The Energies of December 2011

The Energies of December 2011

If November wasn't enough to make you wonder what is happening to your life and to the world, it isn't time to get too comfortable yet because December brings us another round of energy for completion, release and closure. Whenever a month opens with an active Mercury retrograde, between an eclipse sandwich, with a Solstice, we can expect big things. Notice I said 'big' things, not 'good' or 'happy' or 'easy' things. There is some big energy in play this month and while we still have free will, we are being pushed to make conscious choices about who we are, what want, what we are doing and where we want to go next.

Mercury retrograde ends December 13 at the degree of the November 25 eclipse point. Just before that, we have a full moon lunar eclipse on December 10, anchoring the choices and decisions made in the previous two weeks. We also have a Star of David configuration with the full moon, repeating patterns from 1996, 1997 and the Harmonic Convergence of November 2003. Is something being repeated you started or thought you had completed then? Don't be surprised if you have to re-do, re-think or re-consider a choice or decision you made as early as the beginning of November or in 1996. You may, after re-considering, decide to do something different. Be open to new and different choices now, as it is time to release ourselves from the beliefs that have limited out options to what we know is possible. The Universe often has more creative solutions, if we are open to them.

December's energies are intense and that is partly because on one hand we have been releasing so much (or it has released itself from us) that we can feel unbalanced, and on the other hand we are being separated from the energy of chaos and fear and have to make the conscious choice to be in a different energy. This can feel like we're out at sea without a boat or a paddle and in one sense we are but we're also in a powerful place of creation, where we get to choose each step on the path. It's exciting but requires our constant focus on intention. What do we want in this step, and the next, and the next?

By the end of December, we are in a rare time when every planet is in direct motion, just in time for us to usher in 2012, a year of great promise, potential, possibilities and power, as long as we work with conscious intention to stay on that course. This is the moment we have been waiting for and we have to act like we're there now, because we are. Remember that your journey is part of your path, so make choices to own the joy, love, peace and abundance you want in your life. It's there for the asking, as long as you don't forget to ask, believe and then be willing to receive. Have a wonderful month.

TANTRIC HEALING

TANTRIC HEALING

The age old Asian philosophy of tantra encourages openness, and focus on YOU.

Various things can bring emotions to the surface. Emotions are no more than blocked energy in the body.

The pendulum effect is known by many, the swings from the positive to the negative and back, good days and bad days, joy and depression. Tantra aims to even the flow, to reduce the pendulum effect making more of an even flow, like natures passage of the tides.

Open the heart chakra and let it flow. Let what flow? Energies and emotions. Many emotions are trapped in the heart chakra. Many are in the lower chakras, blockages caused by repressions and fears, childhood experiences and guilt, often including sexuality. Energies should flow freely around the whole body, but blockages prevent this.

It is time to release old negative emotional patterns.

Tantra healing can be for one person, or shared by a couple.

Start with breathing. Breathe energy into the heart chakra. Open the heart to the pureness of love energy. Be conscious of the energy flow. As each emotion surfaces, work through it, with your tantra facilitator or partner. As the energy rises, keep breathing it in and let it flow to the base chakra.

Share breathing; sit facing each other and breathe together, then one breathes in while the other breathes out. Talk about the feelings and emotions. You partner needs to be receptive. This is your space and time. Feel and tap into your own energy field. Connect and flow as one. This is a safe loving environment to let go and to be healed.

Feel the energy and tap into your own energy centre. Connect and flow as one. Open your energy centre to flow energies evenly back and forth with your partner.

Feel, don’t think. Let go the old, unwanted emotions. They are not needed. They are baggage. Lighten the load.

Avoid taking on the emotions of the partner. Each person needs to feel and deal with their own emotions, to sort them out and to grow as a result. Emotions can be picked up from your partner. Ask yourself “is this emotion mine?”

Where there are sexual blockages (most people have them), usually at the sacral chakra, the tantra facilitator can address this with specific bodywork and breathing. That will be the subject of another article.

Some Tools for Shamanic Practices

SOME TOOLS FOR SHAMANIC TECHNIQUES

Perhaps the most important tool is to slow down. For a shamanic journey you need to know exactly what you want to achieve, and to have a sharp focus, or there will be misalignment with your higher consciousness.

A wild animal is completely aligned with it’s needs, through instinct and the solar plexus chakra. People confuse what they want, with what they need. Asking for what you want out of alignment with what you need will fail. It is easy to (want to) eat more than you need at a buffet or restaurant. The want and need are misaligned.

Then there are those who know what they need but will do the opposite through lack of will power. For a shamanic journey we need to put the desire to achieve what we need.

Think of a SEED. It has the potential to grow. All the needs of the seed are in the shell. From the moment of conception of the seed it has what it needs. Reconnect with the seed of who you are.

You need to want / desire it.
Practice Meditation
Take Shamanic journeys (with music, drumming, rattles, dance etc.)
Use Reflected experience

For example eating: the body needs food but each body can accept or reject certain foods and quantities, like nuts, sesame, shellfish etc. We learn what our own body needs from “reflected experience”. If something makes you ill or sick, reflect on it, and avoid it in future. No “ diet expect” knows your body like you do.

Relationships too are trial and error, and they change continuously, reflecting experience and growth, or lack of it. The needs of each individual change. Each connection with energies from “outside” the relationship brings a new fusion of energies, some powerful enough to blow a relationship apart. Unchanging energies are stagnation. Changing energies are growth.
