Inspiration of Soul and Heart is enlivened in me through being of service to the transformation in another. I am called to assist you in accessing your fullest bloom, your most radiant light, your Highest ~ True Self.

Ascension Explore-shop Series on ZOOM

Published on by lotusworksLeave a comment

Calling all Awakening Hearts! 

There is so much power right now assisting us into the next levels of our own divine humanness, to remembering the beauty that we are, and to infuse this sacred planet with much Love & Light.

All growth goes through stages and phases. When we try to bypass certain phases or stages, we make our learning more challenging. If we attempt multiplication before we can add & subtract, we’re creating obstacles in a path which could be streamlined.

We must learn to crawl before we walk, we must walk before we run! 

This is the inspiration of this Ascension Series. Together we’ll move through the stages & phases, which inform & empower you to journey on with tools, skills, knowings,  that can assist your continued next leveling.

If you are, as most of us are, still finding your way along your awakening & Ascension journey, I invite you to join me over the next 4 months to amplifying your Light, connect to your deeper intuition/Highest Self guidance, access higher potentials, and leap up to a next level timeline.

This series is designed to take us all on a journey from the starting point of creating a Sacred Center & Sacred Foundation, which will support the Embodiment of Self-Love.

Once we can establish a truly loving relationship with ourselves, we can love others more fully, generously, and unconditionally. It is then we learn to choose the highest alignment for ourselves, to honor our place in this world. Our Divine Aligning becomes a guide for our Ascension Process.

Once we have skills to navigate these phases, we are empowered to truly co-create with  Divine Source, to Activate Your Divine Blueprint, consciously, for the highest good of ourselves & for all.  These activations carry us continuously to our next levels of spiritual evolution & connection to divine intelligence.

What’s in store for you?

Embodying Love

Published on by lotusworksLeave a comment

Lovelies . . .
Do you long for the path of Self-Love & Embracing the Sacred within?

And yet, do you attempt to divide your inner light & darkness?
Are you unsure as to how to move more toward yourself with the grace of deep acceptance, self-love & self-honoring?

It’s often easier than we think. 
Sometimes we just need a little guidance.

Self-rejection takes shape when we judge our self as wrong, bad, not-enough, faulty, etc. When we push it further within or away, when we pretend this aspect of our self doesn’t exist, we simply delay our wholeness & authenticity.

It’s ok. Feel your ‘darkness’ rise forth & give it breath & voice.
Take it gently in your heart. See it for what it is . . . It is a wound coming forth to be revealed & healed, through your love & presence.

It is a Sacred Shadow, ready to be transformed, transmuted & integrated, with conscious compassion.

This is the path of becoming Whole & Holy. This is the path to your Truth. It is a path of remembering yourself Home, to your Sacred Center.

I have a special offer for those desiring to learn more clearly how to move from self-rejection into Self-Love. 

Embodying Love Package 
3 Distance Sessions
Receive insight, tools, practice, meditation, points of resolution/integration &Light Language. 
This will open a door & set you on a new course of relating to yourself with more acceptance, respect, love & honor. 

This new way of being enables you to share more of yourself with those you love & receive more of what they have to share as well.
Receive a 3 session package ~ $150.00
Sessions are 60 – 90 minutes

Power to Choose ~ A New Paradigm/New Earth Emerges

Published on by lotusworksLeave a comment

2019 is well under way. How has it been for you thus far? It’s been a heavy load to carry for me. I’ve felt the winter blues with the cloudy mid-west skies, as well as cold temps. But as the sun shines today and I feel warming on the New Moon, I too begin to light up again!

I’ve been feeling the call to address our Power of Choice in my own life and in the lives of clients. How this plays out in the old paradigm (if one so chooses to leave it behind) and the New Paradigm (if one so chooses to enter into transformation) As we come into spring around the corner, we get new bursts of life, so this topic feels appropriate.

Sharing from the perspective of spiritual awakening, evolution, Ascension Process, I’d like to talk about taking stock of our free will/power of choice in connection with sovereignty.  First to spotlight sovereignty. More commonly defined as: ‘the full right and power of a governing body over itself, without any interference from outside sources or bodies.’ Usually we hear this used in a political or traditional religious bent, but what I’m addressing here is Personal Sovereignty within a spiritual context.

The easiest & most basic way we can begin to apply this to our lives, is to:
a) Realize your innate Power and Right to choose, for yourself. No one else can choose for you & you cannot choose for others. Only You.
b) Empower yourself via Self-Responsibility. Call back all energies of blame or victim-hood. Take responsibility for what is in your Now reality. Heal/Resolve/Release the past.
c) Act in full Integrity of choosing your Highest Good alignment, along with intending for the highest good of All. Doing the Right Thing, as best as you can, in any given situation.
d) Recognize You are Creating the life you are living, with each thought, emotion & action … the energy with which you are infusing your life.
e) Carry Respect & Honor of the choices of others. Each has their own sovereign right to choose. Destructive behavior or Healthy behavior. We choose what we wish to participate in.
f) Awaken to the Direct Knowing that Love is the guiding principle ie God/Source/Great Spirit/Divine.
g) Realize that YOU are inherently a spark of this Divine Power & hold this force within your own heart. You are a sovereign, divine human.

The old paradigm taught us/programmed humanity that we needed to put our faith & trust & power into the hands of external, man-made, constructed systems, that governed / ruled over / marketed to us, what life was supposed to be. We could say that this was necessary in some ways, because the density (heavy, ignorant, un-knowing, lost, forgetful energetic thoughtforms) of consciousness of humanity needed guidance, because we hadn’t awakened yet to our potential to choose for the best good of self/others. We are clearly still in the residual of this ignorance or spiritual immaturity.

However, as we wake up / heal / remember our innate goodness, we gain a continuous level of maturity … but only if we are functioning from those examples in the list above. It is this spiritual maturity that frees us from the need / reliance on the systems which may in fact have a deeper, unseen agenda which doesn’t promote our ability/right to be sovereign beings.

The New Paradigm is showing us a new reality, that we each can create our lives to reflect our deepest Self, our greatest gifts, our brightest Light, our most expansive Love, our highest Truth.
This requires us to step up into brand new ways of thinking, and going beyond the intellect into following your heart, soul, intuition & inspiration; opening to healing your fragmented, distracted self, in order to embrace self-compassion, self-respect, self-love.

Here we find the desire to choose what is in our highest good, and to desire that same good for all others.

The New Paradigm throws off the chains of the old paradigm of fear, scarcity, loss, victimhood, and anger. These are frequencies /vibrations that continue to breed more of the same.  These qualities of energy fuel hatred, greed, blame & shame, violence, and violation of the sovereignty of others,

If all of this is foreign to you, that is OK. If you don’t know how to move from old paradigm consciousness into the higher frequencies of the New Paradigm, that too is OK. Even if you don’t buy into any of this, that too is OK.

I’m not going to say we snap our fingers & we step into this new reality in an instant. I’m also not going to say that the power to choose is as easy as thinking your way to it. There are steps of clearing any density that inhibits the strength of this innate power. The point is, to become willing, to choose to begin.

We all begin where we are. That means being clear & honest through your own personal inventory and taking responsibility for your next highest good… If you so choose.  The New Paradigm is leaving behind the need to drag ourselves through the mud of pain or disappointment, of endless lessons. The invitation is now to use our Power to Choose, to elevate ourselves, motivated by a desire to access our deepest Truth / Love / Freedom / Peace / Wisdom.

We all have the capacity to create amazing lives of happiness, joy, community, & connection, expressed uniquely through the individual beings of beauty that we are! My prayer is that you feel the call to say “Yes!” to your sovereign being, your power to choose that which will deliver your expansive happiness.

Embodying Light Multidimensional Healing & Light Activation amplify our ability to choose what is in our Highest Good

Light Language is a modality/technology for this time of Ascension/Awakening.
With these high frequencies, based on qualities of Love, Peace, Compassion, Joy, Freedom, the healing & activations help us to rise up out of the fray of our past emotional habitual patterns, chaos & stories we’ve created, consciously or unconsciously.

It breaks up these patterns of density, which allow more light to enter into our system.

We connect to our Highest Self wisdom, which directs us away from the painful antics of suffering, self-negation, & programming.

Our energy/consciousness can rise upward from the lower-ego self, into a growing spiritual maturity of our higher energy centers. 

I’m excited to begin tailoring private sessions more directly towards the New Paradigm shifting!  Forward movement into the New Paradigm.

If you feel called to shift your life, contact me to schedule.

Coming Home to the Heart

Published on by lotusworksLeave a comment

The darkness of winter is upon us, and so are it’s blessings. While we think of holiday’s, celebrating with loved ones, the beauty of white snow, fire light & warmth on cold winter days, there is another element to December.

The darkness, the long nights that grow longer up to Winter Solstice, can be seen as a summons to from Mother Nature & Soul, to take some time to dive within. Especially this year, as we move toward 2019, the call of the darkening days and nights, asks us to reflect deeply on what no longer serves us, what is ready to be released & let go, to die away, so more space for the renewal of Light may enter our heart.

We are in such powerful times of giant leaps of our spiritual awakening & the evolution of humanity. Yet, if we get distracted from our internal promptings, the cycle of Mother Nature, we may miss the moment that awaits us, to fuel with clear intention, the creation of our own new reality.

For myself personally, I can say that I have set myself free from my past tendrils. My return back to Tulsa, was largely inspired by healing the last area of my own inner darkness. To call all of me home, to my own heart. Integration of fragments. What this has meant, is that any last, past regrets, amends, resentments, attachments, unfinished business with others or younger aspects of myself, has now been resolved. At least on my end.

Up until my return here, I’d done much deep work. Over the years my focus was working closely with my own Sacred Shadow. My pain, wounding, confusion, illusions. Gleaning the lessons needed. Letting go of blame, shame, guilt from many other chapters of my life. However, my teen-age years were waiting my full attention. And now, I have completion and closure on my past.

My mind doesn’t carry stories. My heart is more open and soft. My being is more relaxed & silent. I am current, in the here and now. Present, with a spaciousness that feels filled with grace and inner peace. I am whole and live fully in the home of my heart.

When we are carrying around old pain, stories, false beliefs, blaming others or ourselves, our ‘wholeness’ is compromised. We leak energy. We aren’t embodying all of who we are.

As I’ve been consciously doing this process for myself and with clients, I’m seeing more clearly the beautiful transitions. This deeper integration work will become a more focused aspect of my offerings, moving into 2019.

Winter gives us the opportunity to go inside and die to the old self; heal and integrate all that is ready to be shed, that no longer serves our up-liftment.  We can choose to be current, but we must release all that is the past.

As the nights grow darker, the invitation is to utilize the winter energy to go inward, not be distracted in the outer world. Seek to consciously release the old, to create space for the new light of Solstice to grow within you. Prepare for the 2019 beginning, by allowing all that has come to pass, to integrate, create a new grounding, come home to your heart.

We are receiving the Christed frequency energies this month. How can you make the most of this powerful, sacred time? Allow inner quietude. Limit distractions. Embrace the darkening season. Nestle into all that your heart has to tell you. Listen too, to what qualities within your own being, you wish to create for the new year.

We have a great opportunity to leap into 2019 with our passions & purpose, clarity & vitality, a clear slate & creative vigor!

Many Loving Solstice Blessings,

Lotus

 

We are the Power of These Times ~ Awaken!

Published on by lotusworksLeave a comment

Our awakening happens in cycles & rhythms, ebbs & flows, valleys & peaks, stages & phases, continuous next levels & layers.

The beginning stages/phases often find us desiring greater health, balance, wellness. Exercise, diet, hatha yoga, are some of the new choices we seek out. We feel better, brighter, and with this comes the initial peeking into our emotional/mental landscape, addressing destructive habits, behaviors, re-evaluating people, places, things, in our lives.

At some point if we are to continue on, we often feel called to go deeper. We are ready for the stillness of meditation. We’re called to study, gain spiritual knowledge, explore the more subtle expressions of our reality through understanding/experiences of the energy, in all it’s forms. Our inner lives remain fairly stable & secure, ego has been identified, yet we too are identified with our egoic-personality.

Ahh … but then, again if Soul realizes we are ready to go deeper still, the stages & phases, expand & deepen into the cycles/rhythms, ebbs/flows, valleys/peaks. This is when we often run into a dark night of the soul. Stability & security begins to be a bit more precarious. Soul has a way of ushering us, initiating us into depths of our being, we didn’t know existed, as long as we lived top-side of life, the surface of life, the surface of ourselves.

This phase is not often the spiritual journey we consciously choose, as in the first, feel-good stages of awakening. This is the inner journey, where the rubber meets the road, where all that we’ve known to be true crumbles into ecstatic piles of rubble. Yes, it’s true ecstasy & spiritual death, can live side by side.

Here we dive deep into our own darkness … and don’t be fooled to believe you are free of the cracks & crevices, within your psyche & heart, your cells & tissues, your brain & bones. We live within the confines of our Shadow, until enough Light rays dissolve it’s hold. For when we truly awaken into the deeper levels, we find eons of unresolved lies, pain, distortions, that require space to survive.

Yet, Soul has other plans than only the surface, top-side existence. The valleys grow deep & long as we purge all that has been carried for eons. The identity of personality must be transformed, before we KNOW who we are.

We will rise up to the peak once again, and yes, we will dive down again as well. True awakening isn’t for the faint of heart. It isn’t warm & fuzzy, happy go lucky, when the deep work is being done. We will feel alone & isolated, as the un-initiated can’t comprehend the demolition at hand. And there will be few words that can accurately illustrate the experience happening within.

There are the initial cycles, where the depths & ebbs will be greater than the times of peaks & flows. Hold yourself close & dear, loves. It’s all temporary.

True awakening in the later phase, is for the warrior aspects within us. Here we grow stronger, more vital, learning how face the fire of illusions. And rejoice in the burning.

But not to fret! For there is a purpose to this fire & it’s raging does indeed become warm embers. Whether you wish to call the Awakening that we are undergoing, simply that of Awakening… or Ascension… or the embodiment of Shakti-Kundalini … or … ??? Language matters not. There are no words for the direct experience of dying to who & what we thought we were, & being reborn into the Remembering of the Truth WE ARE.

Dear Ones … those of you in the fire, keep burning!
Keep surrendering! What awaits you, is a deeper Wisdom, beyond what any books, scriptures, intellectual knowledge can convey. For this is the path of Know Thy Self. This is the path of Divine Embodiment.

Once we travel the inner cycles/rhythms, we are freed up of the chains that once held us captive, without our even knowing we were prisoners. We come out the other side, with a lightness of being, the realization that Love abounds & is unceasingly present. The density of all that was, has now enabled more levity, spaciousness, faith & trust, Light.

Concepts of our purity, goodness & love, transform into KNOWING & Being, the Divine Humans that we are that have awoken those divine qualities within.

The Freedom & Joy of traversing the depths, facing the fires, allowing the crumbling of all we’ve held true, is that we have access then to next leveling, upon next leveling, into heights that we never expected of knew existed.

This is the power of our time. We were made for this time. 
If you are in the stage of crumbling, break down, Sweetness!
You were made for this process! 
This process awaits us all. This is the transformational, evolutionary event of our being. 
And it is a never ending journey.

Rejoice! As the true beauty that you ARE awaits you!

Creators, we are!

Published on by lotusworks2 Comments

It’s that time of year again. The wheel has turned and we are just at the cusp of the winter holidays ~ Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, and New Years. Before we even begin, lets first recognize that the expectation that we are supposed to be happy, joyous and free during these months, can be a heavy load for some. I feel it’s important to be sensitive to the variety of experiences people have at this time of year.

Not all experience the holidays with such an outlook. Some people experience feeling of loss and loneliness. Others feel the stress of money. Introverts may feel overwhelmed with socializing. And those who don’t have close, loved ones in their lives can feel very isolated. It’s important to remember, that even though there can be great joy for many, these holidays are indeed a collective thought form that we have been programmed to buy into. And the key word here is ‘buy’. ie spend money, over indulge, experience excess, thanks to corporate agenda’s. But that is NOT what this post is about, lest I get distracted. However, it is a way of consoling those who may feel the rumblings of ‘Bah! Humbug’ settling in. It is ok if these days, are just another day.

I don’t want to focus on the holidays per se. Instead, I’d like to talk about the creators that we are. That regardless how we hold the holidays, that just like all days, we have the power to cultivate our own inner experience.

Do you believe this to be true?

That’s an important question to begin with. If we don’t have that faith and trust in our ability to literally create the emotional experience in our lives, that we choose, then we won’t. Now, I’m not going to blow rainbows and sparkles up you know where.

It’s not always easy.

It does require acknowledging & understanding what causes you unhappiness, restlessness, fear, anxiety, hate, and self-rejection.

It requires commitment & dedication to your own healing & self wisdom.

And, it actually takes practice, flexing your emotional/mental muscles, to create and maintain high frequency states of being.

But the good news is, you CAN begin to make shifts, even if you haven’t yet realized that your Soul/Highest Self long for your person-hood to be Happy, Joyous and Free!

Let’s start, shall we? 

Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths.
Breathe slowly, deeply, until you feel yourself relaxing.

After you’ve settled into yourself for a moment, bring a memory of something that you can’t help but smile about.
Allow the smile to take over!
(My memory is of my dogs that I used to have. As soon as I see them in my minds eye, my heart explodes, and an uncontrollable smile takes over my whole face.)

Find that kind of memory and really FEEL the emotion. Keep your eyes closed and just feel all of that for a couple of minutes.
Let this frequency vibrate through your being

Once you have connected the memory, to the feeling, continue to let this experience/feeling/frequency vibrate through your being.
Allow yourself to feel how amazing the feeling, feels.

This is the entry point.
Every morning before you rise, every night as you’re going to sleep, any moment that opens up for you during the day … Close your eyes, breathe, let the smile bloom across your face, feel this memory fill your being with whatever the positive qualities are that plugs you into your Light.

This is Your Light. Your Radiance. Your Joy. Your Enthusiasm.

Soon, you won’t need the memory. Your smile will become enlivening. Your physiology & biology, brain & heart will soon rewire itself, enabling you to access higher emotional states, raising your frequency, with ease & grace! 

This practice will also help you to become aware of those habitual thoughts, feelings, stories, stresses, decisions, and beliefs, that literally bring you down. That is, lower your frequency.

That is, bring about depression, sadness, anger … you get the picture. There’s no need for concern or judgment. This is simply information pointing you in the direction of your healing work. The denser feelings are simply teachers, pointing out where we still carry pain or dishonor of self, wearing a myriad of masks.

You will get to choose, over & over,
“Do I wish to continue to cultivate/create my own Joy?”
“Am I willing to do the inner work?” 
Or, “Do I choose to remain, maintain, in a space that either brings me suffering or resting in a comfortable status quo.”  

To choose more happiness, joy, freedom, peace, heart connections, abundance, and celebration of life, will require some effort. There’s no quick, lasting fix. The only way to the other side, is through the denser frequencies and raising them through deeper & higher awareness.

So, as we enter this holiday season, wherever you find yourself emotionally, be gentle with the preciousness that you are. May you find this simple practice a helpful tool to increase the joy that you may already be filled with, because there is no end to how high we can go! And if you are feeling sad, lonely, or frustrated, I hope this assists in bringing you some levity of spirit, to your heart & mind.

Here’s to coming into Joy & Harmony with yourself, so your can see that reflected back to you over this time of Gratitude & Peace.

With Love, 

Lotus

A New Mind for Merging the Divine Feminine & Masculine

Published on by lotusworksLeave a comment

The sacred energies of the Divine Feminine are being felt more prominently, more often & for more people.  The Ascension Process is well underway, affecting all of humanity, whether we know we’re being affected or not. Our old brain is being upgraded & created a’new, for a more balanced way of being.

What does this really mean & how can we grasp this in a tangible way.  Well, I won’t begin to assume I know to the far reaches of what this really means. However, I can attest to the experiential significance of this reality,  which for me goes back at least a decade.

Since the early 2000’s, I’ve had many patches of time where my mind refused to ‘function’ in the fashion I’d previously been accustomed to. Early on, I understood this to be a bi-product of the deepening of my meditation practice.

For brief periods of time, I’d not know the day, date, month, or year. And I really didn’t care. It didn’t seem important. I’d find myself just sitting peacefully, daydreaming, feeling emptied of cares & worries, or even thoughts.  In the early days, this would last a day or two and then, “Wa-La!” the next day would bring me back to the good ol’ linear, rational, logical, thinking. I could track time, it was easier to attach to stressful thoughts, and I could project into and plan for the future.

Over time, and in particular around 2013, this all changed drastically. The short spans of time grew into gradual levels of a new normal. What did the New Norm look like?

My memory no longer held information that was superfluous, regardless of what my personality thought was important to continue to carry with me. And it wasn’t dementia, which was a mild fear.

The thought process had great challenges in once again, tracking time. I eventually let go of needing to. 

The mind felt foggy & mushy. 

I felt like daydreaming A LOT.  The mind felt soft & wavy. 

There were spells of dizziness. This wasn’t any kind of nervous disorder. 

I didn’t feel the need to be in control or the world around me. Which had been a major survival habit since as back as far as I could remember. 

I entered into a magical flow by surrendering & letting my mind go … though the necessary shifts being created, that is. 

There were more nuanced changes, but this has been the most obvious thus far.

For thousands of years, we’ve been functioning under the qualities of the predominantly  masculine energy. Though the masculine qualities are necessary for a balanced way of living & thinking, it has been grossly imbalanced, as most of us realize.

I don’t believe this topic is as cut & dry as this post expresses, but lets keep it simple, right? The brain can be seen as holding masculine, yang, qualities in it’s Left-side functioning.  The Right-side, the feminine holds more of our creative, emotive, I like the word spiraling, way of functioning.  It helps us to access more expansive brain-wave states, which connect us more acutely to our own Soul & subtle bodies. This also supports us in receiving higher wisdom, rather than a limited intellectual understanding.

As we’ve been moving forward along the awakening process, we’re slowly being taught how to function from more of the Right side, the feminine side of the brain. And in this process, it can be challenging & inconvenient for the way our society & it’s systems have been set up.

The invitation we’re receiving from these periods of foggy headed times, is to surrender to the change, which is in essence a profound transformation of consciousness.

The invitation is to begin to create more space in your life, maybe restructure your life, so that your more able to let go into this divine flow.

The invitation is to take some time out … rest, daydream, watch the sky & trees, sleep.  Allow the no-mind it’s space, & witness the space this creates within you & your heart.

We need not be alarmed with this change, and the better we roll with it, the more ease & grace we’ll experience. Also, it’s quite exciting to realize that a divine consciousness is evolving through us … we’re in the midst of an amazing period of time, where we can begin to truly witness & embrace humanity transforming!

As always, with any Ascension symptoms that may be new to you, or that you feel it’s best to seek medical assistance, please do. However, if the results come back clear, you can rest in the fact that the experiences you’re having are something to celebrate, not fear!

We may swing to the side of the Right-sided Feminine brain expressions before we come to balance out with the Left-sided Masculine, yet when they form a new dance together of harmony & balance, we’ll be functioning from a new mind & a new way of living & a new world we’re living in!

Here’s to humanity’s merging of our New Mind! 

Blessings & Love, 

Lotus

 

 

Ode to Just Being

Published on by lotusworksLeave a comment

In the morning stillness
my gaze rests 
on the sunlight dancing on the canopy of leaves.

Each breath out,
I release all the mind
believes me to be.

As I breathe into the empty spaces
I am filled with the songs of birds, 
the whispers of trees, 
the pulsing dance of Mother Earth
and Cosmic Light.

In the surrender of just being, 
I am evermore connected
to the loving wisdom of Life, 
& I am evermore connected.

Are You Awakening?

Published on by lotusworks1 Comment

“Spiritual awakening refers to a shift in consciousness, a perception of reality which had been previously unrealized. The culmination of such realizations is in the recognition of oneness with all of existence.”  from the Urban Dictionary

This is a good comprehensive description of awakening. I would add, that awakening is an on-going process for the vast majority … but only if we engage with the process consciously.

Awakening is the topic of our time, because it’s a very real, exciting, evolutionary leap that humanity is making present day.

But what does this really mean?

What does this feel & look like?

Who does it affect?

Why does it matter? 

Who is awakening?

I can only share from my personal, direct experience & from witnessing the journey of others, whether it be friends, family, or clients.  As the quote from the Urban Dictionary expresses above, as we begin to wake-up, our perceptions change & consciousness expands. Yet this can still seem quite vague to some still asleep or just on the cusp of waking.

It helps me to break it down in specific, tangible examples, even though it can often defy any kind of concrete description. Waking-up is a deeply personal voyage we take into our own heart & soul.  As we awaken, our perceptions of what we believed to be true  begin to shift, morph, fall away & expand. This may happen in a flash from an intense experience that forever changes our awareness. Or it may happen subtly, over time, from beginning a practice of  yoga or meditation. It may also come on in trauma, from an injury or illness, or perhaps from the loss of someone we loved dearly.

Rumi wrote in this poem, a key phrase: Don’t go back to sleep. 

For years, copying other people, I tried to know myself.
From within, I couldn’t decide what to do.
Unable to see, I heard my name being called.
Then I walked outside.

The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you.
Don’t go back to sleep.
You must ask for what you really want.
Don’t go back to sleep.
People are going back and forth across the door sill
where the two worlds touch.
The door is round and open.
Don’t go back to sleep.

 

What does this look & feel like? Before we begin our awakening, we are living in a state of slumber, asleep without knowing it. We most likely won’t even understand the meaning of being asleep, until we begin to wake.

While asleep, we are living from unconscious programs & conditioning. There is an acceptance of thought forms & beliefs that we learn form the majority. This majority may include family, education systems, culture, societal rules, etc. They tend towards thing in terms of black & white, right & wrongs; judgments, prejudices, fears & divisions, that have crept into our psyche by osmosis; the systems that ‘run’ the world are rarely questioned; and the mundane, contentment of empty entertainment/substances as the stress release from the accepted pressures of ‘this is how life is’ resolve.

But when we begin to awaken, we begin to question, we begin to seek, we desire to know more deeply who we are & why are we here. Although for me, those questions weren’t quite that clear, however as I awoke, I came closer to what seemed like the answers.

The process may be as soft as a whisper or as abrupt as thunder.

The purpose of life may take on new meaning, perhaps a new creativity springs forth, or an unquenchable thirst for learning becomes a driving force. Many experience the desire to change their eating habits to a kinder diet. Others may begin feeling called to seek truth & justice, via activism. Some find a strong call to connect with nature, while others find the need for emotional healing. Still others seek God/Spirit directly.

As we begin to look at ourselves & the world through new colored lenses, our mind & heart expand into new realizations and epiphanies.  There are new qualities of being that are accessed. While some may begin to experience as sense of Peace for the first time ever, another may feel newly energized after being previously identified by depression.

One may experience states of Bliss or Joy. This realization awakens them to another level of expanded awareness ~ that our true inner expression IS Bliss or Joy, not the personality with whom we’ve thought ourselves to be!

There are as many unique expressions of waking-up, as there are souls.

What does this mean?  Waking up, Awakening … means, we are accessing new levels of awareness, consciousness, knowing of ourselves beyond all that we have believed when we were asleep. It is this expansion of consciousness which also helps us to connect more deeply with our Soul, with the desire for more Truth, Justice, or Freedom, to feel more Peace, Compassion, Harmony, Higher Connection.

It is this expansion of consciousness which also connects us more to our heart intelligence, to Love, to our intuition, and to an inner guidance that deeply supports us in becoming free-thinking, verse conforming to the collective, mass consciousness, blindly.

Awakening inspires us to realize that we carry emotional/mental wounds. A deeper awareness begins to inform us, that these hurts we carry, often compel us to hurt ourselves & others, whether we mean to or not.  If we continue to stay open & willing to awaken, we’re inspired to heal our wounds, resolve hurts with others, and eventually to expand our focus from our individual lives, into how we can serve our sisters, brothers, Mother Nature & all living beings.

What I once believed as black & white, becomes grey & the full spectrum of color.

Where once I saw our world from one dimension, now expands to many. 

That which was once experienced as solid, is now all energy.

Though in the past I believed myself to be seperate from you, truly we are all connected.

And as we continue on the path of awakening, we begin to find it is unending, never dull, always full of wonder & magic, and that there are stages & phases of growth & change, upon stages & phases of expansion. We grow into our Wholeness. We transform. Our life transforms. . . Beautifully & continually.

Why does this matter & who does it affect?  This matters tremendously because it affects everyone! Firstly, it affects each of us, as expressed above. Secondly, our world is in desperate need of awakened hearts & minds. Souls who have healed themselves, and can bring that harmonized, balanced, clear perspective to all Life.

Our collective consciousness & those leading the majority thought forms on our planet, have been deeply asleep, separated from their own loving depths of being.  As we awaken, we become the new free-thinking, expansive, exploring higher states of being consciousness. This uplifts all of humanity & Mother Earth.

Each of us matter. And each one of us who takes on the responsibility of Awakening, makes an impact.

Who is Awakening?  My guess is, that if you’re reading this, you’ve begun! Many more around the world are beginning this amazing, glorious mass awakening at hand today, as it is written in the stars, so to speak, and the energy of this time on Earth.

Awakening isn’t a one time event. We may have a great moment or period of time, where everything is opening up in a new way. There may be a powerful epiphany which has re-set the course of a life. This is awesome & perfect. But, in the way in which I hold this awareness, that doesn’t mean we’re awake. That means we’re on the path, we’re in process, and the path is stretched our before us to continue our journey.

Some of us choose this path, because the old ways of our life aren’t bringing us happiness, health, freedom.  Some begin awakening because their Soul & Life has deemed it time! The beauty is, we don’t need to be in crisis to begin. We simply need to choose.

Are you awakening? Ultimately, you’re the only one who can answer that.

Seek within your own heart & being. Listen to that still small voice.

In quoting Rumi again … Can you hear “the breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you”?

Listen … and “Don’t go back to sleep!”

Calling Forth Our Wholeness

Published on by lotusworksLeave a comment
Calling forth our ancient self, we are remembering the skills, gifts, talents, as they flow through us with intuitive knowing. We have been carrying our divine calling within us all along & they are asking to be enlivened.

Calling forth our future self, we become ready to receive, through our present being, that which we are ready to learn & create as we move forward.

Stretch the mind & expand the heart,

for these will be the points of access.

It is these precious points of meeting, within our present self, that our divine blueprints, our divine calling & purpose, continue to be activated & upgraded, in each present-Now, to manifest our innate Love & Light in service to all.

We are more than just the personality we see/know. We each have a higher consciousness, our Highest Self, in connection with the Divine/God/Goddess/Universe/Spirit which we are being invited to call forth with greater consistency & clarity.

We may also call this our inner teacher, our intuition, our deepest knowings, our soul-call, which inspires us to awaken to the fullness of our being, which expands & extends beyond the time & space that we perceive.

This Highest Self is always with us, like a guardian angel. Though at first it is most often perceived as outside of us, we soon find, these aspects of our very own self, are rooted within us, simply awaiting us to become aware of the guiding presence within our heart.

Blessings!
