Let nature refresh you....

Greetings friends,

We are having some beautiful weather where I live in Gainesville, Florida ...warm yet not too humid, so comfortable.  

Are you taking in the outdoors...letting the natural environment refresh you and lift anything that is stuck, stagnant and wants to be transmuted?  Nature is the perfect place to tap into the healing energy of our Souls guidance, wisdom and creativity. 

Recently I went to the beach.  As I was walking, with feet in the cool salty waters of the ocean, imbued with its effervescent healing properties, I felt restored...renewed.  Breezes wrapping around and caressing my being were felt deeply and I was transported to the clear, crystalline space of oneness and divine freedom.

These moments we all share, at various times, in one form or another, are meant to lift, inform and guide our journey's here on this earth.  It's not always easy to take in this majesty when we're mired in old patterns, thoughts of past and/or worries of the future...in fact, it takes tremendous energy to even try when we are coming from that limited source and perspective.   

Yet, once we make the shift and connection with our Soul self and remember the Truth of being, no-thing feels insurmountable.  We are with ourselves.  We are placed in a state of recognition and trust that guides, heals and protects us as we journey forward with greater strength. 

Gathering our wisdom from within and having direct access to that resource is a guiding light in times of uncertainty and transition.

Take some time to regroup, remember and reacquaint yourself with your Self...each and every day.  No time like the present..it is a present to yourself.  A gift.  A warm hug that naturally extends out to the world around you.

Here's a little something I wrote after my walk...

You know when it sparkles

You know when it sparkles

The sky, the water, the air, the breeze

You feel the magic song

and dance in celebration

You know when it sparkles 

you are one with the celebration

The hum, the magic, the freedom dance

spreading your arms, you receive the golden elixir

Glorious secrets penetrate your Soul 

and wisdom cells blossom

You are the knower of sparkles

The receiver of true knowledge

Now go spread it far and wide
