THE PLACE WITHIN

In times of chaos….pray

Shap Abbey

Divine Mother

My prayer for the year ahead is to meet my edge with more grace. In times of chaos, challenge or conflict help me stand strong and walk towards my boundary, my edge.

Help me be curious and walk towards my uncomfortable feelings with love and an open heart.

In times of mistrust or division help me raise my head, my lungs and breathe in a stride towards that tension.

May I lean towards my limits with a new learned sense of familiarity. Let this become a place I know and a space of recognisable wisdom.

Let my body and spirit know my edge as much as I know my centre. And may the retraction inward be a soft walk back to myself with compassion in tow.

I pray I walk within my self with affirmation of safety. That I being to recognise this boundary as a recognisable place which is part of my whole. So my edge is a place I grow to know as much as my resting repose.

Amen

Reflection – Needs

Art by Janice

Open my hand to Magnificent One, and stretch out my fingertips beyond all knowing

Feel into the spacious capacity to believe

In all that will be, is palpable, touchable within me

The All is a Presence inside my Soul, hidden from my hands only from a belief in Me

Crescendo upon the shores of my palm. 

I am ready to receive all the shells of this sea

and weave them together,

like a necklace of needs which I now perceive to be reality

Moon phase -Waning in Menopause

This 50 life is a change in the signposts of my being. At this time we are entering into the dark moon phase and I feel it, I deeply feel it.

At menopause I no longer have the last menses dotted in my diary as a clear indication of my follicular and luteal phases. But the lesson is right here, the paper notes, the digital calendar are not the messengers, my body is, I am embodying the phase.

This last week I felt the waning of the moon cycle. I was aware of the turning inward and had a welcome feeling to step down a level of commitment as I employed a new awareness, my body acknowledging the moon.

I felt the nudge, the communication of my body in relationship with the moon. It was like the strings of a musical instrument being tuned in to the flow of energy in direct response.

I am aware that this weekend the earth holds the women in turning inward. A time to rest, to give thanks for what has occurred in this moon cycle. An invitation to enter into a ritual of gratitude for was is, what was and let go of what is no longer needed. A time to reflect on the fullness that occured, the joy we received.

At the end of the dark nights 🌙 we begin to consider what newness to dream into being for the new cycle ahead. We have the ability to create again.

This is also the way of the elder, the wise woman, the women under the moon of menopause. We are welcomed to take the moon phases as our compass. With our feet meeting the earth, her body, our body, and our crown reaching to the moon. We are embodying the rhythms of our true nature for the generations ahead.

6th Power, Climate and Brow Centre Meditation

This is a brow chakra meditation, I invite you in the way of the Magdalene energies to anoint your brow with plant essence in a safe blended oil and to use an indigo crystal if you have one to hand. The brow centre to me is the master centre of the endocrine system, the pituitary gland activation point, as well as the 6th chakra point, the Ajna of perception and knowing. It is the master messenger to the body of emotional health, responsive to all our thoughts and feelings as well as our beliefs and how we are seen, by ourselves and others.

This centre is super sensory, it connects to our healing capacity and belief in wellness as well as freedom, wisdom, knowledge, choices and transformation. It connects to our higher spiritual self and consciousness and the imaginal realms and soul vision. The brow is also in connection to our eyes, the inner vision, our ears and inner hearing and all self belief and thought processes of life and instinct from the outer world and the inner world. It is where we affirm our true worth and trust in our selves.

The crystals I mention are;

Lapis Lazuli, the crystal of self empowerment, the Goddess Isis, balances the masculine and feminine energies, clears the way for intuition and inner realms of inner knowing and higher perspective.

Dumortierite, focusing on a task to be fulfilled to completion. Reduces stress and an over active mind and mental exhaustion. Good for getting organised, for healthy motivation and seeking order and gaining clarity.

Kyanite, brings balance from the mind to influence the endocrine system, brings alignment to all systems, bringing you into your own natural pace and balance. Can be used on all energy centres. Helps with nervousness and helps clear thinking in uncomfortable situations, assists in all cognitive processes. Good for dream recall, intuitive recall and slows us down to process problem solving and messages from the brow centre.

Blue Sodalite, for calming and focusing a chaotic mind, builds creativity, brings a peaceful perspective to overwhelm and creates order and structure. Good for meditation and presence and cultivating stillness.

I send you so much Love 💕💕💕

What is Energy?


How can I see my emotions as energy? What we see on the surface is not what it looks like underneath. Seeing Emotions as Energy is to dive deep underground. The surface level is just that, the top layer. Deep within is a vast environment of essential nature, truth, libraries of stories we carry and galleries of images we have cataloged and kept. There are great algorithms that weave backwards and propel forwards. And these networks of energy I describe are just through the lense of my own enquiry. I am also connected to others, their networks and hives of energy, my ancestral stories and the generations ahead. What deep webs we weave of emotions….we are all connected…

Rites of Passage

Sometimes the answers are so simple, what act of self-kindness helps me heal? Cake. You see I have been gluten free for over a decade and whilst I don’t miss such things as cake or toast anymore, I do miss the occasions. For so long I have not had that rite of passage that actually does mean a lot. I have had no Birthday cake, no candles to make a wish and no celebration for another year turning around the sun. These rites are important, they are a celebration of life.
A great woman wrote that when we are born we are not born alone. We are born with a placenta that becomes our guardian angel. The physical placenta we are born with is full of richness and nourishment and to honour this spiritual passage and guardian we have a placenta cake. We keep on celebrating that life giving connection. So this year I will gratefully be celebrating my spiritual connection, my nurturing, and whole self. I can bake a gluten free cake.
Thank you #robinlim
