What an intense time…I don’t know for you but I’m living a self revolution. Life is facing me with everything that’s needs to be let go of. All very playfully as life is a game. But it’s in my face and if I don’t address it straight away the tension of the pressure is taking on and I start feeling out of place.
The big message is
DROP THE PRESSURE.
And, it applies to all our life.
I am learning to surrender…again. Oh wow it’s a lesson at every step and it’s empowering.
I don’t know anything anymore. I simply know how I feel now. I am being directed straight to my center. If my mind goes outward, I bring it back. And this happens all day and night long, that’s me these days. And I feel blessed by this storm of truth flowing within me because it is clearing me raw. I feel so vulnerable. But I don’t feel weak, I feel so strong at the same time. My strenght is my vulnerability and thanks to me I have the power to hold myself.
I feel like a baby birthing. You know the mother pushes out and the baby has nothing to do but be itself. That’s what’s happening. Life is taking you exactly where you’re supposed to be and the only thing that’s asked from you is to be you here and now.
And when you don’t know, visualize the baby coming out of the womb.
This week there is a new moon which means a new cycle starting. I invite you to read again about the last new moon (my insights here): what were your intentions and your state of mind and doing?
Then, I’ll talk about this new moon energy when it’s time. But before that we have our sun shifting into the house of Aquarius (January 20th). Remember it was in Capricorn with many other planets (my insights inspired by Capricorn)
The wheel of life is always turning.
I was sitting on my mat this morning and I was thinking about what I knew of Aquarius. And I was faced by my new way of being therefore my answer was: I don’t know, so I stopped thinking. Aquarius is a symbolism and there are infinite interpretation of it. Paf! That’s how life is, your own story.
And I took back my mind on observing my breath as I was on my mat meditating…
Now, I am writing these words and it’s time to bring back Aquarius to create my story inspired by it.
Aquarius in astrology is symbolised by the element of air. So the sun is shifting from earth to air. I say thank you for that because it’s been heavy and Aquarius is bringing some lightness in the air. Air is associated with the mind. The sun being our light and expression, it’s telling me that we are coming into a season of expressing our mind.
I want to be clear about something. The mind is not about over thinking and analysing everything. This is the act of a pushy mind. Our mind is the center of our general mechanism of action that’s what it is. It is how we translate what we receive. The mind expresses through our body. Our mind is the cockpit where choices are made to set our direction. How we express reflects how we receive. You have the power to choose how your react.
The mind is your spirit within.
How do I see what’s around me? How do I see the world? How do I see my future?
Aquarius is telling me it’s about OUR VISION.
Another symbolism for Aquarius is the water bearer. It’s this man holding a big jug and pouring water out. I see someone caring for its seeds to grow and flourish.
Which vision do you want to nurture?
Our mind being extraordinary it creates many visions so it is us to decide which ones we want and which ones we don’t want.
As I was sharing with you, I am feeling raw and vulnerable these days and my doing for myself is clearing out what is not now. Which means, each time my mind brings thoughts of outwards (everything that is not what I’m doing right now), I say no thank you. I tell myself what I am doing now. And to make it my way I repeat it. Yes because if my mind feels chatty, I am not expecting it to shush in an instant. There is obviously something being processed and it’s ok. I just direct it my way and I choose the words. Basically I say to myself what I am doing.
I practice what I want for myself.
Remember the baby. You know how we say to the baby everything we’re doing. It’s funny but it means a lot. We are in the now. So I do that. I am my own parent expressing simply to myself what I’m doing now.
That’s what I’m doing now and there is no supportive reason for me to think about anything else. And all our actions are asking for the same.
Observe the kids playing. They are deeply focused in their action. That’s what they are doing now. And the next moment they might be doing something different but they will be focused on it too like there is nothing else. That’s being here and now.
The word vision can bring this idea of looking outwards and seeing what could be. But that’s not what it is. Your vision is now. It’s happening now. Stop projecting and bring it in.
Our society has been projecting everything outside and now everything feels disconnected and nothing makes sense. And we are all overthinking what we could do to make it better. Where is that taking us?
My vision is to care now.
Aquarius nurtures its vision by making it happen now.
Let’s observe more: Aquarius is opposite Leo in the astrological wheel. Leo is the sun, Leo is about expressing and shining our truth. What’s facing us expressing is us thinking it. But it doesn’t mean we stop doing to start thinking, that’s impossible. You know the nervous system treats the informations received to then send back an answer. I would say that we sustain our vision by the actions we take following it. And vice versa as it’s a cycle system. We sustain our actions thanks to our vision.
In simple terms: to be you, think you.
I am doing me now.
So we are doing as we are visioning. We create our reality with all our actions.
Water the seeds you want to sprout.
We are living a revolution of our human society so be your own leader and act now in your daily life in the way you want your life to be and feel like. Stop waiting or projecting for later, you do now.
Treat yourself like a baby growing and address all your needs.
If you feel like doing this now, do this now. You have the power of creativity to make it happen.
We are talking about visioning here. It is you to allow yourself to open your mind to new ways.
I have faith in my vision.
I am not here to tell you what to do because life is showing you all of that. How you feel is your direction. My intention is to share with you how I am inspired by everything and how I create my own stories to support my way.
Don’t pressure yourself telling yourself how you should feel or do. Let it be. Surrender to life and have faith in the power of love.
You do you with care.
I do me, and right now I am my own baby to care for so I embrace myself with my own love.
I love you too,
