Break Through to the Other Side
The earth is wet, rich in minerals, plants are pliable and receptive to these rich minerals from the mother fueled by rain from the heavens. The earth is pregnant and the Goddess Eastra is strong right now. She represents the light of a new day, birth and growth.
The cardinal direction "East" is recognized in her name "Eastra." This is the direction of new beginnings, strong roots and connection to humanity. Can you think of everything that is happening right now as a movemnt towards something new? Can you be more pliable and receptive even though the world right now points to the opposite?
There is a break through to the other side that is happening. Be patient as the shadow is necessary for growth and change to occur. Without the shadow there is no light. The shadow is a fundamental part of our humanity. To deny it diminishes the capacity for humanity to embrace the power of the light.
The shadow gives us a glimpse into the human ego -- the "I-ness" or the "I-maker" allowing humanity to transcend these aspects with awareness and compassion. That's what we need right now; awareness and compassion.
Everything has energy; everything is a vibration, and everything needs space to move, shift and release. This includes what is happening right now with this pandemic. It needs space to move, shift and release.
Stay present to what is growing, birthing inside of you without shutting down, reacting or resisting. Take this time to connect to others by first connecting to yourself. Examine who you are through self-study. In yoga philosophy this is known as "Svadhyaya." What can you learn and what can you let go of?
Stay Healthy & Safe,
Mary Jane Kasliner
