Sisters of Light...a time of transformation and transmutation





 They were 6
each from different sides of the earth




they came together by chance
or so it would seem
soon founding out
there was no such thing as chance
that the Divine plan was real...
alive and breathing 
 weaving them together by Their Divine Connection
calling them to gather
and gather they did.



For two years they were faithful
coming together
in the upper room
at dawn
 Where they laid out their journeys
 shared their hopes and dreams
 gathered support and offered wisdom
and honoured The Great Spirit.



And together they grew a bound 
that surpassed time and space
A bound that brought their "highselves"
together again and again
to dance amongst the stars
and breathe the fairy dust of Love
deep into their beings
so that their humans selves
lived in the knowledge
of the Great Beyond
and the Deep Magic
that is
with out any doubt
learning to surrender to the will
of the I am 
and trust the Love that Is.



Then one day
The Great Spirit came to them
and said
"No More"



These words sent fear and grief into their hearts
but in their journey
they had learned to listen
to be still
and to trust.
 To go beyond the immediate
and to rise up like the Eagle
seeing all from a wider perspective.



And so it was
they listened deeper
they sought wider 
and they listened in stillness
to understand
what was being asked of them.



And the Great I Am spoke to each of their hearts
telling them
that nothing remains the same
to everything there is a season
under heaven.
They had proven themselves
They had shown their commitment
and now
it was time to go out on their own
to take what they learned
and let it grow in the freedom
of their own lives.
They would still be connected
Divinely so
and nothing would change that.
This was a new season.
A new Journey 
The reflection of the Ebb and Flow that is. 
They had answered the call
and done what they were called to do
and now
a new calling had been place forth
a calling
to go even deeper.



One by one they heard it
and through tears of grief
and mist-understanding
they knew it to be true.



This was the next season
one in which they would not come together
as they once had...
something new was on the horizon.

They began to unravel the transformation
they had each experienced
over the past two years.
Watching as old skins had been shed
and new ones provided.
They saw the hand of God
carry them from place to place
within their soul
revealing the truth of who they were.
And they knew
that with such transformation
there comes transmutation.
Things simply
cannot
remain the same.



And through tears
and laughter
they found themselves stronger
*not weaker*
standing apart
For the Divine Connection did not break
it only grew between them
touching all those who walked in this space
between them 
all the souls they came in contact with
all the hearts they were around.



Yes
they would continue to gather
in the way they were called to
committing to their practice
committing to the Source
from which they came
and one day
would return back to.

Sisters of Light
they would continue to be.
Loving
Trusting
Listening
Guiding
Letting their Light shine
Pouring into the world
the Great Truth
 they are living.





 Whats transforming in you these days 
my lovelies?

Love and Light

Retreat Reflections#5...Sometimes, you have to "go there"




Sunday Morning...
and it was she
"The Guide"
prompting us to enter
The Shadows


Sometimes
you have to go there...
to those places that are not so easy
to those places in yourself
that you feel are 
unloveable
unacceptable
un-useful


and so...
we followed
trusting hearts
into the garden of our souls
looking for signs
looking for answers


we connect to our Higher-selves
She came with information for us,
revealing something that has been blocking 
our Divine Vision
She wants us to help us 
see it in a different light
to look at it through Love's eyes
to see what we thought was ugly
is actually beautiful...


through each negative inside
a positive is born
this is the way of the Divine
never wanting to leave us in our darkness
always there with us
always giving an alternative choice


Together we walked there
in those tender places
Learning the truth
about them
Accessing the Guidance 
to the abundant support
available to help us become one 
with that part of us...
the part we find unloveable


In this place
we not only face the shadow
we seek the message from our Heart
We listen for the Divine Words
waiting to be given
We understand that help is always there
We know we are not left to walk
these Shadows alone...
*

My lovelies,
who walks with you
in your Shadow Parts?
Do you have ones who do not judge 
who only support?

Know this:
I walk with each of you
holding space for your truth to come;
your Heart Messages to be revealed
I hold the Light in the Dark Places
this is what I do...

"I am woman
let me do what it is I do"

Love and Light

Retreat Reflections#3...A Walk with Mother Nature




On this beautiful afternoon 
it was she who lead us
into the forest
walking by water
breathing in Mother Nature 
and the stories She tells


May the Great Spirit bless you
may the Great Spirit guide you
may the Great Spirit be with you
As you walk your way...

Walking allows you to contemplate Life
It gives you time
precious time
to go deeper and consider fundamental questions...

What is the purpose of Life?
Am I fulfilling my purpose in Live?
What have I done that has made the world
a better place?
What ought I do?
What comes after life?
What is the best way to live the rest of my life?
*
As we walked
she asked us to me mindful of our surroundings
the purpose was to be quiet
and really listen
and see the beauty of nature around us.
She said,
"Consider the age of all that is around you...
all this came before you, 
before your forefathers, 
before the indigenous human species,
all this was already here."


We stood
in stillness
within Nature
that blessed us with 
the wisdom of the ages.
We let that wisdom wash through us
as we let ourselves rest and relax
in the knowledge
that we were
exactly where we were
supposed to be.
*

And I felt the release continue within
I felt the unraveling of the journey I walked
I felt the Love of that which walks with me
Of the Great Spirit
God
Love
The Universe
Divinity
The one
who never leaves me
*

The Water
The Forest
They call to me
At the pool of water
 Mother is waiting for me
The Feminine Divine
Her voice is soft and gentle
She says my name
And in Her eyes I see myself
She is rooted with strength and grace
Knowing her place
She is speaking to me with no words
Deep within me she has places a message...
one I am not able to hear right now
But I feel loved and connected

she comes closer
"You are chosen"

I am at peace
I am okay
I am

I posted this video not because of who is speaking
(prior to this video clip I had not heard of her, 
nor do I follow her work nor have I read her book)
I posted it because of what she is saying
here
in this moment
I believe these words are universal
and needed to be heard
