Transformation. A new beginning. It didn't happen overnight, but it feels as if it did. It is as if I have flipped the light switch and connected the circuit to myself. Confidence, security, embracing my femininity, these were all foreign concepts to me just last week.
I don't know exactly what happened to unlock this gift within me, all I know is that it feels amazing. I am dancing freely (I never knew my hips could move like that), I am speaking with confidence in my workshops, and when people tell me I am beautiful I accept the compliment with grace, rather then shying away from it in embarrassment because it feels untrue.
I woke up this morning singing Om Namah Shivaya, a meditation mantra I experienced for the first time this weekend. I had no idea what it meant, but a charge of electricity ran through my body each time I said the words. When I looked it up this morning I found this explanation -
"It means I bow to Shiva. (Shiva) is the name given to consciousness that dwells in all. Shiva is the name of your true identity - your self." - From www.meditationiseasy.com.
Our theme for the weekend at Summer Rhythm Renewal was connection, and we were encouraged to find our edge and push past it. I did both. I connected with many fascinating people, but the most interesting person I connected with was myself. I've met this person in the past, and never felt comfortable around her. Suddenly I see her for what she is - and embrace the beauty, the grace, and the possibility she possesses. I am blessed to have re-connected with her.
About Me
- TreeTalker
- I started flying when I was 17, and I have been flying commercially since 1991. In my 30's I became interested in nutrition, complementary medicine, and spirituality. I discovered Reiki, an ancient Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation, and became a Reiki master. I also began practicing Transformational Reiki, which incorporates the vibration of the shaman's drum and Native American energies into the healing process. This blog is my attempt to combine my two worlds - the analytical, precise, no room for error world of flying, and the creative, flowing, energetic beauty of spirituality. I invite you to research the things I write about for yourself, and draw your own conclusions. Some of the things I've experienced over the last few years I never would have believed if they hadn't happened directly to me. My scientific mind is definitely evolving, and I now accept things that I previously would have thought unusual, to say the least. I welcome you to join me on my journey.
