The Time of Change is Upon Us
|
|
|
Earlier this month we experienced a rare planetary occurrence, that of an outer planet changing signs. Uranus (revolution, disruption) entered Aries on March 12th. Mere hours before this change occurred, with Uranus in the final degrees of Pisces (water), the world experienced Japan's earthquake and tsunami.
As the planets shift, the Earth is affected. And, since we're energetic beings, we feel it, too. Maybe you've experienced some of the following symptoms lately; a lot of people I've talked to have in some form or another.
As the first sign of the zodiac, Aries rules the head. With Uranus newly installed here, we may experience all sorts of strange head-related symptoms: dizziness, headaches, tiredness, memory loss, forgetfulness, insomnia, strange sleeping patterns, time speeding up or slowing down. Add solar flares to this massive change in our planetary energy field, and the problem is exacerbated.
What to do: Stay as grounded as possible. How? By creating and sticking to a daily routine that supports your health and well-being. A regular routine is reassuring to our nervous system. Be sure to eat fresh, healthy foods, drink plenty of pure water, and get plenty of sleep. Make exercise, yoga, breathing, and meditation practices a priority. Do it for the health of your physical, mental and spiritual states.
Also important for grounding right now: Stay connected with your communities/tribes that remind you of the truth of who you are. For me it's my spiritual communities: my yoga peeps, chanting group, Science of Mind church community, friends and family. Be conscious of who you share your energy with, and make sure your connections are positive and uplifting. Stay away from unconsciousness, negativity, and denial. Just walk away if you have to.
Keep your focus on the fact that we are one, period, the end. Every time you eat, say to yourself, "As I am fed, all are fed," and then really appreciate your food. Or as you put on warm, dry clothes, or climb into a clean bed, do the same. Breath into that connection that we have we every one and every thing on the planet.
Stay focused on what you want. That's your drishti, or focal point. If it's peace in the world you want; be peace. If it's abundance for all, be abundance. If it's being of service, look for ways to serve every day.
Finally, keep your heart open with compassion for those who are suffering. We feel suffering energetically, too. Send your love and blessings to all those who have been, and continue to be, affected by these monumental Earth and planetary shifts. And most importantly, remember that you are shifting, too. Be compassionate with yourself, first and foremost.
Namaste,
Debbie
