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.   

Ease

How often do we resist the natural flow of situations, conversations, etc?  How often do we allow the flow of life to occur? 

There is a fine balance of when we can fluidly influence things to move a certain way - not necessarily "making things happen" as that implies some force which seems to be the opposite of ease. But easing things into place - constantly being that sideline cheerleader guiding ourselves or someone along a healthy path with support of good habits or positive thought structures. 

Ease is 

allowing and basking in the flow

not always getting what we think we want

breathing deeply

accepting life fundamentals

trusting the spiritual nature of things

prayer

light

all things joyous

Wishing you much ease and joy this day, this month, this year, this life. May you walk in Ease into the world of your dreams.  

 

Simply Intending

When it comes to our own self-improvement, we also can be rather meticulous in initiating and following through with the change we wish to implement into our lives. This meticulousness can be influenced by what-ifs, second guessing, and making sure we can plan everything out just so. While there is often value in being detailed, it can be helpful to incorporate a bit of simplicity too. 

To simplify our thoughts, we may start with simplifying our intentions, which can have ripple effects in our moments. We may see less jittery mind chatter, insecurities falling away, and moments where we're sinking into the heartful essence of ourselves and inviting that beautiful essence from others. 

Let's take note of our intentions this week, this day, this moment, and watch the magic unfold.

Achieving our Goals

(Originally appeared in the Sol Angel March Newsletter)

 

By now I hope we have all secured the overarching essence of the year’s theme for our personal development and interests. With this knowledge we can plan steps forward, classes to take, groups to join, conversations to have, all while maintaining a balance from within. If you haven’t already, march on forward towards your goals this year. Take the vacation you always wanted to, or make the time for yourself or your family - whatever it is that feeds your soul. Power yourself up and go do it – and feel how super energized you can become!  

 

Following our hearts’ nudges can be like exercise - there may be some discomfort or even pain as we follow through on our heart’s plans – but when we reach a milestone, we look back with greater understanding and a bit of pride, knowing we’ve made it this far and can evaluate what’s next. Also, like exercise, the more we follow our hearts’ nudges, the easier it becomes.

 

So if you’re already on your path to your goals or re-evaluating them or making new ones, kudos to you and keep moving forward. For those who are still procrastinating, find ways to be accountable so you can be in the forefront of your destiny. Enlist the help of family, friends, or neighbors – or even a professional to assist. We’re all here supporting each other in our life journey.
