And so we begin... as I Sophia come in on this day of stillness, on this day of safety for each one of you. We are gathering in this space which constantly changes, which constantly transforms, which again and again takes on a new look, which again and again takes on a new color, a new sound, which is new in each moment. A space in which each new moment is ready to hold you, to be there for you. We meet on this earth, this great place within the universe, for the purpose of holding you, for the purpose of giving you a space in which to create your experiences. And today we allow the energy of our shared meeting to flow in a new way. Today it isn’t just one sound that we allow to flow in this space, but many different sounds that come together and flow in this space. The feminine energy is awakening, the feminine energy is returning, returning into this now, awakening within you.
And in the same way it is finding a new awakening on the earth. Everywhere on the earth, on different continents, in different countries and cities, an awakening is taking place, an awakening all around the earth. An awakening all around the earth. And I, Sophia am not the only part of this awakening. The feminine energy has so many faces, so many voices, so many sounds, and all over the earth it begins awakening, its sound begins to be heard. Can you imagine a band of awakening stretching all around the earth, a band which on this very day comes full circle, a full circle which closes just today, on this very day. All around the earth the feminine energy is present again, is shining in its own unique way. And we take this moment to feel this. We invite each one of you to perceive this, to feel this. It is a subtle, gentle beginning. It is the beginning of a new balance, the beginning of a new peace and of a new blossoming for this earth. And this blossoming begins with the awakening of the feminine energy both within you and all around the earth. There are humans who bring the feminine energy back onto this earth, who allow this awakening to happen. There are other humans who watch and observe this awakening. And there are other humans who are curious and who feel and even receive the love in this awakening. And all these humans on this earth, around the globe, allow this wonder to happen, in their lives, each in their own way, being part of this wonder, being part of this re-awakening of the feminine energy. This band of feminine energy resembles a wonderful space, a bowl which embraces and carries the earth. For you see, in the past when the feminine energy had receded, receded far back, when there was such a great distance between the earth and the feminine energy, the earth was on its own. Nature, the animals, and even the humans on this earth were on their own. They were alone, without a home, without safety, without this deep inner support. Without trust, without knowing where their way would lead them. And little by little, while the feminine energy is awakening, earth is gently laying down, sinking down into this bowl, down into the safety of the feminine energy. The whole purpose of the feminine energy is to hold and to carry, just like a bowl whose whole purpose is to hold fruit. It is here in order to provide support, to provide safety. And perhaps you would like to feel within your own body what a difference it makes if you allow yourself to be held compared to how it feels when you have walked on your own, feeling that you must supply this support, this strength on your own. When we have the feeling of being all on our own, when we miss this support, this safety of the feminine energy, our muscles start tensing up, our breath starts to become shallow and constrained, we start blocking our creative energy, we start feeling fear, fear. Fear is nothing more than when feminine energy is missing. Fear is nothing more than the emptiness that remains when feminine energy is missing in your body, missing in your life, missing on earth. And it was a great experience that you could create, that the whole of humanity could create: What lies beyond feminine energy? What happens if the sun goes down? What happens if an ocean goes dry and a desert comes into being? What happens if there is flooding - or an earthquake? What happens if the earth gets out of balance? Your soul has come to this earth in order to feel, in order to experience, in order to touch, in order to sense: How does it feel if the sun goes down? What kind of feeling is this? You are here in this body in order to create this experience, in order to breathe, to feel and to perceive this experience. And at the end of this experience, at the end of this journey, there is a moment in which we return to balance, in which we return home, in which we find a new balance with all of the wisdom, with all of the experiences that we created. If you draw a circle on a sheet of paper, you position the pencil and you draw outward, your pencil seeking on this paper, seeking a way so far out, as far out as it can possibly go - so far out that you can hardly stretch your arm any more, and then - all by itself, this line will find its way back, its way back to the starting point, as it returns from its journey, as it closes this circle. This doesn’t mean that we return to the same point. If you take a journey, if you travel around the world, and after one month or after one year or after a number of years you return to your apartment, to your house, to the city where you used to live, you will notice: You don't arrive at the same place. And still the experience closes, the circle closes, this adventure closes, and yields space for a new experience, for a new adventure, for a new discovery. And so, in this special time that we are living in right now, one adventure within you comes to an end, to a conclusion, finding its perfection. The experience becomes perfect. It closes, it is complete. The experience to leave behind the feminine energy and to set off into loneliness as far as possible, and then to experience that something within you saying: Come, let's go back home! Come, it is time, time to go back home. Just as breathing in and then breathing out belong together, so the setting off for a new adventure and then returning back home to yourself belong together. They belong together. They are two parts of one experience. It is this circle within you which now wants to close. And we are gathering today in order to feel what is becoming visible and perceptible on this earth for you. We begin to observe that earth is on its way back. Back home, back into the arms of the Goddess, who from the beginning of time has been holding and carrying the earth. The earth is returning back into the arms of its Mother, back into the arms of love and safety, and you can notice that on earth this causes changes, that on earth this leads to tensions resolving. Tensions that have been slumbering under the surface of the earth for so very long now wish to be released. The earth now wishes to release all the things, all the ways that were so complicated and characterized by fear. The earth now wishes to let go. And the earth now wishes to move into a soft, gentle, flowing love. And this earth invites you: Come, come with me! Just as I let myself sink into the arms of the Goddess, so can you let yourself sink into this support, into this safety within you. It is a new part of our shared journey, a new chapter in this adventure which you are now writing. And you are invited to feel: There will come a moment on your journey when you will allow yourself to return home. And it’s not the return home which your mind suggests to you, and it’s not the return home which your masculine energy inside suggests to you, but it’s the return home which is allowed to happen deep, deep within you. It’s not a thing that you must do. Or a thing that you must struggle towards or seek out. But it is the deep sinking within yourself, giving yourself permission to feel again that there is something which holds you. Something that is so infinitely loving, so infinitely still and patient, something that invites you to come back home and rest at last. Something that invites you to let go of the tension in your body, the tension in your feelings. Something that invites you to simply melt, to simply flow. Something that invites you to feel a deeper comfort than ever before. You may be able to hear the earth sighing, and even giggling, earth itself which dares to precede you, earth itself which dares to let itself sink into the safety of the feminine energy. Earth itself which dares to return home. Which dares to return home because in all its wisdom it feels that it is indeed time to return home. And there is a part within you which feels that it is indeed time to return home. And this part within you has become more audible over the last months, perhaps even over the last years. While you’re experiencing fear, while you’re again and again judging yourself, while you’re on your journey, there is this voice within you saying: Come home! Come home into the center of you. Allow yourself to sink into your belly and be held by me. Be held by this safety that you’ve been longing for your whole life long. And I, Sophia invite you, those of you, who feel “Yes it is time, it is time to leave fear behind and to return to safety”, those of you who are ready for a new sunrise in your life, those of you who are ready to close this circle – you are invited to sink deep into yourself, to observe how it feels to come home. And perhaps to observe how your mind objects and revolts. How your mind tries everything to remain alone, to remain in fear. Because your mind never seems as loud and as powerful as when you are in fear. And your mind never melts, becoming so soft, so tender and quiet, as when you let yourself sink into the safety of the feminine energy. This is the moment your body is waiting for, this is the moment all of the parts, all of the soul aspects within you are hoping and waiting for. This is the moment the earth has been waiting for, humanity is waiting for - when the first group of wonderful angels is ready to return to this safety. Into this being. Into this oasis within you. And deep within you your oasis is waiting for you. It is waiting for you to come home. Your oasis is waiting for you to come and rest in its shade. To drink clear water, to breathe sweet air, to eat fresh fruit, to return to the oasis within yourself. And it is that easy, so infinitely easy. You can let yourself sink into yourself, you can become soft as the earth is becoming soft. You can surrender and let go. You can allow yourself to feel this love which is waiting for you at home. This love which is waiting for you, this love which calls you by your name and invites you to come home. And returning home does not require any force, does not require any struggle. You can allow yourself to flow, allow yourself to melt, and observe: Your home is calling you, your home embraces and carries you so safely. And today, here in this special space, we allow this sinking deep within you to happen. Some of you may notice: Oh, I am feeling so heavy, I am sinking so deep, my mind doesn't work any more, I feel like the trunk of a tree rooted in soil, or like a clump of clay, so heavy and so still. And there are parts within you that may be screaming out, saying: Watch out! Don't be too trusting! Don't be lured into this safety, don't be fooled into thinking that it could be that easy. If you wish – simply allow these parts to be there. They have served you well for so long. They have preserved and protected you the best way that they could. And now the moment has come when you don't need these parts any more. You don't need these parts that warn you, that scare you, that make you doubt yourself any more. You don't need them any more. You can let them sink right into the safety, right into yourself. The earth on which you live also knows this. There are energies that the earth is still holding that are so frightened, so scared of this new safety, of this new support that the earth is slowly receiving. There are regions that are rearing, there are energies that are screaming: Be careful! Watch out! We must stay in fear. We must stay oppressed. We must continue struggling. We have to keep believing what our mind is telling us. And the earth in its great wisdom allows these parts to scream out, thrashing and flailing. It allows these parts to be scared. It allows these parts to be exactly the way that they happen to be right now. Earth's loving breath is touching these fearful parts, is touching these alarmed and panicking parts within. The loving breath of the feminine energy is touching these parts and assisting them to feel, assisting them to feel how very loving this safety really is. How many of you are scared of depth? Are scared when swimming in a lake, scared of the depth in this lake? Scared when inside a cave, scared of the depth in the earth? Scared when on the top of a high building, scared of the depth waiting for you below? And are scared of the depth within your own body, of your hips, of your belly? Your fear has told you for so long that in the depth there is something evil, something dangerous. Your fear has distorted the message of the feminine energy, your fear has demonized the message of the feminine energy and made it into a dark monster. A dark monster that only wishes to drag you into the depth and devour you. And we are addressing this fear very deliberately today. For many of you are already allowing yourselves to sink into the feminine energy, many of you are ready to feel this safety, this love again. And all that is standing between you and this safety, all that keeps you from trusting this safety is the image, the idea created by your fear. The idea of a monster that is waiting for you in the center, the idea of a bottomless depth that you will fall into. How many of you have nightmares in which you are scared, in which you are scared to fall, in which you are scared to sink into the depth as there is nothing to hold and carry you? This fear served as a place holder, this fear filled the void, the distance between you and your own safety. The existential fear, the fear of survival, the fear of depth, the fear of destruction, stood between you and the feminine energy - which is nothing but a source of love within yourself. And I, Sophia have invited each one of you into this space, so that together we can contemplate these images of fear, so that together we can see how fear has distorted what in itself is so loving and so natural. Fear has planted an idea within you, fear has given you an image, and today, on this day, in this moment, in this wonderful and loving space I invite you: Do you wish to set aside these ideas? Do you wish to just let this fearful image be and observe: What lies beyond this fear? How does it really feel to sink into my body? How does it really feel if the earth slowly sinks into the arms of this loving energy? How does it really feel if I allow myself to return home, if I allow myself to rest? What’s really my experience? Can you just let this fearful image be? And observe: How does it really feel? Your fear is nothing other than a very sophisticated stop sign. Stop! Don't go! Stop! Don't trust! Stop! Don't be held! Don't feel safe! Don't allow yourself to return home! And what happens if you let this stop sign stand there on the side of the street, and slowly and gently experience what happens if you let yourself sink into the arms of this loving energy? What happens if you let yourself sink deeply into your seat? And allow your seat to hold you? What happens if you allow earth to hold you? And what happens if earth then allows this loving Goddess to hold it? What really happens, beyond fear, beyond the nightmares, what really happens? What really happens? Fear can only show you the most terrible image; fear can only hold you back. It has nothing more to give you. This loving voice within you, this safety within you, this rich and soft breath flowing through your body has infinitely so much more to give you. Do you want to stay in the waiting room? Do you want to believe your fear? Or do you want to experience? Do you want to be like a child that keeps dancing and playing right past this inner stop sign? A child that feels: There’s nothing really scary. There’s nothing really mean, nothing really bad. There’s only this love within me, this safety that I am allowing myself to feel again. That I’ve missed for so long. And now the time has come to return home. The time has come to let this love flow again. To receive this safety again. This is the second, important step on our shared path: Safety, support, security. Many of you are surprised and ask why it is that safety has never become more than just a word. A word that doesn't seem to have an impact. A word that you cannot feel. I, Sophia invite you to experience safety. To experience security. To be held again by that part within you that exists only in order to hold you. That part within you that holds the world in her arms. That part within you that holds you in her arms. That part that holds our meeting on this day in her arms. It is time to be held again, it is time to rest in the arms of the feminine energy, to become still. And you are now invited to feel: How far do you want to go? How safe do you want to be? How deep do you want to let yourself sink into this safety? Yeshua who assists with our meeting, sharing and supporting, can tell you from his own experience: The deeper you let yourself sink into this safety, the safer you allow yourself to be, the more mountains you will be able to move. The more miracles will happen in your life. Many humans who met Yeshua were surprised, and many humans who meet Yeshua today are surprised and ask: How can you trust that much? How can you be that sure that a human who is deathly ill in one moment can be restored to health in the next? How can you be that sure that you can even walk on water? How can you go past every stop sign? How can you be that sure that even dying isn’t bad? How can you be that sure that you are a child of God? How can you be that sure that God really loves you? How can you know? How can you embody it and live it? And Yeshua will share with you and invite you: Let yourself sink, breath by breath, into the arms of your soul, into the safety from which you were born, let yourself sink into something greater than yourself. Let yourself sink into the greatest love, the greatest safety. And you too will feel and experience that you are a child of God. The child of your soul, the child that you were always meant to be. And so we allow ourselves to come full circle, to the close of our meeting on this day. You are invited to breathe in as much of the energy that we have been sharing with you as you wish, as much as is appropriate for you. And you are always invited to make your own choice of how far you want to go along with us on this path. And so we begin together...
