What Goes Around...

This is another beginning. This is a beginning that has no end... or perhaps an end that has no beginning. This a perfect circle. A moment in time, caught in the present moment because truly, all beginnings hark to endings and all endings mark new beginnings.

So what I am wittering about? Well, it has been a while since I began this adventure. Years if you count the preceding waltzes I have had through life... and countless lifetimes if you wanna get highly metaphysical on me. But excuse me, I digress when I should focus. I am of course referring to this writing and blog.

Back in September 2010 I began with such passion and hope that I would be writing my way into the future and yet, after an initial burst of frenetic energy, the winter brought only drought to the sparse landscape of my newly created webpage blog. What have I been doing for the last 8 months? Brewing... that is what. And I am not referring to vats and barrels of yeasty hops and foaming beer. It is more like an inner brew born of a lifetime of reading and adventure. A heady mix of travelling and introspection. A roller-coaster ride of cleansing and healing mixed with Reiki courses and tarot, daily journals and relaxing. I have been processing my chi and cleaning my brain and as they say, I'm beginning to feel sane!

Since that very first post I have graduated as a Reiki Master, learned to read tarot, completed a book course called the Artists Way and another called Drawing on the Right Side of The Brain. I have attuned my first Reiki students, processed and cleaned up all the old redundant emotional baggage amassed over the last 30 years and basically given myself a good old spring clean.

Where does that leave me? Well... this is the exciting part. It plonks me firmly in the present moment, attentive, open, ready to create, inspired, motivated, on the threshold of a dream. I have learned a lot about myself in the last few years and about healing, well-being, abundance, creativity, health and spirituality. In fact, I have been on this journey since the day I was born but more about that later. The point is this...

I am ready to share my journey with you in the hope that it may inspire you. I want to share my thoughts and insights. My learnings and ideas. For all my life my head has been filled with creative pathways that I never quite had the confidence to walk down and I can feel the shift and change in me now. I have learnt to trust myself and moreover, to trust the Universe.

So this blog really is an offering of myself. My art, my writings, my music and my thoughts. It is offered humbley with love. I am a healer, a teacher, a musician, a poet, a writer... many things I am but above all I am a soul, incarnate as a human being just like you. I am awakening to the awareness of that fact as we speak and offer my help and inspiration if I can, if you so wish, if you so choose. We are eternal, beautiful, powerful, creative beings that are meant to live a life of joy. And I tell you this now... Anything is possible!

The Love Revolution

At some point we have to let go of healing and embrace well-being. Healing always supposes that we are not fully whole and are in a process of journeying to a point in the future where health resides. But here is the contradiction. The only point that exists is the ever present now moment. So, when we sit in our present moment focusing on healing, we are actually focusing at one level on not being whole. Don't let this worry you. We have plenty of time.

Thought is creative, always, every second, every minute, every moment you ever have. You are creating with your thoughts, words and actions. Begin then to embrace well-being this very moment. Tell yourself now that you are whole, and well, and perfect. The potential for perfect health and well-being exists right now in your body... Shut your eyes.

Take a deep breath and let it out slowly. Focus on all the love in your heart that you have for people, for the world, for your pastimes, ideas and interests. Feel that love. Let it rise up. Let it flow through every cell in your body. Take another breath and breathe in fresh air and oxygen. Here is life force, prana, chi, ki. We cannot go much longer than two minutes without air. It is a gift for you. It sustains you. There is love in it... for you in every single atom of air, in every single breath. Feel the love as you breathe in. Share it with others as you breathe out. There is so much love in your body, in your mind. Do not be afraid to let it out. Feel it. Because, this is where your well-being lives.

Take a breath. Within your heart, within your mind, within your soul is a doorway to well-being and joy and happiness. Through this door you will find a great deal more amazingness than you could have ever imagined. The door is labelled LOVE. It is your love. Not an idea you or religion or society or anyone else has about what love should be but the individual love each of you feel for different things. Let that love bubble up. Each person's door is different. Each person has love for different people, different ideas, different words, different music, different foods. Breathe. Let what you love bubble up into your mind. Feel your own personal love for the wonderful things in your Universe. Send that love to your body, to your mind, to your friends. Breathe the love in and share it with others as you breathe out. Let it flood you and sooth you. Relax.

Your body has the potential for well-being and perfect health right now. So, if you dare, take a moment and breathe. Let go of everything else. All thoughts, all words and all actions. Just stop. And breathe. Walk through your own personal door of love. Breathe and feel the love that is within you that you have nurtured for all the special things in your own private universe. This is your healing path. So stop often and walk through this door within. It is easy to find. Just follow the trail you left for yourself. A trail of love, left by you, for you to find your way back to your heart, so that you may walk through that door of love back to your kingdom of peace, joy, health, well-being, harmony and oneness. A door that leads not only to your kingdom, but to mine too. To all beings. Come... we are waiting for you. Always.
