The Soul and the Human

This morning was a glorious, sunny winters day and I felt the deep inner desire to go for a walk and breathe with myself. Sometimes I get a bit slack with my conscious breathing as life is filled with so much to experience.  A sure sign I need to slow down and be with self is feeling soreness in my knees… they say ‘Slow down and be with self’… finally I listened.

When I breathed into where I would wander, I immediately felt it would be Zealandia. Zealandia is an amazing wildlife sanctuary just 5 minutes’ drive from my home where you can see some of New Zealand's rarest birds, reptiles and insects living wild in their natural environment.

I sat on a small wooden bridge the rainforest section of the valley. My feet dangled just inches from the clear bubbling stream.  I was surrounded by tree ferns and a variety of smaller ferns and soft moss and lichen. The trees above were filled with birds singing and flitting around catching insects. Their songs complimented the bubbling stream. The only other sound I was aware of was my conscious breath. This is my most favourite of all spaces to be in and I’m so over joyed I created it in my life.

As I breathed, I felt such peace. I felt so connected to myself… so much so that I became very conscious of a conversation going on between my soul self and my human self. My soul, in all it’s playfulness and little or no understanding of human needs or comforts, wanted to jump into the stream and follow it on it’s journey. My human self was much more ‘sensible’ and reserved.

“You don’t know what cold is do you?” said my human self. “No way are you getting me in that freezing water. I’d have to walk all the way back to the car dripping wet!”

I could feel my soul wanting the experience so much that I nearly leapt in, yet the human stood it’s ground.

Then soul looked through the ferns and saw the tall trees. It wanted to climb them.

“Do you know how difficult and exhausting it would be to climb those old pine trees? There are no lower branches to start with.” said the human self.

I found the conversations amusing. The soul was like the fearless child and the human was the fear burdened parent.

The soul soon lost interest in the trees, not because of the practical human self, but because its attention had shifted to the birds… to flying!

Interestingly, the human self had no qualms about flying and put up no argument. It too would love the experience. When I’ve had flying dreams in the past, I was always upset when I woke and realised it wasn’t real… it felt soooo real.

As a compromise, soul and human agreed to imagine the experience together. It was so beautiful! A true blending of soul and human self’s such as I’ve never consciously experienced before. I could feel the sensation of flight. It was even more real than my dreams.  I could also feel a deeper shift and self-acceptance and self-awareness. I could feel the unconditional self-love on so many more levels.

Eventually, I came ‘back’ from my experience and I wandered a little further upstream still feeling the joy of my flight. I came across another small bridge. I breathed into my core and into my joy. I then found myself feeling into the past 2 weeks. Something had happened that had brought me more into myself. Something had happened that had deepened my love for Natacha. Something had happened that had caused me to embrace my expanded family even more. Something had happened that had me more deeply aware of my journey of choice. Something had happened that had me falling deeper into love and gratitude of all things…

Just as I was feeling into all this ‘something’… it struck me… the earthquakes! The reason so much has changed is due to all the releasing energies coming up from Gaia... not just releasing the stuck energies but more awesomely, she was releasing all the new consciousness energy that had been stored away from the beginning of time just waiting for humanity to reach this time of new expanded consciousness. It’s been 13 days since the first quake. We’ve been getting on average around 30 a day in varying degrees since then. They’re all centred in the Cook Straight where Natacha and I know the 'Heart' of New Zealand resides and it’s only 10-20 kms from us in Wellington. Wellington is the capital of NZ and the governing centre of the land. If there’s stuff to be released and changed, the country's capital is a good place to do it.

These earthquakes are creating such amazing shifts on so many levels and they are occurring with very little damage even from the big ones. We know this shift can be graceful and gentle. Nothing needs to be destructive any more. Ease and grace is the way in this new consciousness.

With so much shaking, nothing feels solid or ridged anymore... it's all becoming flexible... within Gaia and within self.  It's all quite exciting when you relate how the earth changes are affected by you and how the earth changes affect you... an amazing dance of energies heralding a new change of consciousness, of energy and all that is.

Soon after this awareness came up, the little bridge I was standing on began to move and shake under my feet. I could feel the energy of yet another earthquake... it was a strong one, 4.9, yet it had a gentleness about it. It was almost as if it was acknowledging my new awareness. It’s amazing how something like an earthquake which usually ignites fear into the human, is seen as a gift when the soul and the human blend and dance with self-acceptance.

Today is a wonderful day.

   Journey into Self: New Zealand ‘Quake’ Meditation 

This meditation was created to assist awareness of this land and its relationship to the self as we are experiencing huge and wonderful shifts together at this time of the new consciousness and new energy integration and expansion.

Since sharing this meditation in our group last night, for the first time in 7 days of continual quake activity (every 10 minutes for most of the past days) today has had very few minor readings and none now for the past 6 hours.

In this visualization we liken the journey of travelling up and down NZ to a journey up and down our own physical self…. chakra to chakra. We also recognise our state of separation which we know as the masculine/feminine, yin/yang, positive/negative, duality in the land and in the self.

I invite you to breathe… breathe long, lovingly and deeply into your belly… into your core… allow yourself to slowly meld and melt into self.

We begin our journey at the furthest point in the North Island… at Cape Reinga… Imagine yourself at the Cape… the crown chakra of NZ, while at the same time feeling it in your own crown…

Slowly we move south to Lake Taupo… this area is seen/ felt as the country’s throat chakra… an energy centre of communication… a volcanic and thermal lake…. I invite you to feel this space in your own throat… feel the activity… feel your voice and truth come forth.

Continuing our walk, we wander down to the bottom of the South Island and into the heart centre in the middle of the Cook Straight…  still breathing and feeling the journey in our own physical bodies.

Take another deep conscious breath… while part of our energies stay in the Heart centre,  we also allow our awareness to expand to the most southern point of the South Island.

Slowly walking up from the base of the island, we come to Lake Tekapo. This glacial lake is the emotional centre of NZ… Allow yourself to feel the energy in your own belly, your own emotional centre. I invite you to breathe in and allow your emotions and your fears to release and come into balance.. It’s just a choice on the breath.

Breathing consciously still, we walk further north up the South Island heading to the Heart in the Cook Straight.

At the Heart I invite you to breathe and meld fully with self… breathing with your heart centre and also feeling the breath in the heart centre of NZ.

While you have felt the chakras in the land and within self, you may also have become aware that the North Island represents the masculine and the South Island the feminine… similar to the separation created by duality that you have experienced in your life since before physical time began.

In this wonderful time of change, of the divine self coming into the physical, of the shift into the 5^th dimension, we realise that we no longer need to experience separation in any form any more.

Our chakras are blending and coming into the One Chakra and the separation we called duality is also being released as we allow our divine self to integrate with our physical human self and blend together in the dance of total integration of total self-acceptance… the dance of our enlightenment… our ascension. As you release separation and come into the heart… so the county loses its separation of being two islands and becomes one united county.

Breathing consciously, I invite you to feel the energies shifting in the heart of the land. When we created this planet, this land, we planted energies in specific spaces that would come forth at the time humanity would leap into their divine human status/5^th dimensional awareness. These energies would be released only when humanity had brought itself to the vibration of the divine human. Our divine human vibration acts like a key which open the new energies that have been waiting for us since time began… we are now at that vibrational level and the energies over the past week have been coming forth in response to us… not to destroy, not to create fear, but to assist us in our magnificent journey in being all that we are… in being the I AM.

Breathing into this feeling, this awareness…  I invite you now, as you experience yourself ‘standing’ in the heart centre of self and of the land. Can you feel yourself as the ‘key’?

Breathe…. As you recognise yourself as the key opening this new energy expansion, you may feel the energies coming up through the ground like a pillar of light… you are standing in the middle of this pillar of light…

Now, I invite you to also feel the divine energies coming down from the heavens in a similar pillar of light.

Breathe… when the two pillars of light come together, when they meet in your heart centre, there’s and explosion of blended light energies and that new energy shoots out to shine across the whole land and beyond…. Breathe…
