Stillness

Blessings to you all. Ever have one of those days where nothing seems to be going right? You cant find your lucky pair of socks, your purse or billfold isn't where you left it and you are going to be late for work. Yikes! I think we all have had days like these. I had one the other day. I couldn't find my wallet and was ready to give in when I said a prayer to St. Anthony and there it was in the same place I had looked ten minutes earlier. Days like these are bad enough but they can feel like they are magnified 1000 times when you're feeling blue. At first your friends and family are there for you to help with your issues. They sit with you and listen as you tell them about your fears about losing your job or looking for work. They help you network to find a job and give suggestions, but when things fail to materialize, because they aren't able to feel what you are feeling, they become frustrated and begin to back away. I don't know, maybe they are afraid they will catch your no-jobitis or whatever else is causing your melancholy. The truth of the matter is that even though they don't know it, they are getting out of the way to give Spirit room to sit with you and guide you through.

When we are able to be quiet, and really listen to what our hearts are telling us is when we get the real juicy spiritual answers about where we are, where we need to be and the steps needed to get there. We all get guidance in different ways. I get mine in my solar plexus or simply a gut feeling. Others might hear a whispering in their ears. And then there are those who are clairvoyant. They see things with their mind or third eye. There are other ways of getting messages from the Universe, aroma being one of them. I have had experiences with smelling things that aren't there. Another way we can allow Spirit to enter our hearts is prayer.


I'm not talking about saying something like "Oh Lord I am not worthy......" as the cartoon God said in "Monty Python and the Holy Grail"... "too depressing"; but simply having a conversation with Spirit, remembering to say thanks for everything in your life including the stuff that doesn't seem to be the best at this moment. Difficult times often come because we need to remove the things that don't serve us anymore. We need to be cleansed so we can start fresh. When we meditate on Spirit and know the Love that Spirit is. we understand that there is NOTHING we can't do, be or have. We ponder our lives in small terms. Spirit wants us to think big!

Try this: get up 20 minutes earlier than you normally do and just sit quietly with eyes closed and meditate on the unconditional Love that is Goddess and God. See the white light flow into your body and feel it seep into your every cell. Be grateful for everything. Even the stuff that seems to be the hardest to be grateful for. When you are grateful, blessings will flow to you.

Finally, know that even though you might feel that people have not been there for you, they are thinking of you and sending love. When we can sit still and just soak in the guidance that Spirit sends to us, we can get to where we are going and, on to the next place.


With that.... I send you all love!

Remember, send blessings,love and gratitude to the bees around you. They are much more important than you realize and they need our prayers. I send many to mine.
