8 Wisdom/CIB

Greetings on this 8 (Justice), Wisdom/CIB (Wisdom of the Ancients)

Sending Love, Light and Forgiveness
The energy of 8 moves us toward balance and justice, and we are offered the guidance of 'as above, so below.' I relate this to the illustration of the vortex energies, first spiraling from below to the center and out again as it expands upward. It also reminds me that what is sent out, like the vortex, which has an equal and opposite reaction... returns to us.

With renewed intention to release and forgive, I was reminded of a sacred healing ceremony recently offered by my medicine teacher. "First, look to the Sun and draw in the healing breath of light and love, and next, focus your intention for healing on the person who is in need - and exhale, sending the breath of love and light. You can do this 4 times, or blow 4 short breaths on the exhale. Be sure to focus back onto the Sun before drawing each healing breath."

Using this ceremony to send healing to the granddaughter of a dear friend who had an immediate turn-around, I decided I could use this sacred breath for myself. As I considered my renewed focus on forgiveness this morning, I took this one step further and decided to send this loving light to those I want to release with forgiveness. With a first breath, I blew love and light along the entrance to their home and surrounding property. On the second, I blew the spirit of love and light throughout inside of their home. On the third, I blew love and light on their person from head to toe. And, on the final fourth breath - sent blessings to their family, friends and surrounding community.

I experienced once again that when you are a channel for love and light, there is nowhere for darkness to exist within you. When you are sending love and light you create a vortex of love that is returned to you - as above, so below - you are both sending and receiving. We are ALWAYS sending and receiving, and what you send is what you will receive.

My dear teacher shared with me, "Do you know anyone who is not looking for love? Isn't that the one thing that each one of us is seeking - and the only "one thing" that can satisfy our longing?" This is the one gift that costs nothing to give, and requires nothing to receive. In fact, isn't it our whole purpose for living?
