Years ago, after making some homemade soup, I placed the root 
bottoms of the three organic leeks into some filtered water, changed it 
daily, and watched them begin to slowly regrow. Two days later, they finally had enough growth from the centers, away from the residual 
outer layers, those outer layers had begun withering away. (This was my 
first time doing this process, regrowing leeks from cut roots.) I tracked the responses of each plant when I peeled various levels of the 
wilted parts away from the new growth centers. For one leek, I didn’t 
remove any of the wilted outer parts. The second, I removed a few of the 
outer wilted “sheaths,” while for the third leek, I removed them all, 
except the very last layer up against the new growth centers. Two days 
later, The bottom of the leeks had growth spurts of one inch, each! What 
was surprising, was the differences in the level of growth from the top! Up 
to two inches in variances! How exciting! (Yes, I know I’m a bit of a 
gardening/science nerd; and sometimes the littlest discoveries excite me the most! Lol. I digress.) I immediately peeled the remaining wilted parts of the rest of the leeks… as… “My work here was done!” 

In experiencing so many changes, revelations, opportunities for new growth throughout Covid chaos or life in general… how many of us have chosen to remain in the wilted, perceived protectedness, and comfort of those cocoons of old habits or cycles? Lots of people kept saying, early on during the lockdowns, “I want things to return to normal.” I think we’ve progressed past the point of knowing; and are acknowledging what was our “normal” is not going to return. But, that doesn’t have to be a bad or negative thing. 

Perhaps, like the leeks in my experiment, we could begin to see, 
acknowledge, and slowly peel back the layers of our own wilted pieces… 
pieces of our thought processes, our experiences, and our feelings. 
Perhaps, we could open to tossing aside those pieces no longer serving our lives; because they’re effectively restricting us from the lives we want to 
create and live into BEing. If we want to bring a healthy habit into our 
lives, we must clear the space for it to enter and remain or “become rooted 
within us.” If the thought of tossing out all of the wilted pieces at once 
is too overwhelming, the aforementioned leek experiment showed us peeling back a few layers of the wilted pieces at a time can help us at the root level… until we feel our base is strong enough to tear out of the wilted remainder to soar towards the light, warmth, and radiance of the 
sun, moon, and reach for the stars in our own time. But, don’t expect the 
(leeks) people, places, and things around you to remain in that same growth pattern to end up in the same pot of soup, salad, or even the same kitchen… as you do.

Sometimes the old and weak ways or things no longer serving us must be cleared away or allowed to fall to the wayside in order to permit new things to begin growing within us, not merely around us as in nature. 

No matter what happens in our lives, we all have the spirit of Being “Unbreakable” at our core... listen to Fireflight and make it your fight song, if you need a reminder. 
 

When we are born, we have all the freedoms and possibilities of God’s amazing imagination and planning for our lives. 

How many times do we need to get to a point of feeling like we’ve been dragged down, weighed down, pushed, pulled, twisted, or entwined with the “weight of the world” or others within our inner circles, before we realize we’ve done it for so long we no longer remember where we knew our lives were meant to go; and we’ve lost the essential BEauty God planted within us? 

Let’s have the courage to cut the vines and branches weighing down, burdening, and preventing our inner Light to shine from the depths of our souls, as God intended. 

Let's all begin singing ”The Breakup Song,” by:  Francesca Battistelli! 

On our morning constitutionals, we love to just be present with nature and listen to her telling her life stories, listening to her songs… learning of the wisdom of her life stories. We see how some trees struggle to remain upright, leaning on one another, sometimes to the detriment of the durability or endurance of that supportive tree to maintain its full strength… or full-uprightness. Conversely, we see when the tree releases its clinging to its old way of life… it often creates a flourishing biome for a plethora of new life, of varying species or phylum.  

Imagine the BEauty and bounty we might create within our own lives, if we release our own need to hang onto the old, the dead, the dying portions of our lives. We cannot create or welcome the new Blessings created for us with each new season of our lives, if we cannot, or refuse to let go of things no longer meant to accompany or support us in welcoming the changing seasons of our lives. Within ourselves, we can release the old in order to more fully welcome the next generation of BEautiful sprouts, blossoms, and bloom into the greatest portions of our amazing life journeys.  

If you, too, want or need encouragement or support in releasing your old, in preparation of greeting and more fully entering your own “spring awakening,” we invite you to visit the music section of our website to purchase our River of Release meditation which contains lovely supportive sound healing implements graciously narrated and provided by a sound healing expert and energy worker, Linda Alario, in our effort to help release the stuck energy in our lives, and work towards collectively raising the vibrational energy within the greater world. Thank you for Blessing our lives, with your time and consideration of our messages, whether through reading our blogs, or purchasing and appreciating our music.

Sometimes, we can hold onto so much that it can feel like we are twisting apart inside or like “just one more thing” may “break us.” But, we are humans. We can surrender the mindset we’ve been brainwashed into thinking... we are breakable or “broken.” True, our bones can become brittle or broken; our communication lines can become broken… between ourselves and with others; and fear can break our healthful mindset and lower our vibrations. But, these are not things that cannot be overcome or at least greatly improved, with effort and a more “healthy diet” of realizing and embracing… everything we surround ourselves with daily… is, in fact, our diet. Therefore, the best way for us to not feel we are already or on the edge of BEing twisted all out of proportion or “broken” is to surrender and acknowledge things we’ve held onto that may in essence be holding us back from the full realization from living the life we envisioned, in our youth. What is something you have been holding onto that prevents you from BEing all you are called to BE… something you are willing to surrender?  

You will find a song by the same name, Surrender, on our music page. We hope you use it and the recommended essential oil pairings to help you embrace moving through anything you’ve been holding onto, twisting yourself all up in knots sometimes… rather than surrendering to what you have been called, all of your life, reaffirmed by your life experiences. If you don’t have the essential oil blends, you may simply close your eyes and meditate on what you want to surrender, before listening to the song. You may find it very helpful to begin a journal to log your spiritual and self-enlightenment journey, with us. I always end any journal entry, by sharing something I am truly grateful for receiving… whether it be a message, a song, a visit from animals, or even being able to breathe or think some days. We all have difficult days; but, centering our hearts, surroundings; and surrendering that which we cannot control or alter, can have such a profound effect on our daily lives.
