Welcome to the art\/life trail ride! Throughout April we are on the first step through the East Gate and the keyword for this 30 day challenge\u00a0is Clarity.\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

Ask yourself: <\/span><\/h4>\n

Where would I benefit from having increased Clairty in my art\/life?<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

At the East Gate starting point for the Natural Year we have options. We can look out to the path ahead and consciously choose the\u00a0direction\u00a0we want.<\/span><\/h4>\n

Consider this idea…symbolically the sun\/solar\/masculine represents brilliant light and action. Sun equals daytime. Daytime is when\u00a0we get things done. During the day we’re naturally action oriented. All day long we lean into\u00a0a ‘gotta get there’ linear momentum or thrust. <\/span><\/h4>\n

Consider this idea…symbolically the moon\/lunar\/feminine represents quieting and stillness. Moon equals\u00a0rest. During the night we are naturally oriented to replenishing. Night is a reflective, mysterious intuitive and organic rejuvenation period. <\/span><\/h4>\n

Combined these sun\/moon dual natures allow us to alchemically and creatively evolve. We become proficient at shape-shifting. We become the Alchemist turning burdens that feel like heavy lead into the brilliant light of gold..the treasure that accrues as we practice and recognize the middle way of balance increases Natural Year upon Natural Year.<\/span><\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

\"\"\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

During the spring and summer we place our primary attention on sun\/light\/masculine thrust action. Things heat up and a lot happens! As we move through the six moon\/months making up spring and summer it’s helpful to also access patience and acceptance. <\/span><\/h4>\n

No race<\/span><\/h4>\n

Keep a balanced pace<\/span><\/h4>\n

Not too hot\/not to cold…just right<\/span><\/h4>\n

Starting out the Natural Year with this ‘middle way’ awareness is brilliant in more ways than one. Being at the beginning of a Creative Decade may seem daunting…too much. <\/span><\/h4>\n

Let’s notice the natural ‘chunk down’ of time into a 90 day\/12 week workable\u00a0piece.<\/span><\/h4>\n

Then let’s cast our gaze out into a longer 6 moon\/month\/180 day length and place a milestone marker there. Lastly let’s circle round to the one year point. <\/span><\/h4>\n

With this approach we spiral through time organically. We take a balanced perspective\u00a0in growing Natural Year by Natural Year. We witness the unfolding of the brilliance, beauty, goodness and wonder that we cannot yet see. We are at the East Gate. Take a deep breath and pause a moment. Consider how this conscious awareness of how to consider natural time is valuable for you. Stop for a moment and get a sense of how\u00a0it’s helpful…and does no harm…to stand at the East Gate recognizing the<\/span>\u00a0natural\u00a0beginning energy <\/strong>of spring. <\/span><\/h4>\n

Why not begin with a sense of balance? Why not make a commitment and investment in the middle way? <\/span><\/h4>\n

Witness the natural world unfolding around you. There is evidence everywhere that when sun-active\/moon-receptive balance occurs creativity flourishes. <\/span><\/h4>\n

Gardens Grow<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

How about if we take on the Clarity challenge and\u00a0align with this natural organic blossoming for ourselves? \u00a0For the days between now and the summer solstice get active! <\/span><\/h4>\n

Sniff the air<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

Sense into and feel guided toward your deepest yearning<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

Right here, right now where would you like to gain Clarity? \u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

Thrust\/Trust<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

This Natural Year is providing us with a fresh start. Collectively we are entering a new Creative Decade. This is exciting stuff! We gather on the trail and align with a deep inner yearning. We take time this moon\/month to seek out\u00a0the fire in the\u00a0belly. We open to the idea: ‘What shall I create?”<\/span><\/h4>\n

Then we drill a bit deeper and open to recieve Clarity. Next we ask\u00a0‘what would be good here?’ and then we journal around the concept of ‘what would love do now?’ Put Love at the beginning and the seed vision will sprout.<\/span><\/h4>\n
