What did you bury in order to belong?
Venus appeared to turn backwards Sunday. She is in Scorpio right now. This combination gives us the clarity to see into the depth of self. When we go voluntarily, it can be easier. We go there to find what we buried in order to belong.
We walk through the dark to find our magic, power, stability, flexibility, joy and so much more!
"Don't pretend the things bothering you are not bothering you this week" This is a quote from the astrology of the week. Spiritual bypassing is almost impossible this week I have noticed with clients and friends so far.
What makes it even easier to see yourself, is when you truly have compassion for yourself, understand blind spots don't make you stupid, and the embarrassment of being human just doesn't have a hold on you any longer.
This is possible, and for the next 38 days we get the opportunity to go deeper, getting closer to the golden nuggets of our own wisdom. .
In Monday Meditation we started the descent voluntarily.
We talked taking radical responsibility for your life. In that way where you are not responsible for the trauma you have lived, but you are 100% responsible for how you live your life moving forward.
We talked about the fact we all had blindspots, and it isn't shameful when you don't see what is driving your choices, but when triggered by another, we have to ask ourselves if there are, even if in a small way, any places or relationships where we treat another the way we were just treated. We have to drop into the feeling that said trigger makes us feel. (Today I had a big experience of that and that story will be at the end to use as the example of how to work with our triggers)
We talked about self sabotage, anger sometimes being productive rather than destructive, when we know how to express it or use it in healthy ways. We talked about so many dark things in such a freeing way.
We ended with the harmonic resonance filling the room and allowing the body to drop into that. Remembering that even if we get down with the energy this fall, we will remember this is temporary. Everything, every emotion, every situation is temporary. I used this for staying power today while I was in the mud. I remembered it was temporary.
I will make this story about working with my darkness as short as possible.
My ex boyfriend had been living with me since I bought this house and moved in March.
Pretty much as soon as we moved into this house I would leave conversations thinking "is he gaslighting me?". About two months ago there was no doubt he gaslit me as hard as anyone ever had in my whole life.
I made him move out, but the story of that particular event kept running in my mind. Tuesday I could not control it like normal. I started having conversations in my mind with him, yelling at him, blaming him, saying the most horrible and hurtful things to him all in my mind and in my fits that I don't normally let myself do, I found the disgust of myself in me, the pathetic energy that existed in me that allowed him to lightly gaslight me for the three months before.
I imagined myself so pathetic, lying on a cold, wet, stone street somewhere in Paris, lying in the streets with the mice, rats and roaches. I had never felt so low. I merged with the filthy, diseased vermin. I allowed these rodents and bugs to crawl on me, all in my mind of course, but how gross still, and I just imagined their wet, sticky feet and sniffing noses and I let it get as gross at it could get, and because it was imaginary, at some point it became not gross. it just was. Then I felt the hold of the story of the gaslighting break. and I started to feel less heavy in my body.
I woke today fully myself, balanced and grounded with joy.
I have had to work with all my clients this week just like this. It works. You can do it yourself like I did, or you can book an appointment with me if you need be acquainted with yourself again.
Costa Rica
Have you been feeling stressed lately? Have you gotten so used to stress that it is normal?
Are you feeling less organized than normal?
Are you feeling more scattered, foggy and disconnected?
Are you sleeping so poorly that you wonder if you will ever again get a full night's sleep?
Then come to Costa Rica with me.
Every morning at breakfast we will be working with ways to not just manage stress, but how to eliminate stress.
Every day we will work in your nervous system twice to get you more organized in your thought, get you healthier in your body and more connected than you have ever been.
