Hello all,
A slower paced day for me after an overly full one yesterday. As I say that the work phone is pinging away so maybe not!
speakout I hope that the body pump served its purpose to blow out some cobwebs. That dream sounds terrifying. I was thinking that if it’s resurfacing trauma that’s causing some of these dreams then there’s a school of thought that advocates physical exercise as a good way to process it.
Elphame I hope the divination meeting went well and that the energy feels clearer now.
Violet lovely to hear about your full moon work and pleased to hear you’re feeling more yourself today. Thank you for that full moon info. I think there have now been studies that show a link between disturbed sleep and the full moon and that some people are more sensitive to the influence of the moon than others.
Barton I’m glad the ideas we shared made some sense to you. I don’t know about you but it always helps me to attach some sort of explanation to a tough time I’m going through (besides the obvious RL reasons). It gives me a comforting sense of energy influences as transient.
Sok1ere I’m glad you liked the articles and love the thought of you being calmed by the tree one despite the traffic and taxi meter! I think those are very wise words about not overprotecting yourself for fear of the bad times. I find it healthy, if not always comfortable (or even tolerable) to remind myself the the human experience consists of a full range of emotions, and again that these ebb, flow and change as life goes on.
certainlymerry I’m glad you found your way back to us. It’s tough when everyone around you is at breaking point, particularly when you’re sensitive to energy/empathic. Do you have practices to nurture and protect yourself? I think it’s one of the times when self care is most important.
littleninja I really like what you say about learning from the tortoises. Animal medicine really interests me and I love tortoises!
Misty your words about ‘regaining ourselves incrementally’ really resonate with me. Very wise I think and the sort of perspective that allows us to be kinder to ourselves. I’ve just looked up blue triangle butterflies- what beautiful creatures! I hope you soon find some relief from the back/hip issues.
sockportal sorry to hear you’ve had such disturbed sleep too. I could never understand how small people could take up so much space! I loved reading about you seeing the sunrise, and hope for better rest for you tonight.
Longing welcome. It’s good to have you here. It’s so interesting how many of us have witchy ways passed down the maternal line. I agree with Blanktimes wise words about the crystal. Mine are all sitting out in the garden after a night of full moon bathing.
Mecury I’m not sure what I’ll be doing yet but it’ll be some hotchpotch thing to represent fertility (not literally in a reproductive sense!) that feels relevant to me at the time. So I might focus on what’s growing in my life- the shoots of the seeds I’ve previously sown. Not very clear I know, but I tend to just work with harnessing the energy in a way that strikes me as relevant at the time. I think others will have some clearer ideas and inspiration, but for now, there’s a few ideas here:

Continuing to send love to those who need a bit of that at the moment x
