'Feeling' My Way Forward

This week has been exceptionally busy….however I am getting better and better at being organized so usually things go very well. I guess for me it’s all about adjustment – this part of the spiritual path is quite different from any other and it has taken me a few weeks (months?) to figure out why.

These days my life is coming back together (well, it’s about time!) both in expected and unexpected ways. Of course, over the years I have been very busy dreaming, planning and hoping for this time, but now that it is here……

Well, it’s a little bit disconcerting.

Or strange.

And I am feeling as if I am still waiting for things to cave in or the bottom to fall out…..or perhaps something even more then that.

Even though I am anticipating something great, that my life is coming back, growing, shifting, changing and taking shape and I am in awe of what is taking place. If anything I am still learning how to walk this new path – on this part of the journey I must deal with all I have carried in my heart……

For so very long I have not really lived or felt anything too deeply (the uncertainty and insecurity covered everything)…..not that I was shut down or anything. My heart was guiding me and leading me, however some of those inner doors to the profound were tightly closed.

Now, in this new place I have to re-learned (energy re-pattern) how to let those doors open. Let my guard down and relax into this new pace of life changing events I have set for myself.

My heart was strong enough to guide me this far…..and I know it is strong enough to take me the rest of the way. Now, where did I put that inner map!

Life & Consciousness In A Glass of Water......

Today I have been feeling out of sorts….well, perhaps having just spent 3 days back to back doing markets might be one reason. So I am tired after having been on my feet and running around.

But that’s still not enough of a reason to feel out of sorts…..

So I was just sitting here, Closing Energy Leaks(c) and pondering my energy field in order to get to the bottom of why I was feeling like this and what I should do about it…and the first thing my body mentioned was water.

Of course, my mind immediately went to the fact that when I am busy in the markets and doing all that I do each day – I tend to not drink enough water. Usually on my ‘recovery’ (doing markets is full on!! LOL) days I get a chance to catch up on everything including my sleep.

But, the most important healing remedy that enables me to get back to myself faster is that glass of water. A few of them, so far today has done more for me then any thing else I might have been able to come up with.

As far as being and staying grounded, you can’t do that in a dehydrated body. As a matter of fact you also can’t do much of anything – the state of dehydration is fairly far reaching – in fact we are thirsty much of the time, even when we appear to drink plenty.

Of course, what I am referring to here is the state of the water we are taking into our bodies. If it is full of chlorine, fluoride and perhaps a hundred other chemical compounds, we are slowly being poisoned and not replenishing our need for 'life' giving water.

It is not only our bodies that are crying out for water, but our souls as well – water is the conduit for higher consciousness to travel from cell to cell being carried deep within our tissues bringing light and life.

Dead chemical treated water will not bring much of anything worthwhile and will certainly not carry a consciousness I would choose to have as part of my cellular matrix. Only living water (untreated from a ground source) carries the higher frequencies (like sparks of electricity) we crave on this spiritual path.

And only pure consciousness can bring the light that fills a dark space……

Our Skin - the Source of the Energy Field

Over these past few weeks I have been busy re-examining my own mind/body/life in terms of my energy field. How this has come about is through this second part of my detox (part 2 or part 27 I can no longer tell!) where this time, I am taking the time to detox my skin.

I have actually started writing and talking about this a dozen times over the last few months only to not be able to put the right words down. So I just decided finally to ramble on about what I am feeling (that’s kind of what I do best anyway).

So….anyhow, here I am deep in the middle of a skin detox and what can I say? It is perhaps the most insightful and deepest cleanse to date. Yes, I know….the Mother (monster?) of all of them was the parasite cleanse (30 days on water, ask me about it sometime….please!).

Well, this is different altogether, I am eating, doing some fasting, working away at the various things I do and am seeing progress but in a totally new and completely different direction.

I have done the detoxes nearly as long as I have been walking this path….years and years of cleansing but the one area I had not really ever thought about to such an extent was my skin!

And it’s not that I didn’t pay attention to my skin. Years ago I stopped wearing make-up and haven’t even put so much as a moisturizer on my hands choosing instead to make my own comfrey creams etc. and use only the most natural things I can make myself.

I think I just thought my skin was being detoxed along with the rest of me (and it probably was to some extent) but clearly it wasn’t enough because I still felt toxic even after fasting for so long and clearing out my cells to the bone.

And I say this loosely….because I not only felt the toxins around me, I could ‘see’ them in my energy field along with the blocks they create. They were clearly there and quite active in my life, leaving me with no doubt they had to go.

Once I figured out I needed to also embark on a skin detox after my fasting/cleansing/clearing, it took me a few weeks to get some sort of a programme going – because this was something quite new for me.

Now you know what I have been up to over this past summer….working away at breaking down these energy blocks, removing unhealthy energy patterns and generally trying to change my life for the better – this time, through the skin and energy field that it creates.

Onwards and upwards!! (smile)

The Rebel - growing up!! 

Change Is In the Air....

It’s been a great summer and I don’t want it to end….perhaps because I am still trying to get caught up with the weeding LOL. So, now is the time to be finishing up those loose ends and mucking out the summer stuff…

The one word that stands out to me here is END. In lots of ways when September arrives – this signals change – some kids go back to homeschool and lessons and the seasons shift into shorter days.

These day lengths are very important to those of us walking the spiritual path for many reasons the least of which is our top up of vitamin D that keeps up healthy throughout these coming cooler (and darker) months.

So….why might I be mentioning vitamin D, light and changing seasons to those who are seeking spiritual endeavours, you might be wondering…well, travelling these roads and staying healthy has long been associated with immune system function.

There are perils and pitfalls nearly everywhere, but none as dangerous and significant as those of a spiritual nature. I have often heard it said how there is no disease but only ‘dysfunction of the spirit’ and I tend to agree.

Our physical body, spiritual essence, energetic and emotional selves are not kept separate from one another. These are integral pieces of a whole being – where if one aspect is pulled down, the entire organism suffers as a result.

One of the things I am planning to do during these last few warmish days of late summer is to exercise, get outside as much as possible, drink my herbal remedies on my fast days and to continue to enjoy the summer harvest that is emerging from the weeds…..

I am also shifting my thinking into ways and means to continue to boost my immune system over the coming darker months….perhaps I will make up a new remedy (smile).
