Honoring the Shedding
Whew, what another week in this liminal/threshold space we all find ourselves in. I would love to hear how you are doing, hold space for you if needed, or support you in any way I can. I have had up and down moments, as I am sure all of you have. But I am finding the gifts of the spaciousness I am allowing myself. I am most certainly more open to intuitive information with this new slowing down, with not being as concerned with creating and filling classes. Which in and of itself is good information. And I am receiving a lot of information for the "collective" and for myself. I am receiving whispers of information of a new way of being. Some information I have been receiving for months, if not longer. For those of you who are in my group you know I pulled the Coyote-Divine Detours card..many, many times in the last half of 2019 and beginning of 2020. Well here it is, the Divine Detour I have been bracing myself for.
This past week, I pulled this snake card twice, and I dreamed of snakes; baby snakes. Those of you who know me, know I have a lifelong fear of snakes. I also know that because of that they have infiltrated my dreams for years, and they have huge power and medicine. Particularly in the Feminine Ways, and also in yogic traditions where when the masculine and feminine come together in complete equilibrium you receive an energy surge that some call the Kundalini energy. I am sensing that energy rise, I am sensing we are all on a threshold or an edge we are getting ready to cross, and that moment before crossing it can be a scary one. The snake is also telling me that it is time to shed the skins I have outgrown in order to cross it, and transform into the new. I believe this is a message for ALL of us.
What have you outgrown that you are willing to shed?
Part of what I have been working with this year besides "keeping it simple" is that I am only doing my part and my part is Divinely Guided. My symbol is the arrow which to me means being very discerning and precise about how I am working and what I am teaching/guiding. So as I look at what I am shedding, and the opportunities this slow down has given me to get "real" with what that truly is I am realizing I was not doing things simply, I was not only doing my part, I was doing a whole lot of things that are maybe not my part to do, playing a whole lot of roles. I am in realization that some things I have learned (and this has been true my whole adult life) are just for me and my own healing, or to learn as a way to connect and support others as a weaver. But not necessarily to offer myself. I am in an interesting dance, and I am EXCITED about it.
So my question to you for you to inquire on is. "What is mine to do, what are my true gifts, and how do I share them?" "How do I share them in a way that feeds, fuels, and nourishes myself first and then others?"
This situation we find ourselves in, and that I find myself in without being able to teach groups in my studio, IS A HUGE OPPORTUNITY to really sit with what is ready to be birthed next. I am not sure what that looks like yet, but I feel thankful for this time to stop, slow down, and really vision and strategize. I have to say, I don't know what things will look like...collectively or for me personally and my sacred work, but I can say I am looking deeply at what I am ready to leave behind, what I would like to preserve, and what new goodies are ready to be birthed. I invite you to do the same, in any aspect of your life that feels like needs the most attention, and the most re-ignition.
I am also loving this time I am receiving to deepen into some aspects of my gifts, learn more deeply, and sharpen the tools in my basket. What will emerge is a deeper level of wisdom in certain sacred tools that assist me in bringing my work to you, to be more in service, than EVER before.
And so loves, that is my overall invitation to you. To be with these questions for yourself over this next week, and see what wants to emerge. Not from your head; but from your heart and soul.And then as always bring your mind into the process to develop some aligned actions so your dreams can become a reality.
Love and Light,
Dina
PS. I am going "live" in my FB group frequently to go deeper with these musings. And will be creating some complimentary events via zoom to support you. All conversation and info about these events are posted in my private group. It is also a safe and sacred space for us ALL to support each other. So I would love for you to join us.
