From a Spark to a Wave

Transformation From A Word Shared

Writers are good storytellers … and if we had a dollar for every story we told ourselves that kept us from writing, we’d be billionaires.

Instead, we place our value on those stories and spend hour after hour, week after week carrying the desire to write, and pushing it down with fear: Is my writing any good? Is it worth my time? Am I getting it right? We take courses and programs, read books about writing and join groups to discuss writing. Meanwhile, the desire churns, and our pages stay blank.

There is no replacement or workaround for just doing it: for simply sitting down, writing something, and sharing it. There is no power in the world like it. Think your writing doesn’t matter? I beg to differ. Here’s why.

Words are energy into physical form. Your words are sparks from the energy that is you, your unique vibration into the wider world. That vibration has impact in more ways than one.

Case in point: yesterday I had the privilege of witnessing massive transformation – and being transformed – because one woman wrote and shared her truth on her blog. This inspired another woman to finally set up that blog she’s been longing for, write, and hit publish. Then another woman wrote her story and shared it. Then another let out the words she had been holding back and made them public. In the span of a few hours, sparks flew and danced into waves of fire that lit up the universe and transformed everything in its path. One word, like a drop in a molten ocean, its effects spreading and multiplying, inviting all who would join, whether in writing or in intention. For words as energy flow in many directions and when mindfully shared, transform both writer and reader. Words written solo then offered up for reading become a shared playground. There is the power of the content, the resonance of a story and word choice. There is the power of intention from the writer. There is the power of invitation within the reader who opens to Be-Do-Have for their own journey from the energy felt in what they have read.  There is the power for those in the awarenesses and lives of those engaged, not writing themselves but feeling the difference in energy and actions. And there is the power landing on everyone and everything, aware and unaware, yet like the proverbial tree in the isolated forest, still descending with a bang.

I felt the waves from yesterday’s rapid-fire emergences long before I knew the content, and I chose to stay in my own conversation to own all that was moving, and not.   I even created a brilliant metaphor for my resistance. Overnight the water lines froze to my kitchen sink, as did the cold water line to my shower. Flow frozen, specific and insistent. In a hurry, I filled my kettle from the bathroom sink for morning coffee and then took a blistering hot shower … more like brief blasts of water until my skin was about to peel, then turning it off and letting it cool before repeating until I could get a decent amount of soap rinsed off. Stop and start. Hot and cold. And, in the absence of attention, no change or movement within. Temperature rose outside,  no effect inside until  I paused, noticed, and chose to engage. After mindfully directing some warm air at a few key spots, my water flow returned in minutes. How often have I withheld my fire from my writing, frozen my ideas in place with stories or distraction? There was a whole playground of enquiry for me, without even reading the messages lighting up my phone.

Flash forward 24 hours. I share my playground here, and the waves continue to move in my world within and my world out there. The words of these courageous women  who shared their words will continue to invite and awaken others, and their own transformations as well as mine continue to move through us and into the world we all share. The spark that began in a mindfully chosen community was not a ‘writers’ group’ or a program: it was a collective of women in a safe space journeying for their own evolution, exploring through a body of knowledge that reframed their safety from external to internal  and awakened them to who they are and are choosing to be. Writing in yesterday’s pivotal moment was a perfect means of expression from one person, through their being, and into the world – doing – and opening them to have more of themselves, while inviting everyone else to engage and journey as is meaningful for them.

A billion dollars cannot buy the experience of yesterday, or purchase the power of individual and collective transformation. Only awareness and choice can do that, something we all have … when we know and own that all we are and all we have in this moment is enough, is worth it, and is awesome … and that there is always more …

So, back to your writing and how you hold it in your life … is it any good, is it worth the time, will anyone read it, will I do it right? Consider answering your own questions with a fresh approach: trusting you as a divine being of energy in a body for the human experience, here to create and have an impact on the wider world. There is no right or wrong, only your unique vibration, your voice, your choice. It is not easy to choose to be seen in a world that teaches us safety lies in being quiet and ‘behind the scenes.’ The fact you want to write is a sign that it’s time to change the narrative, for you and from you.

Feel like something is missing? For me, the missing piece was … and still is … myself, when I forget who I am as a divine creator, and slip into the pattern of trained body. The process leading me to remember and reclaim myself is contained in the WEL-Systems ®  body of knowledge. When I first encountered this body of knowledge, I had the inkling that there would be a benefit to my writing as well as my life. When I chose to journey through the body of knowledge, and allow it to evolve through me, the connections and choice points became clear, layer by layer, moment by moment.

And it remains a continuous process, evolving through writing, for writing, from writing … allowing my writing to become me and my guide, a trusted part of me rather than simply a tool for hire and a means of income. That evolution began because I chose to share, and continues as I keep choosing to share, trusting the terror I feel at ‘getting it wrong’ and the resistance I feel at putting myself out there for others to comment on, disagree with, or ignore are patterns of safety from the past, a world that no longer holds any power for me or over me. I know there is impact for me in what I write. I share freely to see what happens, what’s next, to have whatever comes.

  1. Today I’m reminded of the power of contagion of an awakened collective! That one woman CHOOSES to intentionally engage her voice sends ripples of waves through the entire ecosystem and the awakening cannot be contained. That’s why I called this process yesterday “women’s voices, unleashed” — thinking of you, too. It was one of the best days of my life, I have to say …
