face the boogie man
when i was a kid
i had an active dream world.
i would dream of the ‘end of the world’
and
often of
the Boogie Man chasing me.
lots of chase dreams.
sometimes i could see the chaser
sometimes not.
at one point
my mom told me:
‘turn around and face it’.
WHAT??!!
turn around and face what hunts you?!
what chases you?!
and
‘use a magic pen
to X it out.’
omg!
can i do that?
do i have the courage to face it?
isn’t running easier?
what if it kills me?
eats me?
or worse!
hmmmm.
yes. dreams feel freaking real sometimes.
the other day
my son said to me:
‘mom. i had a dream that i was standing on a cliff and
this guy was gonna push me off. then i realized i was dreaming
and i just grew wings…..’
hmmmmm.
ok.
so how many of you are totally freaking out right now?
are you caught up in:
‘what the fuck was i thinking?
and
i can’t believe i did that.
and
bla bla bla, i pretty much suck.’
the sith lord and the jedi are battling in your brain.
the dark side takes a swing
and
you fall down.
but you get up…..
back to the X.
what IF you DID turn around and face it?
look it in the eyes?
all of those dark places within yourself
have taken form
and
it feels pretty scary.
that deep layer that has flavored your life
your choices
your reactions
your beliefs
is surfacing
and
it feels big.
here are my thoughts
<as if i haven’t been sharing them all along! ha!>
i had this heart experience in Peru
that
if you read my offerings
you know already~
that experience showed me
how to BE that <heart space> for you.
i am BEing
sharing
the direct heart connection
with you
so you can feel safe
to turn around and
FACE
the Boogie Man.
take a breath.
feel your heart.
it’s going to be ok.
you WILL get thru
and
you DO have a choice.
what do you choose?
are you a sith
or
a jedi?
