Weekly Energetic Weather: Feb 9th-15th
Overall Themes
So I’ve been trying to write this letter all day. It’s been stuck inside me as a feeling that can’t seem to be captured fully by words, quite yet, but here I am at 9 PM attempting to map it for you. I hope it comes through. Whenever there’s a feeling of being blocked or a sense of my spirit avoiding or dancing around something instead of diving in, it means I’m sensing a powerful and potent change afoot. Fears, apprehension, simple nervousness, or just concern over the unknown elements of what’s coming can hold me up. And that’s exactly what’s going on this week.
We are at the edge. We are looking over it, and a bridge is about to materialize on Thursday, but we have no idea what the other side of the canyon holds. There’s no going back, as the world behind us is disintegrating as we speak. It’s only forward. From concept to embodiment, the courage we’ve been stepping into will now need to be fully activated and put into sport go-mode.
The word revolution can be highly activating in these times, but ironically, it’s the very vibe of the energetic moment. We have a choice. We can embrace the movement and hold an openness to what unfolds or we can shut down and become deeply guarded, scared, and reactive. These new lands are both inner and outer. Your internal world is going to be renewed, if you allow it, and our culture and humanity as a whole is going to feel and express in a freshly innovative and challengingly aggressive way. There will be pros and cons, as with all human action.
I feel called to embrace it all - the good and bad - and with bravery allow myself to move with intention across the personal bridge laid before me this week. How about you?
I was cracked open these last 3 years and forced to release just about everything I thought was my forever. Surrender was no longer a cute concept or spiritualized saying. It was my brutal, gritty, heart-wrenching reality that I re-chose every hour of the day until it slowly became an integrated part of me. I know I’m not the only one who has walked an intense path these last 3 years. 2023 launched a catalytic movement that prepared many of us for this very moment.
I have been rewatching Harry Potter with my sister, and a scene with a phoenix caught my attention. The phoenix turned to ash and in that moment, as corny as this may sound, it hit me extra hard. This was me. I had to burn. My life had to burn. A new era calls for a new phoenix.
Not everyone is here to walk a full-fledged phoenix path (honestly, don’t wish this upon anyone), but I believe we all possess phoenix areas of our lives. And we’ve watched these parts of us burn. Over the last 6 months, slowly, ever so slowly, behind the scenes, a rebirth has been occurring here. We may still feel tender, not ready to fly with our new wings, but that’s exactly what this next 3 years will be all about. The baby phoenix must mature and become a full-fledged radiant mature phoenix, to literally use its new body, to soar, and to heal. Oh, because yes, if you didn’t know, the Phoenix is a healer. Healing through its tears, of course, because healing comes from the embodied understanding of pain, loss, and challenge. Embodied empathy, as the energy of the last week taught us. It’s all woven together. Our pain has purpose. It is not just here to wreck us. It is here to revolutionize us into a rebirth. Your maturing adventure awaits. The world is ready.
How will you step into your phoenix energy this week? What bridge is materializing in front of you? Cross to the other side. See what’s in store for you.
Moon Schedule
February 9th - Moon Enters Sagittarius
Focus on your breath under this moon. Notice when you’re holding it. Let it out slowly and fully. Breath is life. You need lots of life in your bones this week. My classic favorite practice is to count to 7. For counts 1-3, inhale slowly. Pause at the top and then slowly exhale for counts 4-7. Picture your breath climbing up and then down a ladder and or going around a circle. Repeat this until you feel fully in your body, then let yourself smile as big as possible till you feel very silly and can’t help but let out a chuckle ;).
February 12th - Moon Enters Capricorn
Capricorn energy is so beautiful for creating structure in your life, and as we know the body is a structural element, so bringing attention here under this moon will only enhance effectiveness. Build a rhythm for your body. If you thrive on consistency, create repeatable body-based habits, like waking up and eating at the same time every day. If you succeed with freedom and variety, then build out a toolkit of resources that you can select from each day, like a treasure box. Pick a form of movement that sounds fun, a balanced meal that marries your feelings, and a subconscious statement that matches your needed mental uplift. Use these rhythms to weave nourishing food, energizing or calming movement, and healing mental practices into your everyday.
February 14th - Moon Enters Aquarius
An interesting energy for valentines day, may not feel as romantic as you might hope - heads up here. Let your heart feel a bit quirky today. As for your body, it wants lots of oxygen and needs it under this moon. A beautiful time to bring in oxygenating foods and tools. I looooove ozone for this if you have access to an at-home machine or a local hyperbaric chamber. Supporting foods that keep oxygen moving in the body can also be lovely. Think iron-rich (greens, red meats, seafood) and antioxidant-full foods (green tea, vibrant colored fruits and vegetables). And of course, lots of full breaths throughout the day. A great time to enjoy breathwork classes.
