Listen to the Darkness & Feed Your Light Body

Today, I sit in front of a blazing light that projects warmth and goodness through my entire body.  It is called, "Light Therapy".  Meant to imitate the sun's rays that we get unlimited amounts of in the summer time.  It is one of the steps I have taken to nourish my Spirit's need for light in the winter time.  I have a natural tendency to gravitate towards light.  This is why I love the summer time and feel ultimately full of life during this time of year.  Going into the fall, I begin to feel the effects of the coming cold weather and shorter days but they do not predominate in my life.   As the days become shorter and shorter and the darkness becomes more and more apparent I begin to shift into a slower mode that craves more sleep, less activity, and more comfort foods.  I slip into a darkness that is difficult to see when you are in it and even more difficult to transcend when the darkness that I feel seems so real.   So, when I wrote the last blog...."Winter Sucks", I had come to the point of  'having enough' of the winter blues and ready to turn my temper tantrums into productive action.  You see, it is ego that just wants to feel 'sorry' for itself for a little while and then it is time to act.  I allowed my sorrow filled moments to 'be', allowed myself to go into that space of darkness and feel.  Knowing that as I embrace the darkness I will emerge with lightness.  So,  I took action.  I braved the cold that day.  I was determined to evolve.  I put on my boots and heavy winter coat that covers me from head to toe.  I used my energy in a positive direction to make change.  I was ready.  Fear was my friend...finally.  Together we embraced the winter and found ways in the coming days and weeks ahead to make beneficial changes.  These changes came to me naturally because of my faith and belief that they would.  I payed more attention to my diet with the knowing that if I am a being who craves light I must bring in more light filled nourishing foods and water into my body that will satisfy my cravings for light.  I put down the extra carbs and dencer foods and picked up more of the fresh raw vegetables and fruits I love to eat in the summer time.  I payed attention to using the colors of the rainbow to feed all of my chakras.  Red radishes, apples, tomatoes, raspberries, strawberries & red peppers fed my root chakra. Orange carrots, oranges, butternut squash and pumpkin nourished my second chakra.  Yellow squash, spaghetti squash, pears & lemons opened my power chakra. Green kale, leafy greens, cilantro, parsley, and cucumbers fed my heart.  Blueberries, eggplant, dates, figs, cleared my throat and third eye.  Fresh mineral rich water fed my spirit, my crown chakra.  I connected and prayed knowing that I would continue to be guided to what I needed more of and less of in my life, nutritionally and in my relationships.  I took salt baths to pull out the negative energy I was feeling in my body and had unconsciously collected from others.  I distanced myself from the relationships that fed my darker side and brought back in more of the light filled heart centered people that fill me up.   I went to places that resonate with light vibration and did activities that brought in more light.  I also just 'happened' to have a scheduled appointment with my wholistic osteopathic doctor a week later who also had some wonderful input as to how I could improve my low energy and seasonal affective  disorder type behaviors.  I implemented all of these suggestions along with what I had already been doing and immediately began to feel like my light filled summer self again.  I am incredibly thankful for these experience.  They have taught me well.  They have given me the tools I need to continue to help myself and raise my vibration.  I share all of this with you in hopes that more will see how important it is to take care of our spirit and our bodies that are light filled and vibrant.  The more we can fill our "Light Bodies" with light and high vibrations the better we will feel and the more positive about life we become.  We are Light Bodies needing to be filled in all aspects of our being.  I encourage you to feel all types of energy around you and how these different energies affect your being.  It is when we can tune into this awareness and allow it to teach us that we can make the changes necessary to fill our lightness.  Our spirit will guide and direct us to the high vibrations and frequencies we need.  We only need to be ready to listen.  From the foods we eat, to the environment we live in , to the thoughts we think, to the faith that we hold deep within our hearts....we are always evolving, transcending, moving closer to our oneness.  Charge on my friends and know only good will come.  Feed your Light Body.  Feed it well.  It is your connection to the Oneness you are seeking.  The lightness...the openness...the beingness that resonates from within.

Namaste
