Balancing The Scales.

Going around WP in my catch ups I was interested in seeing how many times the word Balance was used, It inspired the topic for the this post.

Some WP friends are learning how to balance their lives with illness, while others are balancing their work and home life with their blogging world.

Sometimes its a juggling act, as we try to pull everything together, its no wonder at times we trip up and loose our balance and can feel overwhelmed.

I am sure we have all had that feeling being ‘out of balance’ when we are out of sync with life and instinctively know that if we do not get back on track,the scales will tip either one way or the other.. I have been there more than once.. We get to feel those warning signs, as our emotions well up and the small things in life seem to expand into huge mountains that were once only mole hills..

Achieving balance requires that you assess what is important to you, each of us need to determine where  we are on those scales,. as we juggle our pieces of our life’s puzzle to make sense of where we are. Our modern day life styles can often push us to our limits as we walk our life’s path.    

Every day we make choices, which affectively bring the different aspects of our being together to form the person that we are today.  You know when you are in Balance, for all flows and seems to slot into place..

 Only You can determine what balance means to you..

To me.. I am at last balancing what is most important to me.. I am starting to see that in order to feel in balance, I need to to stop stepping on each side of the scales, trying to bring others into balance…The only scales I can control is the one I stand on.. my own centre..

For one who is empathic, it can be hard to detach, as we see the injustices in our world, but then am I not being judgmental in my own assessment upon my half of the scales.. For to experience this life at all, we need the opposites in order for there to be any middle ground..

Is life not showing us at this present moment the opposites as we see the the neglect, the suffering, the horrors. Is life then not giving us the opportunity to balance the scales, so we can show more compassion and care as we learn to share and give, instead of taking and greed. 

Can we bring back the Balance?

It maybe up to us to shift the balance of the scales, as we each find our own equilibrium. I hope as we each learn to stand in our centres,  that we also help to bring the world back into balance, For I truly believe the world often mirrors our internal turmoil’s.. 

Have you found yourself balancing life’s scales recently? And How have you found your centre?

Love and Blessings

Patience………

My Orchid started to flower.

We have been busy over the last couple of days planting out our veggies.. And all those flowers seed trays you saw, are now nice little plants, I think I must have planted around 60 or more plants this afternoon, the other half will hopefully be in tomorrow..

I loved logging back here on Dreamwalker’s this evening  to see so many comments waiting to be answered.. I appreciate and love all of your visits, and thank all of you who take the time to leave me your Drum Beats..   And hope you will have patience with me if I have not yet visited your blog to those who have taken the time to comment.. 

Here its a Bank Holiday  Long weekend… And I am so tired, I have run out of steam 🙂  I have not even turned on the Computer the last couple of days.. So I am chilling out over the next couple of days..

Above is a Orchid that lay dormant for a year after flowering.. I thought it wouldn’t flower again..

 This one is for you Maria.. I said I would get around to posting eventually!

Orchid 1 flower

Patience paid off.. I allowed it to feel neglected for a while then watered it and moved to a warmer sunnier position where it started to bloom..

Amazing when we give something our love and attention how it responds.. 🙂

Orchid 2 flowers

Be good to each other.. 

See you Soon..

A Different Perspective

Depending upon where we are standing in our lives we each of us are looking out from our own vantage point on life. I was looking out of my window the other day at the blossoms on the shrubs and admiring them. I was watching the blackbird gather worms from the lawn to fly back into the bushes to feed his young, when I thought what life from their perspective view point would be like. As they fly backwards and forwards across our garden.

I was in the allotments planting Peas yesterday and Swedes seeds, and unearthed many beetles and spiders as I disturbed their homes.. What a traumatic upheaval for them as their world was destroyed by my digging. And how indifferent we can seem about their plight!

Seeing the world from another perspective, whether spiritually or mentally, can introduce you to all sorts of hidden treasures. How we react to Insects is an example, as we often hold the fear our parents passed down to us, (and how many more views we hold onto which is passed down  via our upbringing) that is why I try to teach my now 4 yr old Granddaughter not to fear spiders, insects and caterpillars.. And teach her everything has a right to Life, that we are all of us part of a huge chain that interlinks with one another.

 

Spiders may seem to some fearsome, ugly, and frightening, And yet they manage to weave something so beautiful we could never hope to create, and there is nothing more beautiful than catching a spiders web in the morning light full of dew

There may be at times experiences in life that from your vantage point may seem worrying, confusing and terrifying, we have all been there at some point. Or there may be events that look insignificant from where you are standing right now.

Whatever perspective we view our world from; it’s often good practice to see another’s point of view. Humankind is most often presented as a story about struggle, control, and survival, instead of one of trust and collaboration with the universe. So we grow up believing we must compete instead of co-operate

There are plenty of things that we cannot control, no matter how hard we try. But we can live by our values, which allow us to become a positive source of inspiration for others.

We may not be able to help those in far off places whose lives are a struggle, with conflict and war, or who are adrift in the ocean seeking refuge from the traumas of their own countries, But by simply being yourself, you can help the people in your life see how one person can make a difference by being a living example of consciousness. And we do that by recognizing and acknowledging the inherent value in everyone you encounter. Be it a Human or Insect.. Sometimes, the easiest way to encourage people – even challenging ones – to respect others is to respect them first.

The interconnectedness of all living beings using concrete, everyday examples. Many people are unaware of how their actions affect the world and are intrigued when they learn of the power they hold.

We each of us have that POWER, and we can do that by our own actions and intentions.. We do it by embracing the Positive, encouraging Peace and Tolerance and not allowing ourselves to get caught within the traps being set by Fear..

It’s The Little Things That Count.

 

A little visitor came by today,

to share some food that came his way

He crept up high

As I crept low

As I willed him to turn and say Hello

My Camera clicked and he was gone

But his belly was full as his eyes now shone..

So I turned my lens down to the ground

To see what fairies might have found

How Nature never ceases to amaze

If one take time to lower their gaze.

And open one’s eyes to the ‘Little Things’

That makes a difference, what pleasure it brings.

We first need our hearts to open wide

To discover that the secrets lie inside

And once open for the world to see

You now get the perspective of the Bee

And so in life its the ‘Little Things’

Which mean the most, what joy they bring

Its the smile and greeting, a caring thought

A helping hand when things get fraught

It matters not the money in your purse

For you can’t take it with you in your hearse

But the deeds you have done

And the memories you have made

And the Love shared

Is All that is craved.

So plant well all the Little Things in Life

For they are most cherished

Enjoy

Be Nice!

Have a beautiful weekend all of you

Blessings

Sue

Awakening to Consciousness

 

 

 

How do we wake up to this Consciousness?  Sometimes it’s as simple as being yourself, you can help the people in your life see how one person can make a difference by being a living example of consciousness, by embracing life without reservation. With Love and kindness.

When you communicate your views, You don’t have to be dogmatic. Allow the people to speak and allow them to ask questions. Respect their views..

We can all Ignite a spark of consciousness in others by ‘giving’.. It maybe a book, a medicine bag, or a beautiful crystal, that can get curiosity going, and prompt them to begin an exploration of the soul. I would always be handing my Spiritual books out to read.. I even sent one to Australia to help a Young woman I connected to via blog land some years ago..

Learning others how to meditate or chant or even Drum!, can put them on the path to consciousness while reducing their stress levels.

I started out exploring by joining a Meditation group and ended up running my own development group into Spiritual Awareness.. You will be amazed how many join once you reach out and who are eager to learn.

Learn to acknowledge the value in everyone you encounter, you can teach them how to value others. Sometimes, the easiest way to encourage people – even challenging ones – to respect others is to respect them first.

Casually point out how everything is interconnected and that all living beings affect the world around them by their actions.. They may become intrigued when they learn of the power they hold.

Introduce your loved ones to conscious living in a light-hearted way. Meditate, Get in touch with nature, perhaps grow your own Food, and show them how wonderful it can feel to be truly aware and connected to the universe.

And Smile…………..

Love and Blessings.

Change is in our Hands

This past year here on WordPress has seen a community of people from all across the world from so many varied backgrounds unite together…

I know all of you who visit here share similar thoughts.. We all wish for a more Peaceful World, whereby we can stop destroying the very planet that gives us breath and stop destroying each other. 

I truly believe by our unity of thoughts, our vision of a future which will eventually herald in a time of Co-operation, Peace and Sufficiency for All.

But like all New Beginnings there is a time when we have to let go of the old.. Many are now seeing the Old ways of being are no longer working and so we are all of us seeking a New Direction in our lives.. 

As we move towards another year ending  I see on the horizon many interesting developments, I sense them within my Being.  2014 started off Chaotic and it looks just as chaotic as it ends, but everything has purpose.

YOU need to Believe in your Dreams!.

And not get caught up in the Fear which is as rife as the epidemics being spoken about.   

We are witnessing a clearings around the world, We saw it in the financial collapses, the revelations about corruption, the revolts of dictatorships, the clearing out of those that do not align to the highest good will start and happen.. The cleansing is also reflected within our weather systems as we see the sky cry her tears of rain and snow.

The frequencies of our planet are altering, they will always change, such is evolution and how we evolve.  So as they do they are bringing forth more honesty, and openness, as we awaken spiritually again. We are learning anew how to work together in Unity.  This is not an easy time.. But we have to remember we came here to be part of this change and awakening process as we evolve and progress within this Paradime Shift in Consciousness 

It’s not going to be the over night success story, no we are seeing the birthing pains as I have mentioned here before on my Post Do You Choose Love Over Fear?  I wrote this in June of Last Year. 

Where I wrote Quote:

“Giving Birth is not without pain, and our new earth is only now going through her own birthing pains. .. We see it in the spasms of conflict, the wars, Hunger, poverty, displacement of refugees and the destruction through pollution of Mother nature.  Pains which are now being experienced which we humans have carried with us over many life times which emerge as we have built up Fear and Prejudices.”

When we give birth, we have many contractions, each one getting more and more stronger.. So too we will see as we move through the coming years events which on the surface to many may seem to many of us chaotic, disturbing, and which may impact upon ALL our lives.. But we chose to be here at this time of Change..

WE are the Change this Earth has been waiting for… and to read more of my thoughts on this I wrote back in 2011 Embracing Changes

With our thoughts, and our intentions of creating a more peaceful and eco-friendly world we will need to see the clearing away of the old as her water breaks.. ( Floods) 

The post that illustrates this best for your reading is a post I did in 2008  Called Gaia-The Earth Changes Here I share some channelled writing I had given me from 2006 from those realms who inspire us from Spirit to set us upon our path as they awaken us to the reasons why we came to Earth again.. A quote from this channelling reads..

“More are awakening, more are remembering, and saying I Am, I Am All that there is. I Am a Divine being, I Am Eternal. More are recognising who they are, whence they have originated from, and to where they will return.

And that Light permeates All things.

The stages of evolution once again are set. Mankind will be witness to this next stage. For many this stage will be Transition, for others Transformation, for others it will be Travesty.”

Our Vision along with our Actions are what will help this transition be a smoother one… If we allow ourselves to get embroiled in FEAR we fall straight into the hands of those who wish to continue to Control by Fear creating chaos… But if we join in unity, love, care, sharing, helping, giving. Then my friends we are creating a world of co-operation. 

  

So how about it, are you ready with your Vision?

What is your Vision?

What World are You creating for our FUTURE?

Love and Blessings

Invictus Games–My Tribute.

 

After watching much of the Invictus Games over the past few days I have been in awe of these men and women who have shown such courage and determination in overcoming their tragic circumstances. Many of their stories brought tears to my eyes. Not only have they had to overcome their physical injuries, but they and others who have suffered such trauma have had to over come their mental barriers which often can take more healing than their broken bodies..

Turning our lives around after such an experience is often hard..

Sport has brought many of them back from their lonely ordeal of recovery.. Being part of a Team, encouraging and pulling each other up when things get tough is what unifies and brings  I AM into focus..

I couldn’t sleep the other night and wrote this Poem in Tribute to ALL those who have taken part, and those who have helped them to get to the point.. You are all truly Invictus ..

Invictus

 

I see your spirit riding high

Every challenge you meet you pass on by

You’ve pulled yourselves up within your hearts

Conquering obstacles right from the start

~

At times the odds were not stacked in your favour

But the I AM Will Power you have savoured

There must have been times when you felt so low

But your determination, True Grit is what you show.

~

Let us not forget your sacrifice

As those who rule roll the dice

In Games of War that snuff out life

To cause such suffering, grief and strife

~

Pride and admiration I have for your spirit

Invictus Hero’s each pushing your limits

All of you have come through so much

In Victory your medals to clutch

~

But Winners you are without a medal to hold

Be proud of the challenge to which you rose

You have connected to the I AM that we all are

And No Limits restricts the Light of a Star…

Well done to all..

An affirmation..

“ I place no limits and no restrictions on all that I intend to accomplish from here on in”

Blessings

~Sue~

To Believe ~ in a Better World

This  Post below is one I first published some years ago… 

I recently read the article The Coronation | Charles Eisenstein   an Essay by  Charles Eisenstein. Its a long read but well worth it. And it may enlighten many of you.. And for those not wishing to read you can listen to his podcast here as he reads his essay out  on his thoughts on our Sacred Isolation right now.. 

I invite you to listen to his words of wisdom.. As we each now have a remarkable choice of  which way we want our world to be built and to heal, and in what manner we want it to thrive.. He paints some real truths of possibilities which we all need to be aware of.

Standing on the edge of outer space

Have you ever felt yourself in this place?

Alone and yet surrounded by stars

Women are from Venus and men are from Mars.

You look at the world and want to put right

All the wrongs of man, to stop the fights-

Of Nations, whose turmoil is beyond our control,

To stop all the suffering, and end the death toll.

And yet you’re but a spec, just standing on the edge

But the yearning inside me has become more than a pledge.

For to help make a difference is what I do seek

To help and encourage, and to show we’re not weak.

But how can I change the World and her wars?

We first must look within, and look at Universal Laws.

To realise that to change, we must start with our self.

Understanding Love and Compassion is our true wealth.

That to care for each other regardless of our creed

For you cannot gather Gold, and to your children feed.

But alone I stand, just a speck of cosmic dust.

But united together we can reach out and we must-

Succeed in our endeavours to create a better land

For our children’s sake, let’s take each other’s hand.

Unite in one voice that calls out for Peace

I believe we can each make a difference

No longer can we show indifference

We need to Believe in a Better World .

The poem above I wrote in 2008, although I have omitted several verses and added the last sentence to fit in with this post.

Here is a beautiful Song Sung by Jackie Evancho  I had never heard of this remarkable young lady before this weekend.

I hope your hearts will be touched as deeply as mine as we each need
