Through the seasons...
Did you know a new moon is a good time to check in on the progress of your dreams?
If you’re in the southern hemisphere…have you harvested well? Are you preparing yourself to move inward to the dreaming time?
If you’re in the northern hemisphere, how are your dream seeds doing? Are you tending them well? Do you have sturdy, well-formed plans?
If you’re new to this idea, give it a try by spending some time noticing the seasonal rhythms of the land where you live.
What are the plants doing now? Beginning or ending their bloom or fruiting cycles? What are the animals doing? Once you have a feel for the rhythms of your home ecosystem, then you can begin to align with them.
For me, this means visioning and planning for my business and my spiritual journey during the winter, taking first steps, planting seeds, making initial changes during the spring, tending and spreading the energy of my dreams outward into the world during the summer, harvesting and integrating the results in late summer and autumn, and then beginning the cycle again with the next winter.
It doesn’t mean I never start something new in the winter, but for the bigger picture things I try to align them with the natural rhythms of life around me. When I do, things go more smoothly, and I get to partner with the energy of a whole ecosystem to move the dreams along, rather than pushing them by myself.
So, how are your dreams doing?
