The Treasure of Life

Ever wonder how to get more greatness in your life flowing or growing? How to bring more of your authentic self to your connections with others? How to be real, honest in every moment and spontaneous?

It’s quite simple, but can take practice…delve deep. Delve deeper than you’ve already gone and there you will discover your treasure. The treasure you seek, is seeking you. And once you connect, the spark ignites, the abundance starts to flow, and possibilities for you to be truly you are there to cultivate and ultimately share with the world. You’ve heard it before, but I’ll whisper it to you again…

Your treasure is your authenticity….it’s your trustworthy, genuine essence of your heart.

between worlds

I looking through my journal and seeing a post from December 2012....I think this is when my soul was making the choice to deepen my passion and lead me into Kundalini Dance training....


Dec 2, 2012

Today I sit
between worlds
between histories
within myself.

Knowing the truth inside my soul
the song sung in my heart
that nothing can alter
only sparks that ignite
a deeper passion.

Dancing My Heart Awake

Choosing to always listen to my heart has been a challenge. I trust my intuition (when I allow myself listen to it) and feel where it arises in my body (usually my heart), yet don’t always trust that I need to follow through on it or manifest it. In the last few years however, I'm learning to dance my heart awake.

Like starting to become a Kundalini Dance facilitator. I have dreamed of doing this since early 2010, when I first looked at the training online, yet always thought ‘one day’... ‘when the time is right’...then in early 2012 I was presented with an opportunity to do a 7 day retreat in Hawaii. Awesome I thought, I have 7 months to save for that, no problem, and it’s going to be amazing. But it didn’t seem to organize itself and was instead replaced with the same retreat only a ferry ride away from Vancouver. Even more perfect! Yet again, 1 month before the experience, it was again cancelled and I was once again feeling wow, must not be meant to be, but when will it?? So then I start to plan to go to Costa Rica for May 2013, yet also hearing from my weekly KD facilitator that it may not be happening....so there I was again, dreaming and searching in my soul when I could delve into this practice and follow my dream... For some reason I never had, not never allowed myself to see January 2013 in Australia in my minds eye....now fast forward time and space after my heart finally pushed my mind out of the way and within a few days I had registered for the program, booked my flights and was on my way to Australia within 3 weeks! Everything just fell into place as I let myself and my heart be drawn to what it loves.

For me, Kundalini Dance is an experience where I am soulfully dancing...dancing the pureness of my soul. Feeling myself as energy, as emotion, as authentic expression. Feeling completely myself, where there is no judgement, no expectations and no self imposed constraints. When I dance I feel whole, in union with myself, with the earth, with Great Spirit. Letting Shakti earth energy ignite and rise up my central channel, up to my heart center where I can divinely express and be in my essence, then up to Shiva pure sky source where unity and oneness transmutes anything that is no longer serving me. Then comes the divine downpour in which Shiva and Shakti marry and merge in my body to create complete ecstasy, like a thousand rainbow bubbles are floating through my body, like a million fireflies are igniting joy with every beat of its wings. Like an infinite amount of love-atoms are vibrating pure bliss.

That is why I dance...for those blissful moments. For the ecstacy.

To merge and marry the divine feminine with the divine masculine in which my body can feel, heal, pray, release, experience and transform.

Dancing my heart awake has been a process of evolution, of patient listening, of breath by breath embodiment. Each day is an opportunity to practice heart-centered listening. To feel my heart push or pull, to feel it open up or contract. My body has a wisdom that is so in-tune and expressive that I can learn an infinite amount of clarity from it...I can release its medicine so I can continue to transform, heal and embrace myself in each moment more fully.

Dancing my heart awake has introduced me to myself.

Solstice 12:21:12

As I reflect on this day, December 21, 2012 I am filled with peace, love and fulfillment.

I have allowed myself the time to sit with my heart, feel my soul and to reflect on my past year... it has been an inspiring journey of self love, self trust and self awareness.

I invite you to take a moment to sit within yourself...take some time to light a candle, reflect on who you were 1 year ago and who you are today. Allow yourself to acknowledge at least 21 accomplishments (no matter how small) and feel gratitude for the learning and experience that has brought you to this point.

Take 3 full breaths into your heart and as you go forward into this new paradigm, remember this and really feel them deep within your heart:
 


We are all connected.
Each person on earth is woven together and in relationship with each animal, plant, river and mountain top.
We Are One.
Our energies mix and mingle everyday.

Think about it... we are connected to other people as we pass them in the street, see a face on the television, think about travelling to a another country. We are connected to nature when we see a bird in the sky, or a spider in the house or when we pick sage in the field or hold a flower in our hand...it all holds a vibration for experience. Ask yourself what do they all have to teach us? What is it that we are consciously or subconsciously learning from them? What is it that we need to remember in our hearts, or deep within our soul?

That is the biggest experience that I have gained this year an to thank I feel so thankful... to know that anytime I want, I can find connection, wisdom and experience when I open my heart and let the energy of someone or something else mingle and alchemize.

If I listen, a particular feeling or piece of knowledge will rise up and I feel a connection.  A oneness.  A strand within the greater web, a star within the cosmos.



Take a moment to feel the wisdom of the last animal you saw, or what your surroundings are telling you. Hear what the breeze is whispering, feel what the bird is illuminating in your soul. If we are open, we can hear the wisdom of everything around us.


Today, I honour the Solstice’s teachings of appreciating the darkness yet always trying to find more light. Of a longing for and connection with the earth. Of choosing to feel more love and less hate, more peace over pain and more gentle communication over frustration.

Take 3 more breaths. Stay within your heart and feel it's beat as it brings you ‘home’.
As they’ve always said, home IS where the heart is.

Wishing you a magnificent and magical solstice.
