LIGHTWORKER BLINDSPOT
As a profoundly sensitive human, I am careful and particular about who + what I interact with. When someone is only willing to be / work / stay / explore IN THE LOVE + THE LIGHT then there likely awaits a shit-ton of untended information / wisdom / juice / dormant potential AND ALSO warnings + landmines. Ignored or untended material can become volatile, awaiting opportunity to burst forth or seep out from the shadows bringing tumult - often manifesting as DRAMA.
We ALL carry untended material, but if you refuse to explore yours or honor it in others, you may be walking with quite a stockpile and working with a mighty big blindspot.
CHAOS: FRESH AWARENESS AND AN EVOLVING RELATIONSHIP
Let’s be real. Chaos is unavoidable. And not all chaos is bad. I don’t mean… let’s be neutral about chaos… although I think that’s also a helpful tactic.
I’m saying that my well honed chaos detector activates panic and deploys shields (that once SAVED me) sometimes too soon. And I miss out on the ENJOYMENT of the chaotic parts of creative endeavors.
GROWING SMALL
I've been moving toward simplification in my life with a concentration on a slower pace in 2018 (externally AND internally). An evolution of this focus is QUALITY over QUANTITY, and it's showing up in a few ways. For example, my numbers are DOWN across the board in all aspects of my business.
My circle GROWS SMALLER.
How's that for a paradox?
SENSITIVE INJURY - A PERSONAL CHRONICLE
I've previously written more on the INJURY PHASE of what I've dubbed the SENSITIVE CYCLE but have never chronicled my own experiences from within this stage. Here you'll find a quick description of the SENSITIVE CYCLE, along with four videos totally 27 minutes, spanning a month's time during a recent period of PERSONAL BURNOUT which had me firmly planted in INJURY mode for longer than expected.
RAVENS PROMPT A REVIEW
[AUDIO VERSION AVAILABLE] On a recent morning, a pair of ravens in tight formation and synchronized movement flew 15 feet over my backyard as I enjoyed my morning coffee. While there is typically a mated pair of Ravens making their home in the foothill territory to the west of me, it is NOT common for me to see them together and certainly not in a silent synchronized flight directly overhead.
DEVOTION IS A PRACTICE
Whether in the realm of relationships.... faith... principle... path... project... or promise,
I believe to declare something as sacred, we must practice the art of devotion.
But don't be daunted.... a practice can be honed... devotion can be learned...
SACRED CAN BE CLAIMED
DEVELOP YOUR EMERGING GIFTS
[AUDIO VERSION AVAILABLE] While many of us will operate within similar structures, containers or frameworks, I’m suggesting an essence level shift to doing YOUR work in our world vs. wearing and walking forward someone else’s style or techniques that will fit differently on you and may not allow YOUR full potential to shine through. FOLLOW OTHERS. GET INSPIRED. BE TEACHABLE. AND...
REMEMBER THERE IS A TIME FOR YOUR EMERGENCE.
WHAT MATTERS MORE THAN CAN'T
[AUDIO VERSION AVAILABLE] The energetic and emotional costs to build and maintain a FORTRESS OF CAN’T are exorbitant and without yield or return. So while essentially you pay either way, to FIND YOUR CAN is an investment offering results and rewards.
