Hello friends,
So I cannot wait to share with you some of what I feel we have to look forward to for the month of February,
And also how we personally and collectively can thrive during the upcoming month.
Each month I take some time in my journal and ask the highest divine guidance and wisdom.
So what do we who are on this path of spiritual growth need to know?
What do we need to learn?
What can we do so that we can thrive no matter what is happening in the world around us?
And I have something to share with you for this month definitely,
But before I do I want to actually start with a story.
A story that I think is very powerful and a story I grew up hearing at church.
It is a story found in the scriptures.
It is called the Parable of the Talents.
And I believe Jesus told this story to his followers in the scriptures.
But in the story there is a very wealthy man and this wealthy man has lands and vineyards and who knows what.
Very wealthy,
Very diversified investment portfolio.
And he has many servants.
He is about to go away on a very long journey.
And before he goes on this journey he chooses three of his servants to invest in.
And the scriptures use this term he invested talents in.
And in this reference my understanding is the talent is not necessarily the ability to play the piano or do backflips on the trampoline.
The talents were some form of money,
Financial worth.
So to the first servant he gave one talent.
To the second servant he gave two talents.
And to the third servant he gave five talents.
Again I don't know exactly how much money a talent was worth but it was a substantial amount of money.
It's my understanding.
The first servant,
Oh and by the way he goes off on his journey and he tells them I'm going away.
Be wise with how you use this talent I have invested in you.
So the first one takes that one talent that he received,
Digs a hole in the ground,
Buries it in the ground for safekeeping and forgets about it.
The second one who was given two talents took that money and invested it in some business venture or other and doubled his money.
The third one same thing.
Invested his five talents in some successful business venture or venture and doubled his money.
The wealthy man comes back and calls his three servants to account.
To the first one he said what have you done with this money I invested in you?
And he said oh I buried it for safekeeping.
Here it is.
And he adds it back.
And the wealthy man was very angry.
He said I invested that in you because I believed in you basically to do something great with it and you've done nothing with it.
Took the talent back,
Kicked him out,
Fired him,
Got rid of him.
The other two he was so proud of them because they had taken what they were given and done something amazing with it and invested it to bring about benefit.
And to them he gave both of them more money,
More responsibility,
More prestige.
This really applies to us.
We get so stuck in self doubt that we forget all the gifts and talents that have been invested in us.
It is time for that to shift and it's time for that to change in a major way this upcoming one.
And I'm going to share briefly what came through for our February message.
I just say show me and I write the words as they come through.
Here's our message and this will probably make the most sense,
This first illustration will make the most sense to those of us in North America,
Especially Canada and the US.
It is as if the groundhog isn't seeing its shadow,
Thus signaling an early arrival for springtime.
Feel the energy of growth change and new life emerging within you.
How will you visibly share your gifts with the world this month?
As the groundhog emerges more and more from the borough during the spring months,
Your guidance is very clear for the month of February.
Engage,
Speak,
Create and share.
Your playing small and burrowing into the ground serves no one at all,
Least of all you.
Shake off the cobwebs and be seen.
Your efforts in doing this,
No matter how imperfect,
Will yield you unexpected open doors and opportunities.
It's like God is saying,
Test me in this.
In other words,
Get ready for some major energy to flow in,
Around and through your life if you take even the smallest of bold baby steps this month by sharing your gifts more visibly with the world.
All of that,
I just felt as that message was coming through,
I was reminded of that story,
The parable of the talents,
Which came up with someone I was speaking to earlier anyway.
We have so much that's been invested in us.
Stop playing small.
We have been burrowed into the ground hideout only emerging for Zoom for almost two years now.
I don't know if spring is going to come early this year in terms of weather and climate,
But I do know you as someone who is on this journey of growth and expansion and spiritual awakening.
You are being guided this month,
The month of February.
No more playing small,
No more burrowing into the ground and hiding.
It is time to get out,
Share your gifts in a way that others can see them and benefit from.
So I want to share a meditation with you to help you activate into that bold,
Even if they're baby steps,
Bold steps to share your gifts with the world.
I invite you to get comfortable.
This will be a brief meditation and I invite you to take a clearing breath with me.
Take a nice deep inhale through the nose and a big sigh out the mouth.
And then close your eyes as you bring your breath slowly in through the nose and out through the nose.
I'd like you to feel yourself as a wintertime dormant tree,
A tree that perhaps lost its leaves several months ago.
And even though the leaves are not visible at the surface,
Your branches appear bare,
You feel within you the sap of life starting to stir and flow and move throughout your branches and limbs and trunk.
And as that sap flows up from the trunk into the branches,
Out through the twigs and stems,
Starting to activate the leaf buds,
Your baby step may be as simple as to open one flower on your tree branch,
Just one.
As that delicate flower unfolds,
One bee comes and finds it and then another bee.
They go and tell their friends and more bees come.
And then the butterflies find it and the songbirds.
And that one old step you took to open one flower on one bare branch opens up so much lively activity,
So much,
Invites so much energy to flow in,
Around and through.
And before you know it,
All of your branches are filled with fragrant,
Beautiful springtime flowers.
Some of those flowers will turn into delicious fruit in the summer.
But for now you are becoming a haven,
A sanctuary for the bees,
Butterflies,
The songbirds,
And even the humans to admire.
Now let's apply that energy to your life,
To your gifts.
Whether you have a gift of teaching or healing gifts,
The gifts of writing,
Some other artistic creative gift,
Whatever your gifts,
Your talents are,
I want you to feel what it's like for them to start as energy flowing within you,
Flowing up through you,
Through your hands,
Your mouth,
Your face,
Your expression,
Out into the world.
And I want you to feel how when you take that first baby bold step to share your gifts more visibly,
It lights up and it activates one person,
And then they tell someone else,
And someone else,
And more and more and more.
People start to receive tremendous energizing activation,
Inspiration,
Uplifting from your bold baby step of expression.
People that no longer block it,
But this month override the fear,
The ego,
The doubt,
And take some concrete steps in sharing those gifts with the world.
And as the message said,
Get ready for some major energy to flow in and through you if you take even that smallest of steps.
Test God in this and see what happens this month.
The energy is there to support you.
It's time.
I want to thank you for joining me in this February soul download,
Reflection,
Message,
And meditation.
If I can be of service to you,
Reach out to me and let me know.
I'm always welcome questions,
Inquiries,
And I'd love to even do a soul session with you to help you jumpstart,
Turbocharge that soul path energy flowing and moving through you.
Have a beautiful month of February.
Be bold,
Be brave,
And share.
Bye everyone.
