~~Surrender~~

August has opened with the powerful planetary alignment of the Grand Cross and with it comes the heightened energy built during the powerful month of July.  The energy has been building since the lunar and solar eclipses (June 26^th and July 11^th) which were the fuel so too speak for the Grand Cross.

In the last week of July while at the office, I lifted a box of files - something I have done hundred's of times.  This time I was "out of alignment" and put my SI joint out.  This is an injury from years ago and I had forgotten how it felt - it was a painful reminder.  I spent the next few days hobbling around and pushing through and telling myself it's no big deal - just get your work done and meet your commitments.

The last weekend of July is a long weekend in Canada - August 1^st is BC Day.  My need to meet my commitments was further interrupted with a migraine headache and what appeared to be the flu - with full on vomiting, sweats, body aches, dizziness. This time I had no choice but to lay quietly and let it be.  During th3 weekend I had my  scheduled whale/dolphin monthly meditation.  The night before I wondered how I was going to even get out of bed - let alone lead a meditation.  I remember asking the whales and dolphins for guidance.

They came through lovingly as they always do and said rather loudly "Surrender"..."Surrender to the process that is before you and allow all resistance to flow from every cell in your body, from every cell you perceive as your planet.  Surrender from the reality you observe as real - at the subatomic level you are made of spinning photons; your body and everything in your world consists of light and information held in wave patterns.

I don't really remember what was said in the meditation, even though it was recorded and I did send it out that day.  What stayed with me continually were the words or more importantly the feeling of "surrender".  There is a profound difference between "feelings" and feeling.  Feeling is the electro-magnetic bridge to your intuitive information and knowing.  Feelings are emotional charges held around experiences, beliefs, programming etc.  Feelings will hold us into a perceived pattern of the charge - whatever it might be.  Feeling allows us to move past the limitation, into the potential of something other than already experienced or determined as real.

With the energy building within the many planetary alignments, the frequency and vibrational waves growing, I decided to examine and relax into what was occurring.  I was very concerned about not getting my article out, not meeting my self imposed obligation.  I didn't feel like I wanted to write anything, and argued with myself about this for several days.  I have a very active left brain and I have a tendency to be in my head - that being said I have an active right brain that allows my imagination to play as well.  Lately with the energy shifts I've been more in my head and this caused me to study and ask some questions. 

Several weeks ago I read an email on the functional differences of our brains from a more quantum level.  I can't remember the author nor can I find the email, at this point I think it was an email - but who knows. The gist of the information was as a review:  our left brain or analytical mind operates in a very linear fashion, putting information into very defined parameters of reality.  It is a censor of sensory awareness in our real world.  Meaning as soon as you name something, observe something we define it then store it, using our left brain. It's where rules find a delicious place to be.

Surrender or letting go is moving outside of the rigid parameters of the left-brain.  Dropping into the sacred space of the heart, will immediately take you into the realm of the right brain. The right brain is that of intuition, creativity, dreams and emotional intelligence and more importantly TRUTH.  Our sacred heart space links the two happily and without a polarized outcome.  I have known this for years but somehow in the past two weeks this truth took on a different deeper expression. 

For several months I have been writing about our sacred heart, lightbody etc and last month was on Allowing. Surrender or letting go of the need to understand the whys or wherefores of our experiences can allow us to begin to trust the more heart-based intelligence that is our soul's song shouting to be heard.  I already knew this but HOW I kept asking...I couldn't seem to think - my usually efficient left brain was mush.

This is what I heard or was shown and I know this isn't new or earth shattering news - but it helped me and I'm assuming it may help you as well - if not then no worr. just take what "feels" right.

"At the quantum level we are fundamentally spinning patterns of light and vibration creating information - we are pure potential, endless possibilities.  Engage your left brain enough to allow it to occupy your censor and then gently align your right brain imagination and see how you feel magic.  Think about something you want to change (occupy the left brain) then drop into your heart (right brain) and see new waves of information or light interfacing  or merging with "you". Stop thinking and let go of the idea of being separate from anything."  Ok this is good but.......

"Get out of your head girl....Visualize or think of a pond.  It's a small pond, it has lovely flowers near it, and it has a calm flat surface (engaging left brain).  Stand at the ponds edge and extend your arm over the centre of the pond.  In your hand is a pebble representing something you wish to change or alter in "some undefined-unscripted" way.  Drop the pebble (let go) and as the pebble creates soft ripples or waves upon the pond - become the pond (right brain) Become the shimmering intersecting waves or patterns of light and information and just "feel".  Feel what? I heard a voice in the distance (my persistent left brain). Feel your imagination and then notice what feels "different" (expanded consciousness) not what feels the same (left brain - limited view of accepted reality)"

Ahhh....what feels different.  Surrender is a word that holds a tremendous charge or morphic field.  Many hold a belief it is giving up a part of themselves to something or someone. In truth from my perspective - surrender is the allowing or letting go and receiving more of our unconscious or higher dimensional patterns of light, wisdom and information into our consciousness for use and expression here and now - En-lighten-ment.

What felt different?  I felt calm and didn't' want to do anything but what I truly wanted.  I didn't want to meet my writing deadline of over 11 years; I didn't even know what I wanted to eat.  I just kept playing in the pond so too speak and let the story of all the energy alignments flow over me. 

As the days of early August continued I felt the collective energy shifting and was aware that many were feeling adrift and sort of stuck.  We are all in this together and we are all connected as I and others have written so many times. Focusing on what has remained the same will keep the pattern of those waves of information co-creating the same.  Focusing on what has changed or is different no matter how small or insignificant allows more of the magic to come forth - which is all around us all the time.  We don't have to be special, have titles, master techniques or any other contrived model in order to access what is truly magic available in every moment. 

This is the "surrender" the whales and dolphins were referring to, the message they shared so lovingly. 

What is interesting and quite funny, is this article started out as being a brief note that I was going to take August off to relax and play and I would reconnect in September.  Now, in the space of a few hours I seem to have written an article none the less.

August lays before us some very potent energy, opportunities and clearly new ways of understanding our process.  Stay in your sacred heart space, trust it to be your truth, listen to what "feels" good and enjoy your "surrender" into you.....
