Celestial Heart Speaks - April 2010

Dear Beloveds,

It is I the celestial heart, the beating of the Divine heart and the source of Divine Love. It is

love that flows through my being; it is the sound of love that my heart makes with each beat.

What is the sound that your heart makes, what is the message that your heart sends to each other and to the universe and galaxies beyond?

This is your unique signature, the mystery of your soul. It is your foundation, the core essence of who you are. It is not a thing that you can manufacture or create it is just who you are in truth and in Divine quality. It contains within it your Divine Colour, your Divine sound combined together to create your Divine Flow. I am love, I am the heart that sounds love through the universes and through the galaxies far and beyond. I am the gateway to Divine Love. I love in essence and love in being.

To go deep deep into your soul, to the reservoir of your Divinity that is the invitation of the energy now. This is done through stillness and deep meditation. Going deeper and deeper into whom that you be, clearing the debris of what is not truth and getting to the place where you can discover the truth of you. Connecting and understanding your soul’s template is a gift of the energy of now. It will provide you with answers to what you have been searching for and take you to a new depth in understanding your connection to all that is. It is in answer to your search for meaning and for greater understanding. It is in response to your need to go deeper into your soul and to express this in reality in the life that you lead and create.

Think of yourself and each other as a frequency within a frequency. Like a note within an octave, each has a place and each when heard together and in pitch create a harmony that pleases and that creates an experience far greater than the experience of the individual note. See yourself as being part of an octave, a family of souls, a gathering, and a tribe.

Within my essence of love, there are so many manifestations and expressions and at each needed level there is a soul tribe, there is this octave. The question that you have been asking is how can you tune and be in harmony. The journey requires the depth of wisdom that your soul can reveal.

(This is where I was guided to stop and co-create the meditation that is below)

Enjoy folks!

FUN

Okay - it has been a while - maybe I have been a little BLOG shy - but why write when you have nothing to share - that is what I feel.... ;-) (And yes, I do have something to share today) .

It is all about FUN....recently as I have been talking to many many clients I have realised how much their spiritual quest or journey has had the fun removed from it. Who ever said it had to be that way? Do you think that is what it is meant to be like. I remember myself thinking this - sat in meditation circles - feeling slightly bored and irritated but thought I have to do this in order to open up that box that has my spiritual gifts and knowledge in it. Okay - it worked to a certain extent, but I have no doubt in my heart and soul that it worked almost despite this and not inspite this. It also probably in some way delayed my spiritual awakening and sense of connection to myself because on one level it didn't seem like fun.

Indeed - there should be regular practice of some sort - discipline for want of a better word. BUT when it is not fun there really is little value in pursuing the activity. I am not talking about resitance because that is something totally different - it is simply when you feel no FUN. You know when you feel that your energy is being zapped, when you feel bored, when you feel like you are simply going through the motions, when not doing the activity is like having won the lottery because you can do something more FUN instead. Resistance on the other hand is when you are slipping into fear - and allowing that to win - when you are avoiding that which will move you forward.

What you do, who you spend time with, what you eat, or watch on TV (note - why watch things that fill you with doom and gloom - it really is a no brainer when you think of it in that way) should be FUN. You should be consciously creating FUN aka JOY in your life and things that are not giving you this FUN/JOY or stop giving it to you should be changed or removed.

The same applies when you are looking to make a decision, however big or small - if it leaves your head spinning and it is not a good place to be - then this is not something you want to cultivate and nurture. The law of the universe is simple - like attracts like - let yourself get muddled - and flit from one thing to another and all you get is more of the same. It is not the outcome of the decision that is often important - because you can do whatever you set your heart and soul to do - it is how you arrive at that point that is important. If making a decision has not FUN in it for you then I would question why you are even thinking about it - let it go and find something else fun to do. It is through FUN that you will find liberation and through FUN you will find solutions and insights.

Fun is your Spirit coming out to play - and let;s not forget that is part of the journey that you are no doubt on - how to connect deeper with your own spirit - well have FUN!

There are no prizes to be one for those who have created the most arduous, difficult path to spiritual enlightenment - and because of this I know which path I will always take - the FUN one...

If you have read this today - trust this was meant for you...so go on I cosmically challenge you to go and have some fun NOW!!!

(Have I used the word FUN enough yet?)

connecting to peace

Staying with peace

This is a meditation that I have been inspired to write. Since returning from my awesome holiday I have been inundated with stories from people who have been struggling again. This year has been such a year of contrast so far, struggle followed by great opportunity. I feel that much of this cycle of duality will be completed in the main soon after 9-9-07. I feel it started with vigour after, 8-8-07 again. I am looking forward to my channelling later this month as I have not sat for a while and there is some much to tell. I can feel it!

In the mean time if you have been feeling the strain after the transformation and growth, my gift to you as inspired by the heavens is this meditation for self peace. Watch as it changes your outer world too...remember the outer world is a reflection of your inner world.

Allow yourself to sit quietly with the phones off. Close your eyes and sit and just listen to your breathing. When thoughts come to distract you, just let them go and return back to your breathing once more. It may feel hard at first, especially if you have so many thoughts floating within your energy field. They are still there but for now you are connecting beyond your mundane world and into a world of peace and a world of bliss.

Just allow yourself to connect deeper and deeper to your own breathing. This is your gateway to a much brighter life.

Feel and sense where you breath is going. Observe it, is it slow, is it calm or is it fast and shallow? What ever it is, make it even more relaxed, even more peaceful. Do not hold your breath as this causes more stress in your physical system, just make each breath you take in more profound. Allow it to reach the toes through to your head and hands. Allow your mind to continue being quiet, dismiss thoughts with your out breath. It may feel like a game of tennis but with practice you will establish your connection with the universal energy of peace. Each of us can access it, we, each of us hold the key.

Start when you are ready to send peace out to your body deliberately. Do this by directing your breath. Start from the toes and work your way up. Spend as long or as little on this. Let yourself feel the relaxation and the peace resonating through your whole physical and energetic system. Your emotions are being calmed as the WHOLE of you is calm and at peace.

It is in this state that you have access to clarity and it is in this state that you are the most effective. Not when you are full up with thoughts and emotions. It is when you are still and when you appear empty that you are actually truly connected.

Invite the energy of peace to stay with you and know that for the rest of the say each breath you take will continue to keep this connection for you. The more you repeat this exercise the more you will change your natural state of being. By becoming a being of peace, you are become a warrior of the light.

When you are ready open your eyes and go about your day, with peace within you and around you.

Till the next time folks, enjoy this meditation. Sometimes it is good to focus on ourselves and re-group and reactivate those skills that we sometimes take for granted. Knowing is not enough, when our actions are not supporting us. Do it today and connect to universal peace!!!

Much love,

the holiday post

Well, hello again....I cannot believe that it has almost been one month since I last posted. My plans of sharing posts throughout my holiday were not to be realised. There were and are Internet connections in Kenya...even in the Maasai Mara (can you believe that?) but they were slow and very unreliable. I am back though, having had what feels like a month off. The holiday although great, felt like it was a detraction from what I have been working on. It was really strange, almost like a blip. I was removed from my path for the few weeks and now I am back on it. It is hard to describe but, I was not so connected whilst away. The big family wedding was a strange experience, something that I found hard to connect to at times. Families often create the most interesting experiences and for me question my ability to hold light at all times. At times it was very hard, people slip back into old roles, old wounds are opened up, and from the older ones these wounds are now surfacing in the younger ones. It seems that people are still struggling to move away from ancestral karma and finding the light to stand in their own truth.

Would I do it again? Unlikely to. Once you have moved away from a way of living to be taken back to it, is just not congruent with the new you. All too often spiritual seekers or teachers are expected to be perfect beings. It is as if, any storm is able to be sailed through. Without defining perfect, which is of course subjective, this is such a flawed way of thinking.

Firstly why would you, unless you were a danger or thrill seeker put yourself in a storm of anykind, this is not the act of self love. Secondly, the strive for perfection is what stops people from moving forward, nurturing their gifts or even changing their life. It is like we need everything to be in the image of our mind, our logic rather than the natural state. I was asked while away, surely to teach some of the things I do, I need to have found inner peace..? My answer was no! I teach this at all workshops I run, all things we seek are on a continuum, and to use the illusion of not having found them as a reason to not move towards them, or as a reason to not work with a particular teacher is a red herring. As I teach , I am learning too. This notion of perfect, or having already achieved perfection is interesting. Surely it is what we are seeking to be, to live in a divine way, even if at one level it is achieved it is always the next level that we are seeking this so called perfection. (Think of the onion, we get to one layer (level) and then there is something else for us to peel, a never ending process!) If it is like that, then we will always be imperfect in someones eyes. There will always be someone who wants to judge you and say that you are not good enough, you are not who you say you are. If this is something you experience, I say smile, and simply disagree without emotion. For no-one can know you as you know yourself. If you want to get to know yourself better then find some workshop, therapist, book etc. that helps you to connect to you much deeper. (check out some of the offerings at http://www.heavenlyspaces.co.uk/ , especially the Conscious Creator email programme)

From a spiritual perspective things are much more complicated as you will know and probably have experienced. Often what we think we are seeing in someone is not what is the truth, as we are choosing to experience something in a certain way. During my recent holiday I found that more often than not, people were playing out karmic patterns in order to clear things and close certain chapters. To the many people involved in these dramaramas and situations it felt like they were so important and earthly behaviours of pride and injustice kicked in. None of it was important, yet it was. Spiritual living is complex and simple. There is no right or wrong, there is no good or bad, things simply are the way that they are.

What have I learnt...? Well, to always follow my instinct and intuition. Is this something that you do..? I am sure you know when you haven't as things are not smooth. My intuition and instinctual feeling had been to not go on this trip, but I went against it. Okay, the trip was not good and nor was it bad, but it was something that was not part of my spiritual path. Being brave and being able to stand up for your own spiritual knowing is something that I will work on over the next few months...I will share exercises and meditations through this blog and my newsletters (click on http://www.heavenlyspaces.co.uk/ to sign up for the free newsletter).

It is really good to be back and being back on a path of service....if you have things to share about this post, or want to describe your own experiences then feel free to comment. The way we learn is through sharing...You, each of you is part of my family. Being born into a family is a limiting deal as each of us is connected, this moves us beyond and into the realms of brotherhood. So if you feel disconnected or saddened by what you see going on in your earthly family, look outside of it and see that there are so many of us that are also connected to you. Sometimes we just need to see the bigger picture!!!!

Until the next time take much care,

Love
Sarupa XXXX

PS - I will be posting a meditation very soon.....

A time to write...

Hi once again,

I hope you have been enjoying using the meditation from the previous blog entry. I know I have. I love to meditate. When I teach meditation I often talk about and get students to experience dancing meditations and walking meditations. I have come across something new – well new to me. 'Writing meditations!'

For years I have been writing into a journal – sometimes daily sometimes a little more sporadically. At most of my workshops I talk about journaling and often get students to spend time noting down how they felt during particular sessions. In my one to ones I encourage journaling as it helps in the healing and transformation process. Why..? Well in my view it helps to ANCHOR experiences. This means it can help to ground your experience. If you have had some revelations about yourself, situation, work, life purpose, emotional state etc. it is good to bring them into your life and to record your insights. Work with them, allow them to grow and flow into your life. However in the magic way the journal also helps to PURGE and RELEASE things. It enables things to be completed and/or released. The sheer act of writing them can resolve your experience of them, it is like your own magic companion! It cannot act in the opposite way that it needs to as it is bound by some Universal magic and a secret formulae that it only shares with other journals! – Okay sounds slightly off the wall, but you need to experience the joy of journaling in order to understand how mystical the experience can be.

I have recently picked up a book by Julia Cameron – The Artist’s Way (see on the right hand side if you are interested in your own copy!) Well in this work book part of the process is what Julia calls the ‘morning pages.’ This involves setting ones alarm earlier than usual (aaargh…I am going to find that a challenge to sustain) and to write 3 pages in your journal no matter what and on anything. The thing is to not read it back not try and analyse it, share it or edit it! It is simply about the process. Having done this only for a few days, I am finding it really liberating. My normal journal pattern has been in the evening, but in the morning, done in this way it feels like an ‘energy shower.’ I feel energetically clean and I have to say my solar plexus chakra seems to be shedding pent up angst, fear, resistance etc. It simply sets me up for the day. Do you not think it is amazing that you can change something already so powerful into something so awesome by making what appears to be a small change….? This is a specific type of journaling where you write about anything it does not have to be about ones psyche, emotions, deep thoughts it can be frivolous, fun, as well as serious and deep. Unlike other journaling experiences Julia says that you should not read them – although I have to say I rarely seem to re-read my journals, I just write them! I write them for me not for anyone else.

Julia in her book compares this morning practice to a meditation and at first I thought ‘hmm…possibly.’ Well let me tell you it is. It is a wonderful way to focus ones mind, release things that don’t serve, gain clarity and remove the blocks that we have on our path. I always feel so excited when I am able to add either a new tool, or a new level of understanding to a tool I already have “in my spiritual tool box.” Those of you who have worked with me will now that I have always said that meditation is not a separate practice it is a way of life, as is the true essence of Yoga in my belief.

If you are not already journaling why don’t you try it? You don’t have to spend money on a fancy journal yet (of course you can if you want to.) Why not just use some A4 paper and create your own book, see how you feel with it. For me, fancy books have always been a must, but then I have a big thing for stationary.

Well I am so thankful that I am able to recapture my journaling habit and take it to the next level. I hope that you are able to join the journaling revolution.

Until the next time, keep on journaling while enjoy the glorious sunshine.

Wishing you all much love, growth, creativity and transformation.

(Please note that this is a cut down version of the full meditation which is available FREE from www.heavenlyspaces.co.uk .)

"Find yourself sitting or lying comfortably. Make sure you will not be disturbed for about 15 minutes or so. Turn off phones and if need be put a do not disturb notice outside the room you are in.

Start by focusing on your breathing. Just notice it for now. It has its own rhythm. Then take some deliberate deep breaths, in through the nose and out through the mouth. Still ensure that you are breathing gently, we are not pushing breath out we are just taking a longer in and out breath. Imagine that you are breathing from your toes. Each in-breath taking in more light, more transformational energy and calling back to you all aspects of you that have been displaced for whatever reason. Every out breath for now is releasing all that does not serve you. As this happens you are automatically filling up with more light. Experience yourself as a being of cosmic light. Feel yourself expanding through this focus on your breathing. Do this for a few moments and as you expand experience the joy and serenity. The beauty, love and light.

Now as you are connecting to your energy, start to become aware of your own energy field. Your aura. Perhaps see the colours in it or give a colour to your aura. See how healthy it looks and how bright it shines. See how it is sealed around you, protecting you and storing you within.

Excellent.

As you are in this state of heightened energy you are ready to float up to the the higher planes of light. Let your light energy float you up, above the earth and into the cosmic Universe. Experience yourself moving up through the dimensions of light, higher and higher until you find yourself stopping on a star. This is your star, the place where you often come to in your sleep state. A place where you are able to connect to the essence of you really are and to those who are supporting, guiding and loving you from the celestial realms.

Find your feet firmly on your star. Let the scenery unfold, create it. Is it day or is it night? Are there trees or are you by a beach. This is your place and you create the imagery that you choose.

You see a path and you start to walk on this path. You have a deep sense of knowing that this is the path for you. As you walk on this path absorb where you are. See how the scenery may change or the colours get more vivid. Feel the sense of connection that you have here, this is part of your spiritual home. This is place you have been to and a place where you will return many times still.

Eventually you get to a place where you can sit. Perhaps a bench, a rock, a clearing in the grass, it matters not. You sit and look around, far, far into the distance. Each breath you take deepens your connection to where you are. In the distance you see a bright and magnificent light coming towards you. You feel know anxiety as every step closer that this light takes you feel an overwhelming sense of love surrounding you.

As this being of light approaches you, you see there wings and know that you are in the presence of an Angelic being. This is your Guardian Angel. Your Guardian Angel approaches you and sits in front of you, takes your hand and looks directly into your eyes. As they look at you they are transmitting love to you and strengthening the connection that you have with them. Allow this to happen for a few moments. There are no need for words, just allow the connection and transmission of love to occur. Feel your heart space opening, feel your self expanding even further for with the love and connection to your Guardian Angel you can get a glimpse of how boundless you really are.

When this transmission is over, your Guardian Angel gets up to leave. Feel no sorrow, as you can return here as often as you like. The more you return here, the more you are able to enliven this connection and anchor it into the 3rd dimension. So as this magnificent being goes back into the distance, you return back to the path where you started this journey. Retrace your steps and as you do see how the scenery has perhaps changed. Nothing can stay the same, everything is dynamic.

Now connect back to your personal energy field, and allow yourself to float back through the dimensions of light and love. Coming all the way back to the place where you started this journey. Start to become aware of your body, the environment where you are. Gently rub your body to connect it back to Mother Earth, put your feet firmly on the ground. Stretch and feel yourself fully back to continue about your day, knowing that you have taken great steps in your spiritual development."

April's Meditation

Welcome to the Heavenly Spaces blog if this is your first visit. I will put information here regularly and share my meditations, channellings as well as the musings from my mind.

Remember before you meditate..make sure you will not be disturbed, turn the mobile off too!. If you like you can play soft uplifting music and light a candle (safety is important). Make sure you are comfortable, do not let meditation/visualisation resistance from the ego stop you from having the experience that you need.

This month's theme is JOY - and this meditation has been channelled from my guides and will help you to connect to the frequency of joy and invite it to be more visible in your life. I hope you enjoy it. Please feel free to leave feedback/comments about it.

"Welcome, find yourself sitting peacefully. Focussing on your own breath. Tuning into the rhythm of your breathing. In and out, gently. Each in breath as you quieten the mind can in take more light, be it white or be it golden. So affirm to yourself that your in breath is taking in more light, each out breath is releasing the things that do not serve you. So practice this breathing now. Do not allow your mind to wander. Let your focus always and smoothly return to your breathing. Each breath in is making you lighter and lighter, as you are releasing more and more of what is not needed for your highest purpose. Do not be fearful as you will release only that which you are ready to release. Excellent. Keep doing this for a few moments. You can do this practice in itself everyday, as a breathing ritual helps you to connect with your inner world and helps you to bring more light into your life. The light has encoded in it the frequency of joy as well as love, peace, beauty and abundance and much more. So to take up this practice for a few moments of your time will serve you to be clearer and lighter.

Feeling lighter and clearer now, see yourself standing at doorway. As you step in it is a great big auditorium, where you are the only audience. As you sit on a chair a big screen comes down. See this happening now with your inner eye. Imagine it, create it. As the screen is down, you are being shown a scene from your life, a scene where you are not finding the actions to bring you closer to joy. Perhaps you are resiting, perhaps you are not being truthful as to who you are, perhaps you are coming from a place of fear. Each time you do this process the understanding and the scene will be different, worry not that it is not correct. The need to be correct also comes from a place of fear. See this journey as a journey fro which you will grow and be joy.

As this scene unfolds and even repeats itself, notice that next to you is a great presence of light. This light is your higher-self. Your wise and all knowing aspect. Ask your higher-self these 3 questions:

1. What can I do to bring more joy to this situation?
2. What do I need to release in order to bring more joy to this situation?
3. How can I bring more joy to my life in general?

Listen and feel for the answers, each time they will change for you do not have one way or one thing that will bring you to joy. It is in the very nature of man to not take action when it is being offered, so we say take this action. See your results, see how you can create the joy in all areas of your life. How you can inspire and create joy across the planet.

Allow these images to fade, now and return back to the door. As you step back feel yourself back in your body, focus back on your breathing. Letting it take a natural rhythm, where it flows in and out. Feel the room that you are in, and feel yourself energised, feel yourself more joyous and ready to have a joyous day.

We leave you in peace and we leave you with joy."
