Fear is the darkness behind the light.
And the raven spoke to me.
Raven will help you to resolve fear and insecurity by imagining that you are Raven and see these negative emotions simply dissolve into nothingness as Raven,
You,
Soar above your darkness restoring once again your light.
Abandoned Abandoned,
Abandonment,
Abandoning,
Abandon how often these words of deep fear their discovery previously oblivious creep into daily life if not to us,
Then to someone around us.
We may never know who is affected by these abusive words now who is suffering now because of them who is striving now to find their way out a way back to safety shores once again who needs our kindness now in the absence of knowing simple kindness now as a way of being where fear no longer exists where life makes sense where trust is possible and abandonment is no more now.
Have you ever felt abandoned afraid or in need of love and admitted this to yourself?
And in admitting it have you experienced something happening shortly afterwards that felt as though you were being shielded from whatever was threatening you?
These are the times to notice that you are being held until you feel better held by something or someone who just happens to come along in the moment you need to be surrounded by a great spirit of love raven soaring above your darkness restoring once again your light It could be a friend or a stranger or a piece of music or a line in a book you are reading as examples These moments of beautifully timed synchronicity are the assurance of my dear friend Cathy McGee's poem which follows O great spirit earth,
Wind,
Sky,
And sea O great spirit all around me all around me And they are the reassurance from the actions of raven that when you are in need you will feel wrapped by a sensation of protection and soothing that is perhaps unexplainable and even surreal connecting you to something much greater than yourself the gift of light behind your darkness Raven will help you to resolve fear and insecurity by imagining that you are raven and see these negative emotions simply dissolve into nothingness as raven,
You,
Soar above your darkness restoring once again your light And the raven spoke to me Raven will wrap her wings around you when you are afraid or desperately in need of love and hold you until you feel better And the raven spoke to me Raven takes pleasure always in the now and meets each challenge head on as an opportunity to restore balance and freedom Raven will lift you up and out of yourself for a period of respite and let you soar above your problems and lighten your load long enough for you to return and make adjustments to how you are doing things The absence of form and activity allow space and time to awaken our deeper senses which sometimes remain unexplored or even wondered about by those who need form and activity to define space and time Yet,
How weary we become when we cannot move above and beyond form and activity when we cannot color outside the lines or feel rhythm counter to the obvious beat or lose ourselves in the breath of inspiration or imagine ourselves in a space beyond the playground of our dreams Sometimes things look clearer from where Raven flies It is essential to allow your mind to have a vacation from time to time to recalibrate and ensure it remains functioning within the light filling the soul with goodness not darkness and fear or to put it another way to let go of the ordinary so as to be able to expand beyond the extraordinary where you can feel rhythm counter to the beat and lose yourself in a breath of inspiration and imagine yourself in a space beyond the playground of your dreams Raven will lift you up and out of yourself for a period of respite and let you soar above your problems and lighten your load long enough for you to return and make adjustments to how you are doing things Is it fear or perhaps superstition that drives us to always do the same things in the same way?
Fear or superstition that makes us think that by doing things otherwise something untoward might happen?
Fear or superstition of letting go of the ordinary and preventing us from expanding to experience the extraordinary?
Fear is a force and even a survival skill It is the energy of fight or flight that can mean the difference between life and death Fear is also an inhibitor It prevents us from being able to see and feel the concept of something more of something beyond what our mindful experience has allowed us to see and feel thus far Being caught up in the energy of fear is a static space of non-growth When our conscious awareness can own and realize that fear has been driving the driving force driving us Fear has been present in many of our decisions and ways of being It is a turning point in our life's experience and possibilities for the future Something beyond the usual Often times this discovery can occur when the body-mind takes a vacation from the ordinary to discover what lies above your problems above the deep crevice of fear Sometimes things look clearer from where raven flies Hearts closed,
Fear prevails Healing possible when hearts open Hearts hurting,
Healing needed Love possible when hearts open Affirming,
Believing,
Trusting,
Knowing All will be well again And the raven spoke to me Raven,
Which can see above and beyond the present will help to shed a new perspective through your eyes Take your feelings into nature Raven's home Where your feelings can be walked in a quiet and safe space outdoors Your tears can flow when they need to flow And the healing power of nature can uplift you again Your light can be restored within you again Your focus can be on positive memories,
Not negative Your positive memories can feed you and comfort you with their warm feelings they create in you Reach out to a friend or family member Remember when you need their presence also or they need yours Allow your fear to dissipate through affirming,
Believing,
Trusting,
Knowing that all will be well again All will be well again The mind is like the nucleus of the soul cell It allows us to fill our soul with goodness and light or darkness and fear This soul effect or feeling we experience in our soul then impacts everything we encounter Remember this And the raven spoke to me Raven,
In restoring the light,
Is the light Fear is the darkness behind the light Be the light Please join me next time when we talk about hope Namaste
