The Climb

lizaaitken

I’m climbing quite a bit, into the loft, up ladders and onto chairs. I’m dismantling my home, but each time I climb I tell myself I’m moving onto the next chapter, taking the step I’ve needed to take for so long. I am quite literally climbing into my future at the moment, though it’s not in the dusty loft or on the top shelf it’s out there waiting for me.

Big changes are ahead, I’m going to live the life I want and love. I’m going to do what I want, work in what I love and enjoy every moment of it. What’s more I’m going to be so happy that it will be catching.

The last few years have been tough, but needed. I’ve survived and found myself in the process. They say that the biggest changes in our life often come after major upheaval, crisis and everything as we know it breaking down, bloody hell do I believe that!

I feel like I’ve been tested too, I’ve been offered choices and when I’ve taken the wrong one, I’ve soon found out. An easy get out maybe, an opportunity to good to be true, countless job offers that for one reason or another have fallen through. Now I know which direction I’m heading in and I’m not going to be swayed again (please universe, no more tests, I get it!).

I’ve rented a little place along the coast, that’s where it begins but from there I will travel, I can’t not. A lot of my things will go into storage, that’s causing some confusion, there are things I want near me but I’ll get over it.

I had my birth chart done recently, it was an amazing experience. I’ve had it done before but this particular friend is an amazing astrologer. She spends so much time explaining what it all means that it slaps you around the face and becomes part of you, it comes to the surface in a way that is hard to explain, you begin to live it. We did a swap, I helped her with business ideas and social media which she couldn’t get her head around and she did my chart. I love my chart, it shows the potential I was born with and I’m not going to waste it.

I have so many more steps I need to climb but first I better getting on with packing up the past!

Climbing from Confusion

lizaaitken

I’m climbing from confusion,

I’m letting go of any dread.

Life is becoming clear to me,

I’m starting to feel instead.

I crossed over the mountains,

ones I never thought I could.

I’m onto greener pastures now,

left the darkness of the woods.

I’m climbing higher every day,

though I sometimes take a rest.

Look away from doubts I had,

I suppose they were the test.

Now I climb to reach the stars,

as I know they are very near.

And when I hold one in my hand,

I will no longer need to fear.

Daily Prompt – Climbing

Cranky

lizaaitken

I’m a little more than cranky lately,

which only goes to show.

I’m getting near to breaking point,

although nobody knows.

It’s the stupid things I’m doing now,

that might be a subtle clue.

But you don’t notice me falling apart,

because you’re cranky too.

Life is presenting me many obstacles,

that I’m trying hard to sort.

There’s tiny traps everywhere I go,

and I don’t want to get caught.

Crankiness is my only escape now,

as it covers up all my fears.

It’s easier being cranky you see,

than ending up in tears.

Measure of You

lizaaitken

I’m not sure that I could measure,

how much you mean to me.

To try to would be quite incredible,

and truly far too much to see.

It’s wider than all my experience,

it’s much longer than the road.

It’s taller than the greatest tale,

and it won’t open with a code.

The measure of you is impossible,

and just too much for me to say.

As you still keeping on growing,

so much greater every day. 

If you’d measure me against you,

you’ll see that I’m quite small.

There’s not really any comparison,

I wouldn’t be seen at all.

Thought I’d posted this yesterday. I’m in the process of packing to move home and not got my wits about me!

 

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.

My Champion

lizaaitken

My son will always be a champion,

that’s to me if no one else.

He’s absolutely fantastic you see,

but needs belief in himself.

I couldn’t have made one better,

yes alright I did need a dad.

I brought him up all by myself,

and it’s never made me sad.

My son is the greatest champion,

not because he’s related to me.

But because he’s just astounding,

you have to know him to see.

He’s also a fabulous grandson,

an uncle, a cousin and a friend.

He’s just the best man walking,

about who this ditty I’ve penned.

Daily Prompt – Champion

Finding Buddha

lizaaitken

Do you ever ask ‘who am I’ or ‘why am I here, what is my purpose’ or any number of questions that might establish what an earth we are doing here? I know that a lot of people don’t, many are more concerned with the everyday, how much money they have or where they are going on their summer vacation, but it’s a question I’ve always asked, it fascinates me.

I believe the purpose of life is to find ourselves, mature along our spiritual path, find our true selves and that is not the self we create in this body. I believe it is in realising ourselves, our real identity and inner spirit that is our ultimate goal here, to find ourselves in this labyrinth we call life.

We create personalities based on our experience of life, environment, relationships and the things that happen to us along the way. I believe we have travelled many lives and therefore inhabited many different personalities but there is a true self that travels with us, a self separate from the ego, yet often out of reach.

When I ask who am I, it is because I am questioning what I am outside of the ego, outside of life. I’m looking for my spirit, the one that travels through time, space, thought and lifetimes. This body I’m travelling in now is just a vessel, it holds my spirit while I’m here, but that’s all. If I wasn’t in this body I think I would still be here but in a different form, a purer, more knowing form maybe.

I practice past life regression, I’ve been regressed a number of times now and regress others and one thing I have found interesting in all of these regressions I have never found myself knowing who I am. I have never regressed anyone else to a point in their past life where they felt they had the answers. I still hope to find myself somewhere knowing more than I do now but I’m not sure it’s possible. Maybe we keep coming back until we find ourselves and then maybe move on elsewhere, if this is the school of life maybe we move onto university on another astral plane. Some of the personality traits, fears and beliefs come from past life experiences and it’s useful to recognise and understand these to release blocks we might have now.

I have never heard of a regression therapist finding Buddha or anyone else like that, usually we are just normal everyday people, please let me know if you know any better. I was a doctor once, I found myself after on the internet, I looked exactly the same as during my regression and the story was the same yet I didn’t know any more about life. I might have had a fantastic brain when it came to medicine but I didn’t know any more about myself. Those people who think they might have been Cleopatra or Nelson usually just lived in that era and probably never met them, the recollection of the past life is just connected to the time and not the figure.

I also practice future life progression (FLP) but I have only ever wanted to move forward in this actual life, I haven’t wanted to explore lives ahead, not just yet anyway.  I think FLP is a great tool in helping us see our way forward, I think we can bring things back that help us get there quicker and understand the way but for me this life is enough at the moment.  I have witnessed and taken others forward to future lives, one guy described being able to communicate telepathically and travel by thinking he was there, it is fascinating but not for me yet. You see a small part of me believes that if I find myself in the future it will mean I’m still searching for meaning. I’m not suggesting that I think for one moment I will understand all there is here, reach enlightenment and never have to come back but I’m hoping I’ll get closer.

I have moments of awakening, in my dreams, in meditation and on walks through nature but then the ego steps in and says ‘oh no you don’t’! I’m hoping to get there at some point, I’m hoping to get closer to knowing who I am but for now I’m just on the cusp.

On the Cusp

lizaaitken

I’m on the cusp of all that’s good,

I’ve found my way at last.

I now know where I’m heading,  

right now my outlooks vast.

It took a while to get this far,

I made a few wrong turns.

But nothing I did was wasted,

I had lessons I had to learn.

Now I’m on the cusp of my wish,

to live a life that’s worthwhile.

I’m stepping out to forever now,

I believe it will bring a smile.

I can finally see the way ahead,

as I drew the map on my way.

I’m happy it’s all turned out good,

hope it’s the way things stay.

Pause

lizaaitken

I paused a bit, I took time out,

I focussed more on life.

I took a breath, I looked about,

I let go of all my strife.

I opened up, I took a fresh look,

I found it was just there.

I took a pause, I closed the book,

I threw away my cares.

Daily Prompt – Pause

I took the weekend off, I haven’t posted in two days, the longest time for me! I spent some time with myself, I pondered a bit and I found some answers!

I can’t live on being funny!

lizaaitken

If I continue to work here for free,

how on earth will I make money

I’ve a wish to make people happy,

but I can’t live on just being funny.

So how can I make my fortune,

while still remaining true to myself,

I want to work with people you see,

I can’t think of anything else.

But the people that I work with,

they are usually struggling to live,

although they’d like to pay me,

they have not got  a penny to give.

So how will I make my fortune,

if I’m putting other folk before me,

I’m going to have to trust in love,

and hope that I’ll come to see.
