Chapter One
Singing with SpiritThe Daily Practice of Clearing Your Energy and Communing with Your Higher Self
Birth Day
Each day Is like my birthday
I awaken Early Release the dogs into delicious morning Free the collective curiosity of chickens and Pet the cat
And then I come into this space Into the silence of my breath Into the lightness of my spirit Into the limitless space inside my head
The sky begins to brighten as I wait
And the gifts begin to arrive
The Wisdom of Spirit
There is a wisdom that comes to each of us from the small, still place of being called Spirit. When we are silent, when we relinquish our hold on ego and on mind, then we are able to hear Spirit talking.
The words that flow from Spirit are deeply true, for me, in the moment of their writing and beyond. As I connect with Spirit within, I connect with what I have to say from the core of myself.
The words sing.
They chortle.
They play.
I am better than I know I am. I am Divinely inspired, and luminous.
* Writing Is Not Hard
There is a myth/story/picture in our world that says that the process of birthing words is as agonizing as the process of birthing young. Yet writing does not have to be painful.
When we are tapped into Spirit, communing with the deepest places within, writing becomes effortless and joyful. The words flow forth with ease, surprising even the writer, whose job becomes listening to, recording, and polishing the words that come.
I have learned to connect with my spirit and to write from this sacred space through the practice of meditation. I practice a grounding and clearing style of meditation taught to me by clairvoyant healer Christine Agro (www.christineagro.com). Her seeing and her teachings inform this book, and I honor and acknowledge her work.
Meditation is now as much a part of my balanced day as showering, eating, and sleeping. It is in the meditation space that I am able to release judgment, perfection energy, and ego. I clear from my space the energy that no longer serves me, and I use the connection to my Higher Self that meditation creates to receive words, messages, and insights that guide and inform my life.
It is through my daily practice of communing with my Higher Self that I decide what to write, what to write about today, and what belongs in the manuscript I am creating. Sometimes when I meditate (which I do for an hour or more each day), words simply come to me, even though I am not consciously thinking about my writing. Truths about dog training, ideas for articles, wording for my Web sites: All this and more floats up from that deep, still place within. I never know what gifts I will receive from my meditation session, and they usually come when I least expect them.
When I am working on a piece and the words don't feel right, I have only to close my eyes, breathe deeply, and dip into the meditation zone to find the wording that I need. It's stress free. It's fun! And it's a place all writers can visit to support their own creativity.
In this book, I will share with you the simple process of grounding meditation that Christine Agro taught me. I will show you how to use the meditation space to clear the energetic blocks that might be hampering your writing, such as giving your power away to others in your search for validation, or reaching for perfection at the expense of momentum. I will teach you how to set up a writing space that honors your spirit, and I will show you ways to connect with your spirit and channel its words and its wisdom as you write. And finally, I will talk briefly about how my journey into living as Spirit-in-a-body and my ability to write from Spirit are inextricably intertwined.
As I share with you the way I use the meditation space as a vehicle for all these journeys, what I share with you is my truth. It is true for me—not necessarily also for you. If any of these suggestions resonate for you, that's great. Use them. They are tools that belong to all of us. What does not resonate for you, you can simply leave behind, like items from the buffet that you choose not to eat.
It all begins with what Christine Agro calls "running your energy," or simply "meditating." Running your energy, like all great tools, is very, very simple; yet what it shifts in your life can be profound.
* A Simple Grounding Meditation: Running Your Energy
Choose a comfortable chair or seat that supports your back and allows your feet to rest comfortably and fully upon the floor or ground.
Begin with a deep breath in through your nose, and then exhale through your mouth with the soft sound of ahhhh. After the deep breath, feel how effortless the next breath is: Your belly fills with air and you can follow the breath in and up, out and down, with soft intention. Allow your breath to come and go without force.
Now close your eyes. Pick a color of light, and imagine a tube of light in the color you have chosen. Attach it firmly to the base of your spine. Yes, you can! You're a writer—imagine it! Next, see, imagine, or allow this tube of light to extend down through your body, through your seat or chair, down through all the layers of the house you're in, and into the earth. The tube of light extends effortlessly down through the earth until it reaches the center of your earth, and makes a strong connection there. See, imagine, or set your intention to have the cord of light attach in whatever way you choose into the center of the earth.
Bring your attention back up the cord of light, allowing the grounding cord to expand in all directions until it is as big around as your physical body. Let it grow past your physical body until it is as wide as your aura, or energy field. Yes, it's still attached to your spine, and it's also as wide as your aura in all directions. Tell your mental body to shush; all this can be true at once if you intend it.
Now, on that cord of light there is a switch. Turn it on, and start to release all the energy that no longer serves you. This could be the energy of other people that has rubbed off into your space, the energy of your past that you are willing to relinquish, the energy of the five jelly doughnuts you just had for breakfast.
At this time, you do not even need to know exactly what the unwanted energy is that you are releasing. Later we will name some of it; for now just send it on, down, and out.
Sit, and breathe, and run unwanted energy down your grounding cord for the next five to fifteen minutes. If your body wants to yawn, yawn to the fullest. Yawn, sigh, blow your nose, wipe your teary eyes: All these are signs that the body is releasing energy. Meditate with tissues nearby, and perhaps a tall glass of water or herbal tea, to cleanse and refresh your physical space.
Before you leave the meditation space, use the golden sun exercise, which follows, to fill up the energy...
