At about the same time, I was making connections with people on social media that felt deeper than just making new online friends. Some were people I had known in the past in some way, like one who was a student at the high school where I first taught in Tohatchi a long, long time ago. I am so old.
I had intended to blog about each person who has influenced me so far and how they have influenced me but there are so many. As I listed under each name the things I have learned, I realized that almost everyone on my list was sending out similar messages and lessons. That's why I decided instead to organize my thoughts as to the --
Messages received and lessons learned
The main message I received from many is that I need to slow down and achieve balance. I've been "stirring the pot" and now I need to step back and let the flavors simmer. I need to find calm for myself.
Recommendations to accomplish this include holding onto some calming blue chalcedony, practicing daily 10-minute chakra balancing meditation, conducting a bowl burning ceremony to release negative energy/let things go, and learning to immerse myself in the moment.
Another common message was that change is coming, good change, and it might happen quickly. I'm headed down paths unknown but Spirit will be with me. All I have to do is picture it happening and it will. Life is speeding up but I need to maintain calm from within.
So what am I doing?
I'm blogging, first and foremost, which is a grounding activity for me.
I walk whenever possible, even if it's only through the supermarket. You can get some good walking in at Smith's.
I have an acre of land and I will also "pace" in the front yard, simply walking back and forth along this little path the dogs have made. The fresh air is cleansing.
As I pace, I chant, asking Spirit to send me "positive energy, love and light; healing energy, love and light; and calming energy, love and light." Sometimes I talk to myself, planning out loud my day.
I smudge a lot, sometimes multiple times a day, and I continue to add crystals and rocks to my collection. I love to make rock arrangements with them, very calming.
I've also recently begun doing a 10-minute meditation when I feel the need. It often happens that, when I first begin the meditation, I almost stop because I feel like I'm too nervous but then I concentrate on the guide's voice and it all comes together. Each time, I'm able to calm down a little quicker. It helps me get off to a good start to the day.
I continue to pay attention to my mentors and ask questions. I love what I'm learning so far. What I appreciate most about almost all of what I've learned is the positivity and love shared among these special people. Thank you.
Until next time. Peace.
