WISE ACTION
-
Tuning into our theme of the month for December: Wise Action. I want to invite you to just close your eyes. Take a few deep breaths. And tune into this poem by Rumi: Your grief for what you've lost lifts a mirror up to where you're bravely working. Expecting the worst, you look, and instead, here's the joyful face you've been wanting to see. Your hand opens and closes and opens and closes. If it were always a fist or always stretched open, you would be paralyzed. Your deepest presence in every small contracting and expanding. The two as beautifully balanced and coordinated as bird wings. Approaching into this month, the Northern Hemisphere, we're going into the darker, restful and reflective times, and in the Southern Hemisphere, opening up... and just feeling the beauty of that balanced Solstice energy on the entire Earth. It's so important for us to reclaim the Solstices, the Equinoxes, the High Holy Days, as they were all slightly skewed by the Catholic church in order to throw us just enough off balance so that we wouldn't really notice, but we'd be easier to control. It is Wise Action to reclaim these High Holy Days in your own way, celebrating the Solstices and the Equinoxes in a way that the waters in your body remember; that the blood and the bones within you remember; that your soul remembers. I want you to think about everything that you've been through. Every moment of grief that you've experienced. Everything that you've been through leading you up to this exact point. Perhaps if you had not been through those things, you would not be here watching this video now. You wouldn't feel as though it's important to tune into the rhythms of nature... to nourish and connect to your soul... you wouldn't feel it's as important to Be Your Own Healer. In addition to the Winter Solstice here bringing on a very reflective, I think, very magical time in the Northern Hemisphere, we also have a Mercury Retrograde coming up this month, which again will ignite further reflective energies, remembrance. So don't be surprised if you have a lot of memories that have long been suppressed coming up this month. This is part of healing, is to remember. And while it's not important to always relive, again and again, painful details of our past, sometimes it's really important to just remember who we are and where we come from... the little details. Even the happy memories that we've forgotten. The little things. Life's simple pleasures. And from this place of memory, we can take wise action. We can take everything that we've been through in the past and turn it into the wisdom of how we will navigate the future. And so I want to invite you into being aware and very very present with this energy. It's a magical energy. It's a powerful energy. And it's the energy of this time. Wisdom action from reflection. Wisdom action from contemplation. And remembering and being present with life. Present with all that we're experiencing. Not fighting, just present. So I hope you have a really really beautiful month of December from where ever in the world you're tuning in from and I hope to see you soon. Take Care.
