The same stream of life that runs through the world
runs through my veins night and day and dances
in the rhythmic measure.
It is the same life that shoots
in joy through the dust of the earth
into each blade
of grass and breaks into
tumultuous waves of flowers.

Rabindranath Tagore

As we enter the East Gate and the twelve weeks of spring it can be useful, and it does no harm, to have creative tools at the ready. You say, but I’m not creative. Or you say, I know my creative direction. Either way, you’re correct … check out the Free 8-Day Jumpstart Challenge. 

This challenge is helpful at any time of the day, week, month, or year when you feel the need to …jumpstart your creative energy.

In review: the twelve weeks of winter, placed the creative focus on clearing away what is no longer useful. We have had ample time to sense the renewal of patterns in beliefs and behaviors that either no longer fit who we are becoming or feel like the flow of being energized and inspired. I review and see that there were pockets of anger, shame, and guilt stuck deep inside of me. I didn’t know. Now I do. 

Finally, in the moon/month of March, the focus is placed on purifying intention. We consider a hot shower or sweat lodge as we a deep clean and set our direction. Here we are. Standing at the East Gate and the blank canvas of the new Circadian Year. 

Do you feel ready to walk into the ME space of the Wisdom Wheel? Remember the word ME is used as a code for the feminine energy of Isis, the Divine Feminine within, who is orchestrating the deep and true relationship with midwifing the newest truest version of Self.

I have experience with this relationship that verifies magic and mystery coming together to bring forth the deepest dream.

When I lost everything at the age of nineteen; my connection with home and family, my infant son, my body’s health, everything was gone. With the theft, I had the potential for losing my mind. THEN those three dark shadows that were hell-bent on my soul’s murder walked onto my Life Stage. And as they left my Real Life arrived. I gained what I could have ignored.  I could have justified feeling further victimized. Or I could pay attention to and see what goodness, beauty, and intuitive guidance came of focus.

I chose to focus

I chose to unlearn patterns that were destined to carry me down a slippery slope. Back then I began in earnest to practice seeing through my Inner Eyes and listening with my Inner Ears. I had no idea that what I was up to was alchemical. I was shifting the lead of my life into the gold of my new way of seeing and hearing.

I share this remembrance with you, Dear Reader, because we are all subject to hypnotizing ourselves through our inner talking and our way of thinking.

I share these tools because stepping through the East Gate with conscious awareness is a gift, free of charge, that changes everything.

Aren’t you tired of the rinse-and-repeat cycle of the old worn patterns? Spring is the opportunity for the new!

 

Some of us feel a draw toward the new and fresh and some of us pull back and want things to stay as they are. Both of these approaches bring their harvest. I find it helpful not to get too far ahead of myself. I offer my dream/vision up in six and twelve-week chunks. I keep in mind that no matter how long it takes for my idea to germinate and sprout … my growth process is to be honored. This is not a race. I am not looking for likes r for the most views. I am on a mission to create a life that feels like a fit for ME.

These next twelve weeks journey us through the ME quadrant of the year. This is the natural time to tune in and tune up the relationship that we have with ourselves … even if only for 15 minutes each day.

We take full responsibility recognizing that there is no one coming.  The WE quadrant follows arriving at the summer solstice.

Between now and then the opportunity is to focus. Show UP^. Lift UP^. Rise UP^.
