Aloha - Blast from the past, a gift I ran across for my Earth Day contemplations from Bobbi Best in her 2012 journey to survive deep grief after Tom’s sudden death in April of that year
You might enjoy this, esp. during such challenging times with so much to grieve about.
“Excerpt - Lotus Blossom Arising…
from the notes and treasured tools created for the Radical Grieving booklet; May to June 2012.
“… I was still having the vital center shocks, reverberations, after shocks, every morning… and in my Heart too, and in my Vital Center, in particular.
This one morning, I was intent on emptying it… opening it, like letting go of the contraction. And what I realized was that there was a dark space… a very dark, deep, space.
And I went, “Oh, ok that is still causing the vibrations.”
So all of a sudden, a flower spontaneously arose inside the dark space, and then it became a Lotus. And then I took it into my Heart too, very directly with my Intent and attention.
When I did this within my Heart, it stopped; it changed. It calmed. It relieved, was simply smooth and easy.
So the physical sensations from the vibrations were connected with the image of that dark and deep. I mean that may sound like only a visual, yet it was physical as well.
So when I filled that gap with the Lotus Flower, then it is completely FILLED with whatever the Lotus Flower holds. And my mind was seeing it, and saw that it is NOT that dark place anymore, it is Now a flower.
Then I immediately felt the Calmness in my Vital Center… all at once. The Calmness actually comes to me.
Instead of the dark and the void, there was the Fullness and the Calm. The Fullness was the Lotus Flower that produced the Calm in my Heart and Vital Center. And it worked, over and over each morning after that.”
Aloha - BIG Love... Mucho Mahalo for Bobbi and Tom Best !
Mucho Mahalo to Goddess / Divine / All There Is,
