For the week of June 15 – 21, 2020
We’re in a major crescendo – the midpoint of this summer’s wormhole eclipse passage – moving into the roots of the heart, allowing the depth of our emotions to rise up and release. This passage isn’t for the faint of heart, however it does have the potential to move mountains and pivot the story on our planet in revolutionary ways. We must remember to keep our seat of equanimity in order to see, feel, and hear clearly, from the highest lens of Love…choosing to be empowered by each moment and movement.
Equanimity is neutrality through the lens of Love, meaning we open unconditionally, as Love, no matter what is occurring. Our heart remains open – whether the experience is pleasant or unpleasant, pretty or messy, comfortable or irritating. The lens of equanimity allows us to see it all, allowing the wholeness of our experience to rise up, express, and release…leaving us transformed. If we resist any aspect of our experience, if we flinch at what we don’t like, or judge what we don’t understand, we limit our scope of vision, and that limitation activates ongoing emotional residue and karmic patterns that can motivate our thoughts, words, and actions.
The practice of equanimity will challenge every karmic pattern to the bone. The courage to remain present, to hold deep sacred space within, requires fierce commitment and determination, from the heart. It’s not a game of mental strength, it’s a matter of the heart. How much can the heart witness, how much can the heart open to and hold space for? Can we live from an open heart in moments of overwhelming joy, love, and excitement, equal to the moments of anguish, grief, and heartache? Or are we conditional at the heart level, do we shut down when things get uncomfortable or unbearable, seeking only the pleasurable ecstasy of joy? Intimacy and unity begin within ourselves, in our capacity to feel every feeling – uncensored and uninhibited – as we open our hearts unconditionally to receive Love. Love is vital nourishment, a force of nature, and a state of being.
