The Divine Masculine

The last few days as I reflect, something keeps coming to the forefront of my mind.  The Divine Masculine.  I have also been sitting with the beauty of three males in my life who have made such a lasting impact.  Though I know the Divine Masculine is not gender specific, it just so happens, in this case, they happen to BE male.

The first is my amazing son.  From the moment he was born (and before) we have had a bond that is hard to put into words.  From the very beginning, the Love that has radiated from his heart always touched me to my core.  I have to admit when I was younger, I had put up walls around my heart, but he was the one soul who the love in my heart truly over flowed pass the walls I had erected.  We have gone through life supporting each other (yes, that old soul was always present) and knowing we had each others back.  My ex (God rest his soul) sometimes felt excluded from this bond.  As he grew up, I noticed some of the circumstances in his life made him start to also put a few walls up, but never between us.  But now, in this present moment, I see him stepping more and more into his warrior spirit.  He has his own gifts (though he is still in some resistance to them) that I have always encouraged because I was determined he would BE supported in this aspect of his self.

The second is a man I have been friends with for many, many years.  From the beginning there was always a feeling of BEing comfortable in his presence.  Through the many years we have known each other, I have never felt judged by him, he always was there, supporting me in whatever way needed.  I have told him I know we were meant to take this journey together.  I have seen his growth from a DOer, to opening up more into his feelings, opening his heart and learning to just BE.  He is a place of safety for me.

Last, but certainly not least, is my Beloved twin flame.  Since we physically met I always saw the purity in his heart.  He has accelerated my growth in ways I cannot even put into words, showing me the way to Wholeness.  I realize now that his spirit had always been leaving “bread crumbs” for me even before we met physically.   The beauty within (and without) this man takes my breath away.  They say the eyes are the windows to the soul and when I look in his eyes I see eternity.  A vastness that seems endless, there are no words to truly describe it.  He too had many, many walls in place, but each time we connect, I see his continued growth as well.  Even with the walls, they could never hide the Love that he is.  I could feel it, it is sublime.

So for me, these three beautiful souls, representing the Divine Masculine, are to me clear examples of the healing and wholing that is taking place for the Divine Masculine.  Do not doubt that balance is taking place between the masculine and the feminine, inner as well as outer.   Everything is truly in Divine Order.

 

Pain does not have to be a bad four letter word

We have been conditioned to think of feeling pain as a “bad” experience. But the experience of pain, be it physical, emotional, mental or spiritual is a catalyst of becoming One with our self. Pain invites us into dialogue with our self. It opens us up to what the pain is trying to tell us. But we are conditioned to move the pain as soon as possible when it occurs. We have a headache, we take an aspirin, emotional pain, we may take a drink or partake of some type of drug (whether legal or illegal). If we can take a moment to notice where the pain is located, and acknowledge its presence, it will give us greater insight and an opportunity for healing. The first thought is usually “I want this pain to go away” so we do something to numb it. But we are not just numbing the pain, we are in fact numbing our self.

If the underlying cause of the pain is not ultimately dealt with, it will manifest in other ways that will get our attention. Even our descriptions of pain convey something is “wrong”, my heart is broken, I twisted my ankle. Instead of perceiving our heart to be broken, perhaps try to view it as being “broken open”. When something is “broken open” we get to see the very core of it. Instead of a twisted ankle, a shift in perception may be we are feeling unsupported in some way in our life. It’s about perception. I am not saying pain is pleasant, just a sure fire way to capture our attention. I am not advocating we do not seek medical attention if needed, our health and safety should always be our first priority.

So the next time we are experiencing some type of pain, instead of rushing off to “numb it” be still and ask yourself what is this pain trying to show me? When we can begin to do this, we are taking a small step toward true healing.

Healing of inner wounds

It has been a while since I have posted anything, but believe me that time has been well spent.  I have been traveling deeper into my inner core and discovering and bringing to my awareness, some inner wounds I have still been carrying.  With all the inner work I have been doing since I started my spiritual journey, who knew the many layers of oneself yet to be discovered.  I am peeling back the layers of betrayal, abandonment and rejection.  But by becoming aware of these deeper inner wounds, I AM also discovering the deeper meaning of LOVE.  Wow, a lot of crying (or releasing, as I like to refer to it).  But with each layer of release, greater clarity is revealed.  And with greater clarity comes a deeper knowing of Self. 

Rummaging around inside of myself and bringing my inner wounds to light, is giving me the courage to face any perceived obstacles that I may find in my path.  Though I prefer to view them as lessons in this school called Life.  I don’t believe there is a right way or a wrong way as we travel our path, only a field of infinite possibilities.  The more I release my heavy inner burdens (wounds), the more aware I become of these possibilities available to me.  These are exciting times!  Onward and upward!
