Watch Your Soul Fire

Soul on FireI was sharing a lovely visit with my friend Susan on the Chinese New Year, and Christine shared this beautiful message.  Enjoy.

You will be wanting to know more about what is in store for this new year, this new beginning, as some on your earth plane are celebrating this new year today.  And so it is we are brining to you a message of love and light and hope and praise and thanksgiving.  For all is in gratitude of everything you are and everything you hope to be, and everything you are creating in divine love.

For your friend (Susan) mentions passion and desire and will, and so it is that these emotions, these feelings, these perceptions are divine drivers of experience.  And we honor the passage of those experiences driven, fuelled by love.  As these are keen bedfellows, these emotional truths, for each of you.

And we are wanting you to know worry not over the details.  You do not have to micromanage the here tos, the wherefores, the how tos.  Immerse yourself in the feelings.  The passions of will and grace and love.

And bask, ye in the glory of these and see what ye shall create. For not bogged down in the worry of details, ye shall create the sun.  Imagine the most glorious sunsets.  Yeah, these are the qualities of beauty and light ye shall create when ye live in the house of your love.

And so it is we want you to reside within.

That is right.  We are directing you into your bodies to sit in the silence of your vibration and know the truth of that which brings you joy.  And, yes, we know you have heard it.  And, yes, we know that some of you wonder what does this mean?  How does it happen?  What really is supposed to happen?  It makes no sense.

And so we ask you now to stop in the stillness of you and imagine that your eyes look within.  We ask you to literally turn your vision, your gaze within yourself and to see that on which it falls.

Is there an area of your body that comes into your knowing?  Is there a vibration, a sound, a sensation?

Begin there.

Breathe with it.  Get to know it.  Experience it in whatever ways you can.  Allow yourself to let go.  To be.  To have no judgments.  To simply experience the presences.

And what is it?  What is this presence that calls your attention to it?  What needs attendance?  What needs attending?

Perhaps it is just to sit in the silence of vibration and breathe love with this part of yourself.

Perhaps there is a message or an alarm.  Let go of this.  Take care of that.  Release.  Forgive.  Love.

And so it is you have shown up.  And after you have attended all of the places that need noticing, what is the vibration within?  What love rises up through your heart chakra?

Are you peaceful?  At peace?  Do you have a certain clarity?  A knowing?  And when you choose to arise and open your eyes, how is it that you engage anew, afresh?

What is no longer there?  Notice the space that has opened up.

Do you suddenly have a desire to do something particular?  An interest? How does the space feel?  The space within?  Do you want to suddenly fill it with something else, or can you simply be with it and know?

This is what we mean when we suggest that you look within.  And notice the peace and tranquility that fills your vessel and thus frees your soul to align without the weight of the world. You have the energetic space to explore, to wonder, to create, to be, to know the truth of who you are.

This is all I have to say to you today.  Open your soul to peace and love and ignite the will, the passion, and the grace that flames and fuels your future.  Your New Year.

Know that you can create all your heart desires.  Bury not yourself in earthly thoughts of I can’t. It’s not possible.  How on Earth could I possibly . . ..  Forget all of this rubbish and begin within.

Ignite your unbridled passion and desire and watch your soul fire.

 

Seeds of Love

Are you readyRecently, I was working with a client, and the message that came through was so beautiful that I wanted to share with everyone.  My client graciously offered the story for the blog.  Thanks so much! 

My client said she’d received many indications that her grandmother was trying to give her a message and asked if I could find out what Grandma Mary was trying to tell her.

Grandma Mary asked:  What are you planting in your life?  Then she flashed pictures of a row in a garden being planted.  Each seed being placed in the soil, pressed down, and covered up.  Then she stood back and watched the plants grow.  Some grew and some didn’t.  Grandma Mary looked at my client and asked:  What are you planting with love?  Then she turned back to look at the field of crops.  Some of the plants were growing and some weren’t.  There was just a blank space.

My client admitted that she was doing some things without love.

Then Grandma Mary flashed a picture of my client casting seeds, as if she were spinning in a circle.  She asked:  How much are you planting?

My client admitted she’s doing many things.  Some she does with complete love and joy.  Then after reflection, she said, and I’m doing some things with love, but I am frustrated that others aren’t helping me.

There’s a rub. 

I know in my own life, I’ve committed to a lot of things, and I was doing them with all of my heart.  And after a while, it frustrated me that others weren’t participating in what I perceived as wholeheartedly. I don’t really know how to do things half-heartedly. And I had moments in which I felt I was carrying the load.  My issue wasn’t with the other people.  It was with myself.  You see, I was committed to so many things and doing them all with a full heart, and I was committed to too many things, so I was tired.  Out of balance. When I am committed wholeheartedly in a balance manner, I never notice what others are or aren’t doing because I am moving forward in love of self, in love of what I’m doing, in love with others, in love with the world.  

I asked my client:  Why does it bother you that others aren’t helping as you wish they would? Do you want to commit to this thing?  Are you committed to too many things?  Are you committed in balance with love for yourself? 

She admitted that in one area of her life, she was doing too much.  Then she had an epiphany, saying:  I really love two events.  I’d like to commit to chair those events and allow someone else to step up for leadership on the board.

What fantastic clarity! 

Grandma Mary then said, I decide what I’m going to do.  Then she flashed a picture of her pressing her lips together in a firm smile, and she made me feel how grounded she was to that spot, to the Earth—to what she wants.  It was clear–no one was going to push Grandma Mary into doing something she couldn’t do with love.  Then she walked back to her garden to plant with love.

Grandma Mary provided a wonderful reflection for all of us.

What are you “planting” in your life without love?  Is this what you want to plant your energy in?  Will this energy/effort grow, bear fruit for you?  Have you scattered your energy seeds too thin?  How does this affect you?  Can you shift—choose to plant everything in your life with love, no matter what others invest?

Do others move you to plant seeds you don’t want to plant?  Is this energy working for you? Do you resent investing energy in plants that will never bear fruit for you? Is this where you want to plant your energy?

Do you have the courage to plant only what you can infuse with love?

What do you plant with wholehearted love?  How does it grow, energize you?  How does it fill your life with love?

My husband has always been a gardener.  When we were first married, I always thought of spring as the time for planting.  April showers bring May flowers, right?  He always wanted to do major planting in the Fall.  He taught me that Fall is a great time for planting too, especially trees and other plants that appreciate time to get their roots settled and acclimated and energy stored up over the Fall and Winter, so that in spring, they are fully rooted in the soil and share the most magnificent blooming in Spring. He showed me that what we plant in Fall really comes to life in Spring.

Grandma Mary reminds us that planting our lives with love is essential to growth. What seeds of love do you want to plant this Fall? 

Thanks, Grandma Mary, for this beautiful message.

Fall In Love

When was the last time you heard someone say something like I am so in love with   . . ..?  I’m so in love with <insert name>.  He brings out the best in me.  I’m so in love with her.  She makes me feel like the man/woman I’m supposed to be.  I am so in love with this house.  It’s so inviting.  I love being in it–the view is amazing. I feel so comfortable.  I love that place!  Let’s go there!

How did you feel when you listen to someone gush about loving?

When others are filled with love, with abundance, with joy, with magic, how does it feel to be around them?  Do you enjoy it?  Is the love they feel infectious? Is it uncomfortable?  Annoying?

What we feel when we are in the presence of love is a reflection of the love we feel in and for ourselves.

I propose that it’s time to fall in love with yourself.  That’s right.  There is nothing better for wellbeing, balance, harmony, joy, or peace than self love . . . falling in love with yourself.  When we love ourselves, we take care of ourselves.  Have fun with ourselves.  Enjoy ourselves.  Are happy with ourselves.

What I’m proposing may seem exciting, or at least interesting to some, and scary to uncomfortable to others.  Isn’t it exciting, or at least interesting, to experience something new . . .  some new feeling?  Think about the last time you fell in love with something.  How’d it feel?  Easy?  Joyful?  Were you anxious at times?  Giddy at others?  Sure?  Unsure?  Excited to see what unfolded?  Eager for the next step?  Falling in love often takes us through a range of emotions. . . . What do you remember feeling?

Consider looking in the mirror and saying, I love you.  I love myself.

When you try it, how does it feel?  Do you want to turn away quickly?  Or are you comfortable with looking at yourself?

I started dancing when I was four years old.  Being short, I was always on the end of the line where there was no mirror.  If I looked slightly to my left, I saw the other girls in the mirror.  Later when classes were smaller and I was in a duet or trio, I was right in front of the mirror.  It was hard for me to look at myself.  I often watched the other girls or looked away, so I didn’t lose focus on the dance.  When I watched myself in the mirror, I saw all of my flaws and was very uncomfortable.  It was uncomfortable for me to look in any mirror.

How do you feel when you look in the mirror?  What goes through your mind?  What do you say to yourself?  What if you just changed the script?  What would happen if we all changed our scripts?

What would the world be like if everyone was taught to say, feel, and know:  “I love my self.  I am in love with myself.  I love loving myself.  Loving myself brings me joy.  Makes me happy.  Makes me feel . . . .  Is peaceful.  Is . . . . .

What will happen if you love yourself?  What will change for you?

I invite you to sign up for my blog and join me on a journey of love this fall.  Let’s explore falling in love with ourselves and see where that takes us.  It’s going to be an exciting journey.

Over the next week, ask:

  • Am I ready to fall in love with myself?
    • If you feel uncomfortable with that question, ask:   What do I fear?
      • Acknowledge whatever comes up.  Don’t be afraid to allow whatever you feel.  Accepting your fears is accepting yourself.  Rejecting your fears is rejecting a part of yourself.  If you can accept what you feel, you can love yourself.
      • What in the world could be more important than loving myself?
      • Am I ready to invest in my single-most valuable asset–me?

Let’s fall in love this fall.  With you.
