WIDEN PERSPECTIVE, DEEPEN FOCUS.
This month, let us use another way of clearing and centering
ourselves.
Take in three cleansing breaths: that is, begin
with breathing out, gently and slowly, as steadily and as long as you can,
and then breathe in slowly.
As you breathe in, say to yourself:
I breathe in the light, breathe out judgment with the first breath
Breathe in the light, breathe out worry with the second breath
Breathe in the light, breathe out the light with the third breath
As we widen perspective, we deepen our focus. This is the theme
for the month.
Ensure
that you are undisturbed for about half an hour. Switch off phones, make an
intention and call on your guides for help in this endeavor. Then, sitting
relaxed, read on.
The traveler dreamt.
In the dream a friend approached.
What a wonderful friend this is; always with me in times of trouble. Whether
it’s a meal to be cooked, a schedule changed, or a storm brewing, the friend
comes through.
Loving thoughts flowed from the
traveler to the friend. Can
you visualize what color they were?
How wonderful the world seemed, with
friends like these.
As the friend came closer, the
traveler could discern an unsmiling visage. Why can’t s/he smile when s/he sees
me? That’s not very friendly. I did no wrong. I helped when I felt it was
required. Why no greeting? Does s/he imagine I did something wrong?
Fear flowed freely, changing the
color of the energy flowing towards the friend. Visualize what color it would be; trust whatever comes to you.
Even closer, the friend did not even
look at the traveler. The face looked angry, impatient, upset. The friend
voiced nothing. Explained nothing. Well! That does it.
Even if s/he is angry, surely s/he can tell me why. We could handle that. This
is what happens when you are too good to a friend. They take advantage of you.
Well, I’ll stop that!
And anger flowed, in all its
colorful glory. What color was that?
Anger colored all the friends with
the same hue. They’re all like that, aren’t they? You can’t really rely on a
friend.
In sleep, the traveler’s body
twitched. The dream became chaotic, heart began to
race as the adrenalin glands started their work of getting the body ready to
face a foe.
And emotions turned to physical
conditions. Something abstract manifesting in the flesh.
And just as dream was disintegrating
to chaos, a light shined through and the traveler felt the words:
I wore rose-colored glasses and the world was colored pink
Wore them dark : how monochromatic
the whole world seemed
Removed the glasses, and
saw colors that made each flower bloom
And the glorious light above and around and within.
We can deepen our
experience of reality by changing the way we look at events
and people. Experience the liberating power of looking at a person you
know from many angles, different viewpoints.
Each week, take one person in your life. Ponder how they see themselves; how each
member of their family looks at them; and how their other friends see them. Say
three sentences about them; each time something
completely different. You can deepen this experience by calling on your guides
or any healing technique you have, as you do it. There are no
right or wrong thoughts here. No bad or good. Honor what comes to you,
and surround it with pink and blue light.
How easy is it to do this exercise? What is difficult about it?
Take the thoughts you have, and visualize them entering your heart and
forehead.
Share what you can. It helps us all connect within and among
ourselves.
