The light of Source lies in the space between our thoughts. When we can take time for stillness, we find flow within the peace that is there. It’s hard to put words to describe this, as you know… it’s more of a feeling. 

This short Connecting with Source meditation will help you feel that light within yourself and the awareness that it’s all around, in every snowflake (sacred geometry), in the ripples of water (vibrations), in shells (Fibonacci’s spiral).

The more we take the time to tap into the energy and light of Source/Creator/God, the more that feeling of oneness and flow will permeate what we do, think, say, be. And it will help shift the energy around us and other people too. 

Little by little. We are learning (remembering, really) to be this light.
