I Knew It Was Time For You To Blossom...

Dear Beautiful Friends... 

"I knew that when it was time for you to blossom into who you were meant to be it would happen. It was hard for you to wait, often painful, too much of your life was ruled by fear, uncertainty, and a lack of belief in yourself, but I knew. 

We must move through the world in a unique way, not like any others. We look around us and don't understand, at times feel jealous, or hopeless, or sad. "Why not me?" But you are on your journey and they are on theirs. Some of the most difficult things you will move through, and survive, are the very things that will bear the greatest gifts when the time is right. Some of the people who have survived greater horrors than we can imagine and will never see become people that do enormous things in the world that help to save others, that bring peace, love, and joy to millions. Whatever path you are walking, it is your path, and you will survive, and thrive, and when the time is right the door will open and the moment will be like the one in the movie "The Wizard of Oz" when the scene moves from black and white to full blown technicolor. But there is something you must do. 

 You must, through whatever means and no matter how long it takes, and that may be years, let go of your past. You must reach that point where you can draw a line in the sand and step over it, and as you do you will be taking the albatross that has been around your neck, weighing you down, and set it down, and walk forward lighter, freer, and with more space to let in the light and make way for the potent possibilities before you. You must realize that whomever may have hurt you in the past should not be allowed to color who you are today. If you allow it, they win. If you step forward, over that line, and into the present moment, you will be freer than you ever dreamed possible, and only then are the seeds of your dreams truly planted. Like a garden you will move through the seasons and watch them grow as you tend them, and the journey along the way will be the greatest gift of all. 

 I knew when the time was right you would blossom. It is time. Do the work you need to do to plant those seeds. It will be my greatest joy to watch you grow."

Coming Soon: Maitri's "Compassion Line" from Dragonfly Cottage returns. I did this for many years but discontinued it for while. I am going to re-instate it and you can call as often as you like, and even leave me a message after the compassionate message if you are moved to do so. They will be messages like these, and others in this spirit, that are part of my new book, due out in 2013, "The Deep Listening Soul Guidebook." The number for the phone line will be posted as soon as the first message goes up in the next few days...

I will also begin taking private students in 2013. It is a very deep experience and I limit my number of students due to the depth of the work. If you are interested in getting on the waiting list or receiving more information when it is up, please e-mail me at maitri@dragonflycottage.com.
