Open Hands, Open Heart, Open Mind

             Everyone knows, by now, that one of my major lessons (and apparently that of many folks), is all about the Release.  The Letting Go.  The No-Longer-Clutching-For-Dear-Life-With-A-Death-Grip.

             Recently another of my past lives was revealed to me.  And boy howdy!  Was it just a big ol’ pile of LET THE FUCK GO nearly from start to finish.  (It also answered several questions, once I gazed about and saw the scenery…)

             What I have learned from exploring these various meat-suit travels my spirit has gone on, is that we can definitely see patterns.  We can definitely observe cycles and loops of what we’re working on, where we’re headed, and what helps us the most.

            The Universe reminds us now, whenever we have the option, it’s a great idea to sit quietly and look within.  Slow the outside noises, set them aside.  Here is where we find our

Clarity

             As I’ve said before, three minutes behind a closed door if that’s all we can manage.  Better even than that?  A nice lie-down with some relaxing music or guided meditation.  But truthfully, for us to take just a mini Self-Care pause, is better than not doing it at all.

             And in that brief opportunity, that still-mind moment, we really are able to see our answers and regain our center.  It works, I promise.  Clearing our brains will bring on solutions, serenity.

             Our job here is to seek out what rings true, what gives us hope and joy, then ….. we share it.  The more we can focus intention in our spare seconds, the better our souls can connect with our hearts.  And the better we can connect with our loved ones.

             Small, simple steps lead to enormous benefits, advancements on all levels.  We are worth it, take the time.  Our clarity is there, in the quiet.

Of Touch and Feel.

             This is how it is.  Well, this is how one bit of the whole works.  The piece that is making itself known to us today.

             And the piece that many of you have asked about:

retribution.

             See, we really do plan our lives.  We chart it so that we learn the exact lessons we’ve come here to learn, in the best possible way.  With choices, and freewill always in the mix.  It’s all about the evolution of our soul, and has very little to do with the body we are wearing.

             Wait, it has some to do with the body we are wearing.  Primarily the lessons on that level are to be beyond the concerns of this mortal shell.  Soul work trumps body work, always.

             It’s not our job to make others “pay” for their transgressions.  We have a physical justice system, true.  And yes, it’s flawed.  Because it’s run by humans, inherently flawed beings.

              Again, moving beyond the material realm, we let the repercussions of a person’s actions go.  Everybody is called to task for their actions.  Every body.  But, it is simply NOT our job to do the calling.

             Our goal is to rise above these issues.  Like being the better individual, our lessons are about moving past the mundane and aiming at the spiritual.  However, our daily draw does remind us that there are those activities, all physical, which bring us emotional joy.

             She is of matter, of the Earth.  She appeared today to remind us of our tactile passions.  Reading, writing, art, crafts, gardening, hiking, neighborhood wandering.  Makes no difference WHAT it is, just don’t forget how happy it makes you.

             Princesses were what these Pages originally were called.  They bring us the gift of Girl Child power.  That heartfelt and blossoming feeling of being female, of sentimentality, and of natural intense warmth.

             Her reminder is to be free with your passions, and enjoy the physicality of your being.  Let go of worries about what other people are doing or getting or having or feeling.  We are being asked to aim at ourselves and shower these beautiful souls with loving care.  And ya know, any items that bring us joy.
