I was away from the Blog and social media for a few weeks . . . my spiritual “nudges” or signs were showing me my Star wanted to download new magic for my teaching—I need calm, patient downtime for that to happen. In the meantime, what I did was leave you with this small but powerful teaching on recognising the magic.
That day I went down to the harbour here in Cabo de Palos, Spain, to say goodbye to someone who’s been very supportive of my teaching since I’ve been here . . . in this area of Spain, the Mar Menor, I’ve met more sincere and supportive people who I think can be friends, than I did in many of the years I lived in Ireland.
Male [pronounced mahley] calls her bar Yemanja – Mother Goddess Spirit of the Sea – and over my coffee I sat looking at her bar logo with a design of Sea Spirit on it, a mermaid with long streaming hair, blue like the sea. I’d realised a few days ago that Mother Goddess had been guiding me by her Sea Spirit since I was 3 or 4 years old living in a small fishing village in Scotland. The thought brings me the “magic” of the vibration of creation in my being.
The main point to this teaching, is that on Saturday a few days before I’d taught our small Zen Meditation class the feminine principle in practice for chanting OMs . . . the teaching and practice of A-U-M with breathflow and body awareness. The vibration that filled the beautiful studio space was amazing as we chanted 3 rounds of OM following our zazen meditation, to integrate practice into our bodymind nature. We all “got” the vibration of creation in our beings.
My own teacher, Sam Singh in Yorkshire England, had asked us all in his group one day to talk about what experience lifted our vibrations and made us feel “bigger than we are”. I had been to an art exhibition in London a couple of years earlier, of Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele [who shared a concept of “total art”] and their contemporaries . . . to stand in front of and at close range to Klimt’s “Portrait of Adele”, painted in gold leaf, was for me to reverberate and resonate with the vibration of creation of the Universe – It blasted into my cells. I still have the same resonance at the cellular level of my being, visualising that painting in my memory, when I say my prayers for you every morning. For me, this is the vibration of magic.
And my teaching for you is simple. When you’re about to make a decision, overthinking won’t help you realise what choice is right for the next step on your path in this journey. The vibration of magic is the clue and your guide . . . whether you feel, sense, “get” this in your gut, in your toes, your heart or brain—wherever it manifests in your being—this is your guide and your direction-finder.
If I’m allowed – my spirit guides show me when I’m not – I’ll make a small, free, playlist of practices to help you with teachings and put it here on the blogsite. If I don’t, then it’s not time yet for me, and it’s not time yet for you.
Namaste, suzen
