"No matter how frightening our projections appear, they are always part of us. This speaks to the need for a deeper understanding of our collective shadow, so that in the face of the stranger, the 'other,' the alien,
we see ourselves and know that we are one."

Dear Earthling,

The driving mission of Dreamfruit is to scout a trail that can lead us back to ourselves as Earthlings, back into our birthright state of radical belonging.

We're now a few days into the Gravity Moon, and the invitation is to find grounded clarity in the sensation of Mother Earth holding you close. Our earthling bodies are in a constant dance with gravity, finding points of balance and support to move through the world with ease.

With this lunation, we can learn something fundamental about the collective shadow and our personal response to it. When things feel heavy or overwhelming, there is a chance to quiet the mind and respond with a light touch. This is a balancing process of "being with" and receiving more of life (even the difficult parts) into our field of care.

Listen again to the story you tell about difficulty. Is it useful?

The collective shadow operates through our blind spots. The more space we can create to bear witness -- instead of attempt to control or resist challenges -- the more we move toward wholeness and coherence. Responding to heaviness with spacious relatedness is a contradiction to the sense of urgency and denial that permeates our world.

It takes a great deal of energy to pretend we're in control when we're not, to "act like nothing's wrong". When we keep feelings of grief, anger, despair in the shadow, we inadvertently put shadow in the driver's seat. We have the option of softening and opening our grip to let life flow through, to restore even greed back into belonging.

I discuss this in more detail -- and offer a simple meditation to "turn the corner inside us" -- in this month's mini-workshop. As the month unfolds, I'm wishing you a clear and healing pathway to integrity and coherence.
