Happy Vernal Equinox!!<\/span><\/h4>\n

“You can go backwards to comfort or forward to growth.<\/span><\/h4>\n

You must choose growth again and again.<\/span><\/h4>\n

You must challenge your fears again and again.”<\/span><\/h4>\n

Welcome to the Art\/Life Trail! With the upcoming March 28 new moon we jump back into the saddle and head out onto the trail! This is a journey into uncharted territory! <\/span><\/h4>\n

Lean forward and sense into the adventure and the challenges up ahead. <\/span><\/h4>\n

Let\u2019s be real. We\u2019ve invested the past six moon\/month’s turning inward for a brief amount of time, hopefully each day, finding deep roots that anchor and support \u00a0growth in the year before us. Exciting stuff!<\/span><\/h4>\n

The circular quality of the Natural Year is wild and unknown in its unfolding. That\u2019s why we stabilize first. We remember that we each possess a Central, a Center, a point of alignment and congruence. <\/span><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/h4>\n

Ancestors: Grandfather Sun, Father Sky, Mother Earth, Grandmother Moon; elements: earth, air, fire, water<\/span><\/p>\n

We can all \u2018go home\u2019 to our center no matter where we are, no matter what is occurring. Moon by moon we turn attention toward this creative Ancestral Family: Grandfather Sun, Father Sky, Mother Earth and Grandmother Moon. These are joined by the force and focus of the elements: earth, air, fire and water. With each Moon we witness the groundswell of growth and increased trust in the unlimited creative possibility that surrounds.<\/span><\/h4>\n

In 2017 we stand at a collective trail head. There is such an exciting trajectory before us. Can you imagine moving forward with a personal willingness to act as if everything is new? Are you willing to sense into how being new and feeling into the unknown is a gift? There will be ups and downs on the trail ahead and we are wise to start out with a tremendous commitment…to not wait…but instead…CREATE!<\/span><\/h4>\n

Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffective. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. A whole stream of events issues forth from the decision, raising in one\u2019s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings, and material assistance, which no one could have dreamt would come their way.<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n

To help place this into perspective mark your calendar to read the <\/span>2017 Lifecycle Forecast<\/a><\/span><\/strong> at each quarter turn of the year. Notice how you are keeping pace with your ability to midwife your creative vision into the world. <\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n

Throughout this Natural Year I will be providing prompts…think homework…to support your creative seed vision. <\/span><\/h4>\n

Don’t\u00a0Jump Ahead<\/span><\/h4>\n

I appreciate that even though we are essentially moving up from six moon\/months in the Underworld of the womb-cave and into the light of the masculine Topside world of taking action…still…primarily what we are about here on the art\/life trail is stepping off the predominantly linear manner of \u2018getting somewhere\u2019 to the art of \u2018putting life on feminine time\u2019 allowing ourselves to Be with what is. <\/span><\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

What lies behind us, and what lies before us,<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n

are but tiny matters compared to what lies within us.<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n

Let\u2019s Talk About Clarity <\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

This Aries New Moon on March 28 is the start point on the Natural Calendar and it engages the element of fire. Questing toward your vision ought to light you on fire! <\/span><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/h4>\n

Your Vision ought to ignite your passion! Your vision can be pictured as a steady flame lighting up the inside of your heart!<\/span><\/h4>\n

The power of your vision is increased exponentially when you come from an internal place that is balanced, integrating <\/span>feminine (darkness) with<\/span><\/i> masculine (<\/span>lightness)<\/span><\/i>. This year you can weave a conscious relationship between these Yin\/Yang forces by forging a sacred inner marriage between the two.<\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n

Clarity is inherent to a fresh beginning. Think of wide expansive uncharted territory, visualize an open empty beach. The breath relaxes and the spine elongates, the measure of each step is strong and straight forward. As you move into the first of the three months of spring keep aware that you\u2019re simultaneously stepping out (masculine) and stepping in (feminine). You\u2019re spiraling into the Center of the Wheel even as you actively engage your vision and its organic growth\u2026more on the next call.<\/span><\/h4>\n

Feel what it\u2019s like to be present to you<\/b>. Let others see who you are from this place of balance. Masculine energy is interested in progress, advancement and is willing to be seen. Feminine energy inclines to stillness, solitary moments, being receptive to the guidance from within. Notice how you allow space for each and both to bring you the poise and the power infusing your current Clarity.<\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n

One way to create Clarity\/clear seeing is by witnessing and acknowledging repeat patterns.\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n
