Feeling to Healing Self Care

-
Dearest Fellow Travelers,

Exploring Truth and Purpose through Self-Care continues. 

Self Care rituals help build a strong foundation in which you may return over and over again. The foundation holds that which supports you in your Truth and Purpose. Living in your Truth, and with Purpose, is a day to day process of Self Realization, Self Love, Self Value, Self Appreciation and Self Acceptance. It is the key that unlocks your Light and lifts you up into a more fulfilling moment to moment experience of this sacred journey called life.

Truth requires a knowing of who you are. Truth is the opportunity to feel your feelings and let them inform you. Feelings will inform you of what you may need as you walk your path. Feelings can guide and direct you inward for some soul searching and truth telling. In order to honor your feelings, and give them the healthy space they need so they may inform you regarding your greatest good, a base of Self Care is necessary. From this base or foundation, Truth emerges and Purpose can be a felt experience. 
Feelings have a root. Sometimes the root is, "I am tired, overwhelmed or hungry". Sometimes the root is your reaction to too much outer stimuli, others feelings, or the constant noise of the environment. Sometimes the root is, "this is different, unknown, yet good, right and delightful".
To assist your feelings so they may  give you the clues you need to tend to yourself, express yourself, give, honor, and appreciate yourself, create a quiet time of inner reflection. 

What may be guarding the door of your feelings? Fear. Fear of feeling. It is a cultural, familial, ancestral, human survival pattern. Who has time to feel your feelings when you have mouths to feed, bills to pay, the wheel of materialism to run on? Who has time to feel your feelings when they feel uncomfortable and might stop your outer productivity? Feelings are something to stuff, repress, deny, overlook and deal with later. Later never comes and we end up with lots of feelings that have to go somewhere, and will be tended to without our conscious awareness.

What may be confusing your feelings? Judgment, criticism, shame, old beliefs, worthiness, a scared ego.

Now, it is time to feel, your feelings, allow them to run through you. Honor them. Be curious. Look for the root, and calm yourself. Feelings require your tending. Feelings require you stop and feel. They will dissipate. They will release. The confusion will make way for insight. They will guide. The feelings simply want to be acknowledged.

This can be done through journaling, writing, talking it out with a trusted friend or counselor. Feeling can be honored and felt in self care rituals like walking, or bathing, or sitting in nature. Create space for you to feel. 
There is no right or wrong way to feel your feelings. It does not have to be intense, or catharctic, or dramatic, or it may be. The experience of feeling your feelings with the intention of loving and tending to yourself, is all that is required. The build up is usually worse than the actual experience. Always, always be kind to yourself and practice non-judgment. 

We are in a time when we are growing and evolving as a human/spirit being. We are capable of healing now, and feeling, and tending, providing for our, ever growing self, and there is no other more important work than to do our own healing, feeling, and self care.

And, it is always a choice. Your own sacred, powerful, potent choice, to heal, feel, tend, and get to know the glorious unique human/spirit being that you are!

This is your purpose. 

Shine on Glorious Being.

As always, I wish you well on this journey of life. I am here, in offering of safe and sacred space to feel and heal, tend and guide and assist you in awakening your light.

Love,
Mary

Full Moon in Sagittarius! The Big Ask

  Hello Fellow Travelers, Time to gather round the fires of late spring and chat up what your plans are for this coming summer. And beyond. The full moon in Sagittarius occurs this coming Saturday brings so very much positivity and optimism to everything and everyone. This week leading up to the full moon may be either incredibly inspirational or incredibly annoying. That depends on how well you meet your inner optimist. You would fare well by listening to that optimist and taking action. If you take action on one small goal this week it will benefit you tenfold. If you hesitate or talk yourself out of it, or in anyway buy into your inner critic, that too will multiply tenfold. Whatever you focus on grows. You have heard that adage, well it is especially true this week. Use it to your advantage. Check your inner critic. Take a risk, take a leap. The smallest risk, as long as it has to do with your own inner faith and trust in Self, will bring an abundance of reward. Be very clear t...

Boundaries, Bamboo and Birth

Hello Fellow Travelers,  We have entered into a cycle of retrograde and this is always a good time to recharge and re-group. Giving ourselves time to replenish creates better flow, healing, clarity and awareness. We all know this, yet sometimes we forget.  The energy leading up to the Mercury Retrograde in the cosmos asks us to better understand the archetype of Mercury. Who is this god and why does he get so much air time lately? How can we use this energy to benefit our lives? In retrograde, Mercury is standing still for a short spell, it is our cue to think before we speak, step back, or stand firm like bamboo. Think twice and then three times before acting or choosing. Be discerning. Mercury loves to pick things apart and put them back together again. Rumination? Perhaps, but necessary rumination. Rumination that leads you to a deeper understanding of what is important to you now. What was important last year may not be important to you now, or ever again.  W...

Life is Messy I and II

Last week's message was about the messiness of life, the ups, downs, ins and outs. The minute you think you got it figured out, life will indeed give you something else. There is a lot going on out in the world and we are inundated with it on a moment to moment basis. It seems messier this week than last. What to do? I suggest you delve in and see where it takes you. First of all, what is messy to you?  You all have your own definition and I would encourage you to find yours and work with it. Messy to me is the opposite of harmony and peace. It is feelings as well as experiences of unrest, unease, discord, disharmony, etc. It's when I or someone I love or care about is hurt, upset or in trouble. Messy is witnessing or being on the receiving end of cruelty in words or deeds. I have experienced my share of messy situations, as has everyone alive today. I have been cleaning up messes since childhood. Not only cleaning up messes, but then striving to keep order of ...
