Express Yourself

In every moment that you follow your heart and express yourself freely, you are opening the door for others to do the same.  You are showing them a window into their own soul and stirring within them that part that says 'Hey, I want to be me!'.  You are, through your own expression of freedom, of authenticity, an inspiration. And how many you will affect through the simple acts of being and expressing YOU, you may never know, but in the essence of authenticity, you are honoring the spirit of truth in all.

So, the next time you doubt, or turn away from honoring yourself- think of your child's watchful eyes and the little one that's learning either to be something he's not or shine in full-glory truth.  Think of your neighbor, who really needed 'permission' to bust out of the box and be full-color.  Think of that certain someone that fate brings your way through perfect synchronicity who really needed that message more than anything that day- the one that said 'You are so beautiful exactly as you are, and the more you shine, the more radiant you are for all to see'.  And know that through your expression ( through letting your own self shine) you are activating, liberating, and penetrating the wall of illusion within others, and ( in your own small way) just by being you, you are setting them free.

Sometimes we hesitate most in doing things for ourselves, We self-sabotage.  We can tend to be our own worst enemies,  But most feel called to do for another, are more generous of themselves in this way.  And so, I offer this as a bit of insight that provides somewhat of a detour to get where you're going- to get to the other side of yourself and to go around that part of you that stands in your way.  Because, more often, (at this stage anyway) we'll do more for another than we will for ourselves. 

Ultimately, it's all about self-love, about choosing from a highest place in order to honor your self, in order to walk with God, and that absolutely ripples out.  But for now, if it inspires you more to know how powerfully you can ( and do ) affect others through your doing/being and you are motivated to shine in the name of leading the way, in the name of all of the ways that you will liberate the world around you each time you do, then bring this forward as a truth, and allow it to set your own soul free as you go.

So, just by doing this one simple thing today, just by being you in your own unique and special way, you could inspire a thousand soul smiles! Think of the ripple effect and how each one you affect affects 20 more.  What if that's what life is really about?!


Be the FLOW!

Beyond

Give yourself permission to lift the tariff.
Release the imposed taxes you put upon yourself that say you 'can't'.
Let go of that part that says you can't be, say, do whatever you need to.
Remove the black and white, the man-made rules that implement the hands-tied phenomenon.
Remember, on a deep enough level that you live it, that there is enough. Enough time, energy, abundance.  Enough love.  Enough of everything to go around, and that you have total access to it all, always, and right now.
You have, right within your fingertips, right within your heart, everything you need.
Release the need to care about what anyone thinks.
Release the limitations, the judgments, the guidelines, the overlays, the dramas to play into, and just be.
Just for today.  Just for right now. And then a little more as you're ready.
You hold the key.
You are the ever-lasting.
And everything and everyone is all perfectly aligned for you to breath into the most infinite possibilities of the greatest You you could ever imagine.
Paint your masterpiece, the masterpiece of you, as you go.  One stroke at a time. And watch the beauty unfold.
There is no need to make anything different. But as you begin to see things differently, so too will shift your world, and your experience.
Until this life that you are living begins to form into greatness, into vastness.
And everything you thought was important, like coloring within the lines and playing it safe, become silly to you in a way that you would not have imagined just a short time before.
Within, there are no borders or boundaries.
Within becomes without, becomes your whole world, your whole experience, as you begin to shake away what no longer serves and step beyond the veil.
Beyond is where you long to be. It is the place that dreams are made of and peace resides.
Taste the bliss of residence in the eternal by setting yourself free from what confines you, from what distracts you from your hearts desire and deters you from the kiss of joy.
One step now will bring you closer. 
And in the next moment, you can drink in another sip, washing away the need for the illusion. Clearing from your eyes the mist of a long-ago story that is ready to be transformed into a fairytale from fable.
And you become, just a little more aligned, just a little more content, just a little more your Self.
And this is a gift, that you have gifted you...in the moment that you choose another way.



Be love.

New Operating Instructions: Human Being/Doing

There was a time when making your life happen by ‘doing’ was the way.  After a time of realizing that really wasn’t working, we moved to a time of Being, of allowing, of ‘letting go’ and ‘letting God’ - a time of surrender.  In this time, we learned about stillness, about flow, about co-creating with a higher source, about synchronicity, and about faith in the unknown.

The tides are changing once again though, and that fire that is rising within you is being called to action,  Though we’ve worked really hard at feeling our way into Being and allowing and waiting for our lives to unfold as the Universe sees fit, the time for waiting is over.

Now we are being folded into a new mix of being/doing that facilitates our will and strengthens (up-levels, really) our partnership with God.

If you are beginning to feel frustration, impatience, or downright rage at the injustice of Life’s offerings culminating within you, you are right on track.  These are the forces of change.  These are the elements of discontent that are working to dislodge you from a passive stance and propel you into a role of action.  The time for Being as we know it is over (for now anyway).  The time for doing is on.  You are being asked to take your life by the reigns and ‘make’ something happen.  Do you feel that?  Many feel that momentum building along with the coinciding hands-tied element of not wanting to override the ‘Being-ness’ that they’ve been taught about and coached in.  Many have learned to cultivate that synergy of flow and have resolved, at long last, to take their hands off the wheel while letting the Universe direct them.  So it may feel somewhat counter-intuitive to step back into the captains helm at this point.  It may feel as if you are taking a step backward and falling into old ways of needing to be in control, or as if your allegiance to a surrendered way of being is faltering.  But if you really connect with the energies within and become in-tune with the energies all around (cosmic and collective) you will See that taking action is exactly what you are being called to do right now.

All itinerary is subject to last minute change.

Ok, so as your ‘but, but, buting’, understand that the way of the Universe, of nature, IS change.  It is ebb and flow; contraction and expansion.  So by honoring the urge to ‘do’, to ‘create, ‘make happen’ in your life at the moment, you are honoring, not objecting to, the flow.  By honoring your GPS which says “Move, Move, Move! I’m tired of waiting and standing still!”, you are honoring your instinct.  By trusting in your Internal Navigational System, and Knowing that it has our best interest at heart, Knowing that it is directing you , you are creating a deeper connection with your Self.  By trusting ( and here’s the other component to the equation, and the one that puts the twist on this way of Being and makes it an updated version of the old)- by trusting that Creator will then ‘match your bid’ and take care of the unknowns and the ‘out of your hands’ aspects, you are strengthening your connection with Source.

So here’s the breakdown.  You follow your instinct to change, to do, to take action. And then you, as you step into the role of authority of your life, on this new empowered level that is ‘over’ sitting back and waiting for stuff to happen ( for the moment anyway), you then delegate, or command, if you will, that Creator meet you half way and take care of the rest.

Don’t take the seeming resistance of things not lining up or falling into place as a sign that it is not TIME for things to happen or forward movement to occur.  Don’t fight your desire to take action, and tear down some walls or storm the city of your dreams.  The fire doesn’t lie.  It wants you to step up and stand tall and become an active participant in your life.  But here’s where many are getting confused.  There is the objective, the thing you want (desperately!) to happen in your life.  And then there is the obvious ‘out of your hands’ ‘nothing you can do about it’ element which sends us flailing into a stupor of confusion, frustration, and disillusionment at best, making us wonder if we are being asked to step up to and into yet another higher level of surrender.  And then again there is this almost disabling discontent, this discord, this downright rage or sorrow that screams ‘NO! I have to do SOMETHING! I can’t just remain idle.’  And to both, the answer is yes.

You are being asked to ‘do’ and ‘be’.  You are being asked to surrender and take control.  You are being asked to find balance between your will and God’s will.  And as you bring this into alignment, as you find your footing with doing your part and letting God do his, you will begin to see the bigger picture as it unfolds.  You will begin to regain the feeling of balance and flow.

Stomach issues anyone?

This coordination of wills has everything to do with your power center, located directly within your belly.  This explains the need to come into your power by doing, making happen, taking action,  But if we’ve learned anything from past mistakes along the way, the imbalance that over-compensating, over-controlling and reluctance to surrender brings is less (by far) than optimal.  And if we’ve learned from our time period of allowing and surrendering into Being, we can’t deny the ultimate power (and peace) that’s derived from letting God and letting go. But many have reached a time of feeling that they are wandering in the desert, somewhat helpless or aimless, waiting for the realm of possibilities to unfold and the Powers That Be to give it up already.

So, my friends, it is time to braid.  It is time to feel empowered by creating movement and change within our lives while alternately realizing and surrendering what we have control over and what we don’t (think Serenity Prayer).

So this may mean for you that the movement, the shift, the change you’re about to make happen at this time in order to facilitate that fire within that says ‘Do’ is seemingly menial, or tedious even.  You may not be able to make happen or magically make appear that new job, new love, new house, or whatever else it is you desire.  Many of these larger details of what it is you want may absolutely ( as you suspected, or as may be glaringly obvious) be completely out of your hands.  But the movement to get the current rolling is within your realm, and within your means.  So what does this mean?  This means that if you desire a move- to a new home or a new location- but things aren’t falling into place, then you step into the flow by becoming part of it (actively) rather than waiting on the sidelines.  You begin to make preparations.  You begin to pack, clear out, take action- on a level that you can.  Participate.  Play it out.  Be proactive- on whatever level you can in this moment.  Action is the key word.  And it may not be on the level you desire, but it will facilitate the flow and show the Universe that you really are ready; you are stepping up to the plate; you are doing your share.

Just don’t loose sight of the partnership (between you and Creator), and the trust necessary to keep that in tact.

It’s greater balance, this way of being- a 50 You/ 50 God equation; Co-creation, my friends, at its best. Give a little, get a little.  And you know that it’s right (what you’re feeling) that it’s Ok to evolve into this higher way of Being.  This is you bringing into alignment the doing and the being, the power and the surrender. In breath, out breath directs the prana, directs the flow.

Evolve.  Do.  Be. Perfect.  Now don’t forget to play, and you’re good.

As bodies, we need movement.  As beings of nature, we are elements of change, of evolution.  It’s really about being in the flow of that, of the process of life that's organic, and allowing the process to become organic for you.  If you were a bulb in spring who was ready to shoot through the ground, to sprout, you wouldn’t deny your urge to grow.  And as you began to grow, you would naturally know which way to grow- you would grow towards the Light, through the Light, and of (via) the Light.  You would have that connection with Source and a trust that that Light would guide you.  But you also wouldn’t expect the Light to do the growing for you.  You would do that part yourself.  So you see how it is totally interconnected, a very symbiotic way of Being that is natural and known.  This is what you’re reaching for- this rhythmic way of Being.

Know that, in order to support this Way, you must also allow for preparation.  You need to allow yourself to be fertilized by Life as it shapes you into who and what you need to be to be optimal for what it is you want to receive.  So it is about letting Life bring you into that balance through the life experiences that will teach, mold, and grow you.  And to that you surrender, and you trust, you allow the flow. But now is also a time to tend to your garden, to prepare your soil, to plant your seeds.  Now is time to honor the movement within you and bring it out into the world- to manifest your own right as a creator, as the creator that you truly are.  It’s time to test those waters by activating your will and making happen what you can.  And no matter what your goal or desire, there is something you can do right now, if you’ve got that fire burnin’ within you to DO, to move forward in the direction of your dreams.

If you desire new love, begin with doing something loving for you.  The more in love with you you are, the more excellent your new relationship will be, and the higher a vibrational love you’ll call in.

If you want a new job, begin by honing your skills and making an action plan to get working, so that when the Universe  ‘drops’ that job into your lap, you’re prepared.

If you want a new home, begin by clearing out the old and decluttering and polishing your life, so that when everything else falls into place, you’re ready to go. (This applies to you as a body and a soul, as well- you simplifying your thoughts and beliefs so that you can expand into a higher-vibrating, more expansive You).

Remember , these are changing times.  Your standards are higher now.  You no longer want to settle for mediocre or less than.  You want the big stuff- the Greatness. So by lining up with it, by becoming a vibrational match, you create fruition.  Make sure your soil is as optimal as possible for the fruit you wish to bare.

There is a balance to being and doing.  And as you begin to acclimate to this new way, you’ll begin to strengthen your trust in you and in Source and the co-creation of your dreams-come-true begins to flow in a more natural way; You sprouting in time to your drive to become and you growing towards the Light.  Symbiosis and flow.

Follow your heart through this, rather than old standards, and you’ll find your Way Home.

Become fully realized as you sink into your knowing and expand outward through creation, manifestation, and maximizing the flow.

Begin!

To forward movement and co-creation on a higher level!

Opening to Expansion and Love

The following is a meditation, part of a recently offered class. It is filled with a vibrational shift to help you align with expansion and love.  You can read through and receive the benefits, or decide to record and play back for meditation. A recorded version of this piece will be available soon.  If you'd like to receive a copy of that, just leave me a not at the bottom.  Enjoy...

                           ~ ~ ~  : ~ ~ ~  : ~ ~ ~ : ~ ~ ~          

Begin by settling your body into a comfortable position, noticing your breath, bringing awareness to its rhythm.  Know that this is a great act of honoring yourself- this time that you’re setting aside, right now- this is a gift!

This moment is for you…creating this space of comfort for ease and grace…creating the space for the breath to flow, naturally, and abundantly

Breathing into your base chakra,  and breathing out and releasing any resistance,  clearing away all tension,  all heaviness,  all doubt,  all fear.  Breathing in, deeply,  creating space for new, flowing, fresh life,  and releasing all that no longer serves you,  anything that’s holding you back,  from this moment,  from relaxing into peace,  from loosening the hold of anything that’s taking you away from where you are,  right now.

Breathing in deeply,  all the way to the bottom of your tailbone… and breathing up,  and out,  opening your crown chakra and allowing the energy to flow out the top of your head.  Spouting out the top, like a whale,  allowing the energy to flow.  Two more breaths, just like this,  filling all the way up from the bottom,  from the roots of the earth…and out Through the top,  connecting to Source…creating the flow.

Breathing again into your base chakra,  feeling into a sense of security,  safety,  groundedness,  all needs met.  Feeling this chakra balanced and thriving-  a balanced red.

Moving up into your sacral chakra,  between your belly and base,  and allowing yourself to be filled with a strong sense of pleasure,  of joy,  of contentment,   playfulness.   Feeling connected to the flow of life.  Filling this center with a glowing orange ball of radiant light.  Absorbing the light and feeling the reactivation of your life-force energy.  Connected and calm..  Rejuvenated and anchored.

Now,  floating into your third chakra-  your belly.  Connecting with a  sense of power:  power with ease,  no restriction,  moving beyond conflict or need to fight. Settling into balance of will. .  Harmonizing your will with God’s will.  Picturing glowing abundantly bright and yellow.  Filling with radiant yellow light.  Feeling complete and content. Feeling harmonized.

Moving up to your heart chakra,  breathing into this center,  aligning your spirit in this vortex of love.  Releasing past contracts, removing chords,  blessing all opportunities and connections that have allowed you to expand in love.  Radiating love outward,  and melting any,  and all layers of defense,  of fear,  of protection.  Melting away resistance.  Softening now…any hardness, any sediment of restriction.  Allow the light to be what guides you as you become it,  as it becomes you.  Allowing the light to become the essence of who your are.  Radiating out,  melting,  absorbed by the light of love.  And radiating that light now,  back, in the direction of you.  Radiating that love to your self.  Filling with compassion.  Filling with grace.  Filling this chakra with a meadow of green. Lush,  and full. Garden of light.

Breathing now into your throat chakra,  the chakra of truth and expression,  filling with blue sky energy and light.  Radiating unrestricted truth,  as you connect with your power to create,  as you connect with your fullest abundant potential,  and as you set yourself free to be that,  to be that potential,  to be that creator and cre-a-tion.  To be the everlasting truth, to be your fullest expression of you.

Bringing awareness to the chakra between your eyes now,   connecting with your knowing,  with your ability to see with clarity,  with certainty,  with the eyes of love.  Connecting to a deeper indigo blue as you open and expand this third-eye center,  as you expand in light.

Opening now, your crown chaka,  just above your head-  opening to the universal pure,  expansive love and light.  Radiant beauty,  pulling the energy of the universe into your body and allowing it to shimmer in light. Allowing for peace and joy to wash over you as you reconnect and realign with spirit.  Always one.  Always abundant and flowing.  This energy ever available to you at any time you should wish to align and receive.

 And,  as you settle into peace,  as you reconnect with your essence,  begin to notice the stillness,  and the calm that you have available to you at this moment,  Begin to notice the pleasure that is welling within,  as you reconnect with the All That Is.  This is available to you now,  this abundance,  this flow,  this peace,  in this moment,   and in every moment.  It is always within your reach.

Allow yourself to settle into a state of contentment, deeper peace still,  and embrace the vibration of knowing the you are enough,    that you have enough,   that enough is your constant state of being.  All is available to you now,  in this moment.

Open to abundance as your nature.  Open to knowing that you have enough time,  enough peace,  enough joy,  enough energy,  enough support,  enough love.  Settle into knowing that you already have everything the you desire,  and could ever hope for,  available to you now,  and that all that is left is for you to receive.

As you expand into these possibilities, as you open your self to the fullness that is waiting for your embrace,  notice the radiance within your heart.  Notice the peace and the joy that flows through you as you open to the fullness of your being.

You are ever-expansive.  You are capable of more than you could ever dream.  And just as these feelings seem dream-like,  the life that unfolds for you when you open to this way of being is dream-like too.

Know that you are held in the arms of the Creator.  That you are cradled.  Feel the comfort,  that nurturance,  allow it to wash over you.  Know that you are protected,  loved,  provided for-     completely.

All that you need do ,   in this moment,  and in every moment,  is connect with your Source.   All that you need do is connect with your joy.

Feel the love expanding within you,  radiating outward,  in every direction.  Feel yourself merging with All of creation.  There is no need to worry, or fear.  There is no need to hold back or limit.  Expansion is your natural state of being.  It IS who you ARE.  You are ever-evolving and everything you’ve done throughout your life has been leading you right to this moment.  This moment of expansion,  of completion,   as you leave behind a state of lack, of hiding,  of worry,  doubt,  or fear. 

Stepping into the Light of Love now and absorbing the radiant wonder of being a Creation of God.  You are love.  You cannot be another thing.  And as you begin to live from this space,  from a heart centered place,  you will begin to experience the vast abundance of clarity,  of peace,  of vibrance,  and of simplicity.  You will begin to experience the radiant,  expansive love that creates all things.  And as you embrace this abundance within you,  as you being to receive all that is available to you,  you will begin to realize that there truly is no limit or lack.  There only is the plenty.  There only ever was or ever will be.

Breathing into this expansion,  allowing yourself to connect deeply,  with the knowing that this is your birthright,  this is your essence of Being.  You are the love,  And the love flows freely,  restoring and rejuvenating every cell of your being,  creating new passages to enlightenment and new treasures to behold in the eyes of the one who opens to the abundance and receives.

Allowing now for the peace to wash over you. 

Allowing for newness.

Allowing ease.

Settling into your heart,  breathing from that space,  breathing fully,  as you radiate pure love.

Now breathing into your root chakra, and visualizing roots growing from your tail bone,   down,   into the earth,  connecting firmly with the grounding energy and the stability of the planet.    Feeling solid,  and deeply rooted.  Now pulling that earth energy back up and into your body, pulling the energy from the core of the Earth,  into your Being.  Allowing it to support you,  and fill you.

Breathing again into your heart as you center there.  Coming back into your body,  breath returning to normal,  back into the room.  Taking your time.  And when you’re ready,  you can open your eyes.  Remembering to thank yourself for this sacred time of connection and stillness. Remembering to carry this peace throughout your day and out into your world.

Namaste and great love to you, perfect child of god.

Much, much love,

~Rhonda

The River of the Now

You are reborn in every moment, every moment anew.  Awaken to your now moment with the freshness and the blessings it offers, for you, in this moment, have an opportunity to experience the greatest miracle that you have ever known, and yes, by far, my love, the greatest miracle you can know is the preciousness of your Being. And to experience this in the Now is to be one with all that is on a deep level of connectedness, on a deep level of peace.

Be borne in this moment.  Awakening to the sunshine of your soul.  Be the breathtaking and the beholder- all at once, within this moment. That is your gift, your gift to this world, and to yourself.  Be the blessing that you were created to bestow. You are the Christmas morn, as all wait in anticipation.  You are the beautifully wrapped package, adorned with a glistening glow.  You are pure radiant wonder, like the dew of a rose as it wakes to its new dawn.  Everything inside you has accelerated in its becoming as you become more in each moment, more of what you long to be, more of what you’ve always been.  For the you and the ‘it’ ( that which you desire to fill your heart, to enliven your spirit, to energize and liberate your wings) are nothing short of inseparable, nothing short of the breath of Life that is in you.  Breathing into this force, you become it.  It becomes new life in this moment. 

Taste the moment as it folds into your experience.  Beckon for it to come closer, to become merged with you on a deeper level of intimacy, of divine connectedness.  You and the moment as one, languishing in the arms of one another as you welcome each home.

Open to the abundance and the breadth that has never sought to divide you, never intended for you to fall timid in recognition of its vastness,  You are that huge, that limitless, that greatness, that vortex, that expansion.  And it flows through you, surging and pulsing as your prana, intertwined, interdemensional, intermeshed in the most splendid dance of perfection as one creates the other, and the other relishes in grace, holding then the space for the one to be born and bloom into the essence of its nature.   Enveloped and elated, tantalizing and rich with fullness, ripe beyond the picking, as it begins to fall from the Tree of Life, the Life is You, and you are It.  You are nirvana.  Drink from the river of the Now.  Allow it to wash over you, pure radiance, bathing your soul, as you spill into this moment and into the next.  Elixer of intoxication-none other than bliss, as you fall uninhibited and recklessly naked into the bounty, into the Sea of Life in its pure undiluted form. Yet formless in every moment as each one takes shape, becoming what it will be, and all that it can be is perfection.

For you are the River.  Unrestricted you flow, so that all may drink from you, may pick your fruits, may taste your glory. Follow your heart into this bliss, living there for a while and then much longer, knowing within you the most exclusive meaning of life, embracing the oneness, the divine, as you and the moment become the flow, become what Is. There is nothing else. All resides within this now, this moment that takes you, should you allow for the taking, should you be so blessed. Becoming the moment, as all of life opens to you, and you open to the greatness of all things. 

Drink again, and be filled.  Then fall into the moment ahead. See how life evolves with little effort while swimming in the flow.  See how languid is the River, as we allow for the fluidity to show the way. The River knows. It is within this moment.  It is within you, as you are undeniably within it. Welcome the moment home into your heart and all your moments will become radiant waves of creation. Couldn't this be so, in every moment?  Couldn't every moment become bliss? And those moments between bliss, are they not bliss in hiding? Pure potential awaits you. Fold into your Now.

Be loved and Be new,

~Rhonda

Directing the Flow

With the intensity of the solar flares and the abundant fullness of the moon, no darkness is left in hiding through this transcendent time of truth radiation as we’re called to fully surrender to our purest selves.  How will you weather the storm? Will you be toppled over and swept away or will you rise above the waves and be carried to greater heights within your conscious experience?

Are you a boat-hugger in the storm or a water-walker with risky faith?

In consciousness there is choice. You can determine how to direct the flow of this energy. By being in alignment with your soul, by becoming and remaining centered, by creating balance within your being and then sourcing from that when you feel the winds of change blowing in, you can be the peace that you desire. And during these times of intensity, when cosmic allies are instrumental in accelerating the course, cultivate the presence to make this energy instrumental to your growth in a profound and truly positive way rather than letting it plummet you to the depths and have it’s way with you. Come into your power, connect with your source, and find your touch-point so that you arrive at the other end of this transition with a sense of the sublime and a stronger foundation in a new way of being based on faith.  This is about trust, in yourself, in the unseen, in your capacity to transform and touch base with what you know in your heart to be true and bring it to life.  This is about you creating and maintaining a strong connection with yourself. This is about opening more fully to and actually incorporating a new way of being.  This is about you stepping aside and letting spirit have it’s way with you.  This is about stepping confidently into the unknown and reveling in it, because that is the next step. There’s no more going backward and the future is unclear. We have only this now.  In this now choose peace.

This is a whole new level of surrender that we’re being asked to rise to.  As we do, we become more pure, releasing resistance, fear and doubt as obstacles to receiving the profound gifts of the Universe.  As we open more fully, all of life comes into alignment as sources of energy, love and radiant joy greet you within each moment of surrender, within each intention to connect further to the truth.  This is your time of unfolding, of flowering into the fullest potential of the majestic being that you are.  Allow for this.  Receive the gift of glory as you move beyond what’s been and enter a new day.

The language of your soul can be subtle, and we are being asked to listen that much more attentively and be guided by it’s course. In stillness and in presence, you can become connected with the inner knowing and let it guide you. But there are other ways that your highest self connects with you, and if you listen and adjust your actions/reactions, thoughts/emotions to the wisdom within, you will find yourself sailing through your days with unexpected and abundant gifts and rewards abounding, as well as a growing sense of knowing that this truly is how life was meant to be.

Your body’s talking, are you paying attention to it’s cues? 

The body is all-wise.  It never lies. And it speaks to us of important details when we aren’t aware of whether or not we’re on track with our higher truth. At times of great energy influxes such as these, the body speaks louder, as the energy presses for compliance, or alignment, and everything comes to the surface in order that we may become aware of how our choices (conscious and not) are affecting our overall well-being. The following are some of the key areas you may be experiencing a lot of body talk, along with a translation of what those areas are telling you and what you need to focus on to bring yourself into balance. When we bring awareness to the area, and the message it’s trying to send us, the discomfort will begin to ease or disappear all together, depending on how in or out of alignment you are.  Alignment really is everything.

Hips: Inflexibility.  Where are you needing to be more flexible in your life?  Where are you needing to loosen up, let go, go with the flow?  Notice how flex implies stretching- to stretch beyond your capacity, beyond your need for security and for the comfort zone-to loosen the reigns, overcome the need or tendency to control.  Let go and let God.  Surrender, baby!- and you’ll be show a better way.

Joints-ankles, wrists, knees

Knees: Movement forward.  Where are you holding yourself back?  How are you restricting yourself from forward movement, from making choices based on your high heart rather than root-based fears?  How are you inhibiting your life by clinging to old ways?  How are you being ruled or distracted by fear rather than growing forward?  Pay close attention and ask yourself these questions when you notice discomfort in these areas. (*Remember, the answer is always about surrender!)

Ankles: Inhibition, digging your feet in, resisting the flow, stubbornness, sluggishness or reluctance to begin anew-whether in creative endeavors, opening more fully to new life, or embracing the change within your horizon.

Wrists: Rigidness, need for control, attempting to conduct life rather than let it flow; reflection of carpel tunnel syndrome showing repetitive held movement, habit, or disposition that’s conflicting with allowing for Creator to direct; allowing direction to flow through to you rather than needing to steer the ship and direct your course so diligently.

Belly: Conflict in power central.  Shifting gears and shifting out of old ways of being.  Being alerted to areas of life that are needing your attention-needing for you to take charge, step up to the plate, determine the course, make a choice, be decisive, stop undermining yourself.  Also, strong caution as to what you feel strongly about and against.  Heed the belly signals and zero in on previous thoughts, deeds, words to see what it’s telling you about the choice you’re making and how well they reflect your heart’s desires.

Heart: Lots of movement in this are as this center is opening and realigning, as you’re adjusting to a more expanded (and vulnerable) way of being.  Most have lived lives with hearts closed and much healing energy is being directed to this area as we learn to live from a space of love and open to the expansiveness and unrestricted nature that that entails.  Be gentle and nurturing with you, fostering compassion as a daily practice.  The love you create for and within yourself will reflect outward.  Start with you.

Head: Major energy infusions.  Remember to breathe in deeply to your base and let the energy then flow up and out through the top of your head ( more on that process later).  You are receiving huge amounts of energy from the Universe and it needs to be grounded more often and more consciously in order to avoid more bothersome headaches and dizziness.  Also, as we’re transitioning, and base chakra stuff ( fear, survival ) is being triggered, there’s a tendency to shut down the bottom chakra as well as the crown chakra, which traps the energy in your body, restricting its flow.  This can cause anxiety, twitches, overwhelm, heart palpitations, and tension.  To release the energy and retain flow within the body, breathe into your base chakra and then open your crown chakra and spout the energy out  (like a whale).  Repeat several times as needed and anytime you find yourself in fear.  This exercise brings significant calming and balance, which is what is needed during these times of shift which are accelerating both within ourselves and all around us.

It’s pivotal to become familiar with and work with the chakras during your transition into greater alignment.  The chakras hold great wisdom and a wealth of information about your current state of being.  They know how to lead you back to your self.  When you find that your energy is off, that you feel disconnected, or down, checking in with your chakras to see where you are in balance (and out) will give you great perspective on what’s ailing you and what you need to do to come into balance.  We are being asked to center and become aligned during this time; to find our peace in the chaos; to know who we are so that we don’t become weathered by the storm.  Going inward and connecting on this deep level with your energy centers is a powerful way to find directive and achieve balance.  The more balanced we are, the greater aligned with our peace.  When all of our energy centers are open, we are flowing with Source, and from that place we can approach life and open to it with greater ease.

All of the chakras will direct you to the places in which you need to incorporate more balance.  Safety/Survival. Pleasure/Creativity. Power/Will.  Love-Giving/Receiving.  Truth-Expression/Repression.  Knowing-Thru Intuition/Seeing Thru God’s Eyes.  And Spirituality/Connection to Source (within and without).  All of these are aspects of being-both human and spiritual.  And it’s our task, our learning, to bring these areas (all of them) into alignment so that we can thrive.  The focus is not so directly on healing of or moving to the next place in any of these areas of growth.  It is about centering within the space of the moment and what each chakra is presenting, what is spoken, what it is telling you.  It is about being with that energy and quietly listening to and receiving the message and honoring it, and in doing so, honoring you.  And in that, and in surrender to higher guidance (and just the same, guidance from these all-wise sources of info), we are then led to the next moment of who and what and how we need to be.

We get there, to the next place in our evolution, that next step on our path, by moving through these spaces.  And we get there with far more grace and ease when we are able to center, to go within, and allow ourselves to be guided.

The ‘goal’ of the path is to establish greater connectedness to yourself and to your source and in tandem, you begin to co-create your life to the fruition of your truest desires.

As you fall into alignment, you are greatly rewarded with the treasures of joy and peace and contentment.  You begin to experience connectedness on a profound level that creates a life of flow and a radiant love of all things.

Go inward and connect with your breath, with your ever-wise energy centers, and with the flowing source of abundance that is always available to you from the All That Is. Trust in what you are receiving, as the messages from within pour forth, and as life plays out all around you.

This is a new way of being and these are powerful tools that can connect you with greater resonance, so that you may shine within the winds of change, as your barometer becomes your own solidity through connection and balance, through flow and faith.

Abundance and Grace!

The Gift

Today I give myself the gift of taking deep breaths, knowing that bringing fresh pure air and life force energy into my body, into my cells, will filter out the remains of what needs to go; knowing that in receiving this ever-present in every moment gift from the Universe, I am nurtured and made new.

Today I give myself the gift of sight.  I choose to see my day with God’s eyes, through the lens of beauty and light, knowing that all is well, knowing that I am fully cradled in His supportive arms.  In this, I see Truth, and I allow for all possibilities to unfold rather than needing them to match criteria or perspective.

Today I offer myself the gift of being free.  I release all attachments, all restrictions, all inhibitions, all fears.  I ride the wave of wisdom that is love, dancing to the rhythm of my heart song in bliss and honor of the sacred uniqueness that is me.  I delve into my radiance, exemplifying my everglow and redefine what it means to BE.

Today I give myself the gift of grace.  I call on my angels and my God and my own brilliant loving highest self to expand me in ways that I knew not that I was capable of, to overlap me when I feel I can’t possible be stretched further, and to whisper to me the secrets of peace especially in the moments that I’m sure I have been broken.  I open to grace to guide me through my day, to lighten my step and broaden my perspective, and to wash me clean in the ever-flowing, all-knowing light.

Today, I give myself the gift of a warm embrace.  I open my arms wide, and my heart wider, allowing pure love to pour forth, unhindered by anything that seeks to block, anything that holds me back, as I exchange my need to protect for a new way of living.  I open to receive, knowing fully that I am worthy of every ounce of love that is longing to complete me.  In this essence, I pour forth everything I AM as a radiant Being of Light- in one full spectrum of splendor and magnificence, knowing that my love is my light and my light is here to shine along side all of the other beautiful bright stars of the Universe.

Today, I give myself the gift of peace.  I do not limit my capacity ofr this vortex of oneness that ensues the truth of the ages.  I choose now and in every moment the gracious surrender that allows for the flow to enhance and direct me, releasing expectation, letting go of the burdens of the past, knowing that the indwelling fountain of contentment never runs empty and is free-flowing to me in every moment of my existence, despite any obstacles, inner or outer conditions, or resistance to go within and rememeber my Truth and my essence, my sovereign and sacred I AMness that brings me back to a simpleness and a clarity, and restores me to the perfection of my sacred Being.

Today, I offer myself the gift of choice. I distill the need to worry or limit myself through excessive contemplation or thinking and respond to life from a conscious perspective, giving myself permission to tap into, fully, the well of wisdom within me.   I follow the guidance of my heart as it leads me gently to every next thing, and leads me gladly back to myself.  I release the need to be victim, or to blame.  I recognize where I have and do give my power away and I reinstate myself eternally as creator of my reality, as authority of my life, as captain of my soul.  I honor and respect my choices and decisions, never looking backward or giving credence to the pervasive power of uncertainty or doubt.  I know with total and complete certainty that I am led, that I am cradled and supported, that I am completely capable of bringing to this world my greatness through my conscious creation of heart-based living and ever-growing peace of mind.

Today I offer myself the gift of five-star living.  I recognize that I am worthy of every want and desire I have ever dreamed of.  I cast aside the limitation of what appears to be in my life and what does not.  I open to the fullest potential of possibility for me to live in abundance in every aspect of living,  showered by the wonder and beauty of the world and all it has to offer, unabashedly giving of the gifts I have received.  And in this, I am set free to the  ebb and flow f creation as it pours forth into every aspect and corner of my existence.

Today, I give myself the gift to re-creation.  I allow myself to be born anew in all of my Greatness and glory, meeting life with freshness and implicit gratitude as I welcome and receive the fullness or every opportunity, embracing every blessing that is every moment, that is each thing, if I should choose to see it that way.  And I ask that I may walk my days forward in this light.

Loving you completely,

~Rhonda
