Everything is Holy Now....
Wow is all I can feel and say! So much has shifted in the last few days- this morning as I sip my coffee and listen to Heather and Benny sing "Everything is Holy Now" , I allow review and words to express what I have been witness to.
I began my volunteer career at the Wild Animal Sanctuary on Tuesday- I got to feed the tigers and mountain lions, leopards and servals- and watch the lynx get fed. I stood for almost 8 straight hours- having not had that experience for awhile and sorted food for the animals, cleaned big buckets- using my body a lot- coming home and feeling the contentment of giving and receiving in the body! To witness these magnificent animals up close was such a treat- to witness their behavior- their gratitude- their playfulness- tears well up! Most of these animals have been abused and all have been kept in environments that didn't allow them to be who they really are!
I also got to know the other volunteers I worked with and heard this story of peer pressure of working really hard, working past your shift- without judgment I stayed clear about what I was willing to experience for myself- I noticed the beginnings of the new leadership as it came close to the end of the shift and we were asked to finish the buckets and the other volunteers looked to me- this new way of being- not doing because it is expected, choosing in the moment, choosing from what takes care of you and knowing that takes care of the whole....whew!
The next day, I awoke to a pigeon flying into the house and choosing to hang out all day- I felt the energy of family and new beginnings- I felt more of my heart open- crying in the morning. I felt my brother and sister with whom I have not communicated with in awhile- I felt communicating with them and did- with nothing but love in my heart.
Then I took a walk with a dear, dear friend and brother who is feeling challenged right now- at least that is how he presents himself to me....after an emotional conversation, I got that it is a pattern between the two of us- he shows up less than the God he is and I encourage it- we talked openly and lovingly- both of us recognizing this pattern- this pattern that holds us all back- holding each other in less than perfection- wanting it to be different for the other- whew- huge! And to do this with no story of anyone being wrong- whew! Both of us committed to shifting this and not really knowing how...except to be aware and to take a break; including canceling the radio show we do together... I could feel the energy moving in my body- especially in my second chakra and throat- I could feel a deep sense of loss when I got home...feeling more into that, it wasn't about him, it was about the pattern. Yes...to this I read in Rev Angela this morning- this is what I stand for...
"The Absolute Oneness of God is all there is and I recognize this Oneness as Life. I know we are the intention of Good manifesting in the universe. We are the Beauty that erupts from the eternal stillness Itself. Children of perfect Love, Power, and Intelligence."
I refuse to see anything else and when I do, I commit to shifting it within- all this being done in such beautiful self care- bath and glass of wine after the day at the Sanctuary, manicure and pedicure yesterday after the walk and today I am feeling a walk and a massage.
With much love,
EL

Participating With the New World 01/23 by Imagine1 | Blog Talk Radio
Participating With the New World 01/23 by Imagine1 | Blog Talk Radio
Greetings all,
I feel compelled to write a bit of my own that has been brewing for awhile....this show has inspired me!
There has been a shift for me since the solstice- where I heard the message..."Everything has changed and everything is different." The shift has been subtle and even though I have outward signs of living in a new place, more money in the bank, a car, a space to call my own for the first time in 4 years- the feeling of the shift is much more potent within.
I wrote last night as I prepared for the radio show that it has felt like the last few years, I took myself out of the world and now I am entering back as a new Being- like a child- desiring new experiences and willing to have them even though I may feel a little fear around the experience.
I clearly saw in December, that "we have finished the bridging of the two worlds project/game- the shift- the door is open." Meaning that it is now possible to merge our divinity and our humanity in this body- without leaving the body. I celebrated my part of that- of which I admit to not fully knowing - but can see the reason behind moving around so much in the last few years- something I was and carried was being infused into the energy of each place I visited- all the while, I was growing and learning how to really care for myself, to love myself. That looks like being gentle with myself, that looks like loving myself enough to begin to dream about what I want- to accept I have desires and that I can experience those desires, that looks like being able to be myself no matter what is happening around me- like when I am with someone who is experiencing a release, a dark moment- I get to still be me in joy and love- I do not have to hide it anymore!
What is mentioned in this show by Meredith Murphy is the profound healing that the ascension has offered is the trust that we can feel that each soul is exactly where they are supposed to be and we are not responsible for their journey- I celebrate that healing for myself. I can Be with someone and witness them cry and scream and shout and even try to hit me and not want it to be any different- trusting that they are exactly where they are. I can trust whatever action I may be called to take in the moment- and also trust that if it doesn't align, I can choose again.
Merging our divinity and humanity means to me that I can powerfully witness all that is and continue to dream in a different reality- a world where we live from what makes us happy, where we all live from that space of peace within, where we see any judgment or story about something as an opportunity to grow, where we truly know that there is plenty for all, where we accept each person as the special being they are and not want to make them any different, where we begin to make choices and decisions in the clarity of this feeling. It is this space that I feel where everything is slowing down and I am seeing and hearing and smelling and touching everything in a new way- it is subtle- and I will keep calling attention to it- for my own well-being as well as others!
It is about going to game night this week at the Boulder-Integral Center and sitting with a 30 year old, a 20 year old and witnessing the 30 year old desiring to merge her worlds- to no longer keep separate her work world from her spirituality, from her home life. It is about witnessing the 20 year old creating the world she wants while still feeling her fear- this New World is real and it is being dreamed in and we are participating!
With much love,
Elizabeth Lynn
