Happy wonderful Monday, delicious lovelies! Are you ready to start a new week all full of vim, vigour and anticipation?
This last weekend was Grad for the high school here, so lots of wonderful young people got dressed up and were fully celebrated by their community. I love watching the ceremonies and seeing these wonderful teens in their suits and dresses as they tentatively step out and forward. However, I do have mixed emotions around this ceremony, a sadness that they are leaving their youth and entering out into the world and a joy that they are filled to the brim with ideas, anticipation, and a restless energy to go make their mark on the world.
So how are you going to make your mark on the world this week? What guidance do you need?
I invite you to pause for a moment and close your eyes and see, sense or feel that you are within your heart space. Imagine this as a beautiful space with a body of quiet reflective water and masses of sweeping willow trees dipping over the water’s edges. In this sacred space within your heart, you become aware of a Nyad sitting near the largest willow tree, her hair and robes gently moving in a light breeze. As she smiles at you and raises her hands in a healing mudra, a soft breeze of healing energy flows into your heart, helping you open and release. Allow her energy to flow through your heart gently dissolving any cord or attachment that is draining you. Intend that this light in your heart becomes like a white fire of energy, that flows down to your navel and infuses it with power, energy and vitality. Imagine cords snapping back into your energy field, no longer leaking your power out of your aura. Take another deep breath and gently close your hands together in prayer mudra at your heart centre and when you are ready slowly open your eyes.
So are you ready? Really?
GATES OF HEAVEN
All beings have an ultimate spiritual destiny of happiness and freedom. Beloved Kuan Yin shines tireless compassion upon all Life to this end. Yet sometimes attachments, lower vibrational beings, entities and elementals become frightened of divine love and believe they will do better to hid in human energy fields instead. This blocks progress towards liberation where human beings and lower vibrational beings can pass through the Gates of Heaven, into peace, bliss and homecoming to the spiritual Source of all Life. You may consciously sense attachments or spiritual presence that is not of highest vibration and needs to be released from your energy field or you may just feel angry, tired, depleted or “not yourself” sometimes. You may be holding onto some old energies that you need to release that do not belong to you, It is important that you keep your energy clean and clear and call back to yourself all parts of you, as leaving any part of you attached to another’s energy field out of fear is not going to help you grow anymore. The time has come to own your power.
THE LOTUS THRONE
The same Lotus wisdom that enlightens beloved Kuan Yin and all spiritual masters is the very same Lotus Light within your own heart. It can take great courage to trust your own inner light to ascend the throne of your own inner spiritual authority, especially if the light of others around you seems more powerful than your own. Trust your inner guidance above all others now. Have faith in your own heart. Know that you are divine. Trust that your own inner teacher is growing stronger, that you have more spiritual wisdom than you may have previously acknowledged and that you will benefit greatly from heeding your own heart’s guidance at this time. In your admirable willingness to be open, to learn and to grow, you are wise not to surrender your discernment. Does all guidance you have been following feel true in your heart? You are being asked to ascend to the Lotus Throne of your own divine Soul. Trust your courage. Your journey is taking you into spiritual maturity and you will need to acknowledge that you have spiritual authority within your own heart. Yes, you can learn from others, but always honour your inner teacher.
SOUND THE FIERCE FLUTE
Discernment empowers you to make choices that are aligned with your spiritual intentions. Like a fierce sounding flute cutting through all vibrations with purity and intent, your discernment allows you to stay true to your values and spiritual destiny, without getting caught up in distraction. If you wish to grow spiritually through love, joy, peace and abundance, then discerning between higher and lower vibrational choices is helpful. Discernment is not judgement. It does not render some things better or worse than others. It is the power of selection based on desire or intention. If we intend to grow through joy and adventure, rather than fear or suffering, then we can use our discernment to make choices that feel expansive and uplifting, rather than constrictive or draining.
Discernment is necessary in all realms of life from the physical to the spiritual. From the sort of lifestyle we choose to led, to the people we choose to spend time with or the ways that we spend most of our time, even the kinds of spiritual energies that we invoke, discerning choices help us craft our reality. A wise use of discernment helps us to be truthful, clear and accurate in our perception. With truth there are no “nasty surprises” later on,. We can ascertain what is real and what is false. Your discerning powers are growing and you are capable of greatest discernment when you listen to your heart and are able to let go of fear and shame which can cloud our perception. There is a situation in your life that you need to see from your heart rather than from appearances. Don’t be afraid to trust your own vision.
Have a wonderful week, be kind to yourself and remember to drop into your heart – it will never lead you in the wrong direction.
