DAY 6 ~ VALUING
Rest in Loving Wisdom
​
And visions from the future bless,
As gentle guides who show the way.
They answer calls that ask to serve
Creation in its path of Love
As in-sight flows,
New paths of promise waken.
Instinct and imagination play and wisdom grows -
With past and future mixing fertile longings.
A time of peace and health and joy,
Is seen upon our inner screen,
And swept up by the clarion call,
With inner compass clarity,
We let go and we let come -
To take our place along the way
Into the mysteries of the day

Let's sense into essence
Into the Essence of Essence
Each Essence a consciousness all of its own,
A quality a wavelength, a wisdom a tone,
A unique vibration,
An exclusive sensation,
A pulsating partner in all of Creation.​

Reflections & Practices: Invitation for the sacred renewal of your relationship with the essence of Sharing
~ Offered by Shelley Ostroff
​
valuing: An invitation to commune with the essence of Valuing, holding the following reflections in your heart.​
​
-
What does Valuing mean for you?
​​
-
Invite the essence of Valuing to be present with you as you meet her with your heartful presence. What does the essence of Valuing reveal to you as you listen with the fullness of your being to her unique language?
​
-
Sense into who and what you truly Value, and what inspires in you the heartfelt experience of Valuing someone or something?
​​
-
What happens when we release for a moment all that we have learned about Value and Valuing from our culture, and ask afresh:
-
What is most essential, meaningful, nourishing and vitalizing for you personally, and in what ways do you express the recognition and gratitude for this?
-
What is most essential, nourishing, enriching and important to humanity, to other species and to all of Life, and how can we express the recognition and gratitude for this individually and collectively?
-
​​
-
Sense into what the sacred renewal of our relationship with the essence of Valuing would look like, individually and culturally, and how that would transform the way in which we live in the world?​​
​​
-
What can we learn from the Foundations of Life: Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Climate, Biodiversity and the Web of Life, about the essence of Valuing? How would our culture transform if we learned to Value and express our Valuing of these foundations for all that they gift to humanity and to all of Life?
​​
-
In what ways do you feel called to honor and celebrate the essence of Valuing here and now at the gateway of a new year, a new era and as an ongoing practice in your life?
​​
-
What are the images, feelings, sensations, insights that arise as you commune with the essence of Valuing, and how would you like to express them now through spontaneous journalling, art, movement and sound?
