On our last beautiful day here in the Northwest I had a wonderful hike along the Columbia River. It is when I’m walking in nature sometimes I have my best epiphanies. I had this great visual of how we protect ourselves over the course of our lives with this armor that we shield ourselves with energetically. I’ve known this but seeing it with fresh eyes is always revealing. Due to multiple challenges we have over the course of our lifetime,

can build up walls around ourselves that we are truly not aware of. Even though I am most open, I realized over the course of this year with all the stress that has been zooming around me, I had built up armor, protection from the stress load. Once I saw this I was able to change it. My invitation to you is for you to realize that we all have armor of some kind that keeps us from seeing the true world. The world as it really is. I visualized the armor around me or the wall of protection, dissolving around me as I walked. The armored-wall visible in my mind, was instead this beautiful diaphanous light around me that allowed energy, love, perception into my space. Everything became brighter and more clear. The birds sang louder, the sky was radiant blue. And it may have been only in that moment, that richness, however, having the ability to see our world more clearly, crisp in it’s lines and sharp reality, is a wonderful gift. I invite you to awaken the same ability within yourself. Visualize the outer walls of protection you have created over your lifetime, dissolving at your feet. Imagine only beautiful light around you with Crystaline clarity available. Imagine seeing the world as it truly is and enjoying-loving the ability to be here now, in the present moment. See the diaphanous, wondrous energy encapsulating all of life, notice the dull and dead spots too, showing you reality from a new perspective. The more we shift our perceptions, the better able we are to live in gratitude, allowing only love into our inner sanctuaries leaving the stresses behind. We can then see the world as it truly is. Cosmic sunshine to you.
