Spiritual Awakening – A Time to Rest
Note to Self ~Remember today, that those quiet times when nothing seems to be happening, are amazing gifts from the Universe allowing me to rest in preparation for the miracles that are about to unfold~
Spiritual Awakening comes when I listen to an age old message! The past few days have been very hot with temperatures hovering around the 38 to 40 degrees; so hot that you could even smell and taste the dust that hung in the air. For these few days everything seemed to be at a stand still with not a breeze to shift the hot dry air. Those who tried to brave the heat and go about life as normal, very quickly realised that this was not such a great idea! I discovered during my early morning walk, that even all in nature had taken time out to rest; the song of birds was gentler, the leaves on the trees hung still and quiet, the clouds had disappeared, and the creek couldn’t even muster a tiny trickle.
Then last night, everything began to change … you could feel the excited anticipation of all in nature! The thunder rumbled in the distance, flashes of lightning flooded the horizon with a brilliant display, and then one tiny drop of rain fell from the sky to herald the arrival of another miracle from Mother Nature. The clouds had quietly gathered under the cover of night, and then unleashed their precious cargo upon the land below. The music of the rain filled the air, and the whole of nature rejoiced and danced a magical dance of joy! And, even before I reached the creek this morning, I could hear it’s playful laughter as it splashed over the rocks and sped down stream…. and I smiled at yet another wonderful message from Nature Spirits.
Message from Nature Spirit:
Frustration is a very negative emotion felt by many here on this planet Earth … and often! Frustrated that things are not moving forward quickly enough, frustrated that you don’t know the next step, frustrated with yourself for not achieving, frustrated with those around you, and frustrated with the circumstances of your life. Does nature feel frustration? No it doesn’t! All of nature understands that there are times to sow and times to reap … and there are times to rest!
These are the times that miracles are forming and taking shape in the unseen universal energy that constantly surrounds you and flows through you … when you are free of negative emotions and filled with peace, love and joy. All you need to do is understand this Truth, take time out, and rest in a peacefulness that comes from truly trusting the process of co-creation. Today, accept the gift of rest and enjoy these wonderful moments, because an amazing miracle is forming just for you, and you will need all your strength to enjoy it to the full. You are never sure of the ‘when’, but just around the corner is the time when your stream of magical happenings will begin to flow with abundance …You are so loved!
Spiritual Growth – On the Wings of a Dragonfly
Today’s Note to Self ~Remember today, that when I let go of my old perceptions of not being ‘good enough’ … I will fly with lightning speed and grace into the light of my dreams~
Spiritual growth through observing the flight of the dragonfly? Yesterday morning, after dropping Bill at work, I decided to visit Ruffey Lake Park rather than walk along my beautiful Diamond Creek. When I arrived, I set the intention of capturing a picture… and a movie, of a dragonfly in flight. So off I set towards the lake knowing and trusting that there would be a dragonfly awaiting my arrival… and it was! WooHoo!!! I just love to watch dragonflies as they zip with such speed from one place to another, and see their paper thin wings glisten with such magical colours when captured by the sun’s rays. I often secretly wish I could, for a few moments, climb aboard that tiny body and take a ride across the waters and into the mystical world of this amazing little insect. (Have a feeling I would be paying for lots of extra baggage!!! LOL) Having discussed with this little dragonfly what I was trying to achieve, it kindly, and patiently, flew back and forth as I captured a picture and a movie… and then I listened intently to its message.
Message from Nature Spirit:
Ask yourself this question, and then answer truthfully … Do I see myself as the unique magnificent spiritual being that I am, or do I see myself as not being able to accomplish my secret desires because I don’t consider myself good enough or worthy enough? This is a huge problem with so many souls living here on planet earth! Instead of accepting and trusting your Truth, you go about constantly putting yourself down, and with each negative thought and doubt regarding your ability to achieve, your self esteem drops lower and lower as you attract more and more of the same.
Well, it is time you let go of these old worn out perceptions and beliefs. You are a tiny drop of Source energy who has come to this planet with a uniqueness that not one other living soul can claim! How amazing is that? It is your personality, your physical body, your smile, your hug, your gift and your vibration that can change this planet into a more wonderful place to live and to create miracles each and every moment. Today is the day to throw out all the old perceptions of yourself and fly with enormous speed into the light of your dreams. You have been created for greatness! You have gossamer wings, so please let them fly and shine!

Spiritual Growth – Release and Let Go
Today’s Note to Self: ~Remember today, to be aware of those times when I need to shed what is no longer needed from my life, so my true self can shine brighter~
It seems to me that every tree I looked at on my walk this morning was shedding its bark, and giving me the very best lesson in Spiritual Growth. Great long strips falling limply on the ground or caught on the branches as it let go of its hold on the tree. Each tree now seemed to stand a little taller, and it was with so much pride that it shone its sparkling clean trunk to the world.
Message from Nature Spirit:
Aged trees if they could talk, what stories they would tell of how the wind helps mold their trunks, of the rain that trickles messages of the future upon their weathered leaves, and then falls to the ground to feed their roots and help them grow, and the sun that shines from behind the clouds and calls so softly, please come towards the light; and the trees respond by stretching higher and higher into the sky.
The calm, still days which give time for them to breathe life into brand new seasons; each year marked forever in time with a band of growth within their trunks.
The shedding of the past is an annual event as the old strips of bark break free and fall to the ground, leaving a clean smooth trunk on display to the world.
Letting go of the past to make way for the new is quite often a very difficult task and yet a critical part of your spiritual growth and freedom. Holding on to the past just keeps you in the past and does not allow you to grow into your full potential. Trees help you to see and understand more fully that it is an effortless task to let go of the past and focus on today’s possibilities. Ask yourself today … what bark do I need to shed?

Spiritual Awakening – Climbing the Wall of Fear
Note to Self ~Remember today, that I have within me the strength and courage to climb the wall of fear, and step into the world of my dreams~
It was one of those days when I knew what had to be done, but I was stalling, by finding every excuse under the sun for not taking the action I needed to take! You know what I mean… the washing had to be done, phone calls to be made, the garden needed watering, checking that I had the ingredients for the evening’s meal… and on and on I went!!! Well, the next thing I knew, I was heading out with shopping bag in hand to get those few extras that we so desperately needed for dinner! Along the way, my eyes were drawn to this retaining wall that seemed to have spotlights shining on it from all directions, and with loud speakers calling my name and shouting a message… you can do it; you have the courage and the strength within you, so climb the wall as fast as you can and get over it!
Message from Nature Spirit:
Fear is an extremely negative emotion which can not only stop you in your tracks, but can also bury you in the muddy rubble of life. It makes you feel completely stuck as if you can’t move either forwards or backwards! But, I am here to tell you, that in this Universe, there is no such thing as sitting still or being stuck in the one place, as everything is constantly moving in one direction or the other… it is the Law! So, if you are not moving through the fear, you are moving backwards into greater negativity. I am also here to tell you, that within you lies enormous courage and strength to achieve your greatness, and the very best news is that you have a co-creation partner who is longing to assist you in every way possible … but you must take that first step towards your desire! Come on, we know you can do it, and there are thousands here in Spirit cheering you on. You are amazing!

Spiritual Awakening – And the Dance Goes On
Note to Self ~Remember today, to dance to the magical rhythm of life that is in all things, and feel the joy in its heartbeat~
Spiritual awareness grows as we embrace the rhythm and vibration that flows through everything in life that we see, hear, taste, touch and smell… the magical rhythm of life.
The air so still, so silent
The glass topped lake reflects the magnificence of earth’s beauty
The trees breathe out their magical breath
The air is cleansed once more
And the dance goes on….and on
Interspaces filled with this magic breath
The life we scarcely know or understand
Moving and shifting in vibrant patterns
Expressing
And the dance goes on…and on
The rocks so still, so silent
Yet unseen to those, whose eyes
Have not the understanding of the ripples of life that lie within
And the dance goes on… and on
Be still my friend, be still
Feel the rhythm, feel the movement
The beauty of the dance
For this is the dance of life
To be treasured, felt, embraced
Dance on my friend, dance on
For days may come and go
Hours may quickly pass
But this is the dance of eternity
The dance felt in the depths of our soul
Beyond the mind
Beyond all expectation
The dance of creation
Dance on my friend, dance on!

Spiritual Awakening – Outer Glow
Today’s Note to Self ~Remember today, that my outer glow is a reflection of my inner most thoughts and feelings~
Spiritual growth comes in unique and wonderful ways! As I stepped out this morning, I asked Spirit to find for me a picture which represented ‘focus on the inner rather than the outer’… which happens to be my focus for today. Well, I certainly didn’t expect to be taking a photo such as this!!! LOL I was looking for these amazing shots to inspire myself and others, and there it was right in front of me on the pathway. I just love the way the messages come in such simple forms … but with such amazingly powerful messages.
Message from Nature Spirits:
What is happening in your life is always a reflection of what you are feeling on the inside; your thoughts and, more importantly, your emotions, are the creators of your reality. It is these thoughts and emotions that vibrate out to the world around you and draw back to you more of the same. The trick is to become consciously aware of what you are thinking in any given moment. When negative thoughts or feelings arise, ask yourself where they may be coming from, then simply let them go and bring your focus back to something that makes you smile. In this way, you will instantly change what you are attracting to you from negative to positive … and you know that you deserve all the wonderful things that this Universe is just wanting to deliver right to your door!
