Much of what seems so real in this physical dimension is not the entire Truth of who we are and/or what we can do. Over the last decade, I have allowed myself to both explore and expand beyond the physical, mental and emotional boundaries I thought were rigidly in place in this "reality". What I found was an aspect of Self that I had forgotten was there. I offer these wonderings and wanderings as an invitation to see beyond "what meets the eye", MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) and "why can't I?" in your life!
As I typed "Dive in to Life" onto this doggie image I selected to illustrate this message, I couldn't actually see what I was typing because the font was set to 4 pixels. When I enlarged it, I saw I had typed "Divine to Life" my alignment with the message amplified! How wonderful that "dive in" is held within the word "divine"! I would venture to exclaim ... "here we have another TRUTH (self mastery strategy) hidden in plain sight!
The energy of expansion, growth, experiencing what life has to offer us in this realm is so close ... urging us to embrace life, even calling us. The choice is ours to push that calling back into the depths (consciously or unconsciously), ponder that call, or take that leap. There's never been a better time to shed fear, guilt, remorse, blame, self-consciousness and DIVE IN to life!
I observed a beautiful illustration of this message in action, unexpectedly, delivered by "man's best friend" ... well, actually two of them.
I spied the two dogs in the distance as Joe and I were taking our first boat cruise of the season (I offer lakefront spiritual expansion and healing retreats in this idyllic shangri-la!). The two black labs were at the end of a dock. One looked anxiously into the water; the second would look in the water, then retreat ... seeming even more anxious than the first. Eventually, the latter looked as though she was going to get off the dock. Instead, she turned back toward the water, charged for the end of the dock and jumped.
She swam into shore, shook off, ran up the stairs and back onto the dock. Meanwhile the first lab, just watched the other, but was now even further from the edge of the dock, seemingly still unsure about taking a similar leap.
I expected the dog that had dived in to go back to the end of the dock and jump in again. She didn't. Instead she jumped into the boat tied to the dock and ran to the bow, staying there for a few seconds. I watched, now wondering why would the dog get in the boat with no humans around. Soon the answer came and it brought me so much joy.
She emerged from the boat and ran back to the end of the dock. She whipped her head 'round and "threw" a tennis ball out into the water. Then she took some steps back, pausing as if to calculate how to jump, and lunged into the water, nearly on top of the ball. Still, the other dog watched obviously wanting to join the fun, but unable to JUMP.
It's an age-old conundrum ... do we wait, assess, worry, imagine every possible bad thing that could happen ... or do we take that leap, find it's fun, and push ourselves even further, or even take the joy of the leap to an entirely more joy-filled level? Which dog do you identify with? I have learned to root out and illumine my fears, wounds, challenge because there in lies the greatest opportunities for expansion, joy, LOVE!
Take a moment to assess what's holding you back from diving into life, your Divine Life ... the life in which you are guided by the Knowing that you truly "have nothing to fear but fear itself" (FDR, 1933)! Imagine that the angst you may feel in the pit of your stomach, your solar plexus, your personal power potential, is not fear because you may/will fail, IT's YOUR GREATNESS CALLING YOU to DivINe (dive in) to LIFE!
In THIS NOW, we have so many choices, so many freedoms, and a world of resources. One of the most powerful personal tools I have found in moving forward from our fears is to view them as SELF SABOTAGE. This does require that we OWN that we are not here by chance, we are here by CHOICE. That can be a process of our own spiritual sovereignty and soul empowerment, so give yourself Grace. But allow yourSELF to remember: we've got what it takes (from lifetimes of trials and victories) to be THE GAME CHANGERS in this auspicious time!
Awareness = The Power of Choice = The Power to Change. See that some of our fears are seeded as burdens from our lineage ... yet I KNOW we volunteered to shut that shit down for those who came before us (and didn't have awareness, choice OR power) and those who will follow! Introspection and insights from a spiritual intuitive can help you understand the root of your "struggles" and more easily turn them into the actual OPPORTUNITY in alignment with Our Highest Good!
Dive in! Make a BIG splash! Yes, you'll get wet and some times you may even swallow a bit of water. Whatever you are looking at longingly, dive into AND PAST the fear that holds you back. Breathe into your stomach, and expand your solar plexus. Transmute the intensity of fear in the simple Knowing of your value, your power, the importance of playing and holding the vibration of joy and expansion within your BEing! Ultimately, life is about the living, the vibe to thrive ... releasing your fears, throwing your own ball into the water, and diving in after it. What fun!
Have we ever heard people say that "Life is too long"? This NOW is your unique and special moment. Understand the choices you have unconsciously been making that are holding you back from living. Again, see fear, self-consciousness, regret, self-doubt and the desire to please everyone before yourSELF as self sabotage! I am here for you if you'd like spiritual guidance, help in releasing denser emotions and ancestral programming, and clarity on what the challenges of your life are trying to provide to you.
"Do not follow where the path may lead; go instead where there is no path and leave a trail."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
SEEze your immense birthright ... an unlimited potential for growth, expansion, even JOY ... hidden in plain sight, yet within your power to overcome and bring the "Purpose" you may be searching for! When YOU are hiding or holding back, you are not connecting with yourSELF!
I see YOU,
