What is trying to emerge and be birthed through you right now?
Can you reframe a challenging circumstance or issue in your life? Instead of looking at it as a huge frustration, annoyance and reason that life is currently against you, can you look at it as a restructuring and resurfacing of sorts? So that more harmony can be created? So that all of the conditions needed for a great emergence can happen? Listen to this…
Instead of fighting it, resisting it, broadcasting your woes to everyone, cursing it and feeling that life is unfair…can you ease up and relax? Can you just nurture yourself and let it just be?
Life doesn’t have to be a struggle all the time and we don’t have to suffer through these times of upheaval and change.
Here are a few tips on reframing your current condition and creating better conditions for a great emergence
- Ask yourself/God/the Universe “What is trying to emerge? What wants to be born within me?”
- Stop resisting and ease some stress by NOT talking about it. NOT sharing it with everyone you meet (your roommate, sister, hairdresser and especially on social media). Just. Wait.
- Get yourself in a more calm state on a regular basis. The goal is to create perfect conditions for the emergence. The acorn and the butterfly don’t just spontaneously change. The emergence happens when the right conditions are in place. When you’re stressed about what you are going through, go for a walk. Take deep breaths. Dance. Light a candle and say a prayer.
- Get support. Surround yourself with others on this path.
- Share your triumphs. Share your dreams. Declare what is emerging and celebrate it as it does!
Enjoy the ride, babe. Let me know how it goes. I’d love to hear from you.

Dearest Lisa – I can SO relate to what you speak about !!! One of the reasons I went on the Camino was to get more clarity about what is next for me. I didn’t receive more clarity but rather there wasn’t a strong no either to my desire to operate a B&B or retreat center. So, I totally get the question about what is trying to emerge or be revealed through me? The message I receive is patience–the answer is coming, And often the waiting can be most difficult. I WANT IT NOW, DAMMIT!!! 🙂 BTW, interestingly, there were acorns and caterpillars on the Camino! Wonderful to see and hear you. You are in your element! Much love.
Dearest Laurie ~ thank you so much for your reflections. Yes, sometimes the answer is not there and we have to practice patience and trust. Sometimes we are in the incubation stage. I am also going through it with a new business I am birthing. So I wait and breathe and trust. And it’s so good to know that others are going through similar things! I hope to see you soon, darling. Back to India in November. XO
Truly magical words, Lisa, and ones to always keep in mind. What a comfort it is to see your beautiful face and hear your words of wisdom.
I remember, decades and decades ago, someone suggested that I get in touch with my feelings in order to whatever……
I was mystified. Get in touch with my feelings? My farming family had never spoken about feelings. They were good people but the entirety of our conversations were based on how much work there was to do in a morning, an afternoon, a day, a week and on.
So the journey of getting in touch with my feelings began. It has been and continues to be a fascinating one.
Feel my hug and my love, Lisa. My life has been enriched with you in it.
I feel your hug and your love, Karen. Thanks for this. Yes. Not always easy or comfortable to get in touch with our feelings. But also, I’m realizing the need to let the feelings flow through and not dwell or attach WHO I AM to the feelings. They are a part of the human experience, but they are not my soul essence. They are like weather patterns. So much to discuss on this topic! Thanks for your feedback!
Love,

Dearest Sister, our paths they enter twine.
Love these wisdom tips for being with what we don’t
Feel happy or comfortable or frustrated.
I’m also trying to SURRENDER AND FLOW AND TRUSTin the DIVINE ORDER of LiFE. REMINDS ME OF a Shaker poem that goes something a little like “turning round and round till we come out right.” I love u
I love being on this path with you sweet soul sister. Surrender. Flow. Trust. Divine Order. YES TO ALL OF IT!
I love you!

Ahhhh …. my book of dreams.. (Reality.) Which is, of course is relative. I don’t know. However, the knowing one does. (We don’t know.) What DO we know? (I don’t know.) For sure. I am but a fractured fracture of the One, (THE ONE) ….who knows no limitation. Sorrow and grief must be accepted. Then released. Then, the judgements of others, even the most astute, totally released as an “entity.” “My mediocrity” … all the missed marks … “sin” … are the fuel for transformation, and refined acuity of consciousness. Interesting, isn;’t it, that the universe as we know it would design itself into a varying spectrum(s) of male and female elements? “Elements.” In the midst of our transcendental joy, we must ALL grieve, and shed tears of sorrow. If nothing less than than the inevitable surrender of the precious life as we know it. Our incinerating cremation pyres are fueled by our highest earthly aspirations.
Love you Mark. Always love your words.
Love is the most powerful energy source in the universe. Consciousness is sourced from love, and destined to arrive, and then continue forever, in love. Love is both serene and fierce. Love is not easy. Why? Because it is transformational and omni-dimensional, and connected with an infinity of conscious life forms. We then are confronted with the challenges of being biological life forms in a highly competitive ecological biospheric environment, infused with dimensions of out of body consciousness. Our bodies are cocoons. Metamorphosis can be VERY painful. None of this love is only bliss BS, because ecstasy and suffering are the inseparable yin and yang elements of being alive. We each and every one, (the Buddhists got this one,) in this incarnation, we must grow old, (or not), and die. Then? I don’t know. In the meantime, love is not the easy way out, it is simply the only way to go. In my own experience, healing from my pain, (often self-induced) … is accomplished with a loving and kind attitude. It’s hard spiritual work. I accept the challenge. Oh, and also, Love is a lot of fun. It goes all around with cause and effect, and wow how it comes back when we put it out there. Powerful stuff. Sexy too.
Yes. Enjoy it. Enjoy it all. Feel it all. It’s not easy. It’s heavy, messy, complex yet simple. It’s everything.
I love you.
Lisa
