Feeling low energy, lately? Wishing for naps or lay-about weekends? There could be any number of reasons, and if it’s just that you need some rest, then you should honor that and do so. But if you’ve been getting enough sleep and taking care of yourself in general, you might ask whether you have some stuck creative energy which is weighing you down.
Recently, I’ve been feeling more energized throughout the day and especially enthusiastic about greeting the day’s tasks. I started to wonder, “Where is all this energy coming from?” I didn’t have any pivotal events in my life recently nor am I conscious of any major breakthroughs that would explain feeling more buoyed up. But I have been feeling more at ease and in the flow, willing to follow where my energy takes me. Then, it hit me: this is creative energy I’m feeling! My subtle shift into a greater willingness to go-with-the-flow has allowed a release of previously blocked or stifled creative energy.
It wasn’t that I cleared a big block or made a huge change. I simply made enough subtle shifts toward greater openness and allowing the unknown that energy I wasn’t letting myself fully express started flowing out into various nooks and crannies of my life. I didn’t suddenly start a massive art project or begin a years-long study of a new language. I simply reached a tipping point which allowed energy I’d been holding back to flow forward and seep into unexpected areas of my life. On the outside, it doesn’t look like much has changed. On the inner, it feels so much more fluid, engaging, imaginative, uplifting and, at the same time, soothing and full of ease.
My day is flowing more freely and spontaneously. I feel more connected with my environment. I’m more willing to try things a different way or look at situations from a new perspective. I’m much more present and in the moment.
All of this is actually creative energy! Let go of the idea that your creativity has to channel into a physical, definable project with an end goal. Creativity is for every moment, even the smallest or most routine. It wants to flow. We need it to flow for our health, well-being and spiritual evolution. Don’t store it up to spend on some big, planned project or special event in the future. Let it flow now, right now, in any form it chooses. Creative flow absolutely attracts more creative energy in an infinite, self-expanding loop. As we give of our energy, so shall we receive. This is universal law. So, let it flow!

Walking on a path through open space today, I spotted a bright yellow cluster of leaves amid a forest of deep green. I wondered, “Why those particular leaves first?” Out of all the trees lining the path and all the green still on this one tree, these few leaves volunteered to be the first to stop producing chlorophyll in preparation for Fall. In its innate wisdom, this tree knew that it was time to start shutting down, and in their innate wisdom, these leaves knew they were best place to start. They were in complete sync with the needs of the entire organism and surrendered to the transition.
What would happen if these leaves feared being the first to brown and die, so they refused to change? What would happen if these leaves believed that going first meant they were the best and decided to start changing too early, throwing off the equilibrium of the tree and threatening its health? We know what would happen because our human egos make decisions from these types of emotions and reasoning. This kind of decision making is what damages relationships, creates inequities in community resources and causes massive turmoil throughout the planetary environment.
What would happen if we could surrender fully to the flow of life, free of judgment or fear? Connect with the peace and freedom of honoring that flow. We talk about honoring each season for its natural rhythm, but we can also honor the transition of the seasons, allowing ourselves to be in sync with the temporary imbalances of seasonal change.
This month, I invite you to celebrate the transition of one season to another. There is value in the transition itself. Before you jump from the essence of summer into the energy of autumn, enjoy the uncertainty and variety in this time of change. What is this season of change teaching you? In nature, this time of year is marked by some days starting with a sharp crisp in the air while others reflect the diminishing warm days of summer. Sometimes the bustling energy of the coming harvest is called for and other times bring us back to the lazy relaxation of hot summer. Look for parallel shifts in your own life and focus on being in sync with them.
Celebrate the unique rhythm and essence of transition itself. Feel the total, absolute peace of surrender to the process of change. The nature of the universe is constant motion, and you are the essence of the universe. You are movement itself. Relish the experience. Enjoy the ride.

I was prompted to ask myself the question “What do you know for sure?” while watching Oprah Winfrey’s “Super Soul Sunday”. This is a question she frequently likes to ask her guests. Unsurprisingly, the answers are often simple and quite similar in their essence but always profound. If you ask this of yourself at different times, you may hear variations on the theme, depending on what is being highlighted in your life and what you most need to remember at that time. But, when you ask with a genuinely open heart, you will always hear Divine Truth and you will hear exactly what is perfect for that moment.
What do I know for sure? When I asked this of my Soul this time, the answer came that we are all created out of Love and that same Love is from the one Source which is the essence of who we all are. In that moment, I knew it to be absolute divine truth, but I also realized that I do not always fully experience this. I was reminded that while I do know it to be true on one level, I don’t always believe it to be true on other levels and therefore do not always see it out-pictured in my world. But that experience is my creation, not the world’s. When I allow the outer world to distract me from what I know, my mind fills the vacuum by falling back into old habits of belief in separation and judgment. The moment I quiet my mind and re-connect with my inner truth, what I know for sure, I bring my vibration back into alignment with my divine self.
Re-connect with what you know for sure and allow that truth to anchor you permanently in divine reality. Hold yourself firmly to that anchor, especially in times of stress and fear when the “false evidence appearing real” is starting to pull you out of alignment, and use that anchor as your unshakeable touchstone and guidepost for your actions and words. Your response to “What do I know for sure?” is one of the most powerful statements in the universe because to answer it is not just to believe it but to know and vibrate that truth through your whole being. That statement becomes your creation.

Recently, while struggling to let go of some old patterns I’ve been holding for a long time, I heard my wise self asking me, “Are you willing to allow yourself to be human?” In that moment, I realized that I had become too focused on who I wanted to be and was not honoring the brilliance of who I am now.
As Lightworkers, we may find ourselves focused so much on remembering our divinity that we forget to honor and celebrate our humanity. Humans are unique expressions of Source. Human nature is fully divine, though we may each be in different stages of living that truth. Celebrating our uniqueness as humans is part of honoring and celebrating our divinity.
To the ancient Egyptians, the word “hu” was the original creation word and “man” is the physical form of that creation. To be human is, in the universal sense that transcends gender, to be a god-man, a creator being of Source. Our divinity expresses in our human creations. While humor is divine, laughter and tears are uniquely human. Beauty may be a cosmic force but admiring the brilliant colors in a sunset is a human activity. Love is truly universal, but a soft touch or a warm hug are very human experiences.
While it is still our path to continue healing those parts of our humanity which are in separation, it is also our path to enjoy this very unique experience of being human while we’re here on this Earth. Parts of our humanity may still be rooted in the illusion but they are also our keys to remembering ourselves as Source if we can freely embrace and understand them more deeply. It may be time to take a moment and ask yourself: Am I allowing myself to be human?

As Memorial Day approaches, I’ve been thinking on how I can expand the ways I’m holding the energy of remembrance with gratitude. This time of year is an excellent opportunity to reflect on all who have gone before me and created something in the world from which I’ve benefitted. That might include military personnel or social activists or parents or spiritual masters. It might include all who have contributed to expanding Light for the planet (and the universe!) in their unique way.
If you’re guided, you might take time in your next meditation to send thanks to those who have contributed in unseen but potentially powerful ways to your wellbeing and evolution. We have all heard of the butterfly effect, that the smallest action anywhere on the planet can create great change for us all because we are all connected as aspects of Source. As Lightworkers, we hold the intention to be guided by what serves the highest good of all. But it’s also important to acknowledge with gratitude that same intention in others. These acts of remembrance unite us by strengthening our awareness of our oneness.
When we send healing energy to others, we are doing our part in service to those who will likely never know of our intentions. When we give thanks for those who have given to us in service in so many unseen ways, we are completing the circle and keeping Source energy flowing. We can use this national holiday as a reminder to honor all who have given service to the planet and to the universe, but the good news is that we don’t need to wait for a date on the calendar to live from this consciousness every day.
With deep gratitude to each of you for your unique acts of quiet service.
