Here we are in the 2nd month of the year already. Two is the number of balance and harmony, but for many of you, including myself this could not be further from what we see in our lives.

 

When chaos enters my life - after I have had my hissy fit and a cry, I meditate to get out of my own way and then I write. This process honours my feelings, allowing me to rise above the chaos and see things from a higher, symbolic point of view. In this place I move out of the chaos - rising my vibration where I realise things just happen they don't happen to me personally. I am reminded all things do happen for reason, however I don't have to know what that is; I know that will come to me when I am ready to experience it.

 

Out of chaos comes order and out of order comes chaos this contrast is the duality of life and the major component in assisting us in creating a wonderful life for ourselves. It allows us to experience and see the things we don't like in order for us to move toward the things we do like.

It the midst of all this chaos, I had a light bulb moment this month about my heart. You may have heard people say, me included "feel and open your heart" - Well I have just realised my heart is open; all I need to do is realise it. For the heart cannot be opened because it was never closed. I may have built walls around it, I may have allowed others to assist me in building these walls and I may have believed my heart was closed but my heart says otherwise, for it beats within me.

 

The more you appreciate the miracle of your beating heart, the flow of blood that pulses, the flow of energy that sustains your life, the more you realise that there is always love flowing, through you, in you, from you - to you.

The open heart is open to joy, pain, life and death. To be open means to flow, not to hold yourself rigid in fear and resistance. Your true nature is openness. You do not have to achieve it for you are open. It is the mind that is closed, locked into certain belief systems that arise from your conditioned experience.

My spiritual teacher once told me I was a caterpillar who was not aware and too scared to become a butterfly. I held myself on the leaves of tree eating more and more information never thinking I was good enough to become anymore in my life. I was completely in awe of the beautiful butterflies flying around me, not realising that was my destiny.

It is time for me and you to become who we truly are.

 

Namaste,

When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.
