With the greening up of lawns and the bursting forth of blooms on trees followed by flowers and plants coming to life, we know it’s spring again. This re-awakening of dormant living things awakens within us a renewed sense of wonder and feeling alive. We say goodbye to winter’s dreary grip and get out the gardening tools. (Or watch others do the gardening.)
A Time for Inner Renewal
Our hearts search for renewal, too. Our souls seek awakening, too. Well, our hearts and souls seek this renewal and awakening every day as the day dawns. Yet, it’s easy to get distracted by life and simply move from this task to that task. Yet, this adds a dreariness to our soul that otherwise is unnecessary! We feel heavy – okay some of us put on a few pounds over the winter, but this is a soul weary of which I speak. Do you feel it? Many of us do as there are lingering uncertainties of our world hanging over our heads.
Let’s think about that for a moment. Well, actually, let’s not think about that for a moment. When has there never been uncertainty in life? Maybe at 4 years old and playing in the sand box. The only uncertainty then was, would I hear mom call us in for cookies and milk. (Wouldn’t want to miss that!)
Life holds uncertainty. That’s the thing about life! We live each day as it comes and do our best with whatever circumstances unfold. We do this every day. We do this without thinking. So, if we add spiritually awakened awareness to the process, the distress falls away. Let me say this a different way. If we awaken to the dawn of Light within our soul, uncertainty falls away. Our opportunities for choice come to the surface and with that choice comes awakened power to move forward fearlessly.
Certainly, there are many things we have no choice about. Hurricanes, earthquakes, or storms on the political front. Yet with an awakened soul, I can choose what action to take to best move forward in whatever circumstances prevail.
Let’s do some awakening!
Take a deep breath. This breath reminds you that you are alive! Noticing the breath and honoring your self as being alive begins the awakening process. Might want to say, “I am.”
Next, notice your body without judgment. It’s here! You are here! You are alive! You ARE! The conscious awareness that is YOU exists! Glory-glory! You are a significant part of the cosmic jigsaw puzzle called life. Say, “I am here now.”
Now, notice within you the spark of light that exists beyond your breath, your body, your consciousness. Perhaps this light appears as many sparkling lights within your energy field. (Rather than seeing this light, you may feel it, sense it, or perceive it!) Say, “I am awakening.”
With this perception, ask Divine Source to shine Divine Light upon you – all of you – breath, body, consciousness and light being. You might say, “Divine Source, please Light me up!” Divine Light of Love pours into you from the ethereal realms. This Divine Light embeds itself within your own light. Your breath now conveys this light throughout your body and your consciousness awakens in a bright new way! This Light brings choices! This Light leads the way! This Light transcends fear! This Light heals! Say, “I am Light.”
