On today´s Dog Walk up the mountain in
the last days of winter with spring waiting around the corner I
pondered about how much our lives could change if we would listen
more careful to Nature´s Ways and apply the Sacred Laws to our daily
life in more profound ways.
The Bear is hibernating all winter.
Turning inward , entering the cave and relaxing not using much energy
s/he spends several weeks. When the spring is calling s/he comes out
, renewed, hungry and full of life , ready to hunt and full of sexual
energy.
I do read many status on FB the
last days complaining about winter and longing for spring.
I assume this is symbolic: we are
afraid of this introspective time that turns us toward our own wisdom
and the shadows we need to understand. But by avoiding the seasons
and getting ”out of here into the sun … flying to a sunny island
or wheresoever” we rob ourselves from the experience of the depth
in ourselves .
We often ignore the calls of our soul
and body for renewal through stillness, and introspective times, we
ignore the need of ourselves to slow down in winter, stay in slow
motion and reduce the outer input. We take all we can find to
distract us from the winter silence and not-doing. We exhaust
ourselves. We do not get ready for the natural transition spring is
holding for us. We try to force things , manifest what is not even
yet dreamt ….
as we do not follow the natural flow of
inbreath and outbreath, not-doing and manifesting, turning inward and
manifesting afterwards, we seldom experience natural breakthroughs in
right timing .
This makes us look for workshops ,
books, gurus and speed dating for fill in the gaps and give the
answers that only can be found in the depth of our being by getting
silent, tune out of the outer world, out of computer , networking and
cell phone mode... as well as the endless chatter of our own mind ….
endlessly repeating itself in the same dysfunctional thought patterns
until we go crazy or break down.
What if only by following the natural
rhythm in our own body and heart we can create deep change and
transformation and transit into a re-newal and re-birth....
Allow your winter so that the spring
may come naturally :)
