LIFE IN ARIZONA -Energy Fills my Space

When I am being creative or in solitude; I simply flow. I feel it when I’m writing or when I’m sitting among my cacti, birds chirping in space. It is simply me, my words, and the music within. Not much in a material sense is needed to create simplicity. My writing and the inner sounds manifest themselves from within my body, my senses, my surroundings, and the air about me. Air is simple. It is always here and it is predictable.

I feel a connection to earth and the spirits when I write and when I sit alone in the quietness of my garden, vibrational energy moves through me. I love to think that my energy reaches others, others of my choosing or others I don’t know, others who may be sick.  It’s just the air and me, the slight breeze caressing the wind chimes that hang from the SW corner of the house; the putt-putt of a faraway golf-ball.

There is a certain ritual every time I sit to write. Most times I use my little tablet because it can go anywhere so long as it’s charged. I may be outdoors, or at a side-walk café, in bed or at the doctor’s office. Rituals help me feel the simplicity of my ordered Feng Shui settings. Something inside me is able to take over and I’m able to just BE. Neither worry nor stress. 
I prepare by taking deep breaths, feeling warm air circulating within me. I imagine any stale energy around me becoming fluid and cheery again. It is all about what flows around me, my breathing and my feelings of oneness.

Creativity allows flow, and flow is where I begin to understand that oneness. Learning what that feels like enters other areas of my life: my thoughts, my relationships, and my internal existence.  I can stop and smell the roses. I have arrived at that point I was not many years back. I can now reconnect with my concept of simplicity -- mind, body, and extra-sensory perception -- I can rejoice in this formidable change. I do embrace the flow, the movement, my own understanding of what simplicity means. At times when I revert to old ways, I shift my breathing to regain the spiritual balance I have achieved.ESWApril82013
