Scuba Diving Into An Expanding Sea Of Consciousness

As we dive into deeper waters, things can get murky. Many of you are familiar with the Dark Night of the Soul experiences.

Yet paradoxically, here we are in the throes of an enlightening Spring Eclipse season.

It’s Pisces time of year, the last sign of the Western Zodiac.

Also, Mercury in Retrograde happens today, February 26th and will remain there till March 20th, the first day of Spring in the Northern Hemishphere.

In the meantime, a Full Worm Moon Lunar Eclipse on March 3rd will further amplify meditative, and expansive soul traveling opportunities.

Remember that Full Moons during Eclipses are like regular Full Moons on steroids.

Of course the spiritual path and the energies we encounter on it are not all unicorns, sunshine and rainbows, so to speak.

Dark forces are coming out of hiding big time, rising to the surface, and asking for further examination.

But if Eclipses can be looked upon as light sources that shine on shadowy caverns, they do give us the eyes to see what has not yet appeared to have risen to our awareness.

Deeper spiritual wisdom emphasizes experiential learning through metaphorical scuba diving into the depths of our subconsciousness to bring back Sacred Medicines that can support us in living more consciously.

When we do this, it’s hard not to become inspired to use these Energy Medicines during our day to day interactions with ourselves and each other. For some, it’s the other way around.

When we honor that the most important person that we should pay mindful attention to is ourselves, we are always led back to a personal place of power.

In this spaciousness, we can discover meaningful and lasting changes that come from the inside out.

Vibrations are happening at different levels.

Do they exist whether humans see them or not?

Waves are vibrations of light that make up everything. These waves move at different speeds. Like seasons, these speeds can change.

If only we can harmonize with, surf and ride these energetic waves of light during our everyday interactions with one another.

Do you remember the old story of the tortoise and the hare? Check out the short read aloud version at the clip below to jog your memory, if you’ll pardon the pun:

Looking back on this classic story, the message reawakens the convergence between science and spirituality. Everything is made up of energy.

Sometimes we vibrate slow and sometimes we vibrate quick.

Energy is energy. It’s what we do with it that counts.

Be careful of getting seduced into a sense of urgency to run the hurry up offense on the spiritual path.

Our greatest power is being present in the here and now.

In this eternal moment, may we allow presence to unfold as it is with radical acceptance, a felt sense of empathic compassion, and radiate a heartfelt loving kindness from within, and then outward expansion toward others in our collective orbit.

We are all interconnected with each other, and we all have a role to play in co-creating A New Earth together.

May all Beings be free of suffering and experience Inner Peace,

Ari

Keeping Our Souls on the Ground While Treking along Summer Solstice Trailways

It can be challenging to speak your own truth and let go of it . . .

Maybe you hold a more politically liberal way of looking at the world,
but someone close to you tends to have a more conservative viewpoint

Some people are concrete thinkers and tend to embody rigidity,
while others tend to have minds more like parachutes

Without one, there’s no anchor
Without the other, there’s no setting sail

How do you make friends with these tension of opposites?

It’s when we get identified with our positions where we get into trouble . . .
Otherwise, we sometimes have to agree to disagree

Besides, if you feel charged to convince someone else to buy into your position,
then it might be a good idea to reflect on what’s behind that impulse

The seductive pacifier of fascist kind of thinking, is that it
promises the illusion that a fixed idea can become a savior

But there’s nothing more devilish than an immoveable mountain of fixed mind

Do we build up walls with regards to personal and geopolitical boundaries?
Or do we relax barriers, and become more open and fluid?

Given the rising intensities of Summer’s astrological eclipse season,
wrestling with these tension of opposites are becoming more intense

But shaking up our comfort zones, and habituated mind
are healthy ingredients for making forward progress in spirit and on ground

Maybe you can appreciate going with the flow –
But do you really want to push the river to unleash the secret of your success?

There is such a proliferation of programmed habituated thought forms making it
damn near impossible to opt out of worshiping the opinions of others!

It is healthy to be mindful of and sensitive to their frequencies . . .

But not at the expense of thwarting you into
relaxing into your own evolving vibration!

Self doubt is powerful bait of a status quo version of yourself –
perhaps you’ve been hooked by the lure of the better the devil you know

Be mindful of those stories that peddle the kind of personal beliefs
that sells you packages of your own fears!

On this time of Summer Solstice . . .

Let the rays of Grandfather Sun shine His divine light
onto your soul, illuminating the silhouette of your higher self!

Imagine yourself in the sunlight of possibilities of yourself
that you might not otherwise have envisioned

Drink in the fruits of the forthcoming Full Strawberry Full Moon to help you
see clearly that you have the fire of the sun in your being . . .

Use this beacon of light to torch your motivation to rise up to the Higher Self
that you are becoming the change you want to see in the world!

Till the next trailhead,

Ari
