Hello Folks! I’ve been lets just say lately, on the road for a while now in an in between state coming up for air here after months of what had to be one the greatest most challenging times. An awakening has begun and a calm setting in finally allowing me to get back on track and connect with myself in a way I had lost there for a while. For too long my focus went into dealing with what life was throwing at me all at once and I just somehow kept going trying to hold on and accepting what was going on drowning in a kind of numbness the kind that comes from deep sadness of not being understood, purely overwhelmed and many a wall ya can’t get through. Happy to say, there has been healing, clarity and peace coming slowly with time and I have reunited with the most precious and sacred gift of all for me, I’ve been able to crack that dry creative spell of mine and man the day that happened was a kicker! The jewelry making is always there which is a good thing, as it’s a whole different creativity then art making for me.There’s nothing, nothing, like that moment of reconnecting to your core again! Creating is my medicine, my life, my existence, my everything! I wrote in my journal on the most difficult days of all simply this,”Nobody can ever take away from you what you truly own, your creative Soul!” just the mere fact of thinking that thought was all at once monumental to me and with that I began to feel stronger and my new chapter became viewed less of a scary thing and more of a bright wide open new adventure with endless opportunities.
Started to dive into Journal work again!
Found this today on Deepak Chopra’s site: In Egyptian mythology, there is a story that says that when a person dies, the soul travels to a different dimension to undergo a life review. In that timeless, spaceless realm, the god Anubis places the recently deceased’s astral heart on a scale to weigh it against the feather of truth. If the heart is lighter than the feather, then the soul is liberated for eternity. If the heart is heavier than the feather because it is filled with regrets, resentment, and remorse, then the soul is sent back for another lifetime of learning and evolution.
This ancient myth offers a powerful message to lighten up . . . to let go of the emotional burdens that weigh us down, disturb our peace, and make it difficult to be fully present. For many of us, one of the biggest emotional burdens we carry is a lack of forgiveness – for others and for ourselves.
Fortunately, the body mind is incredibly flexible, and when we let go of the emotional toxicity, our body immediately begins to return to homeostasis, which is a state of self-healing and self-regulation. On an emotional level, the benefits of forgiving and releasing the burden of judgment are valuable beyond compare. In forgiving, we free ourselves from attachments to the past and we clear encumbrances that constrict our heart, expanding our ability to love and be loved.
