Having just returned from our retreat in Ireland, I am in love. I’m reminded that the the Great Source has a great heart. Only a divine artist with such a huge longing would have the beauty and tenderness to create such a wonderful magic land.
I was taken by surprise in how deeply touched I was by the kindness and generosity of spirit in a country having endured such profound harshship. I never imagined I would feel such a belonging of soul that tapped me as I walked in the land of the Celtic mystic.
Amongst nature we come to remember the wisdom of our own inner landscape. There is a great healing in the wild when you bring your clay body back to its roots of mother earth.
Spend a week in the mountains or by the ocean and your body starts to unclench, your mind loosens its grip and your soul starts to expand in a vibrational pulse. You recover your deeper rhythm. And a harmonious melody will begin to be expressed in joyous laughter.
This week was spent with amazing souls sharing the wonders of this special place. Our normal agendas, daily lists of tasks, and our collective worries started to fall away and together we celebrated.
We were able to feel the magnitude and magic of being together and sharing the heart of this great prayer. The prayer of offering our collective intentions for the wellbeing of all.
There is no greater affirmation of this joint effort of our hearts than the magic of rainbows! Yes, our daily JOY arose from our excitement and awe in shouting,”Rainbow ALERT”. Rainbows and double rainbows offering their sweet innocent reminders that life is full with possibilities.
I continue to hold these images in my daily meditation and smile as I experience the absorption of qualities these special arches of illuminated colors inspire in me. Rainbows offer hope, the reminder that beginnings and endings continue as one beautiful circle. That for every loss there is a new welcoming.
Rainbows reveal the colors of the chakra system aiding in healing the energic bodies. After every adversity in my life, I would struggle to regain a sense of understanding. I would suffer in my inability to move forward and a rainbow would appear, and once again I would be given a sign that “this too will pass.”
Rainbows are impermanent and fleeting; we feel lucky to have been the witness. To experience the rainbow offers wonder and joy and a feeling a being blessed. Something auspicious is awaiting just beyond the next bend in the road.
At a time when our world is suffering with so much pain of confusion and uncertainty, the rainbow offers a glimmer of something positive. Maybe, there is a pot of gold that is awaiting, and maybe that pot of gold is in our own hearts. And maybe, that gold is the glow of the heart!
I returned with a renewed sense of wellbeing for all mankind. Maybe it’s not about me at all, but by witnessing and sharing the rainbow, we can offer hope to others. Within the suffering, we can be the joyful rainbow that shifts the mind from the darkness of despair to the light of a new frontier for all humanity. We can shift the mind from the pain of burden to the truth of blessing.
I love the magic of possibility which fills my soul with enthusiasm. I love the tools of yoga which offer a gateway for seeking the light of our inner rainbow.
Settling into this season of shorter days and longer nights, let’s remember to light our own inner flame and go into our daily life sharing the glow. Let’s celebrate that nature is always providing the secrets to the soul. …And let’s continue to be on rainbow alert!!
Blessings.
