It's been a while since my last post and I apologize to my readers for that. To be honest, I've found myself distracted by life the past couple weeks. I kept telling myself I needed to wait until I was in a place of inspiration to write again. Moments came and went and I experienced all sorts of emotions ranging from irritable to ecstatic. It's always a gentle reminder that as I venture down this path, I am still human with a sometimes weak heart and impatient mind. I too allow for life to become bigger than I, finding myself lost in the mess of it all. But someone how I come out again, and usually with an even clearer mind and stronger intention. I tell you this because I made a commitment to be honest with you. I admit that this is a journey for me and that I will stumble into times of difficulty and confusion and I will call on YOU my readers, invested souls and beings of support. What I remind my self of, in these times of disconnect, is that I accept myself, all of myself, in this moment and allow for the possibility of change. I acknowledge the feelings of doubt that may have crept in and then work to dismantle and dissolve them. But that takes time and also a dedication that sometimes waivers. Alas, tonight I think I broke through, woke back up and came out of it. What's funny is that during this lull, I experienced some physical discomfort as well. I don't often get sick, but I noticed the icky feelings of an oncoming cold. I felt a bit fatigued, sore throat, cough. I personally do not doubt that these were the physical manifestations of my emotional discontent.
I am certain that I experienced this disconnect as a way to deepen my personal growth. I practiced breathing in times of stress and reminding myself that even with a lot of junk swirling around, I really only had control over this current moment. Yoga was a place of refuge for me, allowing me to practice training my mind to stay with the present moment even during discomfort and pain. I allowed myself to accept the uncomfortable feelings of insecurity, even anger and sadness. Through acceptance I have been able to move through these feelings and notice them slowly dissolve.
So during this time I thought about how I could stay connected with you all, even though I wasn't feeling truly inspired to write. I realized that not every post needs to be from MY heart. That I could use this as a vehicle to share wisdom that others have shared with me. I chose the following pieces of wisdom, because I feel they are relevant to where we are in this discussion. They are in no particular order and are offered to you to ponder, meditate on, file away for times of need. I hope they ignite in you what has been ignited in me, an ever lasting pilot light of calm, confident inspiration and bliss. Please feel free to share your comments, reactions and your own pieces of wisdom with us as well.
Message from Archangel Micheal:
"The how is not what matters. "How am I going to do this?" Focus simply on the knowing that you can. Trust that your Soul knows exactly what to do, how to do it, and when to do it. Everything will fall into place from there."
"Remembering is like the knowingness that wells up inside you. Call for that knowingness, find it, and pay attention to it, and it will tell you clearly what you want to know. Call for that knowingness, and it will allow you to feel loved beyond imagination, eradicating pain, lonliness, and unworthiness. Set your doubts aside as to whatever that knowingness within may be; it's as real as you are, because it's what you are."

"You are beautiful. Your body is strong, healthy, and most of all beautifully unique. No one else looks like you, nor can they radiate the beauty that you can. Free yourself sister, from the tangled web of doubt and insecurity and as they unravel, let them go so that you may soar into new realms of self love.
Embrace self-love!!"
Emily Tretter
Namaste.
