Pure joy lets you spread your wings and breath in air with a taste and feeling of this being the greatest nectar, which actually it is. Under pressure of any kind however, we lose that sense of the expansion of possibilities and become very narrow minded.
This cycle is about the air we breathe, the life we share and the possibility of it being a cheerful event of light beings celebrating existence. HOW? (and I hear many voices echoing inside, adding …”under these circumstance”).
Yes, there’s lots pressure and limitation to meet and feel these days and yet, every so often there’s that little timeless gap moment; it’s between the up and down of our rib cage moving with the breath, it’s in the changing of the tides, of day and night … this distinct opening into NOW-HERE, where time stands still while you are present. Especially in hard or turbulent times, we tend to overlook the opportunity of simply feeling ourselves as joy-bliss-presence for no reason in the world. It’s as if pressure from the outside isn’t enough, we add to it by narrowing inside and reducing our focus to problems until we can’t see anything else any more. The worse it gets, the more agreers we seem to find for our complaints. It’s just that in this state we cannot feel any sense of connectedness any more, even when we share. So, all the lamenting is not even giving us a nice social experience.
Ready for something else, something easy ? Try it: Simply breathe. You’re doing it anyway, do it a few times with awareness. Right now. In…and out… and in…and out … Just for this moment, it will make you forget the historical and the hysterical facts and circumstance and – fill you up with joy. It’s intrinsic. It’s part of being alive. You’re alive and sharing that joy with many others who like you have that same capacity to fill up with joy for no reason. This is the letting go of trying to save the world or trying to agree with other’s minds and re-connecting with your own true source of joy, which is everyone else’s source,too! Somewhere there around your heart is that little sparkle of light which just bursts into cascades of joy spreading into your every cell the moment you give it some space, you let it be.
And guess what? The problem solving, the helping others, the legitimate protest, the solution finding – it all works smoothly and much easier from a joy-full you.
HERE’S WHAT TO WATCH THIS CYCLE
10 Feb
Today you may feel like you’ve got it all sussed. You got the whole world in your hands. Looking at your life, things run the way you want them to and you’re satisfied with the material and on the outside. That’s great and important and satisfying. And… somewhat brittle … you may be aware of that crackling feeling of a deeper longing for … what? … something seems to be missing… while you cannot tell by looking from the outside what that might even be.
Now, slow down, listen a little deeper and become first quiet and then really still. Especially when you’ve made it all with the money and the fame, your reputation is good and you’ve got a bunch of great social contacts or even friends. All that can be taken away, just in a snap of a finger. And then – what?! Then you’ll need meditation, then you need to know the way to an inner refuge, to the sanctuary inside. The place that doesn’t come and go, the place that contains all the world you hold and run, while being perfectly empty in itself. Welcome to being a no-one. (You can still play in the world).
12 Feb
On this day support flows from the universe to pay attention to tendencies to overload yourself. An outcry of “too much pressure” in your outer or inner ears invites you to look up and around, rather than just into the work load. It’s time to review what you volunteer for, even when it’s in the name of the greater good. Choose wisely what you load onto your plate and check by listening to your body whether or not you have the capacity to do it. The resistance to delegate that can be attached to this pattern grows in proportion with the need to delegate! Try it – ask for a helping hand and accept it. It’ll make your day in many ways! You deserve it! Feeling this and sharing is so much joy.
13 Feb
Today is a fine chance to recalibrate our orientation to our true origin. Over time, as life is challenging and sometimes hard, we tend to project our origin into dream illusions of ourselves. That leads to building our relationships only with people who agree with us. Anything that questions our illusion we try to ignore, whether it is honest and well meant feedback from others, meditation or looking inside.
We may not be able to avoid noticing a stale feeling and an exhaustion rather than emotional fulfilment. This comes after meeting all the other “Yes, I know exactly what you mean”-sayers. How do you recalibrate that? Easy. Take a deep breath, or two or three, slow down and take an honest look within, connecting with your heart. Listening to and feeling the multitude of life energy bubbling inside that loves to play, to expand in all directions, unknown, and form you according to the flow and the meeting in the moment. That changes every relating completely. Suddenly there are all these real people here, including you!
17 Feb
Want to make your dreams come true? Nothing wrong with that … trying to do it by getting in there and achieving it all at once? – that won’t work. On this day the shock point energy either confuses the means with the goal and distracts you into wanting too much at once. Or it enables you to clearly see what is important and what is not. Breathing deeply, slowing down, being aware and available is much more likely what gets you “there”, rather than running and grasping – whatever your goals are. Why not try the full stop in awareness and check out HERE right NOW.
Innocence, childlike joy is really what you’re looking for and that hasn’t gone away. It’s right here within, it reveals itself in a clear space in the middle of the moment … It’s always yours, has always been. No need to over-excite, running around and keeping on searching. Fill up with the childlike innocence of a beginner in every moment – that’s joy-full. This certainly also supports decision making, wisdom of discernment and other features needed in our turbulent times.
Real joy is not instead of what goes on, it mustn’t be seen as a substitute but as a fuel in you to stay connected in love and light.
During the last two days of the cycle (16/17 Feb) is an energy of blessing days, blessing our development equally whether its progress or failure, insight or shadow consciousness, the blessings enhance paying attention and seeing it all.
