Hello there!
I am feeling in the flow. It is a great feeling, yet there’s a part of me that for some reason is questioning; wondering why this is. In the midst of all that is going on in our world, I am feeling ease, grace and peace–and it isn’t requiring any effort!
I guess, I am just surprised is all! Even though there is a tremendous amount of fear and anguish, I am not only keeping my head above the water, but I feel as though I am floating through it. As I reflect a little more deeply about this feeling of flow and questioning, I see a little more into the mystery. Let’s go together, here and now. A little deeper in. Mystery loves company:)
As I write this, we are in the window of the new moon. Can you take a moment with me and breathe. Feel the breath as it moves through you and feel where there is tightness or a restriction–something that may be restricting the flow.
Wait with me right here. Right at that place where expansion becomes an effort. THIS is the place to soften, allow and be gentle. This is the sweet spot of fear, doubt, anger, frustration, holding, efforting–just wait, with love and compassion. Your body is holding something for you to see, feel, or know. “What is it?”
Is there a color? A shape? Is it a sound that needs to emerge? A wisdom or deep knowing? It could be anything and it doesn’t mean it is bad. It just wants to be witnessed, expressed, moved. How will you choose to honor this?
When I am in the reflection and wonder of a feeling, I get curious about it. I allow myself to sit with it as I would a friend who may be struggling with something. I have learned over time, that pushing to fix it won’t help. There is information here for me. This information is an insight to support me.
We all have the ability to do this, we only require time and space; gentleness, trust and love. Love is the energy that holds us and supports us with wild ferocity. Love pulls out all the stops and goes for it! And at the same time, it meanders as gently as a mountain stream–in the full brightness of summer–after spring’s rapid flow and growth.
I find it interesting how challenging it is to make a shift from fear to ease. Ease has such a warm and gentle feel, like grace. While fear requires more effort and actually hurts the system. I know that we all have had a lot that has happened to us, I have had a lot happen to me in my life. I also know that I can heal. I did heal. I am healing.
I remember a revelation I had during my early days of learning and being in MFR seminars. What makes learning this work so powerful, is that you are not just going to a work shop to learn a technique- to use on someone else- to make them feel better. You are actually going through your own process of healing. Everyone who is there is part of an energetic field of energy, with a similar intention to heal. So, if you are wanting to heal, it is available-the field supports it.
That being said, healing isn’t a linear process. Your life and what happened to you is not linear. The way you remember it or the way your body holds it is not linear. You get to go on a journey that will reveal many truths for you as you let go of the wounds that bind you down and hold you back from living the life you came here to live.
I digress. My revelation from this seminar, being in this field of healing, what I witnessed from those around me, was astounding and altered my perception of my own pain. I am not alone. Everyone in that room, in one way or another was writhing in pain and allowing it to move through them in just the way it needed to. Not perfectly, but perfect to what was needed for the individual. I learned that there is no one magic pill, no one magic technique, or anything outside of the self that will get someone to heal–healing happens from the inside to the outside.
I learned the power of being with someone-truly being-as they let go. Suspending my self-doubts, self-worth, self, self, self. And then, as it was time for me to let go, allowing someone to be with me to hold space, to find trust for another, when I had always needed to be strong, do it myself-not trust anyone, but me.
We are finding ourselves in a time now, where it is becoming crucial for us to become connected, to let go of our wounded-ness and find trust in community. I encourage you, as I encourage myself, to allow the gentle kindness, compassion and fierceness of love to run through you and shine out. Become a magnet and beacon of love and BE the change you seek in the world.
With Love and Cosmic Dreaming,
Deborah
P.S.
Are you ready to let go and be held in the power of your own medicine? Each of us has the ability to heal. Perhaps you need some support to tap into that power. Maybe it is an experience in the red rocks of Sedona that can help to shift what holds you in pain and supports your power to heal.
