surrendering

I used to be a closet meditator. Ridiculous thoughts of "what would people think if they knew I meditate?" would block me from sharing the amazing benefits I was receiving. That was a few years and an ego ago. Now I tell everyone! 

YES! I MEDITATE! 

I love my meditation time. I let my friends know how I get to that state of quietness, calmness and happy bliss. I also shared this valuable information with my teen daughters. One of them (my sprightful lovebucket) was turned off to the suggestion. Until she saw me watching the Dr. Oz show with special guest Deepak Chopra, the episode where they were both explaining the health benefits of meditation. It does take a village AND a few celebrity Doctors. 


Once I started to meditate regularly something magical happened, I began "hearing" messages. Here comes the self doubt: Uh oh, back in the closet? Will my family have me committed if I reveal this new information about myself? I only shared this information with a few of my very closest friends. Turns out I'm not crazy - I'm "tuning in" and hearing my own inner voice! Whew. 


Receiving messages makes perfect sense to me now. It has been occurring during my dream state for as long as I can remember. I am extremely intuitive and have been journaling my dreams for over 10 years. It's a gift and one that I am very thankful for. I believe once I acknowledged that this was a gift, I opened up even more. I like to think this makes my Spiritual Support Team very happy :)


Sharing a message from Tuesday, April 26th ~

if the bud never surrendered to the light, it would never blossom into a rose

reveal your light, let it shine 

let your pedals open, let your true essence unfold and blossom

just surrender.
