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 and 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 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 is now golden sparkling light – vibrant in 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."

  • OK – It’s great to send inspiring quotes, poems, etc. but keeping with the idea we should laugh more I’m sending this link — I don’t know if it’s what you want in this exercise, but here goes

  • Caroline Sturgis Tappan

    Life
    Greatly to Be
    Is enough for me,
    Is enough for thee.

    Why for work art thou striving,
    Why seek’st thou for aught?
    To the soul that is living
    All things shall be brought.

    What thou art thou wilt do,
    And thy work will be true.

    But how can I Be
    Without labor or love?
    Life comes not to me
    As to calm gods above.
    Not only above
    May spirit be found,
    The sunshine of love
    Streams all around.

    The sun does not say,
    “I will not shine
    Unless every ray
    Falls on planet divine.”

    He shines upon dust
    Upon things mean and low,
    His own inward thought
    Maketh him glow.

  • Some Keep the Sabbath Going to Church
    Emily Dickinson

    Some keep the Sabbath going to church
    I keep it staying at home
    With a bobolink for a chorister
    And an orchard for a dome.

    Some keep the Sabbath in surplice
    I just wear my wings
    And instead of tolling the bell for church
    Our little sexton sings.

    God preaches – a noted clergyman -
    And the sermon is never long
    So instead of getting to heaven at last
    I’m going all along.

  • In Her love and beauty you become a silence,
    In Her arms you happy like a child again…
    Every moment is like touching nectar which is secret…
    You are feeling love which is unknown…
    So much faces are dying…you are disappearing…
    In this ecstasy all life become alive…
    Like a thousand suns…such a joy and beauty…
    And in Her embrace light is born again…

    By Rasa from poem ,,For Divine”

  • The heart surrenders everything to the moment. The mind judges and holds back.
    In most of our human relationships, we spend much of our time reassuring one another that our costumes of identity are on straight.
    When we see the Beloved in each person, it’s like walking through a garden, watching flowers bloom all around us.
    Ram Dass
