I am truly in awe of the level of transparency and sharing that is emerging within the blogging circle. In years past, it seems like it took longer to get to this place, maybe people would finally share deeply by the end of the south direction. This year it is moving much more quickly, and I commend all of us for breaking through the old limitations.
My week offered an opportunity to experience completion yet again. Many years ago, I had the blessing of studying with an elder Hawaiian Kahuna named Raschelle-Lei. She was one of those enlightened ones that made people feel and experience life differently just being in her presence.
When I first met her, she told me right away that there would be a beginning, a middle, and an end to our work together. She was preparing me right at the beginning, so I would not carry a false expectation of her. And just as she had said, we worked together for around a year, then abruptly it was complete. She moved across the country and I completely lost touch with her.
Not being really comfortable with endings or completions, I secretly wondered whether I had offended her or done something "wrong" that caused this break in communication. Yet I knew in my heart that nothing had changed between us, just that the time for a teacher of her level in my life was gone. It was now time for me to step up to the plate and embody all she had passed on to me, time to become my own guru and develop my own divine guidance and connection. Two years later, she contacted me briefly once again, as she was getting ready to leave the earth, and passed on to me the great honor of leadership of the White Raven Lodge. Within a few weeks, she passed out of this plane of existence and continued her work in the spirit world.
This week, I received an e-mail from a person whom I had worked together with in her healing and ascension process. A couple of years ago, I received guidance that our time together was complete, and I needed to honor the completion with this person. Completion is still sometimes my most challenging event, and I am not sure if I did it very gracefully, but I did communicate my need for completion and went on with life.
In the e-mail, she asked me if she had done something that offended me--expressing the same doubts that I had felt when completing my journey with Raschelle-Lei! I was able to communicate my truth and explain my reason for creating an ending. I am not certain how it will be received, but am sure it will create some clarity for this person, and at the very least, allowed me to speak my truth, and to once again face the discomfort that accompanies endings and completions. It is a gift and a growth opportunity.
Yang Jiaou Mai--The Vocation Palace
Patterns and blockages in the Vocation Palace channel originate in present time; how we are living now. So often we forget that our happiness, evolution, and life experience is influenced most by the very way we are living our lives. If we are working in this channel, we may want to ask ourselves to consider the following:
*Are we acting on our truth? Are we acting on our desires? Are we taking action in our daily lives to create the life we want to live?
*Do we have discomfort or judgement about the world--do we always see it in a negative light, or believe it is getting worse?
*Do we know what we want or need to do, but feel afraid to do it?
Patterns in this channel will often create symptoms of extremes; attraction to extreme climates; weight gain and weight loss; thyroid imbalance; and any form of imbalance or disequilibrium in any area of life. The curriculum inherent in this palace involves integrating the ability to act on our dreams and desires. Here we learn to really live our life purpose, and do what we love in life. We must learn to act on inner wisdom and higher guidance, and trust that we will be supported when we do what we love.
When we reach a state of neutrality in this palace, we are doing exactly what we came here to do, and we absolutely know it! It is an ecstatic feeling of being in perfect alignment with life. Our work--regardless of what it may be--is no longer work to us. It is our life's work, filled with passion and purpose. We accept the world, feel a part of it, and feel a contribution to making it a better place. We trust ourselves to take actions to make our dreams become a reality.
