Dream-Weaving

Life unfolds in ways that are both mysterious as well as guided. We create our world through our key focus, and we are connected to greater cosmic influences within the narrative that unfolds. The dance we are here to Live cannot be precisely planned; we have to allow a breathing space for the mysterious as its part of our journey.   It’s a complex concept for many to grasp and accept as we tend to shy away from the intangible element of our existence. We lean towards thinking and try to define and confine rather than surrender and feel our way through Life. There is a grander schema we all play part of, regardless our beliefs or resistance to the mystical - its part of our cellular knowing. Our Existence ripples into the Universal sea and suffuses the field of all Consciousness.

If one considers the miracle of being born into here, one may be open to the idea of the enigmatic. Reflect upon the idea that we are made of star dust and we are here as extension of the Divine. If one reflects honestly upon this journey and ponders how many specific plans where precisely executed, one may be more open to the idea of the ethereal. As much as we like to know, plan, control and define - our Existence has boundless peripheral. We are larger than the sum of our Being-ness as we are inter-connected to a greater narrative. We are not here to be boxed in specific dimension; we are infinite capacity within the vast ocean of the Universe. We are co-creators and as much as we seek individuality we are here to; co-relate, collaborate, intimately share, see and be seen and most of all Love and Live through our Heart as our Guide.
We have an inclination to analyse the experience of this journey and tend to have an overactive mind, while our existence here is to be lived through the felt sense and the Heart – that is the path of the Soul. When one connects to the Heart Centre and let it lead - Life seems to flow like an exquisite melody. There is a profound sense of peace and knowing that infuses one’s Life when in that place. The Heart knows intimately the Truth of our Being. The facades fall away and the spirit has the freedom to sing one’s own unique harmony. Feeling the way through this journey brought me at a place where every unfolding moment seems like Music. Synchronicities flow into our field when Living through the Heart as its the language of the Universe, and in this space we can deeply connect with the Cosmos creative energy.
Living through a Centred Heart is a way that diverts us from residing in the maze of the mind and dissecting our existence. This does not suggest that the mind is disregarded, alas the mind follows the felt sense and it collaborates with the Heart rather than tries to control and restrict the infinite Spirit. One is guided by a felt sense that is centred within the Heart in a grounded body. It is not in dwelling in the ether neither as we are here to be fully Alive and intimately experience within the body. Some, unintentionally, understand the Spiritual path as a way of escaping Life, yet our existence, even if at times challenging, is a precious gift. We are here to live within a grounded body and serene mind, steered by unobstructed Heart, and Be-come an expression of the Divine.
When we shed the idea of knowing and controlling particular outcome, we open our field to the infinite possibilities within the Universal arena. We allow our Spirit to roam in its True kingdom and co-create the story we are unobstrustedly born into experiencing. The Universal plan is far greater than anything we can fathom or plan. We cannot simulate the synchronicities that show up when we are aligned within the Heart and open to the mystery of Cosmic collaboration. If we focus on a narrow view we may fail to see what is available within the greater field of our existence. There is an infinite sea of opportunities within the matrix of Life that is offered to us when we align within the Heart and embrace the vastness of our Being. As we create our legacy, we merge with the Cosmos and interweave the tapestry of Humanity.
May you permit a passageway between the vast Cosmos and your exquisite Spirit. May you accept fully the invitation of the Divine light you posses and share your whole Being with the world. May you find the courage to free your Self from limiting beliefs and Live through your Heart Centre.
Namaste

Wholeness

The healing journey is part of humans’ evolution and Life here on earth. Whether embraced whole heartedly, ignored for some time, or denied other times - it is always part of our path. We all bear wounds reflected through triggers and we all carry shadow material – both can be regarded as allies in the transformative process of healing. In order to deeply heal, all stirred feelings are to be acknowledged and embraced; giving them permission to be wholly and deeply sensed, and ultimately transmuted. Not a pretty nor a pleasant process, yet the only way to return to Wholeness.

Every human carries various degrees of shadow material, hurts and wounds that often have been established in ones formative years, or brought from past lives if one is so inclined to consider. Shadows have numerous ways to visit, invited or not - a shadow can come in many disguises and forms. Some shadows knock on ones door with blazing force, shaking the foundation of one’s Being; some are so familiar they feel like welcomed old friends; others more timid lure with a faint whisper. Uncovering ones wounds takes courage and it’s not a path to be pursued by the faint of heart. There may be resistance, judgments, and inner contradictions. There may be a part that denies, dismisses or disfranchises other parts of a Being. One may choose to participate in a myriad of escape methods, to only discover that whatever was there will come with relentless force and vengeance. Through the dark night of the soul one can choose to metamorphoses shadow material into lightness of Being. It’s not an easy process and it requires courage, perseverance and tenacity - and the outcome is eternal.

An indication a wound has surfaced and shadow material has been stirred is by anything that disturbs ones peace; a trigger can be noticed by a strong feeling, often accompanied by body reaction, or a need to react and hold ones position. Through an expansion of awareness, one is able to observe these moments and may choose to retreat. Reflection and exploration of the material that has surfaced allows an opening in the pathway to ones spirit. A healthy ritual that may prove valuable is to reflect on what surfaced for three days before responding, if at all necessary by that point. In this way one chooses a way of Being from a position of equilibrium.

If an emotion raises its head, especially with ruthless force, one would be wise to listen. Each of us connects more easily to one feeling or another; some connect with sadness, others with anger, some withdraw and some live in denial city for a time. Some humans that practice the spiritual path disfranchise certain emotions. I am familiar with that as I have been one of them at a junction within my path. My skewed vision, back then, established that anger was un-spiritual. We are meant to intimately feel all of the emotions as humans, not reject any of them. What one does with the emotions that surface demonstrates ones growth process. Working ‘through’ all emotions when any of them visit is the pathway to Wholesome Healing. Sitting with every emotion, with gentle acceptance compassion and patience, allows them to move through and transmute. When one goes through this process regardless any challenging emotions, in my experience one always returns back to forgiveness and Love.

Dishonoring some parts of one-self or judging other parts only reinforces them to vehemently push to the surface. We are here to embrace, accept and love all that we are at this precious moment. As humans, we are here to learn through all that we intimately experience within this amazing journey and our evolution never ceases. Everything within our journey has a reason, a lesson, an opportunity to expand our way of Being. The path of growth is often through healing and continues till we pass to the other side and into the next life until we reach Spirit energy form.

May you be gentle and kind with yourself as you pass through the alchemical fire and transmute your Way of Being.
