<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>My gratitude is great today. I know that when I choose to "stretch" beyond what has been comfortable or familiar, I may encounter internal barriers; barriers that keep me connected to what is familiar and common. It is during these moments when I can do my part only, surrender these difficulty and ask for Divine intervention. It is such great comfort for me to know that I am not alone in my spiritual journeying. </i></span><br />

<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> Attending to our own Sacredness within is an essential step in living an authentic life of service and contribution. I think most of us want to have a positive impact in the world. Those of us on the journey of spiritual and emotional intelligence seek ways to heal ourselves and then offer healing to others. Most of our religious traditions, even though we may not participate actively today, had a focus on giving to others. Growing up catholic certainly attests to this. As a child, I recall our learning about those who were hungry and experiencing injustice and our responsibility to attend to them. My own family modeled outreach on a regular basis to those who needed assistance in our own community. </span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> With this upbringing, there was also a insinuation that focusing too much on ourselves was, well...selfish and wrong. As a young girl our religious teachings and stories were about focusing on others, feeding the hungry and clothing the poor. </span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> Today I appreciate the learning I received around these teachings. After all, there are poor among us and having instilled within me a care and compassion for others is honorable. <i>Today, I also believe that we must honor our own sacredness and care for ourselves above all us and from this fulness within, we give abundantly to others.</i> It's still risky for me to say this, however, since some still think this is selfish behavior. </span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> While it's not a complete departure from the teachings of my religious upbringing, it is a slight departure and a substantial addition. I believe to truly attend to the needs of another and be of service in a profound capacity, I must attend first to my own physical and spiritual well-being. <i>In doing so, I learn to give from spiritual and emotional maturity, completeness that honors my own authentic relationship with the Divine.</i> When honor the sacredness of self first, my motives are clear. My giving doesn't come out of duress or fear of reprisal but of conscious choice and desire to serve. </span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">When we honor our own sacredness and give to others from this fullness within, we honor the sacredness of others and the difference we make is most profound. <i><b>To love self is a courageous act of service for all. </b></i></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Blessings on your journey. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I know that an intention to serve others connects me to Divine flow and opens doors to experience synchronistic events. When I follow this flow and see these synchronistic events as part of the guidance to serve, I am able to accomplish what I set out to accomplish. Unfortunately, unhealthy ego, old messages and life's challenges can get in the way. My mind can steer me away from my heart and soul's intuitive direction and I get sidetracked.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When we heal ourselves and do the personal work that clears out our wounded history, teaches us to confront our own addictive patterns and opens us to a spiritual connection, we become free and ready to serve. In service we find our Divine purpose, but first we must allow ourselves to heal and find empowerment through our pain. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The discipline of the spiritual life is difficult. There are ups and downs and the journey is not even, smooth and always direct. If we do not give up on ourselves and continue to surrender what we confront along the way, especially our own internalized shame and fear, a way will be shown. Faith during these times will help. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Today my intention is to be of service to others and to love myself boldly and unabashedly as I navigate this journey. I give to myself the kind and generous parenting and guidance also the path that I have always longed to receive. In my unconditional love and support of me, I come home to myself and I find my way.</span><br />

I know that to truly manifest the desires of my heart, I must be disciplined - like a warrior - to release what no longer serves me and embrace direction that comes through my own meditation practice and connection with Spirit. It's not a magical happening, it is mature woman, being willing to give up her own fantasies of how things should look or be in order to change (which is the greatest fear for most of us) my life to honor Divine whispers. Comfort is over rated, but many of us choose what is familiar because of our addiction to comfort, rather than honoring the guidance within that comes to assist us in the right use of our souls.</span></span></div>

<div style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Having experienced loss at an early age set me up for a strong spirit connection, especially with those that have transitioned from our physical world. I remember as a first grader in Catholic school asking Sister Leonice during religion class if I would see my father when I died and went to heaven. <i>"Would he be waiting for me?"</i> I said. </span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">She paused before she answered, probably moved by a six year old's earnestness and asked us all to close our eyes. </span><span style="color: #274e13; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">"<i>Even though you can't see me, you know I'm here right?" </i>she asked. We all, I presumed, silently nodded. It wasn't really a direct answer to my question, but I judge it was the best she could do with just a moment's notice. </span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My father suddenly died when I was only 15 months old. There was a huge emotional void in my large Italian family. Within two months of his sudden passing, my mother's oldest sister and mother also died. Coming from a big extended family in a small midwestern town meant that I saw aunts, uncles and cousins on a daily basis. I felt the spirit of those relatives that died everywhere and people often spoke of my father and grandparents to me. We visited the cemetery weekly during the summer and early fall and there was a baseball field memorial in my dad's name. </span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><i>No wonder I am a mystic, so connected to spiritual things, open to souls that have transitioned from this physical world and one who seeks guidance from metaphysical resources every single day.</i></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I'm playing a game with my father these days. Keep in mind my relationship with him is <i>purely transcendent</i>. The root of the word transcendent means <b>'crossing over'</b> and so I am crossing over to his world and he is crossing back over to mine. I have appealed to him to assist me and mentor me in some business projects. It's the least he can do given he's been physically unavailable for over 51 years. He says he will help me, but there are some things I must do as well.</span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This is going to be interesting. Since I've made public this daughterly demand on my deceased father, I'm going to be accountable to the results. So far, he has asked me to come to him daily in prayer and meditation and ask him for guidance. He was a very successful businessman, except for the dying suddenly without financial provisions for my </span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">mother. She'll have to work that out with him herself.<i><b> My unresolved issues with my father include missing out on the sense of security and protection that a fatherly, masculine energy provides, experiencing ongoing encouragement and mentoring in sports, finances and whatever I decide to accomplish and being given confidence to achieve whatever I desire having a strong, loving daddy present who has my back.</b></i> I'm claiming these inalienable rights, as a daughter, now.</span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So, I'll keep you all informed, for those few who may be interested. Mostly my writing in a chronicling for myself. </span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Here is a quote from BLESSINGS FROM MARY that affirms this interesting journey and a picture of me at just a year old three months before my dad died;</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: windowtext; font-family: Arial;">July 18<sup>th</sup></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: windowtext; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 11pt;">Surrendering our frailties opens us to Divine power and wisdom.</span><u><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></u></div>
<div align="right" class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: right;">
<span style="color: windowtext; font-family: Arial; font-size: 9pt;">Wisdom of Mary
Magdalene<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="right" class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px;">There is a balance between what I can do and what I must surrender for Divine intervention and healing. In my spiritual practice, I learn to keep my emotional, physical, relational, financial and spiritual life full of integrity and harmony. I do my part. I take responsibility for these areas of my life.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px;">There are some aspects of each of these realms, however, where it is necessary to ask for help and recognize that the outcome is out of my control. During these moments of discernment, I seek spiritual guidance and support. If I have done my part and adjusted my behavior, then often times a spiritual solution is called for and, I, in my humility and wisdom, seek it. This often occurs for me when I am personally challenged with a behavior in my relationship with myself or another that I simply cannot seem to change on my own. <i><b>Knowing some wounds/shadows run deep or accepting there are karmic energies beyond my understanding and control has been necessary</b></i>. I seek a Power greater than myself in these times.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px;">Today a friend called for support. She and I have had a close and challenging, at times, relationship. As I listened to the situation for which she was troubled, I recognized a pattern that I have seen in her life, relationships and even in our friendship emerge again. When she asked for my feedback and perspective in the situation, I gave it to her straight. I told her from my perspective she was "running away" again from a difficult situation because she was scared and her justification for doing so is that the other persons involved are bad and wrong. So many gifts emerged from this situation for me.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px;">First of all, <b><i>asking for help and knowing we need a community of support is essential to living an honest, fulfilling life.</i></b> My friend's reaching out for help gives me the courage to do the same when times call for it. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px;">Secondly, we cannot see the deep patterns and shadows of our own wounds on our own. We need one another to help. <i><b>To ask for feedback from someone who knows us well and be open to hear an honest assessment is a testament of courage and self-love in action</b></i>. My friend has inspired me to remember that I need other people, too, and my commitment to spiritual and emotional maturity is stronger than my ego need to be right or "look good" on the outside. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px;">Lastly, these deep shadows and patterns of survival that we carry within us are reenacted in our lives and relationships with others. Not only do we need people in our lives that love us with all these shadows in tact, but also we must have a spiritual connection that we can seek assistance from and release these pattern to in the hopes of healing. While sometimes Spirit speaks to us through those that love and know us intimately, the real miracle comes from <i><b>surrender to this Higher Power and allowing transformation within so that we can change the survival patterns and live the live we deeply desire. </b></i></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px;">Asking for help, receiving honest feedback and seeking Spiritual intervention are foundations for living a full and spiritual centered life. How wonderful that we have the choice to create this in our lives and to live authentically. </span></span></div>Sallyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05635694922043903640noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3308164801137836226.post-47724198493924068202012-06-11T07:42:00.000-07:002012-06-11T07:42:14.760-07:00Tension~Mary Magdalene~Sacred Feminine~Soul's work<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #351c75; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i> To celebrate struggle seems a paradox in my understanding of the spiritual journey. I also realize that understanding the spiritual journey isn't always possible. At times, there is simply <b>surrender to the journey of my soul's work.</b> In seeking a deeper understanding of what it means to celebrate, however, I see <b>the origin of the word means "to honor" </b>and this makes some sense to me. When I experience myself struggling or frustrated in my life, not sure the direction to take or how to move forward, holding this energy with care and honor may be the exact action to take. I can hold myself, my life's work and my spiritual journey with honor and celebrate that there is a power greater than myself, perhaps many angels and saints, that celebrate and honor my journey as well. The journey is joyful and sometimes tense-filled but I know that I am not alone in celebrating it.</i></span></div>

<span style="color: windowtext; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt;">We
want, like you, to see those we love fly free and fly high, but often, this is
not the path of life. The spiritual life gives room to the soul to do its work,
to learn its lessons, to find meaning in the mistakes and struggles. The
struggles and challenges provide tension to discover the deepness of one’s
calling, purpose and desire. The tension and struggle of the soul’s work is the
place the soul meets the Divine and finds meaning and wisdom for service. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: windowtext; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt;">Celebrate
this challenge. Celebrate the soul’s wounded work and healing time. Celebrate
each struggle known on this spiritual path. Transformation begins in struggle
and happens in birth. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #351c75;"><span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 11pt;">Spiritual leadership has all that you want it to contain and
all that you resist in your life.</span><u><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></u></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #351c75;">“Leadership is
about service. The foundation of sacred and holy leadership springs forth from
the intention of service and love. <span style="letter-spacing: -0.2pt;">Service
and love mean surrendering our wounded egos. We can then hold these wounded places with great care and kindness. </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #351c75;">Leadership requires
great humility; knowing we need the Divine for guidance and knowing we are
called. It is our unique way to service. Leadership also calls us to bold and
often unpopular action. Leadership requires us to speak what we see when no one
else is willing and to take the risk of mirroring what no one else will mirror
for the good of the greater community.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #351c75;">Leadership requires
falling at the feet of the Divine Spirit and proudly receiving the blessings of
mercy and the courage to go forth. Leadership has all that you want it to contain
and all that you resist in your life."</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: windowtext; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 11pt;">Tension always precedes transformation and birth. Trust the
tension.</span><u><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></u></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: windowtext; font-family: Arial; font-size: 9pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 9pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is a message that I needed and wanted to hear. There are places of tension of in my life today; both emotionally and spiritually. I want clear answers and directions NOW and try as I might for force an outcome, the tension remains. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 9pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 9pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In reviewing the original meaning of the word "tension" I learned that it comes from the Latin to <i><b>"stretch."</b></i> I have a dream that I have been nurturing for a couple of years now. When I detach from my own struggle around it, I can see how <b>Spirit is stretching me spiritually and emotionally</b>. <i>I am being called to trust, surrender, release, receive and trust, surrender and release some more. </i></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 9pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 9pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">While there is an outcome that I imagine, I am not sure of the exact direction and actions to take to manifest it all. The one thing that continues to hold me afloat is my own prayer and meditation practice. Daily I pray, meditate, breathe deeply, sometimes throw a temper tantrum, beg or demand; but eventually I come to surrender and survive another day. Recently I've heard an old saying, <b><i>"When Spirit closes a door, a window will open but the hallway can be hell." </i></b></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 9pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 9pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>To this I can relate. </i>The hallway can be dark, smelly and never-ending as well.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 9pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 9pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sacred Feminine energy and voice reminds me that <i><b>"tension always precedes transformation"</b></i> and this provides me comfort. I remember imaging my beautiful daughter and how excited I was to meet her during a very long and arduous birthing experience. I can rely on that experience to remind me that it was well worth the waiting. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 9pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 9pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As women and men, we give birth in many ways to numerous projects, relationships, events, dreams and ways of being. Breathing deeply, doing what we can in the moment and trusting the process helps. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 9pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>

We must first acknowledge our attachment to what is familiar, even when <i>what is familiar </i>in our beliefs no longer serves our highest good. In this ownership, we then have the ability to release and let go; welcoming beliefs that serve our highest good and provide us the energy to share our gifts and contributions with others. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;mso-pagination:none"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:windowtext"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;mso-pagination:none"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:windowtext">April 7<sup>th</sup></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center;mso-pagination:none"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Papyrus; color:windowtext">A sense of lack is a lack of faith.

This, too, is how you stay in lack. It is a lack of self-forgiveness, and a lack of belief in Divine plan. As imperfect as you are and have been on your journey, remember that your heart has been given over to Divine Source. We know this. Therefore, you shall claim Divine order and timing in all things.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;mso-pagination:none"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:windowtext">Believe now in the abundant flow of all energies.

I am aware of the necessity for daily prayer and meditation so this is a regular practice for me. Interestingly, I found myself unable to relax and then in the middle of this meditation time, I got up and started to walk away. When I realized I was moving from my place, I stopped. I noticed that I was walking away from what was coming through my spirit as I sat still. Here is what my guides were saying to me. They were telling me that I am called to honor the vibration of spirit inside of myself. That I must share this vibration and wisdom for those who wish to receive it and I must let go of trying to "convince" those who do not wish to receive this wisdom. </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" align="right" style="text-align: left;"><span style=" ;font-family:Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:100%;color:#330099;"> Loving myself and honoring this passionate, life-giving vibration is my first priority.

Letting go of our own attachments to people, places and things. In place of the letting go comes a direct connection to Spiritual guidance and the synchronistic events that point us in the direction of manifesting a Divine, Spirit-filled life of abundance. We have a responsibility, as spiritual seekers, to receive this guidance and high vibrational energy.
