Poetic PEACE Pilgrimage – Year 3 – Day 83 – 3/8/2016

Named Magnificent March 8 InternationalWomensDayRising

today we rise as a great wave across the cosmos celebrating the divine feminine in her quest for equality, freedom and harmony… coming together in sacred circle drawing down the energy of the new moon, we pause across the planet to gather in peace and be the rising tide singing our soul song… Let’s focus the healing power within our hearts on all of humanity and our beautiful planet.

Unify Heart Meditation

Let’s all hold hands. Let’s gently close our eyes and inhale together, slowing the breath. Bringing our attention to how our bodies are feeling right now in full acceptance of whatever is present. Notice where your body is touching the ground and bring your focus there. Begin feeling the pulsing energy of the Earth beneath us. The heartbeat of Mother Earth. With an inhale, breathe in gratitude and love for all that she gives us. Continuing to breathe, feel your heartbeat, your unique beautiful rhythm. Breathe deeply from your heart as you open to the sensation of love within you. Feel the pulsing energy of this love. Envision and feel this pulsing energy as a light glowing in your heart. Breathing deeply, see and feel this light getting brighter until it fills your whole body and surrounds you. With your next exhale, think of someone you know who is having a difficult time in their life. Imagine that this person is right in front of you. While remaining connected with the love in your own heart, allow yourself to feel empathy for this person’s struggle as you breathe, honoring their journey. See the light in their heart as the same loving light that is within yours. As you offer your love and compassion to this person, feel the light in both of your hearts growing brighter together. Now, with an inhale, focus your attention back to your heart again. Feel the light grow brighter as you allow the love from your heart to nourish any parts of you that have been in pain. Open to feeling compassion for yourself as you breathe the light of your love into the places where you have kept fear, grief, anger, stress, and insecurity. Open to feeling nourished by the love within. Offer yourself acknowledgment and respect for everything you are, how far you have come, and for the incredible beauty and power within you. Take a deep breath and start to feel the woman to your right. This woman has her own struggles, pain, fears, and insecurities. Take a moment to feel empathy and great respect for this powerful woman beside you. While breathing into your heart, feel the power of the love in her heart. See and feel the light within her as it grows brighter, surrounding her. Feel the light within your heart and the light within her heart growing brighter together. Take a moment to feel the woman to your left. This woman has her own struggles, pain, fears, and insecurities. Take a moment to feel empathy and great respect for this powerful woman beside you. While breathing into our own heart, feel the power of the love in her heart. See and feel the light within her as it grows brighter, surrounding her. Feel the light within our heart and the light within her heart growing brighter together. Feel the love and light of every woman in the circle being amplified… Growing brighter… filling the whole room.

Envision in your life and community, women are interacting from a space of harmony, mutual support, celebration, acceptance, and upliftment. Feel in your heart, yourself and every woman feeling secure and happy in who she is and supported by our global sisterhood. Bring this intention to the light in your heart and with a deep breath imagine sending that light into the earth below you, like a seed being planted. Bring your hands to your heart and feel your heartbeat. Take a deep breath and gently open your eyes.

Named Magnificent March 7 moon new in pisces with total soular eclipse

today is one of my favorite moments in the cycle of life when we rest in the in between times moon, the rainbow moon who sings a song of transformation, of transmuting dark, threatening clouds of pain, into rainbow colored arcs of joy… poised at the portal of the pisces new moon, may we all leap as one, letting go to flow with the oceanic imagination in the field of rainbow mystery where only love is real and everything is possible…

Named Magnificent March 6 Heart Breathing+

on this day of rest, i am tao-sing in the waters of peace, chanting peace prayers in one continuous loop… deep peace of the one cosmic wave flowing through us all…

Native American Prayer for Peace

Oh Great Spirit of our
Ancestors, I raise
my pipe to you.
To your messengers the four winds, and
to Mother Earth who provides
for your children.
Give us the wisdom to teach our children
to love, to respect, and to be kind
to each other so that they may grow
with peace of mind
Let us learn to share all good things that
you provide for us on this Earth.

The Prayer of Saint Frances

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred . . . let me sow love
Where there is injury . . . pardon
Where there is doubt . . . faith
Where there is despair . . .hope
Where there is darkness . . . light
where there is sadness . . .joy
O Divine Master,
grant that i may not so much seek
To be consoled . . .as to console
To be understood . . .as to understand,
To be loved . . . as to love
For it is in giving . . .that we receive,
It is in pardoning, that we are pardoned,
It is in dying . . .that we are born to eternal life.

Named Magnificent March 5 ReBirth 9-13-15 010

as we enter the balsamic phase of the moon, the moment in the cycle to let go, i am swimming in the ocean of impermanence with waves of timelessness whispering the same refrain of my daily mantra of letting go, of dying to the old to flow with the new… which brings me to re-membering the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan best known for its policy of Gross National Happiness; in this land of happy people, one of their secrets of joy is contemplating death, the ultimate letting go, five times each day… the quintessential inspiration for seizing the moment, living with all the gusto, savoring…

as we prepare for this pisces new moon, the last new moon of the astrological year, this supermoon and solar eclipse – the first of four eclipses this year – a new door opens to a field of change where we are changed forever…

may we all be patient with impermanence and trust in the cosmic rhythm of timelessness…

Named Magnificent March 3 Loving

on today’s pilgrimage, i begin as an electric wave empowered by beloved’s meeting me in the great silence to come home for cleansing, clean – singing… organically, the rhythm flows into rest cycle with the inner lights dimming as the power pauses and  i dream and breathe in the rhythm of resting waves, the deep peace of a wave as still as death in the moment before the birth of the new…

when i go to write today’s peace, holy synchronicity!, the outer world mirrors the inner, we have lost power… thousandfold thanks for landing me here in the black hole of great silence, in the dancing stillness of great mystery… connected simply to the one power source, beloved, who opens us to the eternal light and reveals the sparkling jewel, the polished star pearl of the sea radiantly resting in the center of the bloom…

may we all breathe in the rhythm of love and breathe out beloved’s harmony again and again…

Named Magnificent March 2 jung-solitude-arctic-northern-lights

so much of the last nine months is a walk in the dark, a sauntering along a path unknown, a leap of faith, a trusting in the transcendent function to step up, especially, during shattering moments to comfort and allow a resting in the gap, in the sacred space of silence, in the stillpoint…

in this field beyond words, beloved appears to those patient waiters ready to be breathed alive, to the hollow reeds open to being conduits of divine flow and it is here, beloved inspires our taking one more step, encourages our sitting tenderly in the moment with our feelings, our ancestral feelings, our descendants’ feelings all merging in the one cosmic ocean of now…

in this solitude, in this divine alchemical flowing temple, the daft (divine alchemical flow team) transmute our shadowlands into gardens of grace… watered by our tears, we blossom like flow-ers opening to the light and revealing the sparkling jewel, the polished star pearl of the sea radiantly resting in the center of the bloom…

here in the black hole of great silence, in the dancing stillness of great mystery, we stand at the portal of a brave new world called to courageously collide with the old and break our one heart wide open giving everything up to receive everything…
