I was reminded of this on New Year’s Eve, and woke up early on January 1st to see what question would emerge to set the tone for the year ahead. I spontaneously asked myself, “What I would be like; what might I do, if I were even freer from the restrictive patterns of my personality?” I’ve asked myself that before and this time the question evoked a response from me that was not just mental. It was physical, emotional and energetic. Immediately, I felt the sense of vibrant aliveness and joy that I feel when filled with the Creative Energy that comes, when I allow my voice to totally let loose or when my writing flows and I forget time altogether. I know you have felt this too. What is it that ignites your passion for life? If you don’t yet know, now is the time to find out.

This New Year calls all of us to come out of hiding, to Be and to Share our Essential Selves. We’re long past the need for proving our worth or justifying our existence. Issues of self-esteem are now past tense. Who we each are is essential; no one is more or less important to the whole. What we see in form is a fraction of the truth of creation. Our state of being, our energetic contribution and our inspired actions are an integral part of all the change upon us and happening through us.

For many years the Ancestors, who guide and infuse my work, have used the words, “Ee Yah Shay,” with emphasis, to vibrationally remind me of my true nature. It is used as both an acknowledgment (like “Namaste’ “) and a wake up call, in which case it means “BE the Light That You Are!” These times call for no less than that. My understanding is that we will be “surprised and amazed by all that unfolds.”

For the last thirty years, they have been teaching me to live in the Mystery so that when the time came I could assist others to do the same. Apparently I am a slow learner, although with no clear idea of the curriculum not to mention invisible teachers, it was understandably challenging, although never boring!

Yesterday when my intellect made yet another attempt to focus me back into what it considers “reality” this poem suddenly popped out onto my page. I’m not suggesting that you should stop balancing your check book (or ignore any other current situation), only that you and I both do it from a state of consciousness that is attuned to reality rather than illusion.

In my next post I’m going to share a practical example of how the heart’s wisdom can more effectively handle life challenges. Here’s the poem:

Updating Ulysses

Enough brooding over bank balances
This day holds mysteries that call you to follow
The siren song of your heart

There are no rocks to dash your dreams to bits
That’s the illusion that
Those who feared to follow sold you

Take the leap
Let the magic carpet of your heart carry you
There really is no-thing left to do
But LET GO
At last
And FLY

Our intellects naturally focus on problems-on what we perceive as reality through our five senses. As Einstein put it so well, “You can’t solve a problem at the level of the problem.”

Since most of us in this culture live primarily in our heads, looking for logical answers is an automatic response. Intellectual solutions alone, especially now, fail to solve the root cause of the situation. Even focusing on a positive solution generated by the intellect can miss the point of the challenge, which is the expansion of your Essential Self.

In my last post I wrote about the benefits of “Sound Bathing” with audible sounds. You can also enter the sound or vibration of silence, and with the Life Force, the Light in each breath you take, clear your heart as your brain entrains to the wisdom of the One Mind through your own heart. Your heart is “a specialized brain” *, and is able to access wisdom that is beyond the level of any problem or challenge you will ever experience. When your brain and heart are in harmony, you free yourself from duality thinking; align with the Infinite Mind of all possibilities, and release yourself from the limitations of cause and effect!

Since your heart can also store painful or intense memories, it is essential that you consciously clear your heart first so that you can access new information. The Life Force/Light can clear your heart of old memories that limit your ability to directly access wisdom and guidance. It is not necessary to add audible sound, unless you are inspired to do so. Sounds or mantras, such as those used in the practice of Ho’oponopono, can also be silently repeated. Following what you are inspired to do is the key.

Whenever thoughts of any challenging situation arise, focus on your heart as you breathe. Intend that Light, and whichever sound vibration you chose, clear your heart. Allow Inspiration to guide you. As your heart and brain come into harmonious relationship, you reconnect with your Self—potential solutions spontaneously arise or happen independent of your actions. The timing and solutions are always “I ka pono mea” — the Hawaiian phrase which means “all things are in exellence.” This is also a powerful mantra to repeat: with thanks to Aunty Mahealani via Renee Robinson aka The Book Angel (favorite sites).

The speed of creation is accelerating; the faster we all remember to move out of our intellects and into our hearts, the faster we will be in alignment with and create our hearts’ deepest desires.

Some situations can be more emotionally challenging, and inspired sound can be a powerful catalyst. Last year, while living in Hawai’i, I had a client who had never experienced a sound session before and it was, as I understand, an initial stretch for her. The very first time and in every subsequent sound session she was profoundly affected. Her words to me were,” I don’t know what happens or what you do, but after each session my life changes.”

She was truly ready for a significant life change, and I watched that occur with her in a very powerful way. My own belief is that I don’t “do” anything for someone else. My role is as a catalyst and support—the power to change came through her conscious choice and commitment, and from the vibrational assistance that is always available for all of us when we ask.

While I am on a break from traveling, I am offering a short complimentary call so that we can explore, if what I offer is a match for your current needs. You can reach me via my contact page. As always my wish is that you manifest your most outrageous dreams, and create from a heart that is free of memories you no longer choose to repeat. It is time for each of us to be and to create from our True Nature.

* I highly recommend the book, The Secret Teachings Of Plants by Stephen Harrod Buhner. Contrary to what you might expect, the first part of this book is filled with some of the best presented and researched information I have ever read about our hearts. The rest of the book is equally wonderful—5 stars!!
