Moments of Sacred Connection

During the Winter holidays I tend to get “lost,” not feeling like I belong anywhere. I see these experiences as my Soul and who I was, seeking to assist my human side in re-connecting with Her and who I am becoming. Regardless of where you are from or your spiritual practices, the Winter holidays are all about re-connecting with Spirit. The sense of dis-connection creates a dis-ease for many, let alone a single parent’s life after their only child has ascended. The Winter season beckons us to sit in the darkness we refuse to turn a light on in and be with Spirit. Winter caresses us and asks us to rest in Them until we give Them permission to turn the Light on in us.

I still tend to view my human self separate from my Soul’s Self during these times. When I decide to place myself in the restful arms of Winter’s care and allow what is in me a chance to breathe, the Light begins to become a brighter beacon within. I rest by writing and allowing what is my inner landscape to be released out onto the “window” of my outer landscape. God/Spirit gave us sounds that were shaped into words and those words were communicated through shapes, lines, and symbols, which eventually became words. So thoughts are sacred energies shared with the Universe and all inhabitants. Writing is a way we share with God/Spirit what exists within us as They are given permission to turn on the Light.

Winter is a time when we turn inward, listening to our heartfelt energies, offering feelings to one’s Autumn adolescent mind in our headiness. When we slow down in meditation–a time when we silence the mind and listen to God/Spirit–we meet our Soul, existing in the Spring’s Spiritual paths. We transition amongst the three seasons quite naturally. Autumn’s adolescent mind, a rebel against the internal landscape we parents experience during the Winter holiday season, running around getting “lost” because we are refusing to turn the blooming Light on. Eventually we become so internally exhausted we stop to “rest” in Winter’s embrace, recognizing where we are internally and releasing what is penned up in our hearts. We allow the headiness to rest in the heart, thus bringing forth our emotions. When we allow our human-self this Autumn-Winter connection we naturally seek a form to release the emotions. There are many forms of release for exploration to share with the Universe. One can find some of those forms in my recently release Memoir, “Living-Death to Honored-Life: Seasons of Transitions for Parents of Ascended Children.”

It is important that I remind myself that all releases come from a benevolent/altruistic heart-mind connection. It is this heart-mind connective form of release that I meet Spirit residing in the Springtime of my heart-mind release. It is from this transition through Autumn’s chaos into Winter’s rest and released through Spring’s Spiritual path that I write from. Writing becomes the sacred act of my seasonal transition.

It is this sacred act of writing that I move out of my conditional state of a living-death to a reconditioned transitional state of an honored-life by which I honor the connections between my human self with my Soul’s Self, my Soul’s Self with my Son’s living Soul, and my Spiritual connection with The Divine and the greater gift for all. Where Autumn is more about the human self, Winter is the stepping stone for the greater good of all, releasing the heart’s intentional act with Spirit through the creation of one’s Self into the Universe. This is the deeper meaning of Thich Nhat Hanh’s use of “stepping out in” into the world. What we are in any moment is what we then will choose–willingly or unknowingly–to step out as into the world. When we “step out in,” we become the essence of who we are and how we share who we are in each given moment. I also know this as Jesus’ saying to us to “BE In the world, not Of the world.” What we release from within our internal landscape, becomes a part of who we are in our external landscapes in not only this world, the essence of who we are becomes the external landscapes of the Universe. What affects one affects all.

In one’s choice to “step out into the world,” one honors not only themselves, they honor the child that resides in the heart of themselves. They honor the Soul’s sacred connection with their ascended child’s Soul. May this Winter season bring the Light when you feel lost, so you may rest in Winter’s care through Spirit’s transition of one’s Adolescent mind into Winter’s heartfelt connections with friends and family. In these connections we meet Spirit’s creation of lasting resonance of who we are in the sacred love between a parent and their ascended child. This is living an Honored-Life for self and one’s ascended child through one’s life.

This Winter season release who you are in your deepest recesses through writing and allow Spirit and the Soul of your child to connect with you in Their sacred Light.

Blessings in the Light
