The energy for June ’22 is described as being very distilling, quick paced, and abundant with shifting of plans. This has been showing up in my world, how about yours? My plans are made for the day or week and then boom; stuff I didn’t anticipate come into play and I am adapting. Now, there was a time that I would have that experience of something blind-siding me and I would “adapt” by basically resigning to it having lost my self-trust or will to engage. These days, I have more awareness about the complexities of the world we are playing in, less often does it throw me out of wack and more often it fascinates me. After-all, we live in a multi-verse.
We are all influencers. We influence our health, perspective, energy; and the life around us too. So if we could actually see it, everything would be in motion, changing colors as vibration levels shifted, and each aspect of life influencing every other aspect. (No, I’m not using mushrooms!) Somehow many of us got the idea, that everything outside of us is static, constant, mostly unchanging; and we are in constant movement. With that perspective there is a tendency to assume weird things like; it will wait, it can stay the way it is.
I know a dog, who is ready to play at any moment day or night. She’s super smart – probably knows over 100 words now. My favorite thing to do is influence her. It might be as simple as locking her gaze and to have a mischievous look in my eyes and she gets the energy! She starts barking and jumping around like “I know you’re up to something. I don’t know what it is yet but I know you’re up to something!” I also practice calming her when sirens are going off and she is alarmed. Dogs are right there, present in each moment and so adaptive. But not resigned. Generally, you don’t see an animal “checked out” or mistrusting itself. They are engaged and paying attention even when we might think they aren’t. They don’t engage in self-sabotaging internal dialog either. (My Dog My Guru” for a fun book.)
Coming off of Mercury retrograde, which by the way is our window into ourselves rather than into the world outside us; we may have some recent “material” to reflect on related to this topic. Speaking for myself, my cell phone stopped working, my laptop, staffing coverage changed due to a personal injury, the shower, sink, and toilet stopped up at home! Oh, and when Bella returned from her senior school trip to Universal Studios she brought back covid. That’s right, she is missing her graduation because she’s covid positive! Which “influenced” many other things like sickness in our home, business coverage at the store, canceling social engagements, etc. She’s really doing well by the way, more like a bad cold in her case. And I have been fighting the good fight and winning, thank goodness! But, back to the point of staying engaged and adapting… When things do go awry, is when we need to keep our cool and stay agile, right? Well, for this month in particular! There is a high growth energy spinning things fast and we get to grow from the experience or struggle – our choice.
I’ve noticed that when I recognize my body tension or the sound of my voice in a higher pitch than usual and I just take a breath, feel my body wherever it happens to be in that moment, things slow down and I can see what’s beautiful, loving, supportive, and divine. I can also feel that I am a part of it! (Remember that poster from the 80’s? “God don’t make junk!”) I feel gratitude mixed in with the uncertainty or disappointment. I feel the divine presence of life taking a turn I didn’t expect. I remember that I am not in control – and it’s going to be okay. In fact, I remember it’s an adventure! Ah… yes. And we are sharing this dream with each other, right here, right now
