Meditation

I found this meditation and wanted to share it:


I was taken to a space within the earth. I was kept moving until I reached a space so deep within Mother Earth that there was no life at all. The walls of the inner cave were very dark and cold. I was completely alone. As I settled in, my thoughts dissipated until I became part of the stillness. It was cold and dark and still. There was no outer thought to distract me, there was only stillness.

Very gently, I became aware of a presence- one that permeated the entire space. It was the consciousness of Mother Earth. It was pure peace, a pure knowing. I reached out and touched the walls. I was amazed to feel the presence of pure potential. Deep within this space, the creations of mankind seemed temporary and trivial. There was more life within the unformed energy of the silence than in much of the busy-ness that occurred on the surface. Here was a great knowing and a great contentment.

As I was moved up from the cave into the light above, I saw life expressing. Trees, flowers, grass, sun- all manner of beauty was expressing around me. This, then, is how life should express. No competition, no comparing. Each form beautiful and radiant in its own right, and each form with a beginning, a harvest, and an ending. Each form being silently supported by the mother who lies quietly beneath.

How often has the current "harvest" of my life been the most important thing in my mind? How often have I measured my life with a set of standards that I seek to achieve, only to find myself falling short. I, too, blossom, harvest and end. Yet I move effortlessly to the next task because deep within there is a space where no outer life is being expressed. There is a space within me that has complete knowing,that houses such potential that I can't even imagine. There is a space within me that silently supports every dream that I seek to grow. There is a space within me where I am One with God.

Healing

This week, I finally went through the stack of work on my desk and found a note from Spirit. It was several weeks old, and it said, write in your blog about your healing.
I looked at the note, remembered when I wrote it, remembered that I had had a beautiful healing.....but I could not remember what had happened.

Isn't that the way of the human mind? We reach to God for intervention or assistance when in some crisis of spirit, and when the healing is received, it is often forgotten. And this makes total sense, we have moved from one level of consciousness to another. But I know the message in my healing would have been a wonderful gift to the world. And since I can't remember to share it in words, let me share it in energy.

"You can heal.
You can move into a fresh new space where you are God's beloved Child.
You can begin again."

May you feel the healing love of our Father Mother God in these words you read. And may you be healed. And so it is.

Sacred Places

The other day, my son David (25) and I were discussing the "historical" significance of certain places like Jerusalem, and other sacred sites that have been fought over for years. We wondered about man's attachment to these locations.

When David went home, a series of thoughts came to him from his higher self.
"What makes a site sacred? Is it the rocks, dirt or trees or events that have happened there? Or is it the fact that people have created, over years of visitation, an energy that represents a connection to God? If it is the second, can we not create sacred spaces out of every inch of our world?

Is it God reaching down at these places, or is it that people are reaching up, that makes these spaces so special?
We fight and long for far away sacred spaces and seem to neglect the sacred space we live on every day. "

I loved the Divine perspective. Maybe we should all reach up....
