The Light Of The Lantern

This week in meditation I asked for guidance in my next steps and what I need to move forward. The message I received is for all of us and a reminder of the reassuring simplicity of the answers our questions.

​"Be calm and centred. Be alert to the guidance you are given and be diligent in following what you are given or shown. 

Remember to remain fully present in each moment. You are learning a new way of being and doing. You are here to shine light on the pathway for yourself and others.

[I am shown an image of holding and shining a lantern in the darkness]

“At times it might seem like you are lighting the pathway in the darkness. And as you shine the lantern in the darkness, shadows appear and can loom up, sometimes disproportionately. But the shadows are not real, you can safely move forward. The pathway is still there, your destination is there, even if you can’t see it.

You don’t need to focus on the shadows, you can focus on the pockets of light, the fairy campfires. You know that what you focus on becomes bigger and bigger.

See how magnetised the virus has become because it has gained the full lens of humanity’s attention. And although it is microscopic and unseen, it has the power to cause harm and to create waves of fear across your world. This is not inherent in the virus itself. It is inherent in humanity’s misunderstanding of its own power of focus and belief.

So trust in the glimmers in the darkness, amongst the shadows, for there are treasures there awaiting your focus so they can shine and take up the full lens in your life.

[I am shown how the shadows grow and shrink in accordance to how the lantern is held]

See how the shadows grow and shrink according to how you focus your light. You truly are in control of your own reality.

So detach yourself from the shadows and hold your lantern according to your own truth and move it so the shadows shrink and the treasures expand. Remember, the shadows loom and shrink by moving your light, not by extinguishing your light.

When your light goes out, there is only darkness and you only see the light of others, so you are led to believe you are nothing in comparison.

You only need reignite your own flame and place it so that the shadows fall away and all is illuminated.

Practice, simply practice this way of being and shining your light.”
