How Green Is Your Valley?

Although this was written 3 years ago. It can still have affect as to what we are experiencing in our lives today. Do not go into illusion and feel as if Universal Life Force (God) has given up on you.

How Green Is Your Valley?

            You are walking out through a wide and long meadow when you come upon something that stirs your imagination and your soul to the very core. This picture is so grand, so intensely extreme that it takes your breath away.  The overpowering strength of the force of its nature draws you closer to get a better view.

           

            Picture in your mind some high rugged mountains, where steep rocks strive to retain the outlying edges. These mountains rest across a blue sky where only wisps of clouds dare to envelope the peaks. Resting tranquilly through the middle of these mountains is a deep green valley. How odd the valley looks from a distance inside this steep jagged surface. Still something beckons you closer to feel the full effect.

            As you get closer you hear trickling water, singing birds, see many butterflies and hear the humming of bees. That’s when you notice the exuberance of what you have stumbled into. In this deep green valley running smoothly through these high rugged mountains, a small stream feeds the lush green valley from a ravine running down the middle of the mountains. Half way up on the other side of the mountain you notice a clear, deep blue, abundantly flowing waterfall. Now you feel a sense of peace come over you as you move closer noticing the lavishness of this deep green valley. You blissfully surrender to your surroundings as you become one with this natural scene. You are part of the lush green grass, the meadow, the flowers, and the gratefulness of the song-filled birds. You become so transfixed on the tranquility that you no longer see the ruggedness of the mountains. They are all just a part of the surroundings, but they are not at the heart of what lies inside.

            Now envision this: Think of the rugged mountains as life’s challenges or obstacles you come across. The deep green valley is the heart of you. The waterfall represents God/Universal Source. It seems that sometimes in our lives, we only see the rugged mountains. We forget to experience and refresh ourselves under the waterfall that is always available to us. We forget to go within in prayer or meditation and let God wash over and cleanse our struggling hearts and minds.

            The color green is associated with the heart chakra. The heart chakra is the energy flowing in the center of our chest. When we go through too many struggles in our lives and our heart chakra is out of balance, we may experience difficulty in relationships. We may attempt to depend on someone else for our happiness and feel a lack of self discipline. To balance this feeling, breathe in God’s love, create something, go into nature and feel the balance of life around you. Give, donate, share something with someone and expect nothing in return. By doing this you release the emotionally suppressed trauma you have held in your heart. Your expression is one of love in action. It will create in you a limitless compassion filling your heart with empathy and most important forgiveness. The act of forgiving yourself for holding on to something that did not bring you a sense of peace will make an emerald lotus cross in your heart chakra emit a bright shining light. This bright shining light dwelling in your heart will pull the imminence of love and peace to you. You will know you are never alone. Breathe in the God light, bring in the lushness, the emerald peace into your heart.  Release, relax and let go of the past. God is with you now, God is with you always. Rugged times may come again and when they do, ask yourself, how deep and green is your valley?

Tune into Source

The Earth is shifting and everyone is feeling this. We, as a human race are changing as a whole. This is happening because we are all interconnected in some way. More and more each day, people from all walks of life tell me how they are feeling different physically, mentally or are opening or closing emotionally. The time is now to change. You ask how? It has to do with taking the time to tune into Divinity (God/Goddess/Source, whatever your name for this higher being is). Take the time to just breathe; sit, listen to your breath and ask for guidance from Divinity. If you are feeling sad, tune into Source and ask for connection to be uplifted. Don’t concentrate too hard, just breathe, ask and see the Divine light coming into you. If you are feeling weak or sick, tune into Source and ask for a connection to be healed. KNOW in each circumstance that you are tuning into a part of who you really are and when you ask, it is given you before you even realize it. Don’t judge, don’t put any circumstances on it, just let it go and be taken care of.  If you are feeling happy and OK, tune into Source and be prayer for others, see them in perfect divine light feeling like you do. Tune into Source, you cannot go wrong. Whatever you are feeling, spend some time, if only for 5 minutes each day, take the time to tune into Source energy. And remember to be thankful after you request and send your loving energy to our Mother Earth. She needs your love also.

Namaste-Blessings dear Souls,

Living Without Regrets

Living Without Regrets

                As we look back on 2011 and realize what we've achieved, let's take that into our hearts  feeling that sense of power  that's been given us. Give yourself a pat on the back for moving through long standing issues that you've finally pushed through and accomplished. 

                Some of you may feel down while  looking back on 2011 with regrets.  You didn't accomplish all of what you wanted to.  You didn't speak up;  get that job; quit that job; move forward with a relationship; move into a relationship; feared moving out of a relationship; feared being alone or feared stepping forward into the unknown, whatever it may be.  It's NEVER too late, have no regrets dear souls.  Let it go!  Universal Source (God) is always willing to work with you whenever you are ready to move forward to where you want to be.

                You may reflect back on the year and decide that you will make a resolution to really make 2012 your year! First, feel it in your heart; commit to yourself that you are "worth" it and at the same time, ask God for direction to get you started on your path. All of us have regrets about what we could have said, done, etc., but holding on to these regrets does nothing to help our hearts (both physically and emotionally) to move into the glorious part of who we really are (parts of the Universal Source).  Our souls must make that connection back to God, embracing it sacredly into our hearts and have absolute knowing that we can move forward and make a difference (in our lives as well as others).  Live without regrets, move forward with peace.

                As Paul's letter to the Philippians 4:7 states, "May the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."  May this blessing reside in your heart today and may you be reminded of it in 2012 whenever you need it.  With God walking beside you, there is no failure.  Blessings of love and light; showered may you be in Christ Consciousness for 2012,

Message from a Dove

           I recently came across something I'd written back in 2005 when I was going through some major transformation. I had forgotten all about what I had written, but it released a recognition in my soul of where I was to how far I've come.
           I was at a point in my life where I was extremely stressed; did not allow anyone in my life to help me outside my immediate family and had come down with chronic fatigue syndrome. Being a single parent with a house & car payment as well as bills, I was too stubborn to quit the job I'd had for 12 years. It all pushed me to have to take a leave of absence because I thought I was at the point of having heart problems. I could hardly walk due to weakness, had to hang onto walls and was breathing heavily. I had gone through 4 years previous to this of only sleeping 2-1/2 to 3 hours every night. You can imagine the condition I was in. Toward the end of my 6 week leave of absence from work, I wrote the following:
       " I was stumped for any answers to anything I had questions to in my life.  I sat slouched in the kitchen chair at my mom's house twirling a big button on a string watching it wind up tightly then unravel.  I started relating my own thoughts to this button.  how tightly would I had been in my life, afraid to let anyone near to touch me or help me and yet, I had no clue where the fear came from.  Had I always felt so hurt all my life from the people I had met and the relationships I had been in?  Was it them who had done things to me or was it me that allowed them into my life?  While pondering these thoughts, I noticed a dove flew and landed on the ledge outside the window peering in at me, blinking her eyes while acting as if she was watching for my next thought.  She then slowly started walking back and forth as if guarding the window.  I stopped everything and concentrated on her. She stopped and looked me directly in the eyes.  I slowly placed the string and button down, moved out of my chair and knelt on the floor by the window.  She did not move her body, only her eyes to meet mine more intensely.  As I moved more into comfortable position to focus on her, she lowered her body, cocked her head sideways and held the gaze.  A small humming, but cooing type of sound came through the window.  It was soft, embracing and sent me into feeling of tranquility.  It was if she told me telepathically that I should become like her- trusting, soft, relaxed and embrace what life had to give to me.  I acknowledged her message, letting her know it was understood. She stopped the gaze, the cooing and flew off the windowsill and out of sight. I tried to follow her with my eyes and even ran to the back door to see if I could see where she went. After a few minutes I noticed the gift and message she left behind...a gift to me. There on the windowsill was a small egg covered by a feather. The gift symbolizing the growth of a new life yet to break through, a new life that would take flight. I just had to embrace it. "

    It makes so much sense that God would send me this kind of message. I am so happy that I acknowledged it, although I continued to go through up and down periods in my life, I now allow more help when I need it. I broke through the brick walls I hid behind and let whoever wanted to know me, know me. I am part of the God energy, here to share it. Why would I ever want to hide that? There is so much to give and so many blessings to receive in life. May you always listen to the messages that come to you in your life, whether big or small.

Rebirth

            Anyone who has ever watched a birth knows that at the beginning it's not a particularly pretty sight.  The person giving birth is experiencing a large amount of discomfort physically.  They get into the mode of feeling moody and/or want to be alone or try to cling onto others to help them through their pain.  They can feel that their body and life is going through a transformation of some sort.  During the actual birthing process;  there can be struggles, anxiety, worry, frustration, etc.. Someone who does not know what to expect, can go through many different emotions.  Ups and downs.

            I have recently experienced such type of transformation going on in my life, a re-birth of some sort. Like many others before me, I saw the pain and did not recognize that I was going through such a re-birth.  I stayed in the mode of being moody, feeling the discomfort all around while I was bucking the Universal Consciousness instead of going with the flow and allowing.

            God (Universal Consciousness) knows  how to handle everything.  As stated in A Course in Miracles, "If you knew who walks beside you on this path that you have chosen, fear would be impossible". If we only know and recognize it when it is approaching and do not go into panic mode, everything will work out OK. Yeah, I know, some days it seems like the end of the world and everything goes wrong, emotions run strong and you feel like no one is on your side, but tomorrow is another day. With God walking beside you and you letting God into your world and onto your path, you can experience a special kind of re-birth. A re-birth without pain, without anxiety, without worry and frustration.
            Do I still understand what is happening on my path at this time? No, not really.  I have turned it over to God to handle and recognize it as a re-birth. I am headed out the birth canal, but not struggling anymore. Going to flow with the amniotic fluid of life and wait for the light on the other side to see what's been created. As long as Universal Consciousness is with me, I know it has to be something beautiful.
Namaste' dear souls,

Feeling the effects

We are in the 9th wave now of collective consciousness & everyone is feeling the effects, both the harmonizing as well as the disruptions with ourselves and/or with others. Seeking balance with Universal life force will help to stabilize our emotions and feelings that we had to carry the thoughts and/or emotions of disharmony within ourselves in the first place. Forgive yourself for feeling that you had to hold this negativity in the first place, then let it go.....up and out into the void from which it came. Be one with Universal consciousness; harmonize & heal the world by sending out loving energy. Embrace this light, feeling and love energy. Know that going away from God only brings more of an unbalanced state, while embracing God will create the effect that we ARE ALL a part of this loving energy.
  Love & Namaste'

Absorb-va-tion

Absorb-va-tion

            What happens when you decide to go some place for the day or the night to “get away from it all”? What is happening in your mind? When you go to an amusement park for example, you are preparing yourself to be amused, to let go and be a child again, to forget your worries for awhile. Most of the other people are there for the same reason, to have fun! The energy all around you is high with excitement. People are running, smiling, laughing. You can let go and let a ride take you for a spin of excitement, you can refresh yourself with a swim or just sit back and watch the activities around you. It feels good to be in an atmosphere where you know you are going to experience fun. Your body as well as your mind (if you so choose) are absorbing this energy. Usually by the end of your “get away” you are tired; but you are usually relaxed, you sleep well because you allowed yourself to let go for awhile. Being in an energy field that you enjoy helps your body, mind and soul. Some people may find this feeling out in nature, others may find it on the dance floor, while others may find it in a place of worship. Where ever it is that you allow yourself to let go and be amused or be fulfilled in some way, you are absorbing good energy.

            Now think of what happens when you are some place where the energy is negative. You witness someone arguing or a fight breaking out. You become uneasy. You tense up. Some people can even feel it when they enter into an atmosphere before they even see or hear the negativity. It is because the energy that is being sent out is not in alignment with love or with God. Your body is also absorbing this energy. You may start to sense a feeling of anxiousness or nervousness. What about if this negativity is happening to you? How are you feeling then? If someone is angry with you and directing their anger toward you, it is felt in your body. You absorb it also.

            Before we enter into any new place we look around, we observe what is going on and our awareness is high. We listen to what is being said or how things are being said. We look at expressions on people’s faces. By observing things, we know whether we would feel comfortable in the new place and if we would accept being there.

            Now let’s think about doing the same thing where ever we go, but turn inward and tune into your feelings. Have absorb-va-tion. Know that if something or someone does not feel comfortable, then the energy is not in direct alignment with God or with love. Do you want to absorb this kind of energy? Ask yourself these questions? After I am with someone who is negative or who makes me feel negative, does this help my body, my mind and my soul? When I am in a situation again and again that I do not like, why am I feeling down, tired, discouraged, or anxious? It is due to absorbing the negativity. Think about these situations, be aware of when this is happening and feel what it is doing to you.

Namaste' dear souls,
