I Arise and Receive Again

I sleep in, for the first time in a while...The singing birds and gentle fall breeze kisses me awake...

I make espresso and sit out on my deck, under the canopy provided by mighty oaks, poplars, and evergreens of all sorts, delighting in the moment...

Two weeks ago, I visited a yoga teacher who had been mine for several years. I went at the behest of a dream the previous night. She too, had dreamed of me. There were more incredible details to this dream that miraculously drew us together again...

Three days ago, we reunited again, for a private that was nothing less than a sacred meeting of souls. This gifted angel "saw" what I needed, and provided the needed support and assistance which both my soul and body needed...

Interspersed with her sequencing and strong healing hands that gave me the right adjustments, were gems of wisdom, addressing what she observed, poetically flowing, like manna for my bruised spirit...

"Find your breath! Find her! Say to yourself - 'Let me find You!'
Find your breath - and then sip it - like a delicious cup of tea!
Remember: The rhythm of Spirit and Grace is slower than our own...
You are not drowning - you are surfacing - and giving birth to yourself again. Like a baby that is born and gasps - and asks - 'Can I breathe here, in this world and in this place?' Of course you can!
Know that working deeply and practicing is a love affair with yourself!"

And we did work deeply with Anusara Yoga's Universal Principles of Alignment, that are so therapeutic and conducive to healing. This gifted soul urges me to address the pain in my hip by hugging the pelvic girdle into the mid-line more - and to connect it to the bone...

She gives me precise instructions for working with the loops, spirals, and principles of Anusara that are both nuanced and deep - and result in openings in poses I have not experienced...

I weep all the way home, for the unconditional love and attention received from a fellow Anusara teacher and colleague, and friend as well...I love this Anusara community, for I know that like her, there are legions...

I write back to her:

"Thank you for today.
For holding a space that was both sacred and safe.
For your gentleness and strength.
For your compassion and support.
For your gems of wisdom and divine insight.
For your time!
I am grateful beyond words."

I sit this morning, on my deck, and I feel my eyes moisten once again...

And then, I listen to the Voice of the Divine, expressed through my inner wisdom, cascading forth, like a waterfall, answering every question I have asked myself for days and weeks. And all of a sudden, I see and experience things with greater clarity. There is a Deep Knowing...

I come in and find in my inbox the latest newsletter from the Twelve Insight Journal for today, and it complements aspects of my private yoga session, and the insights I have just received on my deck:

"Your relationship with all...in your world is vibrational first and physical second. You have to recognize this before you will begin to get very much success in creating the things that you want in life.

Yours is meant to be a loving involvement with all the aspects of your world, recognizing the vibrational, higher nature of every person, place and thing. They have all been called together for you by your own vibration, your own inner being. Even the parts of your body have been called together in that manner.

So you see there are no mistakes...The Law of Attraction is infallible. But what to do when you are living in a condition that is undesireable to you?

Well, first you've got to find a way to love that place, because this is where your journey begins...

Find something, anything to appreciate about your present situation and watch it begin to improve. Allow it to be easy, and be easy on yourself, and the power of Divine Grace is going to move everything in response to your gratitude..."

I arise, and I receive, once again, more than I have ever dreamed. I come in, and I write this. I look at the clock. And it reads, 11:11.
