Essence & Experience Empowerment

 OUR ESSENCE is Spirit  and OUR Experience is human . Therefore , while our essence  is always love , our experiences can be ragged , flawed , or downright icky . The trick is to infuse experience  with essence  and weave them together  , for it's through  our very humanness in conjunction  with SPIRIT that our soul grows . We need not subjugate nor regate our humanness in order to become a vessel of love  , but rather  become the best human we can be . Through love and acceptance  , we can transform our human limitations into a clear window through which our essence can shine .Healing , honing and honoring our humanity  encourages us to become the best  possible vehicle for the light of SPIRIT .

Play with the concept  of weaving for a minute. Close your eyes  and relax and , in whatever way feels right  to you , give yourself permission  to create  a fanciful tapestry of your life . Imagine a color or colors  for both your essence  and your experience. You can choose one particular experience or focus on experiences in general . Anything is perfectly all right .

Ask both the wisdom and the whimsy of your  heart to help weave the colors of essence  and experience together  as a symbolic picture . What do you  love about weaving ? What do you dislike , or what makes you uncomfortable ?

Study your tapestry  as you would a dream . There are undoubtedly valuable hints in this meditation about how you feel  you're doing  with the task of weaving  essence and experience together . As we become more adept  at bringing our essence into everyday experiences , they will be magically transformed into everyday blessings .

I accept and honor both my essence and experiences .
Bathed in love , all experiences  can become a blessing .
