Today is an auspicious day. 11/11/11.  The “ones” apparently have some esoteric significance. At least that’s what I learned from a friend’s email describing how the grid of the earth would be shifting today, and that new light would be entering to cleanse and to heal.  I don’t have to believe any of it,  I can entertain the possibility that certain moments of the day, week, year, millennium are when certain energies can converge––energies we may neither feel nor understand.    If that is so, I want to take advantage of it.  I want to be available to whatever healing energies might be around, for whatever reason.

And so I took the time to receive.  To imagine light entering my body and healing my cells. To imagine that I am clear on my purpose and that I welcome any help at all to make me more capable of living it.

As this day ends, I feel the need to report.  There was an unexpected cleansing and clearing.  I felt an urgency to revise my approach to my practice .  I rewrote portions of the home page to reflect my new clarity about working with the women among us approaching elderhood who may be weary of daily “career” responsibilities and wondering how to either make sense of, or create, what’s next.  Yes, something clicked for me on this day. That it happened today may or may not be significant.  But I’ll honor my feeling that a new clarity did present itself and see where it leads me.

And so, I pose this question for you:  How easily do you open yourself up and surrender to, the possibilities of mysteries you may not understand?   Welcoming new ideas offers a way to  ”play” and experiment.  If nothing else, it’s a great excuse to take some contemplative time for yourself.
