Well Being and Your Authentic Voice
In Corrogue I feel wonderful. As friends know I love singing. I am presently singing, "I've got a wonderful feeling everything's going my way." Actually this song sings me. If I were not writing I would be dancing and singing. This is one of the great blessings of well being. It is the blessing of drinking from the well of being. In Ireland we love our wells. We are still deeply connected to the elemental relationship of water and wells. We intuitively know that wells and well being are connected. All over this enchanted land are thousands of wells that are still revered as places of healing. These wells are still used. I see people on occasion, not far from this "place of the briars,"circumambulating the ancient well at Tuber. This is despite the fact that this well is empty. People come to this well to find well being for themselves and others. They often remain silent. It is a time of reflection and a time of humility. Often life seems out of control. Often their well of being has run dry. Our being is our essence. It wishes to be the play of the world. It is a wonderful feeling. It is free flowing and Divine. You have to honour it. You have to return to the source. This is the source that is life and not simply "your life." Being and well being is known in the silence of the heart. Much experience of non well being is emotionally and spiritually based. As Carl Jung the eminent Swiss psychologist remarked, "I have rarely met with a patient over the age of thirty five years whose problem is not one that is related to their spirituality." Well being is a deep connection between our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual energies. We connect to these energies by listening. We connect by listening to that still inner voice of the heart. This is in order to hear the song you alone have come to sing. If you do not sing this song you will not feel at ease. You will enter dis-ease. We are afraid of this inner voice. It may ask us to change. It might tell us things we know about ourselves that no one would ever want to know. It might remind us that once we had dreams. We might have dreamed of visiting other places, writing a book, learning to dance, take up a task that everyone else told us was irrational. Your inner voice is irrational. It is the holy part of you. In that sense it is whole. The word "rational" comes from the word "ratio," meaning "part." Your inner voice is like the frog in the well. It sets on the edge of the well of being asking that it be taken home. It wants to be appreciated. It wants you to kiss it. When you appreciate it you transform it. It becomes the beauty it always was. Authorise your own voice. Drink of the sound of your own song. You will raise your body's vibrational rate. You will become more refined and you will begin to feel fine. You will be singing "good vibrations." Maybe you to can go skipping down the lane singing "I've got a wonderful feeling everything's going my way." You get to play in the musical of your own life. You get to sing and dance the celebration you have come here to be. Life is love. It is the ocean of love expressing moment to moment. This ocean of love is what we know as well being. Come to this well. Speak your truth and sing your song. Drink deeply of this well of love that is in essence who you are. Blessings upon you and those you love and those you do not love.

Basic Tarot for Beginners If you would like to learn to read tarot cards, but have no idea who to ask to teach you or how to go about it, the following tips should help you get started on your path to telling fortunes just like a pro! The Terminus of Existence Setting boundaries is a common expression that we hear almost daily. We hear of our need to set personal boundaries; an invisible dividing line drawn between ourselves and others, a line that represents the point where public space ends and our own private space begins, so to speak. Drifting Like a Summer Breeze He knew it was going to happen. He wasn't really surprised.Yeah, if he had to be honest with himself, it hit him kind of hard because he had been with them for so long. But to be honest, they never really showed any real interest in him or his work. Why Jesus? There are many contradictions in life and none more easily seen than when contrasting how God teaches us to live by His Word, the Bible, and how we are taught in the world, the school of hard knocks. Alone in a World Filled With Only Me We come into this world alone, we experience physical life alone and we die alone. Anam Cara - Discovering Your Being The more that "little me" allows surrender the more is done. What is done is "good." This, I know, seems a value judgement. It might be better to say that "what is done is joy." No resistance. No getting in the way. No concern for results. Simply trusting what will be will be. This free flow of feeling energy is the experience of joy. How A Grudge Can Affect You As we go through life we all have to deal with feelings of anger, resentment or bitterness when people hurt us. Can you think of someone who has hurt you so badly that you are finding it really hard to let go of the pain or grudge? Choosing Peace, One Shift at a Time It doesn't matter what magazine or newspaper you pick up these days, there it is! the evidence of violence; the killing of innocent people, the terror of aggression and destruction. How do we, as caring, compassionate, conscious people maintain our inner peace in the face of war? Is it responsible to turn from the glaring headlines, close our eyes, go within to connect with that place of inner peace? What if those headlines have stirred up our visceral fear reactions and we are disturbed and angry? When outer circumstances create worry, helplessness and judgment how do we shift our inner attention so that we send peaceful thoughts, rather than more anger and hatred? Do People See Visions Anymore? Unless God has changed the way he does things it would seem that he has kept the lines open to men and women as usual. Should there be any doubt let me tell you a true story of a sequence of events in my own life. No one had more trouble believing these events than me; in fact I wouldn't tell even my closest friends for over a year. Now I think so very differently. Complicated is Born of a Simple Thought (Channelled) Dowsing ? Using Divining Rods To Obtain Answers To Your Questions Divining Rods, also known as Dowsing Rods, have been used since ancient times by water witchers, shamans, and wise-ones. Although the information obtained while using these tools seems to come from an obscure and esoteric source, in reality they simply measure energy patterns that occur naturally. The Healing Power Of Forgiveness Forgiveness breaks all bounds of repression and depression. It liberates the psyche from bondage to the past. Kundalini and Enlightenment We all hear of the concept of the "Enlightened Master", and I do believe they exist. What to Expect From the Next Transformation â??Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of the party.â?? This line is a typing exercise, but it holds a bundle of truth for mankind. By Their Fruits Ye Shall Know Them Military personnel at a U.S. prison in Guantanamo, Bay, Cuba allegedly desecrated the Quran (Koran) by flushing its pages into a toilet. The news has sparked media interest in the states, and outrage in the Muslim world, especially in the Middle East. Anyone following world news has probably seen a number of articles reporting on the Middle East riots that have occurred as a result. The Quran is the name of the Muslim holy book, and is the guide to the Islam religion. The Dark Side of Spirituality On reading Susan Cato's Time Magazine Canada piece titled, "In Search of the Spiritual," I became increasingly annoyed at the realization that many people keep making the erroneous split between religion and spirituality, when they are one and the same. For example, in the Time Canada piece, Rabbi Leigh Lerner, who leads the Temple Emanu-El?Beth Sholom, a Reform congregation in Montreal, states, "Religiosity may not be increasing, but spirituality is," confirming the notion that 'spirituality is separate and preferable to religion.' Gentle Whispers Today we do not experience great manifestations of God as Moses did many years ago. God has not spoken to us out of a burning bush and neither have we heard His voice as He walked in the cool of the day in the Garden of Eden. We have not looked up over our place of worship and seen the Shekinah glory of God in a visible way. But God does reach into our hearts and into our life and speak to us through gentle whispers. Fulfillment A feeling of fulfillment is something we all seek. Here I would like to address this in a way that many of you already know at some level but which I feel is necessary to highlight. I Saw An Angel At Work Sometimes you have to see something to believe it. Like angels. Unfortunately, angels are adept at not being seen, yet many people believe in them. Love vs. Fear - Volume 18 Breaking with tradition, today's article comes from the 9-23-04 edition of Sojomail. Sojomail is produced by Sojourners; an evangelical journal, and calls itself a 'weekly email-zine of spirituality, politics and culture.' I personally object to their use of the term spirituality, because they are decidedly Christian oriented. For them to replace the word 'spirituality' with the word 'Christianity' would be a lot more accurate. I do feel that the good people at Sojourners do have very wonderful intentions. I just wish they didn't feel the need to route all their efforts through Christianity, to the exclusion of billions of the earth's inhabitants. |
