Compassion and forgiveness are two very important sub-themes that are influences in the first part of the month. Think of them more as universal energies rather than a specific approach and focus towards something or someone. There is an aspect of healing that is very strong this month and it is aligned with the feminine. If you can learn to embody compassion and forgiveness as universal energies, you will become a tool for healing and alignment for yourself and for others. Compassion and forgiveness dissolve conflict, neutralize karma where possible, and help to unhinge and disengage attachments, expectations and a variety of negative emotions. There is no need to focus this energy on anything in particular. In fact it is more effective to learn just to be it, to embody it and to come from that place all the time. The feminine aspect of the year combined with the priest role of the year support learning about spiritual leadership through the feminine rather than the masculine. The feminine is about the landscape rather than the object. The feminine is about the community or the family rather than the individual. The feminine is about the whole rather than one isolated aspect. This shift requires changing the way you think about yourselves as separate and individual. It requires you to participate in the whole landscape rather than as an isolated piece. This is a big shift for the planet and the masculine mode of operation that has dominated up to this point. A good place to start is to practice being compassion and forgiveness as a channel for healing. The feminine is about being rather than about doing. If you can be compassion and forgiveness, you will find many irritations dissolving and many opportunities opening up because of your willingness to receive. When healing takes place, there is a dissolving of the hooks and clasps that have held a variety of dysfunctional situations of the past together. When karmic wounds dissolve there is always an opportunity for a new alignment. Over the past months you have been gathering the tools, intentions and creative pieces of what you want your future to be. The support this month is strong for having all those pieces fall into place in a new alignment. When this happens, everything begins to flow effortlessly. The key is not to be attached to what this may look like. If you are coming from a feminine place of compassion and forgiveness, you are aligning yourself with the feminine and less likely to be fixated on anything specific thus allowing the universe to bring you the alignment that will serve you best. The false personality will try and control this thinking, claiming it knows what you need. Therefore it will require great discipline on your part to keep a “don’t know mind” and to trust that the right alignment for your highest good will manifest for you. The clues are that it will seem effortless and supportive, and there will be a “rightness” about it that you may not be able to put into words. In fact much of what happens at this time that is powerful has very little intellectual understanding attached. It will just feel right and you may know on some other instinctive level that your life is coming into alignment in the right way. Trust the process. Make strong intentions and then trust the path they take to come into being. Energy never flows in a straight line. The universe is highly efficient but not linear. Toss out your concepts of cause and effect and how your mind tries to control its understanding of the sequencing of events. Sometimes things have to fall apart before they can come together again in a new alignment. This is difficult for the ego as it often feels like failure. Stay out of judgment and keep “don’t know mind”. Your mind cannot possibly know the outcome of anything these days as we are in a new time and operating from a new vibrational platform. Remember the mind only draws from past experiences and those no longer provide a viable blueprint. The mantra these days should be, “Anything is possible as long as I am willing.” Your intentions should come from a place of the highest integrity and be related only to you, even if others are included. Remember you cannot set intentions for another. This may seem like a concept in opposition to the understanding of the collective and how it creates but think of it in this way. The collective intention is to create a tasty soup. Each individual is aligned with that intention. However a soup will not be very interesting if everyone brings the same ingredient to the pot. So let’s say you are pepper. Your intention should be to participate as the best, most fragrant, freshest, highest quality pepper you can be. If you have that intention, it will raise the bar for all the others. The person representing salt will feel the pressure to be the best salt, the person representing celery will do the same and so on and so forth. But you cannot intend that the salt be high quality, you can only intend that the soup turn out well and do your part. Co-creating on the planet right now is very similar. The planetary landscape and experience of collective life is like the soup. The group intention is for it to be delicious. However, everyone involved needs to take responsibility for bringing their own personal high quality ingredient to the pot. If you do your part and bring the highest integrity of spirit to your life, others will follow your lead. Opportunities this month (doing it well):
Challenges this month (doing it badly):
Personal Growth and Well-Being This is a month that can support the deepest levels of healing. All the wounds, patterns, dysfunctions and disappointments of your life can be literally swept clean if you will allow it. Observe how addicted the human race is to the story of misery and suffering. Ask yourself what goodies you still expect to get from the righteous position of your story of misery. Isn’t it time to give it up? First allow the willingness, then the compassion and forgiveness. Open yourself up to another way of living life. Be willing to experience a different alignment for yourself, one of spirit, harmony, joy and abundance. Your well-being this month will be directly related to how well you practice compassion and forgiveness, not directed towards anyone or anything, but as an energy. Relationships Relationships can be healed, especially old karmic ones. Old karmas from the past, especially involving family members, have the greatest potential for healing. This makes room for new alignments to occur. Current relationships can be enriched by compassion and forgiveness. As you heal old relationships, your current ones will begin to take on new dimensions of trust and intimacy. There is an opportunity to let go on a very deep level of old emotional wounds and to change your past, even your past life history. The idea of no separation takes hold as the collective moves towards a more mature understanding of the web of relationship among all living things. This will especially affect any old structure designed as a hierarchy. The towers of hierarchy will fall and everyone will end up wearing the same shoes. This is also a fun time to explore what is possible in community. Personal Health and Well-Being This can be a very positive month for the physical body provided you work with the themes in a positive way. You will be amazed at the healing affect of compassion and forgiveness on any number of ailments. The body will definitely be your barometer this month. If you are exhausted and low energy but have been getting enough rest, this may be a sign you are in resistance to some change or alignment that spirit has in store for you. Remember that everything happens for a reason therefore if you find yourself twisting an ankle or breaking a tooth, look more closely at the deeper message behind the condition (audio lecture on the body as a map is available on line. Click here to view/purchase). At the same time the body, being a responsive elemental, is there to serve you and your lessons. So the sooner you get with the program, the better your body will feel. As we have been suggesting for a while now, it is very important to keep your vibrational level up at a high frequency by ingesting good food and staying away from low frequency substances and toxins such as bad air and congestion. The more time you can spend out in nature the better as nature vibrates at a high frequency and is a source of chi and power for the body and the soul. When all is said and done, it will be the power, resilience and strength of your energy field that will feed the body what it cannot get from the physical environment. Get lots of exercise especially during times of deep process. It will help to assimilate and integrate healing and changes necessary for a new alignment. Business, Finance, Projects and Partnerships Be flexible and willing to move quickly, change teams, get in on something new, let go of something old (even if you have put lots of time, energy and money into it) and be creative. This can be a very prosperous month for some especially if everything aligns and fall into place around a project. Right timing is everything. So if it’s not happening, spirit has another plan. Stay in compassion and forgiveness and all will be well. Much of this month supports personal growth and healing on an individual level. However there is always the area of alliances with others and the way you create partnership will be directly related to how you manage your own alignments. Beware of trying to second-guess and project outcomes onto projects. It will probably end up being very different than you think. Practice having fun with the process itself and being part of the landscape rather than always focusing on the single object, the goal. This is the teaching of the feminine as it moves into a leadership role. Always consider the landscape and the health of the environment. If the landscape is healthy so will be the individual plants. Climate, Weather and the Environment The earth itself will go through a new magnetic alignment that may affect weather patterns and the earth’s stability. Be prepared for anything; be flexible. Practice seeing the weather personality as something you can build a relationship with and something you can gather power from. Watch the tendency to become martyred when the weather doesn’t” cooperate”. Have back up plans. Global ideas and awareness about the environment will have the opportunity to become aligned in a new way so that people and agencies begin to work from the same page. Over the next number of months we will see a definite shift in attitude where people across the planet will begin to work together in a new alignment with the environment in mind. Symptoms of global warming will continue and new information will surface about the role of the sun as part of the warming trend. Enjoy the weather and don’t resist it. Politics, Government and Global Issues New alliances and new alignments are on the horizon. Some surprise shifts in loyalties, policies and decisions. All in all, moving in the right direction of global maturity. The flu epidemic has the potential to take the global focus off conflict and differences and place it on cooperative efforts of support. This would represent an alignment with a focus on healing rather than destruction and competition. The flu does not discriminate therefore everyone is vulnerable and a common ground is established. So whether or not the flu amounts to anything, it will have succeeded in bringing the planet together around a common theme that is not based on conflict. This will establish a pattern that will serve as a blueprint for managing other issues in the future. As the global economy strives for balance, it will become more and more clear that this is also a global issue that cannot be isolated country by country. You will be able to observe clearly that what the collective is creating for itself now are many opportunities to problem solve communally and collaboratively in a effort towards global team building. As with team building games, if it’s too easy, there’s no fun in it. If it is truly challenging to the point of possible failure, when you do succeed, it is very rewarding, exhilarating and empowering. Important Dates: May 1-7: Compassion and Forgiveness. The time for scrutinizing, over-examining and analyzing your past, your karma, your wounds, what you should do, what you should have done, what you could have done, what you need to do is over. It does not serve to indulge the false personality in this exercise. The short cut to a new alignment is forgiveness and compassion. So practice being it every day and then see how your life begins to change. You may find during this time that as you dissolve your attachments, especially to your story of misery and suffering, certain things that seemed so important to you will become more a part of the landscape than the object of your desire. May 6: An important date. This is the midpoint of the current day cycle of the Mayan calendar. It represents a pivotal day where there is just a bit more power accessible to your intentions and the greater global intention of creating a new dream. It would be beneficial to take some time and do a process of intention setting, gratitude, compassion and forgiveness. May 8: Full Moon at 10:01 PM Mountain Daylight time. This is a time to be in the feminine and to honor the landscape and the tapestry of your environment. Be receptive to whatever the universe brings you today. Be willing to heal what can be healed. Be willing to be supported in that healing process. Practice compassion and forgiveness. May 9-15: A time period where energetically your life becomes unrecognizable. At no other time has it been as important to keep “don’t know mind”. You may feel like a boat without a rudder, like a drifter without roots. This is temporary as your patterns are searching for their new alignment. There may be days you feel spaced out or unmotivated. Accept it and practice just being. Discipline your false personality not to interfere in your process with its fear-based conclusions. Continue to hold your intentions for a new alignment of spirit and take what comes without judgment, expectation, disappointment or regret. Stay out of Martyrdom and Impatience especially during this time. May 16-23: A time of incredible breakthroughs. Just under the hard shell of suffering lies a scrumptious layer of joy, support and love. This is the time to break the shell and access the goodies that await those who are willing to let go of the old story. This can be a very higher centered time when everything begins to find its new place, its new alignment. The force behind some things falling into place may cause a sense of instability and turmoil. This is like a rush of energy that runs over some but fills the cisterns of others. What appears to be rocky and unstable may in fact just be an acceleration of energy moving towards alignment. Find your own stability in your practices and in the relationships you trust. May 24: New Moon at 6:11AM Mountain Daylight Time. You are like a pregnant goddess about to give birth to a new aspect of yourself representing a new alignment that only spirit knows the gender of. Celebrate with your community. Spend time in nature. Honor your birth. Plant new seeds in your garden of life and water them with compassion, forgiveness and love. Keep don’t know mind as to what they will look like as plants. They are mystery seeds but they do represent something new. May 25-31: Your life should be exciting, higher centered, in alignment with spirit, inspired, emotionally rewarding, supported, prosperous and effortless. If it is not any of those things, you are in resistance and unwilling to accept what the universe is bringing your way. Strive for balance and open yourself up to a new alignment. Have a deep respect and honor for the order of the universe and the collective creative process that is driving the evolution of this planet. Be willing, be flexible, be compassion, be forgiveness. Have a great month! Lena |
