When you take the time to draw on your listening-imagination, you will begin to hear this gentle voice at the heart of your life. It is deeper and surer than all the other voices of disappointment, unease, self-criticism and bleakness. All holiness is about learning to hear the voice of your own soul. It is always there and the more deeply you learn to listen, the greater surprises and discoveries that will unfold. To enter into the gentleness of your own soul changes the tone and quality of your life. Your life is no longer consumed by hunger for the next event, experience or achievement. You learn to come down from the treadmill and walk on the earth. You gain a new respect for yourself and others and you learn to see how wonderfully precious this one life is. You begin to see through the enchanting veils of illusion that you had taken for reality. You no longer squander yourself on things and situations that deplete your essence. You know now that your true source is not outside you. Your soul is your true source and a new energy and passion awakens in you.

Blessing for the Week Ahead
May this week open like flower,
slowly, softly, with promise hidden in its folds.
May you walk through its hours
with your eyes lifted toward small wonders:
a voice that warms you,
a kindness that appears unannounced,
the way sunlight bends through rain.

When challenges rise,
may your courage speak first,
steady and clear,
reminding you that grace grows
not in the absence of struggle
but in your way of meeting it.

And when evening falls,
may peace gather around you like gentle wings,
carrying all that you’ve done
and all you’ve left undone
into the quiet arms of rest.

May your dreams be stronger than your fears,
and your hope be deeper than your doubts.
May your soul walk barefoot
unafraid of the unknown path.
May you trust yourself,
for every great beginning
once trembled like a whisper,
and still dared to speak.
The world is waiting for what
only you can imagine into being.

Overcoming wounding through the feminine archetype Chariklo

Chariklo is a Centaur, wife of Wounded Healer Chiron, wise being and mentor to the Greek heroes. For her love of Chiron, Chariklo transmuted herself from her subtle, light, bright form as a water nymph into a centaur. Her name means 'graceful spinner'.

Chariklo is a transmutative aspect of Feminine consciousness. She's a shape-shifter and stands for our capacity to weave new forms of life & relationship with grace & ease.

She awakens our capacity to give for the sake of love, for another's wellbeing or happiness. Her alignments this week, open up the potential in us to gracefully transmute the karmic legacy of our close relationships through forgiveness, understanding, compassion, the awareness that we are all wounded and love carries us through these poisons with grace.

Chariklo delivers a wave of higher frequency connection that carries us into soulful receptivity and subtle actions that can naturally change existing dynamics.
Key focus: Tune into the subtleties of soulful loving connection that are always there. Acknowledge your soul connections beyond the play of humanness. Chariklo opens the way to embodying & grounding your soul’s true knowing of unity.

I would love to live
Like a river flows,
Carried by the surprise
Of its own unfolding.

"If you can balance something to neutral without judgment or comparison by holding it in its own space, it will naturally move to its highest possible benefit."
