Savor Life

Sacred Traveler Oracle Cards, by Denise Linn

Today’s invitation is to be present and to enjoy life. No matter what is going on in your life, it is important to make time to recognize the beauty and wonder in each day.

This does not mean that there will not be challenges; rather, it is the conscious choice to not get lost in the challenge(s) with the mind. It is learning to meter your own energy, giving what is needed and then allowing yourself to let go. Our minds love to jump on the proverbial hamster wheel and run. As we embrace more presence, we step off of the hamster wheel and reclaim more of our energy.

The eclipse energies provide unique opportunities to see the patterns and actions of the mind. Troves of emotions are surfacing so that we can see them. In this process, we are becoming more aware of our nervous systems and more aware of our alignment. This awareness is KEY for it provides us the opportunity to choose where we put our attention.

When we cherish the preciousness of the small and simple, we come back into the present moment. We become grateful. We become stewards of our own energy. We become stewards of our bodies. We give ourselves permission to not have to figure it all out and, instead, embrace being happy NOW.

We are not meant to work incessantly as we were taught. We were not meant to always be practical. We were meant to be spontaneous, open, curious, and thoughtful. Embracing pleasure is not frivilous. It is part of life. Being physical is intended to be a sensual experience and this applies to all areas of life, including, but not limited to, our sexual expression. When we allow ourselves to experience life in a sensual way, we begin to notice all of the different layers and textures - our senses become enlivened.

This too is part of the activation energies that are available for our intuition and clair gifts are all related to our ability to sense information. Giving ourselves permission to open our senses invites greater activation of our latent gifts.

In these eclipse energies, we are letting go of the programming of the need to suffer, to struggle, to earn our worth, and to prove ourselves. We are increasingly opening each day to learning through joy.

Are you willing to dance through life today? To sing? To play music? To blow bubbles? To twirl around until you fall over?

Are you willing to enjoy the food you eat and what you drink?

Are you willing to let life touch you - to feel life the messy bits and all?

Are you willing to feel your feelings?

Are you willing to open to wonder at what might be around the next corner?

Are you willing to allow your inner child to lead the way?

Are you willing to live for today and allow tomorrow to figure itself out?

What stirs your heart and senses today?
