And Now for the Rinse Cycle....

It’s Monday (never a bad day for me!), the start of a new week – and it’s raining outside. This is a big deal right now – because we have had 3 weeks of sunshine (is this a record?) and today I am going through sunshine withdrawal.

Even though we need the rain to water the gardens and the grass….the sunshine was so nice, the top up of vitamin D was even better and now I have been reminded how much I do not like damp cold weather, at all.

So, what’s the moral of this story here? Change ushered in with a shift in the weather or it’s time for a good cleansing or good things come to an end…hmmm….

I think it’s a cycle – and we are finding our new pattern of life (living, clearing, shifting, growing). The rain is part of this overall new order in the same way we require light, darkness, seasons and space.

Over these past few (how long has it been?) years we have seemingly had no seasons, no warmth, no light and little comfort. When it (the brightness) came back into our lives again, it was as if all was right in the world…it’s difficult to think of what living would be without it.

Now that we have entered the rinse cycle, it’s the time to remind ourselves, the sun and warmth will be back again shortly because well, it’s summer!

But, I can learn to enjoy a little rain (now and then!!) LOL

Old Energy Patterns Being Dismantled

Finally - I was thinking late last night before I went to sleep how I was getting the sense of a little break though with this cleanse...it was as if things were starting to make sense or that the goal I started out with was now coming into focus. 

Yesterday I had good levels of energy as well as got some exercise in as well as all the other things I do in a day - I spent some time down in the barn with the goats (because they were in for the day on account of the rain) and that left me feeling peaceful.

I had very telling dreams again last night - dreams all night long of the same things, people and places as well as the energy that was coming in from each of the interactions. In one dream a person who I know to be very angry had shown up at our house and was leaving great piles of old stuff (broken furniture, old clothes, old toys etc.) things I did not not want or need.

I just stood there asking why I had to take this on in my house when I clearly did not want it. Then she was leaving to go get more. In the dream she completely ignored me as if I wasn't even there and my protests fell on deaf ears.

So, that told me a lot. This wasn't anything new of course, an old pattern from family members - being dumped on with things that do not belong and I didn't want. Then feeling powerless to do much about it because my voice was not heard or paid attention to.

I have been wondering when this one would surface - it shows me how deep this cleanse is going but also what I am tackling right now as well. Many of us drawn to these healing professions have these energetic patterns - very unhealthy and dispiriting at the same time.

There is nothing like a deep cleanse to get this moving and hopefully keep it moving out...
