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,

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

 

 

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!

Commitment to Rise

Published on by lotusworksLeave a comment

Embrace that which creates more genuine Joy, Peace & Harmony, in your being .

Allow your choices to carry the ever up-grading vibratory signatures, which will support your ability to hold new levels of Light & Love in your heart. 

I once had a discussion with one of my teachers, about 6 months after receiving Kriya initiation. I was inquiring whether it was ok to back off from my practice if the increasing energy in my system and the expansion process felt ‘too much’?

His reply was, “Of course you may. But also remember, if you don’t acclimate to the new levels of energy that are creating transformation, you will not acclimate to the new levels, and transformation will not take place.”

As you release the old ways, which you have believed to be you, loss is a natural feeling. 

But remember, the space being cleared out, left empty & as a void, is the Space for Grace. It is then you can be filled with more Light, which will truly serve your upliftment & Joy. 

 

Feeling called to activate your rising to the next level?

Blessings on Rising!

Life Reflects Choices

Published on by lotusworksLeave a comment

The last few days of incoming energies, has spiked the frequency for us all once again, as we come closer to the Full Moon on Tuesday.

In making inner/outer space for these higher vibrations, I’ve listened to my body & taken more down-time, quiet-time, drank more water & have been grounding outside, connecting with Mama Nature.

Light Language has been streaming through, upgrading & upshifting my being. And messages have been sing-song-ing through…

Choices. We are being reminded of the importance of our choices. To keep aligning with the higher frequencies & increasing our ability to integrate them, we must continuously make the moment by moment choices regarding our habits, beliefs, thought processes, where we put our attention, what we put into our body, what serves as entertainment, how we spend our free time/energy, who we keep company with.

None of this is new. The yogic teachings have been guiding us for thousands of years, into deepening our awareness & choosing wisely of the people, places, things, thoughts & actions, which are of higher vibration/frequency.

Are we calling into our lives those things which cultivate more Life, Harmony, Peace, Beauty, Love, Compassion, etc?

Are we taking the steps to let go of outworn, dense, heavy, habitual energies which we have grown comfortable with?

This will be different for each, depending on where we are at, at any given time. Our awareness & understanding is continuously expanding, each rung of the ladder we climb. Just keep climbing.

We have free-will to choose whether we will release those things/behaviors that create cycles of suffering, pain, disappointment, frustration, anger & fear. We may feel a loss, a void, yet it creates more space for Grace to uplift us.

We are invited to embrace that in life which lifts us & affirms in us, to the highest/deepest knowing, of our Goodness, Beauty, Preciousness, Soul Power & the Loving beings that we are.

As we embrace these qualities in ourselves & Life, this is what Life will be reflecting back to us.

We are stepping into new ways of being & doing. We are creating a new world, by re-creating how we live, think & by amplifying the higher frequencies held in the spaciousness of Love.

These sounds & tones of divine speech, are known and understood by our heart & Soul. They assist us in releasing outdated programs that keep us stuck in patterns which no longer serve our happiness & highest good.

Light Language activates aspects of the self which aspires toward spiritual awakening, greater Love, Compassion, Faith & Trust, Inner Peace & connection to the Divine.

We are learning more about the power of sound healing/vibrational healing. Light Language is another form of this which allows deep shifts to occur.

Light Language, though relatively new to many, has been known since ancient times. It has been called, ‘Music of the Sphere’s’, ‘Singing into the Spirit’, ‘Angelic Language & ‘Heavenly Language’ to name a few, as well as Soul Languages.

These sounds & divine speech is known & understood by our heart & Soul. They assist us in releasing outdated programs that keep us stuck in patterns which no longer serve our highest good.

You are a Divine Human, Becoming What You’ve Always Been

Published on by lotusworksLeave a comment

I often find myself repeating,

“This is not a metaphor”

along the path of spiritual unfolding.

The awakening process is a very dynamic & on-going process, with stages & phases, and more stages & phases. The courage that it takes to continually & consciously travel its path requires a funny kind of will. The willingness to surrender.

It’s in the surrender that the expressions of the Divine become manifest in our humanness. Our humanness is indeed the container that is meant to hold the frequencies of divine Light & Love.
This is not a metaphor.

The awakening process allows the human body/systems/energetics to transform, in order to hold & express Divinity here on Earth. This time of Ascension, Awakening, are preparing our beings as vessels of Love.

This is magical.

This is alchemical.

This is evolution.

This is natural.

This is literal 🙂 This is not a metaphor ❤

You are a Divine Human, Becoming what you’ve always been.

We are all opening, expanding, rising to a new way of being!
What a ride of wonderment, for each of us in our own way!
❤ & Blessings ~

Are You Digging or Soaring?

Published on by lotusworksLeave a comment

Once upon a time, we lived under a spell of blindness, a darkness, tunneling away under ground, like little moles, striving to get somewhere, but unclear where that really was. We were governed by fear & survival instincts, trying to remain safe.

Then we evolved to experience the nature of beauty & ease as our perception felt the bounty, as it ran through the trees & meadows, topside. With many distractions to soothe anxieties of the unknown, our consciousness altered with glimpses of freedom, yet always the undercurrent of fight/flight presence. Like a deer, there has been a vigilance of guarding our well-being, playing by the rules laid forth by ‘nature’.

Now we are evolving once again. We are becoming the soaring & grace of birds. With this new birds-eye-view, it’s easier to see the ways of limited perception, the perception still harnessed-yet loosening the earth plane. As we ride the waves of the wind, we see the group thought/hive mind/programmed thinking that has held us all in bondage, whether we’ve been aware or not. We see the chaos & turmoil in many directions, attempting to keep us chained to insecurity, division, confusion & fear. From this vantage point of expanse, we can see the false teachings that humanity is somehow ‘bad’, however now we witness the true radiance of our Light rising from the surface.

For now we are experiencing a mass awakening, the Ascension process knocking on our heart’s door, inviting us to step simultaneously upward & inward, raising our frequency to imbibe the essence of our Truth.

And in its rise, the purging of illusion pours forth. But don’t stay focused there. The hypnotics may pull your awareness back down into the tunnel.

At this juncture we each have a choice to make moment to moment, day to day…

From where will you perceive?

From grace, freedom & Light?

From addiction to suffering, your fears & following the voice of group thought-programs?

We are asked to continue to choose our healing, in order to access the Knowing that we are Whole/Wholy …

What are you choosing?

We are assisted with greater force to heal what keeps us stuck in that which locks us in our fears. We are assisted to realize that there are greater heights to rise in our awareness & continuous depths we can grow in Love. We are realizing that all of that which helps us to soar is found within the love & honor for ourselves, so that we can love & honor others.

Birds are akin to Angels, some say. We are being called to spread our wings, rise above into the New Earth … Which in essence is creating a new world right here- a new paradigm for living in freedom & joy, As we anchor the Light that has always been within us here on our planet, the frequency of all beings rise.

Can you feel it’s time to let go of these old ways & choose your freedom?

Blessings in Choosing the Highest ~
