The winds of change - between eclipses
These are intense times and I don’t think I know a single person who isn’t being triggered and challenged in some way. We are between eclipses and these are BIG eclipses, HUGE, shaking everything we believe to be true, bringing up all unresolved patterns and emotions that need resolution, especially around trust and faith.
The universe is definitely trying to wake us up and move us along, we’re one step on from the heart/head theme of the last new and full moon, we’re right in the heart now. We’re being asked to really look at our self worth and what we want from our lives, and whether the way we’re living and the relationships we are keeping are in line with this. It’s like we cannot have the wool pulled in front of our eyes anymore.
Ultimately though, its about forgiveness, compassion and unconditional love, towards self and others. this doesn’t negate the need for healthy boundaries, this is not to allow us to play out door mat themes in the name in unconditional love, this is about self worth too - as I already wrote - what is alined and what isn’t, deep connection with inner truth, and having the courage to give voice to this
I’ve found it really helpful getting out into nature this week. Elijah is being home schooled for now (well actually we’re in the repair stage but will move to home ed at some point), and it was so heartening to see more of his spirit this week, meandering and climbing at the reservoir and engaging in some nature based stuff with some other home-based children. I haven’t seen him so at ease with other adults and children for a long time now, no anxiety, such a relief. Eben was off school with the common cold, which is circulating, and so he got to enjoy the fun too.
We learned to light a fire without matches or lighter, and got to hang out in hammocks and explore the pathways and stream. There was wood whittling and hatchet cutting. My friend and inspiration, Tara, whisked up some hot chocolate on the fire for those who wanted it. I got my rods out and the children had fun playing with those. It was organic and lovely and we didn’t want to leave. I had forgotten how wonderful it is to sit in circle, around a fire under the trees.
I have a feeling we need to flow with this crazy energy the next week, until the new moon eclipse on the 4th. There are strong winds coming in tomorrow, at least here in Guernsey, the winds of change…there’s no turning back now, the eyes have been opened! Try and get in nature - sea swimming is still helping keep me sane, and on the cliffs if you can, even in the lanes, just breathe the air, see the stars and witness the changing season.
We are collectively being awoken. We can’t keep putting our heads in the sand. We have to face our fears and take them by the hand. The universe will highlight them to us regardless. Life has to change. It cannot continue with us taking such little responsibility. If nothing else, the is what we are being asked to do, stand up, and truly listen to our inner voice and its whispers of a more heart based way of being and living in this world.
