Sending solstice blessings | Curated post

We join together on December 21 to celebrate the solstice.

I have been receiving so many communications from people all over the world. We all knew the planet was going through a huge initiation. And initiations are designed to be perilous to wear down the ego, mind, and body so that we awaken our inner spiritual fire that already knows how to create the necessary changes for all of life to survive. But what so many spiritual practitioners are realizing is that no matter how much spiritual work we are all doing we will be riding turbulent waves and going through the initiation together.

In my January 2018 Transmutation News on www.sandraingerman.com I wrote (not yet posted) about the issue of many of us in the spiritual community wanting to see a “win” on moving through the current challenges we all face everywhere in the world. The true nature of initiations is more like preparing a slow cooked meal.

We cannot use the power of our mind or physical body to muscle through to the next evolution of consciousness.

Depending on where you live you are flowing into winter or summer. And nature is such a great teacher about how to flow with change. For everything in nature is in constant movement. Storms, seasons, lunar cycles, and growth impact our life on a daily basis. And once we connect with nature’s flow we connect with our own internal flow and walk moving gracefully with the flow of life.
This solstice spend time in nature, and see if you can awaken your own inner flow. Spending time in nature is so healing to you and all of life as you feed the web of life with your dreams, love, and light.
You can drum, rattle, chant, and dance. But most of all be present to the gift that nature brings to you every minute of your waking life.

Feel the sun shining on your face. If the sun is not out and shining brightly imagine the warmth of the sun bringing a glow to your face. Share your gratitude with the living being we call Sun. Reach down and feel the texture of the earth you are standing on. Stand for awhile on the earth swaying or gently rocking back and forth as you find your inner flow connecting with earth where you live. Give thanks for all Earth provides for you physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Bless the wind as it caresses you. Thank Air for bringing you life and being an ongoing companion with each breath in and out. If you can visit a body of water please do so. If not work with water in your home. Radiate your inner light to any water you can be with. You can radiate light focusing on a bowl of water and then feed it to a local body of water or to the earth. Planet Earth is a water planet, and you are a being of water too. Water flows within and without effortlessly always in the flow of movement of returning to Source – the great sea. You would not be alive without water. Please give Water your heartfelt thanks.
As you do this notice how your body connects to the change in season. The change impacts our inner and outer world.

We will all continue to experience the dissolving of so many layers of old unhealthy patterns and ways of behaving in the world. But you will always be able to trust your inner spirit to hold you and propel into a new and healthy state.

The key is to keep diving deeper into your own inherent strength. As you continue your ceremonial work and your spiritual practices you will notice organic changes over time. The organic next stage of our process will happen over time. We must be willing to understand what we planted in our inner and outer garden that have come to fruition. It is time for us to return to our destiny of being great gardeners within and without on this great Earth. Take the time to examine your inner garden and explore what you seeds you need plant to nurture and love yourself. And then explore what seeds you need to plant to nurture all of life and the Earth. Watching gardens grow through both storms and beautiful weather is inspiring. Gardens grow organically.

The only changes we will see in our inner and outer world are due to the seeds that you plant and nurture. And all gardeners know that growth happens in an organic process in the right time for the plant to germinate and blossom into great beauty.

Whether you are in entering into winter or summer there are always ways to nurture your inner garden. Disconnect from the toxic energies being spewed into the collective. Listen to some soothing music and travel within. That is where you will find peace, rich soil to plant in, and the fire of spirit will light your way. This is such an important practice for all of us to do right now. For spirit will guide us if you let it lead. But most of us are trying to think our ways out of the challenges we are facing. And for tens of thousands of years those who have come before us have taught that by awakening your inner fire you can walk through any challenge.

May you find inner peace by resting in your spirit as we welcome in the solstice. And may we greet each day with curiosity and wonder of all the beauty we can plant into our collective while what no longer serves us dissolves away just like waves dissolve away all the old images, feelings, debris left in the sand. Nothing is permanent. Remember that. Trust yourself. Your spirit knows. Go deeper and you will find all you are searching for lies within.

Sending solstice blessings!

a spiritual journey has nothing to do with living a triggered-free existence

 

"When it’s not against the rules to be hurt, heartbroken, or irritated by the unconsciousness of others, you’ll be surprised to notice how less often unconsciousness triggers you. As long as your goal is to not be triggered, you are unknowingly moving away from your true nature of innocent vulnerability. When this occurs, you are bound to discover more tumultuous circumstances to blame for the reactions that no one was ever born to control. No matter how desperately you attempt to control your experience, you are bound to recognize the fact that a spiritual journey has nothing to do with living a triggered-free existence. Instead, it is an inward journey home that is fueled by how willing you are to recognize each precious reaction, as an opportunity to love in yourself what is being transformed throughout the hearts of all." 
- Matt Kahn

You become more focused on your own individual paths | curated post

 

 

Dear Ones, as you continue along your enlightenment journey and understand that the process is about stepping into your authentic power and coming home to your own divine mastery, the way you help people will change.

Rather than repeatedly rescuing others, or telling them what to do, you will begin encouraging others to step into their own power and mastery by connecting with their own truth and wisdom. You will honour their decisions and choices as completely capable souls that are experts on their own path. You will know when to step forward to help if they ask for assistance and need an extra hand, but as soon as they can find their own balance you will release them to their own capable care. You will encourage them to make decisions based on what feels right and empowered for them.

This will profoundly shift the way you interact with others, as well as how you parent, teach, and inspire others. This will help create healthier connection because you will be a safe person to connect with due to your unconditional love, encouragement, and acceptance. This will support healthier boundaries and growth for all. Because you are no longer interfering or enabling, resentments will heal. What is accepted as love will shift into much healthier expressions of caring and support.

As you start to recognize each other as sovereign beings, regardless of how you may be expressing yourselves at any given time, you start to feel freer to express yourselves and move beyond judgment. You become more focused on your own individual paths, and yet are completely willing to step forward in loving service if it is required in times of crisis. You embrace the flow and intuitively step forward or back in whatever ways are for everyone’s highest good. This is the embodiment of becoming guides on earth.

Some people claim solitude is what is necessary to move fully forward into their truth and authenticity. Others claim that connection is what the goal is. We would say depending on what your individual needs are at any given point on your spiritual path, both are true.

Many people, when they first start their awakening process, feel a deep need to withdraw. This allows them the time to connect within, align with Source, and to create a safe space for healing and transformation to occur. Many people well on their spiritual journey frequently need to move into solitude to recharge their batteries, to integrate energies, and to nurture whatever their specific needs are at that time. A great many empaths withdraw to learn how to gain mastery with energetics so that connection without discomfort can become possible.

For many, once a period of solitude, growth, and healing has occurred, there is an urge to step back out into the world and into relationship with others that is deeper and more profound than ever before. They have come to a place of acceptance and unconditional love from their sabbatical and wish to start to practice that with others. They are ready to take connection to the next level. And many will find a combination of solitude and connection that works for them to create balance in their lives.

Dear Ones, there is no right or wrong when it comes to your spiritual path based on some specific model that must be followed. There is a natural ebb and flow that occurs, all designed to meet your individual soul’s needs. You are the expert on your own unique path. Listen to what your soul is yearning for. Don’t make yourself wrong based on what works for others, or what others say you should be doing. If it doesn’t feel right for you, it’s not what you need in that right now moment.

Allow yourself to be the expert on you and know that if you are feeling drawn to something it is because it is exactly what you require. Acceptance and respect for yourself and for others, regardless of what phase they may be in, and acknowledging the fact that
everyone is a master in their own right, is an important aspect of the new energies, and essential to the pioneering and self expression you are all moving into. Let your heart and your inner wisdom lead the way because it’s all love.

~Archangel Gabriel through Shelley Young

the threshold of your own mind

“No man can reveal to you aught but that which already lies half asleep in the dawning of your knowledge.
The teacher who walks in the shadow of the temple, among his followers, gives not of his wisdom but rather of his faith and his lovingness.
If he is indeed wise he does not bid you enter the house of his wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of your own mind.”
― Khalil Gibran, The Prophet

such stripping away of all that you knew

Do not feel you are a victim of all the energetic change occurring. Oh no. Remember you chose this and we say this to you with affection for we understand how difficult it can be to remember that. It can be very difficult as a human to experience such pain, such heartbreak, such stripping away of all that you knew. It can be difficult to maintain your understanding of the truth of what is going on. But choose to remember. Remembering makes everything easier, makes everything faster.

You’re all very powerful intuitively, but you are all also afraid of the level of intuitive power you have. It is not surprising for allowing that level of intuition into your lives will cause energetic shifts in your body. It will cause you to feel different. It will cause you to see the world differently, but that is wonderful. It will make you more whole.

~~Zachary through Lee Harris, from Personal Power

everyone can shift their consciousness in an instant

"Remember that anyone and everyone can shift their consciousness in an instant. Think back to how you used to perceive the world/your reality, stuck in the victim perpetrator mindset, and let yourself remember your own evolution. For some of you it was gradual, for some of you it was instantaneous. For all of you the physical actualization of your shift is an ongoing process that currently seems to be playing out along a linear format of time. It's not really linear, of course, but it seems that way."

I know that you are tired, my love

I know that you are tired, my love…..and sometimes you may become disheartened with your Earth Plane existence. Please remember that you are never alone. The Universe has an almost imperceptible way of moving that will bring about the perfect changes at the perfect time. It may be challenging for you to understand and even more so to accept, but know that you are always lovingly cradled in My Arms and that all will be well.

You were the one who left Yourself

"You were the one who left Yourself
You were the one who hurt You
You were the one who held a grudge against yourself the whole time
You were the one running from You.
This is the spiritual truth of the twin flame connection.
This is the perfect imperfection of the twin flame relationship."
- Cassady Cayne

I like to believe this is true, because it gives a different perspective on the run of the mill drama and trauma.

Relationships can be so difficult. Relating to people can be difficult.

Today, I felt like an alien whilst commuting on the rail replacement service from Morden to Stockwell.

I'm still thinking of him with the fondness I felt at the beginning, when we were BOTH into each other. Some of the resentment has washed away since last weekend, because I burned a stick that represented all the crap in my life I wanted to burn away for good.

Let's hope the decorated, shiny stick (which was also burnt) brings in much goodness.

But, in all honesty, I still miss him. I still pray that we will one day become functional friends, even if we can't become partners. Like grown up friends. Or else, it would be so miraculous for me to ask God if I can ask to transfer my affection and deep longing and connection with him for some other soul more willing to be a more conscious, courageous and authentic man.

I read another article, one that actually explained a lot about my own situation.

https://gangstagoddesses.com/twin-flame-is-in-a-romantic-relationship-with-someone-else-is-it-over/

Most twin flames haven't even had sex with one another, because the bond is firstly on a soul fabric level, that high intensity of love isn't found in the sacral it is found in our pores, in the crown and in the heart.

It is pure, without all the facades we created in our human lives.

It takes a LOT of soul growth and HEALING for BOTH twins before they can sustain the sexual energy, and in my case, it didn't happen even though I felt so much love and sexual desire for him. I was too afraid to meet him. Now I know why.

What is interesting and something I now can admit without any ego, is that he recognised me first. He saw me first, recognised me and came to me first. I recognised him after two weeks, or a month or so. And then I remained steadfast in that recognition, whereas he swerved and found another to bring him the peace and love, the recognition (and sanity) that he desired.

And now, all I face is silence from him, and from my cousin, and from my former colleague.

Yet my mind is still loud and raucous with their voices, and with their words.

I pray we each of us heal from this really debilitating and disempowering disease of nostalgia and pining away for the past.

See, even as I write this and express the truth of my current emotional state, my left lower back is in pain in recognition of this disempowerment that needs healing.

If I am invisible and rejected when I no longer serve a purpose in these mens' lives, so be it.

I am still worthy as a creation of God. If they can't recognise my worth, it is because they are focussed on their own lives and their own wives, and that's okay.

I don't have those distractions in my own life.

There is a reason for that. It is easier to self correct, to grow and to purify when you are alone, when your needs are yet to be met.

When ones needs are met, the human being becomes slightly lazy and less dedicated in their quest for divine experiences.

Plus they are uncovering the core, bare bones of my rejection and abandonment wounds, and when I am strong enough, I shall place them in shamanic stones, paint them and own these wounds to help others, in my mesa cloth.

On a funnier note, I have been tempted every single time I had contacted him (or when he slipped up in May 207 and contacted me) to send him this image below, but I knew he wouldn't take it as lightheartedly as I wanted him to. It cracks me up that Muslims can be so hilarious. I wish I could make friends with them, but that's showing another wound relating to my inability to make or maintain friendships due to alien reasons :p

your wings drop off

When you have indulged a lust, your wing drops off;
you become lame, abandoned by a fantasy.
People fancy they are enjoying themselves,
but they are really tearing out their wings for the sake of an illusion.

- Jalaluddin Rumi

it is in dying that we are born

Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love,
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
And where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved, as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive,
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
― St. Francis of Assisi
