Inspiration

I am contemplating inspiration. What is inspiration? Where does it come from? It is tied to spirit from the origin of the word itself (see below) and in my experience. What makes inspiration come in full force at times and seem to disappear at others? Is it somehow gone, or are we just not acting on it or listening to it? Maybe we just don't have the time to respond to it?  

Looking back on my blog, there are many posts in 2013 and 2014 when I started the blog, but not many in the 2015 or this year. My inspiration/call to write varies and it seems I am most inspired when my spiritual path is more fulfilled/on track. But sometimes I am fulfilled and not writing. I am just content or my focus is elsewhere. I don't think it necessarily means that I have not been inspired at all in the recent years, but just inspired in a different way and not feeling drawn to do the poetry or writing at these times. But I do feel that when I am most in sync with my spirit, the poetry and writing just flow from me. It is a good sign that I am on track. I am wondering if right now maybe another form of writing is coming as I seem to be drawn to post about my thoughts on certain words/topics.

Here are some definitions of inspiration:

• the process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something, especially to do something creative.
• something that makes someone want to do something or that gives someone an idea about what to do or create
• a force or influence that inspires someone
• a person, place, experience, etc., that makes someone want to do or create something
• a divine influence or action on a person believed to qualify him or her to receive and communicate sacred revelation
• the action or power of moving the intellect or emotions
• a divine influence directly and immediately exerted upon the mind or soul
• the divine quality of the writings or words of a person so influenced
• a sudden brilliant, creative or timely idea

Origin of the word inspiration:

Middle English (in the sense ‘divine guidance’): via Old French from late Latin inspiratio(n-), from the verb inspirare (see inspire).

Origin of word inspire:
Middle English enspire, from Old French inspirer, from Latin inspirare ‘breathe or blow into,’ from in- ‘into’ + spirare ‘breathe.’ The word was originally used of a divine or supernatural being, in the sense ‘impart a truth or idea to someone.’

Origin is similar to that for the word spirit:
Middle English: from Anglo-Norman French, from Latin spiritus ‘breath, spirit,’ from spirare ‘breathe.’

So it seems that when the word originated they knew that spirit was tied to inspiration. Breathe into. I like that. Spirit is tied to breath and we connect to spirit with our breath. So we breathe life into our creations when we are inspired. Spirit and inspiration are really one in the same. The creations are an extension of our spirit and what it is experiencing or wants to express. It is truly a part of ourselves that is being expressed out into the world for everyone to experience, to connect them to our spirit and remember that we are one. We all breathe the same air and come from the same source. Inspiration is truly a result of living in tune with our spirit even if for a brief moment in time. One breath, one moment is all it takes and that spark of inspiration can fuel our lives for many more moments and even days or years or a lifetime.

When I look back at the result of my inspirations, it feeds my spirit and soul. I can remember the feeling that inspired the work. It takes me back to that moment and fuels me again. It breathes that life back into me once more. It is an amazing feeling to both be inspired and relive that through your creations.

I think that if we listen and get quiet and let everything but our spirit/breath fall away, then we tune into the universal force of inspiration and creation. It becomes effortless and flows from us as from a fountain. The eternal spring. It is never ending and we can all partake of it if we but allow it. We each have different things that inspire us and unique ways of expressing that inspiration, but it is all connected and that is why when we encounter something inspired, it touches us deep in our core. We tap into that source from which it came and if we breathe it in, we can fuel our own spark of inspiration.

Synchronicity

I have been feeling a lot of synchronicity lately. I saw a post on Facebook about Synchronicity that got me thinking about it and feeling that I was having experiences in that manner.

Here is the link that was in the post:
http://www.ask-angels.com/spiritual-guidance/synchronicity-awakening-to-the-divine-nature-of-time/

Here is an excerpt from it:
"Synchronicity means exactly this… Being in alignment (in sync) with Divine time.

To experience synchronicity is to experience the magic of the Universe. Synchronicity speaks to the magical coincidental moments of Divine alignment…

When you are in harmony with the flow of life, and the guidance of your angels, you’re likely to experience increased synchronicity.

Synchronicity can come in many forms, such as meaningful coincidences, signs and signals pointing you in the right direction, books or teachers aligning, doors and opportunities magically opening up for you, and improbable meetings with just the right people, at just the right time.

Synchronicities are not accidents, rather they are signals from your guides, angels, and higher self, pointing you in the right direction. Personally meaningful coincidences and synchronicities are often clues which lead or develop into answered prayers."

 Just before I saw the post, I had met a woman at a gong meditation and instantly connected. I found that she had just gone to an event held by a friend of mine on the same day. Coincidence, or synchronicity? I felt the latter. It felt like the universe was telling me that I am on the right track and attracting people and experiences into my life that will nourish my spirit and soul.  

I googled synchronicity and found another description that matches my feelings on the word:
"Now more than ever, synchronicities are people, places or events that your soul attracts into your life to help you evolve to higher consciousness or to place emphasis on something going on in your life. The more 'consciously aware' you become of how your soul manifests, the higher your frequency becomes and the faster you manifest positively. Each day your life encounters meaningful coincidences, synchronicities, that you have attracted, on other words created in the grid of your experiences in the physical. Souls create synchronicities, played out in the physical."
(From http://www.crystalinks.com/synchronicity.html)

I am experiencing so many things that could be random, but that I feel are examples of synchronicity. Facebook seems to be a vessel for my spirit. By liking pages and posts of a spiritual nature and acquiring friends that nurture my spirit, posts and events have been coming to me which heighten that realm. They come at just the right time, and offer me just what I need at that moment. It is like watching a flow that awakens your spirit and lets you know you are on track. It is a visual trail of the path of my spirit at a given moment in time. A record of its journey. It is fascinating and powerful to observe.

I am enjoying watching the flow of synchronicity in my life and feel thankful to be able to observe it and acknowledge it.

Yoga and Meditation Journal - 10/5/14

Well the poetry is flowing again but it has been a while since I have done any journaling on here.
My yoga, walking and meditation are really flourishing, better than ever. I started my practices again about a month ago. It was sporadic until then. The winter and lots of work took its toll on me and I am finally taking better care of myself again. It feels great!

I have been doing my yoga at least once a day, even if only for 10 minutes in the morning. I started going to my classes at my favorite yoga studio, and of course have gone to as many workshops as I have been able. I just had one Friday night and it was phenomenal. It was Restorayin with Thai yoga massage. Heavenly!

The meditations are not quite daily yet, but I think of my yoga and walking as meditations. I really get in the zone when I do them. We have been continuing our weekly meditations at work, They are weekly now but for a while it was bi-weekly or whenever we could do it. I have usually been leading them and it is really a great experience for me to use my intuition and get in touch with my energy.
Our meditation group that we had been doing last year started again and that is great. It has a lot of good energy and I am seeing a huge difference in my life now.

I started daily walks and have been increasing it and now I crave it every day, even in the early morning (although I am usually a night person). I have been walking two to three times a day - just 10 to 20 minutes at a time and not a fast pace. Just to move - I call it moving forward. I mostly enjoy being outside when I walk, even on a rainy day like yesterday. I just put on my jacket and carried my umbrella. I am unstoppable.

My Truth

           My SOUL
        feels trapped
    in this overweight
             BODY

         It yearns to 
          B R E A K 
        THROUGH
           all these 
        layers of fat

    At times it feels 
                             
           FREE

   from its 
       chains 
            of 
         flesh

  When it can 

    LIVE 
               in the 
                            MOMENT
                and 
    take 
              a 
                      DEEEEEEP
                                              BREEEEEEAAAAAATHHH

    I do not recognize
            this 
         IMAGE
     in the mirror

My SPIRIT seeks 
                                 RELEASE
from the BURDENS that I bear

PAIN, SORROW, LONELINESS
HATRED, ANGER, FEAR
have filled this vessel
until it begged for MERCY

HABITS started CHANGING
as each burden was released
The years of NEGLECT
were BEGINNING to fade

The BODY is the TEMPLE
of this SOUL upon the Earth
It needs CARE and COMPASSION
to truly HEAL from its wounds

With each HEALTHY choice I make
A TRIMMER me SHINES through
              
              I FEEL 
   what I will become
               I SEE 
 the vision of what can 
                 BE

  I know I can attain it
  To break these chains 
            and set 
         MY SOUL 
            FREE
         
               To       
        FINALLY
  look in the mirror
          and see
   MY TRUE SELF
    staring back at
            ME

Precious

Golden and shimmering shines her sweet aura
So beautiful and fragile this spirit in my care
Her innocence and purity are very rare

I hold her so dearly
As I caress her soft, silky hair
And say a quick prayer

Then quietly off to dreamland she drifts
While my sweet melody wafts softly through the air
These precious moments are beyond compare

New Beginning

A new beginning 
has opened up for me
My spirit is ready 
to finally be free

In the book of my life
a new page has been turned
I will use all the wisdom
from what I have learned

I am eager to see
what this chapter will reveal
I am blessed to have the chance
for all my wounds to heal

New seeds are being planted
in the garden of my dreams
My heart is overflowing
it is bursting at the seams

Each step that I take
fills me with glee
This marvelous path
is a wonder to see

I'll watch it unfold
as the moments pass by
As words fill the paper
right before my eyes

I'll treasure each morsel
that falls along the way
Looking forward to the next
bright and glorious new day!

Inspiration

The fresh crisp air caresses my face
As the Sun greets me with a warm embrace
The birds chirp and call from their hiding places
Nature blesses me with all its graces

The blue sky above fills me with delight
The dew on the grass shimmers in the light
The leaves whisper as they move to and fro
The trees freely tell me all that they know

Inspiration all around me refreshes my soul,
nourishes my spirit, making me whole

9/19/14
Inspired to write this on a walk in my little park,
with all of nature surrounding me. 

My New Year's Wish

I Wish for All

A Year of Faith

through every struggle
along your way

A Year of Hope
in every moment
amazingly rekindled
from all that were dashed

A Year of Love
filling every heart
healing all the pieces
that have ever been broken

A Year of Peace
deep in every soul
spoken in every language
heard far and wide

A Year of Joy

The Comfort of Candles

Candles bring a warmth,
A glow
To soothe my spirit
When I'm all alone

Their flickering flames
Speak in whispers
Of days long past
When times were simpler

I wrap myself
In their fragrant charm
A comforting blanket
Cheerfully worn

They bring so much more
Than enchanting light
They touch my soul
As they brighten my night

Splendor

I see 
the possibility 
of all that is to come
I smell
the freshness
of a brand new day
I taste
the sweetness
of love in my heart
I feel
the fabric
of my everlasting soul
I hear 
the gong
calling me home

I sense
the awakening
rising from the Earth.
I hope for 
Peace
pouring softly from the sky
I speak
the truths
whispered in my ear
I listen
carefully for
the beating of the drum
The ancient heartbeat
to unite us all
as One


I have 
Faith 
that Prophecies 
will come to pass
I will
Rise
higher than 
the Sun
To be
transformed 
into 
Pureness and Light
To see
my Spirit
in all its 
Splendor
Instead of
through a glass darkly

On My Mat

I step onto my mat

I Breathe              
               in
                   the
                         Silence
I drop
           all
                 my
                        burdens

                 I 
         Awaken
           every 
            pore

        My Spirit
            feels 
             its 
        heartbeat

            It is 
           Free 
             to 
         explore

I pledge 
             Acceptance

I dismiss
              all
                   my
                        flaws

        I move to 
       the rhythm
              of 
         my inner 
           Guide

       The stress 
         releases
            and 
     my thoughts 
         subside

       The quiet 
    transports me
      To a realm 
            of
          pure
          Bliss
 
       Feelings
            of
         Peace
      Permeate 
           my
          Soul
         
          The             
       myriad
       pieces
      become 
       Whole

I lie
       in
            Shavasana

I slow 
          down
                    my
                          Breath
I savor
            every
                     Moment

I Treasure 
             every
                    part

     I place them 
        carefully
      deep inside 
       my Heart
        
       Namaste

Moon Dance

I howl at the moon
in my manic state,
Unable to control
my urge to stay up late;
At the witching hour,
I give into my fate.

My spirit soars as high
as the tide that swiftly rises;
I feel it draw me in,
as it excites and energizes;
With the moon as its strong ally,
there can be no compromises.

The endless energy
pulses though my veins;
Intoxicating and alluring,
never seeming to drain;
I enter into a world
where I feel no pain.

So I dance under the moon,
and ride high with the tide;
Feeling every beam and wave,
till they subside;
This is the part of me
I no longer have to hide.

Listen

Spirits call us from above,
Sending messages of love;
Ancestors long passed away,
Speak to us in their own way.

Sweet angels standing by our side,

Their golden wings open wide,
Protecting us from any harm,
Soothing us with their charm.

 

These helpful guides are waiting for us,

Amid the mayhem and the fuss;
Stop for a moment and listen clear,
For you will find the answer there.

Deep Within

The Light of God fills my soul,
Making me complete and whole.
My destiny becomes more clear,
Each time that I release the fear.

My inner child comes to me,

Filled with laughter and with glee.
The tiny voice within me grows,
Guiding me with what it knows.

The deeper and deeper that I go,

The stronger and stronger the energy flows;
Until I reach that special place,
That brings with it abundant grace.
