As the year ends, I find all the typical impulses rise up…
I want to examine all that’s left undone, and think about all I could be doing to kick off the Year,
in hopes of finding a magic moment to usher in something different, and better…
And instead, I choose differently…
I choose to take the journey into the depths of the eternal core…
Here I sense the larger, on-going rituals and rhythms…a universe of endings and beginnings, and a new circuit around our sun star…
And I find what I’m most looking for here…
It’s the blessing, and a meditation, I most want to share with you.
It begins with taking a slow, deep breath…
Then exhale all the busyness of the mind…
Inhale deeply, and allow the breath to usher in nourishing new life…
On another deep breath, sense the quiet underneath it all…
With another breath, softly open your heart, and listen deeply…
There is so much coming and going, and yet,
Sense how underneath it all is a vast and infinite silence
And a spaciousness of Heart that holds it all in balance…
Here we can surrender, rest, and trust again…
Take this precious quiet time to listen to your heart,
to meditate, and just be… and let all the wild movement, and turnings, be…
Sense, Renewal is happening.
There is always a return of the light.
Spring always comes again.
You also, are a natural life force constantly being reborn every season, and every moment.
With wisdom and an open heart, the personal challenges begin to show us our resilient spirit.
In turn we can learn to hold powerful space for the challenges of the world, now with compassion, and a deep respect for the personal journeys we are each called to.
And in this heart connection, we are stronger. We can begin the true work of mending the broken places.
While the news often features the worst fears of humanity, there are a billion acts of human goodness continually happening every single day!
Our fears and terrors can be activated by the incoming media, the opinions of others… but they are not who we are.
Take another breath and sense this Truth.
Take another breath and align yourself with openness.
Find freedom beyond our attachments to it all…
Feel the stirrings of compassion through your heart,
let it reach yourself, and these places of fear.
And in the deep background of silence, sense your emerging Light.
We are consciousness having the ride of our own choosing through life…
How will you use your powerful, creative, life force in this new cycle?
Where will you shine your focus?
Aligning with Love and compassion is the highest of intentions, not only for others, but for yourself.
But first, to access these higher intentions, we must move beyond the mind…
And let Love move through the Great Heart Space, into your connections, and through your life…
This is the real dance…
Use your creative force to foster understanding, Love and awakening…
But first, the most powerful shift, always, always, begins within…
This is the ultimate, transformative journey I hope you experience… again and again…
the inner-awakening to the depths of your own love.
A very blessed New Year to you, dear friend.
