From my apartment window, I lie in bed peering out at a gorgeous sun bidding me goodnight as it sets behind the tree-lined lake. The faint ghost of the blue super moon wavers in the clouds, reminding me that our subconscious mind is always present and is beckoning us into states of wholeness and inventive creativity.
Though I physically live back and forth in two locations now, there is a home in my heart that is the connecting place of my soul. It is consistent in its ability to comfort and guide me, yet the terrain is anything but static. The landscape has expansive skies, violet snowcapped mountains, emerald lakes, and beautiful gardens teaming with beaming lifeforms. A castle is nestled in the trees complete with a bridge leading to protective parapet walls. Several notched towers point to the heavens and provide space for various activities. One is a restful room containing a soft bed where featherlike arms hold me and whisper to me valuable insights. Another tower is for inviting in souls who wish to partake in healing energy. There is even an outermost turret containing a launch pad cloaked in luminous tetrahedrons that has the ability to swoop me into otherworldly adventures. And, of course, there is a high gathering room where my guides and angels help me to awaken my consciousness and remind me, I am not alone.
We all have a home base in our heart that is worth connecting with and nurturing ourselves in its grace. I encourage everyone to use their creative imagination to envision sacred ground here that includes all your favorite scenes that bring you peace, and activities that aid you in your unique endeavors. Visiting this home often, leads to living an authentic, courageous, truth-filled life. It is a place to rest from the need to figure out how to get others to love us, and assures us that we are already well loved beyond all expectation. It can bring us stability regardless of the outer circumstances we find ourselves to be in. As a constant source of comfort and compassion, acts of kindness are birthed from here, and our Soul holds our hand as we bless the world.
Remember ~ your Soul is always with you wherever you are, shinning forth from the home base that resides in your heart.
As Confucius tells us ~ ‘Where so ever you go bring your whole heart with you!‘
