Last week, I participated in Sophfronia' Scott's Fearless Fridays Telesummit.  The topic I delivered was "The Law of Attraction and The Divine Nature of Fear."  It was great fun to share that information, and it has put the topic of fear in my mind.

So, it was not surprising when a couple days later I picked my morning meditation (Periwinkles and Letting Go) and the subject of fear came up.  (See more on this topic below.)

This has been another grand week.  One particularly fun event for me was horseback riding.  I grew up around horses but haven't ridden much in my adult life.

Lately, I've been getting back into things I loved in my childhood but have let fall away over the years.

What are some childhood loves you would like to reactivate in your life now? 

What can you do today to start?

I chose an absolutely SPLENDID day for a ride on the beach.  There were dozens of different kinds of flowers blooming along the trail.  I was lucky to snap this photo of some early Rugosa Roses as we trotted by -- a little blurry, but you get the idea!

And, the photo above is of me and Jill happy at the end of our trail.  Isn't she pretty!  I've always loved paliminos -- in fact, I still have my little Breyer palamino horse on display in my office.  You KNOW it ranks when it makes the office cut!!

Periwinkle energy helps you to let go of thoughts and energies that no longer serve you.

They can help you to find a light-hearted ability to process your feelings and to let go (as is always fruitful) of any negativity and non-productive thoughts that keep you from moving forward to meet your desires.

Fear is a truly non-productive emotion.  It is an emotion that STOPS us.  It is not an emotions that propels us forward (like passion or enthusiasm do, for instance).

It IS productive to find ways to release fears and to move forward from a clear, fearless energy.  In that powerful place your actions and decisions are unclouded from the resistance and constriction of fear.

Its Divine Nature is that it is a part of our Divine Guidance System that we all have but mostly ignore.

ALL our emotions are a part of our Divine Guidance System that lets us know when we are on track and when we are viewing the world in a way that departs from our own inner wisdom.  When we feel icky we are not on track.  When we feel wonderful (some might say "divine"!), we are on track.  Simple as that.

Affirmation:

I am ready to release any non-productive energy that stands between me and living the Life of My Dreams -- now!
