You've got rights, even in this dumpster fire

Before I dive in to your Dumpster Fire Bill of Rights ::: This is your last call to join me this Saturday 8/8 for my free listening circle: What does it mean to thrive in these divided and uncertain times? I've had some big new awarenesses of my own and we want to hear about yours. Come to listen. Sharing is optional. 8/8, 11am MDT. All the details are here.

Beloveds,

You have the right to feel free.

Last week I wrote about the dumpster fire we’re in right now. It was half tongue-in-cheek, half not. Things feel hard right now for a lot of folks I talk to.

The planetary energies have been intense, as you’ve no doubt been noticing. Not sure what you’re feeling (I’d love to know!), but I just mapped my insomnia experience of the last three nights onto the whiteouts in the Schumann resonance. It was a perfect match.

The astro energies are wild. The social climate is challenging. Underneath it all, I feel this deep and low but very steady drumbeat; it’s time. Prepare. The things we’ve been ignoring will no longer be ignored.

If your body has taken some hits lately, maybe that’s why. Mine sure has.

At the risk of TMI, I’m dancing with yet another simmering systemic infection. According to Messages From the Body by Michael J. Lincoln, these types of infections stem from childhood patterns of overgiving and an implied duty to fix the impossible in a home situation that was unfixable - by a child, anyway.

That the body holds onto this is a lot to sit with. Especially when you’ve done many decades of body-mind-spirit healing and truth seeking as I have.

The body is tender and delicate and remembers everything - even experiences from other dimensions of so-called reality, as suggested by the Many Worlds theory.

And here you are, standing at the brink of (possibly) unfathomable change. Energy moves way faster than the body. Right now, your body is being asked to evolve, to adapt to shifting electromagnetic poles, solar inputs, galactic center inputs and whatever else we don’t even know about.

It’s a lot to ask of our flesh and bones. In honor of that, I wrote a Dumpster Fire Bill of Rights which I read to you in the video below. I’m sure there are a bunch more that should be on the list. Be sure to share your additions in the comments, please!

Without further ado... I invite you to read them aloud to and for yourself.

I read them aloud to you in today’s episode:

• Energy weather report: It’s hard right now on our bodies

• River medicine can help you let go, but also bring what you seek to you

• How we’re able to receive right now

• Your Dumpster Fire Bill of Rights, straight to your ears while the river and Tunes carry on in the background

• A closing reminder to be exquisitely tender

If you’ve forgotten your rights, your full capacity to hold ALL of LIFE without crumbling, let’s talk. My spiritual counsel has been described as the mirror that lets you see yourself as whole - even when you cannot see it for yourself. Which is exactly why we are not meant to do any of this alone.

>>> If these messages resonate, please share with one person in your soul fam. This is my ministry of love and it really helps if you like, subscribe and share. I appreciate you so much.

Big Love Always,

P.S. let the river lead

River medicine is profoundly healing, the reminder of the primordial womb, that liminal space from which we all entered this realm. The river of life is always flowing, it’s us who so often block the flow.

My flow was particularly blocked on Friday so I gathered up the Tunes and we headed to a nearby mountain to sit by the Pecos River. In these turbulent times, if you feel called to water, go find yourself a river or stream and let the running water brainwash you in the best of ways, clearing out the emotional cobwebs and mental debris. (And if you aren’t anywhere near running water, use your imagination for what follows.)

When you sit by moving water, the invitation is to imagine the water carrying away what does not fit or serve you; toxic emotions, harmful thought patterns, crappy behaviors and maladaptive coping mechanisms. Let it go. And no, you aren’t poisoning the fish downstream, the Great Mother has this under control.

The next step, once you’ve imagined/visualized your burden being carried away is to then shift your focus towards what you’d like to create. (Yes, you have the right to create right now and always!) Then imagine the river carrying to you exactly what you wish to create. That field of flowers, that healing in your body or spirit, the relationship with the Divine, whatever your jam is. Let it flow right to you... And then let yourself feel - remember, even - the totality of receivership, of havingness, of you as blessed creator.
