The Nurturing

Published August 3, 2020 by tindertender

Coming into love for self is a challenge, for most of we have been taught that to consider self as deserving or sacred is selfish …. that we ought to think of others before self.

As the training goes, and as experience tells us, when we deplete our inner resources by constantly filling anothers cup (or others), our own cup becomes depleted.

From a state of depletion, depression occurs, anger happens, even hopelessness …..

The selfless, nurturing the selfish …. it is a form of vampirism that we all participate in, or have at one time.

The human must do what is necessary to ensure the personal, inner cup always be in a state of overflow in order to share, and fill, others cups.

This means self-care is crucial to our existence. Self-love, self-respect, self-care …. taking time with GAIA … she always replenishes us.

Spending time in prayer … not as the church teaches it … but as our Soul and Spirit call us to do.

Yesterday I spent my day drumming, singing and dancing … men played out the heartbeat, drumming in unison, women stood behind them as all sang prayers to Creator for the health, happiness and well-being of our brothers and sisters, our family.

The energy was high, my body electrified as I danced around the drummers and singers, lifting the prayers to Creator, to the very heavens and all who hear.

We shared a community meal, we spoke to each other in a soft way, we listened to each other, leaving behind the chaos of the city … of the square world … and we spent the day in sacred union, one with another, in love, care, compassion.

Release was shared, and blessings given. Two exchanged feathers and their relationship will be observed by the family (all members) for one year and at the end of this time, if everyone approves of their care for one another, they will be wed in the sacred ceremony of the Cherokee.

Observe to what you apply your attention and energy to.

Ask yourself:

Will this situation benefit from my sacred care and contribution for wellness, for happiness?

Or will the receiver use it up and demand more without care or reciprocation?

Our time and attention are the currency of our Spirit, our Soul. It is the most precious gift you can impart to this world and life within it.

Be certain you pay yourself first.

Your cup must remain full, your mind, body, spirit and soul requires that you care for self prior to assisting others … if not, your capacity to do good dwindles, and you become vulnerable to all the negative side effects of an empty cup.

Do not think that someone will come along and fill it for you.

This is our personal responsibility.

So I implore you …. practice self-love and self-care.

Helping others will be so much easier and more powerful when you have plenty to share … and remember … self-care, self-love, is a continuous, evolving process.

It is time to develop new, healthier habits.

Release the old ways … recognize the Sacred in you.

Practice forgiveness for self and others.

Begin again.

Wee Hours Sleepy ‘Write’ Session

Published August 1, 2020 by tindertender

My favorite four letter words are Love and Care.

Salt water taffy. Not good for the teeth or body. It’s artificial goodness similar to our addiction to certain relationships. We may love them, yet it does not change the fact that they be toxic for us. Sometimes, in epic proportions.

No One? Or ALL? Perhaps they are one and the same, opposing ends of the same polar scale, different expressions.

Our men are beautiful … our warriors, and our lovers. May peace and harmony and a sense of balance arrive for the masculine and feminine … in each person, and between physical gender ‘forms’.

If there is guilt in the mind and heart, it is the Souls request to behave in a different manner.

Watch the Cat

Your thoughts are Sacred, honor your mind.

Stubborn WILL sometimes gets in the way of humility. Obstinacy shuts doors and ends relationships … which is sometimes necessary, just as careful determination is.

Round and round we go, where we’ll wind up, nobody knows … because we never wind up anywhere, due to the constant cycle of upward momentum, experienced by all.

Be mindful of how you approach people in word or deed … the reciprocation will be according to effort given.

Life is a flow experience, constantly shifting and morphing into something, someone, new. When traits are seen in others, please know, these trait also reside in you … you would not recognize them otherwise. Once this is understood, it’s easier to hold compassion for those we encounter.

Observation is key. Not only of others, but of self, whether it is deemed a positive or a negative.

Everything that is wrong with this world is not just out there. When we accept responsibility for our output, either before, or after a brief tantrum, we can understand our progress in ‘process’.

Sometimes I feel like that crazy cat who runs up a tree chasing birds. Gotta talk myself down, get out of the tree and stand on the ground.

LOVE

Published July 31, 2020 by tindertender

LOVE reaches beyond gender, race or species.

LOVE is simple, yet it requires full release of expectation, replaced by a surety that we are all from the same substance.

Let us practice being Lovers rather than destroyers.

Our Children Too

This incredible photo marks the end of Matador Torero Álvaro Múnera’s career. He collapsed in remorse mid-fight when he realized he was having to prompt this otherwise gentle beast to fight. He went on to become an avid opponent of bullfights. Even grievously wounded by picadors, he did not attack this man.

Torrero Munera is quoted as saying of this moment: “And suddenly, I looked at the bull. He had this innocence that all animals have in their eyes, and he looked at me with this pleading. It was like a cry for justice, deep down inside of me. I describe it as being like a prayer – because if one confesses, it is hoped, that one is forgiven. I felt like the worst shit on earth.”

Kindness Above All

Published July 22, 2020 by tindertender

It is very clear to most of us that we are a part of something humongous happening on planet Earth. The Ascension impacts everyone and has personal implications that hold different meanings that are very intimate to each person.

Connecting with your Soul, Connecting with God Source is very personal. As a part of the human race we all know what it means to suffer horribly in pain and feel completely alone in the darkness. As we endure this Ascension Cycle, remember, it is about Kindness Above All. Honor where you are at, take the time you need, allow yourself the space to heal and find the kindness for yourself.

As you strengthen your core and can expand your sphere of influence, then practice random acts of kindness towards others. One second of criticism, sarcasm, belittling, or hateful words can mar and scar a child and a person for life. One second of kindness can elevate a child or person to accomplish greatness that allows them to find their soul.

Healing Isn’t Pretty

Published July 20, 2020 by tindertender

When we begin to dive deep into our being, seeing our self fully, it can cause some unsettling emotional issues.

Denial … that’s usually the first step. We try to tell our self that what others see and report about us is false. We may accuse them of lying. Saying it just to be hurtful. We might even try to hurt them in return.

Anger … we get mad and reject anyone or thing that makes us look at the negative behaviors or patterns we exhibit.

Blame … we blame others for our behavior. It’s all someone else’s fault we are the way we are.

Sadness or depression … once we DO look inside, if we are honest with ourselves, we might begin to see the truth … that perhaps everyone else isn’t wrong after all. How can they ALL be wrong?

We can swing between depression, anger, sadness and blame for quite some time before we begin to accept responsibility for our words and actions … before we are able to admit that there is a lot of inner work needing done.

So we begin to take a good look at our self.

We choose to reformat our character, to ‘raise’ ourself differently, to parent our broken or injured inner child.

We learn to become a friend to self.

We might even begin to love our self … but that usually only comes after realizing we have actually hated our self, or acted like we did anyway.

Healing is a tough journey.

It is said that growing old isn’t for sissy’s.

But I say taking a good hard look at the truth of our self is the hardest and most challenging thing we’ll ever do …

Should one choose to.

My healing journey began more than 20 years ago. I’m only now emerging from the well … that deep well of binding thought and hindering emotional baggage.

May your journey be quicker than mine, yet equally thorough.

Bless you as you heal.
