I always wanted to write a candle meditation, so here it is- we did this last night-
Begin to breathe, letting all the racing, all the running, everything that happened in your day, drop away.
Breath becoming slower, quieter.
***
Become aware of one small candle flame burning. All is quiet, all is dark, just the flame burning softly- you can hear it-
The flame is golden, happy, contented to be a light in the darkness.
The darkness is not hostile, it just is. The flame is not afraid. It is safe, and sure of its burning, casting a perfect circle of light around itself.
It shimmers and dances, lifted a little by the breeze-
As you become aware that you are the flame, you also become aware that there are other flames, spreading out in all directions- a matrix of flames, above, below, around, through all.
Now there is another light in the distance- it seems to be coming closer, or you are coming closer to it.
The light is huge, the circle it casts is immense--and now it envelopes you- over you , under you, surrounding you-
You are inside the light, the Light of Ages, the Light of All That Is.
And in the light you feel loved, very loved. You are absorbed into the golden light. And you are safe, very safe- loved and safe in this encompassing love and light.
Be there--expand into the Light- Let Go-open your heart to the light.
***
And now you feel yourself coming back a bit. You feel you are radiating light from a point inside the larger light. Your rays of light expand in all directions-
***
And now the immense light releases you-
And you are completely healed.
Your life is healed.
Your body is healed.
Your heart is healed- one with All- God and Goddess.
***
Coming back further now, into the candle flame burning in this room.
All is calm, all is bright, on this night and all through the ages you have lived.
You are Spirit, filled with Light.
I honor your Spirit on this night- Namaste.

Petlove
Today, I really know what the phrase "suffering the loss of" means. We had to put our beloved pet down to end his suffering. Now we are suffering.
We have lost people, but losing a pet is one of the hardest things, somehow. I see him, or rather don't see him, in every corner of the house and yard. He's not there to greet us in the morning or when we come home.
I wish I could have a re-do, but I am negotiating with myself to accept he is gone and that we did the right thing. It is our responsibility as pet owners to help them at the end, I think. But it is not easy and I don't wish it on anyone.
We were so lucky to experience this love with our pet together as a family for so many years.
Maybe somehow this will make me a better person.
I will try, and I bless him for this chance to turn sorrow into Beauty-
May he be romping with some really fun and loving Pet Angels-
Blessings to all- Lia

After Bliss
One evening after meditation class, I was in a bit of an altered state. We had gone deep for about an hour. I sat with it awhile, writing about it.
Then I got up to make dinner. Later, I thought, "What did you do that for?"
My new mantra, "Dinner can wait when you're in an altered state."
Humans are weird. When gifted with a feeling like that, don't get up and move on- try and stay with it, feel it, BE it, for awhile, anyway.
This is also what I did after merging with the Unified Field- after about 5 minutes or less I got up and went into the house.-WHAT!?
I left it- such a profound sense of being part of everything- Oh, my Goddess, may I be given another chance to experience this again- thank you.
If you are meditating regularly, working on your issues to move toward healing, reading decent books, and taking care of your body, experiences like this can happen.
If you have ever felt " in the zone" doing something you love, perhaps you felt that your highest self was present and in alignment with something larger or other than your everyday self...
You may even feel that something is guiding your life, or that you can open to that guidance more.
It is in our nature, I guess, to move on, but I plan to practice staying a little longer next time.
I am so grateful for this time and the processes I have been shown to give to other people. Thank you, thank you, thank you-
Namaste- Lia

The Unified Field
I hesitated to share this, because it was so personal- but of course, others have had similiar experiences, or maybe everyone has, if they think about it, especially in childhood. Also, it is not easy to convey in words.
We were outside.
It was a quiet day, a Sunday, I think.
You know how some days are like that. There is a pause in the busyness of the world. A quiet that is deeper.
My body was quiet, too. Maybe more quiet than it has ever been, sitting there.
We were sitting on the deck, not speaking.
The wind was coming up through the trees- purple, delicate silver-green, all lit with the sun. The earth was vibrant with Spring.
The moving trees began speaking to me, in waves, like the ocean.
Time dissipated, changed into timelessness.
My body- mind gracefully fell away, opened up.
My molecules danced apart, expanding, entering all around me.
I became part of the unified field.
Bliss, but beyond bliss.
Thank You.

Ready for the summer
Did two of my own blogposts today- "Clearing Sluggish Energy" 2-18-14 and "Clearing Your House" 11-12-13.
They worked! Ready for the summer ( except for the construction).
Went swimming and got into two books.
"Things a Little Bird Told Me" by Biz Stone, co-founder of Twitter is inspiring- a great read- he is hilarious.
"My Wish List" by Gregoire Delacourt translated from the French, is a thought-provoking, poignant short book. Both great summer reading.
Another thing on my agenda is getting rid of things in the house we don't need. The last time I went through this process I caught myself simply moving things from one spot to another.
Whoa! Stop! Throw that stuff out or give it away- that's the only way to create more space in your life (physically and mentally).
I'll let you know how it goes this time.
More meditations coming soon. - Lia
P.S. Just finished "The Memory of Love" by Linda Olsson- what a beautiful book - challenging in a good way-I highly recommend it!

The Car Wash
Recently, I was exposed to a few people who had a particular belief system. While belief systems exist and you can usually take them or leave them, sometimes when a particular group is together, it can be unpleasant.
If you are in a room and you start to feel sick to your stomach, consider there is a reason for this. If you can, get out of there. If you can't, get out as soon as possible and meanwhile become transparent.
When you get home, you might discover some of the energy of the group has sort of stuck to you. In this case, it's time to go to the car wash.
Ground, center and breath.
Imagine powerful fire hoses washing you off on all sides. Start with the front, sides, and then really get the back of your aura. Keep turning around as many times as you need to. The stream of water will knock that sticky gunk off and send it flying.
If you want, direct the water at the stuff that flies off , kind of like a skeet shooter and blast it apart into nothing, watching it fall to the ground to be neutralized.
The force of the water won't hurt you, just rid you of the yucky energy.
Emerge from the other side sparkling clean and radiant, connected once again to your true self.
The only belief system you need is your own, created by your own experience. You are directly connected to Source and that is where you will find your own information. Be wary of cult-like behaviour- it is sticky- so be sure to separate from it after exposure. Blessings to you- Lia

Bodylove
I was thinking the other day how critical we are about our bodies. From adolescence on, we think we are too fat, too thin, not shaped right, etc.
Jeez, we need to give that thinking a break and start loving our bodies. We are so lucky to be in them and experiencing sight, smell, hearing, joy of movement, breathing, sex- all of it.
So try this process-
In the middle of the night, or before sleep, begin with your toes and say- I love my toes, I love my heels, I love my feet, I love my ankles, etc. All the way up, calves, shins, knees, thighs, hips- internal organs ( name them).
I often fall asleep during this but sometimes I make it all the way to my head. You can do this during the day if you are taking a break,too.
Louise Hay is probably the originator of loving your body like this- take a look at her books.
Your body will love the appreciation. I go further and say, I love my bones, I love my muscles, I love my tendons, I love my blood, my skin- alll working so well together.
Women, in particular, are too hard on themselves. Try loving your body as it is now.
And of course, exercise, experiment with your diet, go outside in the fresh air.
I take bits and pieces from exercise programs and fit in the ones I like- a little stretching, some light weight-lifting, other calisthenics- whatever feels good. I memorize a new one, then keep adding until I have my own routine. Always choose what is right for you and your body. I never do anything that hurts or strains too much- too late for that. Be patient and you will start to enjoy it, if you don't put too much pressure on yourself. I modify exercises to fit my skill level. And course, some form of aerobic exercise for your heart- walking is a good way to start and to fill in on those days you don't want an intense workout.
Try visualizing the weight on your scale to be the weight you want- a few pounds less or more. Don't weigh yourself for awhile, then see what happens- worked for me.
After you love every part of your body, breathe some earth energy up through the soles of your feet- if you are standing on the earth, this works even better. Then bring some energy from above through your crown. So, energy up your spine, then down the front of your body, circulating both energies.
To complete, take a look at your aura and fill it with llight, repairing any holes or tears, until it is healthy, elastic and shining- Let that Spirit shine through this wonderful, great bod that is yours.
