The Path of Initiation asks only that you SPEAK UP!

The Gate is open, keep going! Beyond the tree line ascending to the top of the mountain there comes a point where the road ends and it's time to get out and walk. Feet on the earth. You may come across lost shoes. This is a sign to remove the barrier between you and your connection to earth.

Explore! Find a place where you feel connected, held, and supported.

At the time of my last writing, it was the Full Moon and before me was a journey to Mt. Shasta then continuing up to Oregon following the roots before returning through the Shasta portal from the Sacramento River Headwaters all the way to where the confluence of the American and Sacramento Rivers meet before joining in union flowing toward bay under the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco onward to the sea. The bridge, was Dance Church in a Cedar Grove and here now I arrive at the precipice of the New Moon.

In reflection, I ask, what is present?

A journey has many unknowns. Experience it mindfully. Let the inner observer observe without making too many definitives. Notice the synchronicities and let the path weave itself. There will be a point surrounding this New Moon when it becomes clear. For now, just let it live with a little mystery. Attempting to name and define every angle stifles the miracle, just as too much future/past thinking and trying to figure it out or ask why, blocks the awareness that is emerging.

In order to speak up, it is possible that a period of silence, introspection, reflection, and restoration precedes the clarity that inspires wisdom knowing expressed through vocal resonance. Honor this period of stillness, silence, and inner peace. The gate is open, and the road leads to peacefully abiding with the crisp air and blue sky.

No words, just wind.

Like the breath, exhale and let the mental chitter chatter blow by. Empty out the thoughts. It's not about time, it's about the moment. Regardless the size of the container you filled with thoughts, dreams, hopes, or desires realize the moment. Exhale and join forces with the wind to come into clarity.

The SUN!

It's warmth, never stops shining.

The MOON!

However, through shifting perspectives when new does not reflect the light of the sun. This is part of the process. Follow the rhythm and learn to discern the beauty of these moments to rest and recharge. In order for wisdom to surface, the space must be clear. Clean up the inner landscape and approach the prevailing circumstance, opportunity, or moment with courage. Don't wait for confidence.

Better than you can IMAGINE

Control is an illusion. Give in to the great mysterious unknown. From there unfolds an opportunity for a circumstance to turn out better than you can ever imagine.

Control is limiting. It only allows for a certain set of outcomes. If something by chance happens that doesn't fit into those outcomes, misery hijacks the internal experience.

Creating space for something better and beyond your imagination, allows the universe within your heart to emerge and activate a best case scenario over a worst case scenario.

Where the mind goes, the chi flows.

The instructions are simple: Focus on limits, blocks, and expectations to drive up the stress or relax the gaze to open the heart to a better than you can imagine outcome. You can't know what you do not yet perceive. This is one of those moments where something exists beyond your comprehension. So, let go, go take a bath, hike, play, relax, be gentle and trust the process.

The Illusion

In the dark fears arise. In the desert mirages appear. All are illusions. In the void, space between, the realm of the unknown, one makes an attempt to define, fill in the blank, understand, know, figure it out. This IS the Illusion. The SPACE is not meant to be filled in, yet. It is OK to leave some room for now. In fact, it is imperative that you do unless you want to be taken for a ride down a road you have already worn out. It's the loop on the end of a fishing rod upon which the bait is tied. Be wise. Learn to sit in the space between for a moment.

When you find yourself in the dark, like on this New Moon, and fear arises, or you believe something negative about yourself, recognize the importance of the moment.

The fear seems real. You may believe it. It may begin to take you for a roller coaster ride attempting to etch a groove with each spiraling thought. There is a point however, where you GET to remember and recognize that you are in the dark. What appears in the dark, may play tricks on you. It's an illusion. Choose to see it for what it is, rather than what it is not: Truth.

Truth: You are safe. It is ok. It is all unfolding in a good way, better than you can ever have imagined. Trust it.

Caution: Believing the illusion takes you down a false path. Eventually, by way of inner knowing or outer calamity, the truth will be upon you. Keep ignoring it and hoarding false beliefs, eventually your mental declutter project may need support to unravel. If you find that your thoughts have clogged up your clarity, consider registering for my Declutter to Clear program. Taking on a Declutter project is a good way to move the energy and come into clarity. Check it out here: Declutter to Clear

Nourishment While Waiting

Life meanders and takes time. The garden grows when the time is right. The farmer cultivates the soil and tends to the farm. Patience is called for yet patience does not have to mean non action. In fact, in this sense patience is a conscious, intentional active force with a voice.

In the waiting game lives opportunities to strengthen, sharpen, and cultivate your inner soil. Do the work now and set yourself up for success.

Guidance: Get clear. Keep lightening the load, clearing the space, and letting go until you are clear.

How?

The Declutter to Clear is a program that will guide you through a process of releasing using physical items that are tied to past karmic, ancestral, generational contracts. You will learn how to organize the project and strategically break these ties so that you can come into more clarity. Set up a Free Discovery Call to inquire.

As we move through the New Moon toward the year of the Yellow Seed, it is time to start cultivating the soil, planting and nourishing the seeds of your Noble Destiny aligned with your purpose and Sacred Soul Mission.

This is the path of INITIATION and it asks you to speak up.
