Sparkler for the Day: "When the ego feels threatened, it pulls out its three big guns – the need to control, the need for approval, and the need to judge. Don’t believe the hype. Its firing blanks." ~Soulseeds.com #GetYourSparkOn #FeelTheRapture #WaheGuru #kippinitreal with gratitude to The Infinite & Pinterest for the image & Jay Remer for the quote IMG_8318

Spring Mergence ~ Winter's loosened grip has given way to flowers shedding tears of nectar joy. I walk the fields and pass the hours held in the scents of sweetgrass, tree frog peeps, and dewdrops. You bring me home again, each step a little deeper, midst roots and shoots quickened by spring showers. A shadow in the mist could have been anyone. I look to see a friend revealed in a ray burst of sun. I greet my friend and bow in meeting, this soul standing strong and steady, dear scaly towering ancient oak treebeing. Oh sweet fields of plenty, no dreams can possess you; I drink in your blessed bounty, feel my heart beat sink into and sync with your powers. You bring me home again to all that You are, to all that I am. We are here in this moment. The Oneness permeates us all. Mergence. ~ E.R.Kipp (Puran Adesh Kaur) 03/10/17 #SpringMergence #kippinitreal EK logo and site Woman of the southwind waterlogue

Sparkler for the Day: May we follow the lesson and example of our ancestors who lived with the land rather than sought to tame and conquer it. May we tread lightly and joyfully in gratitude on the earth. #GetYourSparkOn #FeelTheRapture #WaheGuru #kippinitreal with gratitude to @tumenator by tentree for the image of the heart tree in Sequoia National Park, CA IMG_8166

Whispers from Our Ancestors Listen to the whispers of the mothers and fathers that came before us - they beckon and invite us to heal. We awaken to a world asleep, connection to the heart all but forgotten. Our heart swells, our gut twists, tears fall for it all, for hopes we had since we were babes, for a world rid of injustice in all its codes and colors. Listen to the whispers of those that came before us - they beckon and invite us to heal. Here we are – this world set inside a tempest of the lost and asleep. What are we to do or be? Where is our commitment in all of this - To ourselves and to the world? We can commit to experiencing our humanity in relationship to ourSelf. We can weather the storm here in the moment. We can drop into that sweet surrender of being who we are. We spent so much time with hope that doing what we could to move us toward light and love would make everything okay. Here we sit trying to find purchase in the still point of the storm, the place where love resides, feeling as if the progress we’ve witnessed and helped nurture is getting sucked back into a vast back hole of fear and separation. Our footing is so tenuous. We’re not sure where to step. See? Our fear rises up. We need something solid, a place of refuge, constant and loving. Oh, beautiful resting place of peace here in the breath and being. We find freedom and release hiding right here in the present, eternally waiting for us to show up. We each weather the storm around us. We drop into that sweet surrender of being who we are. Stay here in the still point and do our work from this place going forward, for it is here that we hear the sweet whispers and wisdom of our ancestors. #ListenToTheAncestors #PresentMoment #AncestralClearing #kippinitreal https://elizabeth-kipp.com EK logo and site Ancestors Waterlogue-2016-12-13-08-28-18

Please enjoy the excerpt from my chapter “My Addiction Story: We Can Heal from Chronic Pain” in the newly released book Dare to Be Sober. “…Captivity is a mentality. It was a thing I carried with me. It’s hard to understand how confusing freedom is when you have been a prisoner for so long. It’s hard to understand how hard it is to grasp that you even have choice, that you can act. It's hard to understand how unimaginable the sun is if you’ve been living underground for years. Herein lies the crux of the matter for those of us when we are caught in the grip of active addiction. Look at the courage and the extraordinary force it takes to break out of the inertia of being such a prisoner for so long and the action that one must take to change the momentum, the course of one’s trajectory, from the unimaginable to the exquisite knowing of real freedom. Surrender is truly a super power and our Higher Power is always listening and at the ready to lift us back up to the sun. We need only bow and ask, but bow and ask we must…” You can pick up a copy of this book at http://bit.ly/EKBooks (and for those of you who are thinking about The Clarity Statement, I tried to bring clarity to this book’s title, but was overruled.) 16708648_1326752790720226_2134632395722601152_n

Please enjoy Part 4 of this series. We can heal from our patterns of stress and anxiety. Part of healing and living beyond the stress and anxiety we experience is in shifting out of the frequency of lack and into the frequency of abundance. Gratitude vibrates within the frequency of abundance. If we are focusing on how stressed we are, we get hung up in the feeling of being stressed. But if we focus instead on how blessed we are, then we shift our focus to a whole other energy state and open to the frequency of gratitude, the baseline in the frequency of abundance... http://blog.thewellnessuniverse.com/relieve-stress-anxiety-and-fear-part-4/ Relieve-Stress-Anxiety-and-Fear-Part-4-by-Elizabeth-Kipp-TheWellnessUniverse-WUVIP-RelieveStress

Sparkler for the Day: “I do not want to step so quickly Over a beautiful line on God's palm As I move through the earth's Marketplace Today. I do not want to touch any object in this world Without my eyes testifying to the truth That everything is My Beloved. Something has happened To my understanding of existence That now makes my heart always full of wonder And kindness. I do not Want to step so quickly Over this sacred place on God's body That is right beneath your Own foot As I Dance with Precious life Today.” “Today” by HAFIZ (translated by Daniel Ladinksy) #getyoursparkon #feeltherapture #kippinitreal #WUVIP 💜 IMG_8110

#1 Best-Seller! “365 Life Shifts: Pivotal Moments that Changed Everything” Every so often, we have an experience that alters the course of our lives and changes who we are forever. Sometimes these moments fill us with rapture and flood us with insight. Other times, they are blessings in disguise that don't reveal their treasure until years later. However they show up, these moments can inspire us to live richer, deeper, and more authentically soulful lives. In this book, 365 Life Shifts: Pivotal Moments that Changed Everything,” over 250 authors share such life-changing moments - experiences that inspired, uplifted, shook us to our core, got us back on track (or onto a new track altogether), and led us toward our true selves. The 365 inspiring stories include: • discovering your purpose, • experiencing a spiritual awakening, • leaving a job/relationship/home/religion to follow your soul's whispers, • bravely opening up to love, • receiving messages from beyond, • tapping into your inner strength, • finding the beauty and wisdom in all of life, even in the difficult moments, • and so much more! My chapters are: “The Shift from Doubt to Possibility”, “Feeling and the Shift form Or to And”, and “Loving the Skin You’re In”. While the experiences of all of the contributing authors vary greatly, each of these moments transformed the authors and helped them shift in a positive way. These true stories (one page each - for quick inspiration!) were written with love and infused with the intention that you'll be able to discover the beauty in your own life shifts, too.
