Blindly to Being

lizaaitken

Sometimes it takes a while to be, 

a while to find our shape.

At first we often get life wrong, 

we have to make mistakes.

It’s quite blindly that we carry on,

but we won’t know the way.

Though with trust our sacred ally, 

we will come to be someday.

We’ll never find all the answers, 

but some become more clear.

Working on through all the clues, 

in the time that we are here.

It’s right that we arrive here blind,

so that we can uncover seeing.

Discover our beauty on our own,

while we’re coming into being.

Today

lizaaitken

I had a dream last night that I was given a message that I would die today, it was written in the peal of an orange, but that’s beside the point. 

It was a strange dream, I went from one scene to the next and it was all mixed up as dreams are. I was myself and I was someone else, I looked out of my eyes and watched myself at the same time. I received a parcel full of gifts, letters from people I know and don’t, thanking me for helping them, some of the things I wasn’t aware of doing. There were presents too, a camera, lots of things wrapped up, gifts I didn’t get time to open before waking and an orange telling me today is the day you die. 

My sister was with me in the dream, she walked beside me. She’s staying with me at the moment, she arrived late last night. Now I think this is just the weirdest dream but laying in bed this morning, it made me think, what if it was my last day and how would I spend it.

I sort of wanted to get out of bed and be the nicest version of myself I could be, give my sister a lovely day. I thought in my blurry still half asleep state, it’s a good job I know, I can make sure all my choices are right, I won’t waste time on anything.

Funny how we waste so much time, we waste others time too in not living life to the full. In not saying how we feel, or doing what we say.

I’m not too sensible, I sleep with the phone beside my bed frying my brain, but I picked it up to look at the time and it opened on a ‘new post’ page. I thought I would share my dream, share an opportunity.

Now I hope none of us are going to die today, but wouldn’t it be great if we all made it the day we might, say the things we mean and do those things we say. A day of in case, because for a number of people in the world it will be. 

Take time today to tell people how we feel, say thank you and make that call we always mean to make. Look around as if we are leaving, does the housework really need to be done today.

Imagine leaving the world and thinking why did I waste time, when I had so little of it left. I don’t want to waste time today, not that I think I will die, I know it was just a weird dream, but because any day I might and one day I will!

To Reflect on Life

lizaaitken


Reflecting on life can assist us in seeing and making sense of past events. Sometimes when we look again, things change shape, they are not always how we remember them. To look back is to be able to look forward in a way, because if we are unable to reflect it’s unlikely we can plan effectively. 

Reflection is helpful when we have unanswered questions, are traumatised or blocked by experience, have false memories or maybe carrying baggage we need to let go of.

My lovely blogging friend tells me she likes to just be, that’s fine and good for her because she has probably made sense of herself and doesn’t have any unanswered questions. We would all like to be like her I’m sure, having made sense of the past I can’t think of much else apart from just being. 

Oh hang on what about planning, making sure we are on the right path, doing the right thing and making the most out of life. How will we really know when it’s right to just be!!

Whatever the answer, on reflection, I feel it is probably right, as long as we work from the heart, because everything starts there.

Universal Connection

lizaaitken

There is a part of us that is in constant communication with the universe, nature and all living things. This is the intuitive self, the self that lives within the heart and is connected to everything there is, was and ever will be.

How often do we listen and hear what the world around us is saying, or understand the messages we are being given. How often do we really open ourselves up and listen to what the universe has to say. Everything we will ever need is available, universal knowledge is at our disposal and available to each and every one of us, it’s just waiting for us to take note.

Intuition is just a connection outside of ourself, those thoughts that spring to mind from nowhere, the gut feelings and the knowing, without knowing how. Our intuitive connection, psychic ability, call it what you will comes purely from the heart expanding and connecting with external energies. Every living thing is made up of energy and we can tap into this energy, in fact we do tap into this energy constantly without even realising it.

Those psychics you hear about are no different from us, they have just harnessed an ability available to us all and they do this because they trust. Okay some of them have honed their craft, learnt the tarot cards and other tools of the trade, but it is not a gift  only available to the chosen. We have everything we need to develop these abilities inside of us, all we have to do is listen, go into our hearts and connect.

It’s trust that opens the doorway not anything else and that big ego that is telling us this is not possible is really just fearful that it will be dropped.
