I am still humming with awe at my entry into this auspicious year of 2012, and astonished by what can be accomplished by forgiveness--especially self-forgiveness--on this journey of remembering and re-assembling as light.

Recently I traveled to Lake Louise in the Canadian Rockies. I went to gather energies and experience the Archangel Michael vortex there for the dawn of the Lunar New Year. I was thrilled to be returning--it had been 28 years since my last visit to the Canadian Rockies, and I booked a room with a view of the lake in the beautiful Chateau.

Even before I travelled there I was craving silence. I'm not talking about quiet, I mean silence. Like "not talking, no sound, hours on end into days just being" kind of silence. I kept thinking about the character in "Eat, Pray, Love," who took a vow of silence and walked around with an I'M IN SILENCE name-tag on. I knew that I needed a deepening that was available in not talking not reading not engaging the mind or the voice, in letting go of the need to communicate things. So I let my friends and family know I would not be talking while I was there and I entered into a silent communion with myself in this sacred place.

What I hadn't anticipated was the intensity of the emotional release and spiritual clarification I would experience.

My first day there I felt the affinity with this place at this time--as the layers and layers of snow and the miles of gently touched mountains were vibrating with the feeling that was surfacing in me. The photo above is a photo I took while hiking around Lake Louise and back toward the glaciers on Mt. Victoria. I walked quietly and mostly alone, save for a few cross country skiers on the lake, for several hours, back into the forest behind the lake, past frozen waterfalls, and small spots where fresh water still ran, not frozen, and then I just stopped, standing in the stillness, merging with it all, letting go. http://expectwonderful.typepad.com/meredithmurphyblog/2012/01/luminous-being....
