I just had to share! Wishing you love and light.....

"There is something about a candle that makes it more spiritual than physical. A physical substance, when spread, becomes thin. Spirituality, when spread, expands and grows.

When you use something physical, it is diminished. The more money you spend, the less you have; the more gasoline you use, the more empty your tank becomes; the more food you eat, the more you need to restock your pantry. But spiritual things increase with use. If I use my wisdom to teach, the student learns, and I come out wiser for it; if I share my love with another, I become more loving, not less. When you give a spiritual gift, the recipient gains, and you lose nothing.

This is the spiritual property that candles share. When you use one candle to light another, the original candle remains bright. Its light is not diminished by being shared; on the contrary, the two candles together enhance each others' brightness and increase light.

We sometimes worry that we may stretch ourselves too thin. In matters of sprit, this is never the case. The more goodness we spread the more goodness we have. By making a new friend you become a better friend to your old friends. By having another child you open a new corridor of love in your heart that your other children benefit from, too. By teaching more students, you become wiser.

Keep lighting your candles. There is an endless supply of light in your soul. You will never run out of goodness."

My "accident" provided me with the chance to be still. Really still.   Sometimes painfully still.   Gulp!  

In this stillness, I have been struck by a recurrent message. Strangely (or not) the message has been about the illusion of duality ~ specifically about the apparent separation of light and dark....Hmmmm.....   

Over and over, I have been overwhelmed by this feeling that there isn't a choice between the forces of dark and light (this feeling has been reinforced by the fact that my boys have recently "discovered" Star Wars..LOL:)); rather, dark and light simply "are" one and the same. And, along this vein, we don't have to choose to go towards the light (or dark); rather we can simply "be" light.  

Now, I know this isn't a "new" realization; on an intellectual level I have "known" this for years. However, over the past several weeks something has just clunked into place. It's as if this sense of knowing has settled into my knitting bones. Wild.    

So, where am I going with this? Well, these are undeniably "dark" times we're living in and it is easy to feel helpless, small and angry at the dark forces "out there".  It is easy to  wallow in despair or, on the flip side, slip into denial about the existence of darkness. It takes courage to walk forward into the "dark" and explore that which is unknown about ourselves and the universe.  

Interestingly, I have witnessed many coaching clients, friends and acquaintances  stepping or  leaping into the unknown as of late. And, almost universally, they are discovering that the darkness simply "is" and -yeah!- there is a way  through it. Hmmm....    

As we approach the darkest day of the year, it seems fitting to delve deep into the darkness and see what comes up....  

I have a hunch we will find that we are lighter than we ever imagined!  

Here is one of my all time favorite inspirational videos...It speaks so much to stepping into the unknown and finding out that it was all illusion.  Enjoy!

Love, light and radiant blessings. 
Namaste.

I sure have. To me, it just seems that the whole situation calls for an entirely new approach. Approaching it with the "same old, same old" thinking is surely bound to get us the same results we've seen in the past. And we all know that this thinking has contributed to the situation we find ourselves in today...GULP!

Sooo, let's get creative folks and throw away the box when it comes to considering how to best create solutions to climate change. Hmmmm....

Annie  leonard does a great job of calling for innovation. Take a moment to watch her film. Listen with your heart. Use your imagination.

Remember, it isn't up to corporations or government to rescue us....."We are the ones we've been waiting for".

Race to Nowhere Trailer

What are we doing to our children?


Watching the above film trailer brought up a host of emotions for me. A lump formed in my throat and I felt like I was going to cry...

As I listened to the articulate and thoughtful voices of the young people, I saw myself. I was that stressed out, over achieving child. Twenty years ago I was fully engaged in the "race to nowhere".  I believed in the insanity...


Buying into the whole notion that I always had to strive and focus on competition and the future was hugely unhealthy; I didn't eat or sleep properly; I was depressed, stressed and generally lacked in joy...


I really wouldn't recommend it. Thankfully, I made it through the illusion and have chosen to approach things differently with my own kids. 


Recognizing the inherent, foundational flaws in the system we made a choice.


We're forfeiting the race this time around.


 We un-school.


Though unschooling isn't for everyone and it definitely isn't a "perfect" solution,  it allows for the the individuality and the essence of our children to shine and blossom. They are learning to listen to their hearts in a safe, supportive and non-competitive environment...


At the moment, this looks and feels better than what these poor kids are going through....   


Namaste,

Shannon

It touches me in a very deep way. We have countless opportunities to experience beauty, love and joy every day.... We simply need to tune in and allow ourselves to see the magic in the "crumbs".....

GATHERING UP CRUMBS  

Be careful with the crumbs.
Do not overlook them.  
Be careful with the crumbs;
the little chances to love,  
the tiny gestures,
the morsels that feed,
the minims.  
Take care of the crumbs;
a look, a laugh, a smile,  
a teardrop, an open hand.
Take care of the crumbs.
They are food also.  
Do not let them fall.
Gather them.
Cherish them.

I seem to have taken the fall season far too literally... About 3 weeks ago, I "fell" and broke my ankle! EEKS!  I had literally asked for a "break" and I got one. The universe has a wacky sense of humor...LOL :)

 

Like so many people here, I tend toward the " there are no accidents" way of looking at things and, after my initial, "why me?" response, I found myself laughing and feeling grateful for the experience.  Already, my "fall" has  provided me with countless "gifts". The gift of "slowing down". The gift of "letting go". The gift of "self care". The gift of "healing". The gift of "allowing and receiving".

 

 Although I recognize all of these "gifts", I must admit that this experience hasn't  been easy. Healing hurts. And, I have to say that on many levels some of these gifts are things that I have been deeply afraid of doing.

 

What are you afraid of doing? Just for today, rather that letting fear get the best of you,  consider looking it in the eye and doing what you are afraid of. Maybe that means starting a new business or healing a relationship. Perhaps it means taking responsibility for actions or approaching your children in a more open and compassionate manner. Whatever it is, there is no time like the present to just do it. 

 

As a wise philosopher once said,  "Always do the thing you are afraid to do." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson  

 

Wishing you love, courage and boundless blessings on your journey. 

 

Namaste.

Shannon
