Yet and still…last winter I became tightly wrapped in a chrysalis, awaiting…something, though not sure what. Such times can feel difficult, wanting to move to the next stage before the wings are formed and the path out is clear. Desert time. I have been twisting and turning in my cacoon, feeling the friction of rubbing against walls, moving this way and that and none of it feeling quite right.

But, now, I realize…friction is required to start a flame, to ignite the fire of clarity and passion within.

And so what does all this mean - really? That although I love Full Dimensional Living, my path is curving toward other horizons right now. I have fought this change. But it is now time to embrace it. FDL will remain here, and when I so moved, I will post and chat and hope to connect with whomever may be out there in the internet ethers listening. I have no set schedule for when that will happen, however. My products are still here. And I have a new site up as well - one part of the new path: www.tracycarreon.com.

The Full Dimensonal Living Facebook Page remains active, and I invite you to join me: FDL on Facebook.

I wish each person who comes here the power and grace of the chrysalis, the flint of inspiration and clear vision, and the wings to follow your path, with self-compassion, courage and love.

In your mind’s eye imagine in this space a ball of yellow light…powerful and pure. With every breath feel the yellow light filling you, reaching downward…through your abdomen, groin and legs, and out the bottom of your feet, into the ground, growing roots deep into the earth.

Now let it rise upward, through your heart, arms, hands, throat and face…finally moving outward through the crown of your head, rising to meet the light of the Heavens.

Light continues to flow…upward and downward, through every cell in your system, dancing and spinning…powerful and free.

Now bring  your attention back to your core, to the light’s origin. Feel it begin to calm, to pulsate in rhythm with your breath. Look deeper within it…allow an image to emerge…the image of a woman – as powerful, pure, calm and beautiful as the light. A woman who dances in rhythm with the earth and the Heavens…who lives in the center where the wisdom of both meet.

Within every woman lives the memory of a Goddess, who, wild and free makes her home in the rich and fertile forest of a Woman’s true essence. Though often hidden and even forgotten, Her voice echoes through the dark places, her touch felt as an ancient yearning…for connection to inner wisdom…for a Self that awaits re-membrance and release…for Womanhood invoked.   

Deep. Rich. Sensual. Fluid. Mysterious. Powerful. Healing. The embodiment of Love. Honored by ancient wisdom. Sought for comfort. Pregnant with Life. 

Words that evoke an image of the feminine as discovered in the secret room of a woman’s heart and soul, from where the sacred river of life flows. When a woman opens the door and crosses the threshold to this room, her bare feet meet fertile ground. She is returned to her body, the vessel of her sensuality…she re-members her Divinity, the source of her wisdom. She moves fluidly, reconnected to her essence. Here in the Garden of the Goddess she is full, overflowing…ripe with the passion of Life.

Come to stand, with your feet planted firmly on the ground, your back straight but relaxed, your chin tucked in so your neck is in alignment with your spine, your shoulders rolled back and down…palms open and turned frontward. Close your eyes and again bring your focus to your breath. Feel the Woman in the Center, alive within you. Breathe her into Being. And then, when you sense her presence…begin to move. From your core…letting your body follow her lead.

Head…shoulders…arms…hands. Breathe and move, light and free.

Chest and upper spine…heart opening, expanding, embracing.

Hips…legs…feet. Grounded and strong.

The Goddess dances…awakened. Remembered.

There is a deep sweetness that Woman, in Her highest expression, knows and gives birth to. A sweetness conceived by the Divine, born through the fusion of Earth and Heaven. A sweetness that is both powerful in its embrace and gentle in its force.

A sweet succulence that delights in life and all of its passions. But that fears not the labor pains of evolution.

The Goddess remembers the Wisdom of the ages and of eternity. She awaits the emergence of tomorrow…where history’s ancient knowing and today’s conscious intelligence blend into One. She yearns to dance once more…through Woman unleashed anew, Woman re-membered. Woman Proclaimed.

As your dance slows, let yourself move into the posture of your own inner Goddess. Breathe into her limbs and into her heart. And feel her become alive within your own limbs and heart. Breathe deeply and take a single step…walking into the present, toward the horizon of a bright, powerful and peace-filled future… Goddess embodied.

Reclaiming the Sweetness

I have been on my own Goddess quest for years and have found her in many places…in dance, poetry, yoga, Love, mothering. I must say I never expected to discover Her in chocolate.

Recently I began a new division of Full Dimensional Living, one focused on physical and emotional wellness, in the form of a very special type of Healthy Chocolate. It seems an oxymoron, but as my left brain sought out understanding and did the research, I became amazed by the scientific and testimonial evidence backing the product. But somewhere along the way, my right brain also began to dance with joy. Because what I was, and continue to be brought back to again and again is the fusion of ancient wisdom with modern progress. Cocoa was used by the Aztecs and Mayans for its medicinal qualities and revered by them to such an extent that it was used as currency. Not until the Industrial Revolution did cocoa become candy, stripped of its natural essence – its value and potency. And as I learn all of this something inside me begins to buzz with recognition. Woman and Chocolate. Both long ago revered for their natural essence and healing qualities. Both stripped of their power and potency in the midst of time’s conquering.

Today, we seek again the force of the feminine, reawakening Her from Her long slumber, infusing Her with the evolution of the ages. As she emerges, the words resonate: She is…Deep. Rich. Sensual. Fluid. Mysterious. Powerful. Healing. The embodiment of Love. Honored by ancient wisdom. Sought for comfort. Pregnant with Life. 

Today, science rediscovers the power of ancient Cocoa and mixes it with the intelligence of today’s technology, bringing out an innate potency that was given as a gift of the earth and enhancing it with that which has made it the modern symbol of love, and of life’s sweetness. Once more, the words resonate: Chocolate is… Deep. Rich. Sensual. Fluid. Mysterious. Powerful. Healing. The symbol of Love. Honored by ancient wisdom. Sought for comfort. Full with Life. 

Woman and chocolate. For years the match has been made almost in jest. But I am opening to a deeper connection. To the calling for reclamation and evolution of life’s sweetness…to the innate healing power of the Earth and Heaven. To the fluid, sensual dance of Love as it travels through the veins of the Divine, through the roots of the Earth, seeking and finding its Home in the heart of all that is.

Return to the posture of your inner Goddess. Hold in your hand the sweetness of life as found in chocolate. Imagine your feet grounded upon ancient earth as you slowly, with mindfulness, place the chocolate on your tongue. Let the cocoa melt there…again slowly, its sweetness merging with yours, healing, transforming, awakening. Evolving…roots fed by the wisdom of the past and arms open to embrace the intelligence of the present. Moving, dancing… into the infinite possibilities that  await.

She spoke about how she once feard everyone saying, “Oprah sure is full of herself.” And then she came to realize that this was exactly what she wanted to be…full of her Self. 100% filled with all that she is – not with who she thought she should be or with who someone else deemed her to be, or I would imagine…filled with any kind of small version of the brilliant, beautiful, powerful woman that she is.

And so the quest for each of us is to become filled to the brim with our Selves – with the brilliance of who we are and were born to be.

Blessings,

Tracy

I hold the Creation story to look something like this: it begins with the Absolute, where all is One…from that One comes a multitude of individual droplets, all containing the wisdom of the Whole, but each a delicate, precise and individual design. Like exquisite compositions of music…the notes remain the same, but the arrangement is unique. Each of us holds the signature of Divinity, but our expression of it is singular, meant to be channeled through our gifts and talents, our passions, purposes and stories.

Our Emergent Self holds all of this in its highest form; it is the bearer of our Truth, in wait of our claiming. It holds no judgment, no expiration date. But it does call for us, its calls coming in the forms of opportunity and loss, synchronicity and discontent, wonderment and heartbreak… urging us to step, to leap, to break open and soar into the space of our greatest Becoming. To touch upon and remember the beauty and truth of Who We Are.

Discovering the Emergent Self is not something we must earn, but is our deepest birthright. It is our most essential nature. But…ah, the but…truly coming Home to this treasure often requires a journey taken…a journey through all the aspects of the self, which require us to face the heroes and demons within.

We must be willing to open the dusty boxes of our stories, where our oldest held beliefs have been packed away – some unconscious, outmoded and even dangerous, these beliefs are often unconsciously directing our lives, but not serving us well. We must be willing to dive deep, into the dark murky waters of our Shadow, where we run into the disenfranchised, the lost, the abandoned and the damaged…only to discover that we are they. We must be willing to share space with these parts of ourselves, to hear their cries and their longings, to bring light to bear upon them, and to do so with a soft touch and an open heart.

Such a journey is rarely easy to embark upon, to say “Yes!” to and is often best done in the company of a supportive other. But it is a journey well worth taking, for what we are given in return are the keys to the kingdom, those that unlock our energy, our passion, the full spectrum of our gifts and potential. The greatest treasure, however, is the way we come to love and accept ourselves and the constellation of Life…how we begin to grow in Love and our capacity to Be it, to Give it, and to Know it from within, as the light of Divinity shining through our entirety. And when we are able to bask in that glow, to open our arms and accept its warmth and fullness, to not turn our backs on it in fear of undeservedness or of being burned by goodness, we recognize ourselves as both Lover and Beloved, Source and Beneficiary.

And in the space of such awareness we feel the hand of our Emergent Self upon us and we know, if even for one shimmering moment, that we are Home.

I am talking instead about the voice deep down in our belly, the one that says No or Yes to life and to its deeper, higher calls. The one that is a reflection of how open we are to the process of living and its changing seasons, how trusting we are of Life, God and ourselves, and how much we truly believe in an evolutionary flow that is innately good, working for the purpose of our growth and ever greater becoming.

Stop for a moment. Focus on the point just beneath where your ribs meet in front, your solar plexus. With each breath let your awareness move deeper…into your core. Rest here for a moment. Then hear Life ask…are you ready?

What answer comes? Yes…No?

Or maybe another question – for what?

…to expand your vision, to live fully with arms open wide, welcoming all that arises and risking what you must in order to become who you are…

Be clear, there is no judgment in the question. No judgment of the answer. The question has no expiration date, but remains eternally – patiently – awaiting your arrival. If you say No today and return tomorrow, Life…God…you own Highest Self… will ask you again…are you ready? Are you ready?

No is actually a very good answer. When you can enter into the inner temple and say, No, I am not yet ready to live my greatest story, you are inviting honest awareness and inquiry stripped of masks, defenses and falsities.

When you say No, you are allowing the deeper questions to rise: What keeps you from readiness, or willingness? What must be seen, known, let go of and finally…finally surrendered before your Inner Brilliance can be revealed within you and expressed to the world?

Excavating the answers to these questions is where the real work begins.

No(s) are often found under the rubble of excuses – what we tell ourselves and what we truly believe holds us back from being and doing what we most desire. They are perpetuated by the coziness of our comfort zones, our resistances to change or fears of the unknown. They can be an inherited perspective, the stamp of limited expectations emblazoned upon us by our histories.

You will recognize your own No(s) in the big and little choices of your life: a conversation left un-had, an apology not given, a relationship allowed to wither or one suffered through, staying in a job long after knowing you should go, or refusing a path that deep down you know is right for you. No often echoes most loudly, not in answers given to the world, but in those held deep inside – in love held back, forgiveness denied, risks untaken, or perpetual self-recriminations…in the refusal to slow down and let truth reveal itself…to let God in.

Can you, right now, think of a time when you said No to Life calling you into your greatest nature or onto a different, perhaps more authentic path? (If you can’t, you’re way ahead of most of us, and I salute you!).

If you are able to recall such a time, let yourself wonder…what would saying Yes have looked like? And what would it have cost you? What would it have asked you to do or give that you weren’t, at the time, ready for?

And now, looking back…what did saying No cost you?

But, too, what did you come to know, to learn through saying No? What of yourself was made stronger? Honor this.

All through our lives, over and over again, we are given the opportunity to choose, to define, to create, who we are…and to choose again, to redefine and recreate who we are. Over and over we are called into knowing and being the “highest version of our highest self*”. Only through our No(s) do we even learn what it means to say Yes to Life.

Through living the experience of who you think you are, you are drawn, with fervent love and fierce compassion, by the omega point of who you most truly are…

Your life, in its wisdom, is the unique path of your soul’s undertaking, meant to teach you what it must in order for you to awaken.

Every inner or outer call…for change, for fearlessness, for a leap of faith…is your Soul’s way of drawing you to your core, into your greatest story. Every No given in response to a call simply creates a new trajectory in the journey, leading to another call, another opportunity…back to the question: Are you ready?

So, when you hear the next bell tolling for you, when that next fork in the road appears and you are given a point of choice…go within and answer in honesty. Saying No with awareness is a huge step toward saying Yes.

And saying Yes is only another beginning…

Namaste.
