Dear blessed Wise Women,
I write to you 26 hours after the closing of our last Friday circle. Shortly after the circle, Dave and I attended a beautiful celebration of life for a friend of Dave’s family. It is always a gift to be able to witness such an occasion. During the celebration, I found myself reflecting on my memories of this sweet lady who touched my life in small but profound ways. Which led me to contemplate the impact I am having on my loved ones and those around me, and the plethora of people who are impacting my life in deep and meaningful ways.
I found myself awash in gratitude for the many meaningful and deeply connected relationships I have, including each of YOU!! I truly love this circle of women! We are weaving a web of connections that we carry far beyond the time and space of Friday mornings.
HELD
“The Mother is waiting to hold you. To support you. To show you the way. To guide your each and every move. But in order for Her to do so, you need to be willing to be held. Like really held. Totally. In full. 100 percent. Held. If you only allow 50 percent that’s how much support you will receive. However unmet you feel by Life, that’s the amount you are resisting being held.
Being held takes courage. It takes faith. For it requires that you allow all control, scheming, and relying on your own strength to dissolve away.”
HEALING WITH THE TAO
“Imagine that you are lying in a dark endless space that is safe, expansive and loving. Imagine it expanding in front of you, behind you, to the right and left, above and below, until it is just you in the centre of endless space. Feel your edges blurring until it is hard to tell where you start and stop and the space begins. Allow yourself to feel held and supported in the space, almost like you are resting on a deep ocean. Become aware of gentle pulses and waves, sometimes quite large, sometimes very small and delicate, that reveal this space has intelligence and aliveness.”
Holding you and feeling held,
xoxo
