Centaury - I Heal Myself - Boundaries of Love
Dr. Bach tells us that Centaury is indicated when the person is showing signs of being weak-willed and subservient – ‘doormats”. They are often tied to a domineering person, to whom they find it impossible to say no. They deny their own wishes in order to avoid confrontation. Eager to do what is ‘right’ they are easily influenced by other people and society demands.
Meditation with the Deva of Centaury
The Flower this week is Centaury. I Heal Myself - Boundaries of Love.
Most of us have grown up in a world where we have not been taught to honor ourselves. We are taught that it is good to be kind, to be thoughtful, to be compassionate, considerate, loving. The focus of all these virtues that we are taught to aspire to is for the benefit of others. Little children are told to "say you are sorry", 'say thank you". Little girls especially are taught to be 'helping angels'. All of these things are good, and yet, they have very little value if we are not taking care of ourselves in the very ways we have been taught to look out for others.
The Deva of Centuary says: "Imagine if you had been brought up on a daily basis to hearing such Truths as;
You are a Divine Being - your first responsibility is to yourself. Treat yourself daily as the precious Being that you are. Cleanse your body, mind and feeling body. Feed yourself food that not only nourishes the Body but also the Soul. House and cloth yourself with great care. Create all the external details of your life to support your Soul and to assist You in being here."
We hear so much about boundaries. Most of us have moved to a place of understanding that the only boundaries that truly work are boundaries of Love. There is a wonderful quote from Glenda Green that says 'love is self organizing'. Yeshua has said the three top virtues are Faith, Hope and Love - and the Greatest of these is LOVE.
I believe Love to be the greatest force, power in the Universe. Divine Love must be clear and active in ourselves before we can truly love another. What we are to ourselves we attract. Those in our lives reflect very clearly to us our own understanding of Love.
The Deva of Centaury clearly communicated to me that all we have to do is to BE LOVE. We have been taught that Love gives - unconditionally. What I would say now is that LOVE IS UNCONDITIONALLY. We do not have to DO anything. We are being called back into the Center of our own Being. We are being called to BE that which we are - and we are Beings made in the living image of Divine Love. By being that which we are everything else in life falls into its rightful place.
I understand LOVE to be the expression of Divine Law. In these days we are fiercely breaking away from all the previous restraints of external authority and that is a good thing. However, in our fierceness to regain our freedom we may be overlooking the fact that the Universe is continually creating along the Divine Reality of Love. Love is Divine Law. In this way, and in this way only is Love self organizing. We are not here to change the law or to embellish upon it. In the words of my mentor Lugh - "We are not here to change Divine Law, we are here to fulfill it." When we 'experiment' with Divine Law we tie ourselves to the Law of Cause and Effect, the Law of Karma. When we surrender our will to the Divine Will, the Divine Law, then we liberate ourselves from the wheel of suffering.
We each have this Divine Law of Love encoded deeply within our being. However, we may have layers of experience and suffering overlaying that. Love will express through the shadows that we still hold within us, but the expression of that love will have some form of attachment to it. Divine Love exists completely free of the necessity to express in a certain way. It expresses through form, but it does not identify with form. Those we know of as the Masters of Light move freely throughout the Earth realms, because they are not attached to form. It is only when we drop all attachment to form that we are truly able to express through form.
So the message and the medicine of Centaury I Heal Myself - Boundaries of Love - is profound and timely for all of us who are dedicated to clearing away all the restrictions and shadows that hinder the Divine Law of Love from expressing freely through our form, through our lives and through all of our choices.
