Hold it Lightly

Wisdom and support, as we awaken

A weekly two-minute letter

Credit the Source

Sometimes, I have recently returned from four days hiking in Madeira. A journeying, from the highest peaks — through tunnels and along narrow paths, at height — down, under waterfalls, into sub-tropical rainforests; and back again, to re-emerge … different. A symbolic and energetic activation and integration: of the energies of the new book I am writing … into this moment of space and time. Into my energy field; by walking — to an unknown place, which I recognised when I arrived. A moment and a magnetic place, igniting something within me.

Preparing me, to complete the work.

Our world is full of these power-spots; everywhere, all around us — because of the water, and its magical qualities. A vital source which many of us take for granted (I did, and possibly still do — for what it truly enables for us). In how we care for it and how we ‘use’ it. How we are it.

But not in Madeira — with their inspiring network of Levadas.

‘Credit the Source in all that you do, for the Source is also you … also everything.’

There is a power needed, sometimes — to give life to our creative endeavours. A source, needing acknowledgment — for reasons we may not know. And a vitality, to complete something bigger than ourselves.

I have returned knowing the power of our water is awakening. And that we are, too.

And now, back to writing :)

Travelogue:

The LEVADAS of Madeira

There is something about walking which opens the heart. A settling, into our bones and being. And rhythm to breathe … especially when on an island in the Atlantic Ocean. Madeira — a Portuguese volcanic island, closer to the coast of Morocco than to mainland Europe — is just 35 miles long and up to 14 miles wide. Oxygen and magnetism … fresh air, everywhere. So pure and strong, it takes some adjusting to.

I was visiting with a friend, to hike. Four full day hikes — climbs to the highest peaks and descents to the subtropical rainforest. Madeira emerged around 6 million years ago, but the Laurisilva rainforest (from continental Europe and North Africa) is 15-20 million years old and covers approximately 20% of the island, storing vast amounts of moisture and water, feeding into the Levadas, year-round. I was in my element :)

Praise for: The Realms Awaken

‘Delilah Sullivan writes with calm clarity and gentleness. There is no instruction or pressure just space to reflect and to listen inwardly. Her observations feel so grounding and sincere and they trust you to find your own meaning rather than spelling everything out. Space to contemplate and isn’t that JUST what we need!’ — Amazon review

‘This really is a beautiful transmission of love, power and deep wisdom. I'm struck by the lightness in the writing, the clarity and truth expressed so exquisitely here … each transmission sends you somewhere in your own heart. I am a voracious reader of many, many spiritually labelled books, this one is different…’ — Amazon review

‘Sometimes you come across a book that speaks to your soul, this is one of those.’

‘A beautifully reassuring book … deeply thoughtful, kind and hugely encouraging.’
