Have you noticed there is a lot of transition unfolding in the world and it seems to be intensifying?

There’s some deep suffering occuring, many very horrific and sad events like sickness and war are destroying people’s lives. We have seen it grow more dire and traumatic for the past few years and it’s ramping up.

So what can we do about it? For some it’s directly affecting their lives and my heart goes out to them. For me it’s not, and of course I wish there was a solution, but what can one person do?

How do we make a real difference?

Some people protest, lobby their governments, spread awareness, send aid, help where they can, and others’ like myself, keep doing the inner work and hold space for the transitions to unfold.

Why?

Because my energy is the only energy I have a direct control over and when I become more whole by healing a wounded part of myself it affects the energy of everyone.

Just like sicknesses and wars send waves of fear and trauma through a family or across the world, now that we have the internet it spreads way faster.

So rather than focus directly on something I cannot change I focus on what I can change, and when I am called to help someone or something I do.

A lot of people are answering this calling to dig in deeper and take responsibility for their thoughts, feelings and actions by doing their inner work regularly.

How will we ever end wars if we have wars within ourselves?

I’ve been doing this work for many years now but more recently with 13 other women for the past 13 months with our mentor Dawn DelVecchio in her MotherSpirit Priestess Training.

This training isn’t about dressing up like goddesses and playing priestess, it’s about digging in deep into ourselves, and growing our roots by honestly exploring what is still coming up as wounds in our lives so we can heal our feminine spirit. The masculine and feminine spirits have been distorted for a very long time in different ways.

Healing and strengthening these two parts (feminine and masculine) of the whole is how we become whole within ourselves. No matter our gender we all have these two energies within us and if they are not healthy and balanced we are out of alignment.

It’s the Yin/Yang principle (two sides of the same) which is a philosophical concept of dualism in Chinese philosophy which happens to also coincide with nature; at least this is how I see it.

For my final project I wrote an essay which I may share at another time. However to get my creativity flowing to write it I first drew a picture and wrote a poem that represents these energies for me.

This is an expression of my feminine spirit.
