It’s All About the Light


Hey there sunshine...
​
We think it takes a long time to relax.

That it is hard to carve out space in our days to be quiet, to be still — even in movement — to slow down enough to actually be present with ourselves.

But here’s the truth.

It doesn’t take long.

It is simply a choice.

What if one minute to breathe, connect to your heart centre, and feel your body in this moment could open the door to more time and space in your day?

When we are present, our capacities for creation show up.

When we are present, we are less reactionary.

Presence turns off the resistance, the push, the hard, the effort.

Presence opens up ease. Space. Your horizon expands.

But go ahead — imagine it is hard, and then it will be.

Think that you have to force yourself to relax, and force is what you will create.

You are that powerful.

What you think about comes about.

So I am here, on my front step, to invite you into the possibility that space is only a choice away.

I am here to help you find that bridge of ease:

From rushed to relaxed.
From scattered to clear.
From unknown to willing.

And here’s the thing.

If you are like me, choosing to make space for yourself can be harder when you are alone with your own thoughts. But when we gather together, our light grows, the possibilities expand, and more is created.

So come and join me.

Let’s step into the joy-filled possibilities of being here, now, and alive in this moment. Letting go of the habits, and letting in the desires, passions, and dreams of what you truly would like to create.

And your desires do not have to be metropolis-sized — like speaking on the stage at The Sphere with Oprah.

They might be finding golden nuggets of space in your everyday life. Being grateful. Nurturing relationships that feel safe, creative, and honouring. Having time to travel with your mom. Building new friendships with soul sisters. Learning new things. Taking that pottery class. Going for that walk.

We can grow in gratitude together.

So let’s.

How about now?

Now is the perfect time.



A Sacred Sunday Blessing From My Front Steps

Listen to it with the video below, or read it in full a little further down. However you receive it... may it bring you ease and joy.


video preview​
The grackles arrived as a team this morning, pecking and eating and shimmering in the sunlight.
From these front steps, I lit the beeswax candle. I closed my eyes. I felt the sun radiating all around and through me.
​
My shoulders dropped.
I noticed my neck was sore.
I breathed more easily.
​
I imagined myself walking on a pathway to a sacred space in nature. I was blessed by the sun. Sacred friends, ancestors, and guides were with me in this meditation.
​
And what if I told you that you were there too?
You were.
We were all there — relaxing and receiving deeply in this morning meditation prayer.
​
Light was beaming everywhere.
Love was beaming everywhere.
We were all of it and everything.
​
I cried.
Tears of joy and yes and thank you emerged.
Thank you for this day.
Thank you for you.
​
And now I rise.
I rise to this day.
I rise to my calling.
I release that which no longer serves me.
I step into the new.
I receive my strength and health.
I let go of the past.
I receive my future, right here and right now, on my front steps with you.
​
And I invite you to do the same.
​
Follow your path.
Be your desires.
Live from your heart centre.
​
Choose the joy of you.
Be the light of you.
And shine on.
​
I am here to share pathways for people to find their joy and let their light shine.
​
Thank you for being with me in this meditation today.
From my mind and heart to yours, I send you all my love.

​
Shine on.
Brightly shine.

Christine
