As we begin our clean, new page for 2012 I thought I'd share one of the images from my meditation "clarity harvests." I write about fear which is also Winter's emotion. I was feeling "STUCK" and fearful-of-change when this image appeared.
There was this chick curled up inside an egg with no room left to grow. The chick's feathers were wet and it's little beak was soft and weak. She felt safe but it was a tight and uncomfortable fit.
So, slowly and gingerly the chick began to peck at the shell even though her tender beak hurt with each thrust. It took for what seemed as an eternity until the chick finally broke through her first home.
Then it was effortless as she emerged from the broken container. The chick began to see the expansiveness all around her as she fluffed out her feathers and felt the warm breeze dry out her head, neck, body and wings. So much space. So much wonder at the infinite possibilities that surrounded her as she began to explore her new environment.
The lesson I garnered from this meditation was fear created a container around my spirit. And yes, sometimes it's hard to leave that perceived "safe sanctuary" but well worth the effort to work through and release the fear. For me the reward of breaking through to the other-side was being more in tune with my life's work.
MOM's COSMIC DINER wish you a healthy, loving and productive New Year.
