The Anchor & The Antenna

In the stillness of the night. In the quiet of the breeze, dreams slip through the subconscious of our soul making themselves known. In those dreams magic and mystery bubbles. 

This isn’t the magic or the mystery of sleight of the hand. That really isn’t magic. This is the magic of manifestation and the mystery of hope. As dreams slip through our consciousness the possibility of realizing our purpose increases. 

Okay, I can almost hear you say, is it that easy? Well, sometimes. In those moments when we recognize the threads of magic and mystery, we follow them to our soul purpose. In those moments it is a simple thing to twine those threads deep into our being.

At other times we have difficulty connecting to the mystery and the magic. We need help! That help begins by turning ourself into a giant antenna and grounding that antenna into the earth while connecting it to the source. The antenna hears the voice of your dreams and serves as a conduit for messages. 

Here's a meditation (available on YouTube): Let’s begin. Take a couple of breaths…don’t try to shift your breathing…just notice your breath…envision a golden light surrounding you…inhale this light through your crown…follow your it throughout your body…notice the golden strand of Sacred twine with the strand of Self…as you breathe, envision the golden energy continue to weave with your strand as it flows through your head…with each breath it moves through your head…down your neck…branches out and flows across your shoulders…down both of your arms…through your wrists…out the palm of your hand and your finger tips…with your next breath, return to your neck…the energy flows down your chest, past your heart, through your solar plexus, into your lower torso…feel the energy flow as it travels down both of your legs…flowing down, down, down until it leaves your body through the soles of your feet…let your energy be drawn into the earth…as your energy sinks into the earth, it roots into the Earth…the strands of Sacred and Self twine with the Strand of Earth…feel the triad energy root you deeply into the earth…feel your connection to Earth…as you exhale, breath into the earth…share your self with Earth…as you inhale, bring Earth energy to your body…this energy forms of cord of three strands — Self, Sacred, and Earth…with each breath draw this mingled energy up your body…it enters your feet…moves up your legs…the energy streams join in your pelvis…moves up your torso…chest…through your neck…through your head…the golden light, a three strand cord, continues out your crown chakra….it reaches up to connect with the Source…feel the cord that travels from above your head to deep into the Earth…feel how this anchors you into the moment…breathe into the cord that connects you to all of creation.

Now envision that strands of the cord begin to spiral around your body. The spiral is made of copper. It begins at the top of your head connecting to the Source. It wraps around your body spiraling to the body of your feel. It terminates by burying itself into the earth. Now feel the energy of the Source, the Earth, and You amplifying your ability to sense the magic, the mystery that seeks to speak with you.

This is your antenna. Ask a question. Listen to the answer. Or, say, “Show me. I am listening.” Trust that the magic, the mystery, really whatever you need to be aware of, need to hear, need to respond to will resonate in your core.

Through the Veil into Your Truth

Slip into the veil. The between place where the magic of transformation occurs. Slip into the veil where dreams are made real. Slip into the veil where you find your truth.

Many spiritual traditions speak of this in-between place. In the liminal, our awareness shifts. We see, we experience the world differently. Things are brighter, more poignant. That more is our intuition. When we listen intently with all of our senses, we hear the voice of our intuition guiding us to our truth.

To seek this in-between place is to commit to change. To believe in magic. To live in mystery. To let go. To free fall into the moment trusting that the answers that you seek are within reach. Did I mention one little thing? Oh, yeah, you have to have the courage to take those running steps that end in a leap into the unknown. 

Once you take that leap and slip through the thin opening, I believe you will find a certain familiarity — a trust that while you may not be home — you are exactly where you need to be. Enter the veil enough and you will discover the home of your heart.

Maybe you are wondering what you will find when you slip through that thin slot. Entering the veil, you begin the journey to the center of your being. At the core you become one with the flickering spark that connects you to those liminal spaces.

I began my journeying into the veil accidentally through meditation. Breathing into the rhythm of my being, I visualized my breath flowing through my being. Traveling on the breath’s flow, I found my sacred spark. What is this spark? A place of multiple portals, a connector to this moment and to liminal spaces beyond. The spark is home to my truth. A place where I embrace who I am.  But, I am getting ahead of myself.

I rested in the spark. Took a look around. Asked it to light the way of the next steps. This way into the liminal works best if you have a question. Then I continued to breath into the spark to the rhythm of my inhale and exhale. And, I listen to the whispered message.

Sometimes I would be invited through the veil to explore. Other times my being was soothed by the iridescence in the spark. No matter where I found myself in the liminal, I returned feeling peacefully energized. And, upon each return, I saw the world differently. I realized in those moments I did not go through the veil, the veil went through me. 

Let’s return to the spark and the invitation of the liminal. I heard the voice of the liminal with all my senses. I entered it. Allowed it to enter me. Listened to the message. Deciphered it. Then holding my knowing gently, I returned better for the experience. 

The veil, the liminal space, a place of transformation. Do you have the hope, the trust, the courage to make the round trip journey? To discover your truth and bring it back? When you do, you, and the world, will be made better because of it.
