She is my Altar

Let us talk about altars. My first altar I created very carefully, with my heart and devotion. I would sit and meditate at my altar every day. It was a place where I would connect with my heart; a place where I would come Home.

I remember being a tad self-conscious when clients came for sessions and notice my altar. I felt like it was a bit ‘out there’ as no one else I knew had an altar in their home. She was mine, but at that time, I hid her as best I could – not wanting to face the scrutiny and ridicule of others.

Eventually that began to change. As I opened more to Her (my altar), She opened me. She opened my heart. She became a part of me and I became a part of Her. As I discovered more of my Heart, She became a more prominent and comfortable place in my home. Still, there was a bit of hiding.

Years later, I moved from that home. I remember packing Her up the day I left – ever so gently into a box that drove with me to my new place. Only the most important items came with me in the car; me, my dog and cat, and my altar (Her). Everything else was in the hands of the moving company.

In that new home, She was the first thing that I set up; our place to connect. In this home, She became the focal point of the space; everything else existed around Her. As I sat with Her, She continued opening my Heart. I was no longer self-conscious of Her when people came into my space.

A few years later, I moved again. Packing Her oh so gently into a box, She traveled in the car with me and the dog and cat. The remainder of my belongings again were in the hands of the moving company.

In this new home She was first to be set up again. She centered and grounded my home as I centered and grounded my Heart. Then the realization came, the entire home was an altar – my altar. This home is my altar, where I connect with Her and She connects with Me. There is not just a single space that holds my altar, although that does exist also, but every place in this home is an extension of my altar. Without realizing it, my altar, my Heart, grew to encompass the entire space. My entire home is an altar, is Her, is my Heart.

As I sit in meditation – connecting with Her and my Heart, I hear the Earth calling me – showing me once again It’s beauty and majesty – all of us connected. She shows me that the Earth is my altar. Her presence and Love as She holds me is beyond words and description. It is a feeling. It is a Knowingness. She holds all of us – She is an altar for each of us – for all who journey upon Her. Likewise, if you let Her, She will journey with you and remind you of exactly who you Are.

Blessed are the altars.
Blessed are our Hearts.
Blessed be the Journey.

I do not ever walk away from my altar, She walks with me always. She accompanies me on the Journey. She gives me a place to dance the dance of the Heart. She is The Mother, no matter where I roam. I – my Soul – wanted a physical 3D place to play. “No problem” She said, “I Am your Mother and I will create a place for you.” I can see now how I did not see Her until I was ready; ready to open my own Heart to Her and see all of Her beauty and majesty. She has been with me all along. In the beginning, I could not see Her. Gently she helped me to open my Heart to myself, and to Her. Now, I see Her everywhere, especially in my own Heart.

There is only Her.
There is only Love.

In Love and Gratitude,

Sharing Experiences

The Interconnectivity of All That Is.

_____________________________________________________________________

While in morning meditation, my Higher Self and Guides suggested that I share a specific story of when I spontaneously experienced the Love of All That Is. I knew exactly what moment they were referring to. Ah yes, I thought, I remember. But why now? That was so long ago, or at least it seems like it now. But yet, it was an experience that made an big impact on my life and how I lived it from that point on. So yes, I guess I’m sharing today.

While camping with a friend in the San Rafael Swell in Utah, I decided to spend a day hiking by myself. The Swell is a profound place to begin with, but the red rock and beautiful scenery pulled me in easily. While hiking that day I found a rock formation that I was able to climb without any equipment and perched myself on top of it. The sun was shining and the scenery was stunning. I laid down on the ground, soaking up the sun, eyes closed and completely relaxed. My only intention was to enjoy the space. The quiet was perfection. Without knowing, I dropped into my Heart Center. All of a sudden, I was feeling a deep profound sense of Love. I realized I was experiencing the unconditional Love of All That Is. It was so utterly profound. I could feel the Love of Everything, Everywhere! I was not only feeling it, I was filled with It. It was undeniable. I could feel the connectivity of Everything…including myself. I’ve always know that we are all connected. There is no doubt for me. But, in this moment, I was experiencing it internally. I Knew it in that moment. It was so clear. I remained in that space and enjoyed the experience for quite a while. I remember thinking that I really didn’t want to move. At that point I was reminded that All Is Well….and even if I decided to never get up, to stay in that place for the duration of this life, All would still be Well.

It was beyond words. I did not wish to move from that place. Eventually, however, I did. As I stood to climb back down the rock formation, I noticed several strands of red ‘light’ emanating from my body to the Earth. These strands of light came from my arms, my legs, my torso, my head, and connected me to the planet. These strands of light, I was reminded, are how I am connected to the planet and that I could never ‘fall off’.

I’ve shared this experience a few times and usually it was met with disbelief. I have felt the sting of isolation many times in my life simply from sharing my spiritual experiences. I have had numerous spiritual experiences in this lifetime and each have formed my Foundation and have given me a way to move deeper into myself to Know my own Truth. I no longer care how another feels about my experiences, whether I am ‘believed’ or not. It was often a lonely ride when I was younger. I landed on this planet, in this vessel, with the ability to see multiple dimensions simultaneously. I was also gifted with the Knowingness that there would be a Shift coming, and that it would occur during my lifetime. I was born in the early 60’s and the idea of a ‘shift’ on the planet was not widely known or even cared about. My ride was lonely and my journey was solo. But once in a while I came across unique individuals who felt safe enough to share their own profound experiences…those stories that often pushed them into isolation as well. Yet, here we are, at the most profound moment of our lifetime. We sit on the edge of that Shift, more profoundly than even I could have realized as a kid. We are All Connected. There is no such thing as Separation. We are not Alone.

We are all walking through this. We are all having solo journeys. Yet we are here experiencing This in our own way and on our own terms.

I know I’m not the only Being on this planet that is experiencing the Interconnectivity of All That Is, spontaneously or consciously…I would love to hear your story. Please feel free to share it here, or if you like, you can email me directly at thereisonlylove@msn.com. And, if anyone so desires, I am happy to share even more.

Love to All
All is Love
May all Beings be Happy
May all Beings be Free

In Love and Gratitude,
Trish
