Please Be Gentle With Me!

Has it already been almost a month since my last blog?  It is mind boggling how much has happened in the past few weeks.

One lesson I have learned is that I manifest my thoughts much faster these days.  So, my new mantra?  Please be gentle!

Since the end of February, I’ve gone through financial chaos, physical chaos, and emotional chaos.  Why?  Did I really ask for these things?  Actually, yes I did!  It is important to remember that our thoughts create our lives – both good and bad depending on perception.  Ah, but there really is not a good or bad, is there?  Again, depends on perception.  For instance, let’s talk about financial chaos first.  I have been receiving messages for the past year that it is time to move forward from being a massage therapist into an integrated counselor, teacher, and Lightworker.  I knew that it was certainly the time to move to what I was being called to do in my heart.  And . . . I kept letting Universe know that I knew it was time.  Of course, my logical self – ego – felt that it would happen the way It – my ego – wanted.  But my spiritual self and my connection to Source had already made the Universal order.  So, the wheels were set in motion.  And, I didn’t listen very well – even when my professional life became the classic Tower Card in a Tarot reading. I had the rug pulled right out from under me several times in the last months.  And still, I allowed my ego to go forward into the dark night.  All along, I continued to say, “I’m ready to make the change.”  So, here comes the 2×4 – the first one!  I was involved in a minor car accident that resulted in another whiplash for myself – rear end collision while we were stopped at a red light.  I had to cancel clients and some classes.  The x-rays showed slippage on a disc in my cervical spine, but, my gifted doctor also discovered a separation of the tendon that houses the ulnar/radial nerve in my left arm – exactly the hand that goes numb and gives pain after working on several – now a single – deep tissue client in a day.  I was to take it easy for a few weeks to heal.  Well, a girl has to make a living right?  So, I continued to see clients – icing and wearing a splint between clients.  Yeah, that should do it, huh?  So, another 2×4 – the flu!  Now, I hardly get sick and when I do, my immune system kicks in quickly.  Noooo, not this time.  Completely put me to bed!  So, I had to take time off.  Results?  Financial chaos – physical chaos – emotional chaos.  Spirit forcing me to take time.  So, I did – no choice, actually!

During this time, I have been undergoing tremendous internal spiritual processing.  It started when a mentor I trusted completely betrayed my trust on every level.  I was forced to go within and really search where I was going in my spiritual and professional life.  So, I took the time off to really ask Spirit to give me clarity and vision on my next steps.

I have been given such visions during this time.  Holy Mother has directly talked to me and shown me things.  I have met the dark side of my psyche and learned how important it is to integrate both the dark and light.  I have been shown how important it is to go within and really listen in silence to what I am being told.  She has given me insights into where my next steps are.  So now?

Well, I am in financial recovery and physical recovery and emotional recovery.  Spiritually, I really wasn’t in chaos – just needed to take time to listen better.  The physical and financial will take some time – not long, though.  I am a tremendous manifestor – of that I am sure!  My body is mending very nicely – I do have a way to go with my neck, but as my true voice is heard louder and clearer, that will mend as well.  Emotionally?  Well, I am always one for embracing my emotions as they come.  And that I do.  You see, by embracing my emotions I can really become the observer responding to situations instead of reacting.  This way, I work through events quicker and much healthier.  Spiritually – all I can say is that my path is clearer and my purpose and calling are clearer.  Of course, it is a journey and as my friend, Harmony, says, “It’s all about the journey!”  Sorry, my friend – I had to use it.  But it is well worth it.

As we move forward through this year and the changes that are coming, one constant remains!  We are not alone on this ride.  We have a full team of spiritual and physical allies to help us through.  One thing I ask my guides now is:

Please be gentle with me!

Blessings in Love and Light!

The Three Levels of Speech

Greetings in Light!

I was sitting on my sofa early this morning, cup of coffee in hand, and laptop on the arm of the sofa.  As I was watching the sunrise – my front window faces east – I enjoyed the quiet silence.  This is my favorite time of the day.  All are asleep, the world is in that hush place.  I hear the soft breathing of my family and at this time of the morning, all is well!

In these early morning hours, I use this time to connect with my Soul Team and Guides and ask them to assist me in this process of living in the 3D world.   I closed my eyes and listened.  I was surprised when I was told to open the laptop and go on Facebook.  “Really?” I said.  I, frankly, was expecting some other kind of message.  But, I followed the message and opened the laptop to Facebook.  I wasn’t sure what I was supposed to find there, so I starting surfing postings by people I know, people I don’t know, and other various groups.  I saw posts of shared loved – some dear friends of mine just exchanged rings.  I saw posts of anger.  I saw posts from all kinds of people in all forms and fashions.  I was led to a page  that led me to a Sufi website.

I have not explored this spiritual path of Sufism.  I have a beautiful client and friend whose parents were Sufi and she was raised as a Sufi.  Her parents have transitioned over, but I remember the calm and peace they always carried and the love that they shared with each other.  I also remember that they seemed to have a beautiful radiant light about them that wasn’t present in others.  My friend doesn’t really practice much now, but still holds to the teachings.  I have not explored much in this belief, but recognized it as one that seems to bring peace and calm to those that practice it.  This isn’t my first exposure to Sufism.  The 7-11 down the street is owned by a beautiful family that has asked me time and again if I have heard of Sufism.  I shy away from organized religions, so I politely said yes and went on my way.  But, here this page was right in my face.  So, I started reading.

I have had challenges and patterns that crop up now and then dealing with communication – particularly in standing up for myself and speaking my truth.  And, I have been attempting to navigate this whole process since it seems that it has come up for me in a large way lately.  It’s been so painful, but yet, I feel I am in my Truth and I know that it is part of my growth and Ascension process – a lesson that has to be mastered here in this life.

Well, here is what I found.  I love Spirit – She opens my eyes to what I need to know and understand.  I will share this with my students and have included this in a chapter of my new book.   I hope it speaks to you the way it spoke to me.

“Speech is of three kinds:  The first comes from the desire of the self; the second from reason and the third from love.

Speech which arises from desire is troubling and insipid, giving neither pleasure to those who speak, nor profit to those who listen.

That which arises from reason is accepted by the wise and gives pleasure to the listener and the speaker,

and speech that arises from love enraptures those who listen and those who speak.”

Excerpt from the Menaqib al-Arifin, words of Mevlana Rumi from The Stories of the Wise of the Mevlevi Tradition, #414.

I intend to read these words often and put them in my heart and share them with those that are around me.

Always in Love and Light,
