Let us take you on a journey. This is, of course, a journey of Self and of discovery, an analogy for the journey you are taking this month energetically. Are you ready?
Think of something to take with you on this journey. It can be anything - one single thing - that you would most like to have with you on this journey. It can be anything, from the concrete to the abstract. Your imagination is your limit.
Take some time now to savor this thing you are taking with you. Feel it, hold it in your hand (if you can!). Feel its edges (if it has them), and its weight. Feel what energy it, too, carries with it, and how that makes YOU feel having it near you. Really take time with this and imagine as much detail as you can before going on.
We will wait. If you are reading this, take some time to truly check in with your Self.
Are you ready? Find yourself walking, with this thing you have brought also with you, down a dirt path. Notice the color of the dirt on the path and the texture of the grass or plants or stones that are alongside this path you are creating. Look down at the path and see how very beautiful it is. You had not noticed that before! Look how the light shines upon the path - your path - and how there are perhaps shadows cast upon it creating shapes you had not noticed before. Feel your feet on this path and how that feels: are you wearing shoes? Are your feet bare? What does it feel, this connection between you (your feet) and your path? Really feel your weight upon the path now, and most of all, feel how that makes YOU feel.
Now notice this thing you brought with you. Feel how it feels to have it along with you. Are you comforted? Energized? Extra aware? What gift did you take with you in taking along this thing you brought? And, most especially, how does it make YOU feel, thinking about this choice you made to bring this one single thing along with you? Do you feel proud? Disappointed? Lucky? Cheated?
Really feel this, all of it. Hold nothing back; there is no judgment. Simply notice what you are feeling. Take your time.
We will wait. Again, be truly present within yourself and within your own ability to create your own experience and Self-understanding.
Now sit with this, all of this, and think again about your path and how you feel about going on. Are you excited? Nervous? Look ahead now at the path before you. Notice how it is now different, or just the same, as it was before you began really noticing the path itself. Notice how your path makes you feel.
This is your month, then, to really notice your path in life in ways you hadn’t before. It is a month of revealing.
Be aware, though, that the revealing will likely be in ways you don’t suspect! Try to approach your entire month the way you did in thinking about your path just now; in other words, simply notice what is before you, around you and beneath you, and notice too what you have chosen to bring along with you, and then simply notice how all of this makes you feel. Your life is much the same as your symbolic path through your life, is it not? From our perspective it is! And noticing how you feel about this symbolic path, your path, will be very revealing about how you feel about your life’s path itself.
Again, this is a month of Revealing. You have felt on the brink of changes for a while now. Now, then, is the time that these new things begin to come forward and be noticed. It is the same with the world around you; you have felt a great change beginning to take place on a global level, and now the direction of those changes are beginning to become visible. Global change is a lengthy process, of course, but we think that by month’s end there will be more solidity to the direction you are taking not only as individuals but also collectively.
In addition, it is necessary to point out that this act of revealing WILL SHAKE THINGS UP. They may not look the way you expected. You will feel a reaction to that. It may feel frightening, or it may feel exciting; either way, try to simply notice what is going on for you. This shaking-up is, again, on a global level as well, and could result in smallish market crashes, changes in power balance economically, changes in focus ton issues that affect the environment and the earth as a whole, and changes that will affect you (collectively) on a social basis. We have talked about massive change in the past and this month is, of course, a part of that. Many will feel frightened. Change is not easy to assimilate when there is also the feeling that it be balanced with security. Many will attempt to hold on to the feeling of security, thus blocking the path toward change, and conflict ensues.
Expect conflict. It is simply a part of the process, however, and you are as a global whole learning to sort out conflict through different means than in the past. New leaders begin to emerge as old paradigms are washed away through disuse.
Toward the end of the month, you may expect a feeling of unease again as there is more shift focused in that part of the month. Again, after having practiced for a month the art of simply noticing, you will likely be able to withstand that feeling of pressure. If it is your choice to assume burdens of obligation toward others and toward society as a whole, you will likely feel at that time a fair amount of unease due to the pressure you are choosing to bear, but again, that is all part of the revealing process.
You may wish to consult guides or others for assistance in locating your path and understanding your place on it, especially if you tend to feel impatient about such things to begin with. This will neither speed up nor slow down your process, but may help you feel ore at ease. The closer you feel connected to your Self, your life plans, and your personal guides and helpers, the better. If it is your practice to meditate, such a practice will assist in keeping you grounded. Other practices such as dance, yoga, or chants may also help.
