Learning with Ganesh

As I make some bigger changes in my life, buried emotions rise to the surface. I know this is normal. These emotions include feelings I thought I had dealt with already, emotions or situations I know I've not dealt with, and still other emotions and limiting patterns of thought and attachment to things I didn't even know existed within me. 

It's been a bit of a roller coaster ride with the emotional, mental, and spiritual depths and heights that are available to us when we become more vulnerable in change. Of course, it is usually not easy for us, nor is it for those who live with us either. :) 

Regardless, I find that by inviting Ganesh in for assistance and comradery has been an overall uplifting, growth experience for me, although these words seem to fall ever so short. 

In the past I've previously worked with Ganesh on what I would describe as a more superficial level. More recently, I ask Ganesh for assistance in pushing through some emotional and mental muck. When I feel a small hurdle had been surpassed, I then ask for a clear path to my highest good in specific aspects of my life; then, back to pushing through the muck, and then again, back to clearing the path to a best and highest life. 

During that oscillation, which continues still, my heart seems to open just so - perhaps in that vulnerability - to experience Ganesh at a deeper level. I assume this is true for our connection to all deities or guides we work with - our own willingness and ability to connect influences the experiences we have.  

Through these experiences, I feel free. I feel calm. I have an inner knowing that all is ok and will continue to be ok. I'm learning to trust differently, and I'm letting go of old ways of being. 

I am sure many of you reading this may already have a wonderful connection with Ganesh and I may be considered as being late to the game. We all have a few "go to" beings we work with and for me, Ganesh is in the forefront of my world these days for whatever reasons, and I am enjoying his presence. 

So I'm writing this piece to give a shout out and a thank you to Ganesh for sure, and to all our Spiritual Individuals and Teams of Light who support us on our sometimes arduous path of human living.  

May we all be open to the blessings and goodness on their way to us now.   

Restful Inspiration

When do you recall receiving your best inspiration?

In a world full of mass productivity and movement, we can easily be tricked into thinking that only in doing can we gain inspiration. Yet, we find that our mental focus, at times, can hinder true, clear inspiration from coming through.

The reality is that inspiration presents itself in between the activity, when we're "resting" our minds from focused thought, and allowing ourselves a chance to relax a bit and expand our auras. 

Inspiration can come right when we're falling asleep or just as we're waking up. People have been known to gain inspiration on nature walks, in the shower, or when cleaning their homes. So often inspiration pops in when we least expect it, when we're loosely looking for it, or not considering it at all!

Making sure we have sufficient rest and sleep is paramount to encourage consistent inspiration in our lives. 
 
Resting invites inspiration. Resting also gives time for the inspiration to integrate and contemplate how best to express that inspiration. Then we can bask in the joy inspiration cultivates thereby inviting more blissful inspiration in - creating a lovely cycle of contentment and joy. 

Wishing you a brilliant balance of marvelous rest and peaceful inspiration each day!
