Autumnal Illuminations!

Oh can you step back with me and gaze at the jewel tones sparkling in the umber fields, those Autumnal colors dancing through the woods, golds and ginger leaves dangling from old elm and cedar limbs, then sprinting from bough to bough leap frogging and playing hide and seek, rolling in the acorns, and camofloging themselves to throw prowlers off track! Just imagine with me the royal Autumn Celestial's throwing their heads back,gossiping and catching up on what is new, brass buttons jingle jangling from their sweaters tied just off the shoulders and the sweet smell of marigolds and pumpkin, of cider and cinnamon sticks teasing your senses and inviting you to the festival Fall brings to us!

And let me dare not be remiss to not mention, the arrival of The Autumn equinox, all clean shaven with His Tux jacket cleverly tossed casually over his rugged strong shoulder, whoosh this balancing of the Seasons leaves me a little unsteady sometimes.. Well I always find Him a bit on the intoxicating side I must admit, a rather rejuvenating sight! OOh this time of the year, which happens to be my Birthday time, I am giddy to "let slip", my heart starts to beat in expectant hopeful extra time just anticipating the change of Seasons. I adore watching Mother nature tug out her ole familiar charming wool sweaters, and snuggly beaded shawls, heading towards her fireplace with Her incense and Her basket over filled with fall flowers for her Hearth! Tucking a spicy novel in her Rocker just before she goes out to watch the night, skies glittering with starlight melding with the Sunset.

Oh I so hope that You, my Dear reader, will take the time to come and share some time with me, sip some jasmine tea by the firelight, and rediscover for yourself walks with a new quick clip in your steps, perhaps a renewed twinkle in your eyes, waltzing away into your busy days feeling a bit more reintegrated, or at the very least, a bit more inspired to take a few steps back and view the world from a multi dimensional stand point. It is not all about being merely mortal. Far from it! Hey bare with me here! Even the most enlightened, should in my own humble opinion, consider themselves a novice when we are embarking on explorations and seeking the Divine, and the multitude of some of the greatest unearthed mysteries that remain hidden in the recesses of both our Universe and other dimensions that man has yet to find and establish connections with.

Now I am not talking about becoming a space cadet, or even that we should leave logic in our studies tucked away, but at least humor me in that there are certainly areas where we limit ourselves and humanity by not being receptive to holy moments that sometimes occur and we don't even notice that something deeply meaningful has just touched our lives! We rush and hurry in our mind grinding routines with our check list pages swinging in the winds, as we turn the pages and run into the last bits of daylight. Meanwhile the Sun heads out for the night, grabs his burly jacket and doesn't look back, because he is done with the day and He needs his rest. And in regards to the Celestials, they know the lines in the sands, it's practically omnipitance to them, and they are finely attuned with Divine order. They keep their pocket watches shiny as starlight.

While my manuscript is in it's culmination stages, I will sprinkle in as much fine tuning and inspiration as I can to get us all thinking on higher levels. Life is so much more than the mundane and so much more than all the stresses that try to envelope us and steal away the magic that any given moment can actually bestow. Even in some of our greatest challenges we do have Guardians walking with us. Though we may not feel an element of comfort caressing our burdened hearts, and our minds are over ridden, when you feel you just may self implode, just stop in mid stride and create a moment of absolute stillness. In that moment, imagine a softly lit center point within you, inviting, soothing, comforting and completely free of strife. Take some very deep breaths and think of your most beautiful favorite color surrounding you like a soft cloud, like a new Mother embracing and holding her new infant. Let this ethereal light of hue soothe you all the way down to your very Soul. You will in these moments be able to find your essence, remain in this sacred space with your deep breathes imagining a fragrance so serene that your whole mind, body and emotions are just swept into a warm and gentle up lifting inner realm of calm. And remember, you can go there at any time you need this warm and gentle refuge. It is all yours, slip into your imagination and imagine yourself in communion with yourself.

You are an eternal and beautiful being, you came into this world undefiled, innocent, and the introduction to this mortal world and all that can accompany it, needn't cause you to loose your Divine connection neither with God, or with yourself. Yes sometimes it feels impossible to find a free breath, so just like you take time to make a To Do list, make time to find this inner sanctuary, to become still, take some deep breaths, imbibe those soft ethereal colors and scents that are so relaxing and so individually soothing, that you feel you are connected to the Holy ones. You know you can be, it is a choice once you learn how to go there, once you know that the golden key lies in your own mind, within your own reach in this very moment.

As for myself I take a down feather blanket with me, a teddy bear softer than the biggest Cotton ball this side of heaven, and lots of softly scented sensuous candles... by the time I leave, I am intoxicated and feel like a Deva so alluring and so completely attuned that the troubles on the doorsteps take a step back when they see me coming, and I can hear them all chattering.. "Lord, she's been there again!" Laughing out loud here, but seriously try this sometime and see if your world feels just a little more light weight and your prayers and meditations come through more in the golden light of gentle whispers instead of pleas of desperate emotions!
Much Love & Blessings!
