Spiritual meaning of Auroras

The Spiritual Meaning of Aurora Borealis. 🌈

The entire world has witnessed the incredible, profound and awe-inspiring display of the Aurora Borealis over the past few days of May 2024. In many spiritual traditions, indigenous cultures and folklore there are various spiritual meanings.

Across indigenous cultures the Aurora Borealis is believed to be the spirits of the ancestors or messages from celestial beings, as a sign of a coming period of transformation, renewal and spiritual awakening.

In other spiritual traditions the Aurora Borealis is seen as an influx of light and higher spiritual energies to assist in the ascension, enlightenment and awakening of humanity to higher levels of consciousness.

In other folklore the Aurora Borealis is considered a divine phenomenon and a bridge between the mortal world and the divine realms.

The word ‘aurora’ orginates from the Latin word ‘dawn’ which means new beginnings and illumination.

Dawn ~ noun: the beginning of a phenomenon or period of time, especially one considered favourable.

Emotionally Naked

Getting physically naked is easy enough to do. It can be done before complete strangers.

But getting emotionally and psychically naked in front of another, and being seen and appreciated and held as we are, bearing our soul, our fears and our traumas and our shames and our shadows … that’s intimacy.

And there is no limit to the depth of intimacy to be discovered, and uncovered, in that regard. No end to the number of times we could fall in love with the same person who dares to bear their soul to us, and ours to them.

And unless, and until, we dare to do that, down to our deepest core, exposing our everything… we will seek compensation in the shallows, and falsely call that “intimacy.”

Falling in love

“We don’t fall in love with people because they’re good people. We fall in love with people whose darkness we recognise. You can fall in love with a person for all of the right reasons, but that kind of love can still fall apart. But when you fall in love with a person because your monsters have found a home in them– that’s the kind of love that owns your skin and bones. Love, I am convinced, is found in the darkness. It is the candle in the night.”❤

Conscious Kiss

This Conscious Kiss

For so many of us kissing is a prelude, something we do that leads to something else. And for some people it’s something they have to do to get to the next step.

Conscious Kissing is its own incredible moment of being. There is nothing else other than the delicious sensation, the feeling, the taste of our mouths.

Kissing is one of the most intimate acts we can share with a partner, in fact there are times when kissing is more intimate than sex. Kissing brings us closer together than anything. Because kissing is so intimate, it also expresses our emotional state.

Kissing is the sharing of our essence. In the exchange of fluids and breath we mix ourselves with our lovers.

Our kiss is a communication. As well as being arousing it’s a journey we take our partners and ourselves on. In the delicate touch of lips and tongues we tell where we are. Our intention, our love and our desire are communicated in the moment.

We can bring ourselves into presence during our kiss. It’s not just a prelude to sex, rather a world of sensation and emotion on its own. When we’re present during a kiss it has no need to go anywhere, be anything other than the beautiful connection it is.

We can ride the waves of gentleness and fire, kissing slow and soft, hard and deep and urgent. Our mouths become the expression of all that is within us at that moment. My hand in your hair pulling you to me as I share my fire with you. My hands on your face surrounding you, enclosing us in connection.

Kissing is playing, celebrating our joy in each other.

Kissing is sex and lovemaking on its own. We get lost in the taste, in the sensation. My whole body, my whole being, my heart is expressed in my kiss. It’s a dance of energy as we move in and out and around each other. It’s the song of our intimacy in our sighs and our moans. And it’s the portal to lovemaking divine in the sacred element of our kiss.

There are reflexology points on the tongue.

There is a connection between the tongue and the brain. We often hold a great deal of tension in our tongues, which is linked to tension in the jaws. The more relaxed your tongue can be, the quieter your mind can become.

Kissing becomes a meditation, on sensuality, on presence.

When I teach massage and touch it begins with a Heart Connection.

You can do the same with your mouth.

Connect with your Heart, feel your Heart Centre in the middle of your chest.

Maybe even put your hands there.

As you breathe, imagine that you’re breathing in to your Heart.

There might be a feeing, a sensation, a warmth, a colour…

As you breathe, allow that to get stronger, brighter, more intense…

Then as you breathe, allow that to move to your mouth, let it be in your lips, in your tongue, in your teeth, everywhere…

When your mind wanders during your kiss, come back to your breath.

Then focus on the feelings and sensations you’re experiencing. This will intensify the moment.

Look into your lover’s eyes.

Bring the energy from your Heart into your gaze.

Approach them slowly.

Allow the first moment to be soft, to be gentle, a greeting, a melting…

Explore all of their mouth, their lips, their teeth, their tongue…

Suck their top lip into your mouth, then their bottom lip…

Gently bite and nibble their lips, then not so gently…

As you suck their top lip, they suck your bottom lip…

Be absolutely passive, allow them to kiss and explore you, to lick your lips, circle their tongue on your lips, in your mouth…

Mirror each other’s dance, whatever they do, you do…

Sigh your breath, your moan, your love, your desire into their mouth…

Slowly, so slowly you kiss…

And then a wave of passion as I grab you with my arms, squeeze you as I kiss you hard and deep…

Change your position, the angle of your mouth on theirs…

Laugh as you kiss…

Look into each other’s eyes as you kiss…

Suck their tongue into your mouth…

Surround their mouth with yours…

Lick outside their lips…

Kiss from your heart, it will be an expression of your love.

Don’t Betray yourself

You cannot build a relationship with someone who ignores you, your phone calls, or your texts.

And you cannot build a relationship with someone who won’t talk about the future with you, or make plans with you.

And you certainly cannot build a relationship with someone who isn’t willing to communicate and have the necessary conversations.

But it is not your job to try to convince someone to be different.

And it’s not your job to convince someone of your value, and of your worth.

Your only job is to be a protector of your heart, and of your boundaries.

And you need to challenge yourself to be that protector.

And the first step in loving yourself is the boundary of goodbye.

And you will be fine!

There will be someone else, and yes.. you can handle the loneliness of going back out there again.

Anything is better than betraying yourself to be in something that is going nowhere.

3 Stages in Relationships

Every relationship has three stages…

The first one is the easiest to get through, everything is beautiful, everything is pink, you see unicorns everywhere, there is a lot of kissing, chemistry, attraction, skin, wanting more…

The second is the most difficult, doubts begin to appear, they begin to recognize their imperfections, what lies behind the stun of infatuation that does not allow one to see clearly…

At this stage, most people give up, give up, give up…

The third one is the last and the most beautiful…

Because you accept that you have flaws and that the other one does too, you fall in love with the person, who they are, not what they look like, you fall in love with their flaws, their imperfections, you fix things by talking, you understand that SOS with someone is supporting and caring about each other…

You don’t enter the third stage with just anyone…

Not everyone is shown your soul, and your inner self, and stays…

Only those couples who are more than couples are teams…

Only those who understand that love is freedom, peace…that, for the magic to last, it does not have to be screwed up with tricks…

I hope you will make it…

The meaning of true love from a man

The meaning of true love from a man.

I hate to say this but most women will go their entire lifetime and never experience the meaning of actual true love.

It’s even slightly depressing to think that most people will never understand how powerful this picture actually is.

This gentleman is a prime example of how men should be treating their partner with everyday that passes.

We unfortunately live in a generation with men who have no idea what it takes to be a real man.

Let me give you a couple examples of a real man ……

A real man asks about your day and genuinely cares about the answer.

A real man respects your boundaries and never forces you to anything you’re not ready to do.

He makes time for you, and takes that time to learn and understand who you are as a person.

A real man consistently shows you the definition of effort with every day that passes.

He will call you randomly throughout the day just to check on you and your mental health.

A real man is undeniably committed to you and looks for new ways to fall in love with you with every day that passes.

He makes protecting your heart a number one priority.

A real man never makes permanent decisions based on temporary emotions.

He never confuses you on where you stand in his life.

A real man apologizes when he is wrong and stays true to his character.

He doesn’t mind hurting other people’s feeling to protect yours.

A real man gives you affection without sexual expectation.

A real man refuses to entertain any women that isn’t you.

He has genuine intentions with you from day one and shows you how it truly feels to be a priority rather an option.

A real man will help you heal from the trauma that nobody apologized for.

A real man values you and would never put themselves in a position to lose you.

Take my advice and wait for the man that never let’s you fall asleep at night questioning your own self worth.

Begin Again

Begin again.

Little moments.

Tending to the flowers.

Cutting the fruit.

Opening the curtains so that the entire sky can greet you.

It’s never easy but, no matter.

Steam from the tea so quiet.

An open book, and door, and arms.

You have time.

Time to create a life that you can stand up straight in. Even though life may beat you down. Hard. Even though things, situations, and people you love may be taken away from you so that your arms can memorize the grace of letting them go. Even then, especially then, begin again.

Remind yourself that nothing really dies, rather, it transforms. Everything and everyone you have ever loved lives in the mysterious memory of your cells. Turning. Healing. Renewing itself. Until one day, a photograph of something or someone very dear, long gone, visits your mind and you bow your head with appreciation.

Meanwhile, take your pain to the sea and your trouble to the mountain.

Leave it there and walk home clean.

When failure knocks and rattles and quakes, let it.

Watch it make a fresh canvas of you.

Failure, that great teacher, is kinder if you thank her as you are getting up off the floor. She knows something that you don’t know: that she is usually the last face you will see before breaking through. Such a little light in the crack of the door.

But today, if you are wading through the waters of loss or confusion: begin again.

Open the avocado.

Draw the bath.

Call your best friend.

Gather the books.

Play your favorite album.

Write.

Create art.

Open your arms. Move your legs. Lovely, little blessings. Whispering to life that you won’t give up. Not ever.

Mistakes

If milk gets bad, it becomes yogurt. Yogurt is more valuable than milk. If it gets even worse, it turns to cheese. Cheese is more valuable than both yoghurt and milk. And if grape juice turns sour, it transforms into wine, which is even more expensive than grape juice. You are not bad because you made mistakes. Mistakes are the experiences that make you more valuable as a person. Alexander Fleming’s mistake led him to invent Penicillin. Don’t let your mistakes get you down. It is not practice that makes perfect. It is mistakes we learn from that makes perfect!

My Mothers , Mothers Before

“My Mothers , Mothers Before”

It is not just your mother who may walk with you in spirit, it is her mother too. And her mother’s mother. And her mother’s friends, who loved by choice and not blood. And the women before them. Generations and generations of female energy, watching in admiration as you forge ahead living better, feeling better, accepting better, than they ever did. As they were much hoped you would. So, when you feel low, lonely or unloved. Remember them, feel them. They are with you, and they burn brightly with their boundless light, in everything you do. You, my friends, are the ‘moment in time’ of many women gone before, and you will lay pathways, like they did, for those who come up next.

This is not ending but a beginning
