Dear Friends, Spring is here, regardless of what the weather says! It’s shining a light on what needs nurturing. It brings new beginnings and realizations, which creates spaces of beauty. With that also comes renewal, as the light grows brighter and the days longer, we move towards Summer Solstice, and more feelings of abundance, growth, and potential. Spring is the herald of this new reality of love, compassion, and beauty we are now in. I personally see and experience it every day. The more I hold compassion and love for myself, the more I experience and see its reflection in my outer world. At times, it feels like an emotional landslide. A realization that much of what we know is steadily falling away, like there is a bottomless pit of the unknown so far away, yet so near. Each day presents an opportunity to go inward and harmonize what the shadow has yet to reveal. Each of our shadows will reflect that aspect in our reality over and over, until we address and accept it. It is a part of us that we must also love. As I embrace this knowing and become the watcher, I create immense love in my heart for all aspects of myself. I transform rejections into lessons of beauty. What I am reflecting outward without awareness is what my soul seeks to heal. We must accept and embrace all our aspects, using the transformed low-vibrating emotion, turning it into compost, so it fuels and nourishes the new seeds of creation for even more beauty and peace. Like the seasons, this is an ongoing and natural cycle within us. When we do this inner gardening, the resulting harvest goes out into the world and makes a difference. It is felt. It is not easy during those times when we face conflict or adversity. It is so easy to blame the outside world and not take responsibility for our own emotions or feelings. We each have the power and the love inside of ourselves to keep striving for the best, and to nurture that love for ourselves. When we do the work, we can watch and see the magic garden of our souls unfold. At times, it may appear impossible to reach a place of calm, freedom, or love. Especially if you feel defeated, attacked or have a huge lack of energy due to pain or loss. Letting go of the old patterns and habits is not easy for the ego. We are running on memories of the past, of who we were in different timelines and realities, sending our energy into the abyss. On our soul level and in our higher-self knowing, we realize this and also that our present moments are here wanting our full engagement, and the only time that exists. Human beings are exposed to everything happening at once, past, present and future. The present only depends on where you put your focus and energy. Everyone wants to get to the finish line and speed up the process. That is not what the New Earth is about. We actually need to minimize in so many respects, and get back to simplicity and the basics. There is too much noise and too much information coming in, bombarding our energy fields. Many people are expecting quick solutions that require understanding and knowledge. They must reconcile this before moving on to the next event or experience. Each person has their own experience and journey to understand and know. It takes quite a commitment, and much patience to develop deep understandings with love, care, and wisdom to move forward on the journey. Quite often, within transformation and change, feelings of failure or shame pop up. Often, these feelings drain our energy, but are also just part of the journey; the pivotal piece that is ready to reveal the huge dream or creation we were asking for. When this happens, take time to assess. Become acutely aware of current feelings and emotions, then regroup to accept and allow. When we care for this part, we’ll move up the evolutionary spiral. Our souls know this; it is the ego that thinks it is serving us well in protection that may protest. The key to being in the moment is not about fixing, but aligning with acceptance. We lower resistance to allow what we have created into our field, to learn from and grow. When we align with the energy, we move into a new frequency. How we know this is happening is that, with the release and acceptance, often comes an overwhelming elation and joy in our hearts. There is a strong motivation and desire to continue, but to do so with even more confidence than before. Immense love for self emerges, and strong or potent opinions that we held fast to before quietly fade, so the next empowerment piece can take hold. Tips to begin with your Reiki Tools: Recycling Chakra year : The concept of "Recycling Chakra Years" (as described in Cyndi Dale's work). This is a time when individuals begin to cycle through the seven main chakras annually on their birthday, starting at age 14. This process proceeds in seven-year cycles, with the development of the seventh (crown) chakra beginning at age 14. The recycling of chakras 1 (Root) through 7 (Crown) occurs sequentially each year, focusing on the pieces relevant to the chakra currently being recycled. By age 56, an individual has gone through all developmental stages of chakras 1 through 12. Open-heart connection : Love for self through Reiki Practice of self-healing. Cho-ku-Rei: Awareness of the energy generated with this symbol and connecting it to Dainichi Nyorai. Sei-he-Ki Meditation: Clears the heart and mind, allowing the heart to open to receive. This also helps to transform bad habits and addictions. Cacao Daily Ritual: Enjoying a high-end, 100% pure grade cacao as a superfood with particular properties for our health. It also helps open our heart-mind to feel-good, loving emotions for self and others. Teachings and sessions are available if you wish to know more.
