Tree of Life Blessing


(flowers in my garden)

My last blog was a rant that I had to get out, otherwise it might have created a tumor inside me.
I promised for a positive post.  So here it is.  It is very easy to get disillusioned by the world.  With everything that is going on and all those things that make you want to scream inside.  I am trying lately to function from my core.  Grab on to those things which send me into a state of intense peace.  I am having a hard time with the fact that my Mother is no longer physically on this earth.  I realize that I need to create a space around me that is void of negative so that I can connect with her now and also to be able to follow the path I am suppose to be on.  This blessing grounds me to that and I hope it will for any of you who read it.
I have found through many losses in my life that the only thing that matters is the connection you have with other beings.  Because it is how we are touched by eachother that shimmers on forever and nothing else.


Tree of Life Blessing

May you choose outrageous actions that challenge who you are and encourage who you are becoming.
May you take one step, however small, toward that which you have always longed for. Now is the “right time.”
May you recognize the unique and powerful contribution that you bring to the people whose lives you touch.
May you be as wonderful as you really are, and do things because you want to, not just because you should.
May you celebrate your creativity and believe that you are an artist with a unique vision that no one else has.
May you find peace and purpose and possibility amidst the chaos while remaining aware of the unrest in the world.
May you reach towards the Spirit with a longing that keeps you awake to the miracles available all around you.
May your faith move any mountains that stand in your way and bring you great teachers to awaken your understanding.
May you give up shame, guilt and self-neglect and replace them with freedom, integrity and self-nurturing.
May you offer the gifts and blessings of your soul to beings of the world when the time is ripe for you to release them.
May you passionately and deeply love and be loved by someone who can see who you really are.
May your body speak to you and teach you how to care for the temple that houses your bright spirit.
May you walk gently on the earth and honor your hearth and family with your action and your rest.
May you find and enjoy the fruit of abundance so that your life path can be fortified and furthered.
May you embrace the Tree of Life and be informed by the wisdom she brings to those on her path.
May LOVE be at the center of all your choices and may you, with me, send this blessing to all beings.
Amen.
Shiloh Sophia
