As Her Time draws ever nearer, her Heart deep in reflection she continues to prepare herself to come into Balance with the One Light. It has been a lonely time as she has descended from her Throne making little connection with the world around her. She has been busy, yes; she has been sociable, yes; and countless souls have sought her counsel, yes; but she walks alone as she ends her journey, just as she did, eighteen months ago when this path first started.<\/p>\n

The intensity of this past week\u2019s emotional heart strings has been a necessary journey as she prepares to cross the bridge and leave this stage of her life behind her. Reflection, old heart-patterns and scripts, loneliness, regret and sadness have dominated her heart\u2019s consciousness as she attempts to make sense of the \u2018why\u2019.<\/p>\n

Has she truly opened her Heart and let Spirit flow through her? Has she truly cared for herself, thereby enabling her to truly care for those in her world? Has she truly spoken lOve, even during times of unkindness, sadness, anger and frustration?<\/p>\n

What has she learnt? What has she truly embodied? Lost in thought, she knows that it is important to come up with a mantra that will be her totem for the coming year. From somewhere deep within her a Voice whispers \u2013 it is very simple; what you feel, colours your thought; what you think, colours your perception; what you perceive, colours your reality; what your reality is, defines your world\u2026<\/p>\n

And it dawns on her – So shall it be felt shall be expressed<\/p>\n

Her heart uplifted, her weariness lifting, she continues to descend towards the One Light, uttering her Mantra, aligning her heart with her Mind, weaving her perception and reality with feelings of lOve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
