Good afternoon all!
Here in the UK it was Remembrance Sunday when we remember those who gave their lives in wars great and small.
Lest we forget...
When we honour those men and women who's courage and determination excelled above the ordinary and mundane.
Lest we forget...
When men were ‘old men’ and warrior protectors, not ‘new men’ with aftershave and baby slings around their fronts.
Lest we forget...
Call me old fashioned but I like ‘old men’
Call me an old woman and I like old women too... but I like a man who makes me feel safe and protected and cared for. Then I can go about MY nature to nurture and create.
Reclaiming your position, status, honour.
Standing proud and being happy with who you are... even when others are not
And you are exactly who you wish to be right now otherwise you would be totally different.
For you are right where you are in your life, because YOU chose to be there... no-one else made those choices and decisions for you.
But if you are not happy and feel discontent with yourself and life then take a closer look...
There are two types of soldiers...
Leaders or followers.
Which are you?
There are more soldiers quite happy to follow and still they lead extraordinary lives.
They are self disciplined, responsible and honourable. They have codes, boundaries and limitations.
They are the ones who implement change. Who make change happen on a GRAND scale. Without the follower soldiers - ideas would not be made manifest so quickly.
But...
A few are leaders, natural or created by circumstance...
Leaders are FEARless!
They stand up for you when you fall.
They will fight for you when your strength is gone.
They will help you to stand on your own two feet.
Leaders have seemingly boundless energy to call upon and share.
Leaders are grounded in self belief.
Leaders are selfless.
The true Warrior Healer is simply ALIVE.
A true Warrior Healer exudes a charismatic energy that will not be denied.
A true Warrior Healer LIVES in the here and now totally.
A line from the ‘Last Samurai’ says it all... “I will not tell you how he died, I will tell how he lived”.
Any soldier, young or old, inspires you to LIVE right now... for tomorrow, who knows...
Has there ever been a time in the history of man that we have not been in conflict or at war with each other somewhere on the planet???
No...
So perhaps there is a reason for that?
We ‘fight’ even for peace... The sentence says it all
It is all well and good being a spiritual person and being super nice but many such people are falsely so. You can sense the control and suppression of natural emotions. People who are so nice they never get angry... People who are so nice they are just not real.
To be angry is to be alive in the moment.
Your anger is there to help you assert and defend yourself when necessary. It flows through you like a raging torrent of ALIVENESS.
Only when it isn't allowed to do this is there a problem. It gets stuck and festers inside.
A woman who is angry has a fire and beauty in her eyes that is magnificent!!! She becomes all woman.
A man who is angry has a roar like a lion and the strength of ten. He becomes the leader.
Anger is purifying to the soul. It is a cleansing emotional vomit. It is the storm that clears the air and brings an air of tranquillity in it's wake.
It is very difficult to quell such magnificent energy by wafting a few feathers about...
I have no wish to ‘fight’ for peace. Peace is not out there... it is in here - me.
An old soldier has taught me more about life the universe and all who LIVE in her than any Guru or mystic has or ever could.
He has taught me to respect myself that I might know how to respect others.
He has taught me how to honour myself that I might know how to see the honour in others.
He has taught me how to love myself so much that I overflow with love and compassion for others.
The old soldier taught me how to live NOW... not die in the future.
Find a gentle way of acknowledging your connection to the Whole.
The more you use it, the more you come to understand the Whole.
For there is only one energy... you are that old soldier... you are the Warrior Healer.
You are War and Peace.
Until next time…..
