Stillness

Gather about you a stillness

Let its vibration be as a garment you wear upon your being;

a fabric woven by the ocean waters and mountain depths,

a timeless space where you can simply be and commune with soul.

Be in stillness

Feel its expansion releasing you into a greater beyond.

Taste of this christened water, this still-pool of acceptance where all is

received and forgiven in the moment that is.

Receive stillness

Be the opening. Make space for calm. For peace. For clarity.

Let the dust settle. The rush dissolve allowing a clean space to breathe.

And be here. Be. Allow this place to be your guide and teacher.

Give stillness

Be vessel of the still-waters. Pour them forth whenever you can,

quenching the parched earth upon which you walk.

Let the thinking mind feel the gentling rain of stillness.

Let the hurt heart release its damned up waters to flow into the healing

expanse of the mother ocean.

Live in stillness

Whenever you can. While you walk. While you work.

While you interact. While you live.

Gather about you the vibration of stillness.

Wear this fabric of energy about you as a garment

and know you are one with the Creator.

I come upon a wave, washing over your mind,

breaking gently within the beating of your heart

I come quietly, in the stillness where miracles are birthed

I am

I am

Feel me in the eye of chaos, the whisper of calm that

weaves a thread of remembering

Feel me

Know we are one

Allow for the breaking of new possibility as in morning light the past is shed and all is new with beginning

In the still pool of the mind, where the depths of true knowledge exist

In the quiet waters of the heart, where compassion moves as a wave

In the calm-being that settles the storm

In the presence where only love can exist

Here can the unveiling begin, the gentle revealing of the garment of truth, slender rays of light filtering through the heaviness of sleep

Here is a moment captured beyond time, given as a jewel in the fabric of your understanding

Here is the contrast that forms the path of return, that holds up a light that the shadows may be seen

Feel the ebb and flow and embrace both as part of you

Feel the rising and falling and know this is the dance you step

And remember the way that cannot be known

As the miracle of awakening guides the beating of your heart

As you sail upon the body of the ocean and live the currents and times of calm, as you navigate your direction by the light of the stars, even as you live in earth, as you surrender just that little into the arms of an infinite beyond …

Let me be the boat that carries you upon the waters; that places a golden sheath between you and the currents, connecting you to your true self.

Let me place signs upon your path; subtle messages come from a deeper intelligence, impulses that pull you toward the shore of self-knowledge.

Let me bathe you in calm when you would rise in anger, harnessing this energy in sails of light. And here may you flow with the breeze of a growing awareness, sensing the conditions anew, navigating a safe passage home.

Let me be …

Let me be in your heart

A gentle energy of light

A whisper of hope amidst the winds of change

Let my hands cradle your feet, lifting you onto higher ground, urging you beyond into the beautiful expanse of reality; offering the gift of the living-moment into the beating of your heart.

Feel me

Feel the presence in the air

Feel the thin veil between the worlds, the possibility to lift or the choice to remain unchanged.

Allow for the awakening, the lifting into being, the waxing and waning that grows the muscle of a whole new physique of possibility.

Know I am with you

Know I am come

Know you are called on the path of return, the path of beginning

Listen, child. Listen to the music of the cosmos. Fall into its notes as you balance your energy. Be held in its infinite care. Come here for soothing, for releasing the load you carry and connecting into the source of your true home.

For the notes of the universe live inside you. Does their sound fill your ears as you listen to the energy behind all outer expression. Learn to be in the depths of an ever-expanding consciousness as you relate to life. Hear the breathing of a tree, the wish of a flower, the heart-beat of the wind, the song of the ocean.

Come and rediscover the familiar around you. Infuse the pattern of your life with new colour as you breathe-out expectation and predicted outcomes. And breathe-in the unknown, the gentle space between worlds that holds the promise of new life within its womb.

Allow the old skin to be shed, a gentle peeling away of that which has crusted over the spirit of the child. And feel the sensation of new air as it touches you as if for the first time, your senses awakening to a new intelligence.

Listen, child. Listen. Hear the music of the cosmos. Hear it deep within in the beating of your heart. Hear it all around in the life-force of nature.

Come spread your wings,

feel the expanse of your being reaching out …

opening… lifting…

Feel your feet upon this earth

and the stars greeting you as your mind expands

Taste the atmosphere,

its fine energy sparkling into your blood,

sending rays of light through your mind,

warming the centre of your heart

And breathe within the presence of this light

The search for who I am

is forever open

forever new

forever a mystery

to be experienced and lived

The experience is now.
Whatever you are doing.
Wherever you are.

It cannot be anywhere else, anyone else.

Only you. Only here. Only now.

Draw in this breath. Into this body.
Let it shape your senses with the caress of spirit
and move with the energy of release.

Taste the change in awareness as you become sensitive to your body,
your hands, the air upon your skin.

Allow this simple, quiet awareness to bring you closer to the sound which emanates from your centre,
from the place where all is still.

suddenly, softly
a little blessing –
a deeper breath

a moment of space
between thoughts

Beauty breathed in

and all was still for a moment

Silence

like a blanket of snow

covered the earth

And all the creatures

and beings listed

… and when she breathed out

a balm of healing washed over all.
