Integrative Spirituality

GATHERING together, those who are consciously walking the Path of Light,  matters.

GROUNDING in the Light matters.

ANCHORING it on Earth, matters.

THE WORK matters.

The WORK is not political.

It is not housed in traditional religious structures, though interfaces through any of them.

It is not  masculine or feminine.

It IS living from an experiential point of balance, within.

That is ONENESS being held to the degree one is holding it.

This generally requires a clearing of all that you are not;

misperceptions,  hidden agendas…

living human law rather than spiritual law…

For me, the only thing really happening on this Earth, is the WORK;

all who are dedicated and committed to holding the light within.

Yes! The light is reflected everywhere externally, if you look for it!

But more, it is within.

All ‘Work’ is toward the flowering of that inner space;

toward first seeking, then finding,

to touching that, experientially, INSIDE,

to *begging* for more of that.

SO MANY PEOPLE *think* accessing the light, traveling, exploring consciousness,

is separate and apart from their daily lives. It is not.

It can be…but this is not integrative spirituality.

It’s disassociated.

Misconceptions, misperceptions about ‘what to do with’ IT?

Holding and Living the Light is not a linear projection of it outward.

Transmission of the Light requires you are holding it within.

The principle of resonance applies here; not projection.

It is turning one’s life inside out — and doing whatever WORK it takes

to accomplish that experience of living life from the inside, clear, empty to fill.

On the evolutionary spiral, here is an equation for you!

Light to Awakened Inner Light

has an undercurrent in its learning curve, that begins with New Age/Metaphysics,

and evolves to Integrated Spirituality.

Light………………………………………..Awakened Inner Light

Metaphysics………………………………Spirituality

The divining rod; The Divine Feminine.

Ask yourself,  man or woman; have you opened the inner feminine space, experientially.

It is a turnkey — and a necessary component of living the spiritual life.

Foundational, in fact.

Without it?

Just more talking heads.

Real People

There has been a thread on Facebook I have been following, and noticing I have lots of response to…

We have a very symphonic spiritual movement afoot all over the planet.

And, people judge facets of it according to their own belief systems, fears, and agendas.

Or, people open to facets of it according to their broken belief systems,  perhaps broken lives and painful living,

or their desire to know and explore something beyond the apparency.

It is all about the Light, and the myriad forms available

wherein that Light may be held, cultured, anchored, and simply, peacefully  lived.

One person spoke of who needs gurus or spiritual teachers…well…some people do, some people don’t!

Gurus can hold the light, avatars can  hold the light — all those we can put on pedestals may hold the light; from practitioners  to spiritual teachers and leaders. IS THE CONSCIOUSNESS OPEN.

Angelics  hold the light — fallen angels do not:)

But the truth is, everyone holds the potential to live light, though not everyone is awake to that.

That’s a lot of forgetting:)

REAL PEOPLE are everywhere: in a brief exchange, a passing glance, with a cashier when buying groceries, with the farmer plowing the field, the maid in the hotel, or a friend sitting next to you at home by the fire.

Are you open to receiving that exchange?

I always look to see if the Real Person is shining from within; always. Do you?

I guess my question is,  are you living from your Presenced Self within;

and if not,  why not?

Landing the Angels: Gathering the Tribes

There is  a very *hot* topic in the spiritual movement — one that’s been walked and talked around for years now; channeling. It comes up for me because I am delivering a 2.5 day event at the Abbey of Mont St Michel this coming April, called LANDING THE ANGELS — the pilot class of which occurred on the north coast of Iceland many years ago  now…

I follow the alignment of Opening YOUR Channel; the alignment of opening one’s inner receptivity to the listening faculty, as first step; the alignment of gathering in from the stars and realms beyond the veil, all that is love, all that is light, all that is Divine.

I’ve heard  from people in the movement challenged by this particular facet — those who have tried — those who have worked diligently over time to ‘channel’ — just as I myself did over 20 years ago. I’ve gone through my own challenges, disbeliefs, questions, doubts, ego clearings — and energetic clearings:) it’s all there.

I think one of the main things to remember is that if you are drawn to explore this type of Work?

You have a fairly open  mind.

That is important, not only for channeling — but for growth in general.

Because one of the biggest challenges any of us face when involved in spiritual growth, is finding and  dismantling our own belief systems that hold ‘it all’ in place — ‘it all’ being how we have it set up in the mind.

Channeling is one of the tools that literally takes you underneath the ego structure, and drops you into the ineffable quickly, and — in joy.

But I would say ask yourself what it is you are seeking; do you have a preconceived notion about what channeling is, or what or who you are going to channel? Give it up before you step into the Circle.

Is the potential available for revelatory unfoldment? Yes.

Is there potential for meeting a guide or guardian? Yes.

Is the potential available for connecting with the angelic realms? Yes.

What is your vibratory note?

High consciousness holds fulfillment of potential.

But if you are attached to it looking a certain way, you set yourself up for a longer, harder road to walk.

Channeling holds Divinity within it.

But one really has to get out of the way for that vessel to open, to fill, to radiate the light present, and to serve.

Landing the Angels has purpose; for me it began years and years ago with Return of the Bird Tribes, and  Starseed Transmission — and the awareness we are in wave after wave of the gathering of this one soul we are.

It continues to unfold; IT does not go away.

Oneness sounds its note, beckons us to hear the call, to respond, to be present.

I am listening.

I  dedicate this piece of Work  to the gathering of the Tribes, at the utterly sacred vortex of Mont St Michel — home port to Archangel Michael.

From all across Europe, all across Asia, all across this Earth; may we gather together in commonality of light and purpose, to continue to  feed and support  and share the tides of change we are all so sacredly a part of.

If your purpose is to be a pure, clear channel of the Light — you can.

May we all meet and greet in the shining light of love we hold, for the good of all.

Blessings,

Ani

Woman of the World: Birth

I am in the beautiful, abundantly rich & fertile Willamette Valley, awaiting the birth of our first grandchild.

It has been a long wait, considering I came in ahead of time, and the due date has passed by two weeks…that date has been re-set.

There have been many ponderings, and it’s not over yet!

The continual hand-offs to my daughter, as mother, unto her own intuitive directing, embracing all points of empowerment, have been sometimes difficult, yet moment to moment profound.

As she births into motherhood, and I re-live my own, I find myself birthing too. into a deeper, richer embodiment of self and purposeful existence.

This letting go opens me to reaching into the Unknown for my own next level.

It’s either that or die.

I’d rather be purposefully busy in the meantime:)

How about you?

Frequently I find myself bowing to those on the road before me who have laid open the Way; holding lanterns that swing silently along the Path, their gained wisdom illuminating my own next step, a whisper away, if but that I am listening.

Today it is Helena Roerich, mother of Agni Yoga, whose writings from the ‘30s roadmap the way for woman of the home – to woman of the world.

What does that mean? How can that happen?

From the shock and awe of childbirth, to raising children, to soulful development, to flying the nest, you will find woman of the home.

Then what?

Many a woman considers herself role-less, purpose-less; grieves her loss, and gives up her life force to a vague mis-perceived idea that  bearing children is the end of the road. Not as true now as in the 50s and 60s, it’s still out there.

I would call that grieving a loss of self by calling it done at that point.

To graduate from woman of the home to woman of the world is not a certificate granted, nor a nobility born into…it is wisdom gained from a lifetime full of experience, higher awareness…it is continuing  to choose the gift of life living if but that She is paying attention, and discovering where that wealth of beingness can be of service. This is Woman of the World.

Living the New Archetype

I, one of thousands of women, just participated in and received bountifully the gifts offered, from an on line telecast through Women on the Edge of  Evolution with Claire Zammit, and guest, Dr. Jean Houston.

Highly recommend tuning in each week…

Jean Houston was throwing out in graceful but rapid fire, jewels.

She talked about the importance of  THE NEW STORY, and living it — not just embracing the old archetypes — but being the co-creators of the new story.

That requires — well — embodying the new archetype.

To embody  the archetype? The new one? The emerging feminine?

Where IS that?

Within. It is within. Been there all along…

Once found, you may turn inward and look to meet, greet, and merge with the energetics and awareness offered you. Then, take that out into the world and make it real.

Okay.

I’m down with that.

Embracing the archetype…living the new story…becoming the shining…

When  she put it all together, I realized that my own walk has had many archetypes participating and guiding me all along the way. I have *negated* that they WERE that, so my first shift today was to  re-calibrate  my perception, and bow to all the facets within that have been guiding me.

Goddess, I love integration.

I’ve not seriously invested in putting  identity to them before — partly because of the danger of doing that — you know — pitfalls, ego attachments, demi gods, pedestals  –  so I have not invested in any one of them, either by my own hand or others’ attempts.  And,  partly because I surely can’t go around saying ‘I’m so and so’ when actually, I am only me: Ani Lea.

Change agents take  the change you are in, reflect  all the facets of that change, then offer it(you)  to you on a silver platter.

What morsels, what tidbits, pearls, will you finger through on that platter, then take into you?

Therein lies the embrace.

I am currently working in  my inner temple space with a long-present, much-ignored archetype who did not ever go away:) And after hearing Jean, I realized this old but patient One IS the new archetype — the multidimensional representative of *what that is* within me.

I connected the dots, and know this is true for me, because  the next level of work I am carving out to deliver? It is for HER.

So today, the rubber met the road.

I am just sitting in this new awareness — and feel like I have been given the greatest  gift ever; a glimmering peak into more of the soul, and an ever-deepening, enriched purposeful existence.

Bowing to the God Within us All, Ani

Feminine Power Global Community

Or put it this way: the veil is lifting, isn’t it.

So when the curtain rises, what do you look like?

Are you in your shining?

Are you veiled and hiding?

Are you working with every morsel of your being to shine

and be in the fullness of the endowment that is your identity

and expression of life living through you?

These are astounding times.

Today I found Feminine Power Global Community: Women on the Edge of Evolution.

Or it found me.

There are so  many of us!

The years of work, the gathering afoot, the emergence of She who We are individually and collectively, is this interconnected global community. And what I find is that each woman who chooses to participate? Has already made Her choices and is walking the walk — perhaps silently, perhaps socially — certainly always in Service — but the silent rise is on, and all of us who are integral — and know it — are a living representative of this embodiment. I do stand as one of all of us.

There is ‘an emptiness’ in that feeling. A nakedness of simply being:)

So check in: where are you in your own evolution?

Are you shining?

Are you hiding?

Are you working on yourself, polishing your inner mirror?

Are you letting fall all that is not love?

Are you a woman on the edge of evolution?

Check in– and check it out.

These are indeed the times of miracle and wonder.

Not So Fast

How I’d love to whip out the piece that is Spiritual Tourism. I thought I could. But it is a vast horizon full of pit holes, puddles and the necessity to navigate in complete truth and integrity, honoring every single hole, detour, illusion and perception as a part of the industry. It’s in process but not posted yet…

a bad rap and not.

We’re In It

Well, if any of you still think ‘the shift’ is out in the future, you’re stuck in the past.

We’re in it now. I’ve had people say to me, ‘I can’t believe what’s going on right now…there are so many changes, and I have to prepare myself for what’s to come.’

To which I say, there IS no future. What’s to come is happening right now.

This *experience* you are within?

Transmutation.

Cellular shift. Even that sounds mild to the visceral of it on a day to day basis.

Employing all one knows, embodying all the consciousness one holds in a moment to moment practice of living — and living as love — this is the new roadmap of *center being chanted* — like monks in the monastery — we are in a constant chant of Being Here Now.

Looking to the past is ensnaring.

That sounds frivolous. But it is not about looking to the past and repeating it again and again. It is about historical gain FROM the past and shifting into a different, new operating basis. Is that not occurring?

Looking to the future?  Look to living from the embodiment of the gains you have made, practicing compassionate living…and living from spiritual law…moment to moment, step by step carving a future from conscious living.

I can remember years and years of saying ‘we are birthing new forms’ as if it was a news flash! It’s not.

We are in the ever-constant state of existence — BEING essential nature.

Put that up next to 3D reality and how things ‘should be’? There are divides.

Hold onto your hats,

Find each other as the chant grows,

And stay utterly true,

To You.

I Reclaimed Her

I reclaimed Her one day, when the skies opened and the earth supported me; one day while I literally, was walking the ancient labyrinth of Chartres, when I had been invited to partake in the wound, to support its existence, to enable it — with very, very high stakes.

What happened by my then-discernment and understanding precisely what I was involved in, the choice I made, the result of that choice humanly, was an odd combination in quick succession; first a cracking, then a release of the holding, then an emptying out.

You hear it all the time — empty to fill. It’s part of the language in the movement of the feminine…Empty, Woman.

You really don’t know what it means until — it happens . That is what gave me the next moment’s gift I had only read about; the angels were singing layers upon layers that echoed across an infinity unharness-able by the human ear, unimaginable by 3-D reality, but yet pouring through me in symphony and light that brought me to my knees.

People were walking the labyrinth all around me. No one noticed. No one could, I guess. Clearly they weren’t hearing what I was listening to, or we’d be a cathedral full of fallens on our knees.

But I didn’t notice    anyone on their knees shocked with the symphony — except me. And I was too involved in the opening except to say, there were all these people around…and around and around they kept going.

I staggered. And kissed the ancient stones. Said thank you.

They were very cool on my lips. And oddly, intimately familiar.
I don’t know how else to say it.

I waited there, on my knees, palms opened out, taking in the stone, until IT moved through the exquisite sounds and harmonics, the stillness within that was listening… and until I could stand up.

I didn’t know then that this was my moment of reclamation. I knew something big happened. But you can’t really project ‘big’ out into the future that it means this or that — you can only process and integrate it as a shift, and let evolution carry you forward.

I worked years walking that path of reclamation — each gateway clearly one to walk through. I walked it for myself and with all who have come in to share and witness; to touch and hold the sacred, available experience at Chartres Cathedral.

Every movement into and with Chartres — is profound.

Here I am, years later, and I still open into that walk whenever asked. It’s part of my blueprint.

There is an uncompromising element to reclamation; a moment when you cannot any longer give sway to what isn’t, as real as it is.

This may sound crazy. I figured out years ago if this was craziness I was walking, it was far more valuable than a cage, so I stuck to it.

It’s worth it. But it’s a secret. And, it’s well kept.
It’s earned, it’s sacred, it’s holy.
And, it’s all yours for the asking.

But enter yet another misconception: you hear all the time, be careful what you ask for. And this is very true. But if you think ‘it’s yours for the asking’ means ask and you shall receive? Well, that’s true. But it’s not a one shot deal. It’s a constant working, a constant carving of the stone, a constant internal drive that propels you TOWARDS reclamation.

When it happens? That’s a cosmic joke.

Because you don’t realize it. It’s a silent turnkey. The world turns inside out, perspectives shift, cosmic humor really kicks in, and you have to learn all over again  how to navigate, given the shift — how to navigate, and demonstrate the gain.

This takes time, due diligence, and relying on the truth of the revealing to guide you through — and THIS requires trust — and allowance.
