Physical Integration = PLOP of body & home

Physical Integration = PLOP of body & home For those of you experiencing physical symptoms in the body or home, know there is hope. Often body and home mirror each other. It seems we begin in the body and then transition through all mind, emotion, and spirit and then plop back into the body to get it all integrated. Physical symptoms are where I am seeing a lot of people struggle right now. It is almost as if we are trying to fit all of that energy and experience into such a small container. It can happen quite naturally but takes some self-acceptance and trusting. Support: Are you aware of a moment when you 'chose' to leave the physical density for higher experience? If you are, go back to that decision and re-live it in your mind. Look at it from all angles and see its deeper truth. It is a connecting point for re-entry. Mine was in 2002 when I let go of nearly every physical possession I owned. Letting go became my way of life. Spiritual seeking became my path and it was richly rewarded. But that, too, came to completion and integration became key. Returning to knowing of wholeness is current way. We are whole. That is balance. Remembering those moments of choosing to raise our vibration; to upgrade our life are helpful in the re-entry of integration. My letting go had really started in 1995 when I had my first awakening but my conscious walking lighter in 2002 was a result of a series of events including taking off my watch, leaving Corporate America, moving out of my home and empty nest when my daughters moved out. It was a letting go of my external foundation so a stronger and more internal foundation could be built. In hindsight, I realize that I was letting go of too much without balancing the energies with letting in. It all got “corrected” in its own time but whew! Take some time to be with your changes . . . to be with any "symptoms" in body and home. See the correlations. Let go. Let in. Trust.

Holding Hands

We gather today in the large lodge with a fire burning bright. To your level of comfort, take the hand of the one next to you in our circle with the intention of being supported and supporting each other. Welcome. I'm glad you are here.

Can you feel the presence of all of us and how strong we are in our togetherness? Much is shifting under our feet these days and we are gaining incredible strength within the core of each of us. All of us can benefit from the presence of others and I hope you can settle into knowing that you are seen, heard, and valued here. That is one of the many blessings that I celebrate with this sweet community! Below you will see two chances for us to come together in person to form our circle of support. Virtual is good and in person is really, really lovely.

I invite you to walk with me through a story of my night and be present with the symbolism of what I'm saying. It is 3 am and I'm doing yoga on my living room floor. Child's pose is the one that called me from my sleep. I rise from position and see a band of light spilled across the floor. I look up to its source and the moon beckons me to the window. The sky is dark and ominous with its thick clouds but her light penetrates the night. Back and forth she goes into and out of the clouds teasing me with her light for writing. My blanket and pillow transform my big comfy chair into a place for sleeping so that I can see her and she can see me. Her watchful eye brings dreams of spring and gratitude for all that is right here and right now.

Sometimes I resist the still and quiet voice that guides me. I want something different than what it seems to be offering. When it calls in the middle of the night, I'm quick to want sleep instead of action. I'm learning that when I follow this wisdom no matter the time, place, or situation, that what comes out on the other side is lighter, freer, and just right.

Questions to Consider:
Can you hear your inner rhythm calling you?
Are you following this inner voice?
Are you becoming like a child and surrendering into the innocence of the knee to the chest position?
Are you feeling the presence of support?
Do you know deep down inside that everything is okay just as it is?
Are you loving and trusting yourself, others, and life?
Do you want to?

The greatest gift that I can offer you is support in loving and trusting yourself, others, and life. That makes all the difference in thriving through the ebbs and flows of life.
