AIR

~ Invitation ~

This time is an opportunity to dance with the threshold. To tentatively play in the liminal realms with one foot in winter and one toe of the other foot peeking out to feel the stirrings. Like the seed you are beginning to crack open from the protective shell and invite more expansion and possibility.

MOON

Taurus Moon taps our subconscious in the shoulder and asks us to consider how we will bring something about

SUN

The waxing moon is reflecting the Sun in Aquarius with half of its full power illuminating the surface - what insights are growing from where you find yourself?

ALTAR

Imbolc is here and your altar is ready for a fresh shift in cleansing energy. Like a cool splash of sacred well water - it awakens you and brings you up out of the depths of the winter. This is a good time to energetically clean your home and consider what spaces need to be renewed in their energy.

EMBODIMENT PRACTICE

Keep moving as the seed - continuing this movement exploration

Curl up into a ball on the floor. Notice your body and the subtleties that you may not have been fathoming from the dizzy heights of your head. Sense the weight of yourself and the weight of gravity pulling on you. Down comes before up. Stay here - don’t move until you can be sure that impetus to move is coming from your body and not from your mind. Relinquish as far as possible to what your body is asking. Does it want to stay a little longer? Does it want to move achingly slowly from a strange place? Can you follow the current of the tide of your core - the central cerebral spine. Allow a movement practice to grow from within you - refreshing, new and unusual

JOURNAL

What needs to be reimagined in the earth realms - is there a new way that something needs to be conceived? (Look out for signs and keep open to conversations that offer clues as to how you might push through any blocks to fully bringing something through)

FOLK HERBALISM WITH PLANT KIN

Winter stagnancy coupled with the upward stirrings can feel like the hardest transition in the wheel of the year for our weary bodies. With fresh spring Nettle arising and tiny cleavers coming up we know exactly where we need to look to begin our spring cleansing. Nettle has an affinity to Fire and will really help to awaken our systems and cleanse our blood as well as packing a nutritional punch to any depletion. Cleavers balance Nettle well in their water element affinity. Cleavers tiny hooks will claw away the old debris in our system and support motility in our digestive systems. They will shift stagnancy quickly but they are very diuretic so use with caution and make sure you drink plenty of water to counteract the effect

In folk herbalism Snowdrop is used to treat pain, headaches and migraines. They also contain an alkaloid which is used in the management of Alzheimers. They are reminders - beacons of hope. Tender thought they may seem - they are strong, hardy and resilient. They tend to cluster in small groups, like little families. Soon we receive a carpet of them to remind us to stay the distance. Like little lanterns they transform from the dark earth and denote the fertile journey we do not see beneath
