~~~LIVING AND CREATING JOYFULLY~~~

 

 

CREATING SANCTUARY

 

To be safe - to trust that there is someplace where we can be in our own

love - is to create that haven away from a world of lower dimensional

insanity. Only we can take the time and make the effort to create that

haven in our beings, our homes, and our lives from which we can operate

with love and flow in the outer world.

 

Sanctuary - a place of sacred belonging and being - is often relegated to a

place of worship. We have often used the word to refer to wildlife

refuges, communal religious areas, even to special places in our gardens.

But most of us have not considered what this truly means to our mental,

emotional, physical - and spiritual - well-being.

 

Our inner children need respite from the onslaughts of a mad world. They

are reeling, in this moment, from the uprising of collective fear which

also remains within ourselves So many of us are feeling the anxieties,

depression and internal upheaval that this time of The Awakening is

bringing into the planet. It is not going to become easier until the full

planetary shift into the fourth dimension.

 

In this final phase of The Awakening, every particle of this planet, every

atom of our beings is going to be shaken until they resonate and become

harmonic with fourth dimensional vibrations. The strange behaviors,

violence, seeming global depression and anxiety are going to escalate as

those who do not know how to take responsibility for their thoughts and

actions - creations - fall into increasing states of despair.

 

Sanctuary can become that place within our own homes in which only love is

invited in - in which we can work through our unhealed states crying out

for love - and into which we invite only those who are in an equal or

higher vibration of love. This is a locale in which there are no phones,

no TV and no interference from anything or anyone we do not invite to sit

with us.

 

MEDITATION: The Cocoon of Safety

(This meditation should be done first thing in the morning. It can also be

done several times during the day, especially when facing people or

situations that make you feel uneasy.)

 

Move into a light meditative state

 

Focus on the heart. As you focus here, see the rose light of your heart

begin to glow.

 

Focus upon allowing the rose light to expand and grow until it fills your

whole body.

 

Continue to focus on your heart's rose light and allow it to expand into

your aura until your aura is filled with rose light.

 

Now take your attention to your third eye. As you focus here, become aware

of the very beautiful, luminescent indigo light that begins to radiate.

 

Fill your body with indigo light. Fill your aura with indigo light, this

time allowing the indigo light to expand beyond the heart's rose light,

creating an oval band of indigo light beyond the band of rose light.

 

Now focus on your crown center. Become aware of its very beautiful,

iridescent white violent light. Look deeply and recognize the shimmering

essence of the white light here. Allow it to fill your body, your aura and

move into a band of white light beyond the rose light and the indigo light.

 

A SILENT EXPRESSION OF JOY

 

We have talked about being in our joy in an outer world of nature, music,

and group synergy. Now we need to look at the essence of joy as a function

of natural, daily, flowing open-heartedness. Moving into our joy, coming

from a world that disallows true joy and the satisfaction with our lives

and ourselves that is happiness, takes daily practice.

 

For the heart to be open and flowing requires a very specific focus of

attention upon it, and very disciplined minds that disallow inappropriately

mundane and fear-based thoughts. This practice can be in the form of

meditation or simple relaxation, which in itself is a form of meditation.

 

 

MEDITATION: Moving into a State of Grace that is Joy

 

Go into a state of deep meditation.

 

Call all those individuals to you who are or have been your master teachers

in this (and other, if you are aware of them) lifetimes. Send deep

gratitude to these beings for their agreement to act out their parts in the

unfolding drama so that you could experience what you came here to know and

so that you could learn your life lessons.

 

Now send gratitude to yourself for all that you are and all you have and

will yet accomplish. Thank yourself for your courage and strength to walk

consciously in a world of fear. Thank your inner children for cooperating

in the process of self-discovery. Thank your Soul and your Spirit for

their presence in your life. Thank yourself for opening up to your

conscious knowledge and presence of them.

 

Send gratitude to your higher spiritual guides who are your brothers and

sisters for their love and their help in this journey. Send gratitude to

God for all that you are, all of your relationships and all that you own.

 

Call your master teachers to you once more Send them deep compassion for

the fear and pain of their inner children and unhealed states upon which

they have yet to work in this lifetime. Bless them and see them healing

into states of joy and peace.

 

Bless yourself and see yourself continuing to walk impeccably upon your own

Path of Love/Joy/Heart/Soul/Spirit with increasing awareness and growing

love.

 

Go deep into your own being and recognize the Godness within. Sit in this

knowledge, accepting yourself as the Master of your own personal universe

and creator of all that is your own reality.

 

Magnetize to you now those people who will help you in your path, those

people who will help you in your work, those people who you can help, and

all the most lavish, unlimited abundance that the universe is attempting to

give you in every moment. Accept the love. Accept the abundance. Feel it

in your being and in your body. Feel it in your heart. Feel your joy.

 

MOVEMENT AS MEDITATION

 

Tbe body, when stretched and toned, uplifts the spirits, allows the energy

of the earth to flow into a state of well-being within and opens a pathway

to the joyful heart. Exercise need not be strenuous or pushing a limit of

physical capability. Many regimes currently in use do not combine mental,

emotional, spiritual and energy components. Severe anaerobic and aerobic

physical workouts so often are detrimental and even downright dangerous to

bones, muscles and connective tissues.

 

Humanity has been exercising the body for thousands of years. We find some

of the best kinds of beneficial workouts in the East: hatha and kundalini

yoga, chi kung, tai chi and now tantric toning and various combinations and

interchanges between these disciplines that enhance us overall.

 

Classes are available everywhere, but video tapes and books provide us with

personal instruction that afford both privacy and allow us to work within

our own time frames., in our own sanctuaries.

 

Recommended exercises: (please see Barbara Brennan's books for working

with the meridians, simplified kundalini yoga and Hara exercises that

center the mind and body, energize the being and bring well-being fully

within.)

 

Grounding: the connection with the earth provides an emotional "safety

net" within some primordial part of our beings. Most of us have lost touch

with the earth and need to reestablish this connection so that our joy can,

at last, flow freely and openly. We are a part of the pulse of this

planet, and only our feet can help us make that connection between earth,

heart and Spirit.

 

Here are two simple exercises for grounding:

(Barbara Brennan's books, HANDS OF LIGHT and LIGHT EMERGING give

illustrated exercises for opening the meridians, beginner's kundalini yoga

and Hara exercises for working with Soul level energies. They are not

difficult and will thoroughly open, center, balance and energize if done on

a regular basis.)

 

Open Horse Pose: standing upright, keep back straight, and head aligned

with spine. Spread feet about 3 feet apart, toes pointing slightly inward.

Relax the pelvis, roll back and relax the shoulders and let the arms and

hands drop with hands open, pointing to the ground. Breathe deeply into

the abdomen, upper abdomen, lower chest, upper chest and reverse for the

exhale. Let the breath break up any stagnant patterns and calm any

emotions that might be swirling around……….and let them drop to the earth,

dripping out of your body and rolling down your buttocks and legs and deep

into the earth. Feel yourself become very relaxed and centered, rooted

deeply to the center of the earth. Hold this pose 2 - 3 minutes.

 

Wide Seated Pose: take some deep breaths. Spread feet three feet apart,

toes pointed outward, back straight, head aligned with spine. Bend the

knees (plie), bringing the buttocks down towards the ground as far as it is

comfortable for you to do. Feel your feet holding you securely to the

ground. Raise and lower yourself slightly, feeling the rocking of this up

and down motion, and feel how well the ground and your feet can hold you.

Feel the safety of this position as you breathe deeply and settle into the

balance of it for 2 - 3 minutes.
