FREEDOM! – Page 21

The famous philosopher Socrates said “Beware the barreness of a busy life”. I think that’s a very interesting quote! Have you noticed these days how busy we all are? Much of our attention is focused on the outside, what needs to be done today, tomorrow…or right NOW.

Our brains are moving in a thousand different directions. How do we mangage our jobs (or lack thereof), families and responsibilities? How can we create and manifest more money? Find the love of our lives? Be FREE? Why is this or that happening in our lives?

As the holiday’s are quickly approaching we find ourselves with even more “busy-ness” and yes, stress! Wouldn’t it be great if we could all experience a peaceful, Norman Rockwell painting type of holiday? Or how about just have a moment when the world wasn’t buzzing in our heads so loud it’s almost deafening? I call that ‘loud head’ btw…not exactly a psychic term but I think it describes it pretty well! 🙂

It seems to me that the “barreness” Socrates is talking about is in many ways our own spirit. The joy of being safe in the body, at peace and in alignment with the earth, the universe and our very own selves. Occupying the space of our INNER SANCTUARY!

There is much talk about centering, alignment, creating (manifesting), being in the body etc. There are different beliefs & modalities as to how to get there, how to BE and how to manage it all in this world of “busy-ness”. It can also feel very unsafe to be in the midst of it. The reality is that it is a challenge at best with our busy lives to merely sit down, let alone quiet the mind and be still. After all there’s so much we need to DO! So what’s the bottom line? Well, read on dear ones!

All of this has to do with YOU taking CARE of YOURSELF! Actually taking the time to heal yourself, rejuvinate and bring back YOUR energy so you have access to it! 🙂 This of course means ALL OF YOU! MIND, BODY, SPIRIT AND SOUL!

Not only CAN you do this but WHEN you do this, you will find you have more energy, less effort and things will begin to manifest themselves. Here are some interesting questions for you to ponder…. Do you care for yourself, answer to your own needs, nurture yourself and take as much time for YOU as you do for others? Do you take the time to quiet your mind, make your body safe, focus on your essence and what makes YOU happy? Do you feed your spirit & soul just as you feed your body?

For me, the answer lies in finding my INNER SANCTUARY. It’s really amazing how your “reality” will shift when you take time out of your day to access your inner sanctuary. It is a place of peace, a time to step out of the “busy-ness” of daily life. A place of safety where you can begin to clear whatever you have taken on from others. It is a place to re-discover all that is YOU and get in alignment with the flow of your desires & dreams.

Getting grounded and making the body safe is the first step. When you are grounded, releasing all you have taken on and focusing on the flow of energy you can effortlessly move into your INNER SANCTUARY. Your own personal place of peace & calm. There is a true joy in feeling YOUR energy flowing in YOUR body! This is how you care for your spirit! It’s how you heal, rejuvinate and access the unique essence that is your true self.

As I mentioned in the beginning, the holiday’s are quickly approaching (in the States Thanksgiving is merely 2 weeks away) and it will be even more important to find time to care for ourselves. We will be inundated with added obligations from family & friends. It can be an overwhelming and stressful time for many. When you have the tools* and take time to care for your spirit, you will experience more joy and the true spirit of the holidays!~Shine Your Light~Debbie

Remember when you were little and you got to play in the sand? Whether it was the beach or your sandbox all you needed was a small shovel, bucket, maybe some water and your imagination! Your socks and shoes were thrown off so your little toes could just squish into that fun sand. You could create whatever you wanted and there was a feeling of pure joy with the experience. It didn’t matter who was watching, or if your castle had a moat. It was really FUN if you could get someone to bury in it! You would create something then destroy it because you had the certainty that the next thing you created would be even better! There was magic in that sandbox! You were in a world of your own imagination building your dream! It could be simple or intricate but nonetheless it was YOURS….AND there were NO LIMITS!

For me there were giggles, wiggling toes and sunshine! The sandbox was a HAPPY place where I could create something, destroy it, then create something new. It didn’t have to be perfect, I was not limited to one thing our another. In my sandbox everything was FUN and POSSIBLE! To this day I love going to the beach. I find it very healing to walk in the sand barefoot and just listen to the water gently lapping against the shore. There is an awareness about me. It’s about feeling the sensations, being in the body and having my space. It still delights me to create in the sand! My mind goes a mile a minute with the infinite possibilities!

What would you say if I told you that LIFE, specifically YOUR LIFE, was really like that sandbox? A place to have FUN, grow, create and re-create at will and there were no LIMITS to what you could do and accomplish! What if every grain of sand represented a moment in time and when all put together makes you who you are…..A creative, spiritual being having a human experience. Each grain of sand IS a moment and you can use those grains to grow, change and create yet another masterpiece. Gets you to thinking doesn’t it? 🙂

It’s amazing to me how many people I read that have been invalidated and had limits placed on wanting to play in their sandbox. How’s YOUR sandbox these days? Is it a fun place? Are you limited in the what, where or how you create? Is there something you’d like to do but there’s a little voice in your head that says “hahaha you can’t do THAT”! Is there something in the back of your mind you’ve really wanted to do but keep it in the back of your mind? If so, you may have had a limit placed on you! Perhaps at 3 when you said you wanted to be an astronaut, policeman, fireman etc. you were patting on the head and told “that’s nice” sweetheart. Mom & Dad thought it was cute and then went on to imagine what THEY wanted for you. A more realistic life. My personal favorite is about having it ALL! Of course you can’t have it ALL! Maybe you can have a little piece every now and then but for sure you can’t have it all at the same time! Well…..WHY NOT?

One of the challenges I have in writing a blog is how many different directions I can go with it. I open a plethora of pictures and try to stay focused! 🙂 For the purpose of THIS blog I want to address the limits that are either placed on us or that we place on ourselves. In many ways, the current economy has forced some of us to re-evaluate what it is that we are doing, expand our creativity and even takes steps to follow that “dream” in the back of our minds. What I see in present time are people searching for HOW to blow out the limits and go in a different direction! Although perhaps forced to do it by circumstance it seems to me that just about EVERYONE is now taking some sort of step to find their answers, clear the limits and begin anew to create the BEST sandcastle ever! What great news!

So, each moment is a grain of sand. It’s what you do with each moment that builds your creation! Every experience, good or bad, allows you to grow & learn. Is your focus and intent centered on your imagination and what lies within or is it on outside circumstances (limits) that you can’t do anything about? Are you building your sandcastle? Are you playing and having FUN in your sandbox? Why not take a moment right now to imagine what it would be like to ~PLAY IN YOUR SANDBOX OF LIFE~ How would it feel to build the most glorious castle ever?!

Now is the time to let go of the limits! Begin to dream of your glorious sand castles! What would your life look like? Feel like? See the details, smile inside as you imagine those grains of sand coming together. No dream is too big! Feel the sand under your feet in your sandbox! Wiggle your toes and bask in the sunshine of your dream! Sprinkle your sand castle with a bit of gold fairy dust, show it to the universe and then allow it to float off so that it can come back to you with ease! There’s no effort in this! Each moment in time is a grain of sand that makes you who you are! Singularly separate, yet all “packed” together is YOUR beautiful creation!

Light, Love & Abundance to all~Debbie
