| Todays’ Divine Reflection: The human condition is full of illusion and suffering. Once the illusions are seen through, reality changes for us all and we can choose a different reality full of connection, freedom and joy. ~ Paul McCarthy |
During these past few years of the big cosmic breakdown, we have all moved through intense, significant change. We now find ourselves in the time where the completion of the breakdown continues and yet the rising of the breakthrough is actively occurring as well. Think of this moment as a sort of gap-space-in-time where the old and the new are knocking around in the same general energetic field of the Earth creating even bigger shifts and changes daily, often moment-by-moment within the day. To be sure, this complex energy can be challenging and yet, if you use all of the tools in your toolbox, you can ride these intense, chaotic, exhilarating waves gracefully like a hawk or an eagle effortlessly gliding through the air. Meditate. Ground. Stay well hydrated. Extra time in stillness. Affirm daily the experience that you seek to have so you don’t get stuck and mired in the muck of the outer collective experience. Find the joy, the beauty and the blessings in each day. And share the light of you, the laughter in your soul and the love in your heart ~ a simple smile and casual greeting to those you encounter along the way is enough.
For me, this summer in these shifting intense energies, has been rather a roller coaster ~ things go well, I feel good, have fun, see the beauty and the joy in the day effortlessly and then BOOM the day shifts to a funky, wonky, wtf is going on energy lol. In response, always best to respond rather than react, I AM deepening my ability and understanding of how to gracefully ride these energetic waves and navigate the 3D world from my inner 5D self. Breathing really helps. The change this summer has brought for me personally includes a greater healing of my foot injury from December. Man things take so much longer than “expected” to fully heal at this lovely age 🙂 ~ another reason to dust off my intention that I release all expectation, judgement and attachment so that I AM BEING in this holy instant. As the foot healed, an old shoulder injury reactivated and at the same time, I had a few stiches on the opposite arm after a removal of an abnormal mole so neither my left or right arms were fully available for yoga and other exercise for a time. While none of these health challenges really are anything big, the way they rotated through started to really take me out earlier this month so that’s when I went even deeper with all the work. That’s what change invites us to experience – the opportunity to tune in, tune up and heal on all levels.
I went to a sound bath not long ago and at the beginning I sent an Intention around health affirming that I AM radiant vibrant health. Once again, I expected a blissful soundbath experience as I have had several times before with this sound healer and wham ~ that expectation had to be quickly released as my guides looked underneath my intention and brought up all of the emotional components that were the underpinnings of all this physical stuff. Challenging and painful and yet powerful and freeing. Not a’tal the experience I expected but exactly the one that was in my highest good! Change is good as my sister Lonie sings ~ even if we don’t like it, change is good.
To move through the change and all the challenges, to keep things flowing vibrantly. it is essential to acknowledge the blessings, the good, so I took some time recently to reflect on the summer I’ve had to find the good, the light, the love, the joy. What we focus our attention on brings us more of that so best to focus on what you want to experience more of not the crud you are ready never to experience again. To that end, I thought I’d share some of that good summer stuff with you my friend. Been reading a really good book, “Mr. Owito’s Guide to Gardening” by Carol Wall. Also saw an excellent documentary about the book, “The Book Keepers,” that the writer’s husband and son created out of the book tour they went on to promote the book because Carol died of cancer not long after it was published. I highly recommend both the book and the documentary ~ well-done and inspiring. Another really beautiful and powerful movie I’ve seen this summer is “Where the Crawdad’s Sing” ~ it opens with a beautiful panoramic of the swamp (gorgeous cinematography throughout) with the narrator and main character saying, “A swamp knows all about death, and doesn’t necessarily define it as tragedy.” Don’t want to give away the ending but one of the last lines, and one of my favorites, is “I am the marsh now. I am a firefly. That’s where you’ll always find me, way back yonder, where the crawdads sing.” Check it out if you have the opportunity. I’ve also traveled a bit this summer and spent time with family. I’ve taken many lovely and inspirational walks alone in the cool Southern Cali mornings. Spent some time up in the mountains as a shuttle driver for my grandsons who are now totally into mountain biking. Mountain bike shuttling is a fair amount of driving up and down the mountain as the point is to shuttle them to the start of the trail and meet them at the bottom to take them back to start, over and over. And yet there is nothing more glorious than being in the mountains in the morning, hearing the joy of those twins yelling to each other floating in the air. I look up towards their voices and catch glimpses of them weaving in and out of the trees as they careen down the trail above me! Glorious adventure (albeit a tad nerve-wracking especially when they start talking about riding on the cliff trail!! lawdamercy too much for this Midwesterner used to flat plains! LOL!!). What I know for sure, is that finding the joy is all about focus.
All of this change we are moving through is also impacting the way things come through for me intuitively. This shifting requires I spend greater time in stillness in order to get familiar, comfortable and cozy with the new levels so I have spent a good bit more time this summer in solitary stillness. Much is shifting, changing and transforming and I AM staying open to all of that!
Peace and richest blessings,
Beth
