Artist Date, Week Eight ~ Crystal Palace Meditation

This morning my hubby and I spent about two hours hiking the Sunrise trail via 145th Way at the McDowell Sonoran Convervancy.  This is one of my favorite hikes.  One reason is because it is down the street from my house, but also it is never crowded, and the views are breathtaking.  You can see the mountains far east past Fountain Hills,  plus south and west of the Valley of the Sun.  When you hike this unknown treasure, you feel like you are far away from it all, even though you are close to everything.  I can really connect with Gaia when on a hike in the foothills around my house.  Today the desert was green, the ocotillo was thriving, the sky was blue, and the sun was warm. It was a perfect morning.

My Artist Date today was participating along with Tom Kenyon in a global meditation where people from all over the world got together for one hour and meditated together.  This meditation is called The Crystal Palace Meditation.  The purpose of this global meditation was to access higher levels of creativity, innate within us, and gain access to what we refer to as our Higher Self—which is simply an aspect of your consciousness that extends beyond the constraints of your awareness as it is currently experienced within the constraints of time and space. This Higher Self—this interdimensional aspect of your consciousness—is a potential source of immense inspiration, wisdom, insight and creativity.

I have meditated on and off for years.  The longest meditation program I did was Holosync, which I did for almost two years.  I have not lately done any meditation programs, I have only participated in a global meditations.  The last two global meditations were for Fire the Grid.  The first Fire the Grid had me up before 4:00am so I could participate in that meditation.  Thankfully, this meditation today was at 3:00 pm my time, so there was no excuse in not doing it with the rest of the world.

My Higher Self has always talked to me, that is never in question.  But do I always listen?  Mostly, but I am open to hearing more.  I am always open to anyone who wants to show and teach me ways of opening up a clear channel to my Higher Self.  The gifts of a clear channel to your Higher Self—new creative thought, joined with wisdom, for the elevation of your own life and the elevation of your relationships, as well as your community through the mysterious arising of personal courage and inspiration.  Not bad for having a clear channel. 
Once in awhile I feel I need an adjustment or tune-up, so there is no static on my line to my Higher Self.  Doing The Artist's Way course was exactly what I needed, and my Higher Self made sure I found out about this course.  Like I said before, she always has my back. 

Trust this still, small voice that says,
"This might work and I'll try it."
