The tone of Animal Presence continues to take my breath away.
As we get clearer in our fields and there is less space taken up in the trappings of traumas demanding release, the dropping in becomes much richer, much deeper...
Back in January, I enquired with a friend’s herd of horses for their guidance on moving forwards, moving on and essentially disengaging from interacting with the past as a current event that we tend to still carry with us like baggage we use periodically to poke, or guilt-trip, ourselves with.
They responded with an experience that it has taken me some time to integrate:
The teaching was less about how to entangle ourselves from the past, or how to remove these stale images from our fields - and more about the cultivation of exquisite presence:
Animal Presence.
A presence that sees,
Not a presence that puts the earworms to sleep.
A presence that is at peace with all it sees,
Yet makes no changes in response.
Not popping out into the astral,
Not a gobbling it down and a solidification in the memory bank;
An ease of energy flow through-put:
In; a tasting
Out; a blessing;
True non-attachment.
Gently allowing the grace of that experience to move through us and to move us in the way that it was divinely intended in that moment, we can fully take in, “see” everything in each Now moment; a threat, a breeze, the surrounding flora and fauna – and in this “seeing” there is an allowing.
To fully see, is to be vulnerable enough for there to be an opening to receive.
When there is a space to receive, through this state of stillness, there is an open exchange of information, of energy, of spirit.
Not stillness as in a forced restraint;
But stillness as in emptiness,
- or, to name it by another; omnipotence.
The NOW
Here in Costa Rica, everyone is very present, very embodied and very conscious of what they're doing. That makes service in restaurants slow and driving on the roads long, but when you're invited into another's field, you know that you have their full attention.
You are aware that you are experiencing their total energetic investment, seen/ felt/ known in the eyes/ body language/ energy field. People aren’t in a rush to get to the next appointment, to secure another house (even when they know the house they live in is being sold), or to get paid for what they are owed – because they continually cultivate trust and faith in those things being delivered to them exactly when they have the capacity to hold them.
Gone (or never here in the first place) are the attitudes of “the more people I see, the more I make”, or “the more I prepare, the more I can sell”, both symptomatic of the “doing-to-get” distortion that is so pervasive - and so energetically draining - in both personal and professional lives elsewhere.
Existing in and acting from the Now moment (ie, the only moment that actually exists), fully present and backed up by all of your (own) energy is a powerful place to be.
One that heals
One that unites
One that creates worlds, timelines and paradigm shifts
The beholder of this energy, acting from the Now moment (the Zero Point Field) is able to channel a supercharged, lightning bolt of life-force into their creations/ interactions - that then in turn get picked up by exactly the people that need the medicine of that there life-force.
And the receiver of this energy feels and knows that they are fully seen on their path.They are able to rest in who they are, without needing to contort themselves into being bigger/ smaller/ better/ worse than, in order to fit in/ fall out with this other person.
They are taken fully for who they truly are, naked, like the day they were born.
In that pin-prick moment, looking with clarity and presence, it is possible to touch into a reflection of our own Divinity in the eyes of another - portals into Creation’s beating heart herself.
