MONTHLY GEMS

Collective theme...
“REST WELL, AND RISE”

 

The collective energy showing up to support us this month is...

​

   “The one”. 
Nonduality, one love, Onus Mundus.

Our ability to experience this archetype firsthand is limited. It comes in brief and potent moments that we are left to savor for a lifetime. The one is both the energy that unites all living beings, and our capacity to sense this intimate union. This archetype eludes us most of our lives, appearing as a concept in a distant galaxy. Yet when we are in the midst of its power, a solemn reverence falls across all the land. We glimpse ourselves in the vastness of all consciousness and are neither small nor large within that field. We are neither important nor unimportant. All duality fades away and we are left with what is- the precious knowing, that life is a gift, and we are both the giver and the receiver of this fortune. 

when light: serves, loves, accepts & resonates. 
When dark: ignores, omits & excludes.
Onus mundus is a circle representing the unity of existence. Is it possible that the beginning and the end of all things is love?
 

 

Attention inward

Our spirit messages for December.
These cards serve as lenses; to offer you reflections and impressions that resonate with your inner truth, and the wisdom of your heart. I invite you to be gentle and curious with yourself here, and to show up with compassion for your experience.

​

​

The messages are showing up this month to weave in and out of the collective theme, how we individually respond to it and the work going on within ourselves as we tune in to its rhythm. 

 

Surrender: If you find yourself fighting with your thoughts, surrender. Let your thoughts and emotions permeate your body. watch these thoughts and feelings with your mind’s eye. Feel them without contending them. This card invites you to Feel and experience your thoughts wholly, and to view them as thoughts and not as you. Look at your thoughts and hear your thoughts being spoken clearly in your mind and know they are just that, thoughts.

 

4 of Earth: The Four of earth (pentacles) asks you to examine your relationship with money, abundance and resources. Are you operating from an abundance mindset? Or are your decisions rooted in fear and scarcity?  

 

The Four of earth can appear when you are in self-protection mode. You have a strong desire for security, stability and certainty and you are doing everything within your power to create a stable environment for yourself. Even when your outer world seems chaotic and in a constant state of change, you can create more certainty for yourself by controlling your inner environment. You might find tidying the house, creating a budget/financial plan or organizing your things (and/or resources) to be calming and relaxing under these circumstances.

​

Four of earth can also appear when you are re-evaluating what’s important to you, especially when it comes to abundance. Look at the overall equation of cost versus benefit and assess whether your quest for ‘more’ is really bringing you the happiness that you most desire.

 

The broader lesson with the Four of earth is to honor and respect money and wealth but don’t become so attached that you lose sight of what’s most important to you: friends, family, happiness and love. 

​

Fear: This card encourages you to stare at what scares you. To grab a spotlight and shine it directly on what you fear, analyzing its shape and texture what you find in the darkness will likely be uncomfortable. This card asks you not to let your fears guide your decisions, knowing which thoughts are fear based is the first step in not letting your fear govern you. Fear is often mistaken for intuition and can keep us from life. Intuition and fear are closely related, but not the same. Without understanding our fears, we will not be able to know our truest intuitive self fully.

Sacred Herb.

California poppy.
Resurrection: Sometimes the day needs to disappear, so you can sink into the lush blackness of night. Sometimes your eyes, whether they’re open or shut, need the inky darkness of forgetting. Golden poppy lives in both sun and shadow. She opens her petals in daylight, and closes them when the night comes, giving in easily, knowing resurrection will come with the Dawn. “It’s OK to sleep without dreaming” Poppy soothes, to fall deep and far. Have no fear. Day will come and you’ll once again stretch and unfurl.

Healing Crystal.

 Black tourmaline.

Healthy boundaries, repelling and dispelling, unwanted energies, shielding and protection., Healthy interdependence. 

There is a saying that good fences make good neighbors. Well-being likewise requires healthy boundaries that respect everyone’s uniqueness, similarities, and differences. The appearance of black Tourmaline spirit is a sign that now is the time to make sure those fences are neither impenetrable walls nor so porous and broken down that you start to lose track of where you end, and others begin. 

It’s invigorating to move between alone time and together time. Maybe you need to be with some extroverts for a while, or maybe you need a long evening alone with a good book. If you’ve been feeling tired lately, pay attention to whether you’re neglecting yourself at some level, giving too much, suffering from empathy overload, or depending too much on someone else and crowding them. You may need some downtime to remind you that you are a human being not a human doing. You do not have to earn love through perpetual self-sacrifice, nor do you have to feel overwhelmed and needy. Healthy boundaries mean leaning on others in a balanced way, and black tourmaline spirit is here to nudge you to be mindful of when you need time to yourself and when you need to be among those who accept you exactly as you are.

​

Crystal spirit, meditation.
Black Tourmaline is an incredibly valuable stone for sensitives, empaths, and anyone susceptible to absorbing the energy of others. When carried or worn on the body, it works industriously to capture incoming energy that is less than desirable and transmute it into usable energy. When used in meditation, it helps work through old “stuff” from a neutral perspective, allowing us to keep the “wheat” and discard the “chaff”. 
​

Sacred animal.

The Owl.

The owl is considered to be a symbol of wisdom. Intuition and secret knowledge. It is believed that these inhabitants of the night are capable of dispelling illusions. Everyone can hear in their voice something that only resonates with them. Meditation to the low voices of owls helps to open up intuition, strengthen the inner voice and help one find their truth. if you see owls, or owl symbols and are drawn to them this month it may be an invitation to tune in to your heart wisdom. TIP: you can search YouTube for "owl meditation sounds" for meditation this month for self healing and exploration!
