Today I was gazing outside my window while talking on the phone to a friend. We were talking about a project we had just been working on together and I spoke up for what I sensed were the reasons for some things not going quite so well. I addressed my observations of others, and myself.
Right after I had finished expressing in full I saw an eagle outside, flying from one tree to another. To me he was absolute perfection and beauty with his wide spread wings. Right after him two crows came out of the tree, attacking him in flight. He only just made it to the other tree – then the crows veered away.
To me this was a teaching from heaven, a reflection for me to contemplate. I know that I am a person holding back my truth, what I truly feel or see, because I am afraid of being attacked for expressing that truth. I do not usually spread my wings wide and express myself in full. However, that morning on the phone, I did so, one hundred percent.
And the gift to me was to understand that when I spread my wings and show myself in full, I might get attacked and it can seem very dangerous, but I can make it “to the other tree.” I am strong enough to keep flying and the attackers will disappear.
If the eagle had let the crows disturb his wing beat, he would never have made it. He simply kept on moving his wings. I saw this as a confirmation in understanding that it is essential to stay focussed and not get distracted or involved with any attacks… to focus and move on.
The starting point to this is first appreciating myself for who I am and accepting that my truth is worth claiming. Claiming my truth is claiming my rhythm – just like the beat of the eagle’s wings. Not getting caught up in battles with others, or battles within, like self doubt or negative thoughts (which in my eyes have the same power as attacks from others), will support me to find, and keep, my wings beating… and furthermore, allow me to fly, observing the world, able to go from A to B with all of me, no matter what comes my way.
I feel joyful to say that I have found true reflection for what I have ever felt to be truth in the teachings of Serge Benhayon. He stands up for what I can sense is truth but still keep holding back. And I feel blessed to have regained the ability to read life from my inner heart, to open up for life and people: learning to fly again.
Inspired by Serge Benhayon to reconnect to this wisdom and the ability to read from my inner heart.

Words on Serge Benhayon 
Getting in a flap about where we are going tends to bring problems but when we remain in a Loving rhythm then nothing disturbed or causes a reaction so we respond to the tree of life, then we can evolve from one situation to the next without missing a beat.
‘And the gift to me was to understand that when I spread my wings and show myself in full, I might get attacked and it can seem very dangerous, but I can make it “to the other tree.” I am strong enough to keep flying and the attackers will disappear.’ A really beautiful confirmation – not just for you Christina but for the reader too. Thank you for sharing this.
”I am strong enough to keep flying and the attackers will disappear. If the eagle had let the crows disturb his wing beat, he would never have made it. He simply kept on moving his wings.” Attacks are destined to disturb, if we can trust ourselves and stay steady we can see the attack for its intent and continue to express our love and truth. It doesn’t have to enter.
‘Claiming my truth is claiming my rhythm – just like the beat of the eagle’s wings’. And when we claim our rhythm we are unshakeable.
“Claiming my truth is claiming my rhythm – just like the beat of the eagle’s wings. Not getting caught up in battles with others, or battles within, like self doubt or negative thoughts … will support me to find, and keep, my wings beating…’ – this really spoke to me. How truth is just complete as it is. It needs no opponent or attacker to defeat, and to prove itself, it just simply is and there is nothing else to do other than for it to just be, and keep being.
We can all be inspired by the grace-full way the eagle and most things in nature approach life, and the way we can also move so that we take on nothing of what is happening around us is to get our movements true and then with a foundation of True Movement we can re-main connected to our essences.
How beautiful to read this blog as I had an interesting experience the other day about expression and an eagle too! I was walking by the river with a friend sharing how we were feeling and appreciating the space we had allowed to talk about what was “between us” and suddenly only a few meters away from us an eagle appeared to re-surface from the water and flew up and away – we both just stopped in our tracks and were in awe at the beauty and the majesty and the strength of such a large bird, and knew this was a symbol for us to keep doing what we were doing in terms of being honest with each other and hold strength in our solidarity.
Expressing how we feel is a healing in itself – for when things are unexpressed they can weigh us down and affect us in more ways than we realise.
The power and majesty of an eagle to reflect the power and majesty of expressing yourself in full. How awesomely divine, Christina, as you not only chose to express your truth in full, but chose to continue to stay open and stand in your power so The Hierarchy could offer the eagle’s reflection to you.
Thank you Christina, I have read this before but I have received so much today. I can understand more clearly the rhythm of the truth you speak of related to the eagles wings, and how we too have a rhythm of love and truth and can allow ourselves to miss a beat so to speak and lose our connection to ourselves and our natural rhythm if we react to others, or allow negative thoughts about ourselves. I have seen eagles attacked by other birds and they never lose their precision and majesty in the way they move.
It’s really rather crazy to think that so many of us, me included, have held back what it is that is waiting to be said as we are “afraid of being attacked for expressing that truth”. So, I wonder what it is that we carry inside us, an ancient memory perhaps, that carries this fear, a fear that somewhere, sometime actually may have become a reality. But the truth has a way of eventually being revealed, so why not express it when we feel to, and allow whatever happens next to unfold, in its own way and in its own time.
To stay steady and not get up in battles with others requires a loving, disciplined commitment to self; a commitment to knowing and living true purpose.
‘And the gift to me was to understand that when I spread my wings and show myself in full, I might get attacked and it can seem very dangerous, but I can make it “to the other tree.” I am strong enough to keep flying and the attackers will disappear.’ Absolutely gorgeous.
Christina I agree with you when you say
“Not getting caught up in battles with others, or battles within, like self doubt or negative thoughts (which in my eyes have the same power as attacks from others)” For me it is the internal battles within that have kept me away from truly expressing what I know to be true. This is where the presentations and workshops of Universal Medicine have been so supportive so much so that I can observe a situation and not get caught up so easily by allowing myself space to feel what is occurring rather than instantly reacting.
“Claiming my truth is claiming my rhythm – just like the beat of the eagle’s wings.” So true the more we claim our truth and what is right for us the more we flow with God.
Keep moving and stay with your steadiness. That is what I get from this and that is exactly what I needed to hear right now. Thank you ✨
I only can agree Christina, the more I can stop my own inner attacks to myself the merrier I can also stop the reaction I have to others.
I love the simplicity in what you are saying here, to keep steady in one’s truth.
Beautiful Christina, this resonates deep within. Indeed, to not let your beat be disturbed, to focus and move on.. I love that. Thank you. I will take that into my evening – and day.
We know how to fly like an eagle. Sometimes we do and we love it. Other times we get crows in our way. Other times, we do not even try.
Yes, we do know how to fly like an eagle, and we can in everything we do.
Well said Eduardo, we know it to to the bone and we love it, yet we can skive away from it and our responsibility of flying high and powerfully like an eagle and when we do that, this skiving away from our natural way of flying, this is when the thoughts can come in, the doubts and the so called attack upon ourselves – the crows that come and attempt to falter our flight. But should we remember the truth and stay steady with this, then there is no chance for the crows to have any effect.
I love that your read and related the symbolism of the eagle in flight, wings outstretch to full expanse in the way you did.. In life we receive precise guidance and symbols to support us our ever evolving selves, nothing is a coincidence.
I am noticing how doubt is a huge distraction. It can totally can throw me off course. I have been doing carpentry and handyman work for 40 years. Yet when I encounter a new project, if I allow any doubt at all about my ability to do it, it totally throws me. I have to really re- focus and sometimes stop and breath to get back to me.
It’s a great comment Ken and very relatable, it’s highlighted to me the importance of appreciation, to know who we are and where we are at, and even if something completely new and comes along our way we can still respond from all that we are and not sink into doubt. We are so much more than what we do, and we do not have to lose that even if there is something we are unable to do. It is all about the beauty of who we are.
“If the eagle had let the crows disturb his wing beat, he would never have made it.” A great reminder that no matter how many times someone tries to distract, disturb or attack us if we stay with ourselves we will always arrive to where we are going to.
‘Claiming my truth is claiming my rhythm – just like the beat of the eagle’s wings.’ These wings and its beat has a kind of majestic feel to me, you cannot deny or escape the power from someone using their wings so to speak and live in the rhythm of their wise body.
When we open our wings to move and express with purpose the crows try to play ‘catch up’ but we are always one wing beat in advance.
“And the gift to me was to understand that when I spread my wings and show myself in full, I might get attacked and it can seem very dangerous, but I can make it “to the other tree.” I am strong enough to keep flying and the attackers will disappear.” I love this Christina. Such a beautiful symbol of what we are all capable of and what is possible when we keep our wings spread wide.
This is beautiful and great to take into life: “If the eagle had let the crows disturb his wing beat, he would never have made it.” To let nothing disturb the consistency of our movements so we will not get shaken by things outside of us.
I love what you say about keep the wings beating. Let’s face it – after all, this is a house of lies we are living in, not many are going to like or let alone embrace truth so readily when it is delivered in full. And I totally agree, self-doubt is just as poisonous, if not worse.
Christina, I simply love eagles, their power, grace, and strength all in one. They are feared birds but there is something so clear in the message they send us. There is no hiding who they are, their intention is equal in every way to who they are and there is no reserve, no holding back, just a fullness. A great confirmation for you and a great message for us all.
“There is no hiding who they are, their intention is equal in every way to who they are and there is no reserve, no holding back, just a fullness.” This is beautiful David and offers much to us all.
Yes, something to feather our nest with! 🙂
Stay focused and keep going without letting distraction, attack or sabotage get in the way… that sounds like great advice to me.
Stefanie, I love what you have shared in your comment above about how living with purpose removes our fondness for reacting to the point that we can no longer see it as a bestowed right. This is because purpose brings a focus on what is needed for the ALL and not just for us.
‘…not get distracted or involved with any attacks… to focus and move on…’ – it is key to recognise and read but not give energy to the attack as that is what feeds it and thereby makes it apparently powerful or even overwhelming. The attacking energy needs to be starved out by seeing and calling it out for what it is and then not given anything.
Very true Alex, giving any ounce of energy to attack and it expands and becomes more powerful so do I indulge in the attack or do I see it for what it is, hold steady and get on with what I am to truly be getting on with and that is to surrender and deepen the relationship within myself.
Thanks Alexander, a great comment including “The attacking energy needs to be starved out by seeing and calling it out for what it is and then not given anything.”.
It’s so true that we can bring ourselves down or undermine ourselves through self-doubt or negativity as much (if not moreso) than hindrances that come from elsewhere, and great to recognise this and that essentially we are the only one who can make the choice to be in our true rhythm or not…
Awesome Christina, inspired to fly again.. yes we have stood too long on the ground with vast feet, it is interesting to see what has driven us to come to such vast ways.. but to finally let go and learn to fly again, be that beauty of love that is never set by a ground, but found in the Heavens, that is felt in our inner-heart.
I love your description of the eagle in its absolute steadiness, purpose in motion – the symbology is unmistakeable and palpable; it can be seen, tasted and heard.
Yes, unwavering and purposeful, letting nothing stand in its way. Inspirational.
The magic of God is all around us and when we tap into it everything within us expands.
Isn’t nature the most divine messenger? And I love how it brought you your message instantly leaving you with no doubt that your wings were indeed spread wide and that you were not holding back from expressing your truth. The eagle was such a perfect messenger as he held steady under the attack that was coming at him.
I have finally realised that when we spread our wings in full and fly to our own rhythm and grace whatever is trying to undermine and attack us as no space to get in.
Life all around communicates to us loudly, much like our bodies. We just need to tune in and listen to hear what is being said.
Yesterday when I put myself into my bed I couldn’t sleep, some thoughts were disturbing me when I was reminded about an eagle, its absolute presence supported me to deeply let go and rest. In its stillness there was no room for anything else, just the greatness of God in full.
Thank you Inma, I really appreciated your comment including “In its stillness there was no room for anything else, just the greatness of God in full.” This is so true, and reveals how distraction can take us away from our stillness and allow a disturbance to unsettle us, and conversely the power in maintaining our focus.
When we express from the truth we see and feel we offer the vibration of love, offering all in that moment the opportunity to deepen our connection to our innate way of being, calling us to be more of who we truly are. The more we deepen in love the less we tolerate all that is not of love.
So true Carola we become even more sensitive to those moments which are not of love, harmony and stillness.
When nature speaks loudly like this, we realise that we are not the only one trying to figure it out, that there is a magic talking to us all the time if we just open our eyes, our ears and most importantly our hearts.
It really is evil to teach life as being purely physical and what we can see, touch, smell, taste and interact with. Yes, it is that but when you focus purely on that and ignore the wider aspects of life you miss out on seeing and feeling the grand beauty that is around us, reflected in nature each and every day.
The more we choose responding instead of reacting in general in life, it will support you whilst an attack to stay more observing. It never works just in the moment. It need so be moved and manifested in your movements beforehand.
It is never about attacking back an attack. It is about responding through observation- the more of appreciation and acceptance and livingness of the wide spread wings, will support you never leaving your standard of gliding and rhythm of your wings no matter what comes your way.
Attack is not he answer to being attacked; steadiness and purpose and all of us are.
The more we spread our wings, the less anyone can disturb our flight in any way shape or form.
And when we fly… we inspire others to realise that they can do the same thing.
Thank you Stefanie, I have never looked at it this way.
How majestic Christina! The magic of God through symbolism can offer so much in revelation. Its an honour we always have to read and understand energy… It is a great service to yourself and others.
Beautifully said Rik – it certainly is an honor for all when we are willing to read and respond with truth as when we do we create space for love to be magnified, for greater love to be lived.
Awesome – such a great reflection
Yes, the crows veer away because they can’t touch the eagle. They would come up second best.
To make the choice to “spread my wings wide and express myself in full” is the difference between living half a life and living one in glorious fullness. We are not here in this world to hold back and only share part of us, we are here to live all that we are, without perfection, and to reflect this to others who may be struggling to know who they are.
Thank you Christina, it’s a really lovely blog that I have read before. The Magic of God in the symbolism of the eagle was an amazing way to deliver wisdom to you. So true re attacks “it is essential to stay focussed and not get distracted or involved with any attacks… to focus and move on.” The very nature of an attack is to unsettle us, and disturb the expression of our truth and progression into deeper truth.
When we re-connect back to our divine essence it is like we have regained our wings again, a truly beautiful experience.
That’s so true Elizabeth, and the core reason for any attack to come our way, to attempt to separate us from our divine essence.
Thank you for sharing your teaching and gift from heaven, that we all can learn from, which is to stay true to oneself, to express one’s truth in the knowing that we are strong enough to keep on flying. Gorgeous to read this blog today.
The question is: do we make life about us, or about truth.?! About “us” or oneself gives you the security and keeps you in comfort to not stick your head out too much. It seemingly gives you satisfaction and a relief, but in fact you are compromising yourself and it only delays what will be exposed anyway one day, as the truth is the future and you cannot escape that fact, only delay it.
Thank you Stefanie, your comment really supports a realisation I have had recently about how I have held back the truth and the fullness of my being because of the reactions in relationships, and that this is such a small way to view life because on a grander scale (without self obstructing the view) the expression of truth and our love is very much needed.
Reaction in any way shape or form are always a indicator of making it about us personally. No matter how cruel someone behaves towards oneself or what energy comes through, the tiny moment, we react instead of reading and allowing space with that and then acting from that, we are caught in the “ME”. What if true and full embraced purpose means that we don´t have the right to react?
“If the eagle had let the crows disturb his wing beat, he would never have made it. He simply kept on moving his wings. I saw this as a confirmation in understanding that it is essential to stay focussed and not get distracted or involved with any attacks… to focus and move on.” – This is such a great reminder that we can get caught up in the drama of being attacked when we express ourselves in full and focus on the hurt of it all, instead of seeing and appreciating that what we are expressing may be bringing up for another how they are not taking responsibility for their actions (hence the attacks) and that the reflection provided is a blessing. What’s really amazing is how when I started writing this comment a huge hawk started flying very low over our lake right outside my window, circling counter clockwise and showing off its gorgeous outstretched wings!
Could it be that the outer battles we experience in life are there because of our inner battle within?
Amazing every time I read this Christina, you share the centre stone to all we do. To fly in full, one is to fly from their own breath, and from this breath we feel how we are one with all.
Maintaining our focus allows us to live true purpose, which brings a great sense of responsibility and joy.
Love your analogy of the Eagle, a majestic bird that for me represents power and truth, that soars high in the skies and sees all …. ‘eagle eyed’ for it misses nothing. A bird that is not swayed or sent off course by any attack or pursuit that will try to interfere with what it knows to be true. To have this reflection when you got off the phone is beautiful and confirming of your willingness to speak the truth regardless of the attacks that might come your way.
‘I saw this as a confirmation in understanding that it is essential to stay focussed and not get distracted or involved with any attacks… to focus and move on.’ Great reminder that if I get involved in attacks then I take myself down. It’s about staying true; if I get caught up in trying to convince others I’m right then I’ve lost the way.
The ability to be steady in life no matter what comes our way is so important, life is full of challenges and ups and downs and building a foundation within ourselves that’s solid and steady and able to not only withstand difficult times but rise higher above them is vital.
I love this message you received Christina. If we walk all we are without a flinch, then nothing can touch the sides.
Christina wow this is powerful – what a great reflection this eagle is, we withstand attacks when we keep to our own true movement and our own true rhythm.
“Claiming my truth is claiming my rhythm – just like the beat of the eagle’s wings”. This is so beautiful to read and to feel Christina. Your lived wisdom shows so clearly and so simply that if we can hold the beauty and the truth of who we are that nothing can disturb our rhythm – the beat of our ‘wings’ – as we walk the path that we have chosen.
The support nature gives us when we are ready to see what is happening around us is amazing. How much we allow our-selves to read what is going on ultimately depends on us feeling the blessing “to have regained the ability to read life from” our “inner heart.”
The majesty of the eagle is that it can soar above the crows that seek to destabilise its grand and circling flight.
Seeing someone fly with widespread open wings is the biggest joy I can feel in another. It is saying: I say YES to me and I know I have to keep on flying, otherwise no one will ever feel and get reflected that you are safe in flying. Even attacks will not hold me back in reaching from one point to the next and next and next…
When it comes to expressing truth “the starting point to this is first appreciating myself for who I am and accepting that my truth is worth claiming’- absolutely. If the eagle thinks it’s a chicken it will try so hard to master the way of a chicken and it would never show its true beauty and magnificence. If I cannot accept in full that I am of truth, of love, how can I ever start to trust my own expression?
Christina its lovely to read your experience with the eagles and understand not only the beauty in nature but also the symbolic and deeply personal message that comes with the magic of God.
A beautiful article Christina, thank you, so inspiring, I have kept myself hidden for so long for fear of attack, now i am slowly endeavouring to open the door slightly and put myself out there, I love these words, ” And I feel blessed to have regained the ability to read life from my inner heart, to open up for life and people: learning to fly again.”
The birds illustrated such a great point. It is absolutely true, that the wider we spread our wings in the knowingness of who we are, being attacked just doesn’t stick. When you know and trust yourself for sure, it becomes very difficult to knock you off your perch.
‘It is essential to stay focussed and not get distracted or involved with any attacks… to focus and move on.’ I love this sharing. The image of the eagle is a strong one… keep going and don’t get distracted from purpose… something I can definitely learn from!
No attack can hurt you more than holding back the width of your wings in life.
So true Stefanie, I have personally experienced many attacks from people close to me when I was growing up but what hurts more is my protection and holding back. This just shows how powerful we are, because the outer attacks we receive can only touch the surface but it is our own attack that goes the deepest. So, why would we attack ourselves?
I too had a great learning today about forces and attacks. That as soon as I take them personally, then they become my focus rather than looking at the bigger purpose and possibility for truth.
Staying steady and not batting an eyelid, or changing the beat of your wings, is an important life lesson to be known and to live to the best of your ability. I have found programs such as Esoteric Yoga are super supportive to bring you into your body so you can feel it and stay steady in it, that support you to be you and not hold back.
We live our lives in the shadows of beatings we have never received, assaults that never took place and retribution that was not dolled out. It seems abuse doesn’t have to actually happen to us to make us scared, cower and stand on guard. For when one of us is harmed we all feel the effects and more specifically, the threat. Yet what we must see is this is the aim of the bullying energy, to keep us living in fear, silent, invisible like we are not here. So when we continue on this way, we are not safe as we think, but stuck in a big trick the abuse has played on us. This is a great harm to us all, that we hold back these wings from stretching wide in this world. Once we understand the true state of affairs as you do Christina it’s time to soar high in the skies without apprehension.
Attacks come in many forms to try to reduce us and stop us expressing and living in our fullness, we are far more powerful than any of these attacks, and the key is to read them and not to react to them in anyway.
Brilliant reminder Anna, ‘….the key is to read them and not to react to them in anyway’. Also, if we do not attack ourselves, we are less likely to allow or accept others attacking us.
So many of us can relate to what you have shared here Christina… the holding back for fear of being pounced on, shot at, attacked in whatever way this may be. We get ourselves caught in this, and stay in the hiding that hurts us more than any attack that can come at us, when we don’t let ourselves see the bigger picture of what is really going on. When we realise that the attack is not a personal thing, and that it is simply an attack on light, we realise we have an important role to play. The more our light brightens, the more will come to try and offset this, because a shining light inspires others to shine as well. We then begin to see the attacks as a confirmation that we are doing what we are here to do – which is to shine all that we are so that inspiration back to truth leads the way.
Not getting into a flap about life but responding and not reacting to what is going on around us is key to our evolution.
Knowing that this life here on earth is actually not it- knowing everything about it and being in it, but having as a purpose to reflect and live that the biggest goal to have is to leave this kind of creation, that keeps us in security and dependency with no expansion and true evolution whatsoever.
Could not agree more Stefanie, and may I add that moving and expressing our True “reflection” for others to feel what you have shared!
Appreciation allows us to know who we truly are and that there is a bigger plan at play where the more we claim our power through true movement the more the retaliation is that comes back to stop us from expressing truth, knowing this then supports us to live with purpose and express all of who we are as it is only then that we will once again return to our divine origin we separated from.
Gosh, I love this sharing. It is so true, never focus or give your energy to that which brings you down but stay with your purpose and keep your focus on this.
This blog resonates deeply with me. There has been many a time when what I have felt to do has gone against the majority opinion. I know that sometimes we have to go with what the majority wants, but when I have caved, without expressing fully what I feel, it has left me feeling compromised. I am growing to see the importance of staying true to my values, even If I am a lone voice.
And even if we don’t make it to the other tree, we are held regardless by something far grander that transcends the physical holding on. Initiates of the past let themselves be slain as they stood up for truth, knowing they would simply return in a new incarnation and do it all again. I’m still very much attached to ‘this’ life, to knowing I have something that I can hold on to – a security base. But I know there is more to go and more to let go of – and that ultimately, when we do make that unwavering commitment to standing up for what is true, no matter what, we have God’s grace holding us always, regardless of what may happen in the temporal, physical sense.
“It is essential to stay focussed and not get distracted or involved with any attacks… to focus and move on.” When I read this line several times I got a deeper understanding of what the so called attacks try to do to us. as these try to distract you from you focus so you lose the purpose in life. And that to me may be the root cause of all our problems we have in our relationships and in our societies that instead of supportong one another in finding our true way in life we tend to attack and keep each other small, not allowing people to evolve and grow to the potential we all carry within and have a strong connection with.
Christina I love the timelessness of this blog. For ever relevant to all. Be the love that you are and nothing can touch you, for the power of love knows it is far greater than anything that attempts to prove otherwise.
Thank you, Christina, the key is to not be distracted away from your path of truth – and also allow to see that the opposite force will try its best to hook you in and get you off track. To keep the purpose and the commitment to love and truth – is the one that keeps us straight in cycle with the path. Only we can let ourselves be distracted through our openings. The more we seal the openings – the less we will be touched by opposite force (evil).
Christina how amazing to feel and appreciate the magic of God that is all around us, its these signs, this guidance from God that is deeply confirming.
If we fly in our beauty and keep steady we get where we need to go.
Nature inspires us out of disharmony if we are willing to appreciate its reflection. Why do we remain stubborn when nature keeps showing us another far more harmonious way?
Thank you Christina… Yes, expressing our truth can really be a big step when we are not used to it. But it really is like so many things, once you start and are in the flow of it, anything else feels unnatural
Yes, when we really connect to the fact that we have it all and actually don’t have to be anything but ourselves, we can easily walk through life unscathed. We take on all the rubbish around us when we settle for the idea that we are not enough.
If you watch an eagle when smaller or other birds like crows try and disturb them for the most they just keep flying and don’t even miss a beat. I always laugh as the eagle continues as if there is nothing going on even though they are fully aware of what is going on. It’s a great message in among all of this, that no matter what is happening on the outside stay true to what you feel on the inside and where you are headed. The moment you change course because of something you perceive is coming at you then you have been effected and the course is no longer true to you.
A powerful reflection of the magic of God to confirm your opening your wings to fly and express all of you and not to be distracted by those who may try to send you off-course.
I’ve heard many people talk about ‘being all of me’. It seemed odd at first, after all how could you be anybody else? But then I had to reflect that when you do any act, pick up a chair or move to the kitchen, you can do it in a ‘normal’ casual way or you can bring all of your attention to what it is you do, and go deeper with every step that you take, embracing and enjoying every move. And so we can see that our everyday ‘normal’ may not be so healthy at all but selling ourselves short in the most profound way. Why settle for going through the motions when you can live with the grace of God? Thank you Christina for spreading your wings and encouraging us all to go for it the whole way.
Beautiful and powerful what you’ve shared Joseph. I am beginning to understand the depth of love and power that is constantly available for us all to connect ourselves and to God via the quality of our movements.
There is a great joy, power and grace in spreading our wings and allowing ourselves to naturally soar.
When we spread our wings and focus on what we are doing, we are able to fly, no matter what tries to knock us off.
Beautiful blog Christina, you are inspiring me to express truth more and more. At the moment, I often fall into the habit of holding back expressing truth purely for the fear of being attacked. My age-old habit is something I am working on letting go and learning to express truth no matter what.
I love that we are constantly receiving messages from God – those divine reflections from nature, the words on the side of a lorry, the so-called coincidences that are not really this but very clear and deliberate opportunities for us to evolve. It is for us to then read them and receive the blessing they offer.
It’s like we are in trenches, in the First World War. Huddled together we shiver and shake and contemplate popping our head above the precipice – what if we get hit by enemy fire? We sweat for hours only to finally venture out of the ditch to discover that there is no enemy at all, no guns, no bomb, just daylight and clouds. Your words Christina remind me that when we understand the way life truly is, there is no weapon we should fear, no war we need to fight, just a Love to be totally claimed and lived.
Wow Joseph, thank you for sharing your wisdom. I am deeply, deeply inspired.
I give that a second wow Joseph. So well explained.
The question is, how often do we actually not sit in the ditch? What I love about your analogy: in the ditch we don´t see what is coming, we don´t have an overview. So we are in constant alert and nervous energy or hardness. When we allow us out of the ditch to see and observe what is coming towards us, when something is coming, we can be much better prepared, as we can see and feel it from far away. Observance without fear but inviting and accepting everything that awaits us, saying yes to the flow of life, is for me the greatest “protection” you can choose to live.
There are confirming messages all around us when we claim what is true and live the love we are.
This is so true Christine, I often ponder on how many messages we miss when we are not open to receiving the magic of God.
When we hold ourselves back from speaking the truth there is no correction out there for the lies.
It’s absolutely amazing and miraculous to read this blog right now. I have been seriously attacked just recently and aware of the fact of the distraction and self-doubt playing out when I’m claiming me more than I have ever had. Thank you God for the support around me that I must trust, and more than ever trusting me for where I am at right now and to continually stay focused!
Bringing in the perspective of the fact that we all constellate ourselves every situation we are in, even attacks, it is great to look at, what your part/ opening in the attack was- why it could enter and play out like this. As every situation is a moment to learn and to evolve from, it is great that things like that actually happen- they can be the biggest evolution booster if we embrace the reflection.
True Stefanie, and to follow up or on from, it brought one of the most profound healings to me. A true blessing when I read and felt into the energy I was in to bring this to me.
When we hold our-self in respect and decency then we are starting to be like the eagle and not be affected by those who would want to make us feel lesser that the true Love we all are. Flying from the inner-heart is like a rocket ship to the stars, which is taking us home to the Love we come from.
Wow, it is possible that nature is actually reflecting something back to us! Of course it is, but for us to be willing to see it for all that it is, is taking some time. Examples like this are awesome reminders and the magic that’s there.
I agree Elodie the word wow is most appropriate when we realise everything we observe, experience and reflected back to us from the world around us has both meaning and value to learn from and understand. And yes, there is indeed magic in that.
Thank you Christina a lovely reminder that when we stay with truth and don’t hold back or get caught up in self doubt we can soar like an eagle and not be affected from any attacks that may come our way.
The magic of God is all around us, if only we take heed and learn from these magnificent reflections; as you have done Christina. Thank you for sharing your experiences and your wisdom.
A beautiful sharing Christina, with very valuable lessons for us all. I love what you have shared here;
“Claiming my truth is claiming my rhythm – just like the beat of the eagle’s wings”. A gorgeous analogy and reflection.
There is nothing like backing yourself to the hilt. There’s definitely a place for self-reflection, but second-guessing ourselves is extremely debilitating – and certainly not a characteristic of the eagle.
Know thyself through the reflection of all that is around you.
The eagle in this very personal and tailor-made instance is a very powerful symbol of staying true to who we are and our deepest essence; as did the eagle not let itself be disturbed by the crows so we are also capable of holding to our rhythm and direction. What a beautiful confirmation.
I love this Christina. It is one thing for nature to reflect that which is needing to be brought into our awareness, it is quite another to be open to receiving these messages and then use this awareness to bring about a supportive change in our life.
The beauty of reflections if we so choose to stop and marvel at their wonder is they can teach us much about life and how we live it everyday. That is the rhythm and wonder of nature and our role within that.
Those reflections offered in key moments are golden and very powerful, I am sure they happen far more often than we care to recognise but perhaps they are not always confirming of something we are ready to embrace, showing us at times as well where we might need to step up.
True, and feeling the appreciation of this fact this morning.
Loving reflections are all around us when we have eyes to see. I am ever touched by the grace of these. Yesterday day I was sitting outside looking across the sky when I saw quite high up a tiny feather and I watched it as it very gently made its way to the ground.I didn’t realise what it was at first as it was a distance away but I could feel it. There were many people around although it didn’t appear anyone had noticed it. It carried a message for me that was significant to the day.
There is such focus, dedication, grace and power in the eagle – a great metaphor for us when we are not holding back the fullness of our expression.
An eagle sees all – it is a bird with incredible eyesight and thus the threat it poses to the other birds that cannot see what it sees.
Perfect timing to read this blog today, as I relate so much. But recently, I have been feeling safe to spread my wings, and express without fear of attack, and when I do, I can feel my whole body vibrating with aliveness. And all others benefit too.
This past week for me has been all about expressing truth. It started off with simply asking a question that I would have normally not bothered to ask. I really appreciated the response I received that came with much love and clarity, and it was beautiful to feel a sense of completion. This made me realise how much abuse I allow when I hold back myself – for me and everyone else. And how the rest of the week unfolded for me was just a clear confirmation that when we make a clear choice to side with Truth, our life starts to readjust itself to make it more truth-full – like, some old unaddressed, long-held stuff would come up to the surface to be addressed and communicated, and I am feeling so supported by the grace of God in this process.
When we ‘spread our wings and show ourselves in full’ we are magnificent and unstoppable.
What a beautiful sharing Christina, I love the way you see so clearly what God was telling you through the ballet of these animals. Our whole day is designed this way to support us to spread our wings and soar like the magnificent beings we are. This is the total opposite of the struggle, fear and obligation we tend to see life with. Why focus on the perceived attack when we are grand and perfectly equipped to navigate any danger?
Getting involved in attacks or playing the scenarios again and again in your head leaves you feeling less and then the doubt sets in. Allowing doubt to stop others from feeling the true quality that is offered adds already to the levels of dis-ease that we are surrounded in with our current way of living. Thank you for sharing how a simple symbol brought you so much clarity on how to remain steady and present what is needed.
Doubt undermines us at every turn and is one of our greatest destabilisers of all time.
This is a beautiful reflection that truth might be attacked but it cannot be stopped, it simply keeps on being truth.
When we stand up to truth there will no doubt be an opening for others who have sat in their ill truths to be shaken. Exposing the truth breaks the foundation that is no longer allowing the levels of comfort to reside.
Appreciating and accepting myself is a powerful message for me today Christina, thank you for the gorgeous reflection and symbolism;
“The starting point to this is first appreciating myself for who I am and accepting that my truth is worth claiming”.
I love what you have written here –”Claiming my truth is claiming my rhythm – just like the beat of the eagle’s wings. Not getting caught up in battles with others, or battles within, like self doubt or negative thoughts (which in my eyes have the same power as attacks from others), will support me to find, and keep, my wings beating… and furthermore, allow me to fly, observing the world, able to go from A to B with all of me, no matter what comes my way.” We are magnificent beings and all we have to do is just allow ourselves to be that and claim what is ours to claim.
There are so many moments in our day that offer us a reflection of where we are at in life. Be it a person, plant, animal, shade or shape of a cloud etc, there is much that teaches us are about us when we are willing to be open and feel and see it.
“I know that I am a person holding back my truth, what I truly feel or see, because I am afraid of being attacked for expressing that truth.” I can so relate Christina – and yet the gift is that, like the eagle, we are “strong enough to keep flying the attackers will disappear.”. What can be more important than expressing truth – and love?
We can all equally fly in this life, once we connect to the inner wisdom and embrace who we are in full.
It is a beautiful place to be in life when you can be open to the messages that are on offer all around us that support us through their reflection and the lessons they offer. To appreciate deeply who we are and not let anything get in the way of us claiming our truth, spreading our wings and flying with all of us, is a lesson we can all benefit from and a movement that is healing for all to see.
Today I was gazing out the window and also saw a most beautiful eagle and pelican, providing an amazing reflection and reminder of the power and divinity of the Magic of God. The constellation and confirmation was completed when I read your blog Christina, it was deeply appreciated.
First thank you for the reminder that we get reflections from Heaven every single moment every single day it is just a matter of seeing them and reading them instead of .. erm not! Today whilst driving I saw 2 birds up in the air when I looked it was a crow chasing a Red Kite, the Kite is far bigger and more graceful than the crow but the Kite was fleeing from the crow. The message I read from this is for me to not let thoughts of self-doubt etc attack me as my essence/Soul is far far grander and bigger than the energy that either I attack myself with or another attacks me with so to live this rather than that.
I love the symbolism of the eagle’s steady, unshakeable flight path, I have a feeling that if we held the truth as incredibly precious to us our flight path would be similar – when you know the truth and you stand for that truth very little can shake you or change your course of action.
Thank you Christina for this beautiful sharing. The magnificent Eagle is a great example of raising ourselves above and beyond our issues and connecting to our truth and not being distracted or threatened by others. Connected to our innermost.
I once had a vision of birds flying together and noticing that birds don’t look left or right seeing what other birds are doing, they just are flying, in harmony, with no comparison. I love how nature can show us so much about ourselves and how life can be when we are connected to our true nature.
I’d never clocked that before but it’s so true. When a whole group of birds fly together they never look over to see what the others are doing, they simply do their thing, and amazingly they never crash into each other which means they rely on something other than their eyes to tell them what’s around them.
This is such a beautiful sharing Christina. I love the analogy of the eagle’s flight to our own path. What a great reminder that we can choose to be disturbed by what is going on around us or we can stay in our own rhythm and flow.
Such a beautiful lesson in your blog Christina, thank you. I love what you have expressed in full here;
“The starting point to this is first appreciating myself for who I am and accepting that my truth is worth claiming. Claiming my truth is claiming my rhythm – just like the beat of the eagle’s wings”.
Keeping your own ‘wings’ steady and beating them to your own rythym is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself.
The beauty is our consistency to keep moving forward and to not dwell on things or situations that may arise in our days to set us off balance. When we find the purpose is to hold our movements and to simply express and be who we are without perfection but a willingness to be open and learn everyday. Thank you Christina simply beautiful.
Very wise words and clear observations Christina, wondering how often we get this magic of God at play, showing us all those symbolic meanings of how we can choose in life to stay blatant or rise beyond..
I needed to read this today- a beautiful reflection of honouring our rhythm and expressing our truth. It is so true that we are attacked more when we speak truth but if we don’t then who will.
What a beautiful sharing – and also a beautiful reading on this – what the eagle represented for you is gorgeous and very powerful and makes me appreciate that it is possible to stand up for truth.
Once we start living to our beat, our rhythm, our so called own eagle fly, we become to understand that life is so much more than we had thought and have been taught (some exceptions, you might have been)..To follow one’s heart and claims one’s light that by virtue of standing for what you feel is true, you let out your wings and learn how to fly and that by this independence you will learn how to go with life and also learn to trust yourself (the source of divine power and love) that you come from, to keep deepening and standing for who you are, even when attacks are strong and getting more and bigger.
It is beautiful to have a role model like Serge Benhayon. We need true role models in life who reflect what we know within us to be true.
I looked for this blog again today, after a week of seeing an eagle fly around in circles with its wings spread in a beautiful gliding way, from my kitchen and lounge room. I have been holding back lately and then reacting to this and blurting out angrily in situations when there is a lack of honesty and transparency. What I take from seeing this eagle is, it stands out, above all the trees and high rises, it is seen very clearly and is not fazed one bit. Imagine if it held back being seen… you wouldn’t know it was there if it was hiding away in the middle of a tree. Reminding me that we are always being watched, we are always being seen for what we are living or not. Either reflecting our magnificence or our contraction.
Beautifully inspiring to read Christina, I have held back my truth for fear of being attacked in the past, but as the rhythm of the eagle’s wing beat did not falter but brought him to safety, what a beautiful reflection I can appreciate and claim my truth in full keeping my rhythm I will be safe from attacks within or without.
So true Christina, when we connect to the truth we are so powerful that for sure we will be attacked by those who are disturbed by the truth that you bring and do not want to go there but prefer to stay in their comfortable status quo instead.
What a powerful teaching from heaven Christina. What I could sense from reading it was the rhythmical beat of the eagles wings – a great reminder of how rhythm supports us to stay in the flow of our day, undisturbed by things going on around us.
It is always inspiring to come back to this blog Christina. When we express truth we liberate not only ourselves but all others, to feel and see more of who we truly are in essence, as such to know what is of this Soulful quality and what is not, through which our movements then magnify our light within, with every future step we take.
I love seeing animals in nature and the reflection they offer, it is amazing to consider that when we observe animals they are offering such a reflection, learnings and confirmations if we wish to delve deeper into what they show. And where we can go to as human beings in the integrity and depth of communication we have with the Universe.
When we are solid, no attack can waiver us. We will know all in the instant.
Very true knowing rocks and knowing is rock solid.
We have to come to grips with the fact that if we are not ourselves 100%, before the outside world attacks us, we do it first (that is we attack ourselves) and then go from there.
The true beauty of appreciating our own wings and how they carry us through life is much to celebrate. Just like the eagle you described Christina. Thank you.
I like the way the starting point was first to appreciate yourself Christina.
As I feel my-self open up to the loving grace that is so evident in what you have shared Christina, I can appreciate how much the magic of God is with us so when I simply be open to this fact and make it part of my Livingness magic can happen. The magic can be as simple as me returning to my breath so I stay connected in a time where stress could take over.
“when I spread my wings and show myself in full, I might get attacked and it can seem very dangerous, but I can make it “to the other tree.”” And even I may not make it to ‘the other tree’ and succumb by the crows – I lived in grace. What sense does life make if I hold back my beauty and power, just to survive. Survive for what? A life of anxiety, narrowness and hiding? This would be more an existing – but in fact we all want to truly LIVE. A life that expresses our preciousness. Yes, this will bring up some attacks, but those who attack the lived power of beauty and preciousness need it the most as an reflection that is a truth as well for them, as it is for all of us.
This is a beautiful analogy, to keep beating our wings, to keep expressing our truth in full and ‘Not getting caught up in battles with others, or battles within, like self doubt or negative thoughts’
What a strange world we have created where we find ourselves afraid of expressing the truth and spreading our wings!
“Not getting caught up in battles with others, or battles within, like self doubt or negative thoughts (which in my eyes have the same power as attacks from others), will support me to find, and keep, my wings beating… and furthermore, allow me to fly, observing the world, able to go from A to B with all of me, no matter what comes my way.” This spoke to me today as it is often our inner negative thoughts, fed to us by our spirit, that can be as damaging as attacks from outside. When we know who we truly are outside attacks have less of an impact.
‘And the gift to me was to understand that when I spread my wings and show myself in full, I might get attacked and it can seem very dangerous, but I can make it “to the other tree.” I am strong enough to keep flying and the attackers will disappear.’ This kind of confidence comes from being present in and with one’s body and all it’s movements.
I got so much from reading your blog Christina and love the power and truth in this analogy “Claiming my truth is claiming my rhythm – just like the beat of the eagle’s wings. Not getting caught up in battles with others, or battles within, like self doubt or negative thoughts (which in my eyes have the same power as attacks from others), will support me to find, and keep, my wings beating… and furthermore, allow me to fly, observing the world, able to go from A to B with all of me, no matter what comes my way.”
Beautiful sharing Christina. Appreciating and confirming ourselves is so important – it can be so easy to let doubt creep in – then we can lose ourselves and there is delay in returning to who we truly are – sons of God. .
There is something about this line that really stands out for me, “no matter what comes my way” it can’t rock me.
Yes Christina, imagine as you say a magnificent eagle who with every flap of it’s wings doubted that it could fly and even get by. Imagine if it let itself be scared by those other aggressive birds and tried to make itself insignificant and small. This metaphor is powerful to consider for we all have this grand power naturally – the absurd part is to give into fear and modify our action to ‘fit in’.
I agree that not allowing attacking thoughts from ourselves is just as important as coping with others reactions. Switching off the tapes in our heads removes the oxygen of self doubt and building appreciation of what we have to offer supports us to express our truth without fear.
Thank you for sharing this awesome reflection of staying focused and not getting distracted by whatever is going on around us. So often the fear of others reactions has prevented me from speaking up but the more consistency I build into my life the more I am able to stay steady whatever happens.
Christina, I love this blog. The teaching that is offered is so vital in our journey to live ourselves in full. Our greatest protection is to live the love we are with no holding back. Awesome.
Thank you Christina for writing a very confirming blog. What I have learnt in recent months is yes I am very delicate and fragile but I am amazed at how I can hold on to what I know is the truth when the winds in life become very turbulent.
There is never a moment when life is not communicating with us. It is so confirming, fun and evolutionary to be aware of all the messages that are constantly before us. The more we listen and respond the more we see and hear.
Self appreciation is the world’s most potent (and loving) antidote when we’re feeling down or are being attacked.
Well this story is very much worth sharing with the world, so thank you. Nature is a wonderful mirror which reflects to us so much in our lives. It’s up to us to take note and ‘listen’ to what it’s telling us. Be that eagle, spread those wings and soar far and high.
Very true Christina, there is no real danger in expressing truth, but it certainly feels that way and there are certainly times when the crows do peck at your feathers. But truth comes from a place that is untouchable… we just have to learn to never leave it.
Nature is a beautifull reflection to us, we just need to look up and see the magic and messages all around us. ‘If the eagle had let the crows disturb his wing beat, he would never have made it.’ May your wing beat be steady and strong.
What a gorgeous reflection Christina, thank you for sharing your wisdom and your experiences, I love what you have expressed here;
“The starting point to this is first appreciating myself for who I am and accepting that my truth is worth claiming. Claiming my truth is claiming my rhythm – just like the beat of the eagle’s wings”.
I can relate to this Christina, I see that I just commented on this blog but obviously there is more for me to express here. I can have thoughts that might come when I’m expressing what I feel is true such as doubts but then I wonder where these thoughts come from? Is it from us or is it the untruths in the world that gets shaky when we speak up? Sometimes I wonder when I feel a resistance when I’m about to say something that the resistance might not be in me but the resistance of what is about to be shaken up by the truth I am about to deliver. Turns things around a bit and one can feel a bit more at ease when there are feelings of resistance or doubt coming up if we consider this.
The eagles wings have such a strong impact on the space and air around them. Their movement creates more movement and affects everything around it. Just like us. When we move, we may not feel the disturbance, harmony or breeze we make, but our ripples are nonetheless felt by all.
Thanks Christina – speaking up and expressing ourselves is paramount if we want to experience life in full. A dull life is when we do not express who we are and what we feel is true.
So true Matts, when we don’t express ourselves in full, life is dull. If we want to feel amazing and life to flow, then it just requires that amazingness we have inside to be expressed. So simple!
The starting point to this is first appreciating myself for who I am and accepting that my truth is worth claiming. Claiming my truth is claiming my rhythm. Your blog Christina is very timely for me, especially the words, accepting that my truth is worth claiming. This I am still moving through at the moment, and as I do this, I can feel the importance of each of us expressing our truths to others because so much can come from a lived truth direct from heaven that we may not see.
What a powerful display this was for you.
It can be challenging to keep our wings open when attacked and Serge Benhayon has been the support of so many people, myself included, in doing this and connecting to my heart and inner wisdom. Beautifully expressed, Christina.
Beautiful blog Christina. We often hold back from speaking up so that we won’t get attacked but I am all into making it the new ‘norm’ to accept that getting attacked for who I truly am in full is much better than being liked for who I am not.
I love the way nature reflects and confirms back to us where we are at all times, regardless if we are willing to read the situation and become aware. Many times I am aware that there is a message but do not always manage to read what is being shared to it’s full extent – definitely a work in progress.
Yes, I agree Julie and this blog is very inspiring in both the way of doing so and the value gained.
I love how you share it is “essential to stay focussed and not get distracted or involved with any attacks. .. to focus and move on” in your power the attacks cannot harm you, as you stay steady and claimed with you speaking truth is true expression.
Awesome confirmation that, our greatest protection is living all the love we are.
Nature is a gift for offering us reflections to confirm what is going on in our lives and what we truly feel. This is a great example of how we can read it and learn and evolve, or ignore it and stay where we are. Stillness in the body can offer an amazing healing – one that can be felt by all.
Be still, and you will find a core of inner strength and beauty so profound that there is nothing in this world that can truly rock you. And whilst there may be momentary moments of wavering, they are but moments, and that is worth remembering whenever you are rocked. Because the truth is the world is not perfect, and so perfectionism of any kind is impossible to achieve. It is impossible to control life to the level of perfection we seek. It is impossible to find nirvana – a perfect sense of existence – all because this world is imperfect. And so, part of embracing true stillness and thus living a life of true divinity is being able to accept the imperfection of life and within oneself.
What a gorgeous confirmation and appreciation of yourself Christina and a true inspiration for us all to fly. There is no doubt that expressing what you know to be true is freeing and expanding;
“And I feel blessed to have regained the ability to read life from my inner heart, to open up for life and people: learning to fly again”.
There will always be those that attack whatever it is that disturbs the level of comfort and security they have chosen for themselves. In fact, you could say that we are all, to some degree, guilty of this. The choice is whether we allow our comfortable nests to be upset in order to arise (deepen) to the next level of development (evolution) or whether we choose to resist this. When we learn how to surrender the fight that keeps us living in such protection, naturally we feel exposed, vulnerable and deeply uncomfortable but that is only because it has not been our lived way for so long and not because it is a state unnatural or unknown to us. Re- learning how to stretch our wings wide and fly high is a deeply gorgeous and rewarding process, as your example of God’s majesty Christina so beautifully shows us. And while there will, for some time to come, always be the evil that seeks to uproot the seeds we are sowing, it cannot enter any domain where love is lived and claimed in full.
What a display of symbolism!!
If there is one transformative thing in this world is to express truth. It changes everything.
I love coming back to this blog to be reminded of how powerful it is to express in full; to not hold back our truth, love and light. Nature is such a wonderful reflection of divine full expression, a beautiful inspiration for us all.
Expressing in full feels so gorgeous and powerful it is a miracle that we don’t do it more often. Expressing in full does not mean being assertive and it does not always even require words, but it is an energetic experience (expression) of not holding back our love and truth.
Gorgeous Christina, showing us by nature’s example, how we are empowered to step up and know ourselves in full power, no holding back or hiding as is shown by our Nature.
I absolutely love this blog Christina – it makes my heart soar!
I love this Christina, ‘The starting point to this is first appreciating myself for who I am and accepting that my truth is worth claiming.’ When I appreciate myself everything seems to fall into place easily and I make the space to express my truth, when I hold back I notice that I am not in appreciation of myself and all that I bring.
Nature can reflect to us such honest messages that are little confirmations of how we are living. This is a very beautiful scenario that played out for you. And as long as we are open to reading what is shown to us, this can help us to appreciate where we are at.
How divine is it that nature can perfectly reflect to us where we are in that moment. We all have the ability to read this as you did it is just a case of allowing the truth of where we are at to be revealed to us, for us to be honest enough with ourselves to feel the truth and to have the awareness of our surroundings and what is happening.
I’m always inspired by people who keep consistently beating their wings no matter what is going on around them. I can often experience this walking in the dark, and when I sense danger is possible, there is a choice to keep my rhythm and keep my steadiness or freak out and rush, and the second feels awful. Maintaining a steady beat in life is so important.
When we show ourselves in full we are showing the world the absolute truth of who we all are in full. As the light of the Soul lived without hesitation, is a reflection the Divine light we are all equally from and here to live.
“The starting point to this is first appreciating myself for who I am and accepting that my truth is worth claiming.” The more we accept and surrender to our bodies the more we are able to appreciate and knowledge where we are at. I have found listening to my helps me to appreciate what is really going on with me and around me.
When I allow myself to feel that I am in the right place and at the right time I can feel like I can fly from tree to tree. The energy that I use to use or go into allowed self doubt and that would run my life. How simple life has become by allowing the space to see and feel the next tree already exists. So I get less and less distorted by out-side influences! All thanks to the presentations by Serge Benhayon.
It seems to me that we are constantly being offered reflections by the world around us – reflections of our choices in life, reflections of our potential and confirmations of the truth of who we are. It’s quite a ‘read’ if we care to look.
I love the amazing reflections that God is constantly offering, there is magic around us to pay attention to, signs that confirm us on our path or remind us that we are veering of course. All signs however are deeply loving, we simply need to choose to see them.
A great example of the reflection of truth in nature. Thank you Christina. What we do with that reflection is what leads to the next one.
I agree Christina, self doubt and negative thoughts are poison to our bodies and just as harmful as a physical attack.
The starting point to this is first appreciating myself for who I am and accepting that my truth is worth claiming. This is such an awesome starting point Christina, and knowing that our truth is worth claiming, can escalate us into a deeper more wise part of ourselves, that we have long forgotten but can easily connect to with that trust.
Everything in life is continuously supporting us to be and express all we are, taking notice or ‘reading’ what is before us opens up a deeper communication and relationship with all aspects of life. There is magic in every moment when we live with this awareness.
This is very beautifully confirming Christina. Every time there is a step toward truth we can feel it in our bodies and it is confirmed in and around us. Nature’s reflections are truly stunning.
Beautiful. For the first time in my life I am finding myself able to ‘hold steady in my self’ even when things are going on which would have previously cause me to react or disturb me.
I felt for so so long that I was just “surviving” but I didn’t know what it took to remember how to really “live”…
Now that I am learning to truly commit to myself and to life and to care for myself with consistency I know it is about developing a steady foundation so that no matter what is pushing on me from outside I am able to stay who I am, able to stay loving and open in this world.
I love this Christina – “And the gift to me was to understand that when I spread my wings and show myself in full, I might get attacked and it can seem very dangerous, but I can make it “to the other tree.” I am strong enough to keep flying and the attackers will disappear.” It was perfect for me to read this just now as I also have not shown myself in full all of the time, exactly like you said out of the fear of being attacked or ridiculed, however I have also learnt holding back serves no one, it is the manner in which we show ourselves and all we are and hold that will make the difference.
How glorious it feels to spread you wings in full flight and fly with all the confidence knowing who you are.
So glad you posted this again, Marty, I feel my wings lifting already…Theresa
Absolutely stunning and an important lesson for us all. If we keep on flying and don’t hold back, that helps us stay steady and is a reflection. Reading this has been a great reflection for my life also, and not seeing potential attacks as ‘attacks’ but rather see that things come from a reaction or from truth.
Absolutely Martin I agree with your every word, hear hear!
“The starting point to this is first appreciating myself for who I am and accepting that my truth is worth claiming” – I agree, appreciation is the key.
Yes time and again – appreciation for who we are and claiming it, no matter what.
I love the little messages from God we receive constantly. Just yesterday I found a beautiful delicate little yellow flower on my windscreen. It was just starting to open its petals, which is exactly how I felt as I too begin to open up to the many wonders and joy’s learned in life everyday. Thank you Christina.
How important it is to read everything around us, nature gives us so many reflections. What I am finding when I allow myself to connect truly to my stillness I am able to read so much more that is going on around me.
Beautiful Christina, your words this morning remind me to see that we always continually have a choice. We do not need to fix or go into what seems to be our issues or the strife. We can fly and soar in the sky and maintain the magnificent grandness that we are like any Eagle, simply by remembering we are naturally clear and here to enjoy life.
We all know what we bring and its about connecting to that truth, when we come with that solidness nothing can get in or generate through.
Great reminder Amita, thank you – to stay solid within our felt truth and you are right, nothing then can come through that is not part of that truth.
‘If the eagle had let the crows disturb his wing beat, he would never have made it. He simply kept on moving…’ With the dynamics of the world around us today as it is and the challenges and curve balls that constantly come our way, our daily lives can literally feel like we are getting crow pecked all the time. But what I loved about your blog Christina is that it shows us how important our innate rhythm is and how when it is held with consistency and grace this strength holds it true no matter what is going on around us.
A great reminder that all around us there are signs and tellings from nature that we can be helped by. Quite often we would like to have an answer to something and I think the answer is closer that we think. Basically it’s within us but sometimes nature can give us a helping hand. Thanks for the lovely sharing Christina.
The major reason that we often do not feel strong enough to express the truth in certain situations and feel vulnerable to attack is that our lived foundation is not strong enough, for if it were, we would realise that there is no-one that can diminish what you live. Sure, they can make life difficult on the outside, but they can never diminish your connection to the grandness of your own being if that is something you have claimed in full as your lived way.
I have found that getting distracted always leads to some sort of catastrophe.
“And the gift to me was to understand that when I spread my wings and show myself in full, I might get attacked and it can seem very dangerous, but I can make it “to the other tree.” I am strong enough to keep flying and the attackers will disappear.” Wow, what a gift you received in so many ways, and all because you chose this morning to speak up regarding what you felt was not right during your conversation with your friend. What an amazing sight it must have been to watch that eagle, that was a gift in itself, but then the realisation of the message that you were being given by the flight of the eagle, such a great confirmation for you that you have learned to read the messages you are being sent. When we trust what we feel and express what we feel lovingly, it is amazing how our lives can change. How important it is to trust what we are feeling and be willing to express what is needed.
Gosh, this is so darn cute! A beautiful experience that you have shared Christina. And, very powerful, including this line “…..like self doubt or negative thoughts (which in my eyes have the same power as attacks from others)” – I had not seen the self doubt and negative thoughts I choose as the same as an attack from another but it actually is. Awesome new clarity, thankyou.
‘Not getting caught up in battles with others, or battles within, like self doubt or negative thoughts (which in my eyes have the same power as attacks from others)…’ This is such a great point Christina and I totally agree. We are our own worse critics, well, we choose to allow thoughts through that can rob us of our natural ability to appreciate and love who we are. And to cover this up, we can easily blame it on the world and think it is other people that make us feel this way.
The eagle knows what it brings and appreciates it – this is a mighty reflection of how we can be with ourselves. There is always going to be attacks, from ourselves and others, but it is our own appreciation of who we are, our greatness and Godliness that will keep our rhythm in honour of life.
I love nature for its simple messages and confirmations, the kookaburra that has such a joyous laugh that begins my day with a reminder to bring that joy into everything I do. The stillness and surrender in nature is tangible and I feel the reflection in my body, the look of unconditional love in my dog’s eyes is a reminder to also be that. The list goes on and we are also part of that reflection for others.
Christina thank you. Appreciation allows the fullness of who we are to expand and radiate out, such an important part of claiming ourselves.
The self doubts and self attacking are equally as pernicious if not more so to us. Staying with the beat of our own true rhythm or coming back to it when such things occur is so important. It is a loving consistency which holds one steady.
As you say Christina, the battles within from self doubt or lack of self worth are no different to an attack from outside and have the same purpose and that is to withhold me from spreading my wings and give expression to my glorious being in full.
What a beautiful blog Christina, a wonderful example of spreading your wings and expressing in full. I love what the magic of God presents to us if we are open to observing, appreciating and listening, as you were. Thank you for sharing your experiences and your wisdom.
I realize that it makes absolute no sense to hold myself back because of the fear ‘what will happen’. In fact I have no idea of ‘what will happen’, but to give up on what is truth for me makes everything, no matter what, worse.
Appreciation of ourselves is the way forward in our evolution as it allows us to know who we truly are and that we don’t need anything and anyone can just simply express and be who we are.
Connecting to our truth and expressing it in full is challenging for some who don’t appreciate the reflection of another for it exposes the lack of responsibility in their lives. Reflections like this need to be celebrated for the healing they offer us.
“The starting point to this is first appreciating myself for who I am and accepting that my truth is worth claiming.” it is so important to appreciate ourselves for who we are and to claim our truth. Something I have been working on.
Being open to the magic of God in nature and the lessons forthwith is such a gift. The awareness, openness and wisdom you express in this blog Christina is very beautiful and powerful, thank you.
Christina there are many gems you share here, but one in particular spoke to me very deeply ‘If the eagle had let the crows disturb his wing beat, he would never have made it. He simply kept on moving his wings.’ – rhythm and consistency are important and if we allow ourselves to be pushed out of our rhythm many attacks will succeed, but in staying with our rhythm they can’t. It was great to read this today as a reminder that no matter what is happening in life it’s about staying connected to and maintaining my own rhythm, or a wise man often say, to breathe our own breath.
Walking in the fullness of who we are, creates an unease in others as it exposes the comfort they have chosen over living their true selves.
I love the analogy of the wing beating in rhythm to keep the eagle a flight.
For without the constant beat, the bird would have fell.
Showing us the power of consistency.
Magic way in which you have shared your blog so much wisdom and insight to the way we all should read what is going on in and around us!
I love the fact that so much revelation came from an observed moment that probably lasted all of a few seconds. That is true magic.
Magic indeed, and I am sure it’s around us all of the time. To be observant and open to receiving it is paramount to gaining access to all these revelations that are so close to us.
Another beautiful example of the magic of nature and the messages it is continually offering us. Unfortunately many of these messages are not received as we are either too busy to stop and observe, or as is becoming normal these days, we are walking with our heads down distracted by various mobile devices, while life and its magic passes us by.
Nature can be a crystal clear reflection on the water if we are still enough to not disturb this reflection by creating ripples, then we are constantly blessed by it. Thank you for the reminder to move in a way that does not ripple for those messages wait everywhere to be found.
Thank you Christina for a really beautiful blog reminding me to stay open and pay no heed to the attacks I perceive might come, but to claim my truth held in my inner heart, in full.
“The starting point to this is first appreciating myself for who I am and accepting that my truth is worth claiming. Claiming my truth is claiming my rhythm – just like the beat of the eagle’s wings”.
Very beautiful and inspiring Christina; isn’t it wonderful the lessons nature continually send us, if we are open to listening and observing; as you were.
“Not getting caught up in battles with others, or battles within, like self doubt or negative thoughts (which in my eyes have the same power as attacks from others”. I find these self negating thoughts much worse than anything anyone else could say or do to me and find it interesting that at times I’ll accept these thoughts and allow them passage and yet would never allow another to speak to me in that way.
Beautiful Christina, you remind me that when we are always safe when we express in full without reaction.
I so love how nature is always there, holding, supporting and encouraging us to live as grand as nature its self.
It is to our great loss that we only see the physicality of nature when we look outside. What of wonder? What of the harmony it presents to us every time we stop to listen? If nature teaches us one thing it is that there is a timelessness to life that persists despite our determination to see it otherwise.
Awesome blog – very symbolically. Shows us that everything that comes our way is actually showing us more than we can at times realise or want to see. As per above is shown that animals, nature, people can show us our way forth – how to live in the quality of each day – simply reflected in this case by nature. It is just opening up to these messages…
“Learning to fly again” is a very beautiful way to describe how it feels to claim ourselves back from the doubt and concern or fear of attack. The absurd part is discovering the self-attack that can be put in place as protection from an external attack. This is a complicated and exceptionally painful and limiting way to deal with what essentially is fear based on imagination. There is no fear in our heart when being all of us, it just takes a little flight practice and we are able to soar with grace.
Great point Christina we can get caught up in battles and negativity with others but also get caught up in our own issues and end up interrupting the flow of our own rhythm in life by judging ourselves or others or feeling it is not our place to express. I keep coming back to your picture of the eagle and its flight and how each beat of its wings has purpose. We can tell when we are moving in this way with purpose and when we are letting other influences get in the way.
Currently I am sitting with how I have not expressed truth and what that means and I have to say I have been not keen to know, it’s something I have closed my eyes to, so that I don’t have to feel it’s consequences. I am learning step by step that not only is it ok to speak the truth, but also how important it is. More than important though, it’s actually a responsibility.
I am learning that it is worth expressing truth regardless of the consequence. Even if you get attacked and don’t make it to the tree, the consequence of not expressing truth is far more grim than the consequence of any possible attack.
It is not only that the consequence of not expressing truth is dire, but the joy and harmony of living and expressing truth is full and complete in itself.
Others only attack when we speak truth if there is a wont on their part to avoid responsibility.
When I re-read your blog again this morning Christina I was struck by what you said about not getting caught up in your own internal battles. So often we can focus on the attacks from others but do not focus enough on the ways in which we attack ourselves with self-doubt, self-criticism etc. We have to have a loving internal landscape first before we concern ourselves with the outside challenges. The stronger and more harmonious the inner landscape is the easier it is to deal with the outer.
Christina,
Thank you dearly for sharing this beautiful reflection that nature offered. It is truly powerful when we come to the place you have here in your understanding of the true power of being ourselves and sharing that with all in the world. Something that I am deepening every day, and I really love how the Eagle never missed a beat, no matter what came at it. A great learning.
“it is essential to stay focussed and not get distracted or involved with any attacks…” Brilliant observation. The moment we get involved – emotionally or in any other reaction, we lose our flow, our wing-beat. I love this image. The steady, strong,powerful, rhythmic beat of the eagles wings cannot be touched by the inane flappings of the pesky crows.
I loved the power, grace, rhythm and majesty painted by the story of the eagle in perfect flight and the wonderful example this provided when the attacking of the crows did not eradicate these qualities. We do not have to cower or lose our way in the face of opposition or attack. And I know a great inspiring real life example of this – Serge Benhayon who after 3 years of the worst kind of cyber abuse and lies by about him, his family and his business, he has not once backed down from being the most understanding, honouring and loving person I have ever known, or held back sharing his awareness in a way that supports everyone to keep deepening the love that they live.
‘The starting point to this is first appreciating myself for who I am and accepting that my truth is worth claiming.’ Beautifully expressed Christina and very true, when we play small and hold back our truth everyone misses out on the opportunity to grow and evolve.
‘Claiming my truth is claiming my rhythm’ this is deeply inspiring Christina. To live and express truth in full no matter what comes at us is very powerful and deeply supportive for us all. Our rhythm hugely supports us in every way to live and express who we are and bring truth to our every movement and expression. Your blog is a great example to express truth regardless of what may be attacking us, truth expressed in full is evolutionary for us all.
‘And I feel blessed to have regained the ability to read life from my inner heart, to open up for life and people: learning to fly again.’ The more we read life the stronger we become in knowing truth, and as a result we become steadier in our everyday life.
Thank you Christina, for sharing such a beautiful experience, the magic of God is all around us if we have said yes to see this heavenly support. I love this line “The starting point to this is first appreciating myself for who I am and accepting that my truth is worth claiming.”
The things that we can learn from nature are profound. The magic of God is all around us if we dare to receive it.
What a beautiful reflection to receive and learn from Christina. We can all learn from your reflection, because I for one, know that I can still hold back from opening up my wings and speaking the truth for fear of it not being received well. What a powerful confirmation you received that speaking the truth does not have to be feared. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Natures reflection is so Divine, it comes at the right time and will never impose anything upon us, just reflecting back to us what we need to learn. It is beautiful to read what you share here, and get to feel that it is for you as it is for all of us, seeing that we never should be afraid to be attacked when we are ourselves in full, heaving a steady beat of love going through us, not needed to hold backi
It is important for the future wellbeing and integrity of our society for us all to stop ‘… getting caught up in battles with others, or battles within, like self doubt or negative thoughts…’ that plague our modern day society so we can rise above the emotional reactions that only serve to feed the vicious circle of these battles all the more.
“The starting point to this is first appreciating myself for who I am and accepting that my truth is worth claiming.”- Definitely!
Yes, I too have been appreciating myself more – the inner qualities that are innately me, and in doing so I am freely expressing more from truth. And this feels expansive and empowering.
What a gorgeous reflection to recognize the strength and power of spreading your wings in full and staying unwaveringly steady in flight. A great reminder to live the enormity we possess, in all our glory.
“The starting point to this is first appreciating myself for who I am and accepting that my truth is worth claiming”.
Such a critical and essential starting point Christina, thank you.
I have found that when I hold back my truth I contract in my body as I make myself smaller. I feel regret and frustration in my body as i did not express what was there to be expressed.
I am learning that when expressing my truth i cannot harm another but both of us are less when i hold back.
It is crazy that we choose to make ourselves smaller… not only denying the world seeing the beauty of who we are in full but denying offering them a reflection that they too are more than what they choose in playing small.
Well said Samantha, there is a great responsibility in the reflection we offer to others, it is so needed and people are desperately looking for it.
I could appreciate that since the last time I have read this blog I have built a stronger foundation within me with the knowing of my own power and that I can handle even challenging situations.
Thank you for this sharing Janina. Sometimes I forget that I am actually handling some very challenging situations and to appreciate that I am meeting these and gradually learning as I go.
Learning to fly again, what a beautiful thing for you to appreciate and experience Christina. Thank you for sharing your search for truth and highlighting the teachings of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine.
Appreciation, rhythm, steadiness, these are all key words to our survival – observing the world and staying connected with ourselves no matter what comes our way.
Returning to this blog, the imagery and its message it still so powerful for me…appreciate that my wing span and power is what I have and can offer others.
Dear Christina it was great to come back to your blog today. I still have fear come up when expressing from my truth. Yesterday whilst doing my comments I very suddenly became quite constricted in my throat and then felt faint, I pulled myself together and didn’t want to acknowledge it and carried on. Reading your blog has enabled me to address this again, feel my body and not to ignore myself.
‘Not getting caught up in battles with others, or battles within, like self doubt or negative thoughts (which in my eyes have the same power as attacks from others), will support me to find, and keep, my wings beating…’ Thank you, a timely reminder this morning, Christina.
This is great to understand that attack can come from outside of us or from inside/ourselves (“like self doubt or negative thoughts”) and it is both energy which wants to stop us from living in the fullness and beauty of who we are. Just the one from inside is less obvious or direct. So something to be very careful about and to stop straight away any thoughts which is not full appreciation for ourselves or others.
Thanks again for sharing Christina, I love coming back to this blog, it is a beautiful reminder of the power of reflection that nature is offering us constantly if we are willing to read and to see what it is teaching us. ‘A teaching from Heaven’
I very much agree Annelies nature is indeed “‘A teaching from Heaven’ once we open up to read it.
A teaching from heaven indeed, as is all of life, if we choose to see what there is to truly see.
Thank you Christina, absolutely gorgeous blog. Great wisdom in all but especially noted this read: “Claiming my truth is claiming my rhythm – just like the beat of the eagle’s wings”. Claiming truth is not about trying to prove anything, it comes from an inner knowing based on the way we are living. It is great to be reminded of this, everyday.
Just absolute gorgeous to read this. Thank you for sharing.
“Claiming my truth is claiming my rhythm – just like the beat of the eagle’s wings”
I love what you have written here Christina, for me the analogy and reflection is very strong.
The strong flow and rhythm the eagle has, shows how when we build our own foundation we have something strong to support us when we come under attack.
Building our own foundation easy and steady going just like the wings of the eagle, no need for hurry but ongoing.
It is great to remember that no attack can truly hurt us.. and we can only make it seem so by losing ourselves and enjoining into the drama that is unfolding.
Thank you Annie for this reminder that no attack can truly hurt us, when we stay in our rhythm as Christina has shared here there is an opportunity to become more of who we are in the moment we feel attacked and to not shy away of the truth we feel.
thanks Christina for sharing this truly awesome blog, and such clear insight and power that we have in our hands should we choose to appreciate the gifts that God shares with us every instant.
Your blog exposes the nature of comfort. Comfort to stay safe, to not be attacked, picked on or scorned at. What is the great error here though is that we make the comfort of being safe seem more comfortable than the claiming of our true truth where simply this is not the case as if we are not claiming our truth we are living an absolute lie
“And the gift to me was to understand that when I spread my wings and show myself in full, I might get attacked and it can seem very dangerous, but I can make it “to the other tree.” I am strong enough to keep flying and the attackers will disappear.” I too have held back my truth for fear of being attacked Christina, but what I have recently learned is that attacks may come our way but it is how we hold ourselves steady from within that will make the difference. Connecting to our hearts holds us and will allow us to fend off attacks which may come our way. That is a truly beautiful gift.
Christina, thank you for writing this beautiful story – it reminds me of what happens every time I step up – I attack myself – I go into self doubt, eat numbing foods and get totally distracted. Staying steady, not missing a wing beat is definitely the way forward.
I agree Carmel. Developing and committing to consistency – like the beating wings of an eagle – is definitely of enormous support and the only way in moving forward.
I agree Carmel, we can be our worst attackers of our own light! and this more than often as a way of not feeling the power within us and the responsibility that comes with it.
Whilst this is a work in progress I also feel blessed to have regained the ability to read life from my inner heart.
Like you Christina I have enormous gratitude, appreciation and love for Serge Benhayon, a beautifully divine absolutely inspirational man.
This is such a beautiful blog, I feel it shows so super clearly that there is no need to hold back, as all that can happen is some inconvenience, but when we don’t stop it won’t truly affect us. And that all being reflected through nature, we are getting an amazing support, constantly.
‘Claiming my truth is claiming my rhythm’, this is beautiful Christina. Falling out of rhythm is something I notice I tend to do when I stay away from my home in another’s space. What you have written sheds light on a missing link to holding my rhythm and that is claiming my truth. I can feel how interconnected they are for my rhythm is my living truth.
Christina this is an incredible blog that I have enjoyed coming back to. It holds much evolution for me as I am one who can quiver on a flight of truth allowing an opening for the crows to swoop in. Your blog explains the message so clearly, hold your truth and nothing can touch the love you are.
Unshakeable, kimweston2! You address it so well: “hold your truth and nothing can touch the love you are”. This is it. It is not about blocking someone out, but about knowing who you are and not set any beliefs or demands in front of your inner knowing and let self doubt sneak in. On our way onwards there are lessons to learn and they sometimes come along with hurtful experience. But that’s something different to getting distracted by someone. You’ll feel the difference. And: I can choose anytime to see the evolutionary aspect in things – or stick to the hurt. It’s all choices.
A stunning summary Kim… ‘hold your truth and nothing can touch the love you are’ – I love that… an evolutionary choice based on an unwavering steadiness reflected to all as a blueprint of how to be in life.
When we have arrived at an agreed level of comfort in our relationships – be it with a partner, friend, work colleague – it can feel confronting to raise up the bar, as it points out exactly where and how I held back the love and truth that I could have shared with them previously – and this is just on a personal level and scope. Just imagining how much truth has been held back and compromised in the entire history of mankind because the fear of attack – which used to be very real and physical and meant life or death in the past, and still in certain part of the world – it is quite sickening and really makes sense of the world as it currently is.
You words touch me, Fumiyo Egashira. There is point that is confronting.. And I am just confronted with it. That’s the deepening asking us to either align or jump off the train. And as everything: it takes simply a choice. Love or get eaten by everything that is not love…
To be in comfort in relationships is for us to choose to not look at whats next – and this is totally avoiding the responsibility of what is possible rather than being open to what the opportunity is.
Yes, holding steady when there is a lot of distraction around can be interesting, but knowing that that’s all it is and we can choose to stay within ourselves and not get taken over by it, is an extremely powerful choice to make for ourselves, and one that totally rocks.
Yesterday I spent some time in the city and felt the crows in the form of all the “Christmas” distraction. There was so much visual and sound stimulation. It was great to see it as such and be able to keep to my rhythm by honouring what I felt to do.
Being able to expose things in that way, simple and in stillness, is a majesty that sets us free. To not react to how the things are but read the truth behind it allows us to feel and see the world as it is – from an observing point of view. Lovely observation, Simone Lewis!
“…not swapping from one love or truth to another but just accepting more of the same.” Word! That’s what it is about, isn’t it! Not being something new or someone different, but being more of me. Simply by expanding myself through acceptance and appreciation: two beautiful ways of being love. Thanks Leigh.
I love this example of how we are being communicated to all of the time and how there is so much for us to be aware of. Expression is indeed everything, and to express in full and not hold back is in itself true medicine.
I was very good at not expressing, and am on a journey to speak up more and more, especially to family.
It is something that has turned around relationships and made me so much more appreciative of the voice I have always had.
And it brings out you being more you and therefore much more surrender and steady in you, isn’t it? And that’s power! That’s what the eagle represented – you simply need to keep moving steady and keep spreading out. Amazing you, hvmorden.
There is great and undeniable power in the simplicity of surrendering to the steadiness.
Thank you Christinahecke – I have also felt extremely supported to speak out to others who are learning to do the same – with no judgement or reaction. So I’ve been able to have very real and honest conversations with my partner and my family simply because they are also open to the truth rather than the sugar coated dialogue. I find that when we do speak up, and it is taken on board, it supports the other person hugely to look more deeply into the situation, and read what is going on for themselves. So you see – honesty has this beautiful cycle of supporting everyone.
its true hvmorden, we are so used to seeing ourselves (falsely) in our chosen form of contraction, holding back, giving our power away – when all along we have a grandness, power, and majesty beyond our current willingness to be aware of.. and as the eagle portrayed, it is enough to keep our rhythm and not give in to the petty distractions and dramas, or vile attacks that the world may continue to throw at us. It will not matter what the attacks are, because inside we know we have everything it takes to make it. Our job is just to remain steady in who we are.
Yes Annie it is a game we seem to play with ourselves and each other. We have graded one another on intelligence rather than the naturalness of who we are first – and this caps us completely. To remain true and steady to this changes everything, and is then a reflection for all others.
I agree hvmorden, committing to true expression in full is great medicine, allowing for deeply honest relationships and enormous healing from saying what is there to be said and learn from. To deny another or even yourself this development is a great disservice to all involved.
What a gorgeous reflection you had from the eagle Christina. What is so lovely is that you did not dismiss the message it brought, but saw it as confirmation for where you were in life. Nature has such a graceful yet powerful way of communicating with us if we are able to stop for a moment to take in and appreciate the message it brings.
It is indeed graceful and so so unimposing Alison. It is to tune into the subtle, graceful yet clear and powerful messages that nature leaves for us all the time.
Having held back expressing all of my truth in the past, I too am leaning to see how important it is to share all of me and not be afraid to do so. Even if there is an attack I too will and am capable of standing firm in my inner most self. The World needs all of us, not just some or part of us, we do all have something to offer that is unique to us, a part of the puzzle or bigger picture of life. Thank you Christina for your sharing.
Roslyn, it feels like as long as we seek absolution and recognition for what we do and say from others we are in the trap of of the game. We then are possibly deeply affected by attacks – that’s why we avoid to get attacked: and hold back. But right at the moment when you start claiming you as instance No.1 no attack can break you down. They do hurt – but the will rush through you – not affecting you. And yes, we feel that it hurts – but the hurt doesn’t own you anymore then.
Reading of your experience Christina has reminded me of how much nature communicates with us. Right at this moment I can hear many different types of birds outside in the trees whistling and calling. It reminds me to see the beauty in everything around me and to not get caught up in the doing and busyness of life at the expense of missing what is right inside and surrounding me. Thank you.
It’s a joy to live life in full with everything that is needed to be done AND seeing the messages that are constantly given, isn’t it?! I have just moved in a new home and a pigeon is coming every morning to the same place – reflecting me consistency and brotherhood to live in and with. It’s not to look for these things but to joyfully feel when aware enough to see and read these messages. That’s the confirmation.
What I love about your blog and your sharing is the absoluteness you express with. The messages we get from nature and all around us are often not seen by people but when you see them and read them there is so much offered to us to learn from.
It is healing to talk about nature in this way. So much of my life has been about nature on a visual and functional level but hearing the messages natures presents gives a much fuller, truer and whole perspective to what is truly going on
When we read life we are constantly being reflected and confirmed the wonderment of who we are.
I couldn’t ‘t agree more Helen. Nature communicates with us constantly and it is magical when we are aware of its sharing and the joy and learning they bring.
“The starting point to this is first appreciating myself for who I am and accepting that my truth is worth claiming.” This particular line stood out for me. Stepping up into new situations and claiming more love and more responsibility is something that I am being faced with. But the key here is ‘more’ love and not swapping from one love or truth to another but just accepting more of the same. And the messages that come our way to confirm that we have said ‘yes, my truth is worth claiming, yes I am love’ can come in so many ways like you’ve shared Christina. Those messages then are just an outside reflection of what has occurred within, how cool is that!
Gorgeous Leigh – I can feel the power within your claim and that is beautiful to feel – and inspiring us all to do likewise. As you say when we are confirming what we have lived there is a strength and sense of wonderment that at last we are coming home to our true selves. Life has an amazing way of offering us so many opportunities to change old patterns and these come in many different guises. It is for us to feel into them and take the action that will build a more sustainable way of living life that reflects our true essence.
The light of standing up for and speaking the truth can attract attackers and we have witnessed this in the way Serge Benhayon, his family and Universal Medicine have been attacked. The quality of energy working through people is a choice and no matter who it happens to, it is up to us to feel truth and hold steady, speak up and not allow ourselves to be pushed ‘off course’. The confirmation you received Christina is there for us all everyday, to live and speak the truth no matter what may present as a result.
“..to live and speak the truth no matter what may present as a result.” That’s worth living. The shut down existence of the self-made cage built with pleasing, seeking, demanding, hoping, denying, ignoring, expecting etc. is breath taking. It’s to me the much healthier way of living – to get rid of the cage and walk free and open through life on a daily basis.
Thank you Christina, for the timely reminder to stay focused or consciously present, and to also to keep feeling those magic moments that God shares all the time.
Thank you for being open to respond to this truth.
The starting point to this is first appreciating myself for who I am and accepting that my truth is worth claiming. Claiming my truth is claiming my rhythm. Your words here Christinahecke, is where I find myself now, learning to trust in my rhythm and learning to bring my authority to my lived expression. What you are talking about here is connection to our sacredness, our stillness, innate in everyone, as this connection, connects and aligns to all things. Within the rhythm of stillness is a deep love that my mind cannot fathom, but my heart joyfully wants to join in its rhythm, its dance of boundless love, and nature is totally connected to that dance. If we claim our rhythm and express it in full, then we all fly like the eagle in sync with the all. So beautifully expressed.
Precious words you are giving here. The best thing is that once connected to the inner heart – which is possible instantly – there’s no trying or doing needed. It’s simply a surrendering to the rhythm of the all.
And special thanks to your inner heart who has always known this truth! We are equipped from day one – we have just been giving up on this for many reasons.
This is a beautiful sharing Christina. Eagles are Majestic and if we could see ourselves in the same light, our lives will be as amazing ! We have an over view of life too if we connect to it, thanks to the teachings of Serge Benhayon and the Ancient Wisdom.
‘Claiming my truth is claiming my rhythm – just like the beat of the eagle’s wings.’ Beautiful analogy and reminds me of the breath in my body, my lungs and my heart, the preciousness of my breath that is the power of my life here on planet Earth.
The true beauty is, that there is never a state of “being lost” because our breath is constantly 24/7 with us until the last one. This solid partner is always a chance to get back and reflect.
‘To me this was a teaching from heaven, a reflection for me to contemplate’, – everyday God is sending us offerings via nature to confirm where we are at, always loving us. A beautiful message which has opened up so much for you Christina. Thank you for sharing.
“Because I’m afraid of being attacked for expressing the truth”. This is one of the biggest hurdles for me, but one that is beginning to unfold as I fully accept that I know and feel God, and know who I am inside and out, that we are all the same, and if I don’t express, the other person and myself are held back from evolution.
Wow! That’s honest. In fact you are saying: “I’m using the possible rejection to not go and express myself in my whole responsibility.” Life is not about us. It is about us and everyone else equally. So not expressing is also – as you say – a missing for the one you are with.
It’s great what you and Matthew have both said – to fear attack for being honest sounds like a very contradictory statement – and yet so true of many of us. It’s time to change this perverse way of living and to feel the empowerment of speaking our truth, which as you say christinahecke is us taking responsibility for our part on this planet. ‘Life is not about us. It is about us and everyone else equally’. As we claim this we are allowing ourselves to embrace the whole of life as we come together living our ‘one unified truth’.
In fact this is what we have learnt to deal with: leaving responsibility aside, blaming others just to be one of a kind (family, group, class etc.) But aren’t we in truth all the same, gender, nationality, age, political orientation.. Aren’t these thing we actually hide behind?
“He simply kept on moving his wings. I saw this as a confirmation in understanding that it is essential to stay focussed and not get distracted or involved with any attacks… to focus and move on”.
A wonderful symbol of the eagle and the crows; what a very powerful message.
How amazing is the magic of God!
The magic of god needs two to happen: the one who sends it (which is god constantly doing) and the one who is receiving it (which we are constantly able to do). It is the free will that makes it happen by choosing to read the messages from the heart.
To know that beautiful messages, like the one the eagle brought you, are there waiting for us in every moment is something so awe inspiring, but at the same time it feels so very natural. Unfortunately so many in the world today are too busy, too distracted, too exhausted etc to take the time to stop and receive the wisdom that is being offered; it is as if the messages are invisible to their eyes. I love how you took the time to watch, feel and connect to what was being offered to you.
The starting point to this is first appreciating myself for who I am and accepting that my truth is worth claiming.
This is where I find myself at the moment Christina, letting go of the patterns of self judgement and allowing my true expression to come forth. Re-reading your beautiful blog has put wind beneath my wings and lifted me, which I will take with me today.
“I know that I am a person holding back my truth, what I truly feel or see, because I am afraid of being attacked for expressing that truth.” This was so true for me for many years, I used to hold back my truth in fear of being attacked. Now as I have claimed my self love and my inner strength, I stand strong in expressing my truth and am no longer in fear of being attacked, as I know my truth is solid.
I really like the underlying message you recieved from the Eagle, to not hold back expressing truth. Thanks Christina.
What an amazing example of knowing your power and staying with that power, the eagle has landed!
Keep on gliding, be steady and consistent and yes as you say “I am strong enough to keep flying and the attackers will disappear.”. A great gift in the symbol of the eagle and crows, thank you for sharing it.
“I know that I am a person holding back my truth, what I truly feel or see, because I am afraid of being attacked for expressing that truth.” I can so relate to that Christina, for most of my life I have held back from expressing my truth, but am now expressing it more and more. The more I am willing to do so, the easier it becomes, to build a consistency is key to this. As you used in your analogy, to not be distracted by fear of being attacked, but to forge on to complete what has to be completed. I love how you received your message of confirmation through the magic of God, and the beautiful soaring eagle.
Christina I love what you’ve shared, especially today ‘The starting point to this is first appreciating myself for who I am and accepting that my truth is worth claiming.’ I feel how important this is and how when we do this we set ourselves up with a rhythm which allows us to walk and talk our truth. Rhythm is key, to stay focussed and keep flapping our wings exactly as needed no matter what.
I would add Christina, that when you spread your wings and express in full that others may admire and be inspired by this. Thank you for sharing.
That would be a positive side effect I am absolutely sure about! This is just not the focus on why we should change our ways. That would be very harming – to both!
That’s so true Lee – there may be attackers but we also need to remember that there are others who are indeed deeply inspired when we speak our truth.
Yes, Deborahmckay when we dare to speak our truth with grace and beauty we usually feel a sense of claiming and a freedom for at last being truly true to ourselves and our deep inner knowing.
Beautifully expressed Christina, it is indeed time for us all to spread our wings and fly without letting any distractions to lose our own rhythm.
And to bring the grace and power and beauty of us all in expression. That is symbolic of the wingbeat offering a reflection of the power of rhythm. The individual rhythm is the expression of the soul talking through the body.
Reading your blog again Christina, I am reminded how powerful we are and that we are able to deal with what everything that comes our way with no perfection but learning every step we go.
Ain’t that relaxing – looking at the fact that we are not perfect opens up everything to “learn with every step” as you said, Janina. Trying to be perfect closes down the possibility to do things a new way.
If we don’t try to do things perfect we are able to do things we might not have done before or are new for us to do. How great is that!
This is a beautiful confirmation Christina and a timely reminder for me as I am experiencing some similar things at the moment. Thank you Christina.
I saw this as a confirmation in understanding that it is essential to stay focussed and not get distracted or involved with any attacks… to focus and move on.
Christina what I got from your blog was how if we stay in complete truth we are unshakable; we leave no room for disturbance as we fly in all our glory. Our light can only be shaken if we allow a hole to open.
“Our light can only be shaken if we allow a hole to open.” What you offer here, Kimweston2, is the beauty of self responsibility. It is everyones own choice to go for love or anything but love. The body knows the difference.
“And the gift to me was to understand that when I spread my wings and show myself in full, I might get attacked and it can seem very dangerous, but I can make it “to the other tree.” I am strong enough to keep flying and the attackers will disappear.” And what a gift you have given to humanity, Christina, in sharing your experience with us all. It is so inspiring to know that if we forge ahead being our true selves and expressing from that, and do not let ourselves be distracted, we can do whatever it is that is there to be done, no matter who or what may be trying to attack us.
Christina, reading your article and other articles on the many blog sites that students of Universal Medicine contribute to, I can feel how common it is that people hold back their truth. It seems to be the ‘norm’ in society that we are all holding back from expressing what we feel to express through fear of being cut down, laughed at, upsetting others. I can feel that we have all created a world that is based on not expressing truth and that has somehow become acceptable, ‘I know that I am a person holding back my truth, what I truly feel or see, because I am afraid of being attacked for expressing that truth’.
“And the gift to me was to understand that when I spread my wings and show myself in full, I might get attacked and it can seem very dangerous, but I can make it “to the other tree.” I am strong enough to keep flying and the attackers will disappear”.
This is very beautiful Christina and a wonderful reminder to spread our wings and express what is truthfully there to be said. Thank you for your reflection.
“The starting point to this is first appreciating myself for who I am and accepting that my truth is worth claiming”- great point you make Christina.
And to not allow negative thoughts to get in.
“If the eagle had let the crows disturb his wing beat, he would never have made it. He simply kept on moving his wings” – what a beautiful reflection and inspiration, thank you Christina. The steadiness and focus of this eagle are a great example and offer a very profound insight into how to live life.
That is the beauty of the all knowing inner truth reflected here. We are so used to looking on the outside, letting ourselves get effected by actions, situations, expectations etc. that we have lost listening constantly to the inner heart speaking up according with every interaction or influence but claiming it’s own truth/ rhythm/ love – name it! If there shall be true connections with others, it is essential to listen to that voice!
“Claiming my truth is claiming my rhythm – just like the beat of the eagle’s wings”. So beautifully said Christina.
I love this story, what you were being shown and how beautifully you interpreted it. It has helped me be more aware of all the little signs going on all around me that I could quite easily have missed.
I agree Christina – self doubt or negative thoughts can be as destructive is not more so than another’s words.
It is just more “easy” to blame others for attacking us then looking at how we are with ourselves or others. Because it could mean to change comfortable ways and expose behaviors we are deeply anchored with.
Christina, I love that the eagles represent an opening up of the inner heart – the ability to trust in how you read life. It is something you have always had and are now coming back to.
What a beautiful reading Anne. You are right – it is and always will be the truth of the heart being able to read the world. Not only what we see, hear or get. It’s ways grander, deeper and can’t be tricked!
Beautiful Christina, to see more clearly to not get caught up in the attacks that are happening all around you and any from within, but to hold steady, claiming fully your truth .
Thank you Christina. When reading your words what came to me is that I still have a notion to look at myself critically and often take that what comes towards me, which is not in harmony, as my fault. Your reading of the eagle and the crows is simply gorgeous, there is so much strength and steadiness, no doubt, only heavenly determination.
This really stood out to me today – “Not getting caught up in battles with others, or battles within, like self doubt or negative thoughts (which in my eyes have the same power as attacks from others)”. Your eyes see the truth – I think it is vital that we see that the way we speak to ourselves in a harming way is equally attacking as it is if it comes from someone else. If we all saw it this way, we would be indignant and outraged and be on the case to bring to a halt. Thanks for the reminder. I will be more loving with my thoughts today.
Today one of my friends said to me that she was looking forward to meet up with me and some other people. As I was cooking later on I really let in that she genuinly wants to be around me. As I looked up I saw a buzzard sitting on a post reflecting and confirming the power and love that I am. At that moment I cried and let in how much I do (too!) belong. With my head I knew, but now I could feel the Magic of God at play – confirming me. What a lovely feeling. Nothing special in the sense of fireworks, but definitely very special.
It may not have been a visual firework – but energetically it must have been as you describe it. These moments are magical, still and powerfully expanding – as if the universe was felt and lightened the heart, stops the time for a second and blows you away with it’s beauty – a very silent awesome explosion.
The eagle flies where we do not dare to go – in the absoluteness of truth. Touching this space is touching God, for in it we remember who we are and why we are here.
wow Lianne, this is beautiful, thank you.
This reminds me that fear is just our own creation. Fear full thoughts will try their best to hold us back from being the greatness that we are. Yesterday I felt one of these lingering fears about not being able to be in a certain place alone in the dark. I knew that really there was nothing that could hurt me but my mind was still making up stories if I let it. I had feared the cold and the ghostliness. As it happened when I mentioned going there to someone he said he was going earlier in the day and would put the heaters on for me and even light a fire. When I arrived the place was so warm and welcoming and he was even there too for a little while. I had gone there because the internet connection was good and I wanted to connect to the other women in the Sacred Movement group that I belong to – the connection at my house not being strong enough. The session was amazing and I felt that not only me but the place – and any spirits in it – benefited from the experience too.
What a gift you have shared with us all, Christina, “And the gift to me was to understand that when I spread my wings and show myself in full, I might get attacked and it can seem very dangerous, but I can make it “to the other tree.” I am strong enough to keep flying and the attackers will disappear.” This is so beautiful, I just had to come back to this blog again and re-read it. Wonderful to read that you had expressed something that needed to be expressed with someone, and were then shown this beautiful reflection through nature, such a beautiful eagle, wings outspread. I have had several encounters with an eagle flying around my back yard, it is truly amazing. But what a message you were given, yes, we may be attacked for expressing the truth, but yes, keep flying and the attackers will disappear, this is so inspiring to me also. Consistency is key to life, fly on regardless, do or say what is necessary, with no fear of consequences, so long as we are connected truly within and express from that place.
Very tender words Beverley.. Yes: it is the acceptance of the fragility and the strength in the vulnerability that truly open us up for ourselves and others. In the acceptance lies the power to observe, to not let us get involved and keep on moving – even if it hurts.
Christina, thank you for such an inspiring blog, a truly beautiful sharing of an amazing experience for you. We are truly blessed to receive these great messages through nature, the key is to be aware and open to seeing the messages that are there before us.
Agree Beverley, when we are “aware and open to seeing the messages that are there before us” the Magic of God becomes alive!
Christina, what an amazing reflection from nature and God showing us all that when we claim ourselves in full ( spread our eagle wings) – nothing can stop us from shining the light that we are all from, no matter if we get attacked on the way, (the crows trying to stop the eagle from reaching the tree).
I too feel joyful to “say that I have found true reflection for what I have ever felt to be truth in the teachings of Serge Benhayon. ” Serge Benhayon is truth all over and that’s what he emanates and reflects to all. In this reflection he inspires everyone.
The eagle in flight is breath-taking. I love the analogy you have used here, to also see someone else in full flight, wings spread and no holding back is beautiful. It can be confronting as it brings up where we have held back but we can choose to be inspired by this and also hold ourselves with the same strength no matter what.
The powerful truth I got in all this and by the reflections of all this beautiful comments to my blog is: we are constantly everything. We only choose to make everything that is can’t unfold in full. We choose to stick to our hurts that weaken us, we choose to hide, we choose to let our minds be the leader of the day. It’s simply choices to not live our full and the beauty of our hearts.
“We are constantly everything.” That is worthy of going on my refrigerator door!
Yes, Naren! Go to the fridge and bring it on!!! Can’t wait to read from your truth***
I love coming back to read this Christina. This stood out for me this time around, seeing the eagle “as a confirmation in understanding that it is essential to stay focused and not get distracted or involved with any attacks… to focus and move on”. We can very easily get stuck in our stuff, not move on, stay in our reactions. I can so relate to this. But being able to focus on yourself and move on, is a very simple but key thing to learn and take action on.
This is the first time “self-loving discipline” is something that makes sense to me. It is always so simple. It is only a choice ahead to return to focus and move on.
So true raegankcairney. Not getting distracted or caught up in another’s reaction is as important as not reacting ourselves. Reaction only serves to delay what is there for us to do.
So very true Lee, beautifully said.
“Claiming my truth is claiming my rhythm – just like the beat of the eagle’s wings”.
I just love what you have presented here Christina; hence I keep being drawn back to your blog; so many messages and reflections, so much wisdom.
… and so universal!*
It has such a beautiful sound “Claiming my truth is claiming my rhythm – just like the beat of the eagle’s wings”, as the beautiful word. So much wisdom in some simply words.
I agree Amita I love this line too. Each time I see an eagle I feel deeply blessed. Sometimes I hear them screaming which is a sign to connect back with myself and nature.
Just reading those words allows me to feel the beat of the eagles wing in my heart. So beautiful.
Your awesome blog Christina, highlights for us, the power of God and how nature and everything is a part of everything and that we are all connected to the everything there is. Having these beautiful reflections from heaven is absolute gold. I love that you shared your experience Christina, very lovely to read and feel the truth of in me.
I love to listen to people’s stories like these. When they tell me things beyond the obvious. And it’s pure joy to start expressing like that too.
Love this, Julie, “Having these beautiful reflections from heaven is absolute gold.” Christina’s experience with the eagle was certainly a wonderful gift from heaven, quite amazing. And just yesterday, I had just been given a beautiful hair session, wash and cut, then blow dried, from a fellow esoteric student, and we were saying goodbye just outside her door, when a butterfly flew between and around us both, moving on, then coming back again a couple of times, it too felt so profound a message from heaven, the feeling of harmony between the two of us was palpable. We are so blessed to be receiving these messages through nature.
It’s such a blessing to have these messages and confirmations from nature. But wouldn’t it be wonderful if we made it our daily way to recognise and appreciate these special moments that happen in ordinary ways, without those messages. Anything on top of our appreciation would just be the icing on the cake.
Agree Beverley, we are indeed “so blessed to be receiving these messages through nature”. However it is a blessing that is of our own choosing when we are open to and accepting of the fact that Divinity communicates with us continually throughout nature. It is only since meeting Serge Benhayon and attending his presentations that I have become aware that I already knew the language of nature but up to that point I had shut myself off from this communication even though I loved being in nature. How different is it now – once we allow and are open to the messages / lessons that nature provides, a whole new world opens up!
By surrendering to ourselves and expressing the love we have from the heart to us first – appreciating and honoring ourselves – is the straight way to have access to stillness in action and with that a connection to the beauty of symbols around us. In nature or numbers or what ever way*
Yes receiving these little love notes from God through nature’s magic is a blessing for us all and they happen all around us, all the time.
“I feel blessed to have regained the ability to read life from my inner heart, to open up for life and people: learning to fly again.” This is such a beautiful way of expressing the way of living that has been inspired through the lived example of Serge Benhayon. Thank you Christina.
As we do all know the truth deep in our hearts and we are able to read everything, we have just cover more or less immense the fact. And thankful for us there is someone speaking up to remember, giving a word of true reflection. You name it: Serge.
Christina this is beautiful and a great reflection and knowing of the magic of nature and the magic of God constantly around us bringing appreciation and joy. Expansion, spreading our wings and a knowingness all felt from your sharing with love and very inspiring thank you.
So divinely said Tricianicholson.
I agree tricianicholson .. that the magic of God is all around us in nature… It’s always there but we don’t always appreciate what it offers, and for me, this blog is a great reminder.
The fact that you can lovingly feel the truth in this sharing is a lovely respond to your soul. The fact that you honor this, is honoring the all. Just as I did. It is an openness to the beauty of the connection between everything in this world and far more than that…
I agree, the magic of nature and thus of God brings us so much more than we are currently aware of. The appreciation is always there and the joy you mentioned Tricia is something I feel daily in seeing the trees, the clouds in the sky, the birds, all in nature is there for us to en-joy.
I love how nature is just right there confirming and supporting us. the Magic of God. Thank you Christina for reminding me to look for this confirmation.
Add appreciation and automatically the gaze for Gods messages widens and with that allowing us to connect ever deeper to truth. Thank you Christina, your flight is awe-inspiring.
I was reminded of a similar message recently. I saw a crow being chased by a bird half its size, as if this small bird had been sick of being bullied. The crow was surprisingly veering away. It was a reminder that we have the strength to stand up against abuse.
“Claiming my truth is claiming my rhythm – just like the beat of the eagle’s wings” By living to the beat and rhythm of our own inner hearts we naturally align to the beat and rhythm of nature and are in harmony and at one with the universe.
I deeply loved and resonated what you have shared here Christina. I also loved “The starting point to this is first appreciating myself for who I am and accepting that my truth is worth claiming”. We have all lost the confidence within to speak our truth no matter what. No matter what is thrown our way, but to be claimed in who we are and what we bring, to not hold back. This feels the only way to be, but if we don’t at time, its ok, just clock when that happens, come back to why there was a holding back and learn from it. Having love for the process of us claiming back and speaking our truth.
Thank you Christina, for sharing your beautiful experience with the magic of God, showing how by claiming yourself and not holding back you can fly like the eagle.
We are all ‘learning to fly again”, by spreading our beautiful wings and not holding back from expressing in full.
Yes – expression in full is what it is about. I love the symbolism that you so eloquently read in observing the eagle and the crows. It’s yet another example of the magic of God – and how we are always offered the learning in that moment that it is truly needed. Great article Christina…
What an awesome message from nature you received Christina.
How beautiful that by being openhearted and connected you were able to receive this wonderful gift from God.
Yes Lorettarapp, nature and God are talking to us all of the time and only needs our awareness of that fact to stay open and truly see and feel what is there reflecting for us.
Yes, Julie, it feels so beautiful and simple as is everything that we are offered by God. To know that we no longer have to try and that all we need to do is to remain open allows us to expand and feel the whole wisdom and wonderment that is surrounding us in any moment that we make contact with God.
We all have our very own trees to get to in our daily life – thank you for inspiring me to know that each crossing may be hazardous but I am strong and God and Heaven is with me in each and every flight.
God is always reflecting the messages to us, its so powerful and confirming when we see them.
What you have shared here Christina is so powerful.
“If the eagle had let the crows disturb his wing beat, he would never have made it. He simply kept on moving his wings.” There is such absoluteness in this choice that the eagle made, that is didn’t even feel like a ‘choice’, but rather a ‘given’ – from the absoluteness of the power of the bird and what it knows in its activity (in this case, ‘flying’).
I am reminded of Serge Benhayon’s teachings with the modality of Esoteric Yoga, and how through a consistent and committed presence in and with our bodies, we can remain with ourselves.
Even when jealousy, attack, and negativity comes our way, we can remain steady and absolute in the way we are with our bodies and our movements. Whenever I feel challenged, it is this that I ever return to. And I know that in this, the power fuelling my own wings only but grows the stronger, and more absolute, in itself.
Beautifully said Victoria.
Thank-you Margaret. This connection to a sense of ‘absoluteness’ is something I feel I am just truly getting to know. And were it not for the profound work and teachings of Serge Benhayon, I do not feel I would have been able to reconnect to such a knowing within myself and foster its way in my life. We are blessed beyond measure, to have such teachings so readily available, that support our own innate reconnection to all that we are and live it in such a way in this world.
You certainly spread your wings wide and express in full here Christina in this beautiful piece of writing, blessing and inspiring all who read it.Thank you.
Thank you again Christina for the reminder to keep reading life from my inner-heart and not just with my eyes or ears. The messages we are receiving each day are revolutionary and evolutionary when read in this way.
Trusting in ourselves like a young bird jumping from the edge of its nest for the first time, knowing it can fly… and then just flying, spreading our wings wide and feeling absolute freedom of trusting ourselves whilst exploring all the marvels our wings do take us to, gliding through life with the strength and grace of an eagle.
I love this Christina. Such beautiful and clear expression of the power of maintaining the consistency of expressing truth and not holding back even in the face of attack.
Yes absolutely Jonathan. A consistency ‘no matter what’ – that can be chosen and lived in our expression and confirmed in the way we move our bodies. As an immensely wise man shared with me a little while back (in the face of jealousy and attack coming at me quite vehemently from others), “flinching is so last era”…
Sure, we all have our hurts to deal with, and there are things that do hurt – but do we ‘flinch’ and thereby fuel what is not true, or hold ourselves steadfast in the knowing of being aligned to love…
I love these confirmations from heaven, and yes, ‘it is essential to stay focussed and not get distracted or involved with any attacks… to focus and move on.’ As you say appreciation and accepting our true selves is vital.
We need to take responsibility in all areas of our life to evolve into our full divine potential, closing all open doors which might lead us astray and bring interference into claiming every day more of who we truly are. Spreading our wings with full power and beauty.
Great point, Janina. I love how you sum up every part, as it is the entire ME that I express and live from.
Those moments when you surrender to your truth without holding back, then you get conformation from God, is pure divinity in action.
I truly appreciate your blog, for your beautiful expression Christina, but also each time I read it I deeply feel the strength and beauty of the eagle in flight, and it confirms that, like yourself, when I spread my wings and keep flying and the attackers will disappear.
And even if they do not appear, you/ we/ I have the strength to move on. Sometimes we are heavily attacked and it seems impossible to move on. But there is more strength in love then we could ever imagine!
‘The starting point to this is first appreciating myself for who I am and accepting that my truth is worth claiming.’ If I appreciate myself and accept what I know the truth to be is worth sharing then self-doubt and other self-sabotaging things I tell myself will not gain entry. This a is great reminder .
Not only a loving discipline but honesty with our hurts are great assistants to shut the open doors for “self-doubt or other self-sabotaging things”. That’s the beauty of constant evolving, constant surrender to the love we truly are.
I remember an eagle by the side of a road in the country, just sitting there, perched on a fallen tree branch and holding my gaze as I passed – what am I choosing? What are we choosing?
Stunning Martin – “nothing can distract us when we’re focused on flying home”.
This is such a simple, yet profoundly powerful image to sit with, thank Christina for sharing it.
Great sharing Martin, thank you – and much to ponder on here.
Lovely blog Christina thank you. I feel it is very wise to see that the attacks we make on ourselves are just as powerful as those that come from others – and maybe more so in fact. I feel that it is the hurts I hold onto within me that allow others to apparently hurt me, so it’s great to have this awareness and to work on our own stuff. In a sense when we hold back our expression so we don’t get attacked, we are in fact attacking ourselves!
I would absolutely agree with you here. Our unresolved hurts are the door openers for “unlike guest” to enter, such as comparison, demand and expectations, protections, frustration etc.
Great point Richard, “I feel that it is the hurts I hold onto within me that allow others to apparently hurt me”. It is an easy trap to fall into. One much like anything else in life, if you go out looking for it, you’ll undoubtedly find it. Some days I have to sit back and laugh because until I take responsibility for myself and take the time to work out why I feel as I do, life seems to rub salt in those very wounds. Understanding that there is an opportunity to heal these hurts has helped me see the humorous side.
I love this story Christina, I am one who is learning to express more than ever before but still not able to go that bit extra and express all that I am, so this blog is very supportive in that it confirmed even more, that if you are expressing in truth there is no need to be afraid of being attacked.
I recall sitting by the grand canyon, just back from the edge to feel safe, and a moment occurred as other tourists departed leaving me with silence all around looking over that amazing landscape. Just at that moment an eagle floating on the updraft of the canyon, rose up straight in front of me, must have been ten metres away. It was not needing to move its wings and stayed there for a while, just floating, reflecting to me how it was powered by stillness. A moment not to forget!
A moment where even no movement was needed and support (the air) simply kept him “flying”. What a beautiful and transferable observation, Simon!
“Powered by stillness” – what a great description and observed truth, reflected by the magic of God.
What an incredible image Simon. It was not needing to move, just floating, powered by stillness, a truly beautiful reflection for all, and an Thank you.
Simon Voysey, this is such a powerful image. Please write more on this – the power of Stillness reflected in the eagle before you (and share with me when you do – we can publish… ).
No pesky old crows are going to stop the majestic power flight of this eagle. I love it, and I love your blog Christina and the comments that are following. It is empowering to sense the commitment and focus of the eagle to hold steady and not allow his wing beat to be disturbed. Really, this line is everything, as it brings so much awareness to our own choices in each moment, where we can choose to get thrown off track and let the pecks of life affect us or we can keep moving forward, in rhythm of what feels true, allowing us to remain in the expansive fullness of our own grace. Who needs to get caught up in the battles of the day when you can ‘get your eagle on ’ and soar through each moment with focus, power and beauty.
Lovely comment Emilia and in particular the line ‘remain in the expansive fullness of our own grace’ sings to me deeply. Yes, no falseness can truly affect our true essence but it is for us to choose it and ‘hold steady’ as you so rightly say. Thank you.
Very beautifully said, Emilia! The power of awareness, observance and trust is immense. If we but only allow control to be no longer part of our way, we have a change to focus on “‘get your eagle on ’ “.
Great, “get your eagle on” – meaning to stay focussed and maintain the rhythmic and harmonious beat of one’s wings, no matter what.
Beautiful aritcle Christina, this highlighted for me the fear of being attacked too. But what I could even sense from this is that by playing small (because of fear etc.) I allow myself to be attacked even worse and I actually harm myself from holding my wings closed (they are not made for this position). No one’s wings. Just like the eagle needs to fly and stretch his wings, I have to do what I need to do and shine bright.
Thank you Christina and Danna, I agree, lets all stretch our wings and play big.
After reading through many of the comments on this blog, I felt impulsed to say another huge thank you. There is so much inspiration in what is being shared here. Huge appreciation Christina for sharing with us what you felt on that day.
Thank you, Anna*
Thank you Christina, your sharing confirmed much of what I have been feeling lately – how getting involved or distracted by attacks from outside (or attacks from within) is all the same drama that only serves to keep us from living and sharing the truth of who we all are.
Thank you Christina a beautiful reflection on the offerings and magic of nature. I read this again today and felt so much more about the importance of flying in ones fullness and not letting any distractions and attacks from both outside and within get in the way, for even a single moment affects us and we can lose our strength, fullness and ability to fly and reach our destination. The representation of the eagle is very powerful and truly beautiful to feel.
“Claiming my truth is claiming my rhythm – just like the beat of the eagle’s wings. Not getting caught up in battles with others, or battles within, like self doubt or negative thoughts (which in my eyes have the same power as attacks from others), will support me to find, and keep, my wings beating… and furthermore, allow me to fly, observing the world, able to go from A to B with all of me, no matter what comes my way.” I just love this. It is so true and something I can post in my house – for right now this feels so supportive. Thank you Christina Hecke.
I can say the same Elainearthey, I can also put this up in my house to remind me daily and use this support to stay true to my self. Thank you Christina – awesome blog.
Thank you Christina and Elaine, I feel so many amazing reflections, like the conscious presence of the eagle and not being ‘distracted’. This is such a simple example of how to not get lost in what is going on around us!
I can feel that the eagle here is not ignoring the crows; it is just so committed to truth there is no need to flinch or self-doubt. What I learnt from this blog is that if I indulge in self-doubt I am allowing my attackers to get the better of me.
Thank you Bernard – this is a timely reminder for me: “… if I indulge in self-doubt I am allowing my attackers to get the better of me.” As I am in the middle of a massive attack at present, I will now continue to consolidate and confirm me in all that I am and give self-doubt and the like a boot out the door …
Great comment Bernard, I really love that, ‘so committed to truth that there is not need to flinch or self doubt’ – all of that is just a stepping away from our connection to truth, but the more we recognise this, and the stronger we develop our will, love will prevail once again!
Thank you Christina and Bernard, as you so plainly state, to hold our true power ‘no matter what comes our way’ is a key to true connection.
I had not considered how our own doubts and negative thoughts carry the same weight of destruction as an attack from another, but that they certainly do. Thank you Christina for a beautiful article on how powerful we all truly are.
Beautiful Christina, standing up and speaking the truth can sometimes feel awkward or clumsy but when it comes from the heart – the support from God is amazing. The eagle is a powerful symbol and as you reflected, you need only to hold your course and the big picture of which we may not be aware – will unfold as God intended. Your comment – ‘And the gift to me was to understand that when I spread my wings and show myself in full, I might get attacked and it can seem very dangerous, but I can make it ‘to the other tree’ shows that you are always held in God’s loving embrace and that nothing can harm you.
A simply gorgeous sharing Christina, and these words, “The starting point to this is first appreciating myself for who I am and accepting that my truth is worth claiming”, very much relate to me also. Your beautiful symbology of the eagle in flight, staying steady and with itself, helps me to see that I too can fly like the eagle with purpose and hold solid in the knowing that I am strong enough to keep flying and sharing my truth as there is much great wisdom to be shared.
Beautifully claimed and shared Julie Chung – “I too can fly like the eagle with purpose and hold solid in the knowing that I am strong enough to keep flying and sharing my truth as there is much great wisdom to be shared”.
Thank you Christina and Julie, what a joy to ‘learn to fly again’ from the ‘inner heart’.
This is so awesomely pure and encouraging…”And the gift to me was to understand that when I spread my wings and show myself in full, I might get attacked and it can seem very dangerous, but I can make it “to the other tree.” I am strong enough to keep flying and the attackers will disappear.” Deeply felt! What an incredible truth!! And gift from God.
Yes I agree Irena, it is very beautiful what Christina has offered us here.
I absolutely agree Irena, this blog is awesomely pure and encouraging and very deeply felt.
Deep appreciation to you and Christina for highlighting the magic of, and gift from, God.
Yes, Irena, I so agree. I have always allowed the eagle to hold me back – but as I gradually deepen my commitment to myself I am realising that there is in my essence a seed of power that will grow as I encourage by expression and letting go of comfort.
This is such a beautiful analogy of the Eagle flying with wings spread wide and a beautiful visual to take into my day reminding me to speak out when needed and knowing there may be reaction to truth but I will not be harmed if I remain in truth.
This is so true JY “I will not be harmed if I remain in truth”…it makes me realise how much we harm ourselves by NOT speaking our truth, and instead holding back everything that we are, which not only keeps us in separation from each other it stops us from evolving ourselves.
I’ve seen what you described about the eagle myself recently at the beach; I enjoyed watching the Eagle just effortlessly change his flight path, aware of, but seemingly undisturbed by the crow trying to knock him out of the sky. May we understand the symbology as intended by each magical act of God – staying in our power regardless of what tries it’s best to reduce it.
Amen! Especially staying in our power.
I had worked in a place on a bit of a hill that had Red Kites that are a lot like eagles in the way they fly or better description, glide through the air on the wind. I watch a crow continually try to attack it, as they do by trying to dive at in the air. The Kite tried to ignore the crow while it was looking for lunch when it decided it had enough and flipped upside down as the crow attacked from above and tried to have crow for lunch. A few feathers were lost by the crow and it retreated. I had watched force attempting to attack power. There is power in being our selves and nature shows us tolerance.
This is expressed beautifully and I feel it says so much about how Serge Benhayon supports others in equality “He stands up for what I can sense is truth but still keep holding back. And I feel blessed to have regained the ability to read life from my inner heart, to open up for life and people: learning to fly again.” I also am learning how to fly, with my own wings and it feels amazing to feel that sense of freedom and soaring joy.
Thank you Christina for sharing your awareness and a confirmation of the ever present love our father has for us if we but take a moment and read what is being offered for our evolution.
When I realised that God was constantly talking to us in this way it allowed me to rediscover a deeper intimacy and love of God through the reflections in nature. A knowing I remember having as a child so naturally.
“A knowing I remember having as a child so naturally.”
I can relate to that so deeply. Sad to feel that I had made choices to ignore that natural connection – but at the same time amazing to return.
I came back to your blog today Christina, because the image of an eagle flying is so captivating. That I would dare to fly, with wings spread wide, and express in that way, being all of me. A beautiful image, that inspires me to stop the holding back.
The heart is wise and so are you, if you only listen to*
We choose by free will whether we align with the universal truth or not. Could it be that holding back is in fact a rejection of our inner hearts knowing, of universal truth?
It is an utter rejection Christinahecke, yes I agree. We deny God and our inherent Godliness when we hold back.
The vast majority of us have done so, and so it’s great to read your blog and how deeply it confirms us in staying with what we know without doubt to be true – whatever may come.
Could it be that it is to understand ourselves first, why we deny the majesty of god, of us being part of it? Only then do we truly have access to change our ways in full and stop holding back.
This is, no surprises, the perfect blog for me to read this morning. It’s amazing and inspiring. For me, the most pertinent detail is your reading of the Eagle maintaining its wing beat – its rhythm, and that, through that, the attacks were not able to throw it off course. Thank you.
Yes I agree Otto. It is that steady and consistent wing beat that determines the rhythm of our own lives, and which will support us to stay on track no matter what. This is a beautiful reflection from Christina’s blog about the magic of God that is around us all day everyday.
I too had a similar experience, where a Kite was hovering above the middle of the road waiting for my car to get to it, then it flew with my car for several seconds and veered off. Pondering what I was talking about at the time, I realised it was a confirmation of my feeling on a subject and a choice I’d made which I happened to be expressing to a friend. Miraculous!! Straight after that I saw 4 chooks free from their pen. A confirmation of my new foundation in my commitment to life.
I Love how we read the perfect support for us at just the most supportive moment. I found this blog super supportive also and the symbol that is communicated in this love letter from heaven is undeniable – hold our own rhythm, do not invest, do not need anything from those who allow the crows through – and do not be thrown off course, just take it all in a wing beat. Love letters from heaven, delivered through nature are a blessing that is worth tuning into and reading from our heart.
I love the ‘returning’ nature of your words. Amongst the chaos and motion of today, it is beautiful to be reminded of the stillness of nature and the foundations of this wisdom. As I head in to a super busy day, it is a real gift to have these words with me. As with everything – perfect timing.
Awesome comment ottobathurst. It is very simple but it made me realise that if the eagle would loose its rhythm and would stop moving his wings it would fall like a stone would. This is an great reflection of what I do often and that is lose my rhythm and then struggle after that. Reading that it is as simple as staying in rhythm to keep flying is a revelation.
To read the teachings from heaven are a confirmation of what we already know. They just remind us about the forgotten truth we are all made of. So honoring the beauty of the wingbeat of the eagle is by everyone who commented on this a reconnection to the truth deep within. That’s the beauty of sharing with another, of reminding us forever and always – no matter who delivers it – where we truly come from, what we are truly made of.
Back round again, and it was always there. Like another blog about Love Letters From God, it is our choice to see this magic, and allow it in to our lives and to be inspired, led, nurtured, blessed by it. This is huge for me. Opening myself up to this stuff. Too often, the blinkers are on, the head is down and the drive is driving. It is such nourishment for me to read these comments and to let them in to my heart and body. When I was younger someone once told me that you only see how beautiful London is when you walk with your head up. And it’s true, the tops of the buildings are amazing with some incredible craftsmanship and detail etc…Well, this is like a massive extrapolation of that. We only see how beautiful life is when we open ourselves up to it.
Gosh. That is an interesting question. If we took the blinkers off the horses what would they see?? Or have they had their blinkers on for so long…?? That really challenges me, because it exposes that there is so much more to it than just taking the blinkers off. Frankly, anyone who has heard even a few words of Serge Benhayon speak and experienced the exquisite wisdom of the Way of The Livingness, has had the blinkers taken off. But that still doesn’t mean they are free of their burdens, hurts, baggage (or anything else they have loaded in to life’s carriage). The choice then becomes ours. Sure we may be able to see it, but are we actually going to allow it in, to live it?
This may be over-stretching the metaphor but what amazes me about myself is that even though I’m crazy thirsty for the ‘water’, I still sometimes resist drinking. We say we are free, yet how free are we when a simple life-saving act like drinking the water when we are thirsty is resisted? What I am seeing at the moment is that as soon as I even think about whether to drink or not, I am lost – just don’t engage with the negative thoughts and do what we KNOW is the truth. Drink the water. Let the love in. Let it in and let it hydrate my whole body.
Martin. What you have shared here is something spectacular. Ginormous. As ever it has arrived on my doorstep with impeccable timing. The correction to my comment is so absolutely crucial – what you have out-lined is a trap that I spend a lot of time in (do you know Heffalump traps? – they are from Winnie The Pooh – they are set right in the middle of the road, are actually very easy to see and extremely primitive but a Heffalump is not a very ‘advanced’ beast. They are quite deep but I always got the impression that they’d be extremely easy to get out of if the Heffalump was able to give it a moment’s thought – anyway, i digress). Your correction. As soon as we are considering whether to drink the water or not, we are already in separation, thus it is a piece of cake for the ‘what is not’ to pour into our minds and life, and keep us away from the water. As you have so majestically and clearly explained – the point is that we don’t even need to drink the water. The water is already inside us. Yes there is some merit in being led to the water – which offers (quite literally) a reflection for us to see ourselves ‘in’ the water and thus the water in us. But we do not need to drink. Fabulous. My day’s pondering is in place.
It our our consistency that establishes the rhythm to which we move. The steadiness of our love lived becomes the tune to which we walk, guided by the beating of our hearts. Once this is established, it becomes very difficult to be knocked off course, no matter what may be strewn or throw on our path.
Thankyou Ottobathurst and Martin for your exquisite dialogue here. So many gems…
Our hearts and the eagles wings beat the same tune. The tune of Love.
Christina your blog is beautiful and a lovely reminder to stay focused, and not allow our wings to be disturbed or ruffled by what ever life may throw at us. With thanks and a huge appreciation to Serge Benhayon and the Hierarchy, I too am learning to fly again.
The most beautiful thing about this is to feel the fact that there is nothing – absolutely NOTHING – that can destroy the love we hold deep within. The love we are. Everyone equally.
Thank you Christinahecke, I felt to read your blog another time today because of the clarity and the power I feel in your words. And this comment is a confirmation of our power, I feel your words going straight to my heart. How wonderful it is to learn to fly again.
Hear Hear Christina, absolutely nothing. It is only we who have the choice to deny it (or not).
Thank you Alison and Christina, I love the way you portray that “claiming your truth is claiming your rhythm, just like the majestic beat of an eagle’s wings!”
“The starting point to this is first appreciating myself for who I am and accepting that my truth is worth claiming.” Yes we all have so much gorgeous lived wisdom to share with the world it would be a shame to keep it to ourselves. Thank you Christina your reflection through nature shared here is glorious.
Yes, this is so confirming. I know the other day a leaf fell from a tree in front of me. I could have said, it’s autumn so what but I paused to feel. I felt it’s fall was so graceful and I felt the magic of God is in everything, is in all of us and when I live the simplicity of this truth I am sharing it with everyone I meet as a walk.
I felt I don’t have to wait for the big sign posted moments when I accept this magic is what we live in daily. I can choose to be aware and connect or not – though when I don’t I do get those moments that say hey wake up!
Those ‘wake up’ moments are magic for me, Karin, its like God is saying ‘ hey, I miss you being with me, come on back’.
I felt I don’t have to wait for the big sign posted moments when I accept this magic is what we live in daily. Lovely comment Karin. The magic is there with us everyday to see and feel in so many different ways when we are open to it.
That is such a powerful quote, Kelly. Thank you for bringing my attention to it!
We are part of the all. The all is inside our inner hearts. Therefore: if we accept ourselves first and start to love us as this part of the everything, we are straight on the way to accepting and loving the whole. Observation is a key to not get emotionally involved and accepting myself to be who I am and allowing others to be exactly like me: imperfect, and on the way. All it takes is an energetic integrity.
Nature can reflect many truths and from with our hearts we can read the message.
Thank you Christina
This is so true. There are so many lessons we can learn from nature.
I love this Abby and Nicole. I am really starting to appreciate the messages from Nature (God) all around me, and I have noticed that the more I appreciate, the messages are coming more frequently and more clearly. I have a new found love and openness with nature that is truly beautiful.
Beautifully said Nicole, thank you.
I have also noticed, Anna, the more I appreciate Gods messages the more frequently they appear. Appreciation of the wonder and magic of God that surrounds us, allows us to see and feel it more clearly.
There is in fact a constant reflection happening and the heart knows to read it all. It is just on us to get the mind out of the way, which tries to understand everything only though haptic or logic ways.
This is so true Christina. Our hearts have an amazing capacity to read everything that is in front of us and more, but we so often override this and let our minds get in the way which then pulls us further away from our true connection. But the more we become aware of the messages from nature that are there for us to see every day, the more we are sent and the more amazing they are.
Yes Nicole my feelings exactly. The magic of nature reveals so much wisdom and appreciation of who we are and what we bring every moment of the day.
Do not hold back, claim ourselves in full, even in the face of situations that may not appear as evil or direct attacks toward us, claiming our rhythm and our strength is what gets us to the other side so to speak. Nature speaks 1000+ words in even the simplest of things!
“..even in the face of situations that may not appear as evil or direct attacks toward us..” That to me is something I still have to learn. I don’t want to see the evil when it’s knocking at my door. This blinding action is opening the door for any kind of destruction…
That’s true christinahecke. I would say that most of humanity do not like seeing evil. I know for one that it is not nice to feel and see the extent to which we have allowed it to be in our lives
Is that what’s frightening us? To see that we have allowed evil in our lives before? So to be frightened is then a trick to avoid feeling the what is?
Yet it is causing greater harm to not be feeling the evil, the wake up call to see the extent of it is an expression of love.
Beautifully said, Joshua! It’s a wake up call not a frightening thing. Even if it appears to feel too scary: what scares us most is the result of our own choices. Cause it needs to take the responsibility for it – days with loving choices: but not with any other.
Christina what a joy to read your powerful and well claimed blog. It showed how nature is there for us to reflect the grandness we are and that nature supports us whenever it is needed – and that the only thing is that we have to read it – wunderbar!
Each time I read this beautiful blog I am deeply touched by your wisdom and expression, thank you for sharing Christina.
Christina, I love coming back to your blog as there are so many messages for us be reminded of – the magic in nature, not holding back from expressing truth, appreciation, the power that is there when we spread our wings wide and express with all that we are and as you say ” to fly, observing the world, able to go from A to B with all of me”.
Thank you Doug, this is so important to claim.the unwavering, not for a moment doubting our own power, our connection to what is true is so important, otherwise we can so easily wobble and then pfff! we get snatched by a crow or almost snatched. It keeps coming back to appreciation for me and an absoluteness of who we are that we don’t walk away from.
This is very beautiful Christina, and I can very much relate. I love what you say about what the key is – to appreciate ourselves, and in so doing to appreciate that our truth, what we feel is worth claiming and expressing. That’s definitely the way. I’ve found that if I bash myself for having done something that didn’t actually feel right, or for not speaking up, I put myself into a spiral which takes me further down lack of appreciation. Without appreciation as a solid foundation we can fall back on, expressing our truth can be much harder.
Without appreciation as a solid foundation we can fall back on, expressing our truth can be much harder. This is so true Katerina. That solidness of our own self loving support and appreciation speaks volumes when it comes to holding steady at those times when the little voices try to sneak in and knock you off kilter.
This is beautiful Christina, thank you for sharing.
Yesterday I was driving on the motorway and it was raining strongly. At some point my car was slipping a bit too much to the right side. I observed myself my own steadiness and strength dealing with that situation. I did not panic or get anxious but knew what to do.
And this confirmed me again that I am capable to deal even with challenging situations with the knowing of my own power and strength.
“I spoke up for what I sensed were the reasons for some things not going quite so well. I addressed my observations of others, and myself.” This is a great observation within itself, how often in life when things don’t seem to be going so well do we blame others and not take responsibility for ourselves. This is so refreshing to read that you were willing to observe, not critic, your part in it as well.
Beautiful and so true. When we step into our power there is no turning back, no question of all that we are and all that we are capable of. It is a knowing that is hard to be wavered by another.
‘it is essential to stay focused and not get distracted or involved with any attacks’. I like the way you describe the eagle continuing to fly when being attacked and seeing this as a sign that we should trust our own strength and just keep on moving to reach wherever we are going.
That is exactly what there is to focus. The attacks get worse with every step towards love.
There are so many messages in Nature, it’s beautiful when we can see them.
It is absolutely true that Serge Benhayon does not waiver on the truth that he feels in his body and as a result he has built a life based on choices which honour and confirm his connection to his Soul. This is felt by others around him as a universal quality which also lives within us – love that is.
It is true that we can loose our own rhythm if we react to the attack or reactions of others and it is a great reflection from the eagle to hold ourselves steady, holding true to our own rhythm.
Beautifully said Sarah and when we hold ourselves steady it reminds and inspires others with the awareness that they too hold that same rhythm within equally.
Yesterday I was on a train to Somerset to attend a retreat at the Sound Foundation held by Chris James. On the train on the way down I was consumed by self-doubting thoughts about whether I should be attending, for different reasons. I asked to be shown if what I was doing was truth. When I arrived, I followed the impulse I had to go for a walk around the lovely Lighthouse grounds and I felt a sense of being right where I needed to be. As I strolled, a strange sound came from the sky. I looked up to see a swan flying quite low, it’s wings outstretched and its long neck straight as an arrow. The sound was coming from its throat as it flew around the lake and off again. I felt it to be the confirmation I asked for.
So no flappin about and soring with the eagles… Love this.. it’s a great reminder of how it’s possible to keep going even if you feel there’s something going on
That is the beauty of free will: we are always and constantly moving. It is simply a choice in which quality we are doing it in.
Thank you Christina what a profound reflection, thank you for sharing. I too have held back my truth in fear of being attacked, but I can feel the ‘trust’ and ‘truth’ in our rhythms and in God, that have been reflected here.
What a gorgeous little example of all that is on offer to us when we spread our wings and focus on our own path through the sky. The ‘reading’ you did on nature and what you therefore realized at that point was extremely profound and beautiful universal lesson to share with us all, thank you Christina.
Christina, a rhythm that allows us to “go from A to B with all of me, no matter what comes my way” is definitely a rhythm that is truly supportive. As you say, “self doubt or negative thoughts” can bring us down if we allow it. It has also been my experience that when building a true rhythm, “the starting point . . , is first appreciating myself for who I am and accepting that my truth is worth claiming”.
‘Not getting caught up in battles with others, or battles within, like self doubt or negative thoughts (which in my eyes have the same power as attacks from others), will support me to find, and keep, my wings beating…’ This is so beautiful Christina and a great reminder for me that many of my attacks come from myself and I allow them to stop me from expressing my Truth. Thank you for sharing the magic of God.
I feel many of us use the excuse of being scared of being attacked if we are in our power. Thus not claiming and expressing ourself in all our glory. And yes this may happen, but it cannot affect us if we stay steady with our self, read the situation for what it is, remain loving and call out the energy.
I agree Helen we use self doubt or negative thoughts about our self as an excuse to not take responsibility for what we need to do to serve humanity. These thoughts are very familiar to many of us and are the comfort we use so as to not evolve.
Yes Helen and Mary-Louise, as we go into self doubt and negative thoughts, we all too soon forget the amazingness of who we are and, focusing on the hurt that we have experienced, allow that to become the greater issue or a ‘right or wrong’ scenario. This has been such a great learning. And one of the greatest realizations is that it is a huge distraction and excuse to hold back my own love and light and so humanity misses out on that.
True words, marylouisemyers! The comfort of not being willing to deal with what needs to be faced is a trick. To understand this is offering a new way of reading the self in self responsibility.
That is a great point you make Helen, yes there will be attacks from others, but we also have to watch out for our own sabotaging patterns which stop us from expressing, and ultimately are of our own choice and making.
“And the gift to me was to understand that when I spread my wings and show myself in full, I might get attacked and it can seem very dangerous, but I can make it “to the other tree.” I am strong enough to keep flying and the attackers will disappear.” I so love what you share here. When steady in the knowing of what is true nothing can touch you. It is the doubt that makes everything implode!
Beautiful reflection Christina . I recently saw a heron standing nearby on the lawn open its wings in full spread and swoop up gracefully in the air sweeping through he sky in all its power and glory and it was breathtaking to watch and the reflection of magnificence was felt deep inside me. What an inspiration to be all that we truly are and to feel it joyfully. Thank you for opening this offering of love for us all.
One of the main reasons we men hold back our expression of truth and the tenderness of who we are is the impending fear of rejection, even if we sense a slight possibility of another rejecting us we shut down our expression of truth and bottle it up keeping it inside, where it becomes an unexpressed and stagnant energy, a dis-ease to ones body.
Thomas but how much of that is a trick we tell our self because if we were to express our truth and tenderness and fully claim this we would be so loving of our self we would not care if another rejects us as we have our own love.
‘Claiming my truth is claiming my rhythm’, this sentence you wrote Christina is very pertinent for me right now, when I let go of my daily rhythm, trying to please or accommodate others, I loose connection to my body, myself and ‘my’ truth.
Same with me, Thomas. That’s when I got to understand how important and self loving discipline is. I used to see it as a limitation, but it is an opening for something grander – my inner heart.
What an awesome reflection and an awesome play with the magic of God! To be tuned in like that and to allow yourself to get the support as needed through nature is indeed a sign of your own inner rhythm and pulsing with that of nature. I have experienced things like that too and such moments do not go unnoticed. They are precious moments to be cherished.
I love how you’ve spoken about ‘the battle within’ here Christina and how this can be as destructive as battles we have with others. I have definitely found this – we can be our own worst ‘enemy’ if we allow our heads to run the show, without connecting to our bodies. Our bodies are a source of depth-less wisdom, just waiting to be tapped into.
Nature is a great teacher, should we take the time and space to notice what it is forever communicating. The humble sparrow has been a source of inspiration and learning for me over the past year, observing two of them making a nest and growing a family last year, right outside my bedroom window, and just this week having them return to inspect the nest and begin to rebuild and prepare for another new beginning. I feel this is inviting me to take stock of my past year in preparation for what is next, the foundation is there, it just needs a little strengthening here and there in order to fully embrace and nurture a new beginning within myself. A cycle which never ends.
So true Christina, once we trust in ourselves and do not get distracted in our path we will make it – wherever we might go or whatever attack we might meet along the way. There is nothing that can stop us.
And if so, it is always a chance to open up for what had stopped me. What I had allowed to “disturb” my rhythm. So even in “falling” there’s an uplift – if we but only see it!
I love coming back to this blog, perhaps it is the strength and grace of the eagle’s flight in the face of attack that reminds me of the true grace and strength within us all, and our ability to gracefully move forward in the face of adversity and attack.
Right at the moment I am in a situation at work where there are a lot of attacks happening. And the beauty of this heaven’s teaching is, that whenever I see a bird flying, spreading their wings, it is a quick and little reminder to stay focused. That’s love.
A really great example of this is Serge Benhayon. No matter the attacks and slurs that have been thrown at him, Serge continues to live, present, walk, talk, share every part of his life with unwavering consistency, strength, power, transparency, truth, solidness, love and absolute grace and not hold back one tiny little bit at all. I would go so far to say, in my opinion, this even turns up a notch when people try to attack him or Universal Medicine. The same can be said for his entire family.
I could not agree more Gyl – Serge Benhayon is a fantastic example of an extraordinary man who has endured so many attacks yet moves from strength to strength and unwaveringly so. Certainly a role model for us all, and much we can learn from to put into place rhythms in our everyday that support us standing for the truth.
” He simply kept on moving his wings” – there is something very deeply profound in this line. I can’t quite pinpoint what it is yet, but maybe it is simply a reflection of how we can be in life.
it could be knowing we are much grander and graceful than anything that tries to attack or disturb us on our way – there doesn’t need to be a big fight, but the simple choice and joy of continuing to move forward with consistency and grace.
It is true Gyl – we DO know we are much grander and more graceful than anything or anyone that tries to disturb or distract our way forward, all we need to do is make the choice.
This blog is definitely to be treasured. I feel I allow many things to disturb my “wing beats”. As you say from outside or from inside myself the attacks are experienced (a crow is cawing right now!), yet what a loss to not see an eagle with full wings, as it is with us to not be in our full expression. For beauty to not be seen or felt because of attacks or doubt is incomprehensible. We must fly fully.
Today I sat on a bench over looking beautiful countryside and remembered this blog and how powerful it is. I was letting go of a few expectations and investments I had in my current situation. I have to admit to wanting recognition and to know if I’m on the right tracks. I asked if I needed to be doing things differently when a beautiful bird of prey high above me graced the sky.
What I found interesting was I didn’t feel anything obviously powerful or dramatic, and from this I got that there is so much grace and love in this world which goes about its everyday business whether it’s acknowledged or not. That to me is divine. I can choose to be this more and more. It’s beautiful to feel this and the freedom from seeking recognition.
Thank you for sharing Karin ‘there is so much grace and love in this world which goes about its everyday business whether it’s acknowledged or not.’ I have been so much more aware recently of the many ways I seek recognition and what freedom there is in letting go of this need.
There is so much we can learn from nature if we but stop and listen to what it is truly saying.
“battles within, like self doubt or negative thoughts (which in my eyes have the same power as attacks from others)”. This feels so important to express and recognise in ourselves, Christina, for I feel that the inner battles of negative thought and self doubt lead to how we then view the world and our relationships. When you “flew with a steady wing beat” in your conversation on the phone, I am sure there was not one ounce of doubt or negativity within you at that moment.. Is that true? To live life from that quality consistently is what we experience in Serge Benhayon, and he makes it possible for us through his way of being and presenting to make those choices too.
I just love reading this blog, and have once again been reminded to not allow the crows to disturb the beat of my wings. Thank you Christina.
The same blessing is on my side, Roberta. I still feel supported by this teaching to not get affected “in flight” – in my daily life, so to speak. That it is my job to move on.
How true is that an attack from within; the self doubt, self criticism and holding back for fear of attack, has the same power as an attack from others. It restricts our expression and keeps us small, timid and contracted. Recently I have felt the importance of allowing my expression to come from a vulnerability, that I put a pressure on myself for it to be strong, clear, insightful and well, perfect so that I can gain a positive response from others. When I give myself this loving space to express from, I start to feel my natural confidence return.
What a stunning blog Christina. In your observation, reflection and reading of this magic of God moment, I feel the capacity I also have to read the full significance of moments that come my way in my life. I also feel the power of your message as I so strongly relate to it. To know that there will be attacks but to stay focused, to know my rhythm and not get caught up in any battles and simply keep going. Yes, we are learning to fly again.
Very amazing Christina, and although very confronting to feel the fear in us of what ‘can’ or ‘could’ happen to us if the attacks came, when we are truly living in our body and expressing from our body it feels like it would be and is actually worth expressing in full because of how much love we embody in this moment and how much we claim our truth in full. This I know to be the most deeply rewarding thing to feel.
Perfect for me to read this today. This line stood out: ‘it is essential to stay focussed and not get distracted or involved with any attacks… to focus and move on’.
Agree Jacqmcfadden04 – If we stay focused and don’t let ourselves be distracted we move on naturally.
Each of us has the power to rock the world but it is great to have some wing(wo)men at one´s side to do it in brotherhood.
We rock the world.
I just love this comment Alex and I agree 100% that “each of us has the power to rock the world”, so imagine if we all decided to rock it together! True brotherhood in action!
Christina, thank you for sharing your story and the Magic of God at play. I love what you expressed: “The starting point to this is first appreciating myself for who I am and accepting that my truth is worth claiming.” Very true indeed!
Today I saw three big, beautiful pelicans soaring and circling, playing together on a thermal wind just the way eagles normally do. I have never see anything like it before, their large bodies and wings so graceful and effortless resting on the wind, and they were totally enjoying themselves. The Magic of God is amazing.
And it’s everywhere Jenny – absolutely everywhere if we tune into the best radio station in the world – no – UNIVERSE!
Thank you Christina, it is definitely a blessing to be able to read life from our inner heart, we no longer need to get caught up in other’s emotions and dramas but best of all we have the understanding of the importance of expressing in full what feels true within ourselves.
You are such an inspiration Christina Hecke- your words touch deeply and give everyone the chance who read it to connect to their heart immediately. Because it is you sharing to the world…
My essence is based on love. And I did express from my essence. And because everyone’s essence is based on love this message is universal.
Attacks are designed to let us stumble and fall, to get us out of our rhythm. Focusing on what we are, coming from and returning to, to know our way & purpose is key. Big ‘Thanks’ to Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon, for supporting us all here.
Just had to read your comment dear Sandra, as this is currently very prevalent in my life, and by choosing to stand for truth and standing up for who I am and maintaining my rhythm, especially maintaining my rhythm, helps to stay steady in what is yet to come.
Sandra it is so true our rhythm is what supports us and keeps us strong to stand up against the attacks. Maintaining our rhythm and knowing what we have gone from and returning to deepens our rhythm.
There’s a confirmation in what you observed Christina. No doubt we must fly with consistent wing beats, un-jaded by what tries to veer us off our flight path. It’s a matter of focusing on the 99% of us that is absolutely wonderful.
Great point Oliver, focusing on the 99% of us that is awesome rather than the 1% that may need a bit of work. When we focus on the 99% we keep confirming the beauty of who we are and eventually weed the 1% out.
So well said, Oliver. It is that pesky 1% that we spend so much time focusing on, and make into our whole world, while the truth is we are so abundantly wonderful.
So true Oliver, sometimes we forget, I know I do, and make the choice to focus on that one little thing – a little bit like focusing on one tiny grain of sand – and not looking up to see huge grand, majestic mountain that I am. .
“Not getting caught up in battles with others, or battles within, like self doubt or negative thoughts (which in my eyes have the same power as attacks from others), will support me to find, and keep, my wings beating… “. This line resonated with me this morning. Sometimes I can be my own worst enemy through doubt and negative thoughts. What I have found is that when I have those thoughts about myself, then often others will have them about me too. However, if I claim myself in full and stay connected with me, I am not at the mercy of what others think or say.
Perfectly timed reminder for me too Donna; ‘ if I claim myself in full and stay connected with me, I am not at the mercy of what others think or say’.
Perfect for me to read just now as well jacqmcfadden04, thank you for emphasising this here once more.
Perfectly expressed, Donna. Our thoughts are simply a reflection of what we are feeling, and they bounce back to us to show what we are putting out there into the world. I totally agree with jacqmcfadden04, that is an awesome reminder.
Donna this is so true – we need to look at where things are coming from, peoples reactions to us is usually a reflection of how we hold ourselves in that moment, whether we are honouring or dishonouring of ourselves.
I agree Eva, so this then puts a stop to blaming others for how they are behaving towards you… because it is then time to look at how you are behaving towards yourself.
Very exposing and wise words, Eva!
Great point Donna. We can be attacked from an energy outside of us (the crows in Christina’s example) or we let the attacking energy into our body and have self doubts or negative thoughts. An energy which wants to stop us from living and expressing how powerful and amazing we are.
This is very true Donna, I have come to the understanding recently that it really does not matter at all what others think, it is the knowing of myself and my connection to this, which is everything. I used to have the most negative thoughts about myself, but since making a commitment to say no to the rubbish thoughts that plagued me, I have discovered that what was underneath the fabrication of lies, was the most gentle and precious being ever. I will never allow a harmful thought towards myself again, and this is an ever refining process.
A beauty-full and courageous blog to stand up for the truth of what we know inside Christina, the story about the Eagle is a great teaching for any of us that hold back the truth of what we know. Whatever the attacks, to know that if we hold steady and deeply connected to our hearts and the truth they behold that we will make it, all of us as one brotherhood, together and united.
“…all of us as one brotherhood, together and united.” Wow, how beautiful… It touches me because that is what we truly are, as I can sense myself. We are One.
We are one and together we will defeat lies and reflect truth in unison . As we hold steady and deeply connected the power of the group will stand strong against the attacks.
Thank you Christina for a beautiful sharing, and speaking out your truth in full no holding back. I am at the moment finding my voice and allowing it to speak, at times fear and self doubt take over, but this is becoming less, sharing more of my loving self with others, is a beautiful thing.
Very true Jill, so if people ever attack you it does not affect you as much. It’s a wonderful feeling not to be pulled and tugged by the outside world. Staying strong, consistent and steady is the best way to live life and helps us to stay true to ourselves.
I am finding my voice too Jill, it is an ongoing process, but one that leads to joy when we let our true expression out!
Thank you Christina. This is such a beautiful example of how nature shows us what is going on when we’re open to seeing it. I love what you’ve shared here.
Indeed! The Magic of God is everywhere!
Self-doubt and negative self-talk are real saboteurs of an otherwise harmony and beautiful strength and equilibrium. Thank you for this beautiful account of the majestic eagle.
Christina I feel that the self doubt and negative thoughts that you mentioned have the potential to be even more destructive than attacks from other people because at least attacks from others can only come when we have contact with others, whereas attacks on ourself from ourself can potentially come at any time and as often as we allow.
Thank you Christina an awesome blog. We are shown the way, given the opportunities to practise and then given the most amazing confirmations and support, through truly inspiring and beautiful moments.
This is such a powerful symbol and just yesterday it was reflected to me too, a reminder that this is not something to be shocked or surprised by – an awareness perhaps that this is what can happen. I was walking and felt like I was walking with God, in that moment I looked up and saw two rainbow lorikeets – one flying while the other waited, the one flying had another bird on its tail having a go at it (attacking) and the rainbow lorikeet, like the eagle, just kept flying to the tree. The message felt similar, the two birds representing we are never alone. The flying also feels like a reminder to make flying familiar, to make the activity of our wings (our light) so known we keep flying until there is a moment to sit in the tree and understand.
To soar like the eagle with our wings fully expanded is such a perfect reminder of our possibilities nature is communicating to us!
Christina I’m learning to spread my wings and to accept “that my truth is worth claiming” and that no matter what I will be able to get to the other tree.
Thank you Christina, the reflections of nature are there always, rich and wise, for all to see, we just have to observe and feel.
I too have felt the fear of being attacked and thus holding back my expression, so it was wonderful to read your blog. What I could feel was that not only did the eagle make it to the tree, the tree was there ready to support it. Sometimes I forget just how much support there is always there for me whenever I need it.
So true that appreciating ourselves is the key to it all. We develop this relationship with who we are, we can continue to feel another’s reaction without protection, nor allow it to affect the integrity of our connection to our hearts.
Your blog is also reminding me of the process of the re-connection to nature again. A few days ago a friend of mine pointed out how he enjoyed the view out of my window. And that he could enjoy for hours just watching the sky sitting in the living room. I realised that I’ve never ever chosen to see that. I’ve enjoyed it at times, but what he shared came from a deep, honouring place. Like an innocent child, being at one with nature and being wondered by how the cloud landscape is changing all the time. I realised my busyness and constant drive to keep me away from feeling this. I’m realising how one-ness means to be at one with myself and from there with everyone and everything around me.
I enjoyed reading your openness to nature Christina, and its reflection to you of something deeper. I firmly believe these reflections are there all around us if we have the eyes and the presence to see them…. and in that acknowledgement we get a deeper sense of a situation, of ourselves, and what is around us.
Hi Christina, what I find quite incredible is the way that you are able to understand and reflect on life around you as it is happening, and the effects that you talk about this has on how you feel and your life is quite incredible. I know that for me I also do this a lot on a day to day basis and consider why things are happening the way they are and what that means, this was a way of being that I learnt from Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine courses, that constantly we have the ability to look at life around us and see a message or reflection within it.
And living like that is such a joy Oliver, when we are able to read life that is being presented to us, we are constantly learning, evolving to a greater awareness continuously so. This is our way back to where we come from, from the stupendous being we have long ago let go of by choosing to succumb into the individual and separated life of creation here on earth. The magic of God that is constantly there for us to show us the way out of this illusionary way of life, back to the glorious being we actually are, has to be appreciated as such.
What a beautiful confirmation Christina, that so long as we don’t allow ourselves to engage with whatever attack is coming our way, we realise we can keep being all of who we are in full. I like that you mention about battles not only coming from the others but also when we allow ourselves to bring in negative thoughts about ourselves as these can be so damaging, and suffocate our own natural expression. Thank you for sharing Christina
Christina, thank you for sharing this I love it when nature immediately shows us what is going on in our lives. I feel we all have the strength of an eagle within us, but we rarely show it. I loved what you shared that claiming truth is claiming rhythm, not getting caught up in self-doubt or negative thoughts. This gives you a solid foundation of knowing truth. By really knowing love, you have to live it. That means you have to speak up from that love and nominate anything that is not love. Yes you are going to get petty little attacks for that, let’s be realistic. Humanity is in a sorry state and needs your unflinching truth.
Feeling fear is enough to alter any Eagles wing span. To fly with our whole heart, to own our truth and never hold back is the only way to fly.
Learning to fly again has never been so true, joyful and full of love as since Serge Benhayon came along and showed us how….
Absolutely Dianne I couldn’t agree more. Learning to fly full of love and joy is the inspiration and reflection from Serge Benhayon. Thank you Christina for this beautiful sharing.
Such a nugget of wisdom and so beautifully expressed “Claiming my truth is claiming my rhythm – just like the beat of the eagle’s wings.” I am building a deep appreciation for how much supporting my rhythm in life is developing, concerning the quality and depth of awareness I live with and to describe it as the beat of an eagle’s wings is stunning. Natural, graceful and powerful. Thank you.
Today I came back to your blog and was reminded again that my rhythm is my foundation for life and everything I encounter and am asked to deal with. So when ever I feel a bit out of sorts, by my own choices or by what is coming at me from the outside, I can give extra focus on refining my rhythm, feeling what it is that supports my body and my being.
‘To me this was a teaching from heaven, a reflection for me to contemplate’. Christina, I love that you were able to connect to the nature and its heavenly message. Sometimes when we just walk in isolation from our environment we miss so much. The other morning, walking back from the pool, I passed a homeless person’s nightly shelter behind a soiled mattress, I wondered about his life. Further on I paused, looked up at the blue sky, soft fluffy clouds, a tiny speck of airplane ascending in the sky, in front of me a man pumping the tyres of his car, and myself in a single moment all came together, the marvel of it all.
‘If the eagle had let the crows disturb his wing beat, he would never have made it. He simply kept on moving his wings. I saw this as a confirmation in understanding that it is essential to stay focussed and not get distracted or involved with any attacks… to focus and move on.’ A beautiful reminder this morning as I lost my rhythm at work the other day and choose to react on this fact. Today is another day and re-reading your blog is a powerful support to not disturb ‘my wing beat’.
Hear hear Annelies, I strongly relate to what you say. When we get distracted we tend to make it worse by focussing on the distraction instead of focussing on our rhythm again which is our foundation. From there we can then do a reading on what the distraction was about.
Awesome Christina, I am very inspired. Your observation of the eagle and crows was incredible. We get beautiful reminders from God to always express truth and be true to who we are but we get so caught up in life that we don’t always take in these amazing messages. I love your sharing in the message you’ve received, it is so true, powerful and inspiring. I too have been holding back expressing truth and what I truly feel in fear of being attacked. I have recently realised holding back expressing my truth doesn’t serve me or anyone. Sometimes people are ready to hear the truth and sometimes they react when they are not, but I have learnt that their reactions are not personal or my responsibility to fix how they might feel. Learning to express truth in full feels absolutely amazing and learning to not take on other people’s reactions or attacks personally is another huge learning for me. Expressing truth in full is extremely healing for all regardless of any reactions, very powerful.
I am very ‘impressed’ by your sharing, i.e. can feel how much it resonates in me and calls my inner truth and fire to expand and express like the eagle spreading his wings and fly, no matter what wants to interfere with him.
To receive a true reflection is so empowering and reviving of the inner fire (love, truth, joy…). Without such reflection most don´t ever get to re-connect to their inner being, hence it is of utmost importance that we live and share our inner truth, so that other´s may be inspired. Serge Benhayon does exactly that and so do you. Thank you for sharing yourself for me and everyone who chooses so to be inspired and deepen one´s own lived truth.
This is so beautiful Christina, and a confirmation of the magic of God at play. You spoke your truth and his loving message was there for you to behold. God is constantly communicating, if we read his messages we we find they contain all the love and guidance we could ever need.
So true Barbara, I have recently come to appreciate the love and guidance I receive from God. God has been constantly communicating to me but I haven’t been willing to see it in the past. Now, I feel God everywhere, from this knowing I have the power and strength to express truth from my heart. The fear of being attacked for expressing truth no longer exists when I connect to this deep knowing that God is always with me.
A great sign for you to read and share, showing that we are powerful when in our true expression. Thank you Christina.
I love the way you talk about the eagle and you Christina and it was a joy to read this blog. I totally understand what you are saying about getting attacked but keeping that focus so the wings keep beating and keep moving towards the “other tree”. Not allowing these distractions to take you out and spiral you into self doubt is key when we choose to fly and express our Truth.
For me I am learning more about flying and holding steady as those attacks are there but with increased focus I am able to keep going and feel the majestic grandness of what I am here on earth to live and bring to this world. I am deeply inspired by the life and work of Serge Benhayon and people like you Christina who are sharing something so simple yet so meaningfull. Thank You.
Christina, I was touched by your image of the eagle flying and lovely that you noted it and ‘read’ the meaning that was being offered for you. There is no coincidence when these things happen– it’s as if the Magic of God constellates a message for us. These messages probably happen for us all far more than we notice or are willing to admit.
I agree Sandra and this message feels like it was for all of us and just found a wonderful path for it to find us. Big thanks to Christina for sharing.
Learning to accept that my “truth is worth claiming” has been a huge paradigm shift for me and in fact has completely changed my life. It is so empowering and allows me to expand just like the eagle’s wings expand.
“Claiming my truth is claiming my rhythm … Not getting caught up in battles with others, or battles within… will support me to find, and keep, my wings beating… and furthermore, allow me to fly, observing the world, able to go from A to B with all of me, no matter what comes my way.” I just love these words Christina. They resonate very deeply inside me. What I realise is how much mud we allow in and how much this is a burden for flying. The image of the eagle flying light and undisturbed is very powerful.
What a joy to read, and to feel, you expressing in full and then for you to experience the magic of God; isn’t it just awesome!
I love coming back to your blog Christina, so many lessons, so much wisdom; thank you.
Another reflection here in what you’ve shared Christina is that the eagle could have reacted to the crows attacking it but he doesn’t as there is no need. He knows he is much more than what is attempting to overtake him and he knows where he is going, his destination. He holds his power in his steadiness and he is not deterred by what comes at him along the way.
Yes Elizabeth, we can learn so many great lessons from observing nature. There is always a reflection there for us to see.
I’ve read your blog a few times now Christina and love the symbolism you’ve shared here. When I just read it again now it even reads like the steady rhythmic beat of the eagles wings. There reads a knowingness, a strength, a power of who you really know yourself to be. I seemed to glide along with your words as if they were reflecting the beauty and power of my own eagle wings. Thank you.
This is beautiful Christina. Such a simple reflection from the wonder of nature which is sending messages to us all the time. It is for us to be aware that there is always a message there for us, whether it is from a feather on the ground or a cloud in the sky, and for us to learn to read them. What an amazing gift we have been given from God.
I found this blog very inspiring to read. The commitment to your rhythm, staying steady with what you know to be true, feels very solid and unwavering. It makes life simple too. Know your truth and keep going, Do not be deterred by attacks from outside or within. They will come, but the strength of the light inside will hold steady.
I also love the simplicity Fiona about staying true to ourselves and the strength of our light inside as you put it. It is very strong and unwavering when I live that light and bring it to all activity. When an attack comes when already in full flight, there is a wonderful feeling of support from the the uplift of my wings and any interference can not take hold, no way. It is when I am hesitating to take off, or in flight looking around for a better pathway that the power and steadiness is not held and I am more vulnerable.
A beautiful account Christina, I love what you are saying here – ‘And the gift to me was to understand that when I spread my wings and show myself in full, I might get attacked and it can seem very dangerous, but I can make it “to the other tree.” I am strong enough to keep flying and the attackers will disappear.’ How often do we buy into self doubt or other distractions that keeps us away from expressiong all of us, when the truth is if we let go of all that, we will always make it “to the other tree”.
I reckon the birds bank on the fear of the attack making the eagle wobble. They only need to attack a couple of times for the anticipation of it to have an effect. Yet if the eagle never waivers then they get bored and move on.
Do we get distracted by the ‘crowing’ of our critics, or fly straight and true in what we feel in our hearts? A great question, and I’m particularly mindful of how little effort is wasted when we follow our hearts.
It’s probably because I read this Gorgeous blog about a week ago, that I actually became aware of a whole lot of birds flying together above houses about 200 meters from me. In perfect sync that flew ‘as one’ to the left and made some circles and other movements together and than flew 200 meters to the right and did the same there. This happened quite a few times and all the time in perfect sync. Like nobody really led the movement, is was as if they were flying together, just following their own rhythm which was obviously in rhythm with the Rhythm of the Group. Simply Amazing and Simple at the same time. An absolute Joy and Blessing to see them. Learning me about Brotherhood – no individualism – and Trust. Magic in the air:-).
I so love the inspiration of this blog Christina. What a beautiful confirmation from nature you received! I too have held back what I know to be true for fear of attack, but this is truly encouraging to read and so supportive to understand that when we speak from truth and hold strong to what we know without falter, it is all taken care of – beautiful. Thank you.
I can relate to this too Michelle. I am so scared of being attacked I hold back what I know to be true. This blog is a very inspiring reminder that even though we may be attacked we are still supported by our own loving consistent rhythm. All the more reason to focus on building this.
So true Rebecca, the more we build our own loving consistent rhythm, the more support we give ourselves when attacks (from outside or within) come about.
Yes this message is a powerful one. I know that there are times when I still hold back out of fear of reaction but this really serves no one. To remain committed to building and going deeper in a loving rhythm supports me to feel strong and supports me in my expression.
I can relate to your words here Christina – “I know that I am a person holding back my truth, what I truly feel or see, because I am afraid of being attacked for expressing that truth.”
Slowly but surely, I am also expressing my truth more fully and being less anxious of attack coming at me. My body feels stronger and more ‘solid’ in its presence as I continue to build this foundation within me inspired by the Ageless Wisdom Teachings as presented by Serge Benhayon.
Thank you Christina for this beautiful blog.
True – the relationship with the attacks have to be transmuted. From fear to purpose. We still will make hurtful experiences, but we will be able to observe and move on instead of stopping and shutting down because of what had happened. And therefore express what we feel without being in reaction to the attack.
We can be our greatest attackers, this was a great revelation Christina, we can get so caught up in blaming others and how they treat us we forget to look within and check how we are treating ourselves. Truth is the greater the love we have for ourselves the stronger our wings will fly and it will take more than two crows to threaten that. Serge Benhayon is living proof of this, he has been attacked from ever angle, lied about in the most vile and villainous of ways yet his stride has never broken his commitment to love and truth never wavering. A true inspiration of what is possible when love rules the show.
I love what you have reminded us of here Caroline. To “check how we are treating ourselves” and “the greater the love we have for ourselves the stronger our wings will fly” and also right before us we have Serge Benhayon. He is the golden eagle.
Brilliant comment Caroline, very inspiring and so true. Nothing in this world can defeat the power of love. Serge Benhayon lives, expresses and moves with absolute love consistently. The constant viscous attacks he receives are simply powerless, they do not affect him in any way. Serge is an incredible role model, he is a blessing from God showing us the way to return to truth and love.
This is great Caroline, to be aware that even our blaming other people is an attack on ourselves. Taking that responsibility for our own awareness and presence does give flight to life.
So true Caroline…Serge Benhayon is a constant inspiration of how to live love consistently despite attacks from many angles, and he never retaliates or doubts himself. He just keeps on living truth and love in every way.
How it is always coming back to us… There is no way in life in finding “the fault” outside… very true. The stronger you are inside, means the more you embrace all of you and live and express it, no one can ever touch you… Living proof: Serge Benhayon!
“… it is essential to stay focussed and not get distracted or involved with any attacks… to focus and move on.” It is indeed paramount that we stay committed to ourselves no matter what is going on around us. It can be challenging at times for all of us when we are attacked for expressing truth but at the end of the day it comes back to us and how we lovingly are with ourselves and this is what I am focussing on and practicing every day to the best of my ability.
I very much agree Caroline. Sometimes it can definitely be challenging, especially if we’ve had a long-standing pattern of holding back the truth. Anxiety may come up, and it may seem difficult but each time we do let ourselves open up and express what is truly there to express, we do soar, just like the eagles in the sky, and the momentum of having held back for so long slowly but steadily starts to diminish.
Thank-you for the great reminder with your words here Caroline Francis, at the end of the day it comes back to us and how we lovingly are with ourselves, a timely message for me.
What this highlights to me is we can often look outside ourselves or blame another, but the truth is as you have shared, our own inner self critic can be equally damaging if not at times more harmful. Could it be that at times abuse in our life, is a reflection of how we are with ourselves. You could say this to be true of all of life. That old saying of ‘what goes out must come back’.
Vey, very well said Gyl. What goes out definitely comes back. It makes a lot of sense to express truth if that’s what we want to come back 🙂
Gyl, I’d say that our own inner critic is worse than anything from the outside…self doubt and self criticism are debilitating and I’d say are what allow abuse and attack from the outside to get in.
Very true Gyl. I notice that when I allow any self-abusive thoughts or behaviours to sneak in, that this is often reflected in how people are with me. It is so powerful to know that we do not have to go into being a victim in the world, but see it as an opportunity to learn more about ourselves and also, to stand up for ourselves and not accept abuse from anyone – including ourselves!
Christina this is very beautiful and a real inspiration to speak one’s truth and claim who we are with nature and the magic of God guiding us all the way. The true reflection and beauty of us all I too have found from Serge Benhayon and have never looked back since meeting him and the knowing ever since of what love truly is inside us all and opening up to this with everything and everyone – where eagles truly fly .
“The starting point to this is first appreciating myself for who I am and accepting that my truth is worth claiming”. Great inspiration this sentence. Appreciation and acceptance, key words and so important in our everyday life.
Absolutely Mariette, if we truly choose appreciation and acceptance in our day to day living, we are in for a life change.
Agree Mariette, ‘Acceptance’ and ‘Appreciation’ are constant companions for anyone in the Livingness. With them by our side and showing us the true Way, we are unlikely to stray or be distracted by events outside of ourselves.
Appreciation and acceptance feel like the antidote to the poison that comes with attacks. Building our rhythm is key in making sure we stay with our pace so the knocks that come all the time don’t knock us off our trajectory. When I typed “trajectory” my iPad wanted to correct it to “true glory” … I like that!
So true- if we appreciated us in full and accepted that what we appreciated 😉 life would be full of us and can only be very joyful.
Christina, what a lovely analogy, an eagle is so powerful and graceful in flight, as we are able to be in our everyday Livingness. The power of truth speaks for itself.
On the day I read your blog Christina, I went outside to eat my lunch. I felt so open and aware of nature – ready for the message it was there to give. What I noticed was the sun reflecting from the leaves – sparkling, shining and glistening from lots of different colours and lots of different angles. I felt how this is all we have to do: each of us just be us and shine, sparkle and glisten for everyone to see and together, we can be like the stars, or like the leaves – all just being here shining away.
Beautiful, Simone, I love how you describe that, “just be us and shine, sparkle and glisten for everyone to see and together, we can be like the stars, or like the leaves – all just being here shining away.” Yes, that is all we have to do, shine to let others see how joy-full we are to be living the way that we do. What a beautiful reflection for us to give others.
This is beautiful Simone, thank you for sharing. I felt as if I was there with you emanating my inner sparkle 🙂
Beautiful Simone. I can feel the Joy, Wisdom and Sparkling in your comment. And the longing for that to be accepted and lived in this world. How different would life be then. If no one would have individual needs, but everything’s about co-creation and the knowing that life’s really about evolving – all of the time.
Gorgeous Simone, each one of us sparkling in our own unique way with no comparison or jealousy…sparkling as only we know how to .
Since reading your blog, I have taking notice of the birds so much more. Watching the consistency of the wings flapping and also, how they usually fly in flocks – as if by “magic” all flying so closely in their group and communicating in a way that they all move in harmony. This was a powerful reflection for me about how it can and should be working in a group with people. So many powerful lessons to learn from nature when we choose to listen.
I love observing them too Simone. They are so graceful and powerful. They reflect to me a deep connection and stillness and that they are not thrown out of their rhythm if there is a attack- a consistency and power.
So true Simone, there is so much in nature that we could learn from – especially the fact that nature does not learn anything from the outside, it is all innately known within!
‘it is essential to stay focused and not get distracted or involved with any attacks… to focus and move on’, is such an important point. I have been distracted and experienced getting pulled into the fight, which is never a pleasant experience….Super advice is to focus and move on…
Christina, this is a very beautiful observation. I particularly like the lesson in: “If the eagle had let the crows disturb his wing beat, he would never have made it.” And I agree – self doubt is a killer. It is a murder of crows waiting to take you down in one foul swoop, should you let the rhythm of your wing beat be disturbed by their presence.
This is so true Liane – death-by-doubt! Recently, I became aware of two cycles operating in nature according to the moon – repose and motion, as through the teachings of Serge Benhayon. I have noticed that during the repose cycle if I am not consistent in confirming myself – accepting my choices and the wonder of God that I am – that self-doubt can sneak in with a vengeance and bring me down in “one foul swoop”! During this time, much deeper acceptance and appreciation of myself is required to ensure I am full of myself and there is no room for sneakiness.
Simone I so truly agree it is a great time to deeply appreciate and accept, during a repose phase. It is so easy for self doubt to creep in if we are not constantly confirming and accepting the wonder of God we are. Therefore acceptance and appreciation is so important to build that inner strength.
A great reminder of acceptance and appreciation. thank you.
I agree Lianne and Christina. Self doubt is indeed a killer. There just has to be the smallest inkling of a thought that can sneak in if we are not fully present, and can, if we don’t catch it, sweep through us like a torrent of water filling our whole being with questions and uncertainty about our self worth. But we can stop it, as I am learning, by building more and more of a solid rhythym into our day that truly supports the body and gradually there becomes less and less space for any doubt to come in. Just as the eagle does, we just need to keep gently and rhythmically beating our wings.
I have found it quite difficult to speak out at times and the fear often seems out of proportion to the possible consequences so I appreciate the courage it takes to hold your ground and speak your piece. What an awesome confirmation that love is stronger than anything and that we are always supported to speak our truth when we come from love.
I can relate Amanda – and to the truth that it has been my connection to the love within that has made the difference.
Amanda thank you for your comment especially, ‘we are always supported to speak our truth when we come from love.’ This takes all the mental worry and leaves with what is there to be expressed.
This is so true Amanda, ‘we are always supported to speak our truth when we come from love.’
I find dreams can also be really great indicators or confirmation of the choices we need to make or have made. If we are all Sons of God, there is not one person on this earth who does not receive this communication. I can’t say that it is God ‘speaking’ to me directly, but it certainly is a constellation of factors that are pulling me back to the love from which I separated.
This is a beautiful statement Christina – “the starting point to this is first appreciating myself for who I am and accepting that my truth is worth claiming”. This ought to be one of the first lessons that we are taught from a young age.
So very poignant to read this blog today Christina, perfect in fact. This morning there was something that needed to be said about a group. I have said it.
The fear was intense I must admit, but stronger was the impulse for truth.
What I recognise is that we barter truth like a cheap commodity to keep a peaceful status quo that serves no one. We all suffer from holding it back, like a breath held in that we are unwilling to exhale.
So what happens when we hold it back? We trap something inside us that needs to be released, and is a disservice to ourselves and everyone around us. We clip our own wings and deny the fact that not only do we know, we are able to handle anything that comes our way.
We fear speaking truth because we have been conditioned to believe that ‘truth hurts’, but this is not so. It is not the truth that hurts but the lack of it lived, that is thus exposed in its presence.
Absolutely stunning – thank you Christina. I’ve always loved eagles and the strength and power they represent: I love them even more in this context. All you have expressed I have felt too. I now feel encouraged to keep on expressing and being me from A to B no matter what. Not making it about the attack, the drama, the self-doubt – yes, you are spot on. This is what keeps us small.
Christina this was just so beautiful. I especially loved your line “I feel blessed to have regained the ability to read life from my inner heart, to open up for life and people: learning to fly again.” So many people just accept what life throws at them, not truly learning to stop and as you say, regain the ability to read life. This doesn’t just happen, it takes awareness, responsibility and a choice to read life from your inner heart. Something that is amazing to feel and live by.
Today I saw a buzzard flying by and I can so much relate to the open and very strong wings you were describing seeing the eagle, Christina. For me the stillness in their flight and their absolutely sharp and detailed way to observe things and in the right time go into action is an inspiration.
The magic of God is everywhere and it is such a shame that we have wandered so far from the path of being able to read it in everything that is presented to us. It seems crazy to think we have been so unaware for so long when it is so obviously all around us. I’m not that great at reading it yet but at least I am now aware of it.
I can absolute sign this: Inspired by Serge Benhayon “I feel blessed to have regained the ability to read life from my inner heart, to open up for life and people: learning to fly again.”
Me too. Learning to see life and be able to understand it from my inner heart has changed my world.
Well done Christina, another person showing that speaking truth is love and it is not love to see the truth and not express it. This has really been in my face lately – that letting something go on and on that is unloving with a group, family or work or myself, just adds to the already abundant thinking out there to not speak up and to just keep quiet.
I had to come back to this blog, this morning, for another reminder of the majesty and power of these words and the wing beat that is our daily rhythm.
This paragraph stands out to me this morning as I read this story again.
“And the gift to me was to understand that when I spread my wings and show myself in full, I might get attacked and it can seem very dangerous, but I can make it “to the other tree.” I am strong enough to keep flying and the attackers will disappear.’ A great reminder to know I am not alone, trust myself and what I know
I know that when I have expressed in full the clarity held after is a strength rarely felt.
Just knowing what to do and how to handle situations is there and life flows. Living this consistently must feel amazing.
Loved this Christina, it is so true that we hold back in fear of being attacked, yet the moment we commit to expressing our truth, truly claiming it, none of those attacks truly matter as we know our foundation is solid. I felt what you shared about appreciating ourselves and truly claiming the fact that our expression is needed is such an important point. We all are magnificent when we allow ourselves to express in full – just like the Eagle.
What if we are our ‘worst’ critic? That it is the lack of belief in ourselves that invites attack? Your comment Christina – ‘The starting point to this is first appreciating myself for who I am and accepting that my truth is worth claiming’ speaks to me about holding true to what is the ‘truth’. The eagle feels very strong and clear and no matter what happens – the attacks carry no weight in the bigger picture. The tree the eagle was heading for was clearly in sight and nothing was going to interfere with that. Nature has so much to offer us, so much support and re-affirming messages.
So Beautiful Christina such a lovely sharing of our power and strength when we claim it in full and spread our wings speak our truth and the joy it can bring. Appreciation of ourself is key and divine messages from nature are always there to confirm us or give us messages and it really is worth noticing this every moment as our day goes by.Thank you Christina an inspiration.
Christina I love how you liken expressing in full to an eagle in flight with its wings fully outstretched. It’s a beautiful image and a wonderful way to describe a person feeling free and not holding back.
I live in the country side and see often eagles. When i see them and I am amazed by their strength, stillness and presence. A friend recently said they represent power, I can understand why I love them so much is because they reflect to me my own power. Beautiful.
The power of love is literally a greater power than any other, a scientific fact in fact. It is love that holds the intelligence of how everything in nature works together harmoniously. Serge Benhayon is ever a humble servant to this love and his living example of this is one of his grandest legacies.
Thanks for sharing this Dean. A great reminder that in fact the power of Love is greater than any other.
The word “love” has been bastardized on so many levels. True love, purposeful love is a love for all, equally knowing that we are all the same yet uniquely different. Yet today the word love can mean so many things; it can mean ownership, it can mean heartbreak, it can mean exclusivity, it can cause separation and it can mean war. Thank you to Serge Benhayon for reminding us all of what true love is and that it is within us all equally so, from this love we will forever change the world.
Hi Christina, as long as I stay fully connected to the truth and express it, despite apparent attempts to attack me, I can remain in harmony and it is all my choice. Thank you.
Love this Christina, spreading your wings speaking your truth. This is something most of us have gone through holding back our expression of truth. But like you say it is time to speak, not to be fearful of being attacked, just standing strong and moving through life, we will reach the other side in the light of truth. Serge Benhayon has definitely inspired us all to connect to the wisdom within our inner hearts and speaks the truth.
I have also begun to appreciate the constant communication that is going on. The more I accept and appreciate the magic that I am, the more I am able to see and feel the communication that is happening around us. Your blog is a lovely reminder to stay connected and keep loving.
“The starting point to this is first appreciating myself for who I am and accepting that my truth is worth claiming”
I am inspired by this line in your blog Christina to continue claiming my truth and continue building my appreciation for who I am.
This line really stood out for me also Joost, such a beautiful and supportive foundation to appreciate myself first. I recently spoke my truth that I did not choose to be involved in an activity that others wanted me to come to, there was a lot of reaction and attack after, however, because I really appreciated that I felt this in my body I did not doubt myself like I have in the past.
I truly love the detail in this reading Christina – the eagle was not absorbed or influenced by the outside world, sure he would have felt the attacks for what they are (Jealousy!) but knew his strength to carry on in Glory. Even though this was a message for you it speaks to everyone.
Absolutely Rachel, the magic about the ‘Magic of God’, is that even though the message is there for the observer, on most if not all occasions it is a lesson that “speaks to everyone” who is open to receiving the message.
Indeed Rachael and Anne – a message from above is a message for everyone to learn and grow equally if we so choose.
Christina I enjoyed reading your blog. I could really relate to the following sentence, “If the eagle had let the crows disturb his wing beat, he would never have made it. He simply kept on moving his wings.” This is exactly what I am working on at the moment. I have been allowing a fuller awareness of how jealousy plays out and how I react and shrink because of feeling it, I am starting to get that we have the choice to simply feel the Jealousy and then the hurt we experience and then rather than react to the hurt and take it personally we have the choice to simply see it, feel it and then connect back to our sacredness, our truth.
I also related to the same sentence Kyrone1. I too am working on not getting distracted or hooked into the drama or objections that may come from others. I can start to doubt myself when this happens, or even retreat if someone disagrees with me. I am learning to stay steady with myself like the eagle when that happens, and claim that what I have to express counts.
The messages are so clear if we take the time to read and feel their meanings. What a deeply honouring learning to see nature unfold in a way that is directly for you in a perfect moment of reflection.
I love how you have showed us that by observing what is going on around us we can find the answers to our own personal development and dealings with the lives we lead, awesome.
Christina that is a powerful article about something that is incredibly powerful and that is the ability to speak up and express. There are so many things that hinder this for me but whilst reading your article I got the distinct feeling that non of the things that prevent me from speaking up carry any real weight. It is my holding back that gives them their power and so by not holding back the reasons why I don’t express will naturally shrivel.
What a beautiful reflection on expression Christina. I can feel the strength and grace in learning to ‘spread our wings’ when it comes to expression, and the freedom that comes with staying true to ourselves and our inner knowing. I often find myself holding back what I really want to say so I am very inspired by you and the eagle.
wow Christina, Loved your expression “And the gift to me was to understand that when I spread my wings and show myself in full, I might get attacked and it can seem very dangerous, but I can make it “to the other tree.” I am strong enough to keep flying and the attackers will disappear” …as I can really relate to holding back for fear of getting attacked, when really there is nothing to fear, as the truth is what sets everyone free. this has been a great reminder for me Christina, so thank you for your timely post. with much love, Sue 🙂
Dear Christina I wept healing tears when reading your lovely blog, thank you. “I know that I am a person holding back my truth, what I truly feel or see, because I am afraid of being attacked for expressing that truth.” To move through this as you have shared feels so liberating – outstretched wings once again!
The strength you have shown by not allowing outside disturbances affect ‘..your wing beat…” will inspire others to “…learn to fly again.”
Nature shows us gems like this every day. What I enjoyed here is your appreciation for this Christina, and how you have fully embodied what this little nugget meant to you. And expressed it in full. I am very inspired by your commitment to not hold back, knowing that speaking the truth will far outweigh any attacks that might happen.
The magic of God speaks to us in the most extra-ordinary ways, the joy when we are open enough to see and feel it. What a powerful reflection.
I agree with your words Kehinde2012k, and when connected to my awareness I too feel the Magic of God in nature constantly, sometimes in the simplest of examples, and in the rainbows, the waves of the ocean, the warmth of the spring morning sun on my back while walking, even unto the space that surrounds us as we walk our walk through bushland or along the sandy beach. Indeed as you say “What a powerful reflection.”
Too often in the past I feel I have been too ignorant, checked out and blind to see and feel the reflections offered by nature and then gone around in circles beating myself up for my choices to sabotage my connection to my body. To be able to appreciate the gifts of the reflections of nature I must take responsibility for the choices I make to connect with my body and be present and open to what is being reflected by nature and spread my wings and show myself in full.
Lovely Jane, I also agree, I love the magic of God also and am finding that the more open I am, the more aware of the magic that is right in front of our eyes. This is beautiful.
I feel joyful to say that I have found true reflection for what I have ever felt to be truth in the teachings of Serge Benhayon. He stands up for what I can sense is truth but still keep holding back. And I feel blessed to have regained the ability to read life from my inner heart, to open up for life and people: learning to fly again.
What a beautiful reflection so true for many people. The greatest gift of life. We are blessed to have met Serge Benhayon
So perfect that I read your blog today Christina. This is exactly what I have been feeling and working on. I had a shift in circumstances in my life recently and instead of holding true to the rhythm I had created where I honoured myself first and looked after my body with care, I fell into a rush and put everything else first. I got done by the external urgency of life and forgot about the inner beauty and grace that emanates from within. When I don’t honour and nurture this, the negative and self-abusive thoughts tend to multiply and take control. So, after becoming aware of this through signs in my body and through the reflection of people and nature, I am able to return to what I know will support me to be in my body. Once I am feeling my body more deeply, it is so much more simple to honour what I am feeling and be strong in that. Thanks for this timely and gorgeous sharing. I love the messages we receive in nature and the way you read this message was beautiful Christina.
Thank you so much for sharing this Christina. I realised today that I have held back on bringing all of me to a situation and it hurts. I feel that I have held back some wisdom from someone where there was an opportunity to show them something they may not have seen before. The only thing that I can feel that could be why I have done this is because I was nervous of the inquisition but I am realising that perhaps there would not have been an inquisition. Perhaps this person was ready to hear, and even if she wasn’t it doesn’t matter. Also what I am realising is that I have not claimed in full me and my involvement with Universal Medicine. I am taking this awareness and will bring it all from here on in, without perfection.
And we are all blessed when you bring this Heidi – “I am taking this awareness and will bring it all from here on in, without perfection.” It may not be the huge outburst or back lash that our minds have set up and it could actually be appreciated. Either way, holding back hurts ourselves and the other person.
Beautiful to read Christina. I love the confirmations and understandings that nature gives us if we stay open to reading them. It was particularly pertinent for me to read this line today.. ‘It is essential to stay focussed and not get distracted or involved with any attacks… to focus and move on.’ Thank you 🙂
A great one to highlight Candida and pertinent to myself at the moment also. Keeping the focus really does keep things simple, easy and fun with the knowing of what is trying to take place. Attacks can really be a learning, giving you a way of looking at it that can really strengthen our foundation.
I agree Amina. So often we can take things personally but when we see the bigger picture and what is actually being played out, it takes things to a whole new perspective. I have to keep reminding myself of that is going on in my life at the moment is a wonderful opportunity to learn and grow.
I love the reflection of the Eagle here in not disrupting its flying pattern, even though it is being attacked. This is a strong reflection for me in my daily rhythm. I know the things that are necessary for me to ‘fly’ everyday, and I cannot let these waver, no matter what is thrown my way. If an Eagle was to do this, they would fall so easily. Seeing and appreciating these things for the importance they are allows me to really mark them as my foundation. Expressing truth is one of them, and something I am learning more the importance of every day.
If I stop appreciating the things that I do for myself, to support myself to be me, or if I stop appreciating where I am or what is going on around me, it is like an instant shut down, a closing of my wings, leaving me unable to fly. It is not appreciating the wings that I have, or the thermals in the air around me supporting my every move. Appreciation is key to me, it deepens my connection with myself, with God, and the beautiful majesty of nature.
‘I know the things that are necessary for me to ‘fly’ everyday, and I cannot let these waver, no matter what is thrown my way’. I feel the same Amelia. Universal Medicine has given me many life changing tools that have helped me build solid foundation within. When I meet an attack and because I now have a deeper appreciation and love for myself, I can observe what is going on for the other person, but not absorb the energy of the attack. In this way my fly pattern is not disrupted.
So beautifully expressed Christina, I felt I was with you as you looked out your window. Your sharing touched me deeply, especially, “And the gift to me was to understand that when I spread my wings and show myself in full, I might get attacked and it can seem very dangerous, but I can make it “to the other tree.” I am strong enough to keep flying and the attackers will disappear.” I can feel the strength and beauty in your wings as you open and stretch them ready to fly, and I thank you for the inspiration and understanding that if I don’t loose rhythm I can make it “to the other tree.” Thank you.
I got ‘goose-bumps’ all over when I read your blog Christina. The sharing of the eagle image and what this reflected to you is magnificent, and certainly was a blessing that you shared the message, thank you
Christina, I so enjoyed re-visiting your blog this morning – it is quite inspirational and the words that stood out for me today were “if the eagle had allowed the crows to disturb his wing beat, he would never have made it”. I find that a great analogy for when the force of certain energies that we can feel confront us or attempt to thwart us in our true purpose, and that if we allow these ‘energies’ (these crows) to disturb our own wing beat it could have the potential of creating an interruption to that purpose, bringing about momentary contraction, self doubt etc., so the words that seems to be in highlight for me are ‘disturb’, but before that the word ‘allow’. Is it possible we sometimes just simply ‘allow’ outside influences, innuendoes, and expectations of an energy outside of us to ‘disturb’ our rhythm and our purpose. How glorious is your sharing of the experience with the display of the eagle that spreads its’ wings and very often seems to soar alone – but never is truly alone – seemingly a bit like many of us perhaps.
That is a very poignant comment Roberta, so often we flounder because we allowed something to interfere with our direction and purpose. It truly exposes the real cause of our woes. Its not the attack, its the fact that we react to the attack that causes the problems.
When we contract ourselves as a result of the attack, it’s easy to give our power away to the experience and not realise its our own contraction and choice to not hold ourselves that is causing the true hurt. I’ve really believed in the hurt I’ve felt from attacks and hatred and not believed in the strength of my presence and the connection to truth I hold. The truth I hold within is unwavering but the choice I have to connect to this is not yet consistent. The thing about attacks is we often don’t expect them and experience a shock, but perhaps changing this could be supportive, as could be lightning up about the fact that truth will usually stir people up into a reaction. I can take attacks very personally instead of observing that it’s just a reaction inside that person and has nothing to do with me. It’s truly the message and not the messenger they are reacting to.
Melinda you have a valid observation about when we are attacked and take can take it personally when we are just being ourselves. Truth does stir up feelings in others and can make them feel uncomfortable. At times when I feel this arise I remember my favorite quote “to swim like a fish and not get wet”
So true sjmatsonuk, truth does stir up feelings in others, so it can be hard to get used to that initially but it is definitely worth it from my limited experience of standing up and speaking truthfully. I find it amazing why I would care so much about how another felt when I know something is not true and needs to be said. I always feel lesser if I don’t speak up and much more if I do.
I too am in deep appreciation of what Serge Benhayon has presented over and over again, “learning to read life from the inner heart”. Just as you did Christina with the reflection of the eagle, it feels a very natural and harmonious way to live and respond to life.
I also love this gift from Serge Benhayon, him reminding everyone about and by his example inspiring everyone to re-learn “to read life from the inner heart”. I so enjoy it when people share what they have observed in life in this manner, especially from the Magic of God in nature. And the stories hold so much wisdom.
The starting point to this is first appreciating myself for who I am and accepting that my truth is worth claiming. This line Christina is very true, the power of self appreciation is huge and I know when I accept in full, that my truth is worth claiming, I too will soar like the eagle, with the ability to see 360 degrees, fully supported by my own absolute truth beneath my wings.
Reading your comment here today has been so supportive Julie, thank you.
What a great blog! I learned much from your experience Christina so thank you for sharing. I notice that if I come under any kind of attack I currently let it rattle me – my wings miss a beat and I do not move on to the next thing well. Your blog has given me the understanding of how to stay consistent with myself and continue moving on, wing beats undisturbed!
Well said Melinda, the metaphor of our wings missing a beat makes a lot of sense as it seems to sum up that hesitation we often feel when we are questioned or attacked. It is learning to not waver and to not doubt our course.
Melinda your comment reminded me that I once saw a Kookaburra sitting in a tree, so calm and serene, when two birds came up on either side and starting heckling it, they were ferocious in their heckling, yet the Kookaburra not once looked disturbed, it never turned its head to look at either bird, it just kept its serene and beautiful composure. I remember feeling very humbled at the time and knew I was being shown how we can hold steady in a world that will try and rattle us, whether we rattle or not is dependent on our stillness and connection with self. Thanks Christina for the great blog as a reminder.
I agree, well said – key is to observe the attack but not let it in and be disturbed by it. Consistency and presence supports us to carry on without losing ourselves.
Yes Eva, that is definitely the key, observe but not absorb.
‘He simply kept on moving his wings. I saw this as a confirmation in understanding that it is essential to stay focussed and not get distracted or involved with any attacks… to focus and move on.’
This feels especially powerful to me as I have noticed that when I ‘step up’ and claim myself more, I also become more vulnerable in myself and it’s at this point that it’s very easy for me to become derailed. It’s as though I become a target, like the eagle, and I have to be particularly vigilant to hold my truth, not get distracted, my commitment to moving my wings with loving consistency is paramount.
Wow Alison you have carried the beauty of Christina’s blog through in your comment so gracefully. I agree, consistency is so important. When I feel the “moving my wings with loving consistency”, I am reminded of the fluid and rhythmic movements of the wings of birds. I had to laugh at the thought of a bird only flapping one wing sometimes or not flapping at the same time, speed etc. How precious that we are offered these profound lessons every day if we choose to see them. Thank you Alison and Christina for opening my eyes to the importance of consistency through the wings of a bird in flight.
I agree, consistency (in staying -or flying- with the truth) brings a grace into live.
Yes it is a great observation Alison I agree. How often do we step up and claim ourselves only to allow a crow to put us off our stride? Consistency and focus are essential to maintaining commitment, something I too am learning to develop.
“…when I ‘step up’ and claim myself more, I also become more vulnerable…and I have to be particularly vigilant to hold my truth, not get distracted” Thank you deeply for this message. That offers a deepening of understanding what ‘stepping up’ means and the increasing responsibility as a side effect of claiming me more. What a great sharing. My deepest appreciation.
What a beautiful teaching Christina and how glorious to see how you to can fly like an eagle when you truly claim and express your truth. A beautiful message to confirm just how powerful you are when you don’t hold back.
Yes Rowena, isn’t it crazy how we keep ourselves small when we could spread our wings and fly. We often hold back from fear of being got at but when we step into our power any attack is futile like that of those crows that are just a worrying nuisance but have no chance of disrupting a steady committed rhythm.
I love this – one point which really stood out for me is ‘The starting point to this is first appreciating myself for who I am and accepting that my truth is worth claiming’. I have also begun to feel this with my own expression. Appreciation is everything.
I agree. Until we take stock and appreciate what it is that we bring, we won’t feel the importance in delivering it as our truth.
Here here Amelia and Michael – appreciation is a powerful gift to ourselves and others. Strange isn’t it how we have not been taught how to truly appreciate ourselves for what we bring.
That’s it … I am starting an appreciation program with myself right now for I have forgotten to do it for a while and it’s so lovely when I do.
Ditto jeannettegold. I so often forget to appreciate myself. Great idea to put myself on an appreciation program.
Yes, Michelle, Amelia and Michael, appreciation is so important. It is the medical antidote to lack of self-worth and lack of self-esteem. Michelle, it is strange that we have not been taught how to appreciate.. but then the world is set up in the equal and exact opposite of that. It continually feeds us that we are not enough and have to be more. If we were taught we were enough as we are and not only that we are amazing as we are, the world would fundamentally shift from the point today as we know it as we stepped into our glory and brilliance.
I would agree, it has been interesting to note how a lack of appreciation allows room for wavering thoughts, self doubt etc, but one moment of appreciation be it small or big brings a strength, knowingness and solidness to the body – and joy -. without even realising it these earlier thoughts disappear, which just goes to show, they are not true in the first place.
Well said Michael and Amelia. I have also begun to accept that my truth is worth claiming and then feeling that I am worthy of expressing truth equally with another. My next step is to really appreciate what I bring. I love what Amelia says here “Until we take stock and appreciate what it is that we bring, we won’t feel the importance in delivering it as our truth.” – thank you.
Yes, Michael, appreciating ourselves builds a solid foundation so that no self-doubt can worm its way in and undermine it. The more we speak truth the more we confirm it and so doing it helps us claim it.
‘And I feel blessed to have regained the ability to read life from my inner heart, to open up for life and people: learning to fly again.’
Dear Christina
What beautiful expression. Spreading our wings and not holding back feels like the only way to truly fly.
Christina after reading this I went walking. My awareness was very much that I only needed to be with myself one hundred percent. I’ve always tended to look around in case I miss seeing something in nature (and every other moment of life). But I could feel a deeper level of acceptance that staying with me is all that is required and what ever is needed will come. Four kookaburras arrived on a light post towards the end, of my walk, and then other birds came to annoy them. They flew off, and then 2 Kookaburras landed on the next light post joined by a crow. Instantly they all sat there together. I thought of your blog, and I could feel that we constantly have an opportunity to be all of who we are regardless of who is beside us. As your blog highlights so beautifully when there is no doubt – there is no problem.
I love the understanding, wisdom and confirmation that the Magic of God provides for us. Your observation of the eagle and your deepened understanding brought tears to my eyes. It is a great gift to the world for each of us to stand firm and present what we know to be Truth deep within our heart. What a great insight provided by the eagle keeping a steady fight even when he was being attacked and reaching the next tree. Thank you for sharing this story.
The reflection of what you felt is very wise indeed. When the attacks come, keep going. This is a message for me too. To connect to the power within me and feel that rather than the ways that I get attacked in the most subtle ways which can cause a reaction. See this as a confirmation of my power.
“The starting point to this is first appreciating myself for who I am and accepting that my truth is worth claiming. Claiming my truth is claiming my rhythm – just like the beat of the eagle’s wings”. This is so true.
God is talking to us all the time. How beautiful that you got the reflection right back at you, and you saw it, felt it, and knew what it was saying to you. That’s the magic of God right there!
It is s confirming when we get messages from God. Nature is a true refection of perfection for us to see God’s gift to us.
“Not getting caught up in battles with others, or battles within, like self doubt or negative thoughts (which in my eyes have the same power as attacks from others)” – I couldn’t agree more Christina, in my experience my own thoughts can be more destructive than what other people have to say
This is an amazing reflection and understanding Christina, of how nature points out to us all the time to remind us of things that are so obvious, but we’ve forgotten to be aware of. The more we express our truth, the more this awareness unfolds. I love the magic of God signs when I see them too, it’s great confirmation we’re on the right track.
Love this – I am constantly blown away by the magic of God the ever present messages that are mine to receive or not.
Yes Lee, these messages are ours to receive or not. God is constantly communicating, it is our choice though if we receive the messages or not.
What a powerful sharing Christine, we can clearly know that there is no such thing as ‘coincidence’. There is always a reason for everything that is happening; we just may choose not to be aware of it.
It is deeply inspiring to read of the reflection nature offered you in that moment and the lessons you shared of the power and beauty we possess when we do not hold back or minimize our majesty for anything.
“Claiming my truth is claiming my rhythm” Awesome and so true thank you Christina
Thank you Christina, this is glorious. Serge Benhayon is like the eagle and has inspired me deeply in how he lives the truth in full. He will not hold back. I know many of us as you have shared about you, are also coming to express truth in full more and more and how wonderful it feels to do so.
Christina this is so very powerful. There will always be attacks, there will always be magpies, but God has shown us all via you the simplicity of staying true to our rhythm. When we don’t get distracted or sidetracked from truth we too soar steady and strong like the eagles.
Gorgeous Christina. Love that the eagle reflected to you a confirmation not to hold back, and that although there are others who will feel uncomfortable with it you will always ‘make it to the other tree’. Nature is incredible!
Wow – seeing an eagle in the wild. I only once saw a huge raptor slowly flying around in 12 years living in the bush. The amazing thing about the metaphoric crows is that even when they ‘get’ the eagle, they can only do a little harm if we know how to deal with these crows. The more we know how to deal with them, the less harm there is for us.
If only we stopped and listened, we would realise that there is an unspoken communication going on all the time around us – in the trees, in the wind, in the stars, beneath our feet. Life encircles us, and encapsulates us, yet all too often we reduce our awareness to the smallness of our little universe – with all its hurts, problems, issues, and complications. And if that is not enough to keep us distracted from acknowledging the wonder of our own existence, we distract ourselves with thoughts of the future and the past. Meanwhile the world keeps spinning, and the glory that is ours to behold slips beneath our fingertips as we choose to remain unawakened to the splendour of the stars that is our birthright to behold.
Beautiful Adam and so very true. We are continually blessed by the magnificence of nature and the world around us if only we chose to remain awakened and aware.
As this blog demonstrates to beautifully, only those who are awake are truly aware, and only those who are aware are truly awake. There is so much life right on our doorstep, if only we were to let it in.
Beautifully expressed Jane, and what a way to live life. Our world is crying out for this type of connection. A true connection and one that supports us to really focus on what is important in life and what is not. When we get caught in the craziness of life it really is so supportive to know that there is a way to come back to being ourselves again.
A powerful and inspiring blog Christina – and one that opens up the heart and mind to all the wonders that are there for us to see when we become willing to observe the true truth of life. Everything is there waiting for us to return to our natural essence – and sometimes we are the only ones that stand in our way.
OH
I love hearing stories about the magic of God and this is no exception,and so beautifully read. As long as we stick to our true rhythms we will always make it to the next tree and the crows can just sod off.
This is gorgeous Christina, ‘Claiming my truth is claiming my rhythm – just like the beat of the eagle’s wings. Not getting caught up in battles with others, or battles within, like self doubt or negative thoughts’. I can feel the strength and steadiness that you write about when we claim our truth.
During the warmer months there are geese that fly above my house from a nearby lake. It is so beautiful to watch them fly in a V formation. When the windows are open I can hear the movement of their wings. They know to fly in that formation because they instinctively know that it allows the group to stay together, whilst reducing drag and allowing full visibility for each bird. The one at the front is doing a lot of work taking the full force and leading the way, but the others behind are equal to it. It is always a great reminder of our majesty, power and the innate ability for group work.
Thank you Christina for sharing your wisdom and the joy it brings. I full heartedly agree with you that to reconnect to truth, as is so remarkably inspired and supported by the teachings of Serge Benhayon, is a gift I have not felt greater appreciation for, an appreciation that continues to expand.
Great metaphor Christina. It made me realise that it is not attacks themselves that actually derail us but our own reactions to the attacks. We can choose to hold steady and continue to feel our own grace, confidence and power which really is unaffected by any attack, (external or internal) or we can react, contract away, cower, give in or change our course as a result of the attack. Very timely for me at this moment so thank you.
I love the way nature confirms choices we have made if you are but willing to see what is being presented to us. I call it my big bird, most days on my daily walk I see the same grey heron. One day I saw two crows trying to attack it in flight. It was amazing to see something with a 2 meter wing span just dance in the sky with the crows and then carried on in its rhythm.
” Not getting caught up in battles with others, or battles within, like self doubt or negative thoughts (which in my eyes have the same power as attacks from others), ” If we are afraid of being attacked we hold back and not express in full. Then we create ways to stay busy struggling with ourselves, which is really self attacking so others don’t do it.. This is what i know very well from my own life.
I could feel the moment i claim my power and beauty there is a part of me who wants to run back in the other direction…and i can explore to a deeper level why that is the case.
Yes Janina, and when we make it about the doubt, attacks etc we make it greater than truth…when in fact we are in our truth, it is powerful in thyself, that we are in our strength and held with love, we are simply like the eagle…in full expression and power of truth!
A beautiful metaphor for maintaining a steady, consistent and loving movement and commitment in life “If the eagle had let the crows disturb his wing beat, he would never have made it. He simply kept on moving his wings.” Even when something attempts to unsettle and distract, even if we causing our own chaos we can reflect on how supportive it is to ‘spread or wings and keep beating our wings consistently’ so to speak.
Christina your blog is a great example of how we are constantly being supported by the magic of God. Often we are not with ourselves enough to receive the message but in this instance you read the message beautifully and we have all gained from your experience.
Imagine how our lives would be if we were always receiving and reading the messages from God
I love what you share here, marylouisemyers ….. ‘we are constantly being supported by the magic of God’ …. it’s awesome to stop and appreciate this even if we’re not always present enough to feel these messages directly, yet.
“And I feel blessed to have regained the ability to read life from my inner heart, to open up for life and people: learning to fly again.” To connect to your inner heart and be able to read the wisdom and confirmation offered is indeed a grand blessing Christina.
So true lucindag it is one thing to commit to life and read it from your inner heart it is a further commitment to keep opening up to people.
‘If the eagle had let the crows disturb his wing beat, he would never have made it. He simply kept on moving his wings.’ This is pure gold – he SIMPLY kept on moving his wings, something he innately knows how to do, without thinking, without effort, just letting it happen, not getting in the way or restricting…what a totally inspiring and confirming reflection. Thank you.
Beautifully said Matilda. I felt too how simple it was for the eagle to keep beating his wings, all he had to do was to make that choice.
An inspirational post Christina and a beautiful example of how divine magic is there for us if we choose to open our eyes and hearts. I really liked your revelation in the way the flight of the eagle reflected on your earlier conversation.
Personally I drew much from your reference to how negative thoughts have the same power as attacks from others. I will take heed of your words, “appreciating myself for who I am and accepting that my truth is worth claiming”. A timely wake up for me. Thank you.
This paragraph really stands out to me.
“The starting point to this is first appreciating myself for who I am and accepting that my truth is worth claiming. Claiming my truth is claiming my rhythm – just like the beat of the eagle’s wings. Not getting caught up in battles with others, or battles within, like self doubt or negative thoughts (which in my eyes have the same power as attacks from others), will support me to find, and keep, my wings beating… and furthermore, allow me to fly, observing the world, able to go from A to B with all of me, no matter what comes my way.”
Appreciating myself is something I don’t do enough. My battle with self is often greater than my battle with other slipping into self doubt and negative thoughts always focusing on what I still have to work on and forgetting to appreciate how far I have come. This blog is a great reminder for me to claim my truth and appreciating and celebrating what I know is true
Hi Christina, thank you for writing such a graceful and simple blog in reflection of your reading on that particular morning. It’s a huge thing to appreciate and accept that No Matter What we are always going to land on that next branch, it’s a fact that we are forever held in our equal strength and knowing of the love we are and with this knowing it reminds me that we have nothing to lose when we take flight, what’s the worst that can even happen when we feel attacked?! We’ll always keep flying and nothing has a hope of attacking the very essence of who we are – that parts guaranteed, absolute!
I love this Christina, I love that I too am learning to spread my wings in full once again and the magic of God in nature is consistent and solid in providing the support and confirmation to me in every moment of life.
I also cheriseholt am spreading my wings as those moments when my wings are not in spread, life becomes narrow and small.
Yes Karoline, life is as rich and grand as we allow ourselves to be. Hold back and the walls crowd in, spread our wings and there are no walls, instead we are met with an open expanse that we are free to explore.
What a lovely and inspiring example Christina of the Magic of God. You saw the magic and appreciated what it was there to reveal to you. . . and in accepting the “teaching from heaven“ in full, you open the way for more and more gifts to come your way.
Lovely expression Anne, and so true and to the point.
Wow! I love how this blog clearly shows that the magic of God, in the reflections from Nature, is always there to confirm us, our truth, and that we are loved, for those that have the eyes to see and are open to observing these confirmations. I love the detail of the confirmation in this, too, and I love how Christina read the detail of these signs.
The Magic of God in nature, the perfect gift for you to receive, confirming the importance of claiming and speaking the truth and if you hold true to what you feel, you will leave a powerful imprint, which the attackers will not be able to penetrate. Thank-you for sharing this wonderful reflection Christina.
Being ourselves, in all our glory, will certainly “…leave a powerful imprint, which the attackers will not be able to penetrate.”
I agree – appreciating and accepting the truth of what we feel and who we are is fundamental; it lays the foundation for how we express in life.
Nature is continually offering us amazing reflections and confirmations. All we need to is be open to seeing them.
Yes Margaret, life brings reflections to us daily as you say, if we are open to seeing them….we are constantly supported by life, if we are open to seeing this!
So true Karoline, ‘..we are constantly supported by life..’, it is up to us whether we choose to see and accept this support, or continue on with eyes closed, wondering why our lives do not feel rich and full.
To say that life is against us is to deny the constant daily messages of how we belong to something much grander than our own little lives and perceptions.
Christina, this is an amazingly beautiful sharing of your encounter with the eagle. I posted a comment yesterday morning and love coming back to your blog. Then I too had an encounter with a beautiful eagle later yesterday. I was feeling absolutely amazing and connected at the time, and this beautifully marked small eagle flew over my back garden as I was looking out of a (fairly high) window. It made quite a number of circles down low where I could see all its beautiful markings, soaring around and around with occasional wing-flaps about 6 circles (of course) over the whole of the back garden. It was breath-takingly beautiful and the words came to me “look up”. I did, and above the eagle was this beautiful sky, with scattered white clouds. I had such a strong feeling of connection with something so much bigger than me, where I come from and where I am destined eventually to return. It was such a wonderful confirming of who I am, and absolutely made the rest of my day. I feel I was open to this, after the lasting effects of reading of your inspiring experience. Thank you.
Thank you Beverley – what a beautiful confirmation of how nature and our inner wisdom is always here there and everywhere speaking to and inspiring us whenever we choose to listen. I say here, there and everywhere because I also received a beautiful message this morning in my bathroom in a similar way to how you describe the words “look up” coming to you. Yes without doubt we are all connected to each other and an unfathomable vastness.
Beautiful, Christina. What I learn from reading this is to feel that we are constantly being attacked in the first place. That’s why I don’t always express all of me all the time, which I would naturally do. And expressing in full is actually the only thing that truly protects me. The difference is: The attacks will be less subtle and more obvious, but I cannot be harmed anymore.
felixschumacher8 this is so true. The attacks are always happening and the only thing that protects us is our full expression.
It is such an illusion that staying silent or hiding is a useful protection. There is such strength in my vulnerability and expression.
‘Not getting caught up in battles with others, or battles within, like self doubt or negative thoughts (which in my eyes have the same power as attacks from others)’ So true. Our own negative thoughts are extremely debilitating, we can be ‘our own worst enemy’ if we choose to focus on what is not, rather than the what is. Equally, we are no different to the attacker if we have negative thoughts about another, whilst we may not be verbalising anything, the energy is still felt as it reaches its target. We can’t avoid the fact that everything is energy.
Very true, Alison.
Even without overtly negative thinking we can still feel debilitated by the absence of self appreciation. Without the confirmation of the self that appreciation brings, we can feel empty, which I feel can then lead to negative thinking. When I am full of the joy of knowing and appreciating me, there is no room for negative thoughts.
This is a great reminder for me to keep my rhythm, like an eagle would keep theirs in flight. I notice lately how my rhythm changes in reaction to what is around me and these moments feel jagged and unharmonious.
To ‘not get distracted or involved with any attacks…’ feels very key to me at this point in time.
I had not realized that this is simply a choice. I have felt that I can get distracted with fun things and entertainment in life…but had not yet made the simple connection that what others do/bring towards me also offers a choice to engage or not!
I love coming back to this blog, it is so gorgeous! Appreciation is key and something I appreciate being reminded of – a great place to start I reckon!
Your blog also reminded me of seeing a white owl being chased off by the noisy minors who work in packs to chase off many birds in the area. The white owl for me represents absolute truth found in stillness and the wisdom that can be expressed from this sacred and divine place. She can still hold this even when she is being chased off and interfered with because this is in nature her essence and emanating the joy true beauty can bring. Knowing this strength that is within her she will easily find another place to roost and bring back the depth of understanding who we all truly are. No mistake she calls “Who, Who”!
Thanks for sharing your owl story Suzanne – I certainly relate owls with wisdom and it makes sense they would call out to remind us of who who we are.
Loved reading this Suzanne, made me smile all over on the inside. I lived in the bush for many years and loved listening to birds call, but it never dawned on me just what the owl was communicating. An owls call will for ever be a calling back to truth, for me, from now on. Thank you.
Just beautiful Christina, when we’re open to reading messages from God, we can find the most powerful confirmations. Thank you for sharing your message, it’s one that rings true for all.
Beautifully said Kim, ‘…..one that rings true for all’, that is the beauty of truth, it rings for all, as truth is Universal if we feel the truth beyond our ideals, beliefs etc to what the definition of truth is!
What a lovely reflection offered by nature. There are messages and lessons continually offered by nature and all that surrounds us, if only we take the time to stop and observe. Thank you for sharing this Christina.
The magic of God is all around us, confirming, reflecting, validating …. we just have to take the time to pause and look with our hearts first. Gently observing the beauty that surrounds us, then we are open to seeing what is there for us to observe.
Yes, and with our hearts wide open, we see that no attack is more powerful than walking in and with the love of God.
This is so key – just like the sun is always shining whether we can see it or not – God is always there, arms held wide; all we have to do is let go into them and feel ourselves expand in his embrace. I observe so many signs of magic in my day – a feather, butterfly, soaring bird – my evolution is in my appreciation of these invitations from God.
‘my evolution is in my appreciation of these invitations from God.’ Beautifully stated Matilda, this is a powerful message, one that has reminded me of the simplicity of connection to self and by this, with God.
What an inspiring blog. I love the image of the eagle who is unaffected by others, who in strength is simply itself. Speaking the truth (fully) is not something I often do. Even though I speak up more then I used to, I can feel I am still not speaking with the fullness of truth. And it is because of how others may react. Thanks Christina, beautiful blog.
So now you are speaking up nikkimckee and inspiring others to do so! Loved this blog about the magic of God seen in the eagle’s flight. When we are open to see, all is shown.
I love the way you equate the eagle’s powerful wing beat to the holding of your rhythm as you move through life, and this rhythm is something that can be depended upon, something that can carry us through even when there are disturbances and distractions.
Yes, Josephine, I felt that too. And the eagle only has to beat the wings for a short distance until the natural air currents uplift him and carry him on….how gorgeous a reflection is that – a bit of effort and we can then surrender to being totally supported / carried.
Wow love this – ‘a bit of effort and we can surrender to being totally supported/carried’ – why would I ever not put in the initial leg work (out of comfort) to be in position to access the natural air currents lifting me up into the boundary-less sky?
Gorgeous. If we put in the effort, through our choices, we will feel that we are supported, in full, all around us in each moment.
This is such an important note that the soul is there waiting for us but can only come in and connect and support when we surrender.
Christina and Josephine what you have both shared is so super gorgeous – it blesses us all. One Divine moment spread and shared throughout the world – powerful, steady wings indeed.
Yes Nicola, how absolutely Divine that through Christina’s beautiful sharing, her gift from God, becomes a gift to us all!
Yes there is a beautiful steadiness here about this. If our rhythm is strong nothing can disturb it.
Josephine, your words are absolutely beautiful! “We are ever held in God’s arms and how each moment is constellated perfectly for us individually but never taking away from the whole.”
I love the precision of the magic of God that is all around us and constantly sending us messages if we are aware enough to read them, as you were Christina. Your blog is such a confirmation that we are all part of the whole and ever held in God’s arms, and how each moment is constellated perfectly for us individually but never taking away from the whole.
Josephine, I agree. God is always holding us and the messages are there to confirm this all the time, just as Christina has experienced. Sometimes I forget this and feel that I am alone. This blog has been a beautiful reminder that we are a part of the greater all that is God and his messages of love are all around us.
Nature is a constant and all encompassing teacher. It is constantly coming together to show us what we need to see to move to our next point of development. We just need to be open to seeing it and letting our heart interpret what is shown to us.
True katemaroney1, and if we choose not to have the awareness, or open our hearts to see the magic of god all around us it just means we are wanting to stay in our comfort, because in reality we cannot escape the magic of god because it IS all around us. ALL of the time, ever patient and lovingly showing us the way home, a bit like a fish saying “what water, I can’t see any water?”, but it’s there nevertheless.
And it feels so confirming when we do this, and truly observe all the signs nature offers us and apply them to the current moment we find ourselves in. The interpretation in truth from the heart comes naturally and with ease.
I often watch the buzzards flying around my home. The crows don’t like them either, even though they pose no threat to them. The buzzards just keep up their steady flight, some go a little higher where the crows don’t like to follow. Christina is so right, what great teachings god offers us through nature on how our lives can be lived.
“and how each moment is constellated perfectly for us individually but never taking away from the whole.” I really loved what you said here Josephine that all is constellated for us and everyone for who’s to say that there wasn’t somebody else looking up at the same time and the reflection of the eagle was there for them too.
So beautifully said Josephine. God’s love is all encompassing.
Absolutely Josephine in that if we are aware enough to read them or honest enough in what they are telling us. I know from past and present experiences I have wanted to see the ‘lovely’ message instead of the true message which is far more poignant and healing.
True Vicky, we constantly hold a choice to go deeper through the truth, or to convince ourselves otherwise because it feels more comfortable.
Words of wisdom here. When there is an attack, keep focused within and not get involved, don´t get caught in battles with oneself or with others. I have had the opportunity this past week to experience this many times, keeping my connection and not getting involved in the attack, and other times getting involved and feeling how I stop spreading my wings and I fall. If I keep practicing I am going to master it. Thank you Cristina for a lovely analogy.
Christina, I love how you have shown the analogy of the strength as how strongly we hold our rhythms, and how dedicated we are to these rhythms. I had never thought to look at it this way – the more we focus on our rhythms the stronger we can hold ourselves in the face of adversity. I love this because it is so true. It is when we falter in our rhythms that this creates an opening for other stuff to come in and disturb the balance. But how simple is this to rectify – the simplicity of coming back to the rhythms and the very things that support us through each and every day and build the strength within us to keep expressing truth no matter what.
” it is essential to stay focussed and not get distracted or involved with any attacks… to focus and move on.” This is great advice and something that I am coming to really appreciate. By letting ourselves get involved in any way with the attacks or attackers takes us completely off track and often down a slippery slope. ” to focus and move on” like those larger birds (where I live it can be buzzards or owls or other birds of prey) that get attacked by crows, is a great image and one that will support me now in moving forward when something else is trying to pull me back.
Wonderfully inspiring blog, Christina. I love it when something from nature provides a point of immediate reflection for what is going on in our lives. It presents an intimate confirmation or an opportunity for contemplation. Serge Benhayon is a true role model of the dedication and consistency required to continue the steady wing beat of truth in the face of attack, showing us all how to fly again by example, if we so choose.
This shows the confirmation of speaking your truth and the strength you have to deal with anything that comes your way. Love it.
What a beautiful reflection and confirmation of God, which you received, Christina. To stay focussed and in one’s rhythm is the key not to fall. Thank you for this reminder.
‘And the gift to me was to understand that when I spread my wings and show myself in full, I might get attacked ‘. This is a powerful reflection Christina, thank you. I’ve spread my wings on three occasions recently and expressed truth. Sure enough the attacks came, thankfully, I stood steady, did not respond and allowed things to just be. This is huge, in the past I would not have spoken up in the way I did, and if attached, would crumble inside. I made it to the other tree every single time.
Christina this is very encouraging to read. To stay steady in my truth no matter what comes my way. Thank you.
This is gorgeous to read and a confirmation that the magic of God is ever present. I love the closing line especially as I too am so very glad that I have learned to live from my inner heart and not from my head.
A beautifully claimed expression, Christina. It’s very hard to imagine an eagle getting scared of a few crows and not spreading its wings, because we can see and know how massive an eagle is and how much more powerful it is than crows; but if an eagle didn’t know all of that and thinks it’s a crow too, or something smaller – of course it would be cautious and not want to be seen flying about carefree. Could it be that we hold back, because we just don’t know how magnificent we truly are?
I would suggest that this is a very important aspect of our “delay to be in full” – that we just don’t know how magnificent we are. As I can relate to that one hundred percent. A marker for me is, when I have moments where I feel absolutely amazing, in stillness, solid and simply “flying focused”. When I recognize these moments as what they are, I do appreciate it, but I also feel that I could live that every second of my day but simply do not choose to do so.
What a truly beautiful and inspiring message to share Christina – to stay focused on and move in truth, with the love that we are in essence. ‘The starting point to this is first appreciating myself for who I am and accepting that my truth is worth claiming.’ – this is so true. That in developing our appreciation of ourselves and the truth we know we begin to develop a body of love through which our truth can be expressed. Thank you for sharing how empowering it is when we stay with the truth we know.
Thank you for this beautiful sharing Christina. What is resonating is the image of the eagle maintaining his steady wing beat, not allowing attacks from others (the crows) or his own self doubt to disturb his steady rhythm. I will hold this image as an inspiration to stay focussed and true.
Thanks Christina for interpreting and sharing the amazing gift you have received from nature. I also know I hold back my expression however it is something that I will endeavour to work on as the healing from doing so is enormous.
Christina thank you for we are indeed learning to fly to great heights again. To express our truth in full – there is no greater feeling in the body. Learning to withstand the incessant attacks I know is part of our evolution. We get stronger and stronger by the day.
Absolutely beautiful Christina. To know that we are capable, without thinking, of flying beautifully as one with nature, is incredible. Equally to see how easy it is to be thrown off track by another, should we let it, is pretty incredulous. We have a choice in each moment to stay connected as one with ourselves and the essence of God, and who knows how far we may soar.
The divinity in nature constantly brings us such beautiful and strong messages and reflections. Thank you Christina for sharing your experience.
This blog brought up the point for me that how we are in every moment effects the next. As you gave in the example with the eagle beating it’s wings to it’s rhythm no matter the attack from the other birds.
It is important to know your personal rhythm otherwise it is easy to miss a beat and not make it to the other tree.
Very wise said Luke! That is an aspect I hadn’t felt before. The effect of a choice on the next – “to not make it to the other tree” then. It brings me back to the constant “wing beat”, the consistency in making choices lovingly, my true rhythm.
Yes it is a point I need to ‘consistently’ come back to 😉
consistently of the wing beat…
This is beautiful Christina. I know that I hold back my truth and yet Serge Benhayon has shown me from the day I met him that it is ok to stand up and be heard. I need to trust myself and know that I can make it, unwavering, from one point to another if I say what is there to be said.
We think that we might be safe when we retreat and stop expressing what needs to be said in any situation but it actually doesn’t work; not only is it detrimental to one’s health and vitality, it also undermines our self-worth and appreciation.
Gabriele what you have said is very profound. I am not sure if humankind is really aware what effect it has on our body and mental health to not express what one feels in any given situation.
I agree Sonja. It supported me a lot to understand that expressing what we feel can appear in many ways. Sometimes I can feel that speaking out loud just in that second wouldn’t help. But even thinking it in a clear way and staying focused with what I sense is a way to express it and not make it harm my body.
A timely read for me Christina. I can relate in full. Expressing my true self will no doubt attract some attacks, I can see it happening even when I just tip my toe in, and so I retreat, for fear of further attacks. But, as you say, if I/we stay focused on being true to ourselves, we’ll absolutely make it to the other tree, and from there keep flying, and no doubt attract/inspire many other ‘birds’ along the way!
To be able to live life as who we are in essence is a blessing for us and the world. For me, it is practicing living this way with more consistency.
Consistency is the key to a solid foundation of an unshakable rhythm. So whenever I feel myself out of rhythm I can sense the chance to work on my foundation.
I have been feeling my foundation recently. Like I am standing on a platform and from this place I feel so much space around me. Everything flows and each day and each week is an unfolding rather than a striving or doing. When I feel a lack of space I know that I have gotten in the way and come back to feeling my foundation and the space is then there again. As I continue to practice coming back to my foundation in this way, I build consistency, which in turns allows me to build my foundation, therefore supporting me to go deeper in my connection with the Divine that lives inside of me. And so it continues this way and I keep building…
True grace: accepting that there are steps “off track” happening. To keep returning and with that keep on building the foundation. A great reminder to not judge or be hard on myself. Thank you, Robynjones.
It’s a matter of seeing the attacks for what they are – an attempt to distract us from continuing to express truth but we must not be swayed which can often at times be difficult but what comes from speaking truth far outweighs the agony of holding back.
True Deb. We think at the time we are better off holding back to avoid reactions from others, but the pain of that catches up with us ten fold. You’re so right, we just need to see the attacks for what they are – another form of distraction to keep us from being who we are.
Wise words deborahmckay!
Well said Deborah, the attacks are just that, a distraction. I notice that sometimes these distractions can throw me off course for a while but the more I commit the less I wobble.
Wonderful words, Deborah. The body knows when holding back had happened. To me there is a pain coming up that is sometimes hard to handle. This marker in my physicality is a great blessing to be able to see where I am at and whether I am truly open to love.
It’s beautiful Christina to read life and see reflections in all that goes on around us. I often don’t catch things at the time they occur but look back and see what is being reflected to me by what has occurred in my day. This is a beautiful redevelopment of a known way of living that I now appreciate for the supportiveness it gives me. I love your analogy of spreading your wings and not being afraid of being attacked, how often we can measure our actions by the fear of a response from another, that is no way to live though is it.
There are so many reflections in the world around to learn from. When we take notice of them it shows me how we are not alone and we are supported in life. Thank you for sharing this Christina, these types of conversations are not common these days, brushed off as ‘silly’ or other such throw away comments. But is that thinking that these communications don’t happen and that everything comes from our heads no different to thinking that the universe revolves around the Earth?
“But is that thinking that these communications don’t happen and that everything comes from our heads no different to thinking that the universe revolves around the Earth?” ☺️ Love that, Leigh!
I love your comment, Leigh. I wonder if that tendency to brush things off or dismiss them as “silly” has to do with not wanting to see the choice of responsibility that is being offered by the world around us? If we are effectively in constant conversation with all that is around us, what would it be saying to us? If we live in a way that is disregarding of ourselves or the world, what is the message that is going to come back to us, and is it something that we want to hear and take responsibility for?
What a Glorious read. I felt the fear inside of being attacked. There’s still the need (or wish) to live in a safe world. To let my expression being measured to the level that I think (feel) is appropiate to not ‘get in trouble’. But in order to do so I have to choose contraction and not fully live me. In which I am missing myself. It’s like a crazy game and merry-go-round that will never end until I end it. I love your description of the Eagle just keeping his own rhythm. This feels crucial and isn’t it common logic as well. To me it makes perfect sense.
I love your comment on that. I had just commented the above: “Isn’t the fear of maybe getting rejected in our ways? Could it be that because we want to be with the others, we hold back what we see, because we don’t want to cause any “trouble”? Not to rock the boat, to still be “loved” as we believe it has to be on a human level? To me it feels like we have to re-define what love is. That it is based on truth, not being “kind or nice”.”
I definitely know this fear and I feel exposed by your words on the “wish” to live in a “safe” world. And as I sense deeply into that I can feel, that my grace and openness is the safety I am looking for.
Such a beautiful message for you, and for all of us, Christina. What I love is how you expose the fact that we often hold criticism thrown at us from others as equal to (or often greater than) our own expression of truth, and therefore feel that our expression is not worth saying.

I agree. We often have a picture of love being an idealised wonderland where everything is perfect, and so when something comes up that is challenging to that picture we hold it back because we do not want to spoil the fantasy we are holding onto. The truth of it is that true love is all about truth, and without truth love is not true love.
Purpose, focus and commitment and the fact that the tree was placed perfectly. I have definitely felt the importance of moving on this week and awful it can feel when you go against the flow.
What an incredible message, I love it when I see things like that in nature and can get a sense of what is being shown to me.
I love the reflection you were given Christina. Just perfect in every way.
Everything around us is constantly feeding back to us the choices we make, the love we are and the potential of where we can be. The love is there, we are being held and the confirmation of that is in our connection to the inner heart. Thank you for sharing this beautiful experience Christina. Thank you for your expression in the world and for speaking your truth.
A beautiful and powerful symbol Christina about the solidness and strength we can bring to life when we choose to remain true to who we are. Deep appreciation for your sharing.
“don’t let ourselves or others get in the way of what we know to be true”…Thanks Kristy, beautifully said.
Yes, I agree with you Kristy and Jennifer – getting ourselves out of the way and refusing to succumb to self doubt and negative self- talk is key to our true expression – “don’t let ourselves or others get in the way of what we know to be true”…
Christina this is super gorgeous and very relevant for me as someone who does still hold back. What I have been learning is that the ‘battles’ that I get caught up in (usually within) are an absolute distraction away from me expressing my truth. So I am also learning the value of being willing to allow myself to let go of this.
Thank you Christina, this blog has been very revealing for me. How readily I find myself being taken off path when I don’t remain connected to myself and focussed on the job at hand. There is much to ponder on here.
Thank you Christina and Jane, certainly feels better than flying by the seat of your pants, which tends to bite you on the bum. When we have a deep connection to our inner-heart, there is a true humbleness, which never lets you get off the ground before your time. When “connected” it is absolute magic the way life constellates, and brings that which will be our next evolutionary step, if and only when we are open to see and feel the truth of what is presented.
How delicate Greg you put it into words: “When we have a deep connection to our inner-heart, there is a true humbleness..” To me humbleness is the key to expose every self-centered action and opens up to a deeper understanding of the self, the all and the universal truth.
Absolutely Christina, what you share is so true, which is bringing the love to all we do through the divine self.
Love this blog Christina, thank you for your expression and sharing your reading of what occurred. It is very beautiful when we are open to reading the messages that are all around us they are such a support and can help us go deeper in our understanding of what is going on in our lives.
The beauty of the reflection of nature is the steadiness and truth it brings. There is definitely no investment, no demands or expectations. There are “hurts” by how we treat our nature, which is on a very practical level. But the clarity it offers is an undistorted truth. That’s why this reflection is so reliable.
Thank you Christina for sharing, it is so great to get confirmation from nature one way or another, so empowering!
Agreed Alexandre I also love the messages from nature in fact I got some very clear messages on my walk this morning that were very confirming.
❤️ Beautifully said, Love*
Stunning blog – it really is as simple as expressing our truth, staying focused and moving on – yes it takes courage but we are so worth it.
Absolutely True Gem expressing our truth is everything. The more we allow this the more truth there will be in our world for everyone equally. The energetic truth leads us all the One Unified Truth. Our bodies know the way.
Fear is what can hold us back. The only “true” fear of a human being is to get hurt or killed. We are basically raised that there is a beginning and an end. Birth and death. But in the end – hurts are there to be observed, to learn from them and to expand. And if we should be killed – we will come back anyway! So there’s nothing truly able to stop us.
There is also the courage and strength required to express truth – this comes through beautifully in this blog too.
This is beautiful what you have shared, what an awesome reflection to have of an eagle flying. You must be doing something right, keep on expressing in full
No more less!
So powerful the eagle keeping the rhythm of its beating wings constant, no matter what. It is consistency and commitment to the true way that is key. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful communication and confirmation from God.
I know it already is supporting me to stay true and not deviate from my true path; to not be side tracked by attacks or doing ‘good’ things through a sympathy when actually living the majesty of who we all are holds great healing.
Christina thank you for your sharing and the great reflection and confirmation in the magic of god. It reminds me of the support that is there guiding us if we allow and take the time to be aware of what is in front of us. It is also very true that when we do express 100% of us that we all have the strength to fly to the next tree and beyond – no matter what may come in the way.
Christina this was a blessing having been shown the eagle. This teaching is huge and I love how you share that no matter what is going on and the potential attacks that may occur to keep focus and not let this distract you is key. Even as you say those self inward attacks we can go into. That life is about Truth and living with this and expressing it in every moment. To keep steady and keep moving to your beat within and you can fly through the toughest storm and make it through to the other side. Love it.
When you look at the messages from God, in this case with the eagle it is so beautiful and so very clear. To understand that we all get these messages exactly when we need them astounds me. The fact that we all also get a healing when someone shares their message with others is also incredible.
It is an every-moment chance to decide to focus on the wing-beat = rhythm or not. There are so many things constantly willing to disturb us, ourselves being lazy, there’s always someone who does or could want something. And the beauty is to find out more and more, what is really needed, what and how things need to be expressed and when – even I have experienced the above, I read and remind myself everyday of this part of my human free will. That life is a constant row of choices I can create the quality of my life with and with others too.
This is a beautiful blog and is relevant for all of us. When we learn to fly again and express ourselves in full, attacks can happen. I will remember the image of the eagle flying to the other tree without distraction and not missing a wing beat, but just to keep going. Thanks for writing and sharing!
This is such a wonderful reflection – thankyou for sharing your reading Christina. “I am strong enough to keep flying and the attackers will disappear.” A powerful statement – also acknowledging that the first attack can come from within through self-doubt, negative thoughts and self-judgement.
Yes absolutely. ” I am strong enough to keep flying and the attackers will disappear.” Such a self-empowering sentence. Thank you for that Christina!
Beautiful sharing Christina, how nature always gives us messages that help us to see where we are, how we can evolve and that we see the bigger picture. The eagle has overview, sees very sharply from far above the ground and does not have to flap the wings too often as it uses the wind to keep them spread in grace and absolute authority.
Wow – I love how the eagle does not change its wing pattern in any way due to the attack from the crows. That is an amazing way to deal with any situation of attack, and definitely inspiring for me, as when I am in the eagle’s position I react and turn around and try and shoo them away, or speed up or try to fight them – none of which works. Perhaps there is a call for trying a different way! It’s fascinating how that steadiness of the eagle is unshakeable.
Yes, wow indeed Meg! This reminds me of Serge Benhayon – even when being hugely attacked by cyber bullies on every possible front, his wing pattern (way of living) has not missed a beat, nor changed his rhythm in any way. He remains strong and true in the face of adversity, inspiring us all to re-claim our own power and strength so deeply buried within for eons.
Absolutely – this reminds me of Serge Benhayon too, the beat of his wings remains totally consistent, steady and graceful despite non-stop vile and disgusting attacks. I agree he is an incredibly inspiring man.
So true, there is an amazing steadiness and grandeur in the eagle’s composure, an awesome and unshakeable self-command that knows of itself and its strength and glory.
‘Self-command’ what a perfect way to describe it – I love the way you write, it really encapsulates life perfectly.
I love the grace that comes through your words. Grace is power, is strength and beauty at the same time, where a “self command” is necessary. It is an active process to keep constantly choosing what we want our lives to be like.
“Claiming my truth is claiming my rhythm” I love this sentence, it is so true that our truth comes from the way we are in life and the way in which we are with ourselves and all that we can do, when we begin to claim this to be our truth we only solidify and make this a stronger unbreakable way of being for ourselves
Wow Christina I thank you with whole of my heart for sharing this moment of the magic of God and your ability to read its powerful message. ‘Claiming my truth is claiming my rhythm – just like the beat of the eagle’s wings. Not getting caught up in battles with others, or battles within, like self doubt or negative thoughts (which in my eyes have the same power as attacks from others), will support me to find, and keep, my wings beating… and furthermore, allow me to fly, observing the world, able to go from A to B with all of me, no matter what comes my way’. I will print this and put this on my desk to remind me daily of my wings, of expressing and not holding back truth.
What touches me is the fact that, me reading and bringing it on in full is inspiring others. Just as you expressed. That is another confirmation of how urgent it is to really speak up in full – to not hold back – no matter who will be shaken. Thank you!
Thank you Christina for sharing your reading of the eagle and the crows. It is very confirming that I can trust the power of my wings and the steadiness I have because of the way I choose to live. We are here to express and as you I am done holding myself back.
Trusting ourselves to continue flying in full expression regardless of any attack is a challenge. However, as you have suggested Katinka, we can rely on the rhythm we have established in our daily living to support us to continue to express truth.
Yes Lee, I don’t allows realise that I have a very strong foundation and its growing stronger as I speak, literally.
Wow, thank you Christina for sharing this magical moment of God with us, I can so relate to this. To keep flying and holding my rhythm steady is really the key to going forward, no matter what comes my way. And I can see how, whenever my flight is disrupted, I have someone or something allowed to enter and cause me a disturbance. To nominate these entry points and close them for good has been a very valuable tool for me. The more willing I am to go through this process the higher I soar and the longer I can fly.
That’s awesome Judith! “The more willing I am to go through this process the higher I soar and the longer I can fly.” That is what limits the human mind. We think only up to certain points. But only looking at the sky full of stars at night give a inkling of how huge the universe is and how small we think concerning our own lives. There is much, much more to explore and expand to be!
Being attacked for standing up for what you know is something many people fear, because we are not brought up to trust in our strength and the fact that no attack can damage truth. What you have shared here is great for it is encouraging and inspiring people, myself included, to stand up and stand by what they know and feel, and truth that their choice to do so will keep them standing strong.
Rebecca, I totally agree, we are not brought up to trust in our strength and express this. I remember how my bringing up was about being silent and say nothing, this was rewarded.
So true Rebecca. Often we are taught to keep our heads down and protect ourselves rather than speak the truth. I have found that when I speak the truth, even if I get attacked, I am supported. The truth stands evident as a marker or point that cannot be reduced. People can attack, deny or argue a point, but the truth remains.
I agree Lee, when we are taught to stay quite so as to protect ourselves, the question has to be asked as to what kind of protection we want – one that leaves us comfortable but allows injustice, lies and evil to be in the world, or a true form of protection where truth is stood for and no less, meaning no evil or abuse can continue?
We were raised by parents or others who themselves feared to speak up. That’s why we were told not to, to not cause any trouble. To understand that fact helps to uncover the power and truth we were naturally born with.
Yes, Rebecca, I certainly was not brought up to trust in my own strength, I was taught to know my own place, and to not rock the boat. However, I have always understood what truth is, have always had a major problem in telling an untruth, just can’t do it. So now I understand just how important it is for us to stand up for truth and speak up when things are not right. Very much a work in progress in trusting in my own strength to do so, and I have much to thank Serge Benhayon for in my gradually developing that.
I agree, Serge has supported so many to trust in standing up for themselves and others, to speak the truth they so often see and feel but have never felt confident enough to say and live by – it is a very freeing and amazing way to live.
This is a very timely article Christina and one I can definitely relate to. Keeping focused and not going into the drama or reaction of attacks that occur is an important learning as it really does prolong the after affects. However seeing it for what it is and calling it out by expressing it fully and moving on straight away is definitely the away to move forward with this in life.
Wow, wow and wow again Christina. I can so well relate to what you share as I am just spreading my wings realizing what a power, ease and joy flying and being myself in full can be. Exploring the world like a bird that just dared to jump out of the nest’s safety – knowing that my wings will carry me everywhere.
I love what you share about self doubt or negative thoughts, which have the same power as attacks from others. This is indeed the way we attack ourselves.
Definitely Mariette, the unseen attack is the one that goes on in our own minds.
This is a truly gorgeous blog, Christina. there are so many great points in it and I know I will come back to read it many times. One particular phrase that stands out for me today is “Claiming my truth is claiming my rhythm”.
I love this quote from your blog Christina. It reminds me that once we decide to be all that we are, we are able to handle everything and are growing from each challenge or ‘attack’ that might come our way. Actually I have experienced situations for example at work where I was so challenged, frightened and processing. Eventually I learned very much and felt empowered because I was willing to deal with it and learn.
Wow Christina what a magical blog. I walked to the beach yesterday and I was struck by the delicate rhythms of the natural world all around me including the birds calling and the silky wind blowing through the trees. I then felt this throughout my body and it too made me appreciate just how gloriously delicate I was and the power bestowed in that. Nature really has so much to say when we stop, listen and appreciate that we are all this. This was definitely a gorgeous marker for me and reading your blog is perfectly timed.
Being open to the magic of God allows us to see, notice and feel these confirmations from nature to support us in our choices to evolve or not. It is truly gorgeous what can be offered to us and a confirmation that we are not ever alone.
Wow Christina, what a powerful reflection you received whilst talking to your friend and expressing in your absolute fullness. There is much to be absorbed for me from what you have written here as I know I carry this fear of being attacked. I will read your blog again and again as I remind myself that I too have the strength to fly.
Thank you Christina, I am learning about when I feel that an ‘attack’ has taken place, it usually comes as a shock because I had not had my eyes wide open to the facts of what was going on to begin with.
It is always amazing how nature sends messages of confirmation to support us, if we are open enough to see and accept what is being given to us.
A super blog to read and a powerful reminder to stay focused on the course you are traveling (flying) and NOT allow others to distract you.
We are so much stronger when we fly with our wings open and wide and express in full that we must not shy away for the few crows that look like a threat but actually cannot do any harm. The can only harm us when we reduce ourselves out of the fear of being attacked, and the actual harm is not the attack but the fact that we reduce ourselves in our flight and expression. Thank you Christina Hecke for presenting this beautiful and inspirational blog on reading the messages of God.
what a gorgeous reflection Christina and especially the part where you felt that if the eagle had allowed the crows to change the beat of his wings he would not have made it. How often do we allow things to change our rhythm! I know I can easily still go into the battle and this changes the natural beat of my wings. The simplicity of simply moving forward in our own rhythm and express in full is heavenly. Thank you for this inspiration.
Very inspiring Christina – the moment you stepped up, you talked truth, you didn’t hold back, life and nature is responding accordingly. Wonderful.
Yes Ariana …’But how great it is to claim ones truth, to stand up for ourselves and say no to abuse, and yes to the love that we are’. I cannot imagine an Eagle cowering to crows… just as truth does not cower to self doubt or abuse.
Nature is an endless source of reflection, as is the whole world around us. There is a communication with God that I am opening up to. When I choose to be aware, it is never not there, all of the time. It is a great way to confirm and appreciate the choices I make and also challenge the not so good choices. It is the way to have a relationship with the divinity within me, but I can’t say that I have accepted it in full. It’s a daily development and it involves the letting go of the idea that we are merely humans that have evolved from apes, that there is only birth, taxes then death. Since developing this relationship, I have started to feel a joy that is real and tangible.
I love this Christina. Truth does not waiver its course due to those that seek to bring it down – it holds steady and purposeful in flight, and offers a jet stream of awareness in its wake (even to those that close their eyes and ears to all it reveals).
True, because in it’s majesty is no investment, no seeking for something, no protection needed.
Beautiful Christina. When you expressed in full you were able to appreciate the magic of God in the Divine message of the steady rhythm of the eagle’s wing beat being unaffected by the pestering of the crows. I am finding the more I open up to express and don’t hold back that I am more aware of the magic of God in nature and reading the messages becomes easier.
That’s what I observe too. The more I keep expressing and speaking up, the more solid I become in my “flight”, my way of moving through life. And with the steadiness a constant deepening of understanding, love and appreciation is guaranteed!
Thank you for sharing Christina, what a great reflection you received. So often I know I have held back from speaking what I know to be true ‘just in case’ I get shot down or attacked. However, that has never helped me or anyone as everything stayed the same. The more I express what I know to be true and stand up for the truth then the more I confirm the truth and the love that I am regardless of what response I get from the other person. The more I do this the easier it becomes and the more content I feel within myself. And ditto your comment about Serge Benhayon he has been and continues to be a huge source of inspiration for myself as well.
The truth of “not speaking up is just like an attack. An outer imprint turned against self by not claiming truth.” That’s a hit!
Dear Christina, as I read your truly inspirational blog I could feel every word you expressed resonating within me. How awesome is the magic of God, and how awesome it is when we can see and feel it for what it is reflecting to us. We are shown much in nature and reminded that we are one with all of that and we have the choice to be aware of that or not – it’s our choice. Thank you for sharing – it will be enjoyed over and over again I am sure, and I also thank Serge Benhayon for reminding us as students of The Way of The Livingness that we are all part of everything, even unto the Universe and beyond.
what a sight to behold! And an amazing reading at that. The only way to not get hurt by ‘attacks’ is to keep on flying, how brilliant.
Well I would say that it does hurt to get attacked, but the key is to not get affected by it. Simply by moving on. Observing, expressing if needed – and moving on.
Well said Christina
I occasionally see sea eagles where I live on my boat. When they come down low or are struggling to lift a fish they’ve caught back up to their nest they are often attacked by silver gulls hoping to bother them and make them drop their fish. The gulls have the advantage of manoeuvrability but the eagle is king. Steady and not distracted, a great way to be.
They simply do exactly what needs to be done: claiming their space, claiming themselves.
I have a whole new appreciation for eagles now. Thank you Nicholas Bason.
Thank you for sharing this inspiring story Christina. I can feel how powerful it is to express ‘in full’. From time to time I find I will express about something in reaction and will not say all there is to be expressed, this invites attacks, I feel hurt and I then use this nasty pattern to shut down. The eagle keeps flying because it knows it has nothing to apologise for – expressing in full is what allows us to withstand any attack.
I had a picture just the other day of being absolute open, especially in my shoulders, vulnerable and free to express. “Then arrows came flying at me, hitting me. But they just rushed through without even hurting me.” I guess that is what living observing is like.
What a soaring and majestic confirmation of the power of our true expression Christina, this example of the eagle flying steady and not missing a beat when attacked is such an inspiring and lasting impression. Thank you for sharing what you are living, inspired by the teachings of Serge Benhayon.
“He simply kept on moving his wings.”
I love the majesty, simplicity and power of this line. Thank you Christina, for the reminder to keep moving my wings to my rhythm.
Nature’s reflections never cease to amaze me, and your beautiful blog Christina surely confirms the absolute blessing it is. Those crows do not stand a chance when met with the majesty of the wide winged eagle you/we are. The noise of the crows may be loud but cannot touch the truth of the eagle’s steady powerful reflection.
Christina, thank you for sharing this, I love what you shared…I know that I am often afraid of just saying it how it is and speaking truth – often being afraid of the repercussions as well. It’s interesting to note what actually does happen when we do though, because it’s often not what we thought would.
I know also I am a person who struggles to express in full, holding back what I can so clearly feel and see.
Your blog is such a precious gift to me at this time.
The magic of God is so powerful with amazing and pertinent lessons for us all if only we listen.
I really appreciate that you did and then shared your learnings with us.
“And the gift to me was to understand that when I spread my wings and show myself in full, I might get attacked and it can seem very dangerous, but I can make it “to the other tree.”
I love what you have expressed here Christina; heartfelt thanks
Christina this is absolutely beautiful. What a confirming message from the field of God right after your phone call. Not brushed aside, the clear message to continue bringing all of you to everything that you do regardless of any attacks that come your way was pure gold. How gorgeous is your expanding commitment to bring your full power to the world.
I love this thank you. I am becoming increasingly aware of how little we actually speak the truth and how much we actually hold back – and what force we need to call in to do so. Our bodies are designed for truth but we have created a world around us that is made for comfort. It takes strength and commitment to speak truth. I love the image of the eagle holding firm, beating its wings – to its own rhythm, staying steady and flying to safety -which in fact is our own beacon of truth.
Sarah what you are sharing is so true. I was away this weekend with some friends and had some very open and honest conversations, but this was not with everyone. I could feel how I chose those I feel ‘safe’ with to open up more. I can now feel how with this I was not speaking my truth because I was still ‘protecting myself’. Being measured is such a weight.
Beautiful Christina and Ariana. Yes, the self attack is the first stumbling block. To claim our truth is key and a trust all will be okay – this then builds an incredible strength and power which is hard to knock down. I am finding the process of feeling the appreciation, then a move to confirmation which is deeper appreciation and finally to understanding it is actually then for ‘life and people’ is how it flows through my body and supports me to move from self to connecting it to humanity. Speaking up for truth was deeply connected to when someone said to me “you have to be prepared to lose everything.’ This was never a threat but a deep trust understanding of the importance to get myself out of the way and just go for it.
So beautiful how life is continually showing us the truth of who we are and where we are from, it’s up to us to be open to the blessings all around us, loving us, supporting us and showing us the way.
A super symbol, affirmation and understanding Christina of the war or sabotage on truth’s flight and destination, showing that it (truth’s) course is well set, already won and remains affected not by such detraction.
Absolute magic in your words Christina. Even in one line ‘He simply kept on moving his wings’ so much is conveyed. Appreciation is a key to it all and as you allude to self-doubt and negative thoughts can be just as debilitating as an outside attack. I feel that your blog is a powerful recipe for how to make yourself into a truly loving human being.
I love your comment Dean. You know I feel that our self-doubt and negative thoughts can be even worse and more crippling than as you say, an ‘outside attack’. We can be our own harshest critics, I certainly have. This is very sad to consider that I have held myself back all because of a thought of something that may occur. The eagle would never have made it to the other side 100 times over if it second guessed or thought of all the other possibilities first.
Robynjones had made a lovely comment about the “worse” of self attacks. “I don’t feel self-made attacks are worse because they all come from outside of us as they couldn’t possibly come from the essence within us.” To understand that we have created “lacks” in our absoluteness, we have allowed hurts that happened to us coming from the outside to poison our inside. And that’s where the self attacks have their source.
This is a beautiful sharing Christina, and one I can very much relate to. That fear we can take on that will be attacked if we do speak up and express in full can be debilitating and it can silence us enormously. So much so that when we do start to speak up, it’s like a coil let go from our bodies that have been tightly bound to this silence.
But when we do speak the truth without any holding back it is amazing, and the joy and expansion we feel in our bodies reverberates so powerfully that even if and when something nasty comes back to us, we have that marker of expansion in our bodies to connect to. Selling out and not speaking up is what devastates us far more than any mean attack from someone who may be jealous of the truth being expressed when they have not chosen this for themselves.
Katerina I have experienced that too. When I don’t hold back and express in a way that is supportive for everyone equally the feeling in my body is quite incredible. As you say a ‘new marker of expansion’.
I love the reflection of the eagle in this blog and the simplicity in the message that it offers. This also feels extremely important “appreciating myself for who I am and accepting that my truth is worth claiming.” The animal kingdom offers many wonderful reflections of this, of how important it is to remain connected to our innate knowing, the truths we were born with. If an animal didn’t do this then the survival of it’s herd or flock could be at jeopardy.
This blog is very inspiring Christina and a powerful reflection from nature…to feel the power, steadiness and authority of the eagle in its rhythm is amazing. “And the gift to me was to understand that when I spread my wings and show myself in full, I might get attacked and it can seem very dangerous, but I can make it “to the other tree…” trusting in ourselves and our rhythm, and showing we are always supported.
Christina I love the reflections from nature that are there to confirm or warn, from which we can choose to … as you say ‘reconnect to this wisdom and the ability to read from my inner heart.’ What gold we are being offered in every moment!
I too love the reflections from nature. I was showering the other morning and looked down to see a green tree frog was showering with me. I took a moment to appreciate the message and feel the delicateness it was delivered in. Truly confirming and gorgeous to boot!
What a beautiful experience, Christina, to have your expression validated through the eagle that morning. An amazing reflection confirming that it’s ok, you CAN make it, even if people try to attack you. The truth will always prevail. What you share is so powerful and important. Fear of being attacked is certainly something that has held me back in my expression. As you share, the first step is to believe in yourself, to give yourself permission to fly. After that, we’re soaring.
I enjoyed reading this Christine especially the confirmation you received from the eagle. I love the way God reflects through nature the confirmation of our expressed truth. I have found by not expressing truth at the time it is felt, then tension/frustration at my self for not expressing builds up and the situation feels more complicated. If I eventually express it comes with frustration and a possible reaction from others. So my lesson to myself is express when felt as this offers others to feel their truth. Simple really.
Wow Christina, as I read your stunning article my heart soared – not unlike the eagle you write of! I can so relate to what you have shared, holding back from soaring, from living and expressing the truth that I feel within, because I fear how others will respond or allow myself to be pulled down by negative thoughts and self doubt. But as it is a choice to hold back, it is also possible to choose to appreciate myself, and my way of being in the world, to stay steady and true no matter what others may say. The more I choose not to entertain the negative thoughts and doubt, and instead connect to the steadiness within, the easier it is to let go of this old way of being, to stretch my wings and move through life with an ease, an honesty and an openness I have never felt before. Thank you Christina for such a beautiful, inspiring sharing and thank you to Serge Benhayon for always showing there is another way.
The more comments I read, the more I realise that this ‘fear’ we are all feeling is like a disease and the source of the disease is having a field day with all of us, as it has been so effective in keeping us from truly being ourselves… in FULL. This is really huge and I appreciate everyone’s honesty here on this blog because it has really exposed this very common theme/form of suppression.
So True Robyn, I’ve noticed the theme/dis-ease in the comments. It really exposes how it runs in all and the illusion that it is.
To me it is that when negative thoughts come up, I have a chance to reflect and look at why they came up. It is a chance for me to find out where my entry points are. And mainly it is unresolved hurts causing this.
Wow what a vivid and perfectly timed reflection from nature, thanks for sharing this Christina. It is so true that our own self rejection is often the biggest hindrance in claiming and expressing our truth.
Imagine all the power we give to our hurts and negative thoughts over the day transmuted into love to be lived. Just feel into that! I get goosebumps.
It is also inspiring that an eagle is supported not only by the wind, but by the fact that its body reflect kinglyness. Do our bodies reflect this kinglyness to support ourselves deeper in the expression of what is impulsed from Divine Will?
Good point, if the quality of the eagle’s body were to lessen, would he have been able to beat the crows attack? Perhaps, but it was certainly made easier so with the eagle’s knowing his body was strong and well looked after.
Beautifully said 1heart1love1earth, I love the metaphor of the kingliness of the eagle and supporting our body to be thus to deliver the truth in our expression of Divine Will.
Christina, the readings in this are so profound and beautiful. I saw similar the other day where a magpie was being attacked by a crow – quite viciously – and was even pinned to the ground. The magpie managed to fly free off with some of his brothers, and the crow was ‘escorted’ away by some of them. This was a powerful reminder to me too about standing up for truth, and that we are never alone. We have all the support we could ever need so feeling alone in this is just an illusion, if we allow it. Thank you again for expressing this Christina, it has been perfect for me to read this morning.
Amelia this is beautiful, and a gorgeous reminder for me that we are never alone when we do express the truth. Just what I needed to read this morning as well!
‘We are never alone. We have all the support we could ever need so feeling alone in this is just an illusion, if we allow it.’ Why do I/we tend to ‘forget’ this fact? Thank you Amelia for highlighting we are always surrounded by loving support.
I loved reading your comment, Amelia, every word of it. Thank you.
That’s beautiful Amelia. I forget how much support is there for me, for all of us.
As I read your beautiful blog Christina, the image of this majestic eagle is seen flying in the sky—yes there may be some crows around, and they croak loudly (but I feel the sound is also of desperation), yet the solidness, steadiness, and the support of the wind, the eagle is moving its wings slowly and steadily, soaring in presence and confidence. Expressing in truth with wings spread out like an eagle, we may feel we are alone, but truth in expression is deeply freeing and majestic, and how beautiful a reflection this is to everyone to feel. How immensely important this reflection is, to live the grandness that we all are, a reflection that is true for everyone equally when lived.
Quite right, the eagle is very supported and knows it so and uses that support without hesitation.
Crow and eagle are both supported by the wind. But one is choosing to attack and one is choosing to fly it’s majesty. Exactly like we humans do have free will. What are we willing to express? Love or anger? Grace or desperation?
Appreciating that we are able to see the reflections from nature, continually there to reflect back to us how we are being or how we can be. As you write Christina, the self attacking thoughts we have are just as bad, if not more frequent than the attacks from others. So it is down to keeping the rhythm of the flapping wings; the rhythm of every little choice, in accordance of how the body feels, or not. Written as a reminder to myself.
Very true Mark, “…the self attacking thoughts we have are just as bad…” because they are of the same energy, whether they seem to be coming from outside of us or from our thoughts. To me, this is a revelation.
The body answers this all. It feels exactly the same – no matter whether the attack comes from the outside or the inside. Could it be that the self-made “attacks” might be even worse? How could we ever reject ourselves?
I don’t feel self-made attacks are worse because they all come from outside of us as they couldn’t possibly come from the essence within us. It is only through disconnecting from this essence that the attacks have been able to land and stick around. Creating a hurt that we then hang onto for years before realising that we in fact were the ones who created the hurt in the first place from having expectations that were not met. Probably because the person or people we had expectations of weren’t capable of meeting them in the first place. It really is a vicious cycle and one that will keep going around and around until we realise and choose to get off the merry-go-round by taking responsibility for having created the hurt, the hurt that has in turn hurt us consistently since.
I absolutely agree, Robynjones. There is no “worse”. I just had a feeling of that it feels “worse” to have created self attacks. There are attacks I “invite” by my own “choices” but there are also attacks coming when I am claiming my power. That’s when I can feel that there is an energy trying to “stop” me. That feels different to attacks I’ve “allowed” through my unresolved hurts. That to me is something I have to take responsibility for. Although in the end it’s all energy.
Well said Christina.
I agree, Ariana, the big one for us is to truly appreciate ourselves, amazing how hard this can be to do. I have been so one to criticise myself, and never appreciate how far I have come. Gradually overcoming this, and I can now at last say, I am amazing and begin to really feel it.
This is the loveliest of sharings Christina as I too can relate to the symbolism of the eagle. Claiming my truth knowing it is worth claiming is what I am working through now and slowly letting go of those inner voices steering me away from knowing that truth. Your timely blog is prompting me to finally let go and claim my true grandness and love, deeply and with grace.
Go, Julie! Walk your grace, show us all your true grandness – we’ll see you from everywhere around the world*
Such a beautiful blog, Christina, I love it. I love your description of the eagle flying outside your window, and the understanding you received from that incident. Absolutely beautiful sharing here. We receive so many wonderful messages from God through the natural environment in which we live. Wonderful for you to receive that message after you had spoken up for what you feel in the conversation you had on the telephone, just before you saw the eagle. The sentence that really stands out for me on this reading of your blog is when you felt the confirmation of your not being distracted by any attacks you may receive from always stating your truth – “The starting point to this is first appreciating myself for who I am and accepting that my truth is worth claiming”. That feels very much the key for us all in standing up for our truth.
Christina, this is a gorgeous blog and how supportive was the message you received reflected from the eagle that day. Unlike the eagle you observed, too many of us cower to the crow, we give our power away, we doubt ourselves and our expression, we look for another to support us or validate us, we lose trust in ourselves and in the world around us. What you have shared here is very powerful – allowing a deep acceptance of ourself and to fully claim and express what we feel is our Truth.
Yes Maree it is such a powerful blog. Perfectly timed for me to read. I love how things like this unfold at the right time that it’s needed to hear or read. A great scene to remember and to come back to when we feel like our truth is under attack. Just spread those wings and fly and claim your power like the Eagle.
“…Too many of us cower to the crow…” Frankly there seems to be about 90% of people who are doing the cowering and only 10% of actual crows. What would happen if those 90% became the eagles they are? It would only take a week I reckon, before the crows would get it and change their ways. Corruption only happens because we let it.
What a beautiful sight it would be to see so many fly their truth.
Even if I don’t quote ‘cower to the crow’, I let it upset the beat of my wings. The strength and steadiness of the eagle as described by Christina is powerful in many ways.
Isn’t it the majesty of the all which is brought out through everyone by the beauty of their hearts? If that is the place where the impulse to fly comes from, we all would feel and live the power of the all.
That comment left me a little speechless Christina. I know when I do choose to fly from the beauty of my heart how incredible it feels, how connected I am with everything and how I am in the flow of life. Then when I meet with another who is in flight – what comes of that is truly amazing.
“Then when I meet with another who is in flight – what comes of that is truly amazing.” That’s true brotherhood. We all come from the same place. That’s why we feel deeply connected with others, when we first open up ourselves and meet others in full. That’s when we have a chance to truly meet. To feel the base of the oneness that we are. Isn’t that what amazes us? To feel the oneness? Being freed of the need to be individual by the reflection of the beauty of that fact?

I have flown solo for most of my life and had felt the need to be individual. Connecting to others, knowing I am part of brotherhood and feeling the oneness all feel so incredibly glorious.
This blog is an absolute gift and the timing could not be more supportive. I can feel that recently I have not managed as the eagle did to maintain it’s own rhythm through expressing. I can feel that as it flew it had no investment whatsoever in the crows ‘getting’ the truth that was there. Imagine the eagle flying back and forth to the crows trying to convince them – just wouldn’t happen, and if it did it would be so imposing, and would the crows attack less or more? I’d say more, and the whole thing would go into a messy right wrong thing, flying around in circles…well that has been my mistake and this very gorgeous symbol and blog is showing me the steady majesty and love of detachment. Deliver truth without attachment or fear – and fly on, in rhythm, there is great love in that, without demand or need. What a marker to feel am I flying on in rhythm or invested in the crows ‘getting it’? This blog and the eagle and crows will stay with me as this is exactly where my developing expression is at – invaluable. Huge thanks Christina.
Well said Kate. Detaching was the key word here for me. If we detach then we are not looking for an outcome or acceptance/recognition from others but just simply expressing our truth and then if others react that is ok.
Kate and Christina you have both delivered some powerful wisdom. I can totally relate to the crow and eagle analogy and this has given me courage to fly. I have 4 very strong crows at work and I feel like my wings are clipped. I live in fear of being attacked if I speak up. Now I know if I stay connected to me throughout the conversation I know I can make it to the other tree. Thank you so much.
Great response Kate. With that and this blog I’ve gained a huge insight into claiming truth without any attachment or investment.
Beautifully expressed Kate, ‘Deliver truth without attachment or fear – and fly on, in rhythm, there is great love in that, without demand or need. What a marker to feel am I flying on in rhythm or invested in the crows ‘getting it’?’ This is really supportive for me to read, I too try and convince the crows to ‘get it’, rather than staying steady, and being in my rhythm.
Thanks for sharing that, Kate. And as Christina has shared, our job is to focus on building a steady rhythm and the strength in our wings so that we can fly in the world with grace and majesty, no matter what is going on around us.
What you write Kate is a great way to approach or define what expressing with detachment is: steady, majestic and loving, the delivering of truth without attachment to it being stopped and without fear of being attacked for saying it in the first place.
Kate thank you for sharing, I loved reading your comment. “Deliver truth without attachment or fear – and fly on, in rhythm” I feel the truth that love is about detachment, observation and acceptance.
Beautiful Kate.
Well said Kate – I love your response here Kate and can totally relate to what you have written. How easy it is to end up flying round in circles with the ‘right wrong thing’ being the focus if our true purpose is not being lived and we are attached in outcomes in any way.
“this very gorgeous symbol and blog is showing me the steady majesty and love of detachment. Deliver truth without attachment or fear – and fly on, in rhythm, there is great love in that, without demand or need.What a marker to feel am I flying on in rhythm or invested in the crows ‘getting it’”?
Kate, your comment just showed me how I sometimes fly, and how unsteady and indirect this can be. When it’s shown in this way I can see how much hard work I put into not walking my truth and keeping it clear and simple, by instead making it complicated.
Yes letting go of attachment has been something I have been working on of late. Expressing with no attachment or investment in an outcome and simply allowing it to be what it is at that moment. Brilliant thank you Kate and Christina.
Doesn’t it feel so very very different Kelly – really shines a light on just how limiting and imposing investment/need, etc. really is, super uncomfortable to feel the extent and consequences of this, but so glad I’m letting myself see and it’s begun to be on it’s way out.
It feels very warm to read your word. “Deliver truth without attachment or fear – and fly on, in rhythm, there is great love in that, without demand or need.” That is exactly what it meant to deliver. Thank you, Kate Burns!
Thank You Christina Hecke! Your blog and the sharing of the symbol of the Eagle was beyond supportive – and really let me see this so much more clearly – it truly was a gift.
Christina this is a beautiful blog -I could read it over and over – it is very inspiring, thankyou.
Christina, thank you – this is inspiring and gives me something more to ponder on – I have been seeing flocks of birds flying directly overhead – it feels like a strong message and the fact that I see another flock of birds another day, and then another – they fly directly over me – so it is obviously a message I need to ‘get’. For me at the moment my feeling is that it says we fly together, supporting each other. We are not alone. Get out there and fly.
What a brilliant moment to be a part of and an incredible lesson to have. The magic of God at play.
That’s interesting Camel cause I’ve been having birds dive bomb my car for months but I haven’t been able to feel into what it truly means for me. I have tried to just stay open and wait till I can really claim what the message is. I hadn’t thought that it may be about spreading my wings and to get out there and fly.
Lovely Message Carmel: ‘ we fly together, supporting each other. We are not alone. Get out there and fly’, which I will take into my day.
We are able to read it all. And it feels very precious what you are sharing – we support each other – and forming a group is the power of the birds flying in formation is to show the power they have together to not get attacked. That’s why they fly in group orders on long distances. That’s oh too beautiful.
Reading your blog today Christina was perfect for me and especially this part: “And the gift to me was to understand that when I spread my wings and show myself in full, I might get attacked and it can seem very dangerous, but I can make it “to the other tree.” I am strong enough to keep flying and the attackers will disappear.” I reminds me of my fullness within and that by living that fullness and staying connected to it, any attacks that I am currently under will eventually falter and not be an issue anymore. Thank you.
Spreading our wings can be scary at first, particularly if it has been a while since we have spread them or we feel them as broken or damaged. The more solid our foundation is of love through the way we choose to live and the choices we make, then when we are attacked we have this foundation which is unshakable and from which we stand and move forward from.
Spot on! I love what you said about choices: we are the creators of our foundation leading to a steady or unsteady “wingbeat”. Never the less – it’s a choice to spread them and loose the fear of the unfamiliar feeling of doing so. To me it’s an every moment, every day choice!
Hi Christina, I really felt where you talk about attacks can be from others but also can actually come from ourselves in the form of doubt and I know I self sabotage to hold myself back – not fully expressing to avoid the attacks from others! How crazy is that – to prevent attacks I attack myself!
Exactly – that is the craziness we develop whilst not wanting any disharmony or conflict – or to be rejected – or whatsoever. Self attack to not get attacked – I love finding out all about my “weaknesses” and expand myself by healing them.
I love how nature is always there to help us learn and show us the way…
So do I Laura, there is so much support around us if we choose to be open to it. Connecting to the richness, beauty and simplicity of nature always allows me to see things from a different perspective – and to connect to those same qualities that are within me.
This is superb Christina. I can feel the absoluteness in your expression and love your honesty in sharing how you still hold back. This is key for me, accepting that ‘I can sense is truth but still keep holding back.’ Inspired by Serge Benhayon, I too am forever inspired an appreciative of his living reflection that reaches in to ignite truth once again so I can continue the process of expressing and living it each day.
To me this is a very important process – to understand my undeveloped parts, my weaknesses and my strength. That helps me to grow, to be honest – and with that deepen my connection to truth.
Beautiful observation Christina, how your understanding of yourself and life expanded by stopping and taking notice of what was happening around you. Images and symbols that are so relevant to life, I would have loved childhood bed-time stories to have had this type of symbology, growing up knowing we can understand the world and ourselves from these reflections.
I can absolutely relate to that bed-time stories feeling as a child. The best thing about these stories were the fact that they were simple and true. A few words painted pictures that helped to understand a bigger picture. That got lost the older I grew. No one told these kind of stories anymore. That’s quite symbolic for growing up is growing complication.
Yes Christina, the more we admire and appreciate this power in ourselves, the more naturally we fly free and clear in our life. Attackers may come, but the more we know where our true strength lies, the easier any such challenges are overcome.
True Joseph, the more aware we are whereour strength lies, the easier it is to overcome challenges. If we have a solid rythm and consistency in life we can rely on, this is the best adviser we can have.
This is such a fabulous sharing for which I am deeply appreciative Christina. The image of the eagle in flight and his movement despite the attacks stayed consistent in the truth of knowing who he is and his role in the circle of life – there is no reason to doubt or focus on anything less than it’s magnificence.
Very true and beautiful example.. so real. This is true, if we would compare ourselve to that eagle , we actually know that our only purpose is to fly and evolve, and make sure we are having our own beat (rhythm), so beautiful and touching, I can feel the purity and learning from this. A thing I can deeply take into my daily life as a reminder that I never stop flying.
Thanks for sharing your gift Christina, it’s time to spread our wings.
Feeling like your getting attacked is horrible they come with such a force like your being knocked over, holding back ourselves in not expressing makes it only worse, but learning to speak up and say the truth is so valuable and builds the confidence to keep going it and soar.
Your words are warmly touching. It is exactly what you are saying. It hurts – but that is to be kept as an observation – not as a reason to go into protection and self negation! Tender hug to you.
There are such powerful messages in this blog and I’m confident I will come back for a re-read in the future. The wonder of nature in the way if offers us support and understanding is all around when we are open to seeing it and is absolutely awesome. I had an ‘ah ha’ moment when I read your words around true expression starting with accepting ourselves and that our truth is worth claiming. Apart from holding back due a fear of reaction from others, I can also see that I haven’t fully appreciated myself and therefore not confirmed the worth of the absolute truth inside of me as a first step. This appeared obvious when I read it but clearly I hadn’t fully taken that step in reality so thanks Christina for your blog which has offered me insight and inspiration.
Christina I love how you saw the eagle being attacked in relation to what you were going through within yourself. I found it incredible that we are receiving messages all the time that we might not necessarily be seeing or being able to understand what they mean to us in supporting us to reclaim our wings!
Hi Christina, I can relate to having these moments with certain birds, sometimes the message is confirming or it can be playful etc. Like this one time I was driving and talking to a friend about how I have been hiding and really feel how I am coming out and being so much more of me in the world. At that moment a falcon was flying beside me going up and down a few times like it was playing hide and seek behind the guardrail to then take off and fly into the sky.
I love that you were open to ‘read life from your inner heart’, and what a great message to share. Very few of us are willing to spread our wings in full and soar, yet we see just that in Serge Benhayon. Despite the media and cyber-bullying attacks, he continues to be all that he is, continues in his true rhythm. If he didn’t, we, and all of humanity, would miss out.
Very true, Carmin! That’s why we all need to re-learn to speak what is really going on. And not think we are emotional or not with whatsoever. I used to see life very much through the eyes of my mind, had studied law and denied what I had always felt because it didn’t fit into the world around me. And it is very uncomfortable from time to time to claim and speak up for what is there. But that’s better then poisoning the inner most with self betrayal for other people’s comfort.
Thank you Christina for sharing your experience, it was such a clear message for us all. I like the reminder that how we attack ourselves through negative thoughts and self doubt has the same power as attacks from others.
Exactly! Just as Sonja Ebbinghaus has described before: “The most damaging battle which disturbs my rhythm is the one within myself with me.” And I did ask myself: “would an eagle attack itself in flight while feeling his majesty flying, simply being?” That is the tricky part of human free will. We are able to destroy ourselves without any other.
Such a wonderful example, Christina, of the magic of God and how there are messages in abundance for us in every moment. We just have to be still and observe, and we can learn how “to fly again”.
Wow that is beautiful, thank for sharing this Christina. I love how you describe it as to keep our rhythm, to keep beating our wings and through that stay connected and not caught up in any kind of attack that may be coming our way.
Christina how beautifully you describe the path of the Eagle and the reflection it offered. The not letting the attack disturb it’s wing beat is magic to me. The eagle knows its connection to the divine source and stays with that rhythm beating through its body. No space for uncertainty just the absoluteness of its true purpose. Thank you for this very blessed reflection.
Bravo Christina, I love your blog, and “The starting point to this is first appreciating myself for who I am and accepting that my truth is worth claiming”, there is no better place to start than there, and thanks to Universal Medicine I am learning to fly again too.
Christina, I very much like your blog. The most damaging battle which disturbs my rhythm is the one within myself with me. And it is so true what you are saying, accepting and appreciating oneself is the start to be able to observe what is going on in the world and not been affected.
While reading your words I just asked myself – would an eagle attack itself in flight while feeling his majesty flying, simply being? That is the tricky part of human free will.
Christina, it was beautiful to read your experience of the amazing reflection and symbolism of nature. A powerful confirmation for you and appreciation of the magic of God.
That is the beauty of the all, Elizabeth – it is constantly around us – we simply need to open up for it!
We are also blessed Christina, that you ‘read life from your inner heart, to open up for life and people: learning to fly again’ This is very beautiful.
Christina, what a fantastic blog and I love how you’ve tied the eagle and the beat of it’s wings to rhythm. This is so helpful in allowing me to see that no matter what comes my way if I keep my rhythm I can handle it. Thank you Christina for offering this, it’s been a joy to read and feel.
How beautifully expressed Christina. The message you received, because of your openness to life and willingness to see through the eyes of your heart, is a message for us all. We fly when we live to the beat of our own wings. The attacks will come for sure, but what impact can crows have on the majesty of the eagle – the see-er of truth, and the power of that truth in action.
Very true Rachel… Just to feel into the fact that the majesty the “crows (or who evers) attack” can never detract. It can be disturbing, hurtful even, but it will never be able to touch or ruin the grace of that majesty.
This is such a powerful message – shown to you, but for you and everyone equally. The magic of God in all it’s Glory for sure. You have shown us great service to share this Christina – I for one will now always have the beautiful picture of and eagle being unphased by chaotic crows trying to throw it off balance and out of rhythm. I can feel the support this offers me. Isn’t it amazing that we don’t even have to personally witness the magic of God for it to be a divine inspiration.
What a beautiful blog to read thank you Christina. This is also my experience once I got in a “dangerous” situation and I could feel my power and clarity knowing exactly what to do and going for it. This was a beautiful confirmation of myself like you wrote “I am strong enough to keep flying” and the danger will disappear.
There is much being mentioned of late about battles and battlegrounds – “Not getting caught up in battles with others, or battles within, like self doubt or negative thoughts”. These battles are conjured from the mind to create a struggle within and without to ultimately deny ourselves of the truth and love that we are. As you share Christina, If we stay focused to the beat of our wings, to our rhythm and presence we choose to stay with the truth of who we are.
Well said, Marcia! Thank you for your comment
Love what you say here, Marcia – “if we stay focused to the beat of our wings, to our rhythm and presence we choose to stay with the truth of who we are.” Beautifully said.
Christina – beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! Look at the wonders that nature can mirror back to us when we’re willing to see Truth. Outstanding!
Absolutely gorgeous, Christina!!! I too “feel blessed to have regained the ability to read life from my inner heart, to open up for life and people: learning to fly again.” To learn through the teachings of the Ageless Wisdom, presented by Serge Benhayon, who we truly are and the absoluteness of the Universe we belong to has been the most joyful and amazing thing I experienced in my whole life. I feel absolutely empowered and embrace life in full!!!
I can only say “I agree in full” to what you are saying. Just as I commented on Jeanette McDonald before. “But the most amazing thing was to feel the grace of the teaching and the reading from the heart. To feel the connection and the grandness of it.” That’s uplifting!
I loved the image and the feeling the eagle gave me as I read your blog Christina. That would have been amazing to experience.
It definitely was! But the most amazing thing was to feel the grace of the teaching and the reading from the heart. To feel the connection and the grandness of it. THAT’s awesome!
Christina, your blog is really touching me- I love the picture you are painting here, truly philosophic . Your strength in not being attacked by anything from outside is deeply felt and I can sense the picture you being that eagle…Fly and let never anybody hold you back from that.
Thank you, love*
I’ll keep flying – even when I don’t know where I am going to! We have got to simply keep on and trust in everything we are and what is offered us at every moment.
That is what it is all about Christina, trusting and letting go of any self doubt we may carry, and observe and listen to every moment that is offered to us as you did with the beautiful confirmation of the Eagle.
…beautifully said, Alison.That’s exactly it. But we are often not willing to let go and get exposed – even we seek to be exposed. That’s the weirdness of being human.
It is amazing how you can see a occurrence, and look beyond the physicality and see the meaning behind it.
It is a quality we all have in the inner heart. We simply need to allow the space to read the things not from the mind but the heart. Then every second is serving your support
I love the precision of the magic of God, its magnificence coupled with the detail that can be shown to us in a fleeting moment at times. At other times, through the magic of God, time seems to stand still, as animals or birds seemingly linger, well beyond what would be normal, giving us sufficient opportunity to fully receive what it is showing us before moving on.
Christina what a beautiful confirmation of you moving forward and being shown that when you make the choice to stay with you and stand and speak your truth and not be swayed, that there is support for you
You are saying it, Alison!! 🙂
Me, just like everyone else! We are offered to be supported every time if we but only choose to make choices that create space for the support!
This was a beautiful message from God Christina and I love that you felt it was reflecting that you have the ability to make it ‘to the other tree’ if you claim your truth in full.
I absolutely Loved reading this Christina. I love the symbolism, what you said about holding back all things so true to me! Thank you for sharing, blogs like this are so needed in the world.
Keep spreading your wings! It feels awesome you looking at the all!
This is a gorgeous reflection for all of us, I can feel how I am holding back truth to not be attacked, and this symbolism in nature truly shows that when I don’t stop when being disrupted, I just can go on with living my truth. Truth is always stronger than that what attacks it, because truth can’t be debased.
Very true what you are saying. And: can you feel the power claiming you in your words! Very beautiful, Benkt van Hasstrecht!
Yes I can, thank you for confirming that what is me and I am able to live every day.
Thank you for sharing Christinia. Beautiful to feel you claiming your expression in full and the magestic reflection from heaven of the eagle spreading her wings. Truth when expressed from love will overcome attack soaring above and overcoming what tries to bring it down. A beautifully powerful reflection. Thank you.
The moment we let any attacks affect us, we are giving our power away from what is true deep within us to something that is receiving the reflection of that truth outside us and not liking it. They may react but this is no excuse to step away in any way from Truth, the whole truth and the One Truth humanity is truly asking for.
It’s very powerful what you say! Absolutely correct!
Awesome!
The one unifying truth. The only one that truly helps to heal all of us – the fact that we are all one, we come from the same source: love. And that is what we are. Anything but love is not what we are.
“I feel blessed to have regained the ability to read life from my inner heart, to open up for life and people: learning to fly again.”
What a gorgeous reading you did. Also a confirmation for you to not hold back your observations of yourself and others. Speaking our truth, like Serge Benhayon always does, is needed in our world filled with dishonesty and holding back.
I so agree, Monika R, speaking our truth, like Serge Benhayon always does, is needed in our world filled with dishonesty and holding back. It is up to us who have been so fortunate to have met Serge Benhayon to lead the way for humanity in speaking our truth. That is the way that we will be able eventually turn around this dishonest and contracted world that we live in.
If we keep expressing and addressing truth to the best of our ability everyone can create a reflection that will open space for others to expand in truth.
Thank you Christina, for sharing the magic of God at play in everyday life. It is confirming and light when these moments occur and I am realising they are there to see all the time if I stay open to the messages 🙂
Absolutely magical reading your blog Cristina, I love the astute observation of ‘keep moving the wings’, it makes total sense.
Very awesome sharing Christina ~ the symbology and the messages we received from heaven around us are truly amazing. The exact timing and the exact placement of things to bring through the message is such a beautiful thing to deeply feel into.
And the awareness to be able to read the messages that are constantly around us! I feel that it simply takes to stay open and tender to receive.
” … like self doubt or negative thoughts (which in my eyes have the same power as attacks from others), … ”
Totally agree that our allowing of our own attacks on self can be as detrimental as those from others … In fact sometimes even more so because they physically don’t go away – we can carry negative thoughts and self-doubt with us continuously, they can become quite a habit!
A beautiful blog thank you Christina, what an amazing and definite message from God, thank you to Him too!
Wow Christina, I love what you’ve shared… what an amazing confirmation that there is nothing to fear by expressing your truth in full, however much protest another might put up. I need to read this blog every day as a reminder 🙂 Thanks.
It’s lovely to feel this heavens teaching is for all.
Awesome inspiration for us to not to hold back on our expression of truth, and to have this analogy of the eagle expressing itself in full, knowing exactly where it was going, and not deterred in any way from its purpose, despite the attacks in its path. It reminded me that truth is always clear and unwavering, always purposeful and always powerful.
There is only love and anything but love. So it even feels like if we do not speak up for truth and keep flying we decide to attack either ourselves or others by that fact. Cause these are the moments we deny our oneness.
