'The Direct Path' by Andrew Harvey

Andrew Harvey has written some really interesting lectures. I have discussed in length, many of the very same ideas like 'The Direct Path'. I can't remember who this quote is by but it's something like ~ "It's not the destination that matters, it's the journey". I don't understand when people say, "I just want to be 'there' already". Be where already? And what do you suppose you'll do once everything on that imaginary list is complete and your standing at the 'there' moment? Possibly bored out of your brains and already constructing another list. Do you think that life will stop at that perceived moment and pat you on the shoulder? You have to allow yourself to pat YOU on the shoulder NOW. There will always be something to contend with no matter what life we have chosen; we're living, we're breathing, the world is moving around us. It's all in the perception because as the post below states, we already ARE THERE. We are what we seek - it's all inside us. 

NEWS FLASH ~ there in no such thing as reaching the 'destination' in spiritual or metaphysical terms. Even the Angels themselves are always developing. That thing or happiness which we all strive for is within and realistically you could give it any name under the sun and it's still within your individual soul. Forget materialistic possession for 5 seconds. Concentrate on the here and now (the Earth stuff) because there's plenty of other work when we pass from this life! 

Many blessings, Kris

Mini Australian Animal Reading

Platypus                 Tawny Frogmouth               Whale

Three keepers of ancient wisdom have stepped forward today - there's a very definite pattern here!! Read the mini reading below of whichever animal you are drawn to!

Platypus ~
This majestic and secretive animal is dominated by inner trust, learning to embrace our connection with Mother Earth, have faith in our own power, intuition and wisdom. You have the ability within to make sound decisions, so trust that you are the one with the right answers - not those who may try and sway your decisions. Whatever choices you are faced with currently, there is one that you know is the right path ahead so go with your 'gut' and you can't go wrong! This is a time to focus on yourself and your dreams or goals, be creative and take some time out! Seeking sanctuary (going for a walk etc) is a great way to release those pent up emotions.

Tawny Frogmouth ~
These wonderfully silver night creatures are the keepers of ancient wisdom. They encourage us to seek the knowledge of our elders, sit down and have a chat about their past and share their experiences with you. It's time for family, bringing a cohesion of generations and really sharing that history and love. Now is not the time to turn your back on advice offered by those older than yourself. You may be feeling scattered and lost so seek the advice of your loved ones. It will do you all the world of good! It is also a time to ask the Spirit elders for their guidance. Deep meditation and alone time is equally essential at this time.

Whale ~
This ancient creature is also a keeper of wisdom. The pattern of our ancestors and the deep connection we have with the cycles (day/night, seasons, tides, astrology) are all inherent in the wisdom of the whale. Whale encourages us to look within and reconnect to these ancient patterns. It's time to take those uplifting and spiritually, emotionally and physically beneficial classes you've been thinking about. It's also time to really tune in to your genetic make-up and swing onto the path that you were destined to follow. You are entering an emotionally cleansing time (often quite bumpy and frustrating) where you might not see the light yet. But it is there and ask Whale to help you find the answers that you seek.

Green Sea Turtle Dreaming

A few days ago I had the amazing privilege of working with a clients Green Sea Turtle Power Animal. They really are the most incredibly quirky, resilient, patient and wise creatures. Everything has a time, a place and an element of balance. They speak to us of many ancient rhythms - some we have long forgotten and are slowly reawakening to now. What struck me about this particular power animal was his serenity, if I had to describe him, it seemed as if he were an ancient Monk - with that odd but warm sense of humour. Turtles are patient, they know how to protect themselves and share an innate (as many animals) union with the lunar and celestial movements. There is no rush with turtle energy, it's literally about going with the tides, sensing the seasons and following ancient pathways. Just writing about my experience with this particular turtle brings me to a place of complete peace. Water itself is incredibly cleansing and the turtle highlights the power of listening to the great Mother Earth. I feel very blessed to have shared this energy.

Love and blessings,

Kris
