Contemplative thought for today

My youngest two are being inundated with questions on what they are going to do as they step into adulthood .
And I have fallen into the trap of answering in a way of different things they're thinking about .
I find myself doing the same for myself when people ask me about me .
I answer that I am a teacher or a healer or a mother or a writer .
Those are rolls I play, but they are not who I am at my core .
They are the result of who I am .
Who I am is a person who wants to make a difference in the world and who loves in a big way. Who I am as someone who is reflective and wants to lead and inspire who I am as a person who loves to laugh and loves to dream and loves to Have deep important conversations.
Because of who I am, those paths of mother and teacher, and Healer and writer have been passed that express who I am
But they are not who my soul is.
If I quit teaching and healing and writing, and my kids moved to the other end of the world and never spoke to me again
I would obviously be heartbroken and a void would need to be filled
But I am sure that eventually I would find a new way to express who I am.

So when people ask about my kids and what they are doing in their lives, I am going to try to remember that they are not their jobs and their education
And Be courageous enough to say who they are -
They are smart and funny, and know who they want to be around and when. They have beautiful hearts, and our compassionate and resilient. They pull together for each other and for me.
They have many many talents . They are extremely lovable, not just to me but to many.
How can I define these magnificent human beings to a job or an education educational path.

They all will make an important contribution to the world
In incredibly different ways .
By being
And hopefully that will lead to their aligned careers
But if not , the way they are will make a ripple effect of good and joy to others around them.
When they were born, I knew the gift that they brought to my world, and it wasn't a career path down the road .

Sachin brought an incredible love that I had never felt before
Zane brought pure joy
Lili brought feistiness and sweetness
Ari brought delight and completed our family .

The question is not
What are you going to do?
The question is
who are you going to be?

I have had a sacred daily practice in the mornings for the last 15 years.
I have done everything from morning pages to angel cards to guided meditations to prayer to movement.

It is my time with myself

and my time with Spirit.

The last couple of weeks I have added another component to my daily practice of movement.
I wanted to incorporate some quiet time to hear messages from my spirit guides.

So i have created a ritual of sitting in the dark with only the light of a single candle lit. The timer is set for 11 minutes and then I just sit.

No music ,
no guided meditations,
only me.

A couple of times I felt the presence and warmth of Spirit.
But most days I have been experiencing frustration because “nothing “ happens . The timer goes off, and I feel like I missed out on something.
No channelled messages,
no downloads,
no wisdom,
no visits from my angels.

“Nothing is happening ,
is it even worth continuing to do this?
Am I doing it wrong?
Nothing is happening.”

And then the message comes
- “STILLNESS ISN’T NOTHING “

Aaahh
Stillness isn’t nothing
- even in my quiet time, there is a part of me expecting a result, an outcome, a something.

But  giving myself 11 minutes of stillness, of quiet, of pure rest
Is something
It’s a lot of something

Because my day is full of somethings -
Full-time teaching
Parenting
Cooking, laundry, dishes
Errands
Appointments
Writing and healing sessions
Time with my children
Checking in on family and friends
Exercising
Paperwork
Socializing

My day is full of wonderful blessed somethings
- Busy,
productive,
connection,
responsibilities

And so in most of my day, stillness is hard to come by.

It is elusive.

So beautifully I give a gift to myself with 11 minutes in the early morning
of quiet
and rest
and no other outcome but that.

The stillness is the point-
the sweetness and slowness of the candlelight,
the fuzzy blanket wrapped around me
cuddled up in my comfy chair-
that quiet is what my soul needs

 which is perfect
in the eyes of Spirit.

They are guiding me after all

Stillness isn’t nothing
It is everything.

Reshared from last year.

The young man was at the end of his rope.
Seeing no way out, he dropped to his knees in prayer. “God, I can’t go on,” he said. “I have too heavy a cross to bear.”
God replied, “My son, if you can’t bear its weight, just place your cross inside this room, then open that other door and pick out any cross that you wish.”
The young man was filled with relief. “Thank you, Lord,” he said.
Upon entering the other door, he saw many crosses, some so large that the tops were not visible.
Some were so heavy that he could not pick them up. Some were made out of metal, some were so wide he couldn’t see around them. Some were spiky .
He kept walking, not wanting to choose any of those crosses.
Then he spotted a small cross leaning against the far wall.  It was so tiny he could just carry it in his pocket .
“I would like this one please. “
God smiled and replied, “My son, that’s the cross you came in with. “
- source unknown , adapted by me

I was sad this morning. Worried about a lot of things.
Heart heavy.
And then I saw a tiny cross, reflected in my mirror.
It reminded me of this story and that I make my problems and worries so big, but actually, I have the smallest cross “in the room”.
When I remember this, my perspective changes, and I realize how very very very blessed I am .
That God didn’t give me more than I can handle.
And sometimes when my problems are big, he gave me so much heavenly and earthly support to carry my cross.
It’s never been more than I can handle
Because I am still here
On the other side of those problems.
If it was too much, I wouldn’t still be standing.
And I wouldn’t still be able to keep going and dreaming and smiling.
 Thank you God for my tiny
cross
And if there was a room full of blessings,
Thank you for my blessings being one of the most abundant .

Wishing you , my friends, a day where you see how blessed you are !

"I'll tell you a secret: we don't read and write poetry because it's pretty. We read and write poetry because we belong to the human race; and the human race is filled with passion. Medicine, Law, Commerce, Engineering... they are noble and necessary races to dignify human life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love are things that keep us alive”

Sometimes when we are not feeling good and feel out of sorts, we often go immediately to looking for a reason for it. I don’t feel good so maybe there’s something wrong with me or some thing wrong in my life . We can then start spinning- it must be because my business is not doing good, it must be because I’m stressed about money, it must be because my partner doesn’t love me anymore, it must be because I’m ugly or stupid or alone.
We have a feeling and then try to think of a thought that explains why we are feeling that way.

But why do we not consider that maybe my body might just be dysregulated and need something
I may be hungry
Or dehydrated
Or tired
Or lethargic
Or I may be getting sick
Or my period may be coming
Or I am overheated

Instead of saying, my life is bad
Things suck
Check into whether your body needs something and give it what it needs

Consider that maybe you need a glass of water
Some food
Some yoga
Meditation
A walk
A nap
Quiet time
The fan on
A heating pad
A bath

Sometimes it is easy as that to turn your mood

If you are still feeling angry or sad or overwhelmed after that
That’s when you can bring in
The breathwork
The tapping
The journaling
The moving your emotions through you and feeling them

Sometimes our emotions need processing

And sometimes they are just a signal that our body needs some thing.

Consider which one it might be.

I love you.

There is a beautiful theme coming out in my healing sessions.
And I believe it’s reflective of more and more of us women who want to lean into our feminine .

So many of us have had to take on a masculine role in our lives
Because of societies views
Because we’ve been the head of the household
Or because we believed that is how to get things done

So we have pushed
Forced
Controlled
Lived in anxiety
Carried so so much alone on our shoulders
Not asked for help
Given but with no boundaries

And that’s not the natural way to be for a woman in her femininity.

The new energetics are calling for
Softness
Trust
Letting things flow
Receiving
Following divine intuition
Knowing we are taken care of by God/the universe/source

This does not mean goals and dreams and moving forward cannot happen
But it happens in a different way
In inspired action
In divine timing
In rest
In creativity
In leaning back.

Beautiful things have happened in my life
When I am in trust mode,
Surrender,
Joy,
Partnering with God .

This is what is coming out in my healing sessions for so many women in the last few months.
And it is a reminder for me
When I want to push and force
That I rather be soft

And soft can still be strong

Actually this soft is stronger
than the old me which was needing to be in control because my core wasn’t solid enough.

It is time for the women who are ready to receive and flow and let things come.

And for the men who are ready to lead and care for the women in their lives .

That’s the beautiful partnership
Receiving and giving
Flowing and leading
Being and taking action .

These are the new energetically for those who are ready.

Copied from Melanie James

On this night...23 years ago, 246 people went to sleep in preparation for their morning flights. 2,606 people went to sleep in preparation for work in the morning tomorrow. 343 firefighters went to sleep in preparation for their morning shift. 60 police officers went to sleep in preparation for morning patrol. 8 paramedics went to sleep in preparation for the morning shift of saving lives. None of them saw past 10:00 am Sept 11, 2001.

In one single moment life may never be the same. As you live and enjoy the breaths you take today and tonight before you go to sleep in preparation for your life tomorrow, kiss the ones you love, snuggle a little tighter, and never take one second of your life for granted.

When someone is unreliable and inconsistent and not able to love me,
I can be the reliable, consistent, loving anchor for myself .
I can take that wounded part of me and love it and listen to it .
And be the person who really sees me and cherishes me .

I can take the big love I give to others and give it back to myself.
Give that big love to
The part hurting
The part feeling rejected
And uncentered.

I can sit with the part that aches.

Not everyone will see me
Or come through for me ,
But I can do that for myself .

I love myself .
It has taken me so long to get here .
So I hold my own heart tenderly .
The one that feels like a broken bird right now.
I will
Caress it
Whisper to it
Let it feel my commitment to it.

I will bring it back to life .
Let it flower into a beautiful pink rose.

Because that’s what my heart is
A beautiful pink rose .

Sometimes waiting for some thing wonderful is what my heart tells me to do!
I can love myself
And
Be open that God has beautiful plans for me .
And my dream come true will come when the time is right.
The heart wants what it wants
So I will wait for it. and know what I want is on it’s way
