loved unconditionally by the Universe, God, Buddha, Jesus...whoever or whatever you believe is "out there" or "within you".  I hear it, I know it is the Truth but I don't know if I get it most of the time.  I act as though I need to behave a certain way, have a job, earn money, do more and have things, etc..but it is not the Truth.  The best part is when I don't worry about all that stuff, I feel the love resonate within me and I know deep in my soul who I AM.

Take a mental, emotional and spiritual check everyday and see where you stand with it.
How often do you think otherwise, or, are you a rare person who knows it all the time?
I think most of us waver between knowing we are the Universe's child and unconditionally loved, and feeling not good enough, separate from our Divine Being.  Sad, but true of this human experience.  Part of the path of remembering...Who We Truly Are.  The challenge for me is to really understand and believe that even when I waver to the "not knowing", I am still loved unconditionally.

I remember once, someone from a traditional religion telling me I would not be saved if I did not believe their way.  I was young then, but I still hold to my answer, "If there is a God and she/he is all encompassing and unconditionally loving would she/he not love me totally whether I believe on not?"  The answer is a resounding "YES!"

You Are Loved Unconditionally Just for Being...
Namaste'

Equanimity, Oh My!

What is equanimity?  Balance, Equality, Calmness, Harmony... And what does it have to do with us?

Well, I have come here, according to my Astrology chart, Enneagram type, Soul System, Micheal System and more, to find and bring equanimity.  I need first to find it within myself and then assist in the balancing of the planet, starting with the the masculine and feminine energies.

That is the challenge! The challenge within each of us.  The Masculine and Feminine energies get a bad rap in our society and the world.  The women against the men and vice a versa.  I never understood that! Why would I want to be against the opposite sex when I truly want the connection to be felt more lovingly? (which I believe is there for all of us, we just are unaware of that truth)  The real issue, of course, is that we all have the masculine and feminine within and we are only disagreeing and fighting with ourselves.  The true equanimity is the love I bring to both energies within myself and carry that out into the world wherever I walk.

How do I find that equanimity?  Love it, Love it, Love it!!!!  Do your best to never be against something that is a part of you.  If you are female, love the masculine strength with a soft embrace.  If you are male, stop fighting the gentle peacefulness of openly loving.  Whatever "society" has put on you personally because of the sex that you were born into, let it drop away.  Who would you be if you had not been labeled?  Who do you want to be if no one put those pressures on you to think and act a certain way?

For many years I would tell people that I believed that both sexes are the same. And believe me, that was not accepted well.  But I still say it, we are the same, we are Divine, Universal Energy that has been put into a box and marked "It's a Girl!" "It's a Boy!".  I say, take the label off and bring together those energies to blend and meld into a powerful, sweet, loving energy that can openly and unconditionally embrace and incorporate all that is of this world as one energy. 

We are all magnificent beings with powerful strength to change this world with our loving hearts and gentle hands.  This year of 2012 will bring wonderful changes within each of us and amazing changes to our world as we know it, if we stop resisting our own inner nature and bring that calm harmonious equanimity from within to every situation we encounter.

Bless all that you touch with the Divinity that you are...
Namaste'
