The beats grow. My skin pimples at the waves of vibrations sweeping over my being. Vibrations flow through and over me, im bathing in extasy, the music grabs me and takes me to another space. All i need is here in this space, in the moment, each beat syncs with my heart... Im flying on the wings of inspiration. I wish for a second I was the music, wish i was there dancing in the sound. Hands outstretched, I grasp the air, flex my fingers and move. How can it be that in those few minutes of fleeting moments I am free...

Life unfolds before us
Sitting scrunched up, shoulders aching, hands dry and tight, head rested on knee to stretch my aching muscles, ailments of a hard days graft in the outdoors, I type away reflecting on the events of the weeks past. Who could of predicted, who would have known that the subtle change from girl into woman can happen so subtly. Felt in myself, observed in others, the solidifying of the core, the swelling of the heart, blossoming understanding and a robustness toward the unknown. Suddenly the space before is a fertile ground for adventure, a stark contrast to the redundant view of the known being a place of which to be wary. There is a sense of thrill as the shift in view is one of ease, positivity like none ever known before. Amazement floods this space as one is in wonder at lessons once learnt come again to relearn and be resolved with no fear that this may be the never ending way of things as the rewards spring forth like the sweetest of blossoms.
Out of hardship comes faith, reconnection with both the hear and now and the heavens above as the bleakest of moments leads to unity and renewed sense of it all. Thankfulness for my insignificance overwhelms and muffles, softens the edges of the pitch night as duvet lends itself to second skin as its warmth enfolds me with soporific effect. The soft breathe of my beloved dog fills the still of my room and I sigh grateful she is with me. I close to sleep and hope for tomorrow to be as rich as today.

Autumn: An analogy for letting go
For man, autumn is a time of harvest, of gathering together.
For nature, it is a time of sowing, of scattering abroad.
-- Edwin Way Teale
I lay in my bed, wrapped in the softest of blankets, hands sore, bruised, back aching and stiff. I sip on a cup of tea, red berries and honey. I sink deeper into my pillows and give blessings to the warmth my bed holds and the comfort of the simplest luxury a dry roofed dwelling and a well fed stomach filled with baked apple and custard made by the loving hands of my mother, a gift for my days work. My body had switched off, gone into hibernate and was laying back lapping up the well deserved pampering. I didn't mind, in fact it reminded me I was alive and strong and I was grateful for that. My mind fills with warm, recollections of the day one flooded with laughter and happiness. The harvest was here, trees full of fruit ready for the picking. Much preparation had taken place, the collecting of boxes and newspapers, the clearing of suitable strange spaces not to mention the increasing collection of gardening equipment, ladders, buckets and the like. We were set, ready for action. The wind was kind to us that day, it quietened itself for a while giving the aging oaks a deserved rest bite from the dance of the days prior. For an autumn day it was indeed still, nature has allowed us the freedom of climbing the trees without the fear of the wind sweeping us off...

It never ceases to amaze how the days fall into one, the mind follows a pattern unique to each of us. Wake sleep, eat, work in no particular order. Emotions break the monotony, add flesh to the skeleton that is the routine of life. references to groundhog day, an ever circling cycle of predictable events accented by weekends and holidays, special lunches with friends, or the odd rebellious hanging out on a school night. Life is what we make of it. Yes we can be hindered by how our minds are from one day to the next, yes we can feel as though we are at the mercy of random thoughts, surging feelings both good and bad and often it takes a strength second only to that of the Gods to get us through one day to the next sometimes. There is no doubt in my mind that thoughts create our experiences as we usually act on the thoughts that are persistent. Positive or not, to the psyche it does nto seem to matter.
We may not resolve the issue we are plagued by but we may share them with friends, torment ourselves with 'what ifs and maybe's', or push the issue through from no solid basis. Taking a step back from it can be difficult but essential if you are to get a hold of the thoughts and assess why they are there. Is it coming from your soul self, an other worldly form of guidance or is it your history, an aspect of your psyche speaking. All of which are important, none are to be discounted. If we are to take the tree as the skeleton of our lives adorned with leaves, the leaves being the thoughts, feelings and emotions that are collected over time, in the case of the tree it is a yearly cycle. The tree naturally know there is a time to produce and a time to hibernate or share its spoils. We too need to tap into our own cycles of growth and rejuvenating, hibernating and shedding. Imagine your redundant thoughts and feelings connected to situations or other people are attached to you like the leaves to a tree, imagine you are making the conscious decision to shed the leaves from the tree and free the energy they absorb from you. Imagine that you are in control of which leaves are going to be shed and in which order, all you need to do is visualise that very process.

You are more powerful than you know, your mind only controls you as much as you let it, the connections you feel are redundant are easily released and replaced by you. All you need is the method and the courage to do so. The key to it is listening to which 'voice' it is that is speaking to you, is it the voice of your soul or the programming you have received over your life time. The dialogue that is running alongside your soul voice is not necessarily bad if it is in alignment with what feeds your soul. You will know which voices belong to which figures that have influenced you throughout your life. Teachers, parents, friends of past and present. Siblings, grandparents, the media. Internet, work collegues, bosses, lovers and those who have given their word to you in passing. Written and spoken word. Some of this can be useful, some of it less so. By identifying the attachments we have to experiences and dialoges that are not in line with our souls selves we are able to dis attach them and benefit from the energy that is freed up. In doing this you are able to shed old habits and behaviours, adopt new ones that resonate with your soul self and feel lighter and happy. In letting go of the attachments that have outlived them selves you can free yourself of all the emotions that go along with them. Imagine a life free of all that emotion stored in the unconscious and in the subtle energy. Go on this day and make a move to rid yourself of all the unwated, worn out, tired attachments and connections through visualisation, meditaion or writing.

There is no spoon
Brain twists and turns in circles, zig zags and curves examining the problem, labelling it difficult, impossible, the task ahead is set and that is the breaking of the object of fixation. It grows in size, becomes more solid, a bulls eye appears on it to make sure it gains fullest attention. Then the mind takes over, it dances around the object keeping it in full view, not taking the eye off it for even a moment, playing up to its false identity, knowing that now a wall has been built it must come down. Then it happens, the stress increases, irritation ensues and before long the object of our attention takes a solid form in the centre of our thinking, until its owner successfully ignores it or rather buries until it rises up again wanting to be resolved.
This need not be the case, assess the object again, make friends with it and know that it night represent what is is we want to address but it is an ally, not our enemy. Now look around this object, what is its true nature, and what is our relationship to it. It comes into our realisation that whatever we are faced with is build upon our perception of it. If another was to be faced with the same object would it necessarily take the same form. So in as much as the object if open to infinite interpretations from infinite observers it is also unreal, it does not in a sense, exist. If the goal of seeing the object in the first place is so that we can manipulate it, then is it actually necessary to see it as a physical fixture before us in the first place. Surely it serves us better to have in mind the outcome in front of us, and a sense of peace, or accomplishment instead of fear or frustration. You can not fight something that is not there, and something that is not there can not stand in your way. So you see it is easier to bend yourself than the object you are confronted with.
What defines your reality? Is it the accumulative product of your senses working together to build an idea of the world around you? If this is the case then all we can be is a biological organism responding to sensory stimuli. We are indeed beings of the earth, here to experience the sights, sounds, tastes and textures, is that really as simple as all that? The clip shows a child speaking to Neo, advising him on reality. The child effortlessly manipulates a spoon in front of Neo's eyes and then returning it back to its original shape. Are we to take his message as a metaphor for living life consciously? In the clip the spoon can be taken as any object that we wish to fixate on, as an image that we wish to manipulate. This could be an exam grade we wish to achieve or a habit we wish to break. Or even a goal we would like to accomplish. If you set your mind on something you might as well be setting against it, go with the flow and visualise completion, you are master of your own reality, and own destiny.

Living in truth.
click for source
I often disappear into a world far away from the one in which I sit. My psychical body and mind switch onto standby, asleep enough to allow my flight to take place but alert so as to catch the moments that require prompt return.
I sit and write this knowing the climate of late has left many with a gentle dis-ease, a wobbling feeling, slight disconcertion, a sense that all is not quite right in the world. In my experience in working with others it has seemed to me that this feeling has been increasing ever so slightly; and in recent years just enough for me and others to want to gather all that we have learnt and channelled to help others to connect to the truth of all that is.
Some can do this and gain comfort when addressing questions regarding the bigger picture concerning the path of their soul in this moment. Gone are the days where individuals working on a mediumistic frequency were unable to connect to direct guidance for themselves, not guidance for personal gain but guidance to help them fast track their ego selves into line with their soul mission. The purpose of which is to mature them to the point where they can be facilitators of peace and growth in those that come for guidance from them.
There is a flip side to this as you may well of pre empted in that if you have earned the kind of responsibility then you must also adhere to a plethora of universal rules and laws, things that will be come second nature, things you don't even need to be taught, the more you learn to sit in our truth the more integrated this way of living becomes. To gain responsibility and therefore be entrusted with wisdom you must refine your living self here on earth. It starts with your interactions with others, how you conduct yourself, be consciously aware of your impact on another.
Universal laws are not that far removed from moralistic living, many religions have a kind of code of conduct set out for its parishioners to follow. The universe has filtered its message down to us through many means in many forms but essentially the message is there and its clear, a formula for living consciously with a strong sense of identity and connectivity to all there is. To be aware is all that there is to live a life that is fulfilling. The more we practice our truths the easier it is to see there rules and integrate them for the joy and well being of not only ourselves but those around us.

Try this exercise that when practiced can be a door way into sitting in your truth.
Sit in a comfortable position, comfortable chair or cushion, you may sit cross-legged on the floor if you so wish.
Either close your eyes or gently hold your gaze on a point on the floor just in front of you.
Gently take your focus to your in and outward breathe.
Imagine the inward breathe is the purification of the body and mind, allow it to be a cooling breathe, one that releases all the tensions of the day, feel you mind release thoughts and feelings, allow them to pass through you into the ether.
Allow your mind to identify tensions within the body, on every outwards breathe release the tensions from toes to tip of the head and fingers, with every inwards breath identify tension and with every outward breathe release it. Continue without regulating your breathing until you feel totally at ease, relaxed and ready to move onto finding your inner spiritual peace,
Allow your mind to bathe in the deep relaxation out have created, and picture before you a brilliant white light, allow this white light to evolve before you until you have created a platform from which to work,
As you focus on the light repeat, 'I am a being of light, I am at one with the universal truths, I speak my truth, I live my truth, I am at peace with all that is in my feeling world'
Sit with this affirmation for a while, allow its vibration to flow through you...
When you are ready, expand the light before you so that it fills the whole of your being,
Sit with this for a while, taking in all that it has to give you,
When you are ready, bring your attention back to the physical body and to the room in which you sit.
I wish you all a beautiful day filled with peace and joy.
