Can you hear the ancient creational cycle of death and rebirth calling for you in this spiritually powerful season?
Can you receive the invitation to surrender to the ancient wisdom of nature and its restful womb of winter?
Can you feel the yearnings within you, of wanting to be filled with new life?
The co-creative energies in your life- your partner, career, the Divine- are waiting to be activated by YOUR sacred ingredients of creation: What you truly desire.
Because to create with you, those energies need to feel your desire. And for them to feel your desire, you must feel it first.
For something new to be created by you, there must exist a vacant space yearning to be filled. That space is desire. This is the Universal law of creation.
But maybe- especially this time of year- that space in you is filled with external pressures, demands, overwhelm, and anxiety about whether you can do it all and be it all.
Maybe you are too full of to-dos for everyone and everything else to know what you desire to be filled with- even if you did have space for it.
Beloved, I offer you an alternative, a respite, a sanctuary.
And to go there, you must go down. And go down deep:
Imagine yourself slowing down now, succumbing to the sacred call to deepen into the sacred spaces deep within you, and to descend past the clutter of anxiety and pressure.
Now, generously grant yourself permission for spaciousness. Bring your heartfelt desire for space to the loved ones who need you. Feel your burning need for it in your body so that they can feel it too- that is what they need from you to help you create your desire.
Take the space. Get quiet. Get very comfortable. Light a candle.
Move your focus away from your busy, controlling mind and attune to the sensations of your body- the softness of your clothing on your skin, the scent of your candle, the sounds of the world around you- like the soft, meditative music you may have provided for yourself now.
Receive your breath, and notice that there is no need for you to pull it in once your exhale has created space for it. The breath will easily flow back into you without you even trying.
Resist the world's chaotic pull and allow stillness and spaciousness to draw you deeply into yourself.
Surrender to your sacred descent. Release expectations- even the need to be rescued from the demands of your life. Simply invite emptiness- and do not fear it. Stillness is the home of your soul.
In this space, language dissolves into a soft, primordial tone of nothingness. Go ahead and be nothing. Become the empty vessel for Divine’s sacred designs for you that are in response to your heart's desire. Because the Divine can’t implant its seed in you in a space already crowded.
Be like a bulb in the earth, packed with creative potential, sleeping in a pre-conscious state. Listen to the wordless hymn of your hopes, longing, grief, gratitude, and finally, softy, you will land there- the place of your true desires, those precious, creative ingredients that the life that is meant for you has been waiting for-
that the Divine has been waiting for.
Invite the Divine in to fill every corner of your being with the light of provision and wisdom and love for you.
And let the dark, quiet magic of the season nurture the seeds of your innermost love and truth, preparing you to bloom anew.
