I’m inspired to connect today with a message of practical optimism during this time of enormous contrast and change. We must all deal with these energies of change. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the intensity, and thrown off balance by frequencies of confusion, uncertainty, turmoil and fear.
In order to connect with the positive opportunities that are available to us all it’s necessary to stay centered, connected and balanced within. I’m hoping that today’s message will provide some tangible touchstones for your own path of balance and inspired new creation.
Sun in Cancer: Finding Stability Within
The Sun activates the zodiac and brings these energies alive. The tarot images shown here are the major arcana cards for Cancer, where the Sun currently resides. These cards beautifully express the qualities of inner stability, knowingness and connection to spirit that the Sun is making available to you now.
The Chariot (left) shows a warrior clothed in golden armor. The warrior represents you, receiving the protection and support of your Spirit’s light (gold) to help you stay balanced and stable during all types of movement and change.
In this image the principle of stability during change is shown by the warrior sitting in the lotus position (focused within). He is holding the spinning wheel of fortune, which represents the infinite potentials of creation that are available in each moment.
The four pillars of the warrior’s chariot, pulled by four guardians, signify the balance and support of the four elements of nature that give us life. The word ‘chariot’ is another name for your merkaba, which is the structure of light that houses and animates your body.
Altogether this card speaks of the importance of living from the power and light that resides within your heart. The warrior shows that when you are connected within to the light of your spirit you are able to remain fully present, flexible and secure. No matter what happens you can hold the intensity of all creative potentials, while remaining stable, safe and strong.
Awareness (right) is the card for Cancer in the Osho tarot. This image beautifully expresses the principle of the eternal presence of spirit that resides within. This inner spirit is the real ‘you.’ The image shows how the light of your Spirit is always present, and available as soon as you place your attention there in your heart.
This presence of your spirit is your true source of stability, especially during times of imbalance, change or confusion. The more you are able to live from inner awareness and the knowing of your Spirit, the more you can be fully present to your circumstances, while remaining balanced and centered within.
This is the true meaning of alchemy, and how we turn into gold.
Moving from Chaos to Order
The process of moving from chaos to order is a natural part of life. Each of us is always in some form of growth, some process of change. The secret of moving from chaos to order – returning to balance no matter what the circumstance – is to build the habit of going within.
Like the eye of the hurricane, and the still point at the center of an old-fashioned merry-go-round, the more you get to center, the more quiet and still you become. In contrast, like the tumultuous clouds, the more we look outside of ourselves for stability the more we become caught in the swirling energies of the storm.
It only takes one breath to return within. Take a breath now. As you breathe move your awareness in your heart. Imagine your heart is breathing, and feel your awareness come back into your body. The more you are able to live from this awareness in your heart the more you move from the storm of turmoil into the quiet peace energy of Source.
This shift from mind to heart is what creates the golden armor of the warrior, strengthening your auric field so you can stay resilient and strong. The more you practice this shift the stronger and more stable you will become.
Making the Shift
The practical steps listed here describe an integrated process that will increase your frequency and strengthen your ability to remain stable and in ease regardless of circumstances.
- Move Within. Take your attention away from uncomfortable thoughts or emotions and move your awareness to your heart.
- Breathe. Inhale. Exhale. Breathing with intention is the quickest way to calm your nervous system and bring your awareness back within.
- Call On Your Spirit. Use the power of your voice to strengthen your connection to your Spirit and increase your light. Say aloud with authority, “I command my Spirit to increase my life force energy. Now.” (You can say this over and over, and repeat many times throughout your day.)
- Feel Your Feet! As you breathe imagine your light filling you, front to back, and descending all the way down through your belly to the soles of your feel. As you feel the tangible sensation of your feet touching the ground, invite your spirit to come fully inside of you.
- Repeat. As you move through your day develop the habit of bringing your awareness within, breathing from your heart, talking to your spirit and expanding your light body, front and back, from head to toe.
The more you practice returning within the easier it will become to shift from discomfort back into balance. The more you build these muscles the more ease you will experience and the more you’ll be able to witness intensity without getting swept up in the turmoil.
The winds of change are blowing. This is a time to focus on the light within. The more we are able to build our light, the more we will experience the never-ending power and support of Source.
May we live with courage, confidence and trust in the Light that unites us all.
Take heart. Our future is bright.
Love wins.
