Wise-dom like Kingdom or Queendom is a real location. Wisdom is a place in which we can each dwell. Many of us eventually find our way here when we simply honor our own insight and awareness. But sometimes it’s easy to forget the address, lose the directions, believe everyone else knows how to get there but me.
This column is dedicated to all of us who are coming home to our own unique wisdom. We will have the opportunity to share our roadmaps. Intuition will be the navigator, the compass and that little voice that is NOT coming from a computerized GPS!
WISETALK is an invitation to inhabit your own realm of wisdom, to make physical and real your Personal Intuition, that special healing awareness that you brought into this lifetime. To help jump-start this Intuitive Technology in EVERYDAY MAGIC I will recommend activities to assist us in practicing our intuition and enriching and enjoying our lives. (See below.)
This column can become a feast, a virtual crossroads where many paths meet and one special place serves as the gathering point for individual observations. Let us consider creating a virtual community. Let us arrive with our medicine bags full and ready to receive even more from each other.
EVERYDAY MAGIC: To build intuition: start your Intuition Log now. Set aside a notebook or journal, one you have been waiting to use for a special purpose. Beginning today, write down three clear observations you have heard, read or spoken yourself, which express your idea of personal wisdom. Don’t “what if” or “yeah-but” this awareness. Do not edit it. If you had a feeling of “ahhh, aha, or ahmen,” if you thought: “I get it!” that is INTUITION. For now, simply allow yourself to note these things. The lesson here is what you are NOT GOING TO DO: not criticize, dismiss or undo your insights. Gently observe them, without criticism, and with interest.
Until next time-- BE WISE, BE WELL, BE FILLED WITH WONDER!
I have found sense and spirituality in many Native American traditions. One symbol that has helped me understand our life journey is the medicine wheel. "The medicine wheel represents the sacred circle of life, its four directions, and the elements of the earth".
I believe, like the earth we are all in a state of continuous change. As women we are born as infants in the east, we gracefully crawl to the south becoming maidens. As we mature we dance to the west to become adult women. Slowing on our journey to the north, with silvering hair and our bodies relisient with old age, we become elders. Then, smaller and bowed we journey back toward ts the east from where we came, performing our mystery of birth, life and life after death.
I believe my Mother alone orchestrated her very extended time here on earth which she filled to overflowing with energy and a spirit so powerful she touched each person she encountered in a singular and distinctive manner.
I know not the magic that come at the end of our time here on earth, for each of us has our own means of solace and understanding of life and it ending.
My magic will be, that although I'll miss my Mom, I will sense her presence, welcome those moments knowing that all is well with her spirit, she is at peace and where she needs to be, at last.
