My Life as a Sadhu
Snail Trail
The Beans kindly reminded me today about the snail trail. They taught me that we all leave a snail trail. We all leave our joy, sadness, anger, etc in our wake. So, today they reminded me to visualize my snail trail of joy. As the Warrior Goddess of Joy, I do, for the most part, leave a snail trail of joy…….But sometimes I get caught up in daily stuff……I know that I often do TOO MUCH! My beloved hubby reminds me and helps me to stop doing that…….I do want to be helpful, but I get caught up in helping TOO MUCH. And then I get exhausted. Many of my friends are doing a lot in their lives, especially the ones who are not retired. BUT I don’t have to do what they do. I don’t need to help them with their lives. They have chosen their lives…..this goes for my friends who I adore and love spending time with. I don’t need to DO more to be a FABULOUS and USEFUL being. No No No……….So, I am cultivating my snail trail of joy joy joy and not exhaustion and not depression and not anger and not shame……..I don’t need any of that. I am not saying that feelings are bad. They most certainly are not. They are relevant. They are beautiful. And I can acknowledge them and let them go. What do The Beans say?
The Beans
Hello darlings……yes, this is for all of you……or many of you….or maybe just a few. Hahahahaha…..it doesn’t really matter because the ones this will speak to will read it and love it. And it is all worth it. AND of course we are speaking to the Sadhu. Oh dearest ones…..stop with the DOING DOING DOING already……You can let that shit go. YOU are beautiful and worthy and amazing and wonderful EXACTLY AS YOU ARE RIGHT NOW! Without doing a thing.
It is ok, we can hear you thinking, Sadhu. We will say it as many times as needed……Wash, rinse, repeat. You are not to doubt yourself……remember that your path has been a path of seva, service. This was hammered into you from an early age. You did not hear it from your ma and pa, but it was expected that you TAKE CARE OF THEM ALL. And then you became a Sikh. You found your tribe, your family. AND then it WAS hammered into you loudly……SEVA! Time to serve. Service is where it is at. Serve serve serve…..don’t hesitate. AND since you are no slouch about understanding……YOU GOT IT! SERVE………at the expense of yourself. At the expense of your wants and needs and health.
OKAY! Time to stop. You have served! You have served and served and served. And in the middle of all that serving you created a beautiful man and woman who are your son and daughter. You are like the MEGA server. You are a master server. Stop, darling, stop.
We want you to cultivate more silly. More joy. More fun. More fun and silly with your honey. We want you to serve YOU! This can be your first thought. Does it serve me? Does it bring me joy? Does it cultivate silly?
See your snail trail of joy and silly…….Your snail trail of service to you, your beautiful self.

My Life as a Sadhu
Blissful Solitude
Hmmmm…….My beloved honey is off on a 4 day bicycle trip and I miss him and I also am relishing the quiet and my ability to do whatever I want……Does that make me a bad person or a bad wifey? NO! But I feel a bit guilty since I have been really looking forward to this time alone. AND I know that I can cultivate that when my beloved is here……Still figuring that out. He has even encouraged me to meditate more, take more baths, read more, etc. Why don’t I? For some reason when he is here I feel that I must be paying rapt attention to him at all times. OY! WHY????????? Because that is what society says a good wifey must do, right? How about what I need to do for me? I realized that I was exhausted by trying to be a good wifey. AND when I get into those kind of habits, then it becomes expected, right? I can set myself times where I am not available……wow! What a concept. This reminds me of when my children were little and I would read in my bath. It was my sacred time. But I never closed the door, so my children and their dad would feel free to come in and use the bathroom and talk to me, etc. I remember talking to my counselor about it and she said, why don’t you close and lock the door? WHOA! WHAT????!!!!????? Close and lock the door? Unfathomable!!!
Aha! I get it…….the more I buy into the old 3D ways of being a good wifey, the more my honey buys into it. AND the more attention he demands…..I need to respect my space so he will, also. WOW!!!! This is huge!
The Beans:
You bet this is HUGE! You were wanting to blame him for being so demanding and at times exhausting…….nope! This is all on you, sister! We don’t mean to sound mean, we just mean to sound very pointed and point out to you that you do control your world. You do have the means and the ability and the strength to create exactly what you want and when you want it and take care of you!!!!! YES!!!! Create your space EXACTLY how you need it to be. Close the door. Announce meditation time. Announce writing time. Announce quiet time. You can do it! AND guess who will understand and get it??!! Yes, he will indeed. WE are happy that you went to the Cloud Council for this. AND we are giggling a bit as we know that you know that SO OFTEN it is MORE about YOU, than anyone else. RIGHT???!!!???!!! AND no, this does not mean you are a bad person. This is about you taking care of you and being completely unafraid to DO what you need to do, to ask for what you need. Oh yes! Oh yes!!!!
Cultivate your blissful solitude wherever you are. In your home when you are not actually physically alone. Take a walk. Walk to a park and take your book. Etc. Etc. Etc. YOU are super creative and will figure it out. Remember that your life is fucking awesome and it can become more so. WE love you to the ends of the universe. AND remember that your beloved hubby loves you that much and more.

Letting Go
I just had a birthday. 61!! 61!!!! How did that happen? AND today I feel exhausted. It was a super busy and crazy and fun day but it wore me out! What is up with that? And before anyone thinks or says, well you are getting old…..think again…..I am not. I think today is one of my granny days (see other blog post)…..mellow mellow mellow. AND that is ok. It is perfect. And I can do it. I can do whatever I want. But I do know that I think I did some things yesterday because of others’ expectations. Hmmmmmm……thus the exhaustion. Interesting…….Wow, when will I let go of that? I know it is much better for me than it used to be, but how interesting that on MY DAY…….I don’t seem to be able to do just what I want. I am not whining here……this is just my realization. My issue. My problem. All good. All healing. Taking a deep breath and asking for the download. 🙂
The Beans:
Ahhhhh dearest E, yes, that is one great realization to have. You chose to do things to please others, not to completely please yourself. That is not bad. That is not good. It just is. You are learning to take care of you. You have graduated and with honors as we compare the old you with the now you. AND right now you are working on your PhD for self care. AND that is one intense process…..You are in the midst of writing your dissertation and it is called, “My Life as a Sadhu”. That is one of the reasons you feel called to blog right now. AND we are with you every step of the way. This is a long fought letting go process for you. Your children are launched, your parents are launched…..now let others launch. You know who we are talking about. IT IS NOT YOUR JOB TO TAKE CARE OF ANYONE, ANYMORE! We apologize for the yelling but YOU KNOW it is needed. You have been such a lovely caretaker and fabulous mother and daughter…….the whole world thanks you. Your children are amazing and miraculous and wonderful beings……..and your parents are what they are. There is nothing more for you to do in those areas. And obviously your relationship with your children is a most wondrous and supportive and loving one. Joy joy joy joy joy! You three are super blessed to have that and we must say that this is almost entirely to do WITH YOU!
Yes, remembering to breathe (E just took a deep breath), is important and integral to your thriving survival and radiance and sanity. Asking for the downloads is a great idea, also. The M and M’s are here! We are here to support you and love you ALWAYS……..WE ARE ALWAYS HERE FOR YOU! And please know that the archangels are also here for you. And you can invoke specific ones of us, as you feel called.
This is a message for all y’all……..We love you! If the message doesn’t make sense to you it is not for you. Love, The Beans, including the M&M

Summary of Brenda’s August 10, 2018, channeled 15-minute “Creation Energies” show at BlogTalkRadio.com/brenda-hoffman: So many awakened the past few weeks that your role has become radiating joy as you walk through your creation door. Knowing your life is of freedom and ease will encourage you to become more childlike.
“Should You Go or Should You Stay?” is the title of last week’s “Brenda’s Blog” – her weekly channeled blog for LifeTapestryCreations.com.

Dear Ones,
Many of you are questioning the validity of our assertion a few days ago that you merely need to walk through the door when you are ready, and you will be in joy. Such is so for your life has not yet expressed itself in sparkling joy. In truth, your life may feel cumbersome, even painful.
Let go.

How Old Am I Really?

My Life as a Sadhu
How Old Am I Really?
Dearest humans—I don’t think I have been feeling agitated over the last few weeks with all the eclipses, etc. Perhaps a little but it moves swiftly away as I stay in my joy. Tomorrow is my 61st birthday which just sounds surreal. I am certainly NOT that old……at least in thought and body and feeling……I know the numbers are accurate as I was born on 8-13-1957 at 9:15 am Pacific time. This is true. I have seen the birth certificate. Ha! What is real? Do we buy into the numbers or do we go with the feeling of our deepest and highest selves? I say, Door Number Two! Yes, I am going with my amazing YOUNG feeling, Joy Filled self. That is my REAL self, my inner self, my soul. Don’t get me wrong, I have some sublime wisdom of all those years……I have done a lot of healing work over those years. AND, in some ways I am a completely different person than I was at age 18 or 25 or 33. AND I am sublimely grateful. I am wallowing in gratitude. YAY! Let’s see what The Beans have to say:
The Beans:
You are no number. Or numbers. You are infinite and timeless. You are ancient and you are young. Some days you are an old lady and some days you are a young whippersnapper. AND it is all perfect. It is all good. It does not matter. You are living your life in each moment by moment, because that is the way of New Earth……whatever dimension you like. 5D, 6D, 7D…….yes yes yes. So, some days you may want to be like a little granny and just sit and read, sew or knit or watch a movie. Some days you want to go out in the world and ride your bike, dance a lot, talk to people and eat yummy food. It is all perfect. There are no shoulds. There are no expectations from the angelic world, there may be some from the people around you, but you must GO YOUR WAY, TAKE YOUR PATH! We needed to shout that a bit so you would take it in. Don’t ever let others dictate to you what you must do.
Wallow in your beauty and wisdom. Wallow in your timelessness. Wallow in your love of life. Wallow in your strong body and great humor. Wallow in your loving relationships with those humans who get who you are. Wallow in your fabulous life and your loving spouse. #wallowingingratitude. Hee hee. We can use hashtags, too.
This message may be geared towards the Sadhu, aka Elizabeth, but it will be pertinent to those who get it. To those who need to read it.
So much love coming your way and we are shaking our pom poms with purple and teal and silver sparkles.
Responsibility

My Life as a Sadhu
Responsibility
Hello everyone—I have been thinking and thinking about this one. What do I owe to my family? What do I owe to my friends? What do I owe to myself? It has been quite hard to figure this out. I have been an ultra responsible person my whole life. I basically raised myself, with not very present parents, who were into drugs and alcohol my whole growing up years. I know it is all good because I learned a lot of things and it made me a strong person. I am a good person. But where does my loyalty lie? Is it with me and putting me first? Or do I put all others first? I know the answer now but this has been a challenge for me and very guilt inducing…….
The Beans
Dearest……we know that you know this now but KNOW it to the depths of your soul that you MUST put yourself FIRST. There is no other way. It is the old “put the oxygen mask on yourself first…”. And you are done with taking care of others in that way. Your beautiful children are grown and capable and wonderful beings. Your mother and father are fine. You don’t need to take care of them in any way, unless you REALLY REALLY want to. You don’t even need to take care of your dearest hubby, except what you really really want to do. He is very capable and encourages you most beautifully to take care of you.
We are speaking directly to Sadhu, but we recognize that this will elicit a response in many of you. This is a hard one. Letting go of feeling responsible and letting go of taking care is HUGE. Imagine that you have huge scissors to cut those cords. Imagine whatever you need to imagine to let go of that feeling of responsibility……the obligations. The touchstone is, “if it brings you joy, go for it!” JOY is the key factor here. Take a moment to feel it in your body, if you are not sure. Let go of shoulds, obligations, responsibilities. IT IS TIME!
When we say to put yourself first, we don’t mean this in a narcissistic way. This is about self care. This is about knowing that you are important and must take care of you to be healthy and happy and live a beautiful, joyful and fulfilled life.
We love you humans dearly!
Should You Go or Should You Stay?
Letting go of those folks…… Thanks for the affirming message, dearest Brenda!

Summary of Brenda’s August 3, 2018, channeled 15-minute “Creation Energies” show at BlogTalkRadio.com/brenda-hoffman: For many, the outer chaos is becoming more illogical. You feel like parents watching two children fight over one sand pail despite another available pail. Some of you will continue to focus on outer energies for you’re discovering new ways to create a more equal and harmonious world. Others of you have little interest. You will know your objective by your interests which are more focused daily.

Dear Ones,
We wish to address your fear that all is not well in your life. That what you experienced the past few days will be forever.

Cloud Council

My Life as a Sadhu
Cloud Council
Hello beautiful ones…..perfect ones……I have been off camping for a few days and at some point in that lovely time it occurred to me to share the download I received a couple of years ago. I call it the Cloud Council. I have found that it enhances my life tremendously. It is such a problem solving tool. AND an uplifting tool. A perfect mindfulness practice.
Imagine that you are in a lovely cloud with either just your highest self or with someone’s highest self that you may be having an issue with. I often put myself and my beloved hubby there to work out issues. WE don’t have a lot of issues but this is a beautiful way to clear and smooth the way towards peace. Always ask for the highest energy (money, communication, etc) and the highest selves to be present.
Whatever comes to your mind’s eye. You are the captain of your Cloud Council. Use those images and ask the Beings who you want to join you. I often see myself facing my honey, holding both hands. Sometimes we are looking at each other, sometimes not. I ask any Beings to come and support us. For me this is pretty much always AA Michael and my dear passed mentor/friend, Michael J. Lincoln. They are together and call themselves the M&Ms to me. 🙂 I ask for clarity, for guidance, for success…..etc. If you are having money issues or questions, I suggest that asking the highest energy of money to sit with you there will be most beneficial. When I work with clients, sometimes it comes up to ask the highest energy of their attorney, or a business partner to join. It is NOT about talking it out, it is about sitting with the energy, asking for help, and breathing. Not about solving……trusting that it will be solved in perfect divine timing and energy. As humans we are limited in our possibility thinking so if we can leave it all open to Divine energy, then a resolution will come and it will be more beautiful than imagined. (I had this happen just yesterday. <3)
The Beans:
Dearest Perfect Beings…….yes YOU!
WE highly recommend this practice of the Cloud Council. It uplifts the issue. Use it for the smallest or largest of situations…..communication, money, loving yourself, being healthy, cultivating joy and happy, needing a new job or shifting the energy at the current one. We suggest any and all. Whatever comes to your mind that needs lifting up. And don’t feel that you need to work at it. Just bring your highest self. Other human’s highest selves. As applicable. Any Beings that come to mind (they are already only bringing their highest selves.) We recognize that asking for your highest self as a human does not indicate that you are less or imperfect. Asking your highest self to attend and be present is just a reminder that you don’t need to work this out at a human level. We are knowing that on a human level this has been tried and tried…..endless discussion and not often understanding, right? IN fact, trying to work on it only holds it back. This is a perfect mindful practice, eh? So, that is the reason to ask for all highest selves, highest energy to be present. Nothing else to do. Just BE. Elizabeth always sees it up high and in a cloud, sometimes at a table, often holding hands…….Whatever image works for you. It is all good. Try it and see what happens. WE would be delighted to hear back from you all.
Much love, so much love for all you perfect (ALL OF YOU) humans.
