2020 Vision

Image
20/20 is a measure of 'normal' visual acuity.  It relates to  the ability to see,  the sense of seeing,  vision,  range of sight and  view.  But what is a 'normal' viewpoint in a world so heavily veiled? Which version of truth are we  really  seeing and, if hidden truths are revealed, can we stand strong enough in our own constitution to weather the wobble in perception or will we to continue to unquestioningly believe in Santa Clause, Jesus Christ and the righteousness of war?  The year ahead will surely test our own acuity, willingness and ability to see through illusions and misdirection as patriarchy continues to crumble and we take collective responsibility for our part in it all.  2020 knocked on my door around Oct/Nov and, sensing great change to come, I made a commitment to work with her. The first thing she did was to blindfold me - her attempt to disable my need to know and plan and to enable my already expansive...

The Rhododendron and the Hazelnut

Image
Rhododendron’s love dappled shade and plenty of decomposing organic matter. I’ve wondered many times this year, what in blazes persuaded me to plant a gorgeous sensitive Rhody out into an exposed spot in fierce sunshine? Was it to witness her vulnerability or to perhaps manifest in me a deeper wrestle with nature? 2019, in a hazelnut shell, has teased, promised and withheld; she has danced her dance of 3, using mirrors, seduction and temptation to guide this stubborn old soul into a deeper, more naked surrender. She has gentled my inner Centaur and invited his Chiron wounding to speak. She has asked me to ponder her questions. “Can you be still long enough for the universe to feed you grapes?” “Can you let go of the steering wheel now, sweetheart?” Tears flow heavy with relief as heart dares to sense what it might be like to put down heavy burdens and be held on this level. I mage: Chiron the tiredness by genkkis @ deviantart.net The prospects of relief and ease trigge...

2020 - Soul Restoration

2020 will be a powerful year of soul growth, rebirthing and the humility of 'this is much bigger than me'! She will challenge our viewpoint as she seeks to balance, test and rebalance what and how we perceive ourselves and the world around us. She will offer up many opportunities for us to stand in our own excuses and limitations and to own them without judgment; then she will ask us to build a new world using the humility of Love Wisdom. 2020 is already here; change is taking place and navigational skills are paramount to successful transition. Some will wrestle to navigate the shift into Love Wisdom as their recalcitrant soul rests in stuckness.   And if I say "2020 will present you with some hidden truths about yourself which might be hard to swallow", what's your first thought? Where did your mind just go? Challenges and changes are certain as 2020 ramps up her great work to level the playing field and lead us into a truer expression of self; to hel...

Dancing With Shadow

Image
Shadows by Lindsey Stirling Click the pic to view a beautifully told story of dancing with shadow and light. And a poem from me. Shadow Walker She creeps silent and deeply aware Whispering through your shadows Birdsong in the murky gloom And you sense her presence Dread and fear fill the space Drumbeat of pain and sorrow That darkness You keep hidden With barely a look She senses hidden story For she feels it very deeply And in that moment, She is you She is your witness Your Comrade, Your Father, Your Mother Bringing Ancestor forward To witness your journey You are not alone Many have felt what you feel Many have suffered at the hand maiden of loss Many have kissed hopelessness hard on the mouth Felt the pain of losing like scar on bone Only to rise again Only to thrive again To roam through ancient woodland With Shadow Walker

Divine Archaeology

Image
Divine Archaeology is an exploration into the unknown. It is breaking ground and challenging rigid structures built by the personality; it is allowing light shards to enter the cave of the soul (our blueprint - what we came here to do). It is boldly venturing into unknown territory where it’s dark and unmapped; where we stumble through rubble to get our bearings. It’s allowing our torch (the light of our mind) to shine itself on a something, twinkling in the darkness and in the rubble we spy hidden gemstones, forged long ago by the alchemy of extreme pressure. You brought these gemstones with you into this lifetime; you’ve had them all this time. They are your tools. Is it time for you to excavate and do the great work of restoration, ready for 2020? If you feel a deeper calling and prefer soul work to traditional counselling; if you want to discover the more deeply hidden magic of self, contact me  here . Your light is your wisdom. Your darkness is y...
