A New Sense of Safety
Labyrinth at Church Ope Cove, Dorset – discovered (and entered :)) on a walk this week.
There has been a lot of energetic change in our world since my last blog post. The US election was only one week ago, but the underlying shifting global energetics have felt tangible to me. We are finding ourselves in a new – if still somewhat subtle – reality. And it can be disconcerting to the senses.
During times of change and transition – as we move from one paradigm to another, be it in our inner world or external world – our perceptions of security can change … will change. Whether the change is deemed ‘good’ or ‘bad’, what was once safe is no longer what it was. The ground has moved somewhat. An inner wheel turning, out of sync with our outward facing persona. We might be silently and unknowingly exploring our sense of security – our psyche re-shaping it, to create a new understanding of the parameters of being. Of a reality we are moving, or being moved, into. And what was once an aspiration can become a sudden necessity … or suddenly redundant, with a feeling of ‘something’ needed for our inner complexities and harmony.
Periods of re-discovering safety can be powerful moments within the length of our lives. It is a special time. A liminal portal, best not hurried – offering awakening and fertile opportunity for mystical experiences. Like the labyrinth, we can weave in … to walk out. Inviting a natural re-adjustment and alignment between our inner and outer worlds.
Looking to the ground and nature – our sacred and constant Land – we can re-trace footsteps. Not to ‘go back’ but to walk in new ways. To rediscover and remember what we know. This month I have been taking different walks: along new footpaths, the ‘not so pretty’ turnings I previously walked past, and with new people: beautiful souls also looking to nature for the way. Safety requires new’ness – safety itself, also has requirements – which will often include creativity: a lifting of spirit and embodying what we have been silently brewing. Safety requires a new consciousness. Sometimes (always, I suggest) … safety requires the imperceptibly BOLD move. The one not reliant on outside circumstances but upon our slice of truth. The one our heart has been silently waiting for.
Love,
