I have just spent the past four weeks in the North East. A very dense and populated landscape of urban life with pockets respite along the Long Island Sound and small suburb parks.
Upon my arrival, it seemed that there was a mass of zombie like energy glazed upon the faces and bodies of those whom I encountered and the dense heaviness of darkness of winter weighed thick in the air. A big contrast to the desert in the South West full of sunlight and winds of cleansing change. Bright and fresh.
Daily practice of yoga, meditation and salt scrub showers kept my Spirit light yet as time grew closer to the Winter Solstice on December 21st and my birthday on December 23rd, my shadow grew and began to weigh me down. Dragging my shadow along for the inevitable ride, I sought out a place of refuge, a metaphysical bookstore. This is where my journey back to the LIGHT began.
I was invited to a ceremony that was to be held in New York City facilitated with the traditions and medicines that called to my heart for the last decade, the Apache and the Huichol. Spirit orchestrated the timing, as Spirit always does and on New Years Eve I found myself in a Tipi in a small park in the Bronx. All time and space disappeared as the fire was tended, songs and prayers were sung and the Sacred was revered authentically in a Good Ways.
The next morning, on January 1, 2012, the Sun was bright and warm (unusual for this area this time of year). I soaked more Light into my already open and filled Heartspace on the 12th floor balcony of a highrise apartment building. Greeted by Hawk, the message came from the question:
Is this glorious sun shiny day a projection of the Light that is in my Heart? Are we that powerful?
“We Come Together with All that is Good. We hold Sacred Space in ways that have been passed on to us and for the future generations. We have entered a time where we have the potential to manifest our true heart’s desires in an instant. Believe in the power of your Spirit. The journey is what you choose it to be. The Spirits of those who came before and those to come join you in Divine Orchestration.”
In that moment, in awe of the view before me; the city skyline showered by a bright Sun, it occurred to me that scene before me might be a Projection of my own current experience….so much so that nature and the elements responded with a glorious, warm, sun shiny day.
I began to wonder, is this the simple Reality of a Beautiful day? Or is this a Projection of the immense Light that is shining from our Hearts?
