Paradise is a garden, the outside nature we co-create with and the inner private world in which we sit and  listen, re-arrange and  weed, seed and fertilize.  Everyday sacred rituals of finding our ways to blossom our beings into the Wholeness they really already are.  Meditating, contemplating and  the holy task of telling the truth to ourselves when we begin to contract resist or suffer.  Being willing to do whatever it takes to come back “home” to our inner paradise of the simple feeling of well-being.  This is my true work: turning it all into beauty, moment-by-moment, breath-by-breath.  Finding the heart so large it can hold it all and if not welcome, at least allow or receive the moment as it comes before turning in the direction of following our highest inspiration.  We be/do this together and this is how we affect and change the world, the field we are are co-creating together either consciously or unconsciously.  What an honor.

The Heroine’s Journey:  At some time in our lives we are awakened to the call of needing to balance the opposites in ourselves: male/female, do-ing/be-ing and ego/Self.  If we go far enough into the journey, descending into our shadows and depth dimensions, it will  lead to the “Sacred Marriage”–the birth of the divine self, the self of wholeness that awakens to True Nature…

Home is one of the most powerful archetypal symbols for humans.  The physical plane represents, points to and comes from the invisible.  We crave in our lives the outer beauty and harmony that reflects and mirrors the gorgeous inner world inside of us.  Inside of you is a model or blueprint for True Home–the place in which you are a-live and thrive spiritually mentally emotionally and physically.  These spaces and places combined constitute the world in which you live.   The more you can find your way to live in the sanctuary-temple inside of you the greater your ability to render it physical to all the senses.

It’s a circle:  as you desire to find the Natural Sanctuary within, you become very acute to the thoughts, old believes, cultural conditioning and patternings that keep you from experiencing it as a deep healing fountain or well that sources you.  This awareness of what you are choosing consciously or by default that does not allow this continual flow of knowing/intuition/feeling good/ sensing your well-being is a necessary place of reflection in order for you to become not only a conscious creator but to know by-heart the feeling-tone atmosphere-ambiance of your unique vibrational signature–which tends to complete the circle in a physical residence.  Being a circle there is no starting/ending point, so you can create it from the outside and it will touch and ignite the inner–when both environments (the inner and outer) are harmonized and imbued with your love and appreciation, order, simplicity, beauty and joy you literally can experience a heaven (heaven on earth)…

As I started envisioning my ideal life and how I wanted to create it I never factored in money or how it would happen.  I just kept imagining and being one with my inner musings and the outer collages I began creating to mirror them.  I trusted universal principles and the laws of attraction to handle the details and fill in the framework.  I kept following my heart and using the resources at hand to approximate my ideal and worked in my collage journals filling them with book and magazine photos and affirmations which gave so much delight in and of itself…the journey was a private inspired world that I treasured.  I go into detail about this because of the contemporary cultural chant based in lack/fear of realizing your material dreams.  I say pay no attention and never compare yourself to anyone else or use lack of money/education/location as excuses to hold you back.  If you have a dream within your heart it’s purpose is to blossom– and acting on it, trusting it, following it’s lead is how you live into your Myth.

Your dream will be unique to you as you individuate and find who you really are…I always said freedom was most important to me and that I could live in and decorate a teepee or treehouse and be happy.

So wherever you find yourself now is the perfect place to begin this empowered present moment and doing whatever you can in simple ways to love yourself by surrounding yourself with the inner ideal made real…

Have you ever considered that inside of you is a world view unique unto you–which if understood, focused on and allowed to  blossom would constitute your Myth.  Perhaps the most fascinating obsession you can have in life is to recognize, nurture and manifest your Path of Wholeness leading you back home to the Divine.  Inside of you is not only a book but a manuscript waiting to be illuminated with everything pointing to and characteristic of your true Essence.  Following the Ariadne threads of glimpses, tell-tale signs, bread-crumbs of what interests you, makes you very curious, rivets and attracts your attention, calls your gifts and talents to the forefront and evokes your passions and loves are all way-showers and pointers telling you “Yes, you are on your path, watch for doors opening synchronicities and feelings of excitement….now no turning back”.  This is a life worthy of living and what you came here to unfold…

What do you really really want?  After you clarify what your heart’s desire is look deeper into the Essence of what it is you want.  You will find some aspect of Happiness/Wholeness/Freedom/Joy/Love/Bliss/DeepPlay/Beingness.  The short cut to having all you want is to choose your State-of-Being first.  Intend/visualize/lovingly claim it and then give thanks first before it manifests.  Feel it/sense it/assume it/expect it/live from it–know your creation as thought and feeling first which is the basis of the Vibration which leads to its manifestation into form.  This is the pathway to fulfilling your dreams as a Conscious Creator…what you came here to do.
