Dear Friends,
I have been reflecting on my last blog writing and what it means, on a deeper level, to create a sacred soul garden. To hold something sacred is to hold it in great respect or reverence. A garden is a place of beauty, creation, and peace. To create a sacred soul garden would be to hold something in reverence while creating beauty and peace and aliveness in your life in regards to an item of desire.
I have realized how often, in wanting a particular thing in my life, I have not embraced the sacredness of the energy between my desire and the object of my desire. To hold something in respect or reverence is to step into a place that creates merely by holding it in this space.
I have also become aware of the importance of allowing the reverence of a desire without attachment. At the same time if we hold this desire in our vision this allows our desire to burst through or something even more powerful from the sacred space of soul. When I have wanted something from a place of anxiety, I was not trusting or being in a place of reverence.
If you are desiring a health condition to be healed, then finding that place inside your being where you feel the sacred energy of the desire and holding it in peaceful reverence can allow this health condition to be actualized. When we push/pull/prod/beg for healing the sacred energy of the health that we desire cannot spring forth into our awareness easily.
To hold a sacred space for creation to enter our life is to create with the divine. Energy is constantly in motion, swirling around waiting for the creator to dip the brush into its color to create the tapestry of the inner soul garden, our desires, just waiting to be discovered.
I have worked with hundreds of people over the years as a nurse and healer. One characteristic that I have observed in those people who obtained their desired outcome with their health was that they often held the energy of trust and allowing of that desired state they wanted. Or they simply did not have an attachment to an outcome which allowed the physical intelligence of their body to move towards health.
There is also the element of divinely inspired action. Knowing when to act and knowing when to sit and contemplate is the key. When we ponder we are still being active but it’s more of a soulful action than a physical one. However, the state of reflection is just as powerful as physical action, if not more so at times. It is in the pondering, reflecting, or meditating in a space of trust and allowing that a bridge is created and creation, our desires, can then emerge on the other side of the bridge.
I know many might say that it is very difficult to sit in sacred reverence while dealing with a painful illness or injury. I know, I’ve been in this situation many times in my life. In these cases, observing the pain, frustration, and suffering, the best you can creates sacred space. Knowing that any physical feeling or emotion is “not you” can allow the pain and suffering to move through you to your desired outcome of feeling good and at peace. By becoming less attached to the pain, the space of sacred reverence, of creation is ignited. The bridge to your desire is built.
I have a very dear friend in her 70’s who has shown me an amazing example with holding sacred space for healing to occur. She has been experiencing some health issues for a few years. During this time, she continues to live her life fully and holds a profound connection with her own soul. My friend skis, hikes, bikes, walks, kayaks, and spends time with friends. If you did not know her, you would never know that she had any health issues. She is beautiful and radiant. In all my years of working with people, I have never known anyone quite like her. The Divine has told her she is to remain on this earth as she has much more to do for humanity. She knows this is her destiny and is allowing her path to unfold beautifully.
My friend listens to her own inner guidance when a particular treatment does not feel good to her or no longer feels right for her own body. She prefers a more holistic approach to healing, however, has chosen the medical approach when she was guided to do so. A couple of physicians were not able to accept her way of healing. They could have learned a great deal from her if they had continued with her on her miraculous path towards healing and whole health. What a wondrous gift to be a part of her journey as she returns to her healthy body once again.
One of the first things that I learned and remembered in nursing school, was the concept of Homeostasis. Homeostasis is the ability of our bodies, and cells, to go towards stability with our health and physical functioning. In order to maintain this stability, our bodies are in a constant state of managing very complex systems. Our bodies have a physical intelligence of their own. This intelligence to me is life force, creation, always moving towards a higher evolved space, if we allow.
Wishing you all the peace that comes from allowing sacred space and reverence in your life. May you allow the incredible physical intelligence that is inside you to find its way to your own level of homeostasis, to stability. And may your soul garden be filled with beautiful moments of health and all things good!
Namaste,
