Standing in Your Light: Being Generative
When you stand in your sovereignty and self-light, you can stand in the moment – free from the past, free from habit. In that moment, you can choose what you will generate and give to the world, and what you receive from the world in return. You are a generative source and therein lies your capacity to bless our world and to make a difference within it.
Generativity
The idea of generativity is at the heart of Incarnational Spirituality. Our generative nature puts things into the subtle environment that everybody who is sharing that subtle environment has to deal with in one way or another. The path of spiritual development is one of learning how to be aware of that and how to modulate it so that what we're generating becomes a blessing to our environment. It gives positive energies and qualities to that environment, which then can be helpful to others who share that environment with us.
Standing in Your Light: Holding
Holding is a universal principle active at all levels of existence. The Sacred holds the universe in its love, creating the conditions—the space of beingness and potential—that allow the cosmos to exist, flourish, and develop. Gaia, the World Soul, forms the boundaries and holds the space that allows planetary life to evolve. The Soul creates and holds a space that allows a physical incarnation to exist and hopefully develop and flourish as well. The important realization for us is that Holding is something we can do. It’s not just for Gods or Souls or Planetary Beings. We can hold ourselves and the world around us in our love, deliberately creating a space for blessing and unfoldment.
Standing in Your Light: The Touch of Love
The Touch of Love exercise evolved out of something that I used to do when I would find myself in an energetic situation that was troubling. If I was out in public or I was in a meeting or a group or in a situation where the subtle energies felt turbulent or for one reason or another I felt a bit under siege, I discovered that if I reached out and touched something and put my attention on a flow of subtle energy moving out from me that that helped to ground me and it helped to dissipate whatever impact I might be feeling at that time.
Standing in Your Light: Sovereignty
When we stand in our sovereignty, we tap into our strength and our ability to meet the challenges of life. How may we stand, not only in our own sovereignty but in a way that draws forth and empowers the sacred sovereignty of the world around us and all within it?
Standing in Your Light: Joy Refining
In this exercise, you’re taking the bits of joy you’ve been mining and refining them into a shining presence within you that you can offer back to the world.
Central to this idea is the realization that you, like every other being and object on earth, are immersed and embedded in the living energy field of the Soul of the World. What becomes part of your personal energy field by induction flows out to become part of the field of the World. In this way we all radiate energy into a common pool which we all share.
March 2025 Equinox Festival: Balance and Resilience in Turbulent Times
Festivals are a time of celebration, a time when humankind honors Gaia’s essential energies in its dance through the seasons of the year. When we celebrate winter’s deep renewing silence or the vitality of summer’s growth, we touch into energies that can open spaciousness or uplift and renew us. Celebrating Nature’s seasonal energies also connects us with valuable resources we can draw upon to meet the turbulence of daily life and current human affairs.
Standing In Your Light: Joy Mining
So the heart of Joy Mining is paying attention to moments of happiness, lightness, pleasure, and all-around OK-ness when they happen to us, even if they seem like small pleasures indeed. By paying attention, you are sensitizing yourself to this heightening energy. Further, it helps you realize that for you to pass on joy into the world, you don't have to be in a crazy state of ecstatic happiness yourself. Though I can say from my own experience, as you practice this, the sense of being in the midst of joy gets progressively stronger until it can truly lead to moments of bliss and ecstasy in the midst of ordinary life.
The Whispers of Inner Truth
I trust my body's innate wisdom to guide the way forward. My body knows what is needed. My body knows truth. In each moment of pain or despair, I look for signs of "breaking open" rather than "breaking apart." With tender anticipation, I'm making space for whatever version of myself is about to be born.
This era calls for unprecedented courage — the bravery to feel the truth within us and let it reshape our selves and our world. Let's walk this path of transformation together, guided by the profound wisdom of our sacred bodies.
What Can I Do?
When I tune into the subtle realms, it's like a radio with various frequencies. Some channels overflow with healthy life and blessing. In these frequencies, life flows in service to all beings. Yes, there are also frequencies filled with pain and obstruction, largely emanating from human behavior. It’s not a matter of choosing one over the other but of attuning to one in order to bring healing to the other.
