Giving Thanks to the Many Hearts

Walking in the forest this morning I was feeling heaviness in my heart. I'm aware that some of what I carry are unresolved burdens from my ancestors.

Those of us who are alive today are among the fortunate and privileged, to be present on Earth during such a monumental time of healing. Our Earth is making her transition from an age of human suffering into an age of Greater Light and Beauty. In this new era we will see hidden truths revealed, new remedies for illness, and remarkable shifts in new technologies that support the divine aspects of human and planetary life.

We are swiftly advancing toward our Golden Age. As we make our approach, burdens that were too difficult to bear by those who have come before us travel with us in our hearts and souls into this new age of enlightenment and into the light for the healing and transformation of our past, present and future.

I acknowledged these burdens this morning with great compassion, particularly for those in my female lineage who may have suffered untold tragedies in their walk upon the earth. Thank you sisters, mothers, daughters, grandmothers, friends and aunties for being brave enough to shine your light into the darkness.

Thank you to the many hearts who have contributed, and to those who continue to contribute to the opportunities for healing that are available to us today. Thank you to the many hearts who have given and continue to bring love for the greater good of all.

Snow Prayer - Releasing the Heavy Energies of Fear

I watched the snow as it fell to the ground, each beautiful flake appearing like a gift of light from heaven blessing us on earth. As I sang to the water and to the snow, I asked that the blessing be shared with all water and all snow. And then I sang to the emotion within all people, represented by the water and the snow, envisioning a fluid movement through the fears that are surfacing at this time. As I continued to watch the snow fall, nature spoke to me about our hidden emotions.

I was told that the fears that many of us are experiencing these days are not new fears. They are fears that have been buried deep within us for quite some time. The events that are unfolding in our world are allowing these fears to surface now. As we begin to recognize and encounter our fears, there is an opportunity to free ourselves and release these heavy energies to the earth where they can be put to good use.

The practice of returning heavy energies to earth mother is common to several sacred cultures. Earth Mother knows how to use these energies in the creation and sustenance of life. We are told that the planet is ascending into a new dimension of vibration. The heavy energy of old and accumulated fears cannot be sustained in the higher vibration of love.

I was dreaming and journeying with the snow, sitting on the rocks by the waterfall while particles of love and light descended to earth with each falling snow flake. I was told that we are surrounded by and immersed within a unified field of particles of light and love, and when we give our intention to certain aspects of light and love, those particles become ever more animated and resonant in such a way as to bring into manifest reality that which we are desiring and intending. I am praying now with Nature for help releasing energies of fear from my body and my being and from all bodies and all beings in the world. I am praying for a peaceful transformation of the density of fear within us, that we find a way to let it go, release it to our Mother planet. I am calling upon the light and love that surrounds and immerses me within it to assist in this process of release and transformation, knowing that these energies belong to Earth Mother and support her in her process of ascension.

If fear is present in your life at this time, please know that my prayers include you, if you so desire, and I invite you to pray with me for the peaceful transformation of the densities of fear within us and upon this planet. Let our intentions be known within the unified field of absolute love and light that surrounds and upholds us in all that we do.

The Ultimate Tool of Transformation

Last month I wrote about the voice of discontent within me. This inner voice was not a new expression that popped up out of nowhere, although it may have seemed that way at first. It was a voice of discontent that had been with me for quite some time, likely the better part of my life. The reality is that the voice of bitterness grew closer and closer to the surface of my awareness until it became so disruptive to my inner calm that I had to do something about it … it became necessary for me to change.

This force which moves us to change is occurring within us and around us. The problems that we are facing in our world have been present for a very long time, just now becoming ever more visible. One way we can be immediately effective in creating a better world is by addressing that which needs to change within our own being.

The process of externalizing problems has proven to be very helpful in creating the changes I want to see in the world. Externalizing allows me to de-personalize my issues to some degree, and in so doing get a more objective look at what is going on. With my grinchy little friend, the voice of bitterness, I set it on a tree stump in front of me during one of my morning walks and began to dialogue with it. As I began to imagine myself looking directly at my bitterness it took on the appearance of one of the characters from Monsters Inc. It was sort of round and not nearly as menacing as it seemed when it was hidden in the dark of unknowing. Nonetheless, when approaching a monster, it is always of utmost importance to do so with love. This is true in every case when we desire to change anything about ourselves. We must begin with love.

In my personal quest for peace, I am on a mission to uproot long standing emotions of discontent. My intention is to bring them out of hiding and into the light of love where all healing is possible. Most recently, as a direct result of my intention, a hidden rage within me began to surface. Rage can be very frightening, and it can also be considered a reasonable response to the suffering, ignorance, violence and injustice we find in our world today. For this and other reasons, our rage deserves our respect. As hard as it may seem, it also deserves and requires our love if we truly want to heal.

When I placed my rage in front me and looked squarely into it’s eyes, the urge to scream at the top of my lungs in hatred and distaste for its mere presence was almost insurmountable. I allowed this urge within me to be there while choosing instead to breathe deeply. Knowing that the only way my rage could change was if I held it in love, I gently invited myself to call forth compassion to replace my desire to strike out against it. Gratefully, compassion obliged as I began to surround my rage with loving grace. That day I witnessed that love is the greater force and the ultimate tool of transformation.
