Awakening... becoming aware of our true self...


images
We are all awakening… becoming more and more aware of our true self and the role we truly play in our own life… Through our journey’s experience, we become aware of the impact our choices have in our own destiny and the responsibility we have for everything that comes in and out of our life… We find out what we like, what feels right for us, what we desire and what truly makes our heart beat and soul sing… A true knowingness that resonates with our core.. An ‘aha’ moment that expands and shifts our human consciousness… which in turn attracts NEW ENERGY to come into our life and serve us… A NEW ENERGY that can fulfil new possibilities and new potentials… beyond anything our mind could imagine…
The NEW ENERGY waits patiently for the human to trust them self implicitly, owns their Sacredness and Creatorship and demands that it serves them (to serve their soul’s passion to experience, express and know itself in all glory).
This is however, beyond all comprehension of the mind… to think that the ‘embodied human (body, mind & soul)’, can steer his own life based on a conscious choice… and immediately sends doubt to the forefront of the mind to remind us that… ‘IAM a mere mortal so nothing is going to happen’, ‘IAM not good enough’, ‘I don’t deserve it’… and YES indeed we stop the flow of energy coming in to serve us, seeing and feeling nothing but our continued struggle… we have allowed our emotional energy (the mind’s extended arm) to attract more of the same… more victimhood, struggle and fear… and we repeat… ‘see it really doesn’t work’… IAM poor me, IAM worthless, IAM depressed, IAM nothing… and we create an ever bigger downward spiral for ourself to get lost in…
Only when we accept that everything is just an experience, becoming aware of our true self and our part in creation… Allow our mind to be quiet and go beyond it… Allow our human self to integrate with our soul, our divineness… Allow ourself to trust or have faith that our hearts desire is fulfilled NOW… because we asked for it in our own name…. can we finally wait in patience, savouring the present moment, understanding that our wish has been fulfilled spiritually or in a dimension that we cannot fully perceive yet… as it takes a little longer for the physical body and mind to catch up because of its density…

A Woman Awakens...


IMG_3087
Something inside me stirred, it had been a long and arduous road…
experiencing the calm, the drive, the dark, the light, the pain, the love, the sadness and the peace…
And like a bolt of thunder and strike of lightning, I brought myself to this moment, and knew with all my being…
I was the dance, the union and coming together of the two extremes…
In each moment I could choose to celebrate, to cooperate and playfully create a life so longed for…
something inside me stirred, the energies had found each other and wonder exploded…
I AM both the inner and outer, the inspiration and creator, the nurturer and builder…
Will you join me in your new awakened state to follow your dreams, create your desires and live together in a peaceful and loving earth.. right here…NOW…

The Wisdom of Golf... at Lorca Golf Resort, Spain



IMG_1266
It was an early rise for another great golfing day… we drove down, along the Costa Calida Coastline, a good half hour away, to Lorca Golf Resort, Spain…  We had an early start time, making sure we were ahead of others golfers wanting to play their round before the sun gets too hot…  The weather is really warming up now… its around 30 degrees… although during the mornings and evenings a strong cool wind blows, sweeping up everything in its path that is not properly grounded…
Lorca golf course is quite new and barren land, on the outskirts of the old city of Lorca in the middle of nowhere.  It is quite a hilly course, surrounded by rough mountains with massive ravines zig zaging across it… where many of my balls found their new home… Unlike Desert Springs, the land is bland and colourless, I felt lucky to come across these lovely wild purple thistles… The land felt good though… natural, wild and alive…  I felt that whoever had developed this land was connected to it and was working from his hearts desire…

Today both Tom and I were buzzing with a renewed sense of excitement, we were walking outdoors in yet another wonderful natural landscape and had another chance to play our very best game of golf… We would see later by our final score, just how calm and empty our mind remains … only focusing on our individual game in this beautiful moment… Oh what a day…

We were both playing well… we were relaxed, not power hitting the ball, but loosely gripping the club and allowing the club to lift the ball into action… oh we had some lousy shots, but understood that the ball either wanted to visit the sea-side and play in the sand or hug a tree and that was ok… we felt free from the end result, the score, which quite ironically mostly allowed us have a good score…

Today’s interesting happening on the golf course was watching a tour of spanish cyclists cycling around the outskirts of the course, up and down the rough mountain terrain in a good tempo… the human machine driving tirelessly to get to the finish line with a feeling that he’d given it his all…
We were playing the last couple of holes before reaching the 19 for some nice refreshments… we felt invigorated, we had played the course in under 3 hours and our score was looking excellent…   So the day was still young… and we looked forward to diving in our pool and soaking up some more sun on this lovely Sun Day…

If you would like to come on a golfing holiday here on the Costa Calida, I would only be to happy to arrange it… we have beautiful accommodation on Mazarron Country Club, a short distance away from many good golf courses in the area…
