Most young children just shine naturally. As do many young animals, and creatures of all kinds.
I spend a great deal of time outdoors, including my yard, garden, and the creek.
So many nests, and babies of all kinds. Fledglings, newly transformed frogs, small fish, tiny fence lizards, they are all making their way, just learning to fly, feed themselves, adventure out alone.
Tasting things. Finding shade. Finding sun.
I just love their inquisitiveness, their light, and its reminds me of my own.
Shamanism is a form of animism, in that all things have a spirit, a consciousness.
The bubbling of water in a spring. The strong wind. The fig tree. Spiders.
The spirit of the land right under your feet.
You can borrow it's power, walk with it, merge with it.
The same thing with light.
As shamanic practitioners, and healers we become light, we are light.
In that space, we heal ourselves, get to know our vast power, and possibilities.
Seeing another in their divine and sacred light: whole, radiant, vibrant. That observance is the healing.
It is called Transfiguration, and is one of my favorite things to teach, and favorite ways to heal myself, and another.
I had to relearn to shine my light as an adult. While I always had that childlike innocence, my light was too bright for some, and I learned to turn it down. To make them more comfortable.
That can have an energetic cost, I have learned.
Trying to fit in, and be "normal".
I honor that light in you. To shine, unabashedly. With aplomb.
The way baby foxes, and fledgling birds do. They just are.
The way people in love do.
In the law of Attraction, you receive more of how you vibrate.
Not what you think about, or wish for.
How you are vibrating.
I invite you to watch the beings around you who shine, who are living inspiration.
They are walking love letters.
Now, I don't mean spiritual bypassing. Feel all your feelings, let them flow through you, and not get stuck.
Act on things that are unjust. Speak your mind, and your feelings.
Be rage, if it is what is necessary for justice, for peace.
Be an inspiration to others by how you show up in this world.
Have courage, even if it means to leave the crowd, the group, the old friendships if necessary. Sometimes we need to do that, to individuate. Watch the animals to learn about courage.
Be courage. Radiate that.
Please, you are so needed, and your light and inspiration can jumpstart others.
Animals don't think about it. They just are, it is their life force.
There is something we can do (I learned from my psychic studies), instead of trying to change people around you, or heal them, so that you can take your step up. You just vibrate as a spirit, your next step. The one you are growing into. As you take a step up in your courage, your light, or how much you can have, for example, you just walk into the room as that. Vibrating as that. Psychics believe that we see the world through pictures, and communicate with each other all the time through pictures, and sometimes telepathically.
So, show a picture, to the others, just at the edge of your aura (where your protections are, your gold or white light egg, etc). Let that picture show that, "hey, this is great, and you can have this too, if you wish. Jump in, the water is fine".
That invitation, to another is so wonderful, so inspiring, like being a love letter to others.
You don't need to dim your light, lower your havingness*, hide your courage, or your crazy love for yourself, for others, for this incredible planet we love so much.
The qualities of being there ARE the steps to getting there.
The steps to getting there ARE the qualities of being there.
Inspire me!
And, if you feel stuck, or need to give yourself permission to get out of your rut, your fears, or your spiritual bypassing, just watch others who radiate at those things, of love, of courage, of grace. Those who are doing it.
They just are. Lean into it, and feel the freshness on your face. Feel how your body reacts to that sacred invitation, that way of being. That way of showing up, of how you see life. You always get to choose again, every second of every minute of every day.
