love me, love me!

hello world.

life is a bit crazy and wonderful right now. I love it! I have more clinic hours than I did, and am happy about it. I've been working a lot the past few weeks and my energy levels have been lower than I'm used to-I definitely notice a difference. However, I've been spending tons of time with beautiful friends...which fulfills me in a very deep level.

Acupuncture is definitely what I'm supposed to be doing right now. The effort that I put into my studies comes back tenfold. I feel quite comfortable with it and have seen it improve people's lives. I look forward to opening my own practice.

Lately my spiritual practices haven't been so separate from my daily life. That it, instead of setting apart a block of time to 'be spiritual', I've been integrating it. What I think or do all gets processed at a spiritual level. It's not always concious, but I do try. How does this affect me? I am definitely more aware of the Grace flowing through my life. I am not dependent on another person or situation to make me happy, or keep me happy. I've stopped giving power over my life to people and situations.

As for the love me! love me! title of my blog: no clue why it came out. just felt like saying it.

good day.

Trying to be who I AM is a neverending quest. I achieve it for minute moments, and as fleeting as a butterly in the summer, it is gone. However, I am enjoying my life more than ever. I am finally able to see through situations, and see the lesson inherent in them. I don't have to 'live through' problems to see the gift they've come to give me. I just have to stop an ask myself what I wanted to learn that made me attract that 'problem' or situation.

I have a strong visual of my True Self, that eternal Woman and her companions, a sage panther and a dark nile cobra. I've been incorporating that visual, and allow her to breathe her own life essence into this body. What is amazing is how much stronger I feel, a thick cushion of energy around my normally vulnerable areas (neck, sacrum). I feel my companions walking around me, protecting me, guiding me...sometimes delving back into me.

I know this may not make much sense, but believe me...life has never been so beautiful.
