The stone of DOMINION calls forth our STRENGTH. We typically think of power when we think of strength, however power all unto itself is purely force; explosive, unmitigated, un or mis-directed, and potentially dangerous. Perhaps this is why we have so often been cautious of claiming and fully stepping into our own power.... Perhaps we fear that it will overcome us, that we will not be able to handle it, nor others be able to handle us, that it will drive us to drive over others, that we might be out of control. Ahh... but let's remember, our STRENGTH. Our Strength is our ability to own our power, harness it, and direct it with our CHOICE. Our Strength allows for us to fully BE in our POWER and have DOMIAN over it and our selves as we use our power with conscious choice and precise intention. It doesn't drive us, we drive it. Your personal power is GREAT and it is activated once you fully step into it. You don't have to be afraid of it. By now you have forged through vast life experiences, you have worked hard and long developing your sensibilities and have become intimately familiar with your values... With this STRENGTH you can TRUST that your heart, even when it's WILD, is NOBLE... and so with the energy that is your great power you will choose to ignite life in creative and constructive ways, not destructive. For you don't have to be ferocious or brutal to make an impact, in fact that would be quite powerless and weak.... It is in STRENGTH and GRACE that one makes a sustainable impact. It is the equanimous and peaceful warrior that is truly strong, and thus truly powerful. You are the lion AND the lion tamer, all at once... Yes, a human animal ALIVE with impulses, passion, and spirited fire... and Yes, you can master these powerful qualities and use them as fuel for what you want to light up in your life. In which ways do you want to DIRECT your POWER? What do you want to TURN ON, what do you want to POWER UP, what do you want to ENLIVEN? Your personal POWER is inherently yours. Acknowledge and HONE in your STRENGTH and, with confidence and grace... BE EMPOWERED. Own it. Direct it with your will. Turn your passions into life giving, life igniting creations, enterprises and relationships. There's never been a more vital time for you to step up and show up powerfully in your life, and in the world.

I invite you to listen to the powerful words of poet Suheir Hammad and how she speaks from total strength, commanding her expression with her will, and thus transforming what could be a defeated story into one of true empowerment. She stands up in the world in "charge," speaking up for so many who cannot, channeling their voices and LIGHTing us up with their courage and STRENGTH. She is an incandescent example of claiming the DOMAIN of her POWER... through GRACE.

Today we pull the stone of SEED, reminding us that despite how things may appear, everything is already whole and complete... in which ever state of BECOMING it is in. There is a dualistic nature to everything.... we are growing and developing, as is all in our world, and so we are never fully complete or final -even death begins a new cycle of transformation and renewal... AND... with every stage of growth we can also recognize the wholeness always at work within ourselves and any situation. There is a blueprint, an encoding if you will, within every life... of a person, enterprise, situation, and relationship. A plant's blueprint is wired into it' biological makeup. As is a human's, although the coding is throughly mutable through experience and belief systems. And it is belief systems that infuse the intentions, consciously or unconsciously, that encode our activities, projects, and relationships. 

Feel on a particular situation in your life right now for which you have a total sense of its potential... you see it in your mind clearly, your feel strongly how and where it could/should be, you know how you want it to be, your desire for it to already be that way is fervent. But, its not there yet, it hasn't happened, in fact it may appear to be not happening at all. You feel it but you don't see it and so perhaps you begin to feel frustrated, and even doubtful. "Why isn't it there yet? ...Maybe I am wrong... Maybe it's not happening after all... Maybe it's not meant to be". Remember... that all is growing and developing at all times, that where ever it is at, this situation is WHOLE right now, just where it needs to be in its road of maturation. Just like the entire oak tree is already imprinted in the acorn, this situation, and you yourself, are whole and complete at every stage of BECOMING. Life is but a series of completions. Each one wholly vital to the next, each one wholly vital to the full potential. The great potential that you feel so clearly about this situation IS very real... instead of interpreting your sense as a discrepancy with what you actually see before you, recognize what you are feeling is its WHOLENESS, right NOW, and take that awareness into being present with where it's at right NOW, secure in the knowing that it can't get to where it's going without BEING right where it IS, in this here state of becoming, this level of completion. And now as you are present with it here and now it can fully take SEED and proceed with developing further. For if you have your mind living in a future idea of it or in doubt of it then the growth will surely be stunted. Remember how your beliefs and thus intentions can influence the encoding within the situation and thus how it grows, or not. If you begin to believe it to be "not enough," "lacking," "impossible," etc, then it will take on that blueprint and never mature. When you know it is presently WHOLE as it needs to be, and allow it to be complete, even now, then in THAT vein does it take root and flourish. 

In this video, Abraham Hicks speaks about seeing everything from the eyes of source. With this universal perspective we allow things to be just as they are right now... as we take our egos, its expectations, and our personal reactions out of the equation. If we see the need for a person to change, we must choose not to take their actions personally, and allow them to BE just where they are NOW. If we deny them and where they are now, then from where can they grow? Seeing them, or ourselves, from the big picture perspective, from the awareness of all that IS, from the divine intelligence that conducts all of life... we recognize that there is WHOLENESS at work and at play, complete in never being complete, always in a diving state of EXPANSION.
