Time for Spirit?

  
     Summer is such a beautiful time in Oregon (especially when the sun is out!).  The landscape is verdant and lush, just begging you to enjoy the outdoors.  
     I  realized within the past several years that the times in my life when I've felt most alive and joyful were when I was out in nature.  With the sun warming me, the scent of new mown grass, flowers, or cedar in the air, it's easier to be moved fully into spirit--and know the joy it brings.  Maybe it's because I breate deeply, or that I allow myself to relax and just be fully present so that my spirit can emerge.  Nature is wonderful at opening our hear, while providing healing and support--allowing the spirit to soar!
     The combination of music outdoors, is a powerful duo, and has always been a favorite.  The power and beauty of the music and nature together is awesome.  There is also a freedom of openness outside--no ceiling, walls, boundaries....limitless, like our soulds.
     I encourage you to take some time this summer to fully experience nature.  Give yourself time to be relaxed and without constraints.  It can be in the forest, at the ocean or lake, or in a park or garden.  Allow all your senses to be awake and fully present as you feel yourself relaxing more deeply while you breathe spirit fully into your being.  No agenda.  No past.  No future--(give your planning brain a mini-vacation)..right now, with your entire being. 
     Soak in life!  Deeply saturate yourself completely in the orgasmic connection with all of life.  Allow your heart to open and expand as you drink in this nourishing elixir of nature so abundantly and freely available.  Can you find the time to nuture your soul?
     Make a date with yourself if necessary---put it on the calendar, so that the busy life you lead saves time for you.  Allow yourself enough time to relax and not only be in nature, but be fully present to experience sunshine, moonshine, )dare I say rain?), with all of yourself.  In doing so, the peace you experience will feed your soul and help you to regenerate and re-energize. 
     Breathe it in more and more.  The connection with Spirit will become stronger and fill you with the love of the universe.  It will feel so wonderul you'll want to continue the connection. 
     When you find yourself caught up in the busy-ness of everyday life---just breate and re-establish that connection which is always available.  The more you do it, the more natural and seamless the process becomes, to truly live in Spirit.  All we need to do is remember to breathe it in and be.

Blessings,
