A time to Harvest
recently moved and was a little beside myself because usually, I have something I harvest this time of year and I had not planted anything as of yet. Not just because of the move but because I have been very sick lately. A few months back I finally was able to be a doctor and wound up with a whole fleet of them because they found all kinds of stuff wrong with me.
One of the things was cervical cancer and they wanted to aggressively attack it and this made me very sick. I am now listed as being in remission but am still fighting to get my health balanced out. I got to thinking about it and this is what I have harvested this year. Removing the cancer and getting rid of the tumors is my harvest. Anytime we can get rid of something which we do not want or need is a type of harvesting. This makes us better and able to get on with our lives.
Thanking our Deities for the opportunity to be rid of something we don’t need. In the partaking of the herbs, fruits and veggies which others have harvested for us. We are all in this together, one way or another. I am starting to feel better and once again want to get into my creative side. Whether I am writing, drawing, painting or doing one of my other hobbies, I feel better. Not being able to do these things made me sink into a depression and I don’t like being there.
I like the ideas which are coming to me yet again. I thank my Spirit Guides and Deities for opening up the opportunities to be rid of that which I do not need in my life and showing me that yet another door is opening up. I can feel another pathway coming to me in the near future and I will be well enough to walk down that path.
No matter what is put in your pathway, it is there for a reason. It may not be pleasant at that moment in time but in one way or another it will be beneficial. We can’t always plant a garden but this is not the only type of garden which can be planted.
Working toward a goal can be hard work. Take the time to sit back and see what works for you. You have planted the seeds and this is the time of year, to harvest what you planted. Whether it is your job, family, friends, faith, spirituality or your health; take a look at what you have accomplished. Pat yourself on the back and thank the Spirits for their help.
This is a time of harvest. Enjoy!
Namaste’ to all Nightress
My meditations
There are times when I meditate, I can go back to a past life and I see us working together in the fields.Seeing each other throughout the day, doing chores and making food for the evening meals. I miss this feeling. The work was hard but the feeling of being together was more than worth it.
In my childhood, some of the things I miss are the Sunday dinners after church, the music in church, everyone getting together in the evenings to watch the prime time shows together. Everyone huddled together; adults on the couch and in chairs with the kids sitting on the floor or the little ones sitting on someone’s lap. Just spending time together was what it was all about.
Now, everyone is in their own rooms, watching TV and staying out of everyone’s way. Trying to get along but never really spending anytime with each other. Today people spend more time with their computers and cell phones than they do with the people in their lives. They sit in the same room sending text messages; and sometimes to each other. One room away, and send a message, instead of walking down the hall and talking in person. It is so much easier to send a few words than it is to have a conversation.
People are more concerned with themselves than they are for the ones they love. Everywhere we look, we have to be careful of others of who might want to hurt us. They are no longer just peeping in windows, but they are intruding everywhere in our lives, without us knowing it. We have to put up firewalls in every aspect of our lives. Are we really paranoid or is there really someone looking into your life.
Some things have changed so much. How fast we have come, to be so far from the ones we love, even when they are right next to us. We have come from reading books and playing out in the yard to the electronic age. Instead of playing hard we now have to make time to exercise.
Instead of sitting down and reading a book, we listen to it on audio while getting to the next place we have to get to. I say this, while I am sitting here on the computer trying to figure out what I want to do next. Should I listen to an audiobook while playing a computer game or watch a TV show while researching on my computer…lol.
What I should do is, take the time to mediate. Stop, sit down and listen to the sounds in the house. Listen to the kids playing their chasing games, my daughter watching her show while cooking dinner and doing laundry. Listen to the sounds of the house and what everyone is doing. Let those sounds drift together and see where it takes me. Will it take me to another time and place or just let me feel the love which resides within these walls.
When was the last time you meditated? Did you know that daydreaming is also a form of meditation? There are more forms than just doing deep breathing exercises.
