Navigating the Darkness: Embracing the Inward Journey of Faith and Prayer 17:36

11 weeks ago17:36

17:36

It's the eve of the Feast of Our Lady and the beginning of our Novena - our 9-day walk together in contemplation as we access our insight and cultivate our Wise Heart, the organ of spiritual perception, and learn to see more clearly seeing things that are physically invisible to the senses alone or the rational and intuitive mind seeing a fuller picture, aligning with the depth dimension of life exploring our “faith.” “Faith” is the mysterious way of seeing in the dark because the heart, like a little homing beacon, can align with what is not only a golden, invisible thread running through this whole mess but your personal golden, invisible thread. forging your way forward on the path that you are being drawn along, learning to listen to your heart like a set of GPS instructions always rerouting you to your true north, merry merry beloveds Key themes include redefining faith beyond traditional religious practices, understanding prayer as a space for inner listening, and embracing the transformation from darkness to light. I encourage you to hold compassionate space for yourself, set personal intentions, and appreciate the beauty in transitioning from darkness to light. 00:00 Introduction to the Inward Journey 00:21 Embracing Sacred Presence 01:09 The Role of Humor and Lightness 02:13 Creating a Sacred Space 04:46 Exploring Faith and Prayer 08:27 The Power of Light in Darkness 14:00 Setting Intentions and Inviting Ancestors 15:36 The Creative Power of Intentions 17:09 Conclusion and Gratitude *In this audio, I mention my interview on the Simple Daily Practice Podcast, where I discuss my practice around darkness.

Learning to See in the Dark 20:25

You may think it’s your light that gives you power. When actually it’s your ability to see in the dark I’m offering a Novena this season to help us Embrace the Light in the Darkness The Novena* begins on the Feast of Our Lady and ends the day before Winter Solstice Enter your email in the form linked below to subscribe to the daily emails. https://drvivicarrasco.kit.com/novena COVID-19 and Creative Struggles The past few years have been transformative. COVID-19 hit hard, leaving us all with memories and experiences that are now etched into our lives. Some of these moments are blessings, while others are tinged with pain and loss. Yet, they all contribute to the polishing of our spirits. For over a decade, I’ve nurtured my creative spirit, struggling and learning as I go. Creative pursuits have varied from wrapping rocks to weaving and even working with clay. These activities ground me, offering spiritual fulfillment and teaching me to honor the whispers of intuition that call me to create and express. The Push for Healing and Space Life’s relentless push can often lead to burnout, but I’ve realized the importance of creating space for myself. This journey of healing and nourishing led me to a deeper understanding of life’s cycles—the daily, weekly, and seasonal rhythms that shape us. By embracing healing, I’ve found inspiration that comes only when I’m willing to sit and do the work. Guidance from Within This stage of life, with its own set of health challenges, has brought another opportunity for growth. There are whispers that guide me, echoes of a divine message received long ago: to learn to love being human. This journey has taught me acceptance and the courage to speak my truth in a world that values conformity. Intimate Connections and Invitations Over the years, I’ve touched many hearts, yet I’ve drawn inward, seeking intimacy in smaller circles. These experiences have nourished my soul, allowing me to connect with those around me in meaningful ways. Now, a new whisper calls me to guide an experience—Advent by Candlelight. This invitation is open to all who feel drawn to explore the mysteries of life through this intimate journey. Creating Advent by Candlelight The process of creating Advent by Candlelight is mysterious, yet it’s rooted in the simple act of learning to see in the dark. This experience encourages us to adjust our eyes to the light, guided by the purity of candlelight over time. As details of this event unfold, I invite you to join me in this exploration. If you feel connected to this idea or know someone who might resonate with it, extend the invitation. Together, we can embark on this journey of inner reflection, allowing inspiration and truth to bubble up from within. The Magic of Uncertainty Life’s most magical moments often stem from its mysteries. In embracing uncertainty, we open ourselves to grace and light. I’ve recently found inspiration in Barbara Brown Taylor’s book, “Learning to Walk in the Dark,” which beautifully encapsulates these themes. As we journey through this advent season together, let us learn to see the brightness that transcends sight. Let us travel by candlelight, embracing the wisdom and grace that accompany us in the dark. Love all ways, Vivi PS Because of the magic of technology, it’s never too late to accept the invitation – the emails are in an evergreen sequence, waiting for you and when you’re ready – lovely that it’s never too late and you’re always right on time, isn’t it? 🙂 *Novena is based on the nine days of prayer Jesus asked the apostles to do before Pentecost *this Novena is one Our Lady has been asking me to do – I pray the experience nourishes both our spirits…
