Newsletter #7 - October 2007
The KNOWINGS of this time
Hello my friends,
I am guided to
share my current process and evolution. It seems to
reflect what many of you are going through. This can be a
time of great joy and peace and FUN or it can be a time of
anxiety, frustration, struggle and work. We seem to go
back and forth between both ends of the pendulum sometimes many
times in the same day. Remember that this is a time of
releasing the patriarchal/ masculine way we have lived.
The forcing things to happen, being reactive to our lives,
arming ourselves to protect us and our kids from our fears for
the future, planning every detail, filling up our time and lives
with drama, doing for others to "earn" love and filling
up our homes and bodies with excess stuff/ food in an effort to
fill the spiritual hole is all part of what we are releasing.
Do you notice that
what used to bring you comfort and joy doesn't anymore?
The superficial stuff used to make us "happy."
But it doesn't fill the spiritual yearnings of our hearts and
there is always another thing to have/ do or be. Doing for
others when it is forced and guilt driven results in martyrdom
and feeling unappreciated or resentful. You have
heard people say or may have said..." I do so much for
___________ and they never do anything for me." This
keeps us in the victim role and leads to living by default.
We are being called to live deeper, conscious lives and to be
proactive in creating a beautiful life. We are called to
be awake to the NOW moment and feel it with all of our senses.
Not surprisingly,
many are complaining of right sided body aches and pains.
That is the masculine side of our body. I think it's our
cells waking us up. Telling us to pay attention to our
bodies and Spirit...not just listen to our mind chatter. It is a
time of bringing back into balance the 3 aspects of
ourselves... Spirit, body and mind. Remember that we are
Spiritual beings having a human experience. We spend so
much energy on the human part that we forget our greatest gift
and constant...our Spirit, which is our connection to
God/Creator/ Source or All that is. Our bodies will come
and go but our Spirit was with us before the body was created
and will remain long after this body is gone.
As we are awakening
to the Feminine energy in our bodies, lives, communities and
world many emotions are coming up for processing and healing.
Things from the past that we have forgotten about may come up
for healing. Letting it rise, feeling it and allowing it
to pass like an ocean wave is a gentle and powerful way to
move through it. It's not the time for analyzing, feeling
ashamed that we should be over it, or feeling guilty for
how we feel. That activates the masculine and keeps us
feeling stuck. We are being called to just let it come and
go...again like a wave.
I want to share an
experience I had recently that was so Divinely guided and
healing while revisiting a period of my life that was
extremely difficult; my college years. I felt very unclear
about myself, my value, my future and my purpose at that
time. I haven't thought of it in years and years. I
was asked to teach a class in NH months ago and ended
up within a few miles of my college last weekend. As
I drove closer and closer to the area, emotions started to
build in me...sadness, feeling not enough and very alone,
unloved and questioning why I was here. The tears came
and I felt how that 18 year old felt. I felt love and
compassion for that part of me that had decided back then that Doing
for others and accomplishing tasks/ checking things off the
list was where my self esteem and worth came from. This is
the masculine world we have lived in for so long. I
got on a real Soul level that I don't have to DO to be valued.
I have known this on a mind level and very much for everyone
else over the past years. Now I KNOW it in my heart.
That is the time we are in. The KNOWINGs will come quickly
once we release the grip we have on forcing our will. We
are moving from the knowings in our mind and head to the deep
KNOWINGs of our Heart. We are moving from physical action
to make our dreams come into reality into an allowing, patience,
knowing, letting our intuition guide us to the action at the
right time and spending out time visualizing what we want
instead of so much busy Doing.
I spent those 4
years hoping that the life I have now would come. I have
vowed to myself to remember the lessons of being beautiful, me
right here now. We need to be ok wherever we are so that
what we are seeking....contentment ..... can come in the Now and
not look to the future. Self love and acceptance is
the key and the way we bring the Divine Feminine into our lives,
bodies, communities and world. We need to love us before
anyone else can love us. We love ourselves by being
respectful of our bodies, taking time to listen to our
Spirit and putting our needs first. This isn't selfish as
you can't give to others what you don't have. We give from
our fullness not from our emptiness. The plane analogy
always helps me.... The stewardess tells us to put the oxygen on
ourselves first before assisting others.
We are being called
to practice Allowing. That is the practice of finding
contentment right where we are, KNOWING that what we are seeking
is seeking us too. It is about trust that Everything works
out well for us. So many share their amazing dreams but
there are so many but's/ fears/ what-if's that can stop us
from Allowing it to come. We don't have to anticipate
drama/ problems and arm ourselves with weapons to conquer any
unseen enemy. We just need to find joy, peace and
contentment where we are right now, no matter what the
circumstances look like. Again, I am a broken record about
this, but it is so powerful..... saying "This is
temporary" brings us right to Hope so that our dreams
can come like magnets to us.
In the NOW while you
are allowing, there are many wonderful things you will
notice. Your senses will become more acute. Your food
will taste better. You will hear what your family and
friends are actually saying. You will pay attention to
what your body needs instinctively and give it to it without
resistance. You will have time to create. You will
get to see what brings YOU joy. You will laugh and play
again. You will re-discover the beautiful YOU that got
buried under the DOING. You will create a life you want,
instead of one that feels created by outside forces.
I en-courage you
all and walk beside you as you Allow your emotions to come and
go in waves guiding you to release what no longer serves you.
I en-courage you all to dream big, fabulous, don't have any idea
how it will come, magical lives. That is what you came to
do. I en-courage you to find out who YOU are, what you desire
for this life and live that reality without excuses. I put
"en-courage" because living each moment consciously in
the Feminine energy, whether you are male or female, is not for
Sissies, as a wise nun told me. It takes guts to trust
that All is well no matter what you are looking at, to Allow
with patience, to remember that there's no competition and that
we're all on the same side, to feel our emotions and listen to
our intuition.
I'll leave you with a
great quote I found for the journals Kerry Cudmore and I created
for the Centering Retreat. "We are the hero of
our own story," by Mary McCarthy. So, dare
to be the best YOU that you can be and have fun BEing it.
You didn't come to be anyone else. We're all different
with unique gifts and talents. Add the colors of joy,
peace and contentment to your story and I will too.
If I can help you
along your path, I'm here. I hope to see you all
physically, but until then...I carry you in my heart. Have
a magical, fun filled day that is as beautiful as YOU and I will
too!
Much love and
blessings for infinite abundance in all its forms,
Jackie
