Elders

“In our youth-focused society, it can be difficult to claim the role of elder, to be proud of that state and recognize the important contributions elders make. However, it wasn’t always like that (and many societies still value the role of elders). In ancient societies around the world, women were wisdom keepers, helping younger women bring new life into the world and helping older women as they exited this mortal realm. The Crone enjoyed a special, revered status and was praised for her wisdom, healing skills, and moral leadership. She has a profound understanding of life and the world around her – she is a font of wisdom for her community and a source of inspiration.”

Water

Water is sacred and an element that is fundamental to our existence. The Earth and our bodies are around 70% water. It also holds memory so speak your prayers and intentions into it. You can do this to a glass of water, in the bath, shower, in the ocean etc. Tap into the power of this primordial element.

Ancestors

The first thing to remember is that your ancestors are you, they exist within your DNA… Be aware of your thoughts, pay attention to your intuition, emotions, dreams, observe the animals/insects that appear in your life. Look at the signs, symbolisms and synchronicities that occur day to day. This is where the messages and guidance from your ancestors are found.

Our article titled ‘Communicating with your ancestors’ expands on this process. Have a read 💜

The Spider & the People

The Spider and the People
An Osage Legend

One day, the chief of the Isolated Earth people was hunting in the forest. He was also hunting for a symbol to give life to his people. He came upon the tracks of a huge deer. The chief became very excited.

“Grandfather Deer,” he said, “surely you will show yourself to me.”You are going to become the symbol of my people.”

He began to follow the tracks. His eyes were on nothing else as he followed those tracks, and he ran faster and faster through the forest. Suddenly, he ran right into a huge spider’s web that had been strung between the trees, across the trail. When he got up, he was very angry. He struck at the spider who was sitting at the edge of the web. But the spider jumped out of reach. Then the spider spoke to the man.

“Grandson,” the spider said, “why do you run through the woods looking at nothing but the ground?”

The chief felt foolish, but he had to answer the spider. “I was following the tracks of a great deer,” the chief said. “I am seeking a symbol of strength for my people.”

“I can be such a symbol,” said the spider.

“How can you be a symbol of strength?” said the chief. “You are small and weak, and I didn’t even see you as I followed the great Deer.”
“Grandson,” said the spider, “look upon me. I am patient. I watch and I wait. Then all things come to me. If your people learn this, they will be strong indeed.”

The chief saw that this was so. Thus the Spider became one of the symbols of the people.

“Embrace the Spirit of Change”
by Kate Spreckley

January is a month that marks the threshold of an entirely new and more intensely personal phase of our global transformation, as the incoming energies continue to upgrade the current energetic structures and expose what needs to change. A greater need for freedom is initiating the birth of new and radical ways of being that will ultimately have an exceptionally positive impact on all areas of our lives. This may be challenging and difficult in the moment as fears and negativity are exposed. However, for too long fear has been the driving force behind our choices and our actions, and we are encouraged now to embrace the spirit of change and to allow our soul to take the lead.

Be mindful that you are completing a cycle and there is no benefit to be found in hanging onto the old. Honor what has been and recognize what truly matters. Work with the energies and allow what is unnecessary and redundant to be cleared away. Acknowledge that although the form of your future is still taking shape, you are being inspired to move forward and into the full expression of your soul. Remember that a deeper connection with your soul is what will bring a more expansive and energizing energy into your life.

Trauma Dissociation

There are many ways we traumatically dissociate. Most are involuntary (feeling removed from your own body or the world, memory gaps, shifting into different identity states especially if you are triggered by memories or flashbacks) and some are “semi” voluntary in the sense that we partake in activities excessively as a distraction to numb ourselves out. ❤️ What brings some relief to dissociation is (with the help of a trauma informed therapist) mindful awareness + reorienting yourself to what is happening both within you and around you, as well as achieving some integration when it comes to fragmented memories and identity states. Remember, dissociation can be a trauma response and survival instinct – it may have served to protect your brain in the past while the trauma was happening. You can appreciate its purpose while still working toward healing. #trauma #cptsd #ptsd #complextrauma #narcissisticabuse #shahidaarabi #dissociation

Heart of the Matter

They couldn’t go to the pool, so the people met and swam in the ocean and lakes, and built saunas together.

They couldn’t go to restaurants so the people had dinner parties and potlucks.

They couldn’t go to clubs so the people had epic dance parties.

They couldn’t go to the gym so the people ran up mountains, lifted rocks, chopped firewood, trained in each others’ garages.

They couldn’t go to grocery stores so they gathered Wild Herbs and farmed.

They couldn’t go to sports events so they created their own.

They were told they couldn’t travel but found ways.

They lost their jobs so they created and found new ones that were more aligned with their values.

They lost friends and family but found newer, greater true connections-and built community.

Everything that’s happening is totally insane, and inhumane.

But they never felt oppressed.

In fact, freer than ever.

What we build now is the future.

I wouldn’t miss this era for anything.

Don’t let NPD poison your peace

At the inevitable collapse of a narcissistic relationship and even before it is in the devalue stage, the narcissist will blame you for all of the problems and their unhealed wounds that they will never take responsibility for.

When you are discarded at the end of the relationship, you’ll be demonized and smeared to all and sundry. This is how a False Self operates.

At the beginning of the relationship, you are childishly pumped up. You’re the greatest thing since poached eggs, paraded all over social media and gushed out to family and friends, and probably introduced way too quickly to all of the narcissist’s circles, probably as well as the kids. You’re likely being thrust in the face of the previously discarded supply that the narcissist is finished with too.

Then as time goes on, of course, you start being devalued and then eventually discarded. You’re going to be put on the rubbish heap with all the other sucked out Souls that the narcissist False Self has thrown into the gutter.

As far as the False Self is concerned, if you’re not great, you’re terrible. There is no in-between. There is no Real Self operating within the narcissist. Therefore there’s no self-awareness, no self-responsibility, and consequently, it’s all your fault.
