Growing Large with Love

Filling the Well Creative Workshop

This weekend I attended a day long art journaling creative workshop for women led by Lisa Sonora Beam, author of the Creative Entrepeneur.  We made our own visual journals and filled them with paper ephemera, magazine pictures, stamp art, paint and glitter (mostly just me).  This is the beginning of a creative art journaling practice to heal my mind, body, and spirit and let my subconscious speak to me through images.  I highly recommend this workshop, called Filling the Well.

Weekly practice: intention + mindfulness + manifestation

I’m starting a weekly practice that answers 3 questions, and takes just a few minutes …

1) What is your intention for the week? Work on my coaching practice, follow a shaman’s path, be fearless, feel fire energy within. Dance my prayers!

2) What thought or action do you want to remain mindful of? I am beautiful, strong, and wise. I am enough just the way that I am. I can let go of judgement.

3) What do you want to manifest this week? Physical health and increased vitality, energy!

Breathing in the Light

Posted on September 12, 2010 in Ask Divine Mother

Breathing in light is something that can be done all the time with your natural breathing. Have the intention that as you breathe naturally, you are going to be breathing in light. Particularly when you are walking in nature or outside taking a walk, that kind of thing, plan to breathe in light.

Even once into every chakra would be great. You can’t do too much.  Breathing in light into the chakras would be a very powerful practice. Those who have a problem with depression, I strongly encourage it. Use this for any problem with fatigue. Breathing, bringing the prana into the system is the antidote to fatigue. Image the light coming into your system, millions of white particles.

For those who are not going to make a routine of this, please do it when you are walking in nature, or several times a day — image breathing light into the body. Anytime you are depressed, please do it maybe 10 or 15 times.

Never forget …

It is all worth it. Every day, even a sad day blurred by headaches and filled with business meetings, is magical and infinite. This dance, this particular proton dance, will never come again. This tune we’re too busy to hear will not be played again. Never forget to be thankful for your life.

Heart Quote

For it is in the dew of little things that the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.

— Kahlil Gibran

The Sound of Waves

Give up subtle thinking,
the twofold, threefold
multiplication of mistakes.

Listen to the sound of waves
within you.

— Excerpted from Rumi, Mathnavi IV: 3226-3241 Version by Coleman Barks “Say I Am You”

My King

I was dead and now I am alive.
I was in tears and now I am laughing.
The power of love swept over my soul
and now I am that eternal power.

My eyes are content.
My soul is fulfilled.
My heart is roaring.
My face glows like Venus.

You are the majestic fountain of the Sun
that pours upon my head.
I am the shadow of a willow tree
bent over and melting.

The knowledge of you has lifted me up,
Now I am a star shining above the seventh heaven.
I was a glitter in the night sky,
Now I am the Moon and the two hundred folds of heaven.
I was Joseph at the bottom of a well,
Now I am Joseph the King!

O famous Moon, shine on me.
A ray of your light
would turn my world into a rosegarden.

Now I will move in silence,
Like a chess piece,
Watching as my whole life
revolves around
the position of my King.
