Posts Tagged ‘Open the Door’
I wrote about following your dreams last week.
Today, I visited with some friends who form a circle of Wise Women. One exclaimed excitedly, “I found my heart people! I found my heart home!”
The energy, the exuberance radiating off of her was palpable. She also mentioned something about doors flying open and things taking off.
I love that feeling. Life is a journey of receiving and having the courage to walk through those open doors, I believe.
The image of open doors reminded me of Teesha Moore, an artist who expressed the same thing about open doors when she gave in to her heart and created Artfest, one of the grooviest art destination events in North America. She says:
“Artfest was a concept that consumed my every thought 13 years ago. It was right after I went through a period of asking the universe, “What am I here to do”. When the visions started unfolding, I was excited and scared a little. But I knew that until I set the wheels in motion, my thoughts would not leave me alone. So I stepped through the first door and 13 years later, all the rest of the doors have been flung wide open for me. It is one way of knowing I am on the right path.”
Teesha’s life story is full of open doors – both for her art and also for Artfest.
I believe the heart has all of your answers…it is connected to the One Heart that connects us all. I see so many people (myself included over the years) that have chased the mind down one dead end after another. Sure, you get a consolation prize of the experience, but wouldn’t we rather be living? Really?
When you are ready… just ask for the next step. Then get ready for the doors to fly open.
Looking for a Dream Life:
A few days ago, I received an email from a friend asking for any advice, information I might have about a serious affliction her friend was dealing with.
According to the MRI, this friend had several discs out of place in her neck and her tendons looked like they were pulled and scratched to high heaven.
I mentioned that this part of the body is the area that will hold anything that we are not attending to related to our “speaking our truth,” “living our truth,” and “being our truth.”
Over the years, I’ve seen countless women (some men, too, but not as many) with gaping energetic holes around their throats. With time, this scratching and clawing will make its appearance on the surface, i.e., the physical.
My friend forwarded the information to her friend and got a response back that said, “I hate my job. I’ve been praying for another door to open.”
Unfortunately, many people are not very good door openers, i.e., receivers. So, God must offer to them what they ask for in the way that they can receive it. If you aren’t a very good receiver, that open door might look like a chicken neck that has been cracked. Or a stint in a major disease.
All of this is UNNECESSARY, and one of the reasons I’m so PASSIONATE about helping people learn to love themselves. The better you are at receiving, the more that God can gift you and deliver to you all that you desire.
Oh, but that also means you are asking, too! Ask and receive… practice it with me… say it aloud… ASK AND RECEIVE – it starts with ME!
I remember when I was beginning to learn this. I was TERRIBLE at receiving. Oh, yes, I was a WORLD CLASS giver, but a HORRIBLE RECEIVER of giving! Every part of my body felt awkward about accepting something without giving something in return. But, I plunged ahead with my spirit teachers urging me on. Now, I can receive gratefully and happily. It is a joy to allow others to give to me realizing that love can be the only thing between us.
What I didn’t know then that I do know now is that giving and receiving is a big circle. You can’t give without receiving and you can’t receive without giving. So, when you think you are receiving without actually giving something in return – think again. You already have! There’s no debt, no scorekeeping, you’ve done it. Your grateful, easy receiving is the gift to the person giving. Be a GRATEFUL receiver and be a gift to someone else’s giving!
Ask… for what you desire, and realize that asking costs you nothing. Be open to receive in whatever way the item arrives! You just never know. I have so many examples of the creativity of God’s messengers. I’ll share more of those later.
For now…enjoy opening the door to receive as an infinite being worthy of all the gifts of the Universe! And, PLEASE, do not judge the way your gifts flow into your open door!
