WATER
In the direction of the West we surrender to the elemental power of water in the waning cycle of the moon. After stoking the Fire we surrender to the alchemy that is born by combining these elemental forces. We invite the intention to purify, clear and soften ~ releasing what has been shown to us in the apex of the moon cycle.
Ho do you relate to this element within this season?
Here in the water, I let it all drift away
I allow all sensations to meet me where I am exactly
In this space I merge into oneness
There is no edge to me
I drop into the sensation and acknowledgement of my vastness and my nothingness all at once
I dissolve into this oneness
Plant medicine abounds in the Beltane tides
The earth is teeming with competing life force
I feel like this is the way I feel about my own focus ~ everything is competing for it ~ there is an overwhelming and steady building that I can not control
It is not unusual to feel a sense of overwhelm when your personal life is full but there is also a collective overwhelm that can be felt as this earth power rises
You may sense this urgency to create with the mother. That she offers so many gifts and opportunities that you will fall short if you miss them. Here you must cultivate trust that a delicate balance between your own agency and that of the universe will in fact support your highest calling
Here is when I feel I have to dig ever deeper to stay clear and focussed on what is my own task when there is so much calling for my attention
Go gently and be soft as you listen to what waits beneath the noise that unlocks a code that is for you alone
Depending on how you receive the moon and your blood mysteries there may be a fair amount of resistance to the wane of energy
In the ancient planting calendars you would plant when the sap was rising as the energy peaked through new and full moons, honouring the dropping away energy of the autumn of the moon
So if you are feeling pressure to build or create ~ perhaps consider under what moon you wish to harness this potent creation energy
Womb Waters
Take some time to drop into your womb waters. Place your hands over your womb or energetic womb and connect to her energy. Try not to impose any fast moving thought forms onto her but rather go beyond thinking and into a state of receptivity about what wisdom she has for you. Take a few minutes to drop into the deep silent well of this being.
If you don’t receive a specific message don’t be disheartened. Like any relationship, this one with the power house of your creative energy will take time to build. Be patient, the gold lies beneath. Albeit there may be quite a few layers to unravel to find it. If you do need support - reach out and find a womb healing practitioner to support the connection.
Next time you are in the bath - consider adding a wand of Rosemary - lie back and as if anointing your womb with sacred waters, pour warm water over her. Visualise this healing, gentle energy pouring through your womb and clearing the energetic field
