Blooming

How one comes to recognize their potential is unique to each person. I can see that it is the journey that matters, because it is in the continued unfolding of life they arrive at their destination. Where that destination is, may it be a joyous place. When we come upon places inside of us where we hold on to ‘blocks’ that keep us from attaining our fullest potential, it can be surprising how the impossible becomes possible in the realization of new awareness. Yes, often it can a long time to see how we hold ourselves back, but there are always reasons. You may have heard yourself say to someone, “Why didn’t I get this answer earlier in my life?” Or, “How come I am not there yet?” Or worse, “What’s wrong with me?” In these moments it is nice to turn to Nature and admire the roses. Flowers bloom at their own pace. If you notice, even the blooming has its own span of time. We are spirit having a human experience and it is not easy to do it without drama. Drama is one reason that many take longer than others to be willing to live their fullest potential. Watching the beauty of nature is a nice reminder of the simplicity. We evolve at our own individual pace. As incarnate souls we are learning to be whole. In our deepest hearts, we want to be all that we can be, whatever that looks like to you. We live on planet Earth, where so much is a dichotomy. Physically, the earth is big and if you are not living your passion in one part, you can move to another. If you like humidity and moisture you live near a lake. Or, you can choose to live in places that are dry like the desert. The earth can be felt as warm and cold literally and metaphorically, at the same time. Like the earth we also experience duality within us. There is duality in our emotions and since we have a whole range of them we are learning and evolving with them. Many times the only way to know love is to experience fear. Once that has been mastered, you can hold on to love longer. Another duality we are faced with is our light and dark sides. There is no way around having one without the other, but we can learn to recognize our ability to embrace ourselves in the midst of our highs and lows. Acceptance and trusting of oneself makes it easier to create the change needed in order to bloom. Yet another duality within us is our male and female aspects. When brought in balance this can create a whole new you. You see, I believe that living a fulfilling life would have us embrace all of ourselves and more. Meditation can really help to center ourselves and listen to the voice within that is waiting for a chance to be heard. I think that if you want to really live fully, find a meditation practice that you resonate with. In clairvoyant meditation, creating and establishing a bridge between the spirit and body enables for a more complete you. This meditation is done in the body rather than out of the body. It brings a whole new meaning to ‘being embodied.’ When you turn within, it is possible to recognize your own unique rhythms of growth. This adventure called Life, when taken with tenderness towards oneself, it helps us to takes steps toward our full potential. Yes, we evolve at our pace, but we knew that already, didn’t we? When you feel challenged, why not take a puppy for a walk and see life through their eyes! You will be reminded of excitement, love and fresh starts. Enjoy the beauty of the earth and watch the flowers bloom— you may be reminded of what you may be reminded of what is occurring within you right now.
