Pace yourself with ease…

Dear Friends,

This is a snapshot of my favorite nearby Lighthouse taken the other day on a late afternoon walk (that’s 3 pm at my latitude). I love the colors of the grasses and shrubs, the dark reds and pale tans, against the intense blue water. there is such beauty everywhere in Nature. And I was delighted to get a pic with absolutely no tourists in sight. This Lighthouse is a prime attraction most of the year. That’s fine, because everyone is enjoying its beauty, strength and grace – but it’s great to be here alone now and again- I can sink deeper into connecting with the energy of the place. It was serene. Nature knows all about pacing.

It’s such a busy time of year for us in the North, scurrying to prepare for winter and heeding the seasonal and cultural reminders to gather in your friends and family in one way or another. Make sure everyone is safe, everyone is loved, everyone is okay – at least okay enough. We all have our journey, but one of the things that comes up for me to learn every year at this time is to pace myself, and I’d like to share about that. The other night while I was channeling, with Rob and two others, we were guided by these words from the presence of Divine Mother.

“You wonder if you are diluting your own energies by attempting so much in each day. We would say that you are learning to trust, to pace yourself, and the opportunities will come and you will sometimes have a hard time saying ‘I have enough on my plate for today’ and you will put more on. It is fine. We will still channel with you. And to your question -are you too tired to channel? No indeed, my dear. If you were, you would know. So are there other questions from any of you, my darlings? [grin- Mother is very loving]

Rob: I do.  

Yes. Rob. 

Rob: So you mentioned pacing yourself and I understand that from the perspective of a physical vessel and having the energy to proceed. But I’m considering that in relation to the whole idea that love is boundless. And if that’s true, and I have no doubt that it is true, then is there such a thing as having to overly constrain ourselves. 

Mother: The idea of pacing is to be in a state of comfort, in a state of ease. If you find you are not comfortable, take the time to make yourself so. It is not that you must constrain yourself and only entertain two things a day- the rule that Jennifer has had for a while and so when she has three she becomes a little bit anxious that she has overdone it. Well, it is not about that. It is about, in each living moment, loving yourself enough to maintain your state of peace, maintain your state of self-nurturing, so that it is flowing into you through your own choice – not some other magic – through your own choice.

Allow the love to pour into you and through you and then it can reemerge, and it does so so naturally, you do not have to monitor this. The main thing is to choose, to choose to pace yourself in ease and at a comfortable pace that feels self-nurturing, because you will naturally nurture others, even more so, if you nurture yourself.

Rob: I see. Thank you.”

So, dear Friends of A Lighthouse for the Soul: Pace yourselves in comfort and ease, and let the JOY begin!
