Broken Rhythms

Only When Rhythm Is Broken Can You Once Again Find It

“There is need for balance in this life, the need to step out of a routine and do something completely different. When you go on doing the same thing day in day out, year in year out, you can so easily become stale and even drained. Therefore step out fearlessly from time to time and do something totally different and then return to the work on hand refreshed and revitalised, ready for anything. Rhythm is very necessary but there are times when rhythm is taken so much for granted it becomes meaningless and it is only when that rhythm is broken you can once again find it, see it in a completely different light and see the true meaning and reason for rhythm. Stop in what you are doing and give thanks for everything and realise how mightily blessed you are.” Eileen Caddy

Ascension or Descension?

Today, as on all days, I read my friend Laura Bruno’s Blog.

She always has some amazing and practical wisdom to express, lately and often, re-posting from other wise souls’ blogs. Recently we’ve heard about sovereignty, ascension, the solar feminine and the heavy hitting, yet expansive astrological influences.

Featured in today’s Oracle Report, were solar flares and the tools of grounding and anchoring: one of my favorite topics–the grounding part!

So many people in my town are very spiritual, though they lack grounding and ownership of their bodies. They flit around as though they are pure light, bumping into things, not paying much attention to how their bodies and actions affect other people.

They are unconcerned with whether or not they actualize any of that wonderful spiritual energy in the mundane world, and often take stance against those who do, pointing fingers at so-called “lesser beings.”

They’re also really bad drivers parking askew in already scarce spaces!

Okay, enough of that, but you get the idea–the part about embodying spiritual energy as opposed to seeing, feeling and experiencing it all “out there” somewhere.

Humbly speaking, my biggest hurdle in life has always been about anchoring myself here on this planet. When I was a kid my feet burned when they touched the ground, so I often sat cross-legged with my feet up in the chairs. Besides, it was so much more fun to fly around without limitation, playing in the ethers. So you see, I could easily be one of those bad parking, finger pointers.

When I was 32, I learned to ground the hard way, after a lot of body fear, anxiety, and other crazy pictures about what it meant to live in human form. Life (my soul) gave me the experiences I needed to realize how painful an existence it could be, outside my body.

That’s when I finally acquiesced and decided to live here on planet Earth.

Now, back to the topic of the day. Without grounding, like any electrical current, solar flares will burn out our nervous systems and the nerve centers of our technology very quickly. So if you are one of those people who likes to fly rather than walk, disembody energies rather than anchor them, you and all your electrical conveniences could be in for a big surprise–that is if you haven’t already experienced that very phenomenon!

What does this have to do with ascension? Well, here are some reflections on that potentiality, assuming we will ascend. Just wondering….

1. To become lighter, or to raise our vibration, we need to allow more light into our beings, right?

2. Since the chakra centers and subtle body connections are housed inside our natural (physical) bodies, this is most likely where the action is and will remain, eh?

3. If we leave our natural bodies-taking our energy out into the ethers, how do we experience expansion in the way of the ascended masters? Didn’t Jesus take his natural body with him when he ascended?  That was the whole miracle, wasn’t’ it?

4. If we rise up to meet our higher chakras in the 4th and 5th dimension, where will our natural bodies go…how will those physical vessels evolve without us inside?

5. What if, and this is just an idea, instead of rising or ascending out of the natural body into those other chakra dimensions, we simply open our bodies to receive the energies of the higher chakras–those that currently exist outside of our body?

I’m wondering if this is what we could call descension. Another way of ascending in our strangely paradoxical Universe!

And don’t’ forget to read Laura Bruno’s Blog…maybe something will sound out loudly, maybe you’ll even get some answers.

Enjoy your day and your descent into the wonders of grounding and anchoring!

 

 

Cats Under a Hot Tin Roof

This is life at the lofts in 90 degrees plus–outside anyway.

Inside, under the metal roof, it may be over 100 degrees…unless of course there is a lovely little air conditioning unit!

Even the cats don’t want to be outside…instead they snooze gratefully…feeling lucky they don’t live in Boulder or Colorado Springs. As they sleep, Rikki and Loosey are sending blessings to the 32,000 evacuees and all the creatures in the forest.

 

Lord’s Prayer: Original Aramaic

“O Birther!

Father-Mother of the Cosmos, focus your light within us–make it useful.

Create your reign of unity now through our fiery hearts and willing hands.

Help us love beyond our ideals and sprout acts of compassion for all creatures.

Animate the Earth within us; we then feel the wisdom underneath supporting all.

Untangle the knots within so that we can mend our hearts’ simple ties to each other.

Don’t let surface things delude us, but free us from what hold us back from our true purpose.

Out of you, the astonishing fire, returning light and sound to the cosmos.”

Amen

Translation by Neil Douglas-Klotz in “Prayers of the Cosmos.”

Dear Old Friends…and New,

In the past I was willing to compromise myself…now I am not.

Not too awfully long ago, I needed you and that’s why I put myself aside.

Surprise! I don’t need you anymore…and I’m listening to my inner voice, a lot!

Before now, I was ready and almost anxiously waiting to sell my soul, just to have a friend.

I am not desperate, so that’s not happening!

Up until very recently, I was a garbage can waiting for your trash.

The trash collectors ran over and smashed my can yesterday…so I can no longer serve you in this way.

Yes, I know you are feeling lost and confused…I know it took you a long, long time to train me to take out your trash…I’m really sorry you are having these experiences…and I’m not at all sad that you have to find another place to put all those unresolved emotions.

Yet you see, you are not my job, anymore…I will never again make space for you and not me…I am not willing to be present for you at the risk of losing myself.

Right now I’m looking for equality in my relationships…equal give and take…honest expression…personal responsibility.

It may take a while to find this–probably a bit longer than it will take you to find another garbage can–I know, so I’m also learning about patience, self-worth and vertical living.

Anyone out there?

 

Fields of Influence: Intuition, Clairvoyance, Clairsentience, Empathy

There you are, lying anxiously on the massage table waiting for the therapist to begin. Your body is still wound up from a day at work. Your mind races and deep inside you feel as though you’re going to vibrate right off the table. As soon as the therapist’s hands touch your body, you are jello.

There are many explanations for this response, including, simply, one that is tactile. Let’s look further and interpret it as a form of intuition. In this massage instance, it’s a physical body sensation based in our ability to physically feel energy from outside ourselves–it’s called “clairsentience.”

Even though there are many relaxing stimuli present–quiet music, evocative scent, soft color–the therapist transmits something through her hands that goes beyond what triggers all the usual senses.

The following experiences convey various types of intuition, even telepathy. Some are pretty simple and are sort of the norm for us all. Others are a bit more complex and until fairly recently have remained hidden to the mainstream behind a thin veil of fear or discomfort, even denial. All involve what is often called the metaphysical realms–energetic or spiritual experiences–beyond the physical.

It takes willingness to see things differently and a bit of dedicated practice to bring the pieces of the puzzle together. Even if you’ve been intuitive all your life, are you ready to take it further, to own it 24-7? Are you willing to engage with it in a more truly responsible realm for the greater good? Read and gauge these scenarios for yourself; have you ever experienced anything like them? Do you want to experience more of the same with consciousness?

-You walk by a building and feel a cold chill.

-You’re driving down the freeway and suddenly feel the spiky rush of adrenalin pulsing through your body. Not a car in sight, a mile down the road you come across a serious accident.

-You aren’t a sports enthusiast, yet are talked into a professional soccer game while traveling through Chile. The closer you get to the stadium, the more excited you become.

-A woman awakens at 3:15am mountain time feeling all the symptoms of a heart attack. Gasping for air, she holds her heart and wonders whether or not she should call 911. Instead she walks around the living room, sweating and panicking with chest pain. She does her best to breathe deeply and slowly until the symptoms finally clear away nearly an hour later. This woman’s mother calls the following day with news of her father who had experienced a heart attack at approximately 2:15am Pacific time.

These are clairsentient experiences–intuition through body sensation.

-In another time, a woman is walking through her castle garden with her husband holding his arm. She spontaneously gasps and squeezes tightly, her eyes widening. She turns quickly to his chest, looking up into his eyes and murmurs without apparent cause, “she’s been taken.” At the same time in a different part of the country, this woman’s daughter has just been tattooed with the priestess’ crescent moon symbol on her forehead.

-A man lays down on his living room carpet to stretch his back and relax. Suddenly an image of his wife comes to mind…she is making love to someone else. The man sobs uncontrollably, watching as the image plays out in full-length and color. Later he confronts his wife and she admits to the affair.

-One Friday, a woman begins to see the image of an acquaintance in her mind and out in her energy field as well. This image is tenacious, and no matter how many times she clears her mind and field, this face does not go away. Gradually the woman’s head begins to pound, her body goes into fear, she tosses and turns for two nights. Thoughts of this face are rampant, preoccupying her mind throughout the weekend. On Monday she calls that acquaintance to set up a brief tea date. The conversation reveals an incident that took place on Thursday that validates & explains the presence of this face around her the last few days. As soon as the conversation is complete, the face disappears, the thoughts stop, and the woman sleeps again.

These are all clairvoyant (clear sight) experiences; the second and third are also empathic (ability to feel others emotions); the third is probably clairaudient as well.

-A woman rests in her hotel room. Suddenly, a quick short breath throws her head onto the back of her chair and she feels immediately lost and alone, overwhelmed with fear. A voice rings in her head over and over, “where is everyone, why is everyone gone; why isn’t anyone here?” A barrage of rainy, sodden images fly through her mind, though nothing looks familiar, and the loneliness creeps in deeper and deeper for the next few days.  On the last leg of her journey home across country, she becomes filled with rage and begins to spontaneously & primally scream for no apparent reason.

-When she arrives home, she learns that three key people in her life had betrayed her on the very day of that first lonely vision. Upon walking into her office for the first time in three weeks, she feels unwelcome and pushed out, like someone else belongs there instead. Some days after, she learns that the same three people had misused her work space while she was away and many assumptions were made about ownership.

Both of these experiences involve clairaudience, empathy and clairvoyance.

We are all gifted with visions, feelings, hunches, instincts and the like. Intuition is our   inheritance and an ally!

Use it, speak to it, trust it, embrace it without reservation. Sometimes the signs are very soft and quiet; sometimes they are loud and obnoxious. At times they are seriously tenacious and just won’t go away; we lose sleep because we fail to address the first signs. Reframe what you previously thought of as mental chatter; notice if you feel emotional or have physical sensations at odd times. Do strange thought patterns arise…things you wouldn’t normally think about?

Listen and honor these moments; you will soon become a fluent “intuitive” speaker with increasing awareness and graced with a new interpretation of events around you!
