Who else is feeling the intensity of the collective energy right now? It feels to me like the silly season is here with a bang, maybe intensified by election time and all of that collective pressure to influence, decide, argue etc. I’m noticing how impatient people are being, on the roads and in the shops. Also, as there’s so much upheaval going on in the world, with protests and riots in so many places around the world. I mean it seems like the world in is a constant state of turmoil these days and there’s a lot of fear and anger coming up for so many. For sensitive souls among us this can feel like too much to carry.
Christmas brings out a lot of the collective primal shadows as we feel pressure to conform to the homogenized expectations and traditions that we’ve grown up with in our families and society at large. This is not to say that Christmas is a bad thing, of course there’s wonderful things to be found within tradition and celebration. My purpose in writing this is to draw attention to the unconscious undercurrents that can push us to lose ourselves as we get swept up in the pressure, excitement or for many, the loneliness and lack of belonging that can be more painful than celebratory.
I know personally I had not so pleasant experiences of Christmas growing up. As an adult I would feel so much pressure to make my children’s Christmas as good as the ones I compared ours to on social media. I would spend too much and still feel like it was never good enough because I didn’t have a big family to spend Christmas with. I felt like I was somehow letting my children down and would end up not being able to relax and enjoy the moment because of all of the conflicting emotions that I was trying to suppress.
I felt into this energy yesterday and asked for a card for the collective. I drew 𝐓𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 and I can’t think of a more appropriate card to come out for this time! This is the archetype of balance, peace, patience, moderation and harmony. It is a sign to avoid extremes, practice self-control, and trust the timing of your life.
With the beautiful hot weather we are having in Canterbury over this long weekend I can almost feel the buzz of party season and the pull of wild abandon. I’m not writing this to be a party pooper. Party on my dudes and dudettes!!! This is just a reminder to keep that inner core of self love, acceptance and honour your needs and boundaries 🙏
If you are feeling stressed, impatient, or pushed into emotional extremes this might be your sign that you are in need of a pause. It might be time to re-evaluate your boundaries, and return to your own inner guidance.
I would love to be of service and support for anyone needing to come back to themselves, release emotional intensity that pulls you off your course, explore what needs to be released and where your power is in order to create the traditions and life you actually love 💕
I still have a few more spaces available for the 1st of November at the Zen Space Holistic Hub for Intuitive guidance, Holistic Health Support and Usui Reiki. And my regular day is the first Sunday of every month 😊 with arrangements totally possible outside these days, just ask.
Give yourself a chance to breathe and fill your own cup before you fill others 🕊️
