Ground; get fully in your body

Another aspect of blooming is being fully grounded.  For if we are not fully grounded, how in the heck can we grow and evolve into the magnificent beings we are?

Think of a flower.  It gets planted from a seed.  The seed must break through the soil in order to begin to grow.  If there is no resistance, the seed will not break open.  So the ground has to resist a bit.  (So if you are going through hard times, know they are temporary.)  It also helps that the ground be slightly packed, but fertile and aired.  Flowers and plants love compost.  We can make wonderful compost for our souls by recycling our thoughts and life events.  When something not too agreeable comes our way, instead of letting it pollute our lives, and affect us negatively, we just need to throw it in  the compost pit to extract the good, and then it will make perfect growing substrate for us.  In other words, don't focus on what you don't like/want.

Now let's say we have a growing healthy plant... but we decide to weed our garden.  Sometimes we get the tools out to uproot the weeds more completely.  That could upset our plant roots as well.  For the roots need to go into the ground deep, deep, deep.  If they stay on the surface, the plant will dry up and wither with the first sign of dry weather, or wind.  So it is important that we properly plant the seed from the beginning and encourage its root growth in the soil.

We are the same way.  We need to be fully rooted, but more, we need to be fully in our bodies.  In the age of information, we live vicariously in our heads. This can keep us in flight or fight, in a reactive state, whereas being grounded and in our bodies, we will act from our centers instead of being pulled off our centers.

I have found a little system that works quite well for grounding, and pulling me into my body.  It is something I highly recommend to everyone.  Moreover, it can be found, with several other tools on the DVD, The Ultimate Answer is Inside, which was made by a man whose name is Joshua Bloom.  How could it not be conducive to blooming I ask?  There are many other energy healers on the DVD as well.  It is like having your private team of energy healers and coaches! It will take you through a story and teach you a variety of energy healing and quantum techniques which, when mastered, will help you stay on top of the events in your life instead of feeling at their mercy.  This will in turn keep you in your body where your power is.  And your good vibrations will move out from you and positively affect those around you.

Blooming is a process.  Sometimes we have to unlearn processes that we have learned and other times we need to learn new processes.  This DVD makes a great addition to anyone intent on blooming and becoming the magnificent being they are:

In the end, we all do have what we need within us.  This DVD just helps us, like the angels, learn to tap it.  Are you ready to discover what possibilities lie within?  I wonder.

The Occult Law of Indifference

I like the sound of this: The occult law of indifference.  It is quite essential in our blooming process.  I think flowers have this naturally.  You see them just opening themselves up to receive.  They exhibit their beauty without showing any signs of being self-conscious.  If the winds come along and shake them, or if the rain pours down on them, they do not act threatened or afraid, or miffed.  At least, they do not show it.  They continue to smile and to be beautiful.  They are not afraid of the dark, although they do sometimes close up at night to stay warm.  They are not put off by sharing their nectar with the birds and the bees...

And so we may want to take a lesson from them.  Imagine we play flowers today.  Let's just open ourselves up to receive, let's just exhibit our true beauty to everyone around us and offer our high vibrations to all.  And going a step further, when winds blow in and threaten to disturb our calm, or crows come by and caw, caw, caw at us, or when some other person or phenomenon threatens our peace, let's call on the occult law of indifference and say, None of this bothers me, none of this moves me...  It is a very trusty trick to wave over a situation.  I learned it from one of my favorite metaphysicians, Florence Scovel Shinn.  It completely goes along with the saying, "Energy flows where our attention goes." 

Flowers have innate beauty.  But I don't think they can think.  We can think.  That is what makes us different from them.  But let's let our thinking lead us to the light, not take us away from it.  When we withdraw our attention from a disturbance, the disturbance can no longer exist.  It will literally dry up, enabling us to continue to bloom.

If you don't already have it, get one of Florence's books, or the entire book of Wisdom that contains all four books.  They are magical!

Ask the Angels

The Journey

One day you finally knew
what you had to do, and began,
though the voices around you 
kept shouting
their bad advice -
though the whole house
began to tremble
and you felt the old tug
at your ankles. 
"Mend my life!"
each voice cried.
But you didn't stop.
You knew what you had to do,
though the wind pried 
with its stiff fingers
at the very foundations, 
though their melancholy
was terrible.
It was already late
enough, and a wild night,
and the road full of fallen
branches and stones.
But little by little,
as you left their voices behind,
the stars began to burn
through the sheets of clouds,
and there was a new voice
which you slowly
recognized as your own,
that kept you company
as you strode deeper and deeper
into the world,
determined to do the only thing you could do -
determined to save 
the only life that you could save.

~Mary Oliver

I am so moved by this poem, everytime I read it. Mary Oliver has a such a knack for echoing our thoughts, the voices in our hearts. What a great poem to illustrate blooming!  At one point in our lives, we have to stop listening to the voices on the outside and heed the voice within.  That is when we begin to go from being a bud to blooming into a real flower.  

It means instead of letting outside authority direct our lives, we begin developing our own authority. We are so taught and conditioned to rely on the outside for what we need. But we already have everything we need, we just need to 1) realize that this is the truth, 2) believe this to be the truth, and 3) begin acting and living as if this were the truth.

Discover how the angels can help...

This is the real paradigm shift.  In order to really bloom, we need to align with who we really are.  Not the person our parents think we are, or our teachers, or our friends.  But the person we are deep within. We need to become our own authority and no longer rely on outside authority to tell us if something is good for us or not.  

It can be a little scary at first, as it means stepping out of the box.  Even though we may feel comfortable in the box.  We need to learn to take baby steps.  A very fun way to do this is by learning to communicate with angels.  

What do I mean by angels?  The angels are our lofty (non-egocentric) thoughts (hence the wings).  They represent a loving, caring energy within us that pushes us forward, that warns us when we need it, that helps us find lost items, that helps us heal when we need it, that gives us advice when we need it...  This presence keeps us aligned with our highest good.  It is really one of Life's greatest gifts!

Connecting with the angels is a sure fire way to bloom!  Our angels have always been within us.  But we sometimes loose touch with them through conditioning, through over-analyzing or over-rationalizing things, through being too loud or overly fearful and negative. The quickest path to the good we want, is by connecting to our angels, our intuition for here we have a treasure of astonishing resources; resources we never knew we had.  

Oh it won't all come over night - although it could.  Developing that muscle and learning to trust it is a learning process; but highly enjoyable and enriching.  Learning to heed the counsel of your angels promises profound transformation.  And everyone around you benefits! Look how Mary Oliver artfully describes this angelic presence that encourages us to break away from old ways of doing, being and seeing, ... and there was a new voice which you slowly recognized as your own, that kept you company as you strode deeper and deeper into the world...  Yes, definitely the work of angels!

Convinced?  I hope so.  Check out this link for more information on how you can become more familiar with this awesome presence and power you have within you.  I highly recommend all products, but the angel communication specialist class is  ideal for better developing that special connection.

It's Easier than we think...

Sometimes I think I try to do too much. Wouldn't it be nice just to be?  What would that entail? We want so much.  And yet we have so much. There has to be some trick. Something I do not know. Something that will make it all easy.  Someone said that life was a play. Was it Shakespeare? And we are all actors. In that respect, I take it we are all acting.  I think we need to relearn what we have forgotten. Just take in a deep breath.  I can understand yogis who retreat from the world to try to understand it. We are all here to grasp and understand how we relate to the whole. And I do think it is supposed to be enjoyable and light.  I think that is the direction we are going.  We have let ourselves be influenced by so much. 

And yet I think we do need to take on some influence. Just not too much.  A dab of this and a dab of that...   We sometimes understand things better through the eyes of someone else.  And other times, others understand things through our own perspective.  But there is a thread of universalness that links us all to each other.  In that respect, we are all at the same time universal and unique.  The universal part of us wants and is linked to all others and the unique part of us is what we have to give or teach others.  We all have it regardless.  It is our own creativity, our desire to express what it is that is within us that we want to offer others.  Not everyone will resonate with it. But some will.

So there is no need to compete.  No need to judge.  Accept that it is all good.  Accept that everything and everyone has a gift for us, something to teach us, a little jewel of wisdom to share, an insight that will help us grow, enrich us...  We live in a magical universe where we are all gods.  The sooner we accept this role, the sooner we will live a life of ease and grace. We are mistaken, it is not about being difficult. The difficulty resides in the fact that it is so simple and easy.  And we complicate matters by thinking it difficult.
