Yesterday was my 63rd birthday, and I feel like I haven’t even begun what I came here to do. It’s a good feeling to know and acknowledge that everything has led me to this point. I am excited about the next leg of my journey and imagine that my body and I will experience even more joy, ease, enriching experiences, abundant goodness, love, and enlightenment. How do I know this? It’s what I intend.
My One Birthday Gift for You
If there was one birthday gift I would give you it would be an understanding that you and your body together are one co-creative being, here and now, experiencing life in a world of form AND that this is how the Earth experience is designed. Earth is a natural world of form, and when you look closely at how nature operates, then you, too, will know how the same natural laws operate in your life. After you have this awareness, there will be no reason for you to be out of the flow of Source energy, and everything you create will be authentic to you and consistent with your “piece” of the Divine Plan.
Your Body Is Your Biggest Ally
On your journey to remembering who you are, your body is your biggest ally. He or she temporarily has accepted limitation in order for you to understand how choice making in duality works, i.e., hot/cold, good/evil, white/black, male/female, on/off. Your body accepts the conditioning/programming that maintains these limitations so that you can have enriching experiences, filled with a full spectrum of emotions. This is a gift that many in the One and Many Universes vie for. Only those cutting edge explorers who are willing to experience the heights of ecstasy and the depths of despair are welcome on this planet.
When you get to the point in your journey, when all you perceive is the NOT of your experiences, i.e., “This is NOT what I want to be, do, have,” and you feel sick and tired of being sick and tired, then, a door opens into a different reality scape. Then, the unwinding of conditioning begins.
For most, this begins on the spiritual level, because if you don’t know who your higher power is, then you are unlikely to clear any other disconnections you have. Once you have related to the unique aspect of Source that demonstrates that everything is connected, you will likely find a mind-clearing method. Many at this point in their evolution learn to meditate, as the quiet mind who no longer judges, allows the flow of inspiration from Source. Simultaneously, as memories from the past come up for review and release, the emotions connected to these events arise. If you allow yourself to feel every emotion up for review, with the sure knowledge that only love lasts forever, then flow, too, is reestablished in the emotional body. The heart and mind become one. Finally, the last step in the process is to allow your body to clear cellular memories of trauma, conditioning, and programming. (Mostly this is where I am in my process, for those with inquiring minds.)
What I Learned during This Process
I can’t give you every nuance of how my consciousness expanded on my journey thus far in one post. So, let me focus on who I think is the most important partner in this co-creative relationship between the Spiritual and the Material — my body. To be frank, it surprised me that my body took on so much trauma, suffering, conditioning, and programming, all for my benefit. In the past, I treated my body like it was a retarded puppy. It wasn’t doing what I wanted it to do. I judged my body harshly as being bad, wrong, defective. No wonder, she didn’t feel very well and wasn’t very happy. After all, most of the things I actually said, she had heard before from members of my family. So, in some sense, I reinforced her conditioning toward limitations.
Once I realized that without her and her consciousness, the ego that many systems say must be eradicated at all costs so that the soul can escape into heaven, I would not be mobile, communicating, and participating in experiences in the world of form. That realization really woke me up to the blessing of my body, and I started watching how I treated her. I began the process of letting go of other people’s opinions of who she was, since I had very few original thoughts on my body, and watching how I treated her and what I said to her. I made my relationship with my body one of my priorities.
During this process, I also realized why many of the “get me what I want when I want it right now, without me having to work for any of this” systems don’t work. We create affirmations for abundance, treasure maps for goodies, clear our judgments about money, make friends with wealth, for the most part as just a mental and emotional exercise. Then, we get really frustrated when these practices don’t work for everyone, or don’t work all of the time.
The nugget of gold I learned as I stepped through this part of my journey is that as an Infinite Spiritual being, I am it all, I do it all, and I have it all now. (No wonder some of my guides who had never experienced Earth thought my requests for material comfort were nuts.) The more enriching experiences I had asked for were for my body. She was the one who wanted better food, more water, certain supplements, colorful clothes, new shoes, to go on vacation. Once you figure out that you are in a world of form, and that experiences are designed to take advantage of material reality, then you’ll understand that being in your body is the whole game here, and you’ll be glad to co-creatively care for your body.
So, I end this post with one or two suggestions that I hope will help you as much as they helped me:
- Look in the mirror at your body, nude if you think you can, and just tell him/her you love him/her exactly as he/she is. Allow you both to cry together. Do this practice periodically. One day you both will look into each other’s eyes and smile, and then you’ll wonder why you ever felt alone when you have such a wonderful partner in your body.
- Shift all of your practices about creating more enriching material experiences to focus on creating more enriching material experiences for your body. Believe it or not, the Source, Mother Earth, and all their agents of change will understand totally when you say, “My body wants a pair of new red shoes. What would it take for this to happen?” Then, stand back and watch the shoes come to him/her with a dance of joy. After all, shaking your bootie is a physical activity!
- When you start supporting your body and relax and allow the Earth experience for you both, start noticing how life shifts for the better. Even when challenges come your way, you’ll kick it into neutral with your body, and the solutions will come to you with more ease and grace. Acknowledge what you appreciate about these small daily miracles. Remember, a grateful, praising partner in co-creation is so much more attractive than an angry, frustrated harpy.
It has been a pleasure sharing these words with you this evening. May you live authentically in the sheer joy of creation. Melody-Rose
