Be Gentle with Yourself….

Taking the road less traveled and healing yourself is not always easy. As you awaken, you not only become aware of the pain and invalidation you are holding on to but in the process of clearing you must face it for a moment so you can release it.

No matter where you are on your spiritual path, how enlightened or self-aware you feel, your place as a teacher, lightworker or student, you are in a growth process. There is always more to uncover and discover. Of course this is a good thing because it means you’re alive. 🙂 It also means that while you are acknowledging and going through this kind of growth you need to be extra gentle with yourself!

Pain, hurt, invalidation and fear buries itself deep within your psyche. The energy resides in your physical body as well as your spiritual body. It is in the cells of your body, stored as excess body weight, hidden behind a smile or an energetic facade. 

While we all want to grow our self-awareness,  heal and release what we are holding on to there is a mechanism that kicks in when we hit those pain pictures and our attention automatically shifts until we are ready to clear them. Again this is not a bad thing because it allows each of us to clear at our own pace.

When you uncover any sort of pain pictures  and begin clearing them from the spiritual part of you it does take some time to clear in the physical. In spirit there is no time or space. Energy clears instantly. The physical body takes time to heal and in some cases the energy is in physical form as in getting sick or needing surgery.

The important thing to remember when embarking on a journey of spirit is to be gentle with your body.  It’s going through a lot! Give it nourishing and healthy foods, make time for soothing moments of quiet and truly pamper yourself.  Physical exercise helps the process along as well! It gets you connected to your body but keep in mind that getting enough sleep and rest is just as important.

This is also the time for meditating and turning your attention within more not less. It will help you get through your growth period faster and easier.  As a spiritual being you are strong and wise beyond words. You will never put yourself through something you can’t handle but sometimes asking for a little help goes a long way! Don’t be afraid to ask for help and by all means if energy has manifested in the physical see your Doctor!

The dewdrop in the photo posted is delicate yet strong enough to hold together the teeny water molecules that make it a dewdrop.  It allows itself to BE a dewdrop shimmering in the morning light. It trusts and accepts help from the flower petal to keep it safe until the process of being a dewdrop is complete.

You are indeed like the dewdrop. Be gentle with your body and give it what it needs. Trust and have faith in your strength of spirit and know that mind, body and spirit will guide you toward what you need to help you through the growth process. ~Shine Your Light Debbie

~ The Zen of Snow~

Today marked the first snowfall of 2010 in Chicago. From the time I was little I’ve always found a great deal of peace and joy in the snow. I couldn’t wait to get outside with my camera and go for a run in the park.

I love to  listen to the sound of my footsteps as they crunch through the snow.  The snow brings me happiness & joy in its simplicity. It brings back a playfulness that as I discovered seemed to affect those I met as well. Everyone and I mean EVERYONE I passed took a moment to smile, look me in the eye, say hello!

It became clear when I arrived in the park that my experience would go beyond going for a run and taking some photos to share with my friends around the globe.  There is a message in the snow….

There is an energy of delight as the little flakes fly through the air and blanket the ground in angelic purity. The snow cleanses the air we breathe and sounds are muted as it innocently falls to earth. There is a sense of calm and elegance as the once bare trees now dressed in a hint of white stand tall to show off, in a sense, and tell us they are still very much alive.

The snow creates a winter wonderland. A magical  place to walk, play and become a child again. It reminds us for a moment of the beauty in a storm, and brings alive the very landscape in twinkling glory.

The snow is playful as it dances through the air as if to say catch me if you can! And can we do! You can’t help but stick your tongue out to catch one of those little flakes. You might even be tempted to lie down and make a snow angel just for fun!

Simply being in a winter wonderland brings you into present time. You see your surroundings in a new light as they are at that very moment in time! Your troubles melt away and once your sense of play takes over…you might even make a little snow girl (like mine in the pic) or BIG snowman with a button nose and two eyes of coal!

The snow in its delicate simplicity blankets the land, comforts and brings a message of peace, calm and living in the present. It reminds us that living in the present and at peace; Happiness, joy and creativity flourish!

Find peace within to flourish! Make a snowman! Build a sandcastle! Hug a tree! Jump in a mud puddle! Grow your inner joy and be at peaceful oneness with YOU!~Shine Your Light Debbie
