Divine FeminineI refer to The Stream of Life both as a Divine Aspect and as the earthly water streams we enjoy all over this beautiful Earth. I think of her as “her” because I can feel feminine, nurturing qualities, effortlessly carrying us along in her sensual flow and gently caressing everything in her path. She is yielding yet deeply strong, wise, luminous and intelligent. Flowing through us all, she is the essence of life itself, working in partnership with all the other aspects of the Divine. As I sit with The Stream of Life, I feel myself opening and responding. She stimulates a natural letting go into wellbeing. Achy muscles open and relax. Tight thoughts drift off. As I soak up her nourishing life force I begin to feel alive and vibrant. I ask The Stream of Life to teach me. This Is What She Says …“I carry you, and have always been carrying you, along your path of highest evolution and wellbeing. You can relax into me. You are very precious to me. I have your best and highest interests at heart, always. It is safe to rest here. Let my waters embrace and soothe you. Through your contact with me you will learn to believe in yourself. “You can lay your burdens down and let me guide you along. Here, resting in me, you can drink love, forgiveness, acceptance and compassion right into your cells. As you “slow down and ease up you will learn to accept love. Feel it pouring into your cells now – the glorious energy of The Stream of Life.”
Apparent Obstacles“As I carry you along, sometimes you’ll encounter rocks, boulders, tangles of logs, and other life forms along your path that from a certain perspective can look like obstacles. “Take heart, Dear One, for this is not so. All you need do is trust me. I am The Stream of Life that is carrying you along to where your heart really wants to go. Stay open to all you are experiencing while remembering that you are always guided and supported by me. I will continue to carry you to your True Home as you are learning to surrender. I will lead you step by step through the passages that serve your highest purpose: awakening to the truth of who you are. “Along your journey you will encounter many beautiful and wondrous things as well as many uncomfortable things. You will eventually experience all that The Stream of Life has to teach you in this lifetime. Each experience will flow one into another. All of what and who you see are reflections of aspects of yourself, bringing you the opportunity to grow in awareness of yourSelf.” Resistance Is Optional“You are free to resist your experiences, but doing so will make your path much harder. If you trust me, go with the flow and give yourself into The Stream of Life, I will effortlessly guide you over, around and through your learning experiences and into greater wellbeing. “You will see that my way is not to push or force. Instead, I guide you in the effortless way of sensing and watching for the path of least resistance. In this way you will respond rather than react to what is along your path. Look for what sparks a feeling of vitality and enthusiasm in you. That is your next step of the path opening up for you.” The Call Of Desire“Your true heart’s desire is to return to your True Home. Even so, as I carry you along, you may see something that appears to be outside you that you think you want more. You will probably reach for this thing. And, although you can never actually leave The Stream, diverting your attention from your true heart’s desire will eventually leave you feeling depleted and separate. “For awhile, you may be able to experience this thing you have reached for, but you won’t be able to hold onto it longer than its natural life cycle of duration. All things eventually fade away or morph into something else. “Eventually you will tire of this process and you will bring your attention back to me, The Stream of Life, which in your heart you know always has everything you really want. I will always welcome you back with loving arms, every single time.”
Your Emotions Show You Where You Are“Along your path you will experience fear and all the other so called “negative” emotions that arise from fear. When you notice this, don’t be alarmed, Dear One. This is just a sign that your primary attention has been diverted away from me, The Stream of Life. This immediately causes you to feel alone and unloved. You may not understand that it is not I who have left you, but you who have turned away from me. “This leads to a feeling of disempowerment and depletion, a natural result from depending on your own separate, limited inner resources, which then causes you to try to control and manipulate your surroundings, which depletes you even further. “The longer you put off your inevitable return to me, the more you will feel disheartened, weary and confused. This is because you have turned away from your life source, The Stream of Life, your true connection to real power, which is love. “Eventually, when you’ve had enough suffering, you will again notice me – the quiet, happily flowing Stream of Life that has been here all along. From deep within your being in the depths of your heart you know that only I have your best interests at heart and only I can take you where you really want to go. “All you need do is bring your attention back to The Stream and rest into my warm embrace. I will remind you how deeply you are loved, no matter what you’ve ever done or will ever do. All feelings of separation and depletion will disappear as you give yourself over to my unconditional love.” Control“At times the flow of your life will appear to move quickly. At other times it will meander lazily along. As The Stream of Life, I guide your life flow by what is best for your highest and deepest learning about the truth of who you are. “When you notice an impulse to try to make the flow of your life speed up or slow down, this is also a sign that you’ve left The Stream and are therefore out of alignment with wellbeing. No matter what pace your life is flowing, bring your attention back into me. You will then notice my eternal timelessness – bursting with life, with no stress or pressure. “The energy you receive from me, our connection, and my guidance for you can be felt most strongly when you bring your attention into this present moment. You will be guided to do the best you can do with what you have from where you are. You can leave the rest of the details to me and I will manage them in line with your highest desire – to consciously return Home.”
Trying To Hide |
Lately I’ve been soothed, inspired and invigorated by what I’ve come to know as The Stream of Life – personified by the bountiful creeks in this beautiful part of Colorado, USA. We’ve had a lot of rain in the last month and nearby Coal Creek is bouncing along happily. Each day I look forward to my creek walk where I commune with her.
“As Maya displays the contents of yourself in front of you in your daily life, 
“As you keep returning to me – The Stream of Life – and are willing to feel and see all that is before you and within you, your perspective of Life will expand. You will encompass more.
