Namaste Nurturing, Manifesting, Mothering, May Eyes!
Happy May! Happy Mother’s Day Monday! Happy Mindful Moment!
I greet you in the infinite possibilities of this mindful May moment whereby we pause to be aware, to see with the eyes of our hearts, to ask and allow permission for new possibilities. As we pause here, may we see with eyes of expansive infinity. May we open to soul vision, revision, divine decisions. May we set aside division. May we make provisions to envision; giving ourselves permission to see with marvelous may eyes! Our actions begin with visions.
Peek-A-Boo! What delights are calling you ~ to see and to do?
As we celebrate ourselves and each other for the wonders, joys, challenges and sacrifices of motherhood, let us know that as powerful co-creators, we are constantly in the cycle of birthing our lives. Whether or not you are a mother, I honor you for that! Though yesterday was my first Mother’s Day without my son, he called me from college and we talked for well over 2 hours. Yay! He gave me the best gift and the one that I most gifted him, TIME! Our time and attention is how we turn our continual co-creations into mindful manifestations. As mothering my son is drastically different now, I adjust other aspects of work and service. For those that are interested, some of those updates are sprinkled into the following 5 aspects of seeing with Mother May Eyes:
- Infinity Of Possibility
Seeing with may eyes means opening and re-opening to possibility. As we age and as history repeats itself in disappointing and disillusioning ways, we turn away from expansion. We contract into ways of the world thinking. Like the old, childhood ‘Mother May I’ game, we let someone else give us permission to move or do. We let others in our communities and society at large define for us that this is how it is ~ whatever that ‘it’ is. Doctors, law makers, neighbors, family members, internet, television can all contribute to your life’s prescription and subsequent decisions. Let us not lose sight of infinity ~ and beyond! We actually live in the midst of a holy Mystery full of infinite possibility. Our May Calendar at New Thought Families celebrates The Mystery daily this month. Open to the Mystery! ‘Question Authority’ comes to mind as one way to look past finite reality into expansive possibility. It starts with realigning with the truth of who we be, seeing a glimpse of our infinite potentiality, and then taking action steps daily to keep opening and co-creating what we see. Experience the video The Mystery here and on our New Thought Families Inspiration page this month. - Dedicated Daily Devotion
As we spend time daily in spiritual practice, so we reap the harvest of expanded awareness and open heartedness. In living our potentiality, dedication and devotion are a necessity. I have been prone towards overwhelm and over-do for way too long and am dedicated to committing more fully to less. It is an uphill climb for me though demanded by exhaustion that can come from years of constant output. Mothers (and some fathers!) make great teachers for how to show up in constant, daily devotion, dedicated to the well being of our young. For any and all co-creations, as we envision birthing, growing, sustaining, may we see with this unconditional, unwavering, disciplined mother devotion! Here is the music video, Mama. Also found on our New Thought Families Inspiration page this month.
3. Consistent Commitment
Caretaking children demands consistency and commitment. As mothers, we prioritize our lives around the needs of our children. Some mothers also juggle in the needs of husband or significant other, aging parents or other family members, work demands and any and all other roles we take on for school, community, church, etc. As our children grow on, our priorities shift with time. Let us remember the lessons of consistency and commitment! Physical and emotional changes can play with our willingness and ability as I have experienced. Yet, when we truly align with what is ours to do apart from the demands of what others think we should do, energy and zeal are right there to fuel our capacity to consistently commit and act! For my part, I continue to be in service to the songs. Next month, the newest CD, We Are Called (with some of my old songs!) is due out. It features a lot of Jeremiah’s 19 year old energies and musical abilities. It can SO be argued that my music doesn’t ‘sell’ yet the songs have chosen me as their mama, some waiting a looong time to be produced! So I continuously, mostly consistently, keep showing up for these commitments! In case you missed the last CD that came out last year, the lyrics and song samples of all 37 short Spirit songs are here!
Another consistent commitment is our annual Feathers Of Freedom Family Camp ~ you can still get a cabin if it calls to you and yours!
4. Co-Creation Manifestation!
As we show up to our Infinity of Possibility with Dedicated Devotion and Consistent Commitment, there are a treasure trove of tools we can employ for Co-Creation Manifestation! I myself intend to integrate some of these more consistently ~ daily! These have to do with experiencing our dreamed reality before it is actually our hands on experience. As Jim Carey did, we can ‘practice’ our reality with visualization, feelings, out-picturings in mind, habits, emotions. Many of us take a ‘God’s will’ approach to how our lives shape up. While I certainly believe in the highest divine order that can bypass our small desires, I also know we are far more responsible, capable and powerful than we know in co-creating and manifesting our lives. To be conscious co-creators, we often need to use tools that release trapped emotions and sub-conscious limiting beliefs to access more of the true power we are created with and are intended to create with!
Sometimes, we are called to keep creating similar experiences like the annual Feathers Camp and sometimes it means saying yes to new callings like this full moon Goddess Gathering I am offering in July! In fact, we are offering several new Creativity Camps this summer found here!
5. Transformation Celebrations!
Mother May Eye … CHANGE! The ability to change is pivotal to the flow of energy and life itself! Spring is a delighted reminder of the beauty of change. We are asked to embrace change constantly yet oh so often our default reaction is to RESIST! Of course, change will persist and insist even if we resist! When we move and flow, we stay happier as well as ultimately more in the control we seek by resisting! As the title track of the new CD, We Are Called sings, “Life itself is calling us from within our hearts. The light that shines in each of us guides us where to start!” For my part, the new CD is the least of the upcoming changes! One of the scariest is moving the Leaping Literacy Library to another online placement and membership software. It is affording me the opportunity to do some massive spring cleaning as well as seeing, believing, trusting in the context of all 5 of these Mother May Eyes tenants! Meanwhile, our Leaping Literacy Library Free Shelf is full of Mothering May goodness! Sign up or sign in!
So! My mindful, Spirit led friends, what transformation celebrations are manifesting in and through your May eyes, hands, and hearts?! I see, know, and affirm your highest and best in all you see, nurture, and manifest! Namaste, Love!
