Involuntary psychic growth is inspired by the energies
of this month. The theme seems to be the influence of dreams (waking
and sleeping) on your life and the new patterns that are now emerging.
Moon phases are often associated with patterns of growth and regeneration.
This month catapults the moon’s energies up a notch to levels
in which you have no choice but to notice the synchronicity happening
all around you.
This month not only do you have inspiration from the dreams. But
those dreams are motivating your conscious self into action. You
now have the life force to finally energize your physical body
into action and manifest the changes you have been desiring.
Most of our desires are built on a shaky molten sea of fear. That
fear can feel like an unsatisfying sea that leads you nowhere.
This causes us to attempt to find safety, security, and comfort
in order to assuage those fears or at least make them manageable.
However, there is another way. That way is presenting itself this
month. It is a leap of faith in which you learn to transform your
most base desires into freedom. When you take those leaps of faith
you unleash hidden energies within the body that give you renewed
strength. This can free you from your lower darker impulses, which
are often the way your ego attempts to mitigate the fears within.
You have a body. Within that body are chakras and energetic centers
that you identify with or those that you attempt to deny and avoid.
But your body is a whole being. You cannot deny that which is
naturally occurring. Often you must learn how to use and harness
those energies effectively and that can take time. It is always
the lower, darker aspects in which we are the most afraid. But
all energy can be constructive when it is integrated properly.
The example is that lust can transform into love and love can
transform into totality. A totality where everything is connected
and aligned in bliss.
Wouldn’t that would be wonderful?
This month take clear notice of your deep desires and dreams and
notice the fear that is underlying it and preventing it from expanding
into your physical reality. It is time to befriend your basic
instinct and allow the true wonderful life force within you to
move and open your world to a new possibility. Most people either
are enslaved by their own passions and energies, they try to control
them (which never works all the time), or they feel swept along
by their desires.
Instead, become more conscious and present with all of your energies.
Create a daily check in with all of them. Start by going through
all your chakras one at a time. Start with the upper ones and
work your way down into the lower and baser life force energies
that you hold. See them all in your mind as archetypes. Give them
personalities and ask them what they need from you and the other
archetypes in order to feel whole and appreciated. Listen to the
answers and incorporate those answers into you daily life patterns.
Awareness is the key to healing on all levels. When something
is denied it will surface in dysfunctional ways that are often
inappropriate and out of context. When you are aware and conscious,
you will notice that energy. If you are not in denial of it then
you learn to sit with that energy and allow all the information,
wisdom, and messages to come to you naturally. This will allow
you to feel more whole and complete.
Remember, you are not just one individual archetype. You are all
of them together. Learn to communicate within and you will be
amazed at how those archetypes that you have denied will become
huge energetic allies in the forward progression of your dreams..
