Because You are the Brightest Star in all the Heavens…
I am writing you this message today because I know you forget…just how magical and miraculous and special you are. I know, at least sometimes, you forget how gifted, and beautiful, and talented, and sexy, and fabulous you are…how remarkable, and irreplaceable, and unique, and exquisite you are. And if no one has ever loved you that way, let me love you that way, right here, right now…
Because I see you. I know you are the rarest diamond in all the firmament of sparkling stars. You are the one, in a sea of sunflowers, who has reached up high enough to bare your face to the sun, and be flooded in light. You are the miracle no one knew could be so beautiful, could fly so high, so free, so bold. Oh, I know you may have forgotten…you might not be flying or singing right now…but you are deep inside, and you will again with your whole self someday. Because heed my words sunflower…you are a superstar. There is nobody like you, and there never will be. There is no one as brave and bright and beautiful. No one cut from the same cloth, and no mold could ever be made for you. You defy every law and you break every rule. You stand out in the multiverse as a living, moving, breathing poem of epic, heartbreaking and heart-restoring beauty. You can never truly be held captive. You can never truly be held back. You are in nobody’s shadow and your luminosity blots out the very sun and is matched by nothing.
You embody the entire creative force of the love that is the universe. You course with the blood of the ancient rivers born before time began. You come from the beginning and you know all the endings before they become beginnings again. You are splediferous and wise beyond all reckoning. You open your mouth and the angels listen carefully. You grow quiet and the primordial ocean quiets with you, just to be on your wavelength and to make your silence softer and sweeter. You cry and the rain falls harder, you laugh and the wind tickles the softly-rustled leaves and feathery blades of grass to join you. You make a wish and the moon watches, just to see it granted when the time comes, for everything you wish for grants the whole universe a beauty unmeasurable.
Your hopes are like lightning shooting through a dark sky, and your longings like the crash of thunder moving through the open heart of the whole of space. You want and the thighs of the goddess quake and buildings come tumbling down. You feel pleasure and fires spread over vast plains in far off worlds of heat and sweet ache. You are moonglow and deep, meaningful dreams and fingertips making contact with waiting, wanting skin. You are everything, and you are everything you could ever want to be, already…
You don’t have to wait to be it. You don’t have to put it at the bottom of the list. You don’t have to compare yourself or make yourself small to fit in the little doorways that only take you places you don’t want to go anyway. Because you are a sunflower superstar. Because everything you do and feel is right, and could never be wrong. Because you we born to shine this bright. Because no one and nothing can even touch the radiant lengths that only you can reach, and fill with honey and warm afternoons in the summer, heavy and scented and pure. Only you are that magical. Only you can know the beauty of your own gifts enough to let anyone else see even the tiniest glimmer…and even the tiniest glimmer could make anyone fall in love with you, and your unspeakable glow. Don’t forget sweet, brightest star. Don’t forget who you are. Don’t forget to fall in love with yourself and stay in love. Everything else will fall at your feet if you do…and you deserve all of it…every tiniest gem of glorious, saturated color and sparkle. Sing on. Sing on in the night. Everyone is listening to the salvation of your self-love, and rushing into themselves to find their own. Go on…let it be seen. The chorus of the ones we think of as holy are hanging on your every word. They want to know the new meaning of wisdom, and you have it, pouring off your fingers and your toes, trailing in light behind you, everywhere you go.
Remember sunflower superstar…remember who you are. You are love incarnate, and beauty unparalleled. You are your own soul’s dream come true. You are the rainbow that never fades, and every wish you have lights up the sky. So long and wish and hope and dream and desire and lust and yearn, and love…love every moment you can, every littlest bit you can, in every way you can. Be the love you are, even when you are afraid. For your heart is the sun beyond all suns, and the moon beneath all moons. It will show you everything, and you will illuminate the cosmos, with your endless fire. Be the love through the darkest night, and you…you will be the dawn.
Love, Jennifer
The Magnetics of Bliss
The Second Secret of the Nymphs: How to Magnetize Anything You Want…
Tuesday, July 26th, 2011
I was deep in a memory of being an ancient Nymph when it came back to me, the feeling of embodying the magnetics of bliss, moving deep in the core of my being like a tide pulling me back to what I have known forever…
Once upon a time magical beings named Nymphs lived in the most luscious nooks and corners of the world…near springs, caves, rivers and the sea…in forests and in rich meadows filled with flowers that blossomed in every color of the rainbow. They were embodiments of the magic of nature, that same thing which we all still embody now, but they knew it fully. They lived in the bliss of full knowing and union with the magnificent and beauteous heart of the universe…
The other day I was feeling a bit heavy-hearted and was working hard on the computer when someone sent me a dance video someone made…you know, like a personal flash-mob video…and I watched it once, smiling, and then watched it again and danced along.
Suddenly, my world changed. I was no longer in a rut in even the slightest way, no longer feeling slumpy and frumpy, no longer sitting in a workspace…I was electrified and I was at my own personal (and quite fabulous) dance party…shaking everything I’ve got. I was a radiant star, a moonbeam, a firefly blazing through the night.
I tell this story not to point out that I suddenly discovered that dancing could change my mood (I am an avid dancer, relishing the chance to do it as often as possible and loving every minute of it…in fact I may take a dance break before I even finish writing this post…) but because I want to illustrate, with a modern-day example, how we can learn and take advantage of one of the most powerful secrets of the Nymphs…how to magnetize anything you want.
You see, when I was sitting down, feeling crunched and awkward, I was resonant (even if only partially, for our own great souls hold many different vibrations simultaneously) with whatever vibrations matched that. I had to do something to break the flow of the wavelength I was hanging out in, and once I did, I was suddenly ready for everything good to come my way. I was a one-woman party again (my default mode, even if it is a rather quiet party of one, sipping my favorite beverage, looking at the moon, and dreaming…) And the rest of that day was different as a result. I was not only open to the good and the fun, I was drawing it to me. I had magnetized myself with joy, stolen from the jaws of a low day like the most sweet and erotic of stolen kisses, and infused my space with the energetic scent of playfulness and freedom. I then defined what I would bring forward next.
We have this power, always. This power that the Nymphs had. When they woke up in the morning they were already and instantly in bliss. Starting out that way, they simply carried on through their days in unencumbered, full-on, outright bliss…the bliss of fragrant flowers in their hair and feeling heights of ecstasy from the softest breeze or the feeling of water against their skin. This is because bliss is self-sustaining (as well as world-rockingly healing, nourishing, and pleasureful)…we just have to get there in the first place and keep returning whenever we can. It will self-perpetuate if we nourish our ability to reach it. We just find a place where we can access the spring that wants to bubble up through the earth of our consciousness, and then it will continue to cascade, as long as it is unobstructed, in splendorous waterfalls all through our lives.
What I am suggesting is that if you want to bring something into your life, try to imagine and embody what it would feel like to have it. Become what you want. If you want to be rich, decide that you are rich and figure out how to truly feel as if you are. What is it like to wake up feeling rich in the morning? Try it and find out…even if you feel as though you are just faking it at first. Fake it then. The real feeling and circumstances will more easily come to you as a result.
If you want to have close friends and loved ones, imagine what it is like to be seen and loved that way. See if you can hold and embody that feeling. Put yourself around whatever inspires that feeling, even if it is only a favorite image or movie or book. Steep yourself in it and become saturated. By the time you are done you will feel so full of the feeling you crave that you won’t even crave it the same way anymore, (because you will be too busy enjoying it) and when what you wanted falls into your path, you won’t even be surprised. You will integrate it and welcome it into your life easily because it will feel like a natural consequence or result of the energy you were embodying.
If you want to feel beautiful, decide that you are…again even if it doesn’t feel real but instead like a trick of the mind at first. Believe me, if you are diligent, you will be authentically awfully darn sure that you are a gorgeous being. And you can also believe me, if you’d like, that you are.
If you desire a lover, partner, soul mate, imagine what it is like to be met that way. How would that make you feel?…As you walk through the market, the park, down the street, do so feeling that you are loved that way. It will fill the air around you with luminous gold, and all that you wish for will not be able to help but to respond and match that energy.
In essence, you don’t even have to know which exact energy to focus on. Just find the activities that bring you back to feeling like your most alive, juicy, energized self. Bring yourself back to these activities over and over again with the greatest of disciplines and it will reward you endlessly. I know it can be scary to say yes to yourself this way, this profoundly, but whether it is today or another day, one day it will seem less scary than the alternative.
It is true that regardless of how much you make space to feel your own energy and bliss, and to be in alignment and resonance with the energies you desire in order to magnetize them, you will still also draw to you whatever your soul needs in order to grow, (and therefore find even more ultimate freedom and bliss…in other words, to remove any obstructions to your deepest openness to bliss.) Even the Nymphs discovered struggles before the worlds split, and had to draw more intensely on their bliss to navigate through those times. But that is just exactly how we too can use bliss…to help us navigate through difficult times, as well as to fully enjoy the good ones. (For more information on how to access bliss in the first place see my previous writing: click here.)
The Nymph in the painting with this writing is not afraid of the power of who she is. She is bold, alive, simmering with the juiciness of her own being. She is not worried about whether she will be judged or what anyone else thinks of her. She is full of knowing, and wildfire, and calm ocean waves. She beckons all of us…simply with her being. She isn’t in the place where she is for anyone else. She is where she is only for herself in the pursuit of her own special bliss, and in that way, without even trying, she benefits all.
When I began this post I wasn’t sure I could write it today. I’ve been especially sleepy-feeling and foggy today and writing, in short, about the magnetics of bliss felt large as I sat down to type. But as always, it flowed like the spring of the Nymphs once I was willing to let it. And now, because it simply is time and I have a party to get ready for next, I think I will turn up the music, have a little dance break, and get ready for the next, whole honey-bucket of bliss that awaits me when I do…Join me?…
Love, Jennifer
