Alone Following a Break-Up 2

Troubled waters

continued from Alone Following a Break-up
Learning to overcome things that kept me from wanting to explore my "alone-ness" took months. I had to learn the technique of "mind-shift" in order to move my thoughts from the captive state of  "flight or fight" to trust and believe. Meditation helped connect me to the invisible guardians watching over… allowing me to feel safe and protected.

It was hard to move through this transition of loving myself more and appreciating the alone time. I had avoided caring for myself for many years as I kept busy with the needs of others. Insomnia had kept me hidden behind my books and sleep deprivation dulled my brain. I was ignoring my inner-voice  and doing a damn good job of it.  I was miserable, why would I want to keep company with ME? My thoughts were certainly not positive, they were more like self-pity. I didn't show this persona to the world, and most thought I was a happy being. It was only when I was alone with my thoughts that my facade would crumble. And that is where I would have remained if I hadn't learned to look within.

Abundant opportunities

When you try to move forward after a break-up often you feel it might all be better if you could return again to the relationship, or maybe find a new object for your affections. But by taking this alone time and quieting the negative thoughts I was able to find the me that had been buried beneath despair. It had been so long since I had tuned into me. What was I passionate about? What made my heart sing? What caused distress and worry? What brought me fits of laughter or silent tears? What were my favorite foods, songs or hobbies – I really had not taken the time to examine any of this.  Meditation began to strip away the thoughts I had allowed to creep in like poison ivy that were strangling my beautiful self. My inner-voice allowed me to find the creativity that had been stifled, the voice that was trapped as a lump in my throat and the forced smile now spread more naturally as I dried my eyes.

This pathway is mine, but the story may be similar to yours. You may walk this road with others by your side or choose to go it alone. One is not better then the other and tuning into your own heart's desire will allow you to feel which road is best for you. I now treasure my silence and honor this wonderful journey.

My relationship with my family and friends is far richer for discovering this me that was hidden.

Raise Your Vibration by Talking to Animals

Call me Dr. Doolittle, or call me crazy but I talk to birds. In fact I talk to all creatures and elements I come into contact with. Plants, minerals, water, sky the list is endless. Why? Because my heart seems to want to expand more and more and connecting with others in a positive loving way actually raises your vibration.

All things are energy. All things vibrate. One of the key elements in developing your intuition or 6th sense (which we all have) is raising your vibration. If you want to live a healthy life it is important to learn how to keep your energy flowing in a state of harmony. While exploring this, you may naturally feel guided to seek ways that "feel" more attuned to the way YOU are wired. After all being plugged in to you your higher-self is a sure way to live with less dis-ease. For more information about this look at my previous blog Raise Your Vibration Daily.

When I first moved to my home in Clearwater, Florida I began taking walks across the bay bridge. It has a protected walkway for pedestrians. Each day I would find myself introduced to new sea life I had never come into contact with. This was their community and I was the new kid on the block. An Osprey seemed to want to communicate with me. It felt like it was following me and at first I thought it was just a coincidence, but now a year after writing about this (see The Talking Osprey) I am convinced it is my energy that is attracting them. It is my aura that sends that signal and I am thrilled.

Yesterday as I was taking my usual stroll I saw an Osprey sitting on a tree branch that looked like it could barely contain his weight. I spoke to him with my thoughts sending him love. I began a meditation and asked my guides to help us communicate. (Meditation beside a magnificent creature is something worth experiencing. Try it for yourself, you will be amazed at how much love energy fills you.) He began his high pitched chirp. I stood still not wanting to disturb him. I felt him studying me and sensed he wanted me to come closer. As I began to move he chirped again and raised his wings. I stopped and said, "I have never really been very close to a bird of your beauty and I just wanted to have a look." He calmly relaxed and blinked his golden eyes. We stood there for a few minutes and as I turned to go he flew over my head. Wow! That was awesome, I thought, this is probably the closest I'll ever come to an Osprey. I followed the flight path and watched him land on the rail along the bridge. This is unusual as it's busy with cyclists and joggers and I have never seen a bird of any kind land there. Was he waiting for me?

I continued my route home wondering if he would become spooked by all of the people. I watched a jogger come close and he just fluttered a bit and remained seated watching me approach. I spoke to him and this time he replied by thought, "You wanted a closer look, so here I am." I slowly reached for my iphone sending him my gratitude and snapped a few photos. I felt his love and I am sure he felt mine. Two neighbors connecting on a bridge. I felt my heart racing as he preened himself and allowed me to come even closer. Majestic, graceful, and very intelligent are the thoughts that washed over me. I sent him blessings and thanked All That IS. The bird turned his head, bobbed a few times, looked straight at me and then flew away.

I felt lighter, almost giddy with happiness. What just happened? My vibration had just elevated and I was feeling the physiological change in my body. It's a powerful wonderful feeling and it is fueled by love. By opening yourself up and communicating with animals you can raise you vibration.
I no longer have any pets, I travel too much and well, quite honestly… I consider the world my home.

Begin today by saying hello to your environment. You can begin by talking to every creature you come into contact with. Send it a greeting, send it admiration, send it a thank you for all that it brings to the universe. Make the connection and then sit in silence. What might come next are the animals thoughts responding to you. Or it may be your beautiful spirit sending you a feeling of self-love. Learn to raise your vibration and BE love to the world around you that so desperately needs a nudge to a more positive healthy pathway.

Messages From the Lost Rune Part 1

Meditation can often bring the most profound messages. After they come you are left floating in the wonder brought by mere flashes of insight. I had one of those moments today. It was tied to a stone I had been looking for. I have this wonderful set of Runes I purchased from a woman that carves them and has written the little book that accompanies them. As I was cleaning the Runes to charge them I discovered that one of the stones was missing. I searched everywhere and as I meditated on it I was given the message of appreciation. It was if I was being asked to look again at what I placed value on. I contacted the woman made arrangements to have another stone sent and put it out of my mind...and then I was given this message. The missing stone is Ehwaz “eh-was” – Literally: “Horse” – Esoteric: Trust

Meditation: I see spinning lights and then water as if I am high above the earth approaching it. I see a garden but it is indoors and when I look at the structure it seems that it is an inside/outside home. This vanishes and I begin to ask my guides about all of the messages they show me…are they for my writing…are they for teaching? What is their meaning? I am given this message: Bringing understanding of my lost Rune and the photo of the inside/outside photo. How we as people place our VALUE (this was said with more emphasis) on material possessions not understanding that they all come from the planet and that we should realize this and therefore value our planet even more so. We place a wall around plants and call it our garden. It is and never will be ours, yet we must continue to care for it. My lost rune is just a symbol that reminds me of this. The stone, although used in divination, is a living member of the earth’s family and I am to treat it in the highest respect. The meditation ends and I am left feeling enormously appreciative.

Several things stand out from this experience. The incredible message of how we should all examine what we value, the reminder that we enjoy the natural resources of the planet and need to continue to be good stewards and the less obvious message–While in meditation we should ask more questions.

I am going to take some quiet time to reflect on this particular meditation regarding VALUE and I will write a part 2 to this blog. I am actually a bit overwhelmed by the enormous gifts of insight brought to me from this lost Rune. Part 2
