When the phrase “Love’s Deepest Asking” came to me in meditation there was a feeling of utter love and invitation with it. I’ve been learning from following that invitation, responding with a “yes” and watching my life change before my very eyes. It’s been an amazing experience.
Love’s deepest asking for me, has been an invitation to open fully to all I hold dear, to go for what I really want in my life and to feel past my fears in to the strength of this calling. Love’s deepest asking is not only an invitation; it also provides what is needed to fulfill it.
After 25 years of workinginternationally as a spiritual guide and a professional musician I thought I would have fearlessness in place across the board. It’s not true of course. Each time I choose the greatness of the Universe acting through me, I bump in to self-judgments of my perceived shortcomings, along with the question of my “enough-ness.” These judgments are quieting as compassion, courage and my “yes” grows. For me, this is Love’s Deepest Asking.
What this looks like in my life at the moment is an internal shift with external results. On the internal scene, each morning as I sit in meditation I feel into what loves deepest asking is for me. I listen and feel for what it is for the moment, for the day ahead, for my life’s expression and my soul’s calling. I also feel in to the relationships in my life from this place. Am I openly loving those I claim to love, am I truly showing up?
On the external scene, I am seeing results such as a brand new look to TheBreathingLife site, an article published in January’s issue of Bella Spark Magazine, my teaching a Telesumit in February and a couple of new shows I’m producing with my original music between now and end of April. My life looks like how I feel it to be inside when I listen to love’s deepest asking of me. The invitation is to step in to my dreams fully, no more excuses or reasons as to why not. The truth is, even though I didn’t have all these pieces “planned” I kept saying “yes” inside to whatever love’s deepest asking would bring, and these things unfolded right in to place. This is what love can do.
I am motivated and inspired to reach beyond my own life and offer this invitation to you. I’m curious as to what would happen in your life if you entertained the question: “What is Love’s Deepest Asking for my life?”
It is my hope to begin a network on my site entitled: Love’s Deepest Asking Network – A Conversation Café. I imagine people sitting with the invitation of love’s deepest asking as it is relative to them, discovering what this is for them and then sending their stories in. Imagine a global community of people, like you, who are taking up this invitation and sharing with everyone else about its unfolding. I like this idea and I hope you’ll consider it.
I wish you the greatest of blessings for 2012. If you wish to write to me about love’s deepest asking in your life, I’d love to hear from you~
Gratefully
