Three themes to the message: Balance, Forgiveness, Healing 

You are all blessed souls with a path to help with the healing of this planet. You have chosen to be here at this critical juncture when souls are waking up and when souls are slipping into the abyss of negativity. The choice is sometimes a moment-to-moment choice, as to what direction you align with.

The theme of BALANCE is focused on adjusting the rhythms of daily life to accommodate the stillness of winter. Take more time for yourself in short intervals to read, journal, sit in silence, nature, or a quiet place. This is important, due to the chaotic energy that is happening, now through mid-February.

Balance with hydration is important in any climate, so consider increasing fluids, teas, and tonics. 

Being outside, even when it is cold or rainy, helps to re-set the clock for sleep and it nurtures and revitalizes the energetic system. Try to get out for a minimum of 15 to 20 minutes a day. 

Looking at Spiritual balance, we are in a period of conflict, finger pointing and blame. Step out of looking at blaming ourselves or others. Notice where we think it is the other person who is creating the distress and bring it back to ourselves and ask, “Where am I out of alignment or not accepting another person or situation?”

Try to neutralize situations by being curious about what is going on, which helps us step out of reactivity, blame and judgement. When others are impatient or unpleasant try being curious, which may bring up compassion instead of judgement. 

FORGIVENESS is the second theme- look at anyone with whom you have a tiny or gigantic grudge about something you have not gotten over. 

Truly understand that when we hold a grudge, we are blocking our own energy, hearts, and acceptance and expression of love. We are sending out a vibrational frequency that will bring more conflict to us. Dissolve it with curiosity and forgiveness. Wonder about what is happening with that person. Ask yourself: “I wonder why I responded to the situation in that way?” It usually goes back to an old story from childhood. 

Part of forgiveness is owning the story that we have about how life treats you- or doesn’t treat you! The universe is mirroring our internal talk about…” I didn’t do it right”, “I am not loved”, “I can’t have or are not worthy of”. Take more time to be curious and compassionate with yourself. Listen to those younger parts that want to be heard and receive some tender attention. 

HEALING is the third theme: Deep healing work for the earth is calling.

Offer prayers and thanks to the Pachamama for the life-giving water and nutrients. Water as the essence of life and love, as it flows through us, we are made of water as well. Appreciate the water in our bodies and on the land. Appreciation of water as we shower, drink it and are around it. Thank it for the life-giving power that it has for you. These prayers heal the earth and all beings on the planet.

Remember that water can be used conceptually. Call in the element of water when we need to release something. If there is something that needs to be forgiven, a challenge or a grudge that needs to be released, ask the element of water to come in to help release it. Call in the sun for warmth. Call in the water, as the vibration of love, to dissolve whatever is sticking to you blocking you or making it difficult to move on.

Consider making gifts like, planting a tree, or offering a donation to someone who is doing ecological work rather than purchasing more things. Give a donation in terms of time that you offer: I will walk your dog, work in your garden, give you a massage, take you on a hike. Gifting another person your time, love, or dedication to healing the earth is a win-win.

The healing that we do on the earth helps everyone on the planet. We are moving into a new consciousness around the earth, that is oriented to giving back to the earth rather than consuming. Without that sustainable energetic exchange, we are heading into more difficult times. There are many ways to give back to the earth: prayers, gratitude, and gifting things that nourish the planet.
