Do the Thing…
Don’t have the energy to do what you want to do? Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “Do the thing and you will get the energy to do the thing.”
Peace Across the Planet
Sacred Shiva Lingam stones symbolize Divine Creative manifestation and only come from the Narmada River in India. The dark yoni markings symbolize feminine energy, and the shape represents masculine energy… a perfect balance. The stone corresponds to the heart chakra, the love energy within us.
“What these Shiva Lingam stones offer us is an invitation to join with them in Sacred Stone Acupuncture, where the stones, placed vertically on the Earth’s body, connect with the Crystalline Grid within in the planet (the core geometric pattern and flow of all of Life on Earth, and of the Earth Mother herself), and hold uninterruptedly the intent and alignment of peace for all forms of life.” ~ Peace Across the Planet
Me with Shiva Lingam stone at ChocolaTree in Sedona, AZ
“I am here.
Where are you?
What inspiration captures your intent?
Which direction stores your roots?
I am Shiva Lingam.
Who are you?
What thoughts weave your attention?
Which dreams grasp your lifetimes?
I am Crystalline Grid Keeper and Recorder.
What are you?
What manifestations spring from your hands and feet?
What spirit do you follow when you delight or fear?
I listen for your answers,
for your ways,
for your fears,
for your kindness.
Bring them all to my body and heart
for I judge none of them ever.
Wherever Whomever Whatever
you be,
you are,
I match all of you with deepest honorings.
I know well that courage brings you next to me now
because courage is what brings you to the Earth Mother
in this brave and haunted season–
this previously untouched, unimagined growth,
transformation,
love-beyond-words, ways, fears, kindness.
All stands freely seen in my open and opening eyes
for that is the courage that I bring,
that stands me here upon the Earth Mother
that roots me in this place
in this ritual
with you.
Meet me
with all that you are
with all that you do.
Let us hug all the gifted challenges to our hearts
here and now
so that all that you are,
all that you do,
bravely becomes
Peace.”

Creating Order
In The Success Principles (which I highly recommend) Jack Canfield mentions how his friend Martin Rutte told him that whenever he wants to bring in new business, he thoroughly cleans his office, home, car, and garage. “Every time he does, he starts getting calls and letters from people who want to work with him.”
That got me thinking about the state of my home office. If it’s the epicenter of my work and creativity in my home, it would serve me to get organized and allow the flow of energy a clear path.
Then, in a completely unrelated conversation with my awesome astrologer friend Tony Howard, he mentioned that it might be helpful for me to consider how, in Japanese culture, great care is taken in the placement and order of every item in their home.
All of this within the last few days. Hmm… noticing a theme?
And then, in a conversation last night regarding Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow Rich, someone mentioned this line: “Resolve to throw off the influences of any unfortunate environment and to build your own life to order.” He may have meant order as in made to order, but the first thing that came to mind was ORDER, i.e. the opposite of chaos.
This is how the universe teaches me… through the people in my life and the material I read. It shows me the same lesson, time and time again, in a different presentation, until I get it. My job is to listen, learn, and take action.
Done!
