Standing Up for Love

February 26, 2024

How is your heart today? Take a breath and check in. Let’s do this together.

It’s already been quite a day of essential review for me, but mindfulness is important self-care for us these days. A bit like breathing open our Gratitude Journal, my consciousness seeks light. Crack the binding open. Let’s do this together in this moment.

The storms have stopped. The sky is blue. I have a roof over my head and healthy food to be assembled for meals for many days. The simple comforts of a warm bed, clean water, and mushroom coffee nourish me, and I can walk out of my snug little home and walk safely on tree-lined paths filled with friendly, engaging people and happy dogs. Even the blossoms have popped on the plum trees in the sweetest pink. Blue is healing well from his second surgery in six months. My family is healthy. My siblings are brilliant, not only in mind but in their kind and generous spirits. My 95-year-old mother is doing life as best she can while continuing to be mystified she is still here. Every day, she conspires about how she can give a gift to either the squirrels playing outside her window or a family member. Her vision is declining, but her heart just keeps growing bigger.

I am my mother’s daughter. Not all are so blessed as I am on this planet, but this doesn’t make me gloat. I am grateful to be alive. I live simply. I am forever compelled to keep learning. I ask, read and listen. I assess my sources carefully. I go deep and discern what is, what pretends to be, and what can be. And what has been happening in parts of our country makes my mama heart ache to help. Empathy pulses, and maybe, like you, I wonder how I can do more. How can I bring more comfort, health, and loving support to those who need it? Shall we do this together?

My prayers fly to all begging for balance or who are feeling worried, sad, angry, or frightened. My prayers fly to those who advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion. I hold their protection and clarity of soul purpose in my vision. My prayers fly to those who stand up for a fair, just, and democratic society that embraces our differences as multifaceted, rainbowed souls under one sky—all loved and created equally to thrive and prosper in health and happiness. 

Over and over, I repeat, when I dance, I dance for the best and highest good of one and all, individually and collectively. It’s not my will, but the capital “T” Thine that creates the outcome. It’s the divine dance between Creator/Source Energy and the higher self or soul of each who joins to see the fullest, sweetest potential of mindful, heartful, sacred expansion to who we each truly are. I am a simple dancing handshake to help bridge and empower your latent gifts. Together, we unbolt doors and windows of trust. You are far more beloved and powerful in this union of love threshold and every subsequent movement of love than you may have even realized in your former exhalation. (Yes, I invite you to take three deep breaths again.)

In this breath and always, I hope that you will join your prayers with mine for any being (yourself included) who is actively or passively being marginalized by bullying (by yourself or others)—be it through words, actions, or political agendas. May we all stand up for light, love, kindness, and truth. May we stop all war games and grow through happier play into the love we came here to experience. As children of G*d/G*ddess/Prime Creator/Source Energy, we have sacred dominion over our bodies and emotions, as do others having dominion over their own bodies, their own choices for their bodies, and their actions in a fair, just, and democratic society. Thank you and bless you for standing up for others here and always.

Let’s be reminders for one another: we are here for Love. Let your inside voice find your outside action for Goodness’ sake. Be brave with your love and attention. It’s more than a simple hug the world needs. It’s you also stepping more courageously into the fullness of your gifts. 

I know the world is whirling. The stars are twirling. The tides are rising. Tonight’s moon is full and ripe for your heart’s desire and your most impactful learning yet. This can be far more joyous than you suspect or even what these words seem to be waxing. We can do this hand in hand or through the arc of our hearts, but the blessings are flowing for all the sweetness and health we can co-create on and off this magical, miraculous planet of plentitude. 

For example, here are two experiences from two at our last Quanta Circle two weekends ago:

“Jane said for us to stand in our gifts, and this was when she was taking slivers out of our hearts, maybe to sew new quilts. And the weaving image I had earlier was brought back in, like, ohhhh, I see what is being woven, the material that is being used. I do not do this alone; there is a group here; we can remove these slivers from our hearts and quilt something new filled with love and light… Thank you, Jane, for an incredible three days.”

“I feel so much love run right through me, it made me gasp. I am full of gratitude for the miraculous visions and gifts that came forward for me. I always enter each Quanta with an open mind and heart. My heart was cracked open even wider, allowing the overflow of love that was coming in to stay. Each day is different, but with a common thread weaving all three days together. There was so much looping that occurred, and on the third day, it was wrapped up with a beautiful RAINBOW bow.  

Mahalo nui loa”

Our next Quanta Circle, the weekend after our Spring Equinox Goddess Retreat, in less than a month, will be just three evenings for those in the States who’d like to have their Easter weekend free. Rise with us again for love.

Would you like to dive into the spring bliss and blessings for our Spring Equinox Goddess Gathering and Retreat in North Carolina? You are invited! Join us as we scatter wildflower seeds and intentions for a new season of abundant love in life. Dance at the bonfire of beauty and commune over healthy, thoughtfully prepared food with some of the most glorious, heartfelt dancers in our community. I’ll be offering a variety of circles each day as well as in-person private sessions. And more, we can learn from and share with our dear facilitator Shar, and the tribe, the wisdom of this ripe, rich time as wise women awakening to the luscious gifts in mindful, moving meditation on Mama Earth. We have plenty of off-site lodging for your ease, just 15 minutes away, so bring a girlfriend or four and join us.

Moreover, a couple of our friend’s schedules have changed, and they can no longer attend our Magical Isles Retreat in Scotland and Ireland, so we have a few spots left if you would like to travel with me for ten days in May. Those who have signed up already are some of our equally treasured souls in our Dancing Hands Circles with gifts of vision, healing, and stellar humor, so we will have a fabulous time. If you’ve not yet read about the mystical trails we are traversing with Lynda Lowe in Scotland and Violet Grace in Ireland, please do! I’m being called back to explore ancestral roots that are far beyond my own genealogy report and after all we have been seeing and hearing since the passing of our dear Pulamawai, it’s sure to be flush with wonder and bliss. Some of you have heard me say, I am so excited about this trip I keep pinching myself!

Remember, we still have our gorgeous journey to Peru and Ecuador awaiting us in the fall, too, so please let me know if you’re hoping to join us there. Write to us at hello@janesibbett.com if you have any questions. All these journeys are connected so it will be something remarkably special to see how we play with the energies that are singing through the Pura Vida daily.

Life is beautiful. I am forever grateful for this wondrous community and I send you all only the best wishes for a happy and restorative weekend and beyond.

 Until the next time…

Blessings, Love, and Blue Skies,

The Gentle Path

Dear Friends, I couldn’t start fresh. The jumble jar of details was essential, it seems. If I can’t be clear about this time, and I can’t even find words to speak outside my family right now, let the context stand: when I again say life has been life-ing, it means in...
