Haystack Rock

image

I am here now.

At Cannon Beach on the Oregon Coast.

I am loungerlating in an old school leather chair kicking back with my feet criss crossed on this matching ottoman and rocking with a cup of hot tea in my hands.

I am perched in a wood house that is filled with memorabilia from fishermen and a lifetime of ocean lovers on a hill top gazing out to Haystack Rock which is one of the most sacred natural displays of beauty that I have ever seen.

There are thousands of white seagulls flying around and resting upon Haystack Rock.

Just in front of my view of Haystack Rock there is copious amounts of Queen Anne’s Lace flowers wildly growing with dollops of pink roses here and there.

The surf is flowing in constantly…wave after wave of deep aqua blue power & the soundtrack of the sea is lulling me into what feels like an alpha wave inner state of calm and centered beingness.

To the left of Haystack Rock there are 2 surfers in the ocean in head to toe super thick wetsuits and they must be truly stoked because they are catching wave after perfect wave.
Up here on the hill I can’t see the expression on their faces but I would guess they are smiling ear to ear.
And I am truly hoping that they are staying warm out there in that frigid water.
And I kinda wish I had my surfboard here.

There is a big white fishing boat slowly trolling by in the distance and my wish is that they are catching lots of fish.

There are droves of people and dogs on the beach.

Some are walking.
Some are running.
Some are skipping.
Some are biking.
Some are sitting.
Some are happy.
Some are in deep contemplation.

I have a feeling we all feel really lucky to be here.

I feel really lucky.

Last night we took a long walk down the beach at sunset until we couldn’t walk any further.

This beach is gargantuan.

Super long and super broad.

I took so many photographs and will share them with you accompanied with inspirational messages for years to come.

The scale of Nature’s majesty here makes me feel incredibly tiny.

And this littleness feels really good.

There is one lone man who is sitting in a chair very close to the waterline with his giant camera set up on a tripod.
My fantasy is that he is doing a time lapsed photography session.
He has a big pair of binoculars and he is probably looking at everything I am looking at but up close and in detail.
Hey, here’s a telescope.
I can get in on that up close and personal detail should I choose to…or I can just stay in this perspective with the bird’s eye view.
Now there is a small group of 4 people talking to him and he has leant them his binoculars. They are pointing at something in the direction of Haystack Rock.

As I tune into their frequency I now find myself with tears rolling down my face for no particular reason.

And now it’s not just tears.

Its a big deep cry.

It’s one of those “God I am so blessed to be alive” cries.

Really cathartic.

And it is really quite simple why this is happening right now…

I am deeply touched by this place.

We all are.

How could you not be?

It is familiar to me and it feels like one of my homes on the planet.

I feel deeply held by Mother Earth here.

The energy is so huge here that I feel like a child in her arms.

I feel tiny and it’s a relief to remember this Universal Truth.

I am here in this home and in this sacred place because my dear friend, who is my soul sister has an amazing family who is part of my soul familia here on beautiful planet Earth.

I just naturally and easily love them and I am grateful to receive the love that they naturally flow to me.

And I am so blessed that they graciously invited me into their mystical world here in Cannon Beach and into their super sweet world back in Portland.

Like me, they are all beauty givers and nature lovers and artists and lovers of life.

They are sensitive and kind and gracious and generous souls.

And I can palpably feel the love and attention to every detail that has gone into emulating the pure perfection of nature’s majesty in this home temple on the hill that is giving me shelter and a cozy spot to rest and relax.

This place is part of their family’s legacy passed down from 4 generations back.

My soul sister’s grandparents have passed away but I can feel their Spirits here and I deeply appreciate everything they have created here.

And I am feeling so much Love and Gratitude for my parents and grandparents and their never ending love for the sea and all of nature and for always creating dwellings that bring the outside in and have always helped remind me that WE ARE NATURE.

I am doing my best to keep these traditions alive.

And I feel their spirits here with me now (especially my dear ole Dad) and know how deeply they would appreciate this awe inspiring place too.

It always amazes me that the deepest tears I cry are the ones evoked by Love and Gratitude.

The waves of tears have now subsided but I know they will come again and I invite them to visit me anytime.

Wave after wave will continue to flow throughout the tides of time during this miraculous life.

What will always remain amidst the ebbs and flows is this Heart centered Spiritual Soul presence that is as strong and powerful as Haystack Rock❤️

Shiva Shakti LOVELIGHTBLISS

unnamedIt was 9 weeks ago on Shivaratri, the Hindu celebration of the Divine Union of the Beloveds that I sent out my clear intent for supreme blessings on my Beloved partnership with all of existence.

On that night I drew this picture of Ardhanarishvara, half Shiva/half Parvati, half woman/half man, the perfect blend of the opposite flows of energy, the Divine Lovers merged as one being.

Since then, there has been…

So much clearing of old ways of being that were holding me back from spiritual expansion..

So much cleansing of suppressed mojo.

This path requires sacrifice because not everyone is devoted to this level of consciousness.

It is a path that requires great devotion and courage.

One has to be willing to shed the old ways like a snake shedding it’s skin.

And lemme tell ya…there are some big ole detox moments at first when you want to cling to the old ways because you are going into unchartered territory.

You have to have Faith Supreme in the Supreme Force of Love and trust that the burning is going to set you free.

But it’s SO worth it because you create so much space to receive high octane LOVELIGHTBLISS.

More than ever, I am truly in awe of Love right now.

Love is the way and Love is the answer.

I am so grateful more than ever that this path of Fearless Radical Love is the way that I happily choose to walk through life.

And this is the truly amazing thing…

The first and foremost and foundational Beloved relationship is totally internal.

It is the Divine Union of the Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine within.

Just like this picture.

It truly is a state of being that is real.

And…it feels SO good and so right.

The high frequency Love that I am attracting from this internal energetic state of being is so pure and direct and obvious and beautiful.

It reminds me of my first memory (that some people say is not possible and a bunch of malarky but it happened because I was there….mmmmmmmk?).
My first memory was…

Being the egg and my #1 commitment was to allow ONLY THE BEST.
And…
Being the sperm and my #1 commitment was I AM THE ONE.

That’s how I got here.

Being the best that I can be and being the one is the perfect way to describe this Shiva Shakti Beloved Love.

It is the energy that creates life and magic and miracles.

So here I am…
I found everything inside of myself that I have been looking for outside of myself.

And now that I have it inside it is happening in more balanced, harmonious and super sweet ways than ever externally.

Today I am grateful for all of you Fearless Radical Lovers out there who are dancing this dance with me…because it’s a lot more fun to talk and breathe and dance and play with others who are on this path.

Thank you for doing the deep work and raising the bar on what is possible in our relationships with all people, places and things.

Being in right relationship with people that are willing and able (and we are all able if we devote ourselves) to work and play like this is a total turn on, so inspirational and clears the space so that LOVELIGHTBLISS and a whole lotta passion and play can prevail internally and externally on all levels, planes and dimensions.

And let’s remember what Marianne Williamson said:

“The revolution that will save the world is ultimately a personal one.”

It all begins within.

Be the best you can be…which means CHOOSE LOVE!!!!
And…
Be the one.

You are the one that you have been waiting for.

Rare and Wondrous

CondorsWe are in total awe after a rare & wondrous sighting of the condors of Big Sur…

We considered stopping the journey up the coast to check them out but decided to carry on…

And lo & behold they decided to chase after us!

Such an incredible metaphor that we do not need to turn around so that we don’t leave anything behind…if anyone or anything wants to soar to the highest heights, they will rush to find us & rise up to meet us ;-))

As they flew right by our chariot we pulled over & they circled back around soaring right above our heads… not once but 3 times…encircling us over & over again.

We knew that we were being blessed with a supreme blessing & when we read the symbology of the Condor our Spirits truly soared:

Condors prefer to live in the high mountains, to fly in the skies above the cordilleras. They symbolise the highest elevation, above limitations and obstacles. They are, above all, the symbol of the transpersonal; they integrate the wisdom of those who have died, those who have no ego. They are the symbol of spiritual ascension, of communication with the spirits, with what is subtle.

The condor is the symbol of creative power, the incarnation of timeless philosophy; his majestic flight suggests the process of life itself, of creative eternity, whose ever-living works are made up of births and deaths.

The eagle is the symbol of the sun, but the eye of the condor is the sun; it symbolises the hidden light of the great emptiness. It is the master of weather, of thunder and lightning, of wisdom, of new vision, of prophecy, of illumination.

The condor is without doubt the king of the skies, but ultimately he is a servant, a simple gardener, the instrument of the art of renovation, of cleanliness and purification; new productions need new spaces, which are fertilised from the disintegration of the old, of the spirits of the dead. Wisdom, prudence, calm, reflection, discretion, intuition, vision, prophecy, messenger of the divine – these are the attributes of the bird.

Slow down for LOVE

1017704_10151720591533908_598238833_nA friend recently asked me if she thinks that I have held back with the advancement of my career because of my relationship with my man.

And I said,

YES.

For sure.

For me, building anything, especially a career, is not worth it unless the foundation of it is LOVE.Continue reading

Shooting Star

UnknownYou know it’s going to be a poignant Memorial Service when you are sobbing amidst waves of emotion while you are writing your notes and are crying again while officiating the service…

I have taught over 15,000 hours of transformational Yoga classes, workshops, retreats and trainings, officiated 13 weddings, facilitated many rights of passage ceremonies and been a spiritual mid-wife at several births, but never have I felt more honored than I do today.Continue reading

Movement —> Keep it fresh and new

1471904_10152031103793908_741085991_nSelf Love and Self Care come in many different guises.

One of the foundations of Vibration Transformation is to raise your vibration by moving your body regularly.

Although my foundational movement program has always been Yoga, I also enjoy a lot of other forms of exercise.

I have always loved dancing, free weights, spot exercises and resistant bands amongst many other exercises.

This Summer one of my best friends invited me to try out one of her new workout DVDs called Brazilian Butt Lift.Continue reading

One True Thing

tumblr_mj8v7e3hRC1rqdwmro1_250_largeI heard a truly wonderful quote by Swami Vivekananda recently.

He said:

Take up one idea.
Make that one idea your life. Dream of it. Think of it. Live on that idea.
Let the brain, the body, muscles, nerves, every part of your being be full of that idea and just leave every other idea alone.
This is the way to success, and this is the way great spiritual giants are produced.Continue reading
