Hello – this is my first blog! June has been a very intense month for myself and my clients. This month features 3 eclipses (June 1, June 15 and July1) and the Summer Solstice (June 21) so the universal cosmic energies that affect all of us have been powerful thus far! Many of us have been feeling energetically depleted, heavy, angry, then grieving and sometimes hopeless. On a physical level I have seen more depression, low serotonin levels, insomnia for a few days here and there, increase in allergies (or some simply developing allergies they never had before), lots of pain and tension in the shoulders, neck, head and solar plexus, bouts of constipation (hold then purge), exacerbation of menopausal symptoms, adrenal fatigue, sweating at night (non menopausal) and a virus that spread for about a week (symptoms were chills, throwing up and headache).
Emotionally many are doubting themselves more than usual, dealing with mother issues, family dynamics (some have parents or children ill or dying), power struggles, more emotional eating than usual (many clients said their healthy eating patterns were totally sidetracked!) and many reported that things kept happening that distracted them from their planned goals for the month. Lots of people are questioning their life purpose and job satisfaction more than ever. Many are contemplating leaving their jobs, changing careers or wanting to start a new business of their own. But fear and doubt are in the way along with concern of how this will impact one’s standard of living. Basically two steps forward and one step back constantly all month! Whew! We are all shifting out of unhealthy emotional patterns, learning to love unconditionally while holding better or firmer boundaries but the toll on our bodies has been extremely hard this month. July will be better, I promise!! Most of us are working on our third (The Warrior-power) and fourth (The Lover-love) chakras so keep this in mind. More and more we are leaning or moving toward meaningful and loving service in certain aspects of our lives.
My advice is to surrender and find time for integration, this means stillness and rest, along with reflection. Be kind to yourself and allow your feelings to surface. Keep your bowels moving (release and let go of the old!). My “Soul Chakra”, “Urban Warrior” and “Healthy Boundaries” teas would be helpful during this intense time of transition. As we learn new ways of living we must take time to integrate and embody it. Otherwise our physical health suffers more then it needs to and we feel we are not making progress in our healing process. Keep your ego in check and listen to your heart. Healing is not always smooth or quick, in fact our biggest healing shifts require the long storm before the calm. So if you are going through a tough time right now know that “this too shall pass” and you will come out of it wiser and stronger.
I am off on holidays from July 1st to August 4th – I am in the final editing stage for my book, so will be writing and reflecting during this time! If you are one of my clients, I look forward to seeing you when I get back from holidays! Love and light to you!!
