Light at the End of the Tunnel.
| With all that is currently happening in the external world – elections, wars, supply chain issues, cost of living increase, geomagnetic and weather events (to name but a few), it has certainly felt intense, and required exceptional resourcefulness to stay grounded and focused. As a friend in London said, at times, it would be easier to stay curled up under the doona (or duvet depending on where you live).
The month of April saw a rare weekend of three spiritual and esoteric festivals – Passover, Easterand Ramadan. This year, they all aligned to a great wave of alchemical energy by the stars above. This is not a common occurrence for all three to be concurrent and then on the 20th April, to further deepen this energy, a rare planet formation which has not occurred since 947AD! Mars, Venus, Jupiter and Saturn in formation across the sky visible to the naked eye. Whilst not in the same exact formation, this line up of planets will continue until the end of May together with ‘ripples’ coming from the solar eclipse end April and lunar eclipse mid May. These stars are aligning to say that the Universe is watching us and we are all being tested in our true worth and how we are living our ‘values’. Individually, collectively and globally. Over Lit and Illumined… It is a time of wanting to feel both the beauty and the pain of the age we are living in. The shadows are coming to light, and it is important not to be pulled under. This is a time to feel the restoration and resurrection as they flow in. A time of being illumined, moving from getting what I want to a different reference point around which to organise your experience: • Focus on what’s working, instead of what’s not working • Realise what you’re finding, not what you’re losing • Notice what is opening up when so much is closing down • Look for the grace in the silver lining. It is easy to feel as though this you are experiencing both – ‘Dream Time’ or ‘Delusional Nightmare’ – discernment and steadfastness in oneself is essential. Will we as individuals learn the lessons of the unintended consequences of the global ‘pause’ and the war on Ukraine. |
| This is not just about you, your life, your dream, but how you are connected to the whole.
Can we as a ‘collective’ embrace the wake up call to the existence of life beyond 21st century materialism and consumerism? As Lynne Twist, author of Soul of Money, repeatedly says: When will we honour sufficiency? This is an opportune time to ask yourself: It is important to ground yourself as you navigate these changing energies. Balance living between ‘structure’ – supportive routines – and ‘surprise’ – the spontaneous, unplanned and ‘mysterial’. Start now by deliberately attracting new people, new ideas and new encounters into your life by sensing and embracing emerging flickers of possibility. Follow your hunches and take every opportunity to expand your world – even if it feels like the world is dissolving in many ways in front of you. Practice self-care in whatever way that looks like for you, and stay ‘grounded’. Pay attention to the agendas you fuel with your consciousness. Know where you energy is being pulled. Be aware of agendas at play, and know that when one disappears another appears. Stand for the whole rather than choosing sides with ‘discernment’, wisdom and perspective. A client – who is very aware, and has a grounded well established practice, only last week stated that even he has felt as though he was on a wobble board the past month, and that he had to be even more vigilant in managing his consciousness. This is something which is not usually an issue for him. He stands tall in his truth. Remember it is time to leave some old things behind, things that bind you too much to one belief system, one story, one culture or the other. Reflect and Journal: • Where is your consciousness? • What are you creating? • What are you affirming with your thoughts, words, actions feelings? |
