Blossoming Feminine Wisdom: Heart vs Mind

... by making quiet time in prayer and meditation to allow yourself hear its TRUE voice. Your mind will trick you into into believing that IT is your heart. We begin to hear the true voice of our heart by first loving and accepting ourselves unconditionally. Then, as part of the commitment to loving ourselves, we assist ourselves in the journey to know what the heart speaks by allowing the gift of the quiet time required to hear that TRUE voice - quiet prayer and meditation help us to light and honor the "God-Spark" within each of us.

My affirmation to myself this morning ...

... fanning the flame ...

Life has been busy and broken into a fast paced flow of intersecting situations that have been coming at her from everywhere at once. So many places to heal ...

Lined up outside the door is the line of many faces representing the areas in which she is required to heal. Each of these faces carries a message with it that she is required to receive with grace so that it may be accepted as part of allowing the full essence of who she is to emerge and to blossom.

She receives the messengers one by one and with the guidance of the Healing Council she assists with the integration of healing into each of these areas.

Occasionally, one of the messengers carries something they feel is so urgent that they storm the door, ignoring their place in line, breathlessly expressing a need that must be dealt with immediately.

The messengers voice and the message delivered raise alarm inside of her. A big one. There is a depth to this message that permeates all of her being. She knows this because she feels the little girl in her, her humanness, wanting to run and hide in the safety of the woods.

Wisdom, in her place at the center of the Council knows ... like she knows, like she knows, like she knows ... that all is well.

It is what it is.

It's all good.

Relax and be in the flow.

Strengthen your muscles.

Enjoy the ride.

Curious as to why the little girl is running she follows her for a bit assessing the best way to support her with love and divine guidance. She observes the layers of physical, emotional, mental and spiritual pain that the little girl travels though while she runs to the safety of her cocoon. Recognizing the essence of healing in each of them she returns to the present moment in the council chamber knowing what to do.

She thanks the messenger with a warm smile that carries the essence of a loving embrace. "Thank you for trusting your voice and delivering this message. I understand the urgency you brought with it. I will take care of this for you. Run now and be in Joy. Relax and be who you are. I will take care of this for you."

Satisfied, the messenger relaxes into the healing energy of council. She feels the shift. Preparing to release. Preparing to fly ...

She adds, "Please deliver a message to the faces outside the door that thanks them for their patience. I am honored to be a vessel through which the wisdom of healing can be integrated and I wish to honor each of their messages to the fullest with the same attention I am giving to the urgent message you just delivered. Tell them that I stand in gratitude for their patience."

Wisdom closes her eyes and with her breath receives the gifts of the message.

Tight at first ... Relax your shoulders and breathe ...

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh ... That's better ... In the feminine flow ...

What am I required to do?

...

I am afraid.

All is good. All is well. Enjoy the ride.

...

I am afraid.

...

She knows what she must do ... like she knows, like she knows, like she knows ... she has done this many times before.

The first step always requires the most courage ...

Corny as it may seem in comparison to today's music I must admit that I am a John Denver fan. Just something about that "Thank God I'm a Country Boy(Girl)!" feeling that gets me inspired and in touch with my roots ... many of his songs do, actually ...

I was listening to Sunshine On My Shoulders this morning and really felt and heard the words. I always love how I can hear songs over and over, know them by heart and then one day ... really hear/feel them and then know them in heart.

My shoulders are warm and I am happy. ;o) I am grateful for my incredible family and friends who love me unconditionally ... a fantastic job that assists me to nurture my artistic self and customers who enjoy those creative expressions ... and teachers, mentors and guides who encourage me to think outside the box and then assist me to trust in mySelf to know when and how to take action on those many out-of-the-box Ah-Ha! moments.

I love my life!

It’s ALL good. Enjoy the ride!

In gratitude for ALL of life’s gifts.
with love,
Lisa

It’s been nearly a year since my Blue Moon Affirmations where I set my intentions for the year … wow, time certainly flies … I am grateful for all of the gifts in my life that are assisting me to let go of who I currently know my Self to be and remember who I am. Like the dragonfly, I am transforming.



There are so many things to be grateful for that sometimes become so difficult to see in going about my daily life wrapped up in the many layers of who I think I am. Some days I observe that I am grateful for the hot water in the shower, which is always there on demand when I need it … I take my time and I allow my Self to really feel how nice it is to stand under it. Some days I barely recall the shower as I get caught up in following my mind doing what it does best - thinking.

When I am able to Be, I am not traveling on some past/future mind-trip yet I am allowing my Self to fully experience life in the moment for what it is. I become aware of just how much there is to be grateful for and of how everything … every person and every living thing … is connected. I begin to hear the voice of my soul just a bit stronger. It is the energy of gratitude that assists me to know me.

The more I allow my Self to let go of doing and simply be, the more me is revealed. It’s as though the experience of consciousness, however small a moment in time, unwraps a layer of paper revealing more and more of the gift that is my life.

From day to day, this unwrapping of the gift of my life sometimes happens so slowly that to me, it isn’t noticeable. Yet when I allow the energy of gratitude and change my perspective a bit, looking back over the past year reveals a blossoming that is measurable.

Although a very personal and solitary process, this blossoming does not occur in isolation from the world. I am filled with gratitude for the relationships that I have and the people who are and who will be a part my life. Every relationship, every interaction with another human being assists me to Be. Allowing the gifts in some relationships is effortless and in others a bit more challenging, yet no matter what the wrapping, they are all gifts.

It is truly wonderful to Be on this journey of life walking beside so many incredible giving, loving and affirming people. I am grateful for YOU! Thank you.

With love and Thanks-giving,
Lisa
