The 9th April as Jupiter and Pluto continue to conjoin, albeit in YANG phase.
What a time this is. Truly, what a time. Language feels too pithy to word the enormity of what we are together living through, and the words oft used to capture you attention for click-bate, seem appropriate yet a little trivial. But I feel compelled to write this for the many complementary therapists/ healers, spiritually orientated coaches and personal development practitioners who I feel privileged to know and who have stopped by this page to read from time to time – this is what you have been training for!
Never before has your holistic perspective, your experience and your skills been more needed. The world is unlikely to return to the way it has been, and for many, existential questions are finally penetrating their ‘slumber’, questions that require interior exploration, followed by action and movement. Being confronted with their mortality, the death of the illusion of democracy, the reality of how much of their personal/ romantic/ financial/ professional lives are actually their own, the (dis) comfort of a slower life, and the looking in the unavoidable mirror has brought much to the surface that busyness, addictions, distractions could numb. The search for answers cannot be found by further distractions, more education, a new job, a fresh relationship, but by exploring within and searching for the ‘spiritual’ solution to their ‘dilemma’. This is something that you have undoubted explored and continue to explore. And whilst there is no set answer or magic five minute fix, your personal healing journey has amassed skills, wisdom and experience that is invaluable. Little did you realise that those skills will help you navigate these turbulent waters with greater easy, confidence, jOy and understanding, even if your own life is graced too by disintegration. This is your time to consciously contribute to the re-distribution of power and to help those within your ‘circle’ to actively mould and shape their reality so that we do not end up in an updated version of the existing pyramid, when the circle of inclusive leadership beckons…
This is the time of time and the opportunity to birth a new reality based on compassionate understanding, inclusiveness, holism, honouring authenticity and true education, as well as designing a life that balances contribution with quality time with those you love, qualities that you have already embraced…
This time…
