Beltane Blessings

As you move from the newness of Spring into the unknown of Summer, you must walk in faith. Sacrifices of time and preparation will be asked of you, in order that your journey be safe and fulfilling.

Just as you trim away the new growth of a plant so that it may grow fuller, so you must let go of the old, outdated ideas that have held you back, such as the idea that there are limits to what you can do. 

As a race, you have many in the forefront who are discovering that the only limits you have are those which have been fearfully ingrained into your imagination. 

It is time to let go of these. Release past family patterns and heal your energy and  honor your ancestors who have made sacrifices to allow you to come to this place and time.

Have faith, that as you release, a newer stronger you is being created. Like a well-pruned plant, you will become strong and solid and grow in all directions.

The only limits you have will come from the container or space in which you plant yourself.

These are constructed by your reoccurring thoughts and words that are negative. You have used them in the past to protect yourself, but in doing so, you have created a shield made of sand. It will only crumble and the grains will get in your eyes.

Serve the Earth by becoming the best person you can be. Make apologies when you must, but no excuses. You are not here to be perfect, you are here to learn and grow.

Let go of what does not serve you, walk in faith, and you will have a bountiful harvest very soon.

Forgive and Fly

Forgiving those who have hurt you can be a difficult process, yet failure to forgive holds no one imprisoned but you.  

Always look for the gift.

Did someone hold you back? Think of a rubber band being pulled back tighter and tighter until it must be released and then its contents (you) are propelled forward at tremendous speed. This rapid growth would have taken much longer had you not first been held back.

Did someone break your heart? Like a bone that is set improperly, sometimes a heart must be re-broken so that it can be set correctly and heal completely. Only then can you find real love.

Did someone steal from you?  Then you most likely learned the value of what you have.  Give thanks for all of your blessings, and more will come to you.

Did someone insult you?  How wonderful that they have spoken to you what is not true.  How lovely it is that their words and actions push you towards people who have more compassionate and loving hearts.

Pain always brings a gift if you have the courage to look for it.

Remember, in forgiveness, you are not condoning the behavior, you are rising above it and freeing yourself from it.

You cannot hope to fly when your ankles are shackled . Forgive, let go, and take off! Your glorious future awaits!  ~Silas
