Winter wisely

We are all Cyclical and Seasonal. Our current construct of time is a colonial one, it does not flow with earth's natural cycles, it is not attuned to the seasons, the feminine current of the moon and earth, or the masculine vibration of the sun and sky or follow our innate nature.

For now whatever we have numbered the year  we are deep in dreamtime, can we listen to the wisdom of the seasons and truly honour our innate cyclical nature? Look outside to observe and learn.

Before a seed can sprout, the soil lays fallow and death nourishes life in the dark void of the womb.

The "new year" celebrated now with the Gregorian calendar is an abstract construct, utterly severed from earth wisdom. I personally don’t  celebrate with the 'new year' being the middle of deep winter, instead i look to the earth for guidance and root deep to feel when the seeds begin to sprout with the spring equinox in march~ this is when it feels most aligned for me to honour a new cycle.

What if we followed nature's rhythms and respected our elders? After all Mother Nature has years of experience!

Rather than pushing ourselves to begin anew in the coldest, darkest & most introspective part of the year, we paused instead?

What if we took time to just be where we are, take stock of our lives, reflect and rest in winters embrace.

We are animals, and we are the only animal known to fight our natural rhythms and keep 'doing' during the

winter.

For anyone who doesn't feel connected to

'new year, new me', I see you. You don't need to be making 'new year's resolutions' in the depth of winter, this is time for rest and stillness.

Don't feel rushed or pressured to participate in a holiday rooted in colonialism if it does not give you nourishment at this time.

Work energetically with the subtle new beginnings the new moon brings to each cycle. I grant you a permission slip to detach from colonial timelines and rest with the whole of nature.

You are enough exactly as you are.

Own your own cycles and seasons. Tend to the silence of your inner world, the darkness, go within , tune into your energy, your heart space, your breath . Softly, gently dreaming & tending. Nourishing the life force within.

Liberate yourself from false patriarchal ideals and root deep into earth's wisdom. Fill your cup with Lensomy, sing your song , dance your dance and winter wisely with peace and grace.

Always Lensomy (unconditional love)
