Accepting the Gifts

Nothing happens by chance ... ....I picked up a book on Controversies on Science today and I thought to myself, "I wonder if there's anything in here about Alfred Russell Wallace?" (co-discoverer of theory of evolution) as he was quite a controversial character and became very interested in metaphysics and spiritualism. He thought that evolution was a much more guided process than the Neo-Darwinists believe. And, Lo and behold, I randomly opened the book to the page on Wallace! I literally did Laugh Out Loud! Again, wonderful.....

I love it when those kinds of coincidences/synchronicities happen and really enjoy them... such things will begin to happen more and more as our intuition develops and we trust in the flow of the Universe! :-) 

And, I'm not saying that I'm an expert by any means...sometimes I go for days without anything like that happening, but it's nice to accept those gifts when they appear....



 

The Shock of the New

How are you finding things at the moment? Are you feeling the intense energies around? It's like everything is being cranked up - really challenging me to go with the flow, but to stay centred.... it's bound to take time over the next while into 2012 and beyond to integrate it all.  

I'm finding there are more and more synchronicities and opportunities presenting themselves without any effort on my part - people turning up in the right places at the right time. 

Along with the usual flickering violet flame that pulses and swirls and moves at my third eye, I also seem to be permanently bathed in a white light from above (like moon light) whenever I close my eyes and in the dark I can see it. It's really lovely - I can feel crown and third eye chakras opening - popping and creaking like a sailing ship in a storm. Quite regularly I smile as I seem to know exactly what people are going to say next. 

Tender spots now all down my right side....I guess there's a lot of processing going on...

I'm often finding myself in a semi-dream state even when I'm awake. There's kind of a feeling of being in suspended animation, like time itself is somehow completely different...have you noticed it? I find I lose time and I gain time. It's really surreal.... one day I had a distinct feeling that I was on a new timeline or path......it was disconcerting, but somehow reassuring at the same time...hard to put into words. My heart is so wide open it hurts! 

We're blessed to be here at this time to be a part of all this! :)

 

 

Letting Go and Non-Resistance: Lessons from Water and Trees!

I have been focusing a lot on not fighting things, but going with the flow and allowing the universe to do its work. I can now see the reality that our inner thoughts/focus of our intent/heart-based consciousness creates the reality around us...it is an amazing thing to see the way this happens...I had a few instances where in the past I would have got stressed, but this time stayed calm. For example, I needed to prepare something ahead for my summer student who had a microscope booking later in the afternoon, but I got busy with something else and couldn't do it then, but I didn't panic and, lo-and-behold, a spot appeared available later on because someone had cancelled, so we had more time to do what we had to do...other instances too....also had to carry out some very difficult timetabling with a colleague for a new course I'm running next year and, again, didn't panic, and the seemingly impossible conflicts in the schedule were resolved one by one as things simply fell into place and the timetable now works!


... I had been reading some stuff on 'right breathing' as well - breathing right down into the solar plexus chakra. Most people breathe in a very shallow way, at best stopping at the diaphragm - I had been focusing on deeper breathing and found that I had much more energy - bringing the prana/chi (Universal energy) into my body. I took some stroke-improvement swimming lessons this week. The synchronicity was with the swimming lessons, which were great and there was obviously quite a lot of focus on correct breathing and not fighting the water...this was perfect for the way things were developing for me on the inside in terms of my conscious focus on right breathing and letting go.


And a related event... I came to work today to find that a big old sycamore tree outside our building (I could see it from my office) was diseased and a branch had broken off in the wind. I felt quite sad about this - a lovely tree - they sawed it up and took it away, but they will plant a new one. I told a friend...she said:

"I guess the more conscious we are, the more we see. “Letting go/be non-resisting” in different contexts appears to be an important thing in life. Maybe the tree symbolizes this in a nice way…. don’t be afraid of letting go, don’t resist changes, welcome life and future experiences" ...beautiful and....

...  I was reminded again of Ecclesiastes Chapter 3 verse 1:

"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:"

....and I guess, for a tree, a time to be planted and a time to die!
