'Be The Change You Want To See...'
We approached our beach where our two ‘boys’ seem to live… I had a plan of a loop today, and then we saw the dogs!
‘We’ll ignore’ them Anadi said – I remembered we had tried this before…
We made our way across the beach and they saw us… They greeted us with great delight, and any ignoring from us was totally ignored by them!
Excitedly they ran around us, and then followed us off the beach, and up the hill to the land of the Cactus…
They were tireless and it became quickly evident that my loop had to be abandoned, and a new route planned… One that entailed ‘dropping our dogs off’ back on the beach…
We didn’t mind at all; we love them now! Even though adopting two dogs was not in our plan, they have adopted us and so it is!
Today we travelled slowly… We made our outing a sort of a ‘workshop’!
We decided to explore the traps that we can live within, the ones that hold us in their grip and prevent the fun; the subtle traps that we may not be fully aware of, because we have become used to living this way; we even believe the orientation ‘is us’….
This is an abundant universe, an amazing world we live in; and yet so many souls stay trapped in thoughts of lack, of not good enough, of not measuring up… To name but a few!
We might read the words… ‘Be the change you want to see in the world’; but they often end up just that, words that are read; rather than deeply understood and acted upon…
We reached the top of the world again, the promontory with the waves crashing below us on three sides… ‘Will the dogs be safe’ I said to Anadi… ‘They know this land better than we do’ he said… ‘And anyway, it seems today that they are taking us for a walk…’
We stood in the sun, the sound of the waves and the wind drowning any words; instead we stood in silent appreciation of the beauty… I felt immersed; and I experienced and felt my energy; I felt the absolute truth, that we are love; that we are the change…
We change the world by changing ourselves; by clearing all that limits us from within our being… The next steps then open of themselves…
We made our way back to the rocky road and explored a new path, whilst Anadi and I explored our own lives…
Anadi has shed a belief that held him back. He lived for awhile within an orientation that he would make his millions and THEN head off and be free; instead he cleared what was holding him back at a deeper level; and since it cleared, he has headed off to live the life he always dreamed of anyway…!
I have been held over the years by the grip of pressure, which I have explored in previous blogs; but this was fueled by ‘not measuring up’… What a limiting factor to fun that was!!!
It meant that however hard I worked; however well I did, this would be there, subtle, limiting; ultimately exhausting…. ‘Could/should do better…’
True freedom comes from within; freedom from all of these limiting energies and beliefs that hold us back from being free.
And with freedom comes love; with true love comes freedom - and in perfect love there is no fear; and where there is no fear there is freedom…
I know now, that I do not want to run unless I am free; unless my running is an expression of love, freedom and joy; unless the hours of work, the hours of running are fun, I do not want to do it… So I make them fun now!
And because I have always wanted to run, it became my barometer; a place where any limit to the fun, any limit to abundance, to joy, to the energy of freedom and all that comes with that; revealed itself…
For the whole of my life, I have helped others to heal and to find happiness, freedom; health on all levels… to be themselves and to let go of their limitations…
We are limitless beings and this is an abundant universe; and if our motivation is to help those who are finding life difficult, or challenging, or they are living in lack; our help is less powerful if we are mirroring that in any way…
I have always known that if I am to be a healing force in the life of another; the most important thing is that I free myself!
Helping others comes from first helping ourselves; otherwise our ‘help’ may come from a distorted energy which limits its effectiveness…
Healer heal thyself…
And so we looped our way around our beautiful island in the sun; our dogs racing beside us…
After a couple of hours of joyous exploring , we dropped them back off on the beach and made our way home to Gros Islet….
