Energy Musings. Here. Now.

The Weekend Report.

Your Authentic self shines behind the clouded sky.  A blanket of grey, like a dusty lens, covers the clarity you seek.  Its only a matter of cleaning a small place to see through, a before you can get a glimpse of the work of your soul.  But when we clear off just one small spot in the midst of  a large dusty surface, it can quickly become consumed again.

This weekend, find a moment to cleanse an area of  your awareness.  There are many ways to do this:  meditation, coaching, yoga, QiGong, art.  You might choose where you go and what you do to “clear your mind”.  From that “clear mind” place, pay attention to what you notice.  This is but a partial view what and who you really are.  And an important starting point.

The question is:  will you remember it the next day? And the day after?   or rather:  HOW will you remember it the next day?  And the day after?!

This is a place for you to be creative and playful.  Write it in a journal, compose a song, make a picture, call your best friend, put sticky notes on your computer.  Find something you do every day anyhow, and add a reminder to the activity.  For example:  I light a candle each evening before going to bed. If I put a beautiful note right next to my candle with my insights, I will see and read it every night.  Then remembering becomes part of my evening ritual.

Eventually, you will be ready to clear more of the lens, take a bigger look: see more, be more.    For now, start with a peek, and let it in.

Energy Musings. Here. Now.

Today!!!

Clear a pathway, just one pathway, to something, someplace, someone today.  It might be a small corner of your desk so you have a better view through a window, or perhaps raking an area in your backyard, or maybe even just sweeping a hallway in your home?  It could be a phone call or conversation that needs to happen to clear the air. You can even clear a pathway in your mind using your breath. Or in your body, using dance.  Or clear a pathway  in your work, focusing your time and energy on a project.  There are many ways to consider “clearing a pathway”.

Each perception is just a lens that helps us see more clearly. Remember there are always multiple perspectives at play simultaneously.  It can be overwhelming and confusing to try to think of all these perspectives all at once,  but if you pick one lens to see through clearly, all the other implications and areas will be impacted as well.  Its just about getting started and following through with your intention.

Today, look for a pathway to be cleared. A way to get from point A to point B.  And then, with focus and attention, walk mindfully down the path you have created, and see what is there for you.

Energy Musings.  Here.  Now.

Today.

Collect the debris in your field, your surroundings, and throw it away!  This kind of spring cleaning requires you to look around you and within you for the ‘trash’ you may be carrying.  Someone else’s baggage (literally or figuratively) perhaps?  Let it go.  Move on.  Get rid of it!

In community, or alone, find the time and space to clear out what no longer is needed.  This could be picking up trash around your property, emptying the trash in your house, or more deeply, releasing your own toxins be they physical, mental, emotional, spiritual or other.

With a joyous heart, allow yourself the time and space to make some room for what it is that is trying to grow, to bud, to blossom, around you.

Time to get to work!

Energy Musings.  Here. Now.

Today!

New Moon on Monday!  Theres an amplification in the air.  Asking you to look at the “stuck” places in your being, in your body, in your mind, in your life, in your home, in your relationships, in your work, in it ALL.

Its a bit of an organic process. Noticing one holding pattern, seeing it reflected somewhere else and asking yourself where and how you can best shift it.  If you can find these places on and in the physical body, down to the most subtle sensations, and shift them their,  that shift will ripple out from the inside and subsequently shift the places where it is magnified and represented outside you.  But this requires intense personal work.  On a very deep, engaged, discerning and skilled level.  When this level of work is not apparent or appropriate, we begin to look around and see where we can ‘unstick’.

Sometimes you might just have to dig in the dirt. Move it, toss it, aerate it, free it up to receive oxygen.  Then notice in your body what you register. Release.

Sometimes you might need to build a fire.  Gather wood, build a structure, set it ablaze and watch the transmutation of one form into another.  Then notice in your body what you register.  Let Go.

sometimes you need to rake leaves, plant seeds, move furniture, clean the house, make art, scrub the sink, climb a tree….

If you don’t know what to do, look around with the question “what is stuck”?  It might show up as very literal, glaringly obvious, quite subtle or totally metaphorical.  But its there, its there.

Take some quiet time today to find that stuck place that is asking for your help.  Listen. Listen.  And then, with the dark moon as your ally, let it go.  Then give yourself time to notice the changes that will begin to unfold for you moving forward.

Energy Musing.  Here. Now.

Today.

Push the re-start button.  Reboot, upgrade, start over.  Breathe it in and let it go.  Its truly time to clear the slate. Your personal slate.  Your INNER slate.  Your being.  Your network.

In the coming week , clean out your energetic, emotional and also physical (!) closets.  Sweep the corners, dust the shelves.  Keep it light and fun, maybe even silly. With each and every exhale, remember to let go.  Let go of your hooks, lines, sinkers.  Let go of the places you need to feel that you are “right”.  Let go of your old stories.  Let go of who you think you are,  what you think you need to prove it to, who you need to convince.

You can come back to those things AFTER you have cleared, cleansed, rebooted, upgraded.  For now however, you must let it all go to allow the proper integration and alignment to occur.  In particular this means:  let go of your conspiracy theories (even if you don’t see them as such), let go of your blame (even if you think its justified), let go of the stories of your life (even if you think they have made you who you are), let go of your fear (even if you are afraid to), let go of your need to be right (even if you are), let go of inflammatory language (even if you feel very passionate), let go of judgement, hatred, anger, greed, and then… let go some more.  Most important, let go of your Attachment.

Its not forever, this letting go.  Its like taking all the dishes off your shelf so you can dust and clean the shelf. Then when you put the dishes back, one by one , you might decide you don’t need as many,or one has a crack and needs to be thrown away, or another needs to be repaired.

Maybe today, start with one closet, or drawer, or corner, or small shelf, or edge of a table.  Look inside, and see what needs to be cleaned.

Energy Musings.  Here. Now.

Today!

Its hard not to talk about the upcoming election and its current energetic impact on the area and the country.  Many of us are tired of it. Ready for it be over.  Totally Done.  We have stopped reading the tweets, the posts, the emails, the letters.  Stopped listening to the radio, the talk shows, the comedy shows, the rants, the pleas.  And at a certain point, it is necessary to say “Enough“.  You have the information you need to decide for yourself what should happen and what it is that you might personally need to do or contribute.  Know that and let everything else go.

As you come to that place, re-inforcing your personal perimeter, creating a protective shield around you, remember that the influence of the election is still out there.  Watch you health and keep yourself clear.  This will become increasingly important over the next few days.  Do what you need to do to Ground yourself and just keep clearing your field.

Get plenty of sleep, eat well, move your body, get out in nature, breathe consciously, meditate, read your favorite piece of fiction, make art, play with your kids, drink tea, nurture yourself, call a friend, fill yourself and fill yourself some more.  Notice the situations and people and places that drain you and just stay away from them for now.  Notice the situations and people and places that fill you and anchor in there.  Its time to start the healing process. To get a jumpstart on it NOW.

Be well Everyone.  And take care of YOU.

peace
