I pretended to leap to see if I could live there. Someday I must actually arrive there or nothing will be left to arrive.
~ Rumi
Awaken! Release! Create!
Greetings,
So much is happening in our world both locally and globally as you all are well aware of. With the global financial fear crisis, political election year and the shock out of the life we knew into an uncertain future. I’ve been asking myself “How can I and LEI- The Life Empowerment Institute, be a beacon in this time of distress?” My answer came after a two week personal journey from San Francisco to Utah to Idaho Falls, to Montana and Wyoming and back to San Francisco.
It was here that I not only remembered who I was but remembered who we all are. I discovered plainly that we all do our best every day, that we all forget empowerment and regress to the victim consciousness and that we all have things to hide that we wish we never had to deal with. Within that realization, I remembered that each of us has a gift to give the world, our work, ourselves and our beloveds. We all are searching externally for what we desire internally. Everyone of us has a burning desire to be loved, nurtured, cherished, adored, honored, respected, safe, believed in, trustworthy, integrous and successful. We work each day to make that a realization and we get down on ourselves when even one of those areas is not met, even if 2 or 3 are met successfully. We are consistently consuming more than what we need in search of this safety and love we crave. We even stop showing up in our relationships, career or work or self growth work to fuel the ego’s belief that our soul will never thrive in the global macrocosm.
It is so amazing to me how I, even with all I have and do, still indulge my ego at the expense of my soul. On my journey, I went through LEAP level one and two as a participant to prepare me for facilitating LEAP 3 and 4 this time, next year. Creator, was leading the psychodramas and breathwork sessions; clearings and shame process; mind body spirit integration and shadow party, as well as the essence party and soul print weekend. I asked for the reins to be released and to allow myself to have and experience what I have given too many of you over the past 18 years doing this work. I completely surrendered myself, my ego, all my beliefs and attachments, all my positions and labels, all my judgments and fears and all of my shame and sorrow. I asked to be stripped bare and in so doing found…ME!
I found the me who created LEAP as a haven to come home to yourself and as a commitment to the 7 year old me that I would provide a place for all those who enter the sacred cauldron to heal, grow, transform, let go, move on and rest both internally and externally. I found my joy, my laughter, my miraculous wit and my deepest love and compassion for you and the world around me. I cried for those I will never see again but felt their touch and remembered their growth and drama with grace and ease. I saw each process and everyone in it for the last 10 years at LEAP and the miracles that are so powerful. I celebrated the graduations, births, deaths, marriages, developments, choices, connections and thanked Creator for the gift of life and meeting you all and I remembered how much I love and care for each of you and wish for nothing more than your amazing, magnificent success. I remembered and surrendered to my knees in gratitude for the blessed life I have and found that no matter what happens externally, internally we all have a connection that never dies. We will always grow together, learn together, leap together and always be connected in the cauldron. To me, that is the greatest gift; deep and healing connection for life and the miracles that are so powerful.
What I want each of you to know is that really all we have to do is love one another no matter what is going on around us. With love and compassion we can face anything together. With collaboration we can turn our economy, our political future and our personal growth on its heels and into greater, widespread healing on this planet. Without one of us contributing all of us lose; with all of us contributing, we all win and we as a nation of people can rest in knowing that when we put our heads on the pillows at night that all is well and we did what we came here to do. As AMMA says, “Fill your heart with love and express it in everything you DO!”
So, in closing, I’m sending a message out to all of you that I LOVE YOU, am honored to know you and am proud of all that you are and all you are becoming. Know that when you need an extra dose of love, you know who to call and where to go. You will find me and the LEI cauldron with open arms, a warm, loving heart and lots of healing wishes for you.
Wishing you peace, abundance, growth, prosperity and most of all…LOVE!
Namah Shivaya and Thank you!
