Recently I've realized that with all of the adjustment to academia and stresses of single momdom I have forgotten the most important part of life - to connect to the Source of all that is good, the Source that emanates from within me and surrounds me at all times. With the loss of this connection to the Tao of life I have become more like the boulder in the bottom of the stream than the river that flows with ease above. I have felt underwater, stuck in a way that I have never experienced before. The only moments I peer above the surface are when I remember to connect to the Divine, remember to feel the blessings each breath contains, and allow myself the freedom to release the weight of my incessantly chattering mind. In these moments I move again, as though I am released from the mass of jagged rock by a silent miracle, and for a blink I am instead the water, flowing along with grace and ease. I've had about enough of the muck and mud at the bottom of the stream, I'm ready to feel the warmth of the sun and breathe in the cool autumn air again.
In the past I have felt the major energetic shift when I chose to tap into the spiritual sources that feed my soul. I have felt the weight lift, the laughter come back, and the solutions come through when I finally surrendered, knowing that in God, where all answers reside, no problem exists. Somehow reminding myself that the solution already breathes in the realm of infinite possibility calms my mind.
In this lucid moment that I am in remembrance, I am choosing to meditate, pray, talk to friends and journal. I am pulling out the tools from the toolbox, taking slow, deep breaths, and giving myself permission for the journey back to my inner strength to take the time it needs to truly heal. I have felt like I was gluing together shattered pieces for long enough. It is time to discard the old and begin anew. It is time to meditate to Louise Hay morning and evening, to listen to Rev. Michael Beckwith's Life Visioning meditation, and to begin to consciously listen for the higher Truth that is within each moment. It's time to do the work.
My dear friend, Dr. Colbey Forman, Dean of Barron University and founder of Psychoneurology, reminded me this afternoon of the benefits of group meditation. There is a power in groups of people who come together with similar vibrations. When the intention of the group is to connect to the Source within, each member of the group benefits from the others. He suggested that I invite someone else to facilitate the meditation for now, and invite others, who like myself are in need of releasing their self-imposed prison of stone to float freely in the waters of life again. I am willing, and I will allow the rest to emerge naturally, taking action when I am guided to do so.
What I remember as my head bobs above water for a moment, is the strength we all have is greater than our conscious mind could ever fathom. We are unlimited, as Rev. Michael states in his Visioning CD, there are no bounds to hold us beyond the limitations of our mind. True surrender goes beyond the mind into the Divine where all things are possible. Source is with us in each breath, providing us the blessings we are seeking in order to attain our highest good. It is up to us to align ourselves with the vibration of receiving our personal greatness. It begins with an intention to do so. I proclaim my intention in this moment, and will continue to practice as I move towards gliding through life freely again.
Louise, I'm ready for our evening meditation.
