It’s that time of year. I will be spending three weeks at my beloved Terrace Beach Retreat rental in Greenlake, Wisconsin. It is only about 40 feet to the little beach and water from my screened in porch. Time to see some clients on zoom and work on book 5, Loving the Unlovable: The Enneagram, Relationships and the Shadow. Time to dream into being this sharing, to dance into the unknown blindly yet confident, to be led to words that want to be spoken, and integrate what I’ve learned so far on my own lifetime trek.
Every time I come here, as ritual, I configure a new meaningful mesa of crystals and wands and earth honoring pieces. Each one is placed with symbolic intention to support me on my creative journey. I begin each day opening the 7 directions. South, West, North, East, above, below and within. Each of these portals invite me to pause and lean into the energetic encouragement of those directions. I feel held and beckoned by those doorways into collective consciousness.
It’s my first morning here. I’ve done one session feeling the magic of this place guiding me as I act as Sherpa to my client. The birds are singing with such joy. The water is calm, as am I. The willow tree gently waves at me, happy to see me again, as I am happy to be in her magnificent presence.
This time, I created a little hypnosis recording to help any unconscious resistance to melt away. No need for struggle. Ease is the blessing. I invite my higher consciousness to direct me.
I take a few deep breaths and I begin. I trust. I open. I become the vessel. And then I merely pour.
