Snorkeling vs Scuba Diving

Adela Rubio — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 04:57:31 +0000

“Put on a suit. Go deeper,” said Adela.

See what’s available in scuba diving.

It seems to me that going deeper with scuba diving might feel safer than snorkeling. With scuba diving, I image a life line being there. With snorkeling, I’m on my own.

For me the challenge would be/is to move beyond the safety of the boat, even the side of the pool – the knowing that I can get to the side within seconds and be secure, grab on.

What is the fear of going past my self-imposed limits?

Fear of drowning? This seems odd since I sometimes say/think that my life has been fulfilled, is complete.

Fear of struggling, not being able to breathe? The head knows it’s simply one breath at a time. Relax into it. Maybe, it’s the body that knows this. The head kicks in with the noises, planting its negative seeds.

If so, I can simply be with my body. Trust it and snorkel beyond the boat to those spaces with other sea life even more beautiful than what’s closest to the boat.

I will create a challenge for myself and respond to it. I’ll practice in the pool (all the while hoping it stays cold here in Florida for another month or two) – snorkel/swimming down the center, not quite an easy distance to the side. I might also swim/snorkel across the deep end.

Simply thinking of this, tightens up my body. Fears kick in. Perhaps recalling the memory, 60 plus years ago, of learning to ride a bike can ease the concern. Certainly there must have been fear of falling, one which I ultimately conquered. For years after I had the freedom of the ride.

Deep breath. Exhale. Image the feeling of freely playing, dancing with the fish – the colors and the rhythms. Then take that back on land.

What would the feeling be, playing among the limitless sea of humans in natural environments – growing strong and free – full of spontaneous, authentic self-expression – an empowering dance of life? Ah, yes!

PS – Where’s the life line? Do I need it? The life line is within – the trust. Trust that I can and trust there will be one person and/or a community to support and save me if I’m in trouble. Thank you.

Transformation Apps

Adela Rubio — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 04:35:34 +0000

Are you sad and blue?
There’s an app for that
Called laughter

Are you lonely or lonesome?
There’s an app for that
Called singing your song

Are you shy and afraid?
There’s an app for that
Called dancing your dance.

There’s an app that makes the
other apps work faster and easier

It’s a knowing that you feel
in every cell in your body
a knowing that you
are a part of Divine Love…
part of the Light …
Light that some call Sophia, the Cosmic Mother…
some call Allah, Buddha, Jehovah, Yahweh,
Highest Self, Supreme Being.

Once you download this app
you begin to laugh…dance….sing….love…
with many worlds of beings
as you co-create the Playground of Life.

Tag, you’re It!

Alone – Lonely – Is there a difference?

Adela Rubio — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 01:14:14 +0000

Being alone in a crowd.
People dance,
They jump for joy.

Where am I?
Off in the distance,
on the sidelines

What holds me back, has me not want to participate?

All the “rules” I impose on myself.

What rules are there about dancing? What holds me back?

Making a “fool” of myself? What is a fool?

and then there was “the night”…

Alone on New Year’s Eve, as 2010 rolled in. I was actually quite content, comfortable in my skin and my place in life right now. The past two New Year’s eves without Sam were hard. I was with one son, daughter-in-law, two grandchildren and their assorted guests both years and felt lonelier than being alone on 12/31/09. The prior two years I recall so strongly feeling “Everyone has someone” and “I am alone”

If I were in the massive crowd at Disney, I suspect my feelings would have been the same.

I had an interesting walk from the party back to my room. I was taking photos and a family came along. The wife stayed to talk. Her name is Heila, mine- Sheila without the “S”. Someone on Adela Rubio’s Conscious Energy Shift call the next morning spoke of walking in nature looking for omens. Was “Heila’ an omen for me ?…

What are the “s”s I could be dropping in my life?
S – sh*t – the clutter I surround myself with… not quite… and the “baggage” I carry
S – sorry feelings
S – “shoulds” – definitely!

Consider replacing them with “Shalls”.

What to keep?– my Soul, my Sense of worth, my “Self” The Self who Shines.

Maybe the omen wasn’t so much about dropping the “S”…. rather acknowledging and honoring it. Who would I be without myself?

So back to loneliness – aloneness – Find the beauty in it. Acknowledge it. Let it be and note that there are multi-dimensions.

Remember when the “should’s” are removed… the concern with other’s judgments…. really our own chatter and assumptions… all that remains is the beauty of myself/ourselves.

I am the one with whom I live…. how great it and my life are when I honor me and am totally and completely satisfied with that.

New Heart Start

Adela Rubio — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 00:29:27 +0000

My wave is strong fast and free
Carrying the essence of me on beyond
Decade dancing delightfully
Sparkling freedom is here to stay.
And powerful ripples presence in purity
My path dappled and dotted
With magnificent treasures rolled
Rapturously encased in the
Chrysalis of time, no time but sublime
Passages beyond the curtained filigree of
Life bearing bold steps into the mist and magic
Unrolling through trees of green and skies
Of blue, mountain tops snow capped deep
I am no longer asleep and leap
Over carrying my tribe, not now afraid
Clarity clarions my trumpet.
Hiding no more as I score again and again
No pain now as the vision draws near.
Do you hear the distant knell of my
Vibrating bell which chimes in time
And my heart sings softly sending
Pulses perfectly before me for all
To sense and see and as I am more
They implore my guidance and
Together we music sweet tones of love
Celebrating life and living.
Magnificence is our tune.

~ ~ ~

New Year dawns sunshining
Serenely across the garden
Gloriously cascading new
Essences in songs
Showering from above
Love abounds all around
This new day dances.
Darkness dimmed distantly
Firework showers glowed
The change full stream ahead
Powerfully light burst through the glow
Of life bestowing here so clear
I hear it now joyful rhythms
Of time sublime in time.
Messaging in soft whisperings
Ablaze with life’s fresh offerings
Openness to clarity of vision.

Transformation

Adela Rubio — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 00:14:01 +0000

polar bear on an ice floe
no tracks, no direction home
standing on the edge
certainty melting away
you can stand and wait
for reality to melt
or dive in
to the ocean of being
and swim
until you die
die to who you thought you were
die to limitation and separation
die to doubt and fear
swim into the One Being
melt into the One Love
surrender to the ocean
NOW
∞
I am the new born, without a shall

so soft and sensitive I can hardly bear to breathe.
I do not want to place a footprint on the virgin snow

nor flow into form to become fixed, held in, held down

I am the as yet to be, the coming solution
I am the next word you’ll hear, the next breath you’ll take
I am pointing to the future.
Yet I am soft, formless, so subtle, I am easily missed
you may mistake me for sadness, for loss, even for death
I seem like an absence
everything all emptied out, gone.
I am a clear space for the breath of life
before words and thoughts
oft as a rose petal
formless as breath
Pure Love

Sing On

Adela Rubio — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 16:45:17 +0000

Sing
Sing on
Sing the song that wants to be sung

The song that wants to be sung by YOU
THROUGH you
The song that YOU are here to sing

It may have been dormant for some time now . . . perhaps only a note or two making its way to your lips

Let go!
Allow its energy
the energy of the song
with the many varied notes
to find its way to your lips
Sing out!!

Sing out your song
Allow the notes to
dance through the Universe
touching those it is meant to touch
awakening their song
awakening their soul

And know
possibilities are endless. . .

Your song and soul touch
others’ souls and songs
and their souls and songs
touch others
and so on
and so on

We form a symphony!

A symphony of Love
A symphony of Hope
A symphony of Dreams

Becoming Real
A symphony of Light sooo . . . immense

Each of us
one by one
is transformed

So Sing! Sing Out!
Sing On.
Sing On.

Tonya’s New Year’s Blessing

A New Year Blessing

Peace

Adela Rubio — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 11:24:07 +0000

In the quiet of the moment
Lives the power of the hour
In the hour with the power
Steeps the peace
The true power
The power to let go
Of that, that isn’t really so
And embrace and claim
What’s real
The ability to feel

With the feeling
Comes the knowing
And some letting go
The heart begin to grow
With a heart that grows
Love’s embers sow
The seeds of peace that
Let minds begin to know

In the heart growing peace
Fear recedes
Love exceeds
And with a measure of laughter
One by one
We are released

In the release of the fear
Open hearted
Lighter spirit
One by one
We change inside
And then outside
And with the change in us
We are one
Peace for all
Has begun

One is enough
To make a difference
Let the difference begin
Inside now
It doesn’t require the mind
To agree
Just let the heart beat free
