11.11.11 ~ A Wish for Humanity

When I was a little girl I had such an enormous heart. It is still big, but nevertheless it is deeply touching to remember the pureness, the wisdom, the love that that little girl carried. Yesterday the 10th of November, I lit a candle, a wish for humanity. I was united with  beautiful souls that came to share and experience the power and the mystery of 11.11.11 together* Going into stillness, receptive as the all-embracing water, I saw the image of that little girl and remembered her evening prayers. Every night she would ask the Divine to "please blow the dust away". The dust 'on top' of the Light in the heart that every human being was born with. Preventing it from shining its brightest. I think this is so beautiful and so sincere! With deep reverence and Love I reconnected with that little girl's pure heart and intention. Therefore on the full Moon in November,  in a Magical Garden in Denmark, I lit my candle with a Wish for Humanity from a little girl in Iceland.

Today, on the Magical 11.11.11, I received this simple yet profound message from the Cosmos:

When we invite the Light into our hearts and we welcome it, all our energy centres, the chakras, our eyes or belts, are synchronistically activated and opened. The heart is neither male nor female. The heart is where masculinity and femininity melt together and become ONE. Fire and Water. Harmony and Balance. To BE from the HEART is the simplest, most effortless way to be the light pillars we are and connect to Mother Earth and Father Sky, to be the Rainbow Bridge and beat as ONE with the Universal Heart.

Love to All on this Majestic and Miraculous day*

Yours sincerely, Sóley* 

One~ness* 01.11.11

Today's post I dedicate to my mother and to her art, to her creative expression  * Art of the Soul * and to the beautiful beings who take form in her paintings, vibrating only LOVE and COMPASSION.

Today is and has been a powerful date, filled with ones. The first day of the eleventh month of the year two thousand and eleven. Thats a lot of ones! And I felt like writing, connecting to the frequency of the number 1, but the first thing that came to mind when I sat myself in front of the computer was not the number 1, but One and Oneness. And I instantly thought of my mother's powerful, yet soft and vibrant paintings. Ever since I remember, mum has been connecting with Spirit and drawing, using her hands to touch something divine. Wow, what a blessing! They manifest, all these amazing energies come forth and manifest on a piece of paper, in beautiful colors and form. And ever since I remember she has talked of Oneness, how as a child she felt Oneness with Mother Nature, the animals, the planet, the Universe. Her name is Helga, meaning Sacred, Wholeness, where All is One.

Just around the corner, the powerful 11.11.11 gate awaits us! What intentions for that moment have been forming in our hearts? Perhaps today has prepared us so we can walk through it whole and in Oneness~

*Zorba the Buddha*

How to live in this world as an awakener, with all that constant buzzing? How to have fun, and enjoy being in this heavy body of ours in this lifetime, in this frequency, and to sometimes do the not-so-good-for-you things without feeling like we have betrayed our spiritual side? We truly only hurt ourselves by feeling that way, and we know it, we know we are all connected with Spirit, always. But I do feel a struggle, some kind of tension, conflict within many of us who are walking this path of enlightenment. Even up to the extent that ‘Ignorance is bliss’ comes to mind, and for a split second we almost think about how life could be so much easier if we would not have opened our eyes! Just like in the Matrix, that we wouldn’t have taken that darn ‘blue pill’ .

Let us then remember that with a pure heart and good intentions we can never be disconnected with our true Self, even though we sometimes want ‘things’ and we buy the cheaper milk though it’s not organic and we close our eyes and we buy hairspray! That just can’t be healthy for the environment! But hey, perhaps it’s OK, and not because we don’t have to be perfect, it’s OK because we ARE perfect. Each and everyone of us is on an individual path and it is all about making choices and to be conscious. Key word, Conscious!

Now, one might ask, but honestly, where is the line? And when do we seriously cross it? Is it watching porn, getting drunk, using drugs, laugh at black humor and think Quentin Tarantino is super cool?? Again, the answer in my opinion has to be, that what matters is to be truly true to our own beliefs and to be conscious about where we are on our path. To BE aware. Always ask ourselves, “are my actions FOR THE GREATEST GOOD OF ALL CONCERNED?” Ask, where do things come from and how do the ecosystems of this world work? I believe it must be the golden middle way that is the best, and to honor eachother and Mother Earth. We are not less spiritual though we eat meat, or if we like watching bloody thrillers. But perhaps it's time to ask ourselves, is this what I want? Does this make me feel good,  or bad? Why do I choose to smoke? Is it perhaps time to Stop? Am I bettering myself and am I benefiting the next seven generations with my actions? This is what all of us who are aware of the Shift are asking ourselves now.

There is no rule that says that if we want to become involved in spirituality then we have to give up this and that human habit, BUT, we do ask of ourselves to go about our actions with love in our hearts and live a life that is in resonance with our awareness, and to laugh and smile, dance and create. Be aware of The Dream Collage - what we dream awake makes reality*

I'm pretty sure that when we are ready to board the ship we will know what is best for us and all as a whole, and many of those heavier habits will just simply drop of with no effort*

While I was writing this post my mind pondering on issues, my fingers went surfing the net, and without remembering the route to my landing page, I now have a better and clearer understanding of what I was writing about. Please allow me to finish with Osho’s qotes on Zorba the Buddha:

A spiritual retreat with a bistro, tennis courts and a swimming pool? Naturally!

The Osho vision of the whole man is of one who is at home in both the material and the spiritual worlds. The most revolutionary aspect of this proposal is "Zorba the Buddha."

"My whole effort is to bring Zorba and Buddha closer and closer ― so close that both can exist in one human being without any contradiction, as complementaries, helping each other, not fighting with each other.

"My concept of the new man is that he will be Zorba the Greek, and he will also be Gautama the Buddha: Zorba the Buddha. He will be sensuous and spiritual, physical, utterly physical, in the body, in the senses, enjoying the body and all that the body makes possible, and still a great consciousness, a great witnessing will be there."

"My Manifesto of Zen is that Zorba and Zen are not antagonistic to each other. The Zorba can melt into Zen, and only then will both be complete. The man who has lived outside has lived very superficially. And the man who does not know anything about the inner, knows nothing about the existential, about the eternal... The outer and the inner are part of one existence. I want Zorbas to be Buddhas and vice versa... In the completion of Zorba and Zen, a tremendous quality comes to your life: you relish every moment of the outside world, every flower of the outside world. And you relish simultaneously the inner freedom, the inner joy, the inner drunkenness. Humanity has lived in a divided way, and that has been a catastrophe. It is time for Zorba to start meditating, and it is time for the people who are meditators not to allow themselves to escape from the world... Only in completion is there bliss. Only in completion have you come home."

*LOVE*

*SPRING EQUINOX*

Can you feel the power of the spring equinox? It marks the time of year when day and night are of equal length, helping us achieve greater balance. Inspired by my Chakra dance Deva sister Thorey ;) Here is a great dance that balances our Body Mind and Spirit. Enjoy*

*11.01.2011* The Serpent Rising

Transformational things are happening to me, and to put it shortly, a purple snake came to me in a dream. It was accompanied by another one, more earth toned in color. Today holds potent energy, lots of ones, I made a big decision and I feel a change within. I need to do more research and converse with my soul and then I want to write about this more thoroughly. There is change in the air, and I feel it is necessary for me to put it into words. There is so much I want to share.

The serpent holds many symbolic meanings, but the first one that came to me when I woke up was transformation. The ability to shed ones skin. A rebirth in a sense, because when I went to sleep yesterday I was facing a big question that I needed my Higher Self's guidance with. Believing in my own strength and heading in a new direction, guided by the purple snake medicine, is the next part on Soley's Journey*

I found a lot of fascinating information about what the snake or the serpent symbolizes on the following site: http://www.whats-your-sign.com/snake-symbolic-meaning.html

*FULL BEAVER MOON* NOVEMBER 21st

It's Full Moon again!

 

She came up from behind the beautiful mountain Esja, so vivid in color in the twilight, radiant. I was sitting a meeting with a few of my fellow students. One of us had arranged for an office, very spacious yet warm and cozy. My place at the table was facing those big wide windows overlooking the Esja. A very strong mountain, though mild with its green slopes.

The sky started to become a bit redish, maybe a bit more purpleish and the colours flooded the room. I looked up and there she was, peeking at first, like she was a bit shy. I could only see half of her. It made me laugh and I was so pleased to see her. I had been feeling her energy growing stronger and stronger all day with my cycles so linked to hers, and there she showed herself, little by little. Almost like she was a bit scared of her own luminous grace. It didn't take long for her to fully embrace the sky with her presence. Beautiful as always, my sister Moon in her shamanic dress..

It's Beaver Moon. Let us honor our little friends who so humbly offered their hides to our ancestors. Their beautiful hides, both waterproof and warm. Native people reveared the beaver as a great Spirit animal that held big medicine. Beavers are the builders of their own life. Something we all strive to be. They are the doers in the animal kingdom, building homes for their families. If you'd look at their dams you'd find several entrances and exits. This is a lesson to us all, not to paint ourselves into corners. A doer is productive and knows that limitations cancel productivity.

From Mystic Familiar web site: As our friend brother bear, and sister squirrel are nestleling down in to the winter slumber, now is a perfect time to do the same. It becomes a time of quiet self reflection and internal peace. As the winter begins to set in, it becomes a time when we shall honor ourselves with meditation and silence.

Greetings from a sister, a Moon Cycle Goddess* Love to you all*

Post 1o1o1o post

Wow, 2 years have past.. it's amazing, isn't it? It sure doesn't feel like a floating timezone anymore, now it just passes, time there is. It can be difficult to stay in the NOW when you've got deadlines and 'hand in dates' and it feels like time almost confines you, it keeps running away all the time.. hahaha.. must laugh at it, Time is what you make it to be.

Instead of promising 'tomorrows', that never arrive, at least not on this blog, it is probably most relieving for me and healing to just write.. I don't have to make updates.. for whom? me?

So, thanks to my friend Solveig, who just started bloggin', www.tofrakona.blogspot.com, I found my blog again whilst commenting on her blog.. so .. this is good, good, goooood.. like Jim Carey would say it.. gooooood!

Time. I have loved how much I have noticed the seasons this year. It is proper to talk about it now, winter just started and not that far away in the future is the next winter solstice when the cycle starts again. This noticing the cycles of the seasons has connected me profoundly with nature, the sky, the weather.

I loved watching spring reviving everything this year, it was amazing. I rented a favorite of mine, The Secret Garden, a children's book from the library, where the coming of spring and summer is intertwined with the kindling of childhood joy and laughter for Mary Lennox, the main character. She was still just a girl, but had never experienced being truly happy and free, like children need to feel. It's wonderfully uplifting to read. Funny enough, whilst reading, the snow was still hammering the windows here in Iceland, but spring was in the air. You could just feel it, everywhere, in the hearts of the nation.

I felt summer taking over from spring and than autumn taking over from summer, and now winter just began. Observing and feeling, sensing the cycles as much as I have been doing for the first time this year, is perhaps the reason for me syncing my cycles with the full moon cycle. For the second time now my bleeding has started on a full moon. I read somewhere that full moon and menstruation at the same time can be an overwhelming experience. I have felt it! The energy of full moon menstruation is outward and world-nourishing and you have to be a real bundle of energy to be happy and satisfied with your work under this charged condition. 

During this time, the most powerful magic can be worked and influence exerted, so it is both filled with challenges but opportunities at the same time. I also read that the natural cycle of women who live and sleep out in the open away from artificial light is to ovulate on the full moon and menstruate on the new moon. It was a fascinating read, we know how we women tend to sync our cycles with each other, friends or women in the same household. This is how it used to be for indigenous women, living in the same tribe, they all bled together. In some tribes it was custom that the women would go together, during this time, and honor the bleeding cycles, the cycles of the earth and the moon, honor the womb, Mother Earth. They would do ceremonies and and pass on wisdom from mother to daughter. The Bleeding Lodge was the heading of the article I am quoting from.

I feel how the moon has started to have mesmerizing influences on me, I love the moon! as simple as that.. hahaha.. Last full moon I got out of bed and went outside in my pajamas.. it was calling me. I couldn't see it out of the window, none of my windows, but I sensed the pulling effect so strongly, I just had to go out and see it, bathe in the light from it and be awinspired by it! 

I put my boyfriend's big jacket over my pJ's and put a hat on and out I went, barefoot in my winterboots. It felt nice. WOW, it was beautiful, almost not a cloud in the sky, it was so perfect, and with colorful glow around that made it look even bigger. Last full moon I went outside and did a little ceremony at midnight. This time, such a not-a-coincidence occurred (thats what I call coincidences that are absolutely not such things, but definitely meant-to-be-moments) I was standing there gazing at the sky,stunned by and communicating with the powerful moon, the church bells started ringing, 12 times. It was midnight again, and I was gazing.. gazing..
