One of those red hot aha moments

Have you ever had one of those white-hot AHA!-moments where you suddenly understood something that  had been eluding you?

Well I just had one recently . . .

I am leaving for Lithuania in a few days and I was trying to get everything done before I left. One of those things was opening up my favorite program, Mastering Life.

I’ve been re-working this apprenticeship program for a while now. As I was going through the class material, I suddenly had a flash. I’m really enjoying the updating process and getting excited about these updates, but I’m feeling really pressured to move faster and try to get it done immediately.

Then my little voice suddenly piped up and said, “Allow yourself to fully savor reading and editing this material rather than just getting it done.”

What a relief. Now, while I spend time in my favorite place in the whole world (next to my home in Hawaii) I will savor re-reading and editing, tweaking and changing.

I was amazed that because I wanted to get things done I forgot to take time to smell the roses. Life is after all a journey best savored in the moment. So I am back to savoring and all is well in my world.

With lots of love and aloha,
Susan

Signs of alignment

The main objective of the Toltec tradition is to change our point of creation from our mind to our spirit. When I first began this journey I had a hard time discerning whether my inner guidance was coming from my mind or my spirit. Through trial and error, practice, discipline and dedication over the years it has become much easier.

house addition 059 I am in the process of building an addition to my home. The top floor is going to be my meditation room. I have had some doubts about the need for a third story when two would suffice but I have followed that inner knowing and insisted on the third floor.

Yesterday I came home after several days away. The builder had put the floor on the third story while I was gone so as soon as I got home I climbed up to see the view. I was only there a few minutes when a beautiful rainbow began to appear, slowly at first and then it expanded into a full arch. I took it as a sign from my spirit of well done.

A complete arch

I could have noticed or not, saw it as a sign or not and I could have ignored my desire to document the process and take pictures every day (a miracle for me). What really matters is how I feel energetically, expanded and connected to my spirit or contracted, fear based and disconnected.

And if you notice the sky, the sun is shinning and there was no rain anywhere, unusual conditions for a rainbow!
