I AM the Light Thee Light I AM.

21/8/2017

Picture
Of course over 20 years ago when this picture of me was taken I had no idea I was the light. I was just doing my best to get through my days as a shy teenager with mega self esteem issues & a steady stream of intense family dramas to deal with on a regular basis. All this undercurrent while trying to pretend I was cool & calm & all that jazz sitting in my beloved parents in laws house in Co.Mayo puffing on a Smoke. 

Little did I know back then I was thee light; far from it but I did carry a dream from being a child ( a deep hope or knowiness ) in my heart; that dream was that life could be different than what I often witnessed around me & felt deeply at times. Somewhere deep down I just knew life was not meant to be so hard & full of struggles, anger, mistruths, abuses, confusions, disempowerment, hardness, masked over personas, awkwardness, unworthiness, judgement, Shame, distrust , guilt, depression , lack mentality. 

In the deep of my own sufferings & overwhelm there were moments when my heart would whisper to me as a youngster, that one day when you grow up you will come to know the greater purpose of the madness and will discover that all your experiences will help you grow in compassion, wisdom and empathy, they will gift you an relatable ability to support others heal and empower via your very own discoveries & authentic life journey travelled.

Today I am all grown up Healed, Joyous, Empowered & evolving day by day in strength & acceptance as thee light I AM only a few months away from turning 40yrs. I am here to invite and remind whom ever is open to receive; ready to heal & empower that you are thee light too !  We are each powerful creators of our experiences of reality by the very energy we emanate, the thoughts we think, the beliefs we conversate and our every intention, expectations, attention & projections . " as you believe it is giving onto you " .

It is strange thing to come fully circle back to a deeper inner connection to thee Christ consciousness after growing up with such a distortion of what this understanding and highest message of divine love light really meant. I could not get far enough away from words like God, Jesus, heaven and hell when I was a teenager . All these words felt so heavy with distortion, guilt, shame, judgement, confusion and the shackles of my own inherent unworthiness ! 

I have since been blessed to reconnect to all these words and the true energy divine love essence originally intended behind them when we minus the human overlays of mans egoic versions; self reflecting images & deeper agendas into distorting what is truly wholesome, uplifting, sacred & pure. Religion does not hold that much interest for me but pure spiritual consciousness that uplifts the human journey & lower egoic nature to new heights of pure Christed love & empowers our self creation , greater inner and outer harmony and connects us to unconditional love , you bet yaaa  abso-fucking-lutely ... ! 

You are powerful beyond measure. What ever is happening in our world & within us is only to bring us ( our human nature ) into its divine homecoming if one is willing to open ones heart and return to unconditional love for self & all of humanity & all of creation. How can one truly unconditionally love another of perceived difference if one does not truly love and accept and have compassion for all that one is,  especially the things that has been judged as wrong, bad, not good enough or unlovable ? It is a inner game. 

We are currently at a spectacular cross road, a pivotal choice point for humanity with the solar alignment eclipse peaking in just a few hours with a total eclipse over the United States.

The question to each of us is , Will you close your heart in fear, anger, blame, distrust, judgment , separation & turn away from opening to greater heights of love & personal empowerment ( taking personally responsibility ) or will you open to trusting the greater intelligence of life , God , source creator ; light that which you are a intricate part of ?

We are gods children & hence gods lights dwells in us , so it is our God giving right to know we are each all powerful creators of our world. What will you choose to align your beliefs with ? You have free will & it is honoured by all of creation. Thy will be done.

These are pivotal years we are living through. Intense, overwhelming at times and holds  incredibly liberating potentials for our evolving humanity. 

Picture
Now shifting gears a little . . .

I invite you to take the good deep breathe, as life may have seemed extra intense and over whelming at times for you over the last few months and possibly even years. You may or someones close to you may have experienced unexpected challenges, loses or big health issues.  Let me assure you that you are not alone and these years are pivotal years on our mother earth. Hence why more and more people are escaping to a place like Hanmer Springs to unwind, relax, soak in the hot pools, book a massage, discover the benefits of yoga, get physically active and get into nature to restore balance, peacefulness , contentment and harmony. 

It a strange thing that these life challenges that can lead to excessive stress and even a crisis point or over whelming worries and anxieties, can all to often be what it takes for many people to finally give themselves the permission slip to surrender to the idea that says ' it is really ok to invest in me and take a few days away to relax, slow down and rejuvenate or perhaps even book that round the world travel dream trip . 

Life is too short to not to smell the roses once in a while :-) ! 

Because . . .

I am worth it, my health is worth it, my peace and calm is worth it ! ! ! 

" The most important decision you will ever make is if the universe is a friendly place or a hostile place "  Albert Einstein 

At Vibrant Living it is our great joy to share our beautiful location and services in Hanmer Spring. We love to support our guests to unwind, relax, restore calm and reconnect with a grateful open heart to the many blessings of life. It may seem so simply and yet it is all so profound and wonderful in todays world that may convince one to think life is a domes day movie. Not at Vibrant Living thats for sure, we are part of the new paradigm emerging that moves from passionate, caring hearts and creative minds. We are intend on being orientated to the solutions rather than the problems.

" you can't solve a problem from the same level of thinking that created the problem " Einstein  (  scientist  / philosopher ) 

Our ethos here is about daily practices that align us to personal empowerment, vibrant health and well being and with that comes personal self responsibility for what we focus our thoughts, words and deeds on. " give onto others what we would like given onto us " It is not about trying to be perfect, in fact it is more about embracing all that makes up being a spiritual being having a human imperfect experience. It is about being our authentic true selves not needing to pretend we are something more or less than what we naturally are.  It actually takes a lot of energy to keep up a unauthentic appearance, to hide behind a persona, to wear many hats and be many things to many people. It is stressing people out big time because it is a lot of hiding behind lie's. Having the courage to be vulnerable and admit our failures, fears, faults, imperfections etc is actually liberating. The funny thing is when we humans share in more authentic ways we usually discover we are more alike than different, we have the same kind of inner critical mind, the same kind of worries and insecurities, we have hopes and dreams  and generally want to feel fulfilled, valued and content.  

The old paradigm values was to work hard to survive; to take care of others at the expense of your self ; to put your health in the doctors hands, intellect in the teachers and spirituality in the church or some other establishment / organisation. That is some of the reasons the wellness industry is a growing billion dollar industry. More and more people are deciding to take the leap and invest there resources of time, money and energy into discovering the 'how to's' and daily practices to take back empowerment over ones own health vitality, emotional intelligence, mental clarity and spiritual connectedness. Sure people will still attend churches and visit doctors etc They will continue to have there valuable place, however the chances are it will have to resonant more with peoples hearts and intelligence and have a more holistic inclusive approach. Be an uplifting complimentary experience that adds to ones vitality and confidence and not deplete it. 

" change the way you look at something and the thing you look at changes "

    Mary Jo,  Steve & the Vibrant Team !  

    Our Blog is a resource for us at Vibrant Living to share the good news, news; that which supports our human empowerment, V.L. updates and wellness inspirations to seed new possibilities,  insights, hope and connections. 

    Most of all we intend to share the good vibes that enhance living a vibrantly empowered and creative life in body-mind-spirit. 

    Vibrant Living is our dream vision coming to life and it is our greatest honour and joy to have the capacity to offer our wellness services in our beautiful retreat sanctuary in the alpine village of Hanmer Springs, New Zealand. 

    We acknowledge we are living in some of the most wondrous and crazy years on planet earth. Years that are proving themselves to be years of great changes, life transitions and transformations. Years that  at times will challenge each one of us individually and collectively to dive deeper to the very core of us, with the aim to crack open our hearts, release the past and reveal something new and liberating.  

    We are each in so many different ways being challenged to review our understandings of life as we thought we knew it; uncover our highest values and core beliefs about ourself and our place, direction and purpose within this life. 

    However in the midst of the challenges, chaos, stressful living, over whelm, anxieties, daily pressures and shocks to the body-mind-emotional system is a great opportunity to grow in ways beyond anything we have realised.  Hence the wellness industry if one of the fasting growing industries on the planet as more and more people want to empower there health, fitness, vitality and general well being. 

    " When things seem to be falling apart, what if they are actually falling together " .

    At Vibrant Living we are here to be of support to those that resonant as a bridge of  authentic light;  lighting up with care, vibrancy and compassion the opportunities to release the old daily habits and paradigms that does not work anymore or are simply outdated in our modern world that is in fact birthing a new cosmic 26,000 year cycle of energies and vibrations onto our planet earth.  There is a much bigger picture to current events and we are each being asked to play our unique and relevant parts. 

    We are in a new galactic cycle in which humanity is being encouraged to co-create a new template of living that restores personal empowerment,   harmonious living, innate abundance and sustainable wellness in body, mind, emotions and spirit.

    It is a great paradigm shift and a very rewarding one for those who choose to open to the new possibilities and make heart centred & gut guided choices with trust being redeemed in ones own life guiding source once more to follow ones passions, purpose and joy.  

    Vibrant Living just happens to be ours and we feel blessed each and every day to embrace this beautiful gift of life and be of divine service to this glorious life we are co-creating.
