More rain

The sky is charged and a spotted gray that calls
an owl of the night moving through the skies
in her journey of awakening into our dreams

over the snow covered mountains
peaks of icycles

Soaring into the clouds
extending into the void
fearless

Eyes piercing through the veils
woman that dances by the shore
her call of desire as the fingers lift
curve into mist

Pleasure

opening the cycles
as the rain runs through
all obstacles

more rain coming
our way
clearing the long suffering.

Waking up to life!

What a title...I thought to myself but being that it is still dawn and partially night still, a few birds slowly singing to the rise of the sun, which is still in the backgroud, most of the day is covered with an overcast that promises some rain. I like it. I like the freshness and slight cold sneaking through the cracks of the house. The cars all pulling through the boulevard, now one has yet the energy to start the honking and speeding, that usually takes off around 9:30 or 9:45am.

The cycle of rushing, not having enough time, rushing where? Where is the race? Taking pauses is the greatest relief I can think of. Just knowing that everything that is suppose to happen will happen at exactly the moment it is suppose to happen. The issue is how do I stay still enough, how to create enough stillness so that the seduction that tells you otherwise does not overflow into your system and takes over so that you find yourself in that same place racing on the hamster wheel, over and over again.

Keeping momentum long enough so that a shift can occur through the crack that becomes available because it is never a given, it may open up in the oddest times and situations. As I start complaining about my hidden fears or worries, my roommate moves over to the window of my room and says: a homeless, come and look. We are so damm lucky, we could be out there pushing a cart, in the cold with no where to go, hungry perhaps. Yes, here I am in the comfort of my room, heated house and refining how I walk through the portals of life!

More on Love

Sometimes the distance between having full presence and walking like your above the ground is slightly off. An ethereal feeling, one of the patients at the clinic where I work said. Ethereal...maybe that is what happens when you are disconected. Floating and being dreamy like, easily shifty into emotions that don´t belong to you. So I look around, felt each person as they were finished with their sessions and always curious at how acupuncture affects each one. AFter all we are here to move energy, unplug emotions, unblock stuff that you´ve chosen to hold on to. Heal and soothe the muscles. Let the body flow again as the energy moves, circulating through your entire body.

Then they emerge (patients) from either room, with a feeling of release, enlightment and rest, yawning and wondering how they got there. For me it´s like witnessing full transformation, a current of love moving through each room and touching each one lightly to see if they might awaken. Some are extremely vulnerable, sensitive and other emerge talking even before they come to my desk. They stay there, they want to stay there.

Then there are others that long after they´ve left the clinic call in with the rising of clearance and tell that they don´t know what is wrong with them but that they feel ethereal and laugh as they try to describe the feeling.

This feeling of love or like a like to call it a current of love that travels every second through the city absorbs your heaviness, it sends waves of warm touch through different parts of your body, depending where you have manage to make an opening. I generally get waves of it around my ankles, on the left side of my body as if warm water is suddenly running through where I have managed to set aside the stones that keep it from flowing.

Love is more than a feeling my teacher told me once. Raised to believe it is something that rushes through your body, a surge of oxytocin that overflows from head to toe and then what...you are just driven by this feeling which is like taking a shortcut to the whole pleasure of being in love.

So love is moving with ease through life and extending your roots as you become grounded into what you are in your essence besides the different energies that have overtaken from the moment of birth. Once the manifestation of your mother and father has been released and you no longer carry out their dreams and unfinished business then the outpour of that first cry that took place as you were being born comes back to your body and you claim it, then all can take place as you intended before you came into life, before your conception.

more on this later....

Learning to let go....

The other night I came home a bit tired but full, complete, happy. My guest was sitting at the kitchen and had an I Ching book next to him. I thought to myself I have a couple of questions, could we ask it and see what happens. Sure enough, the first chapter was directly about what I am intending these days: Prosperity! How to walk in prosperity, how to further open the doors to the self-value that invites prosperity and abundance into life. The Universe is abundant, everywhere you look there is an abundane of richness, you grab a handful of dirt and it is beyond our eyes the richness that you hold there.
I have listened to the Louise Hay cd´s on affirmations and repeated it many times, you just keep inviting that feeling, that natural feeling of abundance I was born with. I began affirming that I was worthy, that I was ready to live in prosperity.
The I Ching said to use the awareness to cultivate the garden.
To separate and later unite.
Sobriety.
It is a time to make contacts.
when in abundance: limit, regulate, separate..
The prosperiing environment will give me the opportunity to organize.
Learning to work with others.
Inner Harmony.
Unite the instinct to cosmic forces...

I am still processing this mood, these new attitudes and through writing it seems essential to live in. Unite with the cosmic forces. There are certain words that just keep resonating over and over in my head as I clear and open space.
Complete liberation. To liberate the mind so there is space, so there is a deep grounding taking place.
Letting go of any attachments. Attachments are an illusion.
