Pashmina Earlobes

by Suzanne B. Stryker

I paint in various styles from abstract to imaginary landscapes. This page shows a few of my seascapes. You can see more here.

 

My Experience

I am the texture of raw silk 
the coarseness of this California bedspread 
the softness of Pashmina earlobes 
the friendly ocean breeze whispering good morning.

I am the droning boats purring by
the children's screams of discovery
the gargling fountain splashing sounds. 

I am the opening and closing of squeaking gates
the slamming of hotel doors
the rushing helicopter chopping space. 

I am the warmth of the sunshine and its lack
I see beyond these three walls
far beyond these objects
palm tree paintings and chocolate furniture
melt into Me. 

I hear the depth of the sounds delivered to these ears
they originate and vibrate in Me.
I am left with an infectious friendliness
pervasive peacefulness
unwound from the thoughts of my mind.
 


Experiment

Try an experiment. Stop what you're doing right now and listen. Notice all the sounds that you can hear. If you like, write them down in a journal. 

What am I hearing right now? I hear a car whooshing down the road. A dog talking about the car whooshing down the road. The furnace fuming. The refrigerator gurgling. The fly buzzing against the window pane. I hear the sounds of my breathing. I notice the subtle sounds of my thoughts. I sense silence underneath it all. I detect a playfulness in the quietness. I laugh. I hear the cosmic hum of the universe. I feel connected to everything and everyone with sweet love.

Being aware of what is going on, both in and around you, has many benefits. It helps connect you to all levels of your being: physically, emotionally, intellectually, spiritually.... This is integrating, balancing and healing. In this state of openness, you are more likely to receive insights and practical information which contribute to making the right choices. Also being aware connects you to the present moment which can be more powerful and blissful than the past or the future. Think of other benefits and write them down in your journal. 

Try another experiment. Next time you drive somewhere familiar, have your phone and the radio off. Next time you do a mundane task like washing the dishes, do it in silence. If you are used to a lot of external stimulation, initially you might not like doing this. Be patient and try it for a little while and then reevaluate. If you feel calmer or are sleeping better, consider having more quiet time, especially in the hour before you go to bed.

Feel free to share your thoughts and experiences in the comment section at the bottom of this page.

 

What Your Friends Are Saying

Jim Rocca 
"My experience in yesterday’s Phone Session with Suzanne during the silent healing time went something like this:

"Layer upon layer of unfoldment within light. At some point, energy came up from the earth, up through the chakras, which were bathed in light, but each clear chakra was a bubble. The energy rose through them, rendering an inaudible tone for each. The sequence continued––energy from earth, through each chakra, delivering a silent tone. The pace continued to accelerate and then there was just a rush of that energy flowing unobstructed through the chakras and up and out of the top of my head to the environment. The whole internal subtle body was awake with white light, flowing light from earth to heaven. Today, during my Transcendental Meditation program, that white light flow became golden sparkling light, vibrant within itself."
Jim Rocca
 
"No matter what your concerns, no matter what you are trying to solve, no matter what you are trying to accomplish, Suzanne is a precious resource.  When seeking an advisor or healer, the key ingredient to look for is Wisdom.  Without Wisdom, techniques and intellect are of little value.  The light that shines through Suzanne is golden, it is the golden light of true Wisdom.  On that you can rely.  And Suzanne is practical.  She brings that light of Wisdom right down to earth for those she speaks with.  I hope you have the chance to bask in that light with her sometime soon, and let your troubles be healed."  
Erik Thompson
 
"I had first requested a Distance Healing a couple of months ago for some emotional issues that my son had been struggling with. He has experienced some relief and has begun reaching out for help on his own. Since that time, I have felt that we are connected. Sometimes thoughts of you come to me and I feel your energy and I notice that is one of your scheduled healing times; there is trust. During those times I just relax and allow the sensation of shifting and radiating energy, as it occurs. I feel I have an active role in my own healing and the healing of all beings, the planet, and beyond.

"Please know, this message comes unassumingly with all humility to The Divine, from The Divine, Herself."

"My health was deteriorating rapidly and Suzanne helped turn that around. I think she saved my life."

  • Luv Flower

    There there seed within
    awakened from the long dream
    claiming life anew

    Grow free to create
    a pure luv flower
    bud inside of me

    Nurtured by Divine gratitude,
    reflection, self-acceptance,
    choice, and expression

    Petals opening
    blossoming a finer life
    all one bloom are we

    Radiating out
    naturally attracting
    all my heart’s desire

    My self luv flowers
    my eternal heartbeats
    Luvful I am free.

  • Quotes from The songs of Kabir:

    Held by the cords of love, the swing of the Ocean of Joy sways to and fro; and a mighty sound breaks forth in song.

    See what a lotus blooms there without water! and Kabîr says
    “My heart’s bee drinks its nectar.”

    (Song II. 24 – XII)

    WHERE is the need of words, when love has made drunken the heart?
    I have wrapped the diamond in my cloak; why open it again and again?
    When its load was light, the pan of the balance went up: now it is full, where is the need for weighing?
    The swan has taken its flight to the lake beyond the mountains; why should it search for the pools and ditches any more?
    Your Lord dwells within you: why need your outward eyes be opened?
    Kabîr says: “Listen, my brother! my Lord, who ravishes my eyes, has united Himself with me.”

    (Song II. 105 – XXXIII)

    THE flute of the Infinite is played without ceasing, and its sound is love:
    When love renounces all limits, it reaches truth.
    How widely the fragrance spreads! It has no end, nothing stands in its way.
    The form of this melody is bright like a million suns: incomparably sounds the vina, the vina of the notes of truth.

    (Song I. 126 – L)
