The wheel turns and new life begins…
What a transformational year it has been…. I don’t know anyone who can’t agree with that statement this year! Are you feeling it?! I hope your evolution has been powerful but gentle. 💜
Here we are on the far side of winter in the Southern Hemisphere. We have passed through the darkest time of year and as the daylight hours are getting longer, we are experiencing hints of Spring (the wattle and daffodils are emerging out my way), continuing our forward momentum onto our next phase of existence.
A time of rebirth
This week, August 7th, is the Celtic sabbat known as Imbolc – the halfway point between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox. The word “imbolc” translates to “in the belly”, referring to the time when lambs are nearing birth, which was a life-giving sign at the end of winter for our ancestors who lived off the land.
Imbolc is a time of rebirth, reawakening and purifying. All around us we are witnessing signs of life returning to the earth after months of dormancy. This period of renewal exists not just in nature, but for us too. As the seeds start to stir in the earth and the tree blossoms begin to appear, consider what needs nurturing in you to help you blossom into your fullest potential. Now is the time to reconnect with your desires and your dreams, in preparation for your next stage of personal transformation. Taking the opportunity to reflect on your own journey through the darkness these past few months will highlight what needs to be shed and what is ready to emerge next.
What seeds are you planting?
So what has been changing in your world? And what is emerging for you now? This phase is a potent time for considering what you want to birth into existence and beginning to take action towards making it a reality. What do you want to bring into being over the coming months or years? What do you need to let go of in order to assist this process?
Value your values
While often I focus on beliefs as the power place for transforming both your inner and outer world, recently I have been witnessing the necessity of defining and aligning with your personal values to minimise stress and conflict.
Your values reflect what matter most to you and what you stand for. Getting clear on your key values ensures you make decisions in alignment with your true self, your soul, not based on what you think you “should” be doing. While in reality there is never any “correct” choice, when you base your decisions on your values you can be confident you made the choice that aligns with how you want to your life to be and to feel. It also helps fuel your dreams so that people and opportunities who are aligned with your values will be magnetised onto your path. Plus you have a clear guide for saying no to all the distractions that could take you off track.
Define and Align
So what are your top 5 values??
If you’re not sure where to start, there are plenty of “values lists” online to explore and see what pops out for you. (Check out Brene Brown’s here)
Try not to overthink it, just consider what important qualities you want to live by. Or think about what you don’t want to experience and find a value that represents the opposite. You can reflect on past experiences that have either been rewarding or challenging to help you.
Understanding your core values and using them to guide your decisions can really help you find greater ease and flow in all areas of your life. Whether it’s in work, or relationships, you can use them to aid in your choices. This will help life stay on track, enhancing your sense of empowerment and fulfilment in your day to day living.
As nature blossoms and blooms over the coming months, may you too blossom and bloom by taking action in alignment with these values. You deserve to live a life filled with love and joy and inspiration. 💜
I would love to hear what your top 5 are if you feel to share.
And remember Kinesiology and Human Design can be wonderful tools to help you align more with all that you were born to be. ⭐
Sending much love, Michelle (& Loki). xx
