In the season of light

Tuesday, December 21st, 2010

Once again the Winter Solstice is here (for those of us in the northern hemisphere), and I am thinking about light.

Sure it’s pretty dark out there as I write this. (OK who am I kidding…its pitch black!) But the almost full moon will move into place soon, and if the clouds clear outside my door, we’ll get some light in the night sky.

Even on this short day, and all the darkness, I’m not really thinking about the dark. I’m thinking about the light.

As usual, I sat in meditation at the time of the Solstice. And without even looking up at the clock I knew when the actual Solstice was because I felt these amazing waves of vibration move through my body.

There was no mistake that there was an energetic event happening. It truly felt like waves of light.

That energy, right at that moment, had so much light held within it, that it felt as though it took what was in me  — in my heart— and carried it out into the Universe.

I’m always moved by the power of the Solstice. And in simply sitting in silent reflection and prayer as this powerful energy swept through me, I feel like a new opening has been created for what is to come.

Whether you felt all this energy at that time, or not, is not of concern. Whether you felt it or not…this energy swept in. I have no doubt that this light moved through each and every one of us. And with this energy, what is in your heart can be carried away as well.

Let it.

Let it carry away what is creating pain; and let it carry the message of what brings you joy and what you want to see move into form to the four corners of the Universe and beyond.

It’s not too late to let this energy do its thing. No matter where you are on the planet, this light is there. And, it is powerful.

So in this time of light — even on this darkest day for some — I wish for you what is in your heart.  May you expand into what is next as this light moves through.

Happy holidays.

Big week ahead. Are you on-board?

Sunday, December 19th, 2010

We’re gearing up for a big energy week. In addition to the holidays, we’ve got the Solstice, full moon and lunar eclipse. There is a palpable energy around all this…the quiet before the storm.

I don’t really feel a storm brewing, but I do feel powerful energies collecting to help propel people into what is next. And what is next is unique to each and every one of us as we travel along our own path.

If you sit quietly you can even begin to feel this. There is a sense of movement in this energy that is building prior to the Solstice that is getting people’s attention – even if you aren’t aware of energy.

It’s showing up as the inkling or desire to change. To heal some past wound, or change a life circumstance that has been holding you back. For those who have been sensing this, and making the connections to their own lives, it begs being listened to.

Now you don’t have to block off your day – or week – in order to pay attention to this. Just take a moment and tune in. The more you can tune into this energy, the more you will begin to understand what the energy holds for you.

My guess is that when you do, you’ll find something that really isn’t work for you anymore. You’ll find that thing (big or small) that has been hanging over you.  That thing which you may have been resisting – that requires you to make some change in your life.

Now seems to be the time to pay attention to what is on the horizon, and begin to take some action.

There is of course no wrong action here. If you don’t do anything, nobody will be grading you. Nobody is keeping tabs here, certainly not me.

But, for those who are ready, my sense of this energy right now is that it’s asking a deeper question of us; and that is “Are you on-board?”

Many of us have been on a roller coaster of personal and spiritual change over the last few years. Right now this thrilling ride has us tossing our arms up over our heads as we creep up the hill. Soon we’ll be feeling the rush of heading down the hill and around the next turn.

It feels that exciting to me. And it can be.

We each just need to decide if we are on board. Are we ready to make whatever changes we need right now to be or do things differently than we have been?  Are we ready to hold our thoughts accountable as they lead us to our next action? Are we ready to let go and follow the energy…let the ride take us even if we have no idea as of yet where that may be?

And if so, do we want to hang on for dear life, or throw our arms up and go with it?

This is what we are doing right now with all this energy available to us. We’re making those connections and making those decisions.

It’s big. So big, it’s worth looking at where you may be ready to step on-board and create something new for yourself.

A heart-felt Solstice

Tuesday, December 14th, 2010

The Solstice is drawing near, and as it does there’s an incredible amount of energy available for us, inviting us toward change.

We have the Solstice on December 21st (2010), as well as a full lunar eclipse that same day. And if that wasn’t enough, Mercury is retrograde right now through the end of the month.

What does all this mean?

Well, I’m an energy worker; I read energy. And the energy right now is pretty powerful.

It’s energy that, if willing, can open your heart and help you to recognize what is truly important to you as you move forward in the year to come.

To me, it feels like a pause — one of those pregnant pauses — that encourages us to make tidy and get ready for what will fill us up.

Mercury’s retrograde cycle is helping us to tidy up, clean house and get ready for the Solstice energy, and the information inherent in that, as we prepare to take another step — a big step — on our spiritual path.

For some, Mercury is asking you to re-visit and heal old wounds, fears and patterns as a way to create space for where you need to be next. And for others it has created some “down time,” so to speak, as a way to quiet the mind and create that “energetic space” needed for deep listening.

No matter how Mercury is speaking to you right now, if you are willing to be with your heart and listen, you’ll be guided toward what you need for your healing.

I think that is the real work…to be willing to sit and go within and really listen to your heart. So many of us are afraid of what the heart holds. The fear of pain is immense. Yet, in order to expand the heart, we must transform what is stagnant into something that flows. And when the heart flows, we then have the ability to hear what our Spirit wants and needs now…in this moment.

The Solstice and lunar eclipse later this month holds the potential to be a turning point for us to delve more deeply into who we are and what we want…and to connect to the energy to make it so. This is good, as it comes at a time when so many people are taking leaps of faith to create real changes in their lives. Changes that will support them in all ways.

It’s a powerful time of year, and energetically it feels so full of potency that if you are doing your work, you’re lining up to receive a blast of truly transformative energy. If the amount of space that is being created to hold this energetic “shift” is any indicator of how powerful it will be… this is gonna be good!

Don’t miss out. Do your inner work now. The only instruction you need to do that, is go within and listen to your heart. You’ll know what is next. ♥
