There are times of energy shift, more than most of us notice, I believe.
And there are times of energy shift when something is happening and we feel it, though we aren't sure what is happening.
Then there are times that the energy shifts and we know it. In the cells of our bones and our organs and processes, we feel the movements and the winds and we go with it. Or maybe resist.
So it is right now - a time of transition. As we walk toward spring and return to light. As we emerge from darkness and seeds start to sprout.
Recently I've been working on metabolizing anger and releasing it. Sometimes using Tonglen to move it through so it doesn't get stuck and come out in other ways. Sometimes using energy protocols with hand mudras - breathing, visualization. All to move forward and heal and walk my true path.
An added bonus to this work is being open. These last couple of weeks I have gathered pieces of conversations, from Starbucks and Sushi Hana and Poppa's Haven and outside the library while driving to work listening to an interview of an author on NPR. Bits of talk and observations and ideas coming to me and I send myself an email to my special folder where the ideas are saved. I now have over 200 of these bits of collected inspirations.
Approaching spring.
Thinking about my future.
Looking into options of what I want to do next.
And along come story ideas. Poetry ideas. A title. A character. A line.
Energy. Open. Light.
