My heart is open

In Celebration by Melani Marx

Hi there lovely and amazing human,
 
Play with me for a moment?

Take a nice easy breathe into your belly and settle into your Center.
 
Bring your attention to the center of your head, between your ears, or low in your belly…
and quietly, without straining…
drop in and listen for the Song underneath the rush and bustle of third dimensional reality.
 
The Silence that holds a harmonious Song. Perhaps you can feel it singing in your blood and bones. Or vibrating in the air around you. Beating in your heart. Humming under your feet. Tingling in your hands. Pulsing and enlivening your cells.
 
This Song is part of you. It holds the harmonious pattern of all things. 
 
It is a song many humans have forgotten. 
 
It is still alive in you. Even if you cannot in this moment discern it. 
 
Perhaps say aloud to yourself 
 
“I am willing. I am open. I am listening.”
 
Breathe.

Open.

Listen. 

Why am I sharing this with you today of all days?
 
I have been feeling the powerful energies at play, dancing with each and every one of us humans, supporting deep transformative and regenerative movement within our psyches, both personally and collectively. 
 
We are experiencing quite a bit of threshold energy at this time.
 
We are shifting from one paradigm to another. 

One season to the next. 

One cycle flows into another as this Balsamic Moon gives way to a New Moon in a few days. 

Benefic, expansive Jupiter begins a new twelve year cycle today  – as it moves into Aries – the pioneer.

One calendar year comes to a close as we look toward the next.
 
It’s a bit like getting ready to go on an extended trip or move house. As you pack and gather together everything you need, it can be a bit chaotic trying to get all the details on your checklist completed before you walk out the door.
 
What are you taking with you as you cross through the door?
 
What are you leaving behind?
 
What is unfinished?
 
What sings to you and what is flat and lifeless?   
 
A lot of tossing, sorting and rethinking. Some energetic push and pull.
 
This is a bit of what is going on under the surface of our beings. Some of this may be conscious. Much of it may not. 
 
Knowing what is pulling on your awareness just out of reach can help to normalize what is taking place. Because the mind, by its nature  wants to know. 

Holding an intention to connect to and listen for the Song underneath the rush and bustle, the Song that holds the harmony, that connects us to the All. 
 
This can allow us to flow with these threshold energies. To stabilize our movement through them.
 
 To dream within them of a more harmonious, loving world that begins with harmony and love within oneself. 
 
Perhaps take a moment or five during this threshold time to rest in the harmony of Light and Dark. To contemplate that perhaps one is neither better nor more important than the other. To loosen the learned, deep in the cellular memory perceptions within humanity that the Dark is to be avoided. Feared. 
 
The Great Mystery. The Unknown. The All. 
 
It is potent, dancing with infinite possibilities and deeply regenerative. 
 
Like the soil cradling the seed tucked below the surface patiently waiting in the Dark for supportive conditions to sprout and reach toward the Light, fulfilling its purpose. 
 
Dreaming in the Dark accesses aspects of Self unavailable in our waking world. Sweat Lodge. Womb. Deep states of rest. 
 
The tug of the Dark that catches our attention and causes us – sometimes drags us – to drop in and contemplate. To discover our own Light within. Our own guidance. 
 
Both in balance, Dark and Light  dance together. Night and Day. Activity and Rest. The powerful cycles of the Moon that moves the tides and the Waters within us as well.
 
You are part of this Great Mystery. As am I. 

Remembering that neither Light nor Dark dominate. They work in balance, part of a continuum. One always giving way to another. Back and forth. Forth and back. 
 
Like the seasons in Nature as well as in our own precious lives. 

Perhaps in the next day or so take some time to light a single candle in a dark room and listen for the Song.
 
The Song underneath the rush and bustle of third dimensional reality.
 
Perhaps you can feel it singing in your blood and bones. Or vibrating in the air around you. Humming under your feet. Tingling in your hands. Pulsing and enlivening your cells.
 
This Song is part of you. It holds the harmonious pattern of all things. 
 
Although many humans have forgotten this Song… 
 
It is still alive in you, even if you cannot in this moment discern it. 
 
Perhaps say aloud to yourself 
 
“I am willing. I am open. I am listening.”
 
As you sit in the Dark, candle lit – Ask the Light and Dark to dance with you and inform you, teach you, reassure you and remind you…
 
 …of what you already know. 

I am celebrating the Song alive within in each of us. 
 
Sweetest Solstice Blessings, dear one. 

May you move through all the thresholds with ease.

 

May this song sweep you up and remind you of all that you are. 

May it support you in re-membering the Song underneath the rush and bustle.

The Song of harmonious patterns underlying all things. 

The Song within you.      The Song that IS you. 


A few last words…. 
 
Please remember, dear one  – 

To take some time every day….

To sit and breathe deep into your belly. 
 
To sing songs to yourself. 
 
To humm and dance. 
 
To shake and bounce on your toes.
 
To slow down and allow yourself to integrate all that is going on.
 
To do absolutely nothing – if only for five minutes. 
 
To notice the beauty around you.
 
To eat and enjoy delicious foods your body loves. 
 
To come back to your Center as often as you remember.

To tuck yourself sweetly into bed at night.
 
To hold yourself very lovingly, very gently and oh, so very kindly. 
 
To say out loud three times – “I love my Life. I love my body. I love myself.” 
 
To savor the small moments.
 
May every single day bring you the sweetest gifts of Wonder, Magic and Beauty…  

And when you see them may you remember that these are magnificent reflections of your own amazing Self.
