Spiritual Transformation: Summer – The Fullest Expression of Abundance

- Monday, July 6th, 2009
Summer is the fullest expression of the abundance of life and it comes with an invitation to play and benefit from that fullness in our lives. This year it is even more important that we choose to enjoy what we have, here, right now and find happiness in the simple things we do daily.
Expansion is the energy of summer and why we so love this season and respond with activities that bring us closer to our friends, families and nature. However, at the same time that expansion is beckoning us to move with it, we might have noticed a little discomfort or reticence as we are still adjusting to the parts of our lives that want to contract or pull in as result of all the changes we have witnessed in the previous seasons and the fear that came with them.
Sure we agree we need to spend less, and save more and redirect our energy to our potential to create our future, while at the same time adjust to what our lives looks like now, we might feel a bit of the push/pull effect. Perhaps a little uncertain about how much can we celebrate and open to this summer energy with so many things still unraveling and dissolving… so many directions unclear….maybe just a little hesitant to step fully into this summer experience?
What we have found to be true when we embrace our power as conscious creators is that we really DO have a choice as to how we will respond to whatever comes our way and this choice feeds an outcome. This doesn’t mean we can necessarily change how events will impact our lives but we can choose what we will “give back” to our lives as more of what is familiar “leaves our lives.” So being in transition as we are, as individuals and on a more global scale, we sometimes want to wait for clear evidence for a reason to at last exhale, let go and have fun. This might be the Summer in which we just choose to do that even if the evidence that “all is well, time to celebrate,” may not have shown up in outer world terms.
The more each of us trusts in the fundamental laws of cause and effect that are at work, the more we can choose to create our summer days from the simple desire to feel good, be happy, share it and act from this. It is time not only to trust this law but put our faith and our conviction in “all is well” and let that thought resonate through our bodies. The more we act from our inner power to choose our response the more we create it and more “wellness” grows and becomes evident somewhere in our lives. We can all raise our energy reserves and contribute positively this summer by making the simplest choice to be in the moment with “what is” and find enjoyment there. In this moment, take a deep breath, affirm “all is well” and discover the expansiveness of Summer living in your heart.
