Pairing Up and Paring Down

The various astrologers and mystics have been writing about the January 31 2018 Full Moon Eclipse – saying that it is the start of a nineteen (19) year cycle.  The eclipses  are karmic timers that signify a change in fate and destiny.  In this particular 19 year cycle, we will each need to deal with love, relationships, and our natural, spiritual gifts.  Most of us have been awakening, and now is the time to “be awake”, to learn how to use the gifts for the greatest and highest good.  Don’t worry, your teachers will arrive when you need them, and then will leave you.  You must do all the work.

Knowing that big changes are happening has made me think about what we all need in our lives, and that is support.  As I was musing about this, a blog that I wrote back in 2009 came to mind and I thought it was worth sharing at this time.

Go in peace.

Pairing Up and Paring Down

“Winter wonderland” – copyright S. Roger Joyeux, and used with permission.

As I walked out in the park this morning with the dogs, the first thing that caught our attention were two deer walking slowly down the path at the far edge of the park, about one-half mile from where we were entering.  They were content, grazing as they went.  There was a peacefulness to their journey.

Then as we walked down in to the river flood plane, two eagles flew up and down the river. One finally came to the tree top directly across the river from us.  The other eagle circled, watching us and watching the geese, and looking for the fish that would come close to the surface.  Again, there was a serenity to the scene that makes the moment a blessing.

Quite often, our walks are “walking meditations” for me.  As I walked, I reflected that even the two chickadees that we saw were a pair.  The ducks that flew up seemed to be in twos.  The sense was of a “Noah’s Ark” effect.

One of the thoughts that passed through my mind was that in order to hold our balance through the upheavals that will be happening, we each will need someone – a partner who will anchor us as we will anchor them.  To help maintain the balance, we will need to let go of many things – material things.  That process has already been started in the US where people are having to walk away from houses full of furniture for financial reasons.  At the same time, by letting go and paring down, these people are opening up space to accept new energy that will take them beyond the consumer infection that the corporate world has been pushing for the last fifteen years.

As we pare down and let go, many of the energy blockages that have kept us from being happy – we were so busy consuming that we did not realize what happiness was – will dissolve.  Life will be simpler.

Spring Equinox March 20 2018 Message

image

This spring equinox is about rejuvenation of the self.  What this means is, concentrate on your own healing, wisdom, learning, growth, and experience.  Let others concentrate on their own journey.  Offering unsolicited advice, driving and controlling others, and manipulating those around you, will lead to illness very quickly.

This brings to mind the affirmations that will help you on your journey:

When we get involved in other people’s stuff, we move away from our path.  We can ask for blessings for others or for healing for others, yet if the person does not ask for it themselves, we are simply sending out energy that will keep on going without touching the other person, because that other person is not ready.

So, how does this affect healers?  The more that a healer tries to work on others without doing any work on themselves, the more likely it is that the healer will fall ill or have an accident that takes them out of the healing world for a time.  The illness or accident, will focus on the cornerstone that the healer must work on to keep being the example they need to be to their clients.

Overall, it does not matter if you are in service to others if you are not in service to self. Translating this concept to self means – eating properly for you, not according to someone else’s diet or way of life; maintaining the body temple in a healthy balanced manner, for if your body can not support you, it will not support your work; and doing all the clearings that you do with people, on yourself, at least in weekly sessions. (Daily is better!)  If you do not have time to work on yourself, should you be working on others?  This is a question that each of us must answer.

As a comparison, when an athlete is training, they train only for themselves, and use a coach.  Only when they have trained long and hard, doing the same routines everyday, often for eight and ten years, or longer, do they think about becoming coaches, to work with others.

Now is the time to pay attention to you!

Go in peace.

Karmic Thoughts

“I am the owner of my karma.


I inherit my karma. I am born of my karma. I am related to my karma.
I live supported by my karma.

Whatever karma I create, whether good or evil, that I shall inherit.”


The Buddha, Anguttara Nikaya V.57 – Upajjhatthana Sutta

“When the earth is dying there shall arise a new tribe of all colours and all creeds.  This tribe shall be called The Warriors of the Rainbow and it will put its faith in actions not words.” – Prophecy of the Native American Hopi people

Go in peace.

Ancestors Speak – A Line In The Sand or Co-creation?

image

This picture is from an email that I received about six months ago.  I do not know who the photographer is, however, that person did a great job!

What are the things in your life that are non-negotiable?  Who are those beliefs/values conflicting with?  Why do you feel so strongly about this issue?

These are some of the questions that came up for me the other day when I was stopping to reflect over a situation that caused me great emotion.  For many of us, when we need to take a stand, we do it with every fiber of our being.  We are so wrapped up in our view that we fail to see that there are other options.

When I was in a Leadership Training program back in 2000, one of the activities was to break down in to two teams. The Facilitator then drew a line in the sand on the volleyball court, and handed us a rope.  The idea was that one team had to drag the other team over the line to prove superiority.  Each day, in our activities, most of us still draw lines, standing on one side of the line and saying that our idea is the best or our belief is the best, or whatever.

The idea of co-creation is that there is not one side that is bigger or stronger or best.  Co-creation is about doing what is best for all in the circumstances.  Generally, when clever people think through a problem, the resulting solution is the synthesis of all the ideas and shows that something greater can occur when people work in harmony.

Did I mention that a soul-ution tends to bring people together, and create a community that is excited about tackling new challenges?  When we are engaged in creating the best and most loving solution, we are happy; our soul is happy; and the Universe is happy.

Next time you need to draw a line in the sand, make it a heart!

Blessings.
