Such are the time constraints in your day that seldom do you allow your mind to follow its own path. For you have thoughts of your own of which you are mindful, that you must process to achieve the day’s outcomes. However, your mind is your creative self so it should be allowed to flow. As with a child, creativity is stifled if the child is set with constant routine.

You have observed the change of demeanour in a child if it is allowed to float down from busyness to settle cloud-like into a euphoria of creativity, immersed in itself, flowing, peaceful. So when your mind is full to bursting and aches are ensuing, allow yourself to float down from the busyness, child-like, unaware of outside pressures. Allow yourself to settle cloud-like for a moment of mindfulness floating thoughts. From this time you will sigh, breathe deeply, becoming in tune with your body. From this occurrence you will lift seconds, moments later, recreated.

All parts of you will freshened, as with a child, the tensions and rebellions will be released, facial features relaxing, lungs breathing.

Those around you will respond. When a child exudes peace, it will more readily be gathered up, showered with love, happiness, giving and receiving positive responses all round. Be mindful. Athena

So as the season ends and another encroaches your realm, so too will your body’s attachment to the previous season close.  You will feel your body prepare to embrace the encroaching season.  You will commmence a change of adornment, a change of sustenance, a change of activities.

Embrace this change of season and so too will your body support you in this embrace.  For your body, like the seasons of your earth, requires a change.  Simple as that.  For if you adorned yourself, sustained yourself, activated yourself similarly throughout all time, how weary, discontented and unmotivated you would become.  Think for a moment in time, if all seasons were the same.

So now long for the change, for as with all change, it is a time of growth for you.  Now look forward to replanning your adornment, your sustenance, your activities, knowing that those applications will again become relevant when the season itself reoccurs.  In this embracing you are choosing to grow instead of battling to cling on to the old.  For clinging on to old behaviours is simply fear that you cannot cope with the new.  Look how easily you are shown ways to grow and release battles by just a change of  season – something that has occured around you throughout your lifetime and something you can now show your body you are willing to embrace as a fantastic growth opportunity for you.

Now shine with hope for the new season as you shine with a change of adornment – attitude, colours; shine with fresh sustenance – flavours, textures; shine with reinvigorating activities – stretches, companionship.  And so too, note that this change will occur again in  months.   A new you!  With love, Athena.

As the sun goes down so too should you rest and reset yourself for the night ahead.  For at the end of your day you tirelessly push through activities you have set.  These activities once accomplished leave you with a sense of acomplishment but a deeper sense of weariness.  The weariness causes you frustration at supposed lack of energy and hence your night’s rest and reset is fraught with your assumed lack of ability.

So as the sun sets know that this is your time to surrender to efforts and chose to flow with what feels easy and comforting.  Indeed many of those accomplisments may still be achieved.  For to attain a night’s rest and reset is all that is required for a fruitful new day.  However, it is custom to quickly comment, I’ll do that this evening.  But an evening is one in which to relax and prepare your body for the journey  it needs through the night, restoring your body.  Your body is ill prepared for it’s journey of rest if you have advanced upon it fraught with accomplishments and collapsed with exhaustion.  The evening is a time for evening out your day, balancing busyness with peace, pressure with laughter.

So as the energy of your realm relaxes with the setting sun, so too do you relax and chose this time with wisdom, indeed delighting in those acomplishments that do become achieved easily free of effort, but mostly delighting in a surrendering to this time of day.  How deep and restorative your sleep with will be as you reset with the setting sun.  How beautiful, how buoyant you will feel as the sun rises for the new day.    Athena

So now your journey is hastening towards the goal you have set.  All is proceeding at speed around you yet you are now feeling misgivings from the great tormentor – doubt.  For if you cast misgiving and doubt to your self’s ability, and believe it, then so shall others energetically cast  misgivings or doubt as to your ability.

So should a hint of misgiving or doubt enter your consciousness, feel it, acknowledge it, turn it around and look inside it.  What will you see?  Maybe historical behaviours placed around you by a peer, dominant figure, partner that you were unable to attain anything, any new goal.  So know that these are just memories coming to the surface, triggers to allow you to finally release those misgivings and doubts about yourself.

Exhultant!  You can now be free of those historical issues by simply acknowledging them, and releasing them.  For if you hang onto the doubt, your goal would crumble, the doubter in you would triumph.  But you have broken through self believes of doubt to get to here, so this is just another.  For when you believe fully in yourself, so too will others, whose belief will further hasten your journey to it’s goal.  So, allow the doubt and misgiving to arise, acknowledge it, investigate and release.

Triumph!  I stand beside you, Athena.

Beloved woman friend, for a friend indeed is beloved.

To be-loved is to share a reciprocation of love between friendship.  It is for you to recognise that you give pure love and receive pure love.  That is, it is for you recognise that you give and receive love for joy – free of position, power, gain, usage.  You weary now as you mature of false starts where once an immediate attraction  felt between a woman quickly soured to a feeling of usage.  Now, standing in the fullness of mature light, you attract to you another woman standing in a glowing light – another woman who dearly wants the simplicity of friendship free of ulterior gains, power, usage.

However, it has indeed been a growing experience to have endured false start friendships for through the inevitable disappointments and hurt you have learnt to note your reactions.  You have learnt to deflect inevitable accusations and usage back to the other and to desist taking those pains on board, sabotaging your energy.  For this I applaud you – you have journeyed through the maze of wanting a beloved friendship.  Many have crossed your path and now in your life, a precious handful travel alongside you.  Precious indeed as you swap places in the lane where at times you run and they jog supporting beside you and alternately – giving and receiving beloved support.

You will delight in the awareness that your beloved woman friendships are of varying ages, abilities, styles, graces – this indeed expands the tapestry of knowldge you receive daily on your path.  So different indeed to youthful friendships who tended to be of similar ilk and age, hence exposing you to limited fields of growth.  Now you keenly await opportunities to be the jogger beside or the runner in front with your beloveds.       With love,  Athena

So now you are living the manifestations of your dreams and desires.  And yet you drown in  the enormity of that which you  have achieved.  That which you dreamed and desired is now swallowing you.  You are in a sea of lost energy and time.  Yet previously you believed if all the dreams and desires could only be, that then you would have limitless energy and time for life.

So rest assured, that energy and time is indeed at your fingertips.  It is just sittting there awaiting your arisal from the quagmire of efforting you are still throwing at the dreams and desires.  Efforting because your human fears believes it may all slip away from you should you release full control.  So know now that if these dreams and desires have arisen from pure intentions then, with pureness, you can trust that it willl remain in your realm for as long as you desire it to.  That is, if you gain full pleasure of giving and receiving from the manifestations, that in itself is pureness.  However, if  you receive ego-feeding position and superiority from the manifestations then indeed you will require full control to keep it afloat, hence the feeling of drowning.

So rebalance your outcomes from the manifestation to one of just pure giving and receiving without ego feeding any feelings of power – work on this balance, and you will feel a ‘shoring’ up of balance.  You will be able to relinquish full control with trust, giving you energy and time to revel in your successes.  Arise from the quagmire, and now drown instead in the  love for others received and given – truly a pure life manifestation everlasting.  Athena

Please affirm your gifts of life  to yourself.  For those around you know of your life’s gifts and consequently draw on those skills in you.  Unwittingly you impart your knowledge, wisdom, ability, when it is called upon.  You do this automatically.  But on occasions, you impart your knowledge, wisdom, ability when it it is unsuitable to your time and energy.  In this instance the knowledge, wisdom, ability is pushed from you.  The receiver is confused because it is not delivered with your usual grace.  Equally you are left confused as to why you feel you were interrupted, de-energised.

So it is in your power to say to the receiver, I will reconnect with you.  In this respite, be it of 5 minutes or 5 hours,  you have affirmed to yourself that, yes you do have a gift to assist,  AND that you will assist at a time that will allow you to do so with grace.   This is empowering to you and affirms your gifts of life to yourself, Yes I can and will assist.  This affirmation further entrenches the gift of life – that being, acknowledging  your life’s gifts.  Your life’s gifts, used as a precious tool and chosen to be used with grace, embroils you in imparting healing for those around you.  This in turn further entrenches you as a healer in your life.    So sit, seek truth in yourself and affirm that which comes naturally to you :   loving, sharing, guidance, sustenance, humour, empathy, listening, creating, innovation, spontaneity…     Athena

So times of change are now here.  For some time the change has been ahead of you.  Now it is in front of you.   Fear not, for this is the change for which you have planned and for which you have envisaged a desirable outcome.  The fear you now feel is just your disbelief that you have actually manifested a dream.  So as you remove the momentary fear, now feel delight rushing through you at the freedom to step into the change, for the fear you have felt is only the fear of change.  It is easier in humanness to cling onto the old for you are familiar with that situation.   Step into the change knowing it is positive energy because you manifested it.   Watch the trickle of excitement course through you, changing your body from tiredness of the old situation to positively vibrating with the new future change right in front.  Good health will spread amongst you also, removing tired old niggles and pains that are slowly manifesting because of the tired old situation.  This is all positive for you.

Henceforth, you will embrace changes, and henceforth you will attract changes , making your life fresh, energising, exciting.  Others will collect this vibrancy around you and you will directly and indirectly affect their resistance to change.  Your star will be followed and healing from your courage will flow to others.  Know you are changing and know you are changing the planet’s energy -  greatly, vastly, needed.

This is your evolvement I honour.    Athena.

To be dear to others you must be dear to yourself.  To give to others you must give to yourself.  To need others you must need yourself.  To want any love, acoutrement, activity, outcome you must want it for yourself.  So if you only bemoan,  “If only I could have…If only I could be…” then that is not wanting it for yourself but indeed moaning that you do not have it.  Can you hear this difference?  For your humanness is full of the “if onlys”, but emerging through your human world is a thread of those who dare to dream, who minutely manifest what they want.  You will recall this, you will hear this : “dreams do come true”.

As a nightmare can stay with you, then make a dream stay with you.  Odd, is this not, that a nightmare stays but a dream fades?  So dream with conscious thought deeply and this will carry to your subconscious self – dream like – and it will manifest.  You have heard, “It was such a nightmare”, now listen for “I dreamed of it”.  Seek out those who have changed pathways because of a dream – study their focus, their delight at living a dream.  This is for you.  Want the love, acoutrement, activity, outcome – DREAM it, and by process, you will LIVE it.

Dreamers alike, Athena.

So who is challenging you?  And you are angry and frustrated.  You vent to others in fury at this intervention in your smoothly paved forecasted way.  All has been well but now there’s an upturn in the path by another’s challenge.  So do you continue to vent to another at the worthlessness of the challenger?    Or indeed do you, with wisdom, look deeper into the challenge and cast aside the perfection of the smooth path?  Know that your wisdom is there to encourage you to explore depths you find unworthy, distasteful or tardy to your intentions.  For this challenge will require you to step aside and do maintenance on the issue that has arisen within yourself from the challenge.  The maintenance will be completed and you will step back onto the path which will now flow steadily ahead.  For if you had not addressed why the upturn had occurred, your seemingly smooth path would have cracked visibly in time to come.

So a challenge to you is indeed a challenge for you to discover why you resist and vent.  Just call it a  nudge to bring yourself to reality and away from striving for perfection.  For perfection is controlling and de-energising.  Flowing freedom occurs when you calmly move with the bends in the path.  Step forth, Athena
