You can care for your soul, and the souls of others if you do not let the crazy energy moving through the world right now get to you. The lesson? Well, it is easy to say there is a lesson here… But we can take a lesson for ourselves in moments like these. Fever pitched, with the world going up in flames, hurricanes one after another. Bangladesh, Texas, Florida. Hundreds of thousands of forests are ablaze, marches that lead to violence. Everyone is so raw, the nerves just beneath the surface vibrating, ready to leap after the next punishing touch.
I am experiencing the intensity of this earth energy, which is synced right up to the life here….animal and human kingdom. All of it, rock, star, water, air and fire. It feels apocalyptic. When I say that, I mean it in the original Greek, which originally meant a sudden revealing. Like a curtain pulled away suddenly, the nakedness of our perception, our hearts, our bodies laid bare. Its easy, oh so easy to pull back from such a shock. It is easy to find it is just too much. It is easy to assume what does not actually exist. It is easy to hurt when we do not mean to.
So its important to take care during this time, to open up to a whole new level of letting those energies flow through all of us, even if they are hurricane winds or roaring forest fires. If we don’t, if we hold onto them and do not let them pass, the energy will get stuck in us.

Take time to rest, take time to eat well. Take time to read a book and smile. Remind yourself to give a kind word even to those who are not being kind. Everyone is going through a struggle of some kind deeper down that none of us know anything about. A smile wont hurt, a kind word like salve to the soul. And breathe. Just breathe through your day. Alone or together, let it move through you, feel its rippling energy turn from hard to extreme ecstasy, for surely it can and will if you just position yourself just right. Are these bodies the only line leading us into eternity? No. Enjoy them, cherish them, treat them right and honor them around those who are friend or mere acquaintance.
This, too, is a shift in seasons. This last eclipse, with undertones of Piscean energy, can bring up the deep waters of the soul and bring tidal waves and tsunamis of emotion. It feels like too much, I know….but if you go with it, it has a higher order vibration within it that is cleansing. There are other worlds, other lives, other realms and adventures waiting. This is not all there is, and yet, we should find a way to care for our Gaia before she is no longer ours and we get slowly shrugged off. We need to get our stuff together, no doubt about it, but these times were also foretold by the seers and prophets in Native America. The Hopi, the Cherokee, the Lakota, and more, all have prophecies pertaining to this very period of time. They are described as the birth pangs of our entry into a new world. Called The Cleansing Time, or The Day Of Cleansing, these prophecies have figured prominently in my life and have led directly to my awakening. Its force is like lightening, and it seeks to strike to the center of things.
…And this is not easy to feel when it also is happening to us…
So the way through the nagual (pronounced “Nah-whah”), through the dream of the superconscious as a higher-order aspect of the subconscious and urge for union within, we can begin to knit all parts back into wholeness so that the circle might not be unbroken, so that the Kingdom might come in each of us, the Christ, the Cosmic, the transcendent anchored right here in us and in earth. We can be the bridemaid of earth accepting heaven and becoming married to it om a sacred alchemical marriage (of sorts) without cloaks or religions but hearts and souls…
