Move, Before the World Moves.
During my recent discovery calls with our incoming guides, several of them mentioned being drawn to the training because "it is the future."
More than a few reflected they were 'biding time' where they were presently working - ‘tolerating’ toxic circumstances, ‘waiting it out’ for this-or-that metric, 'putting up with it' until a certain age, until - “one day/some day” in the future - they'd begin following their heart and pursuing what they really wanted to do.
They shared that the training represented a glimmer, an opportunity to start charting a path to that future… the easing-in to a new chapter, the gentle trying-on of a new identity, a placing of some initial pebbles on a new path.
But the universe had something else in mind. 🌀
As soon as they spoke it out, one's job was made redundant. A corporate client cancelled a planned project. Another was replaced in her organization. Another's company announced it was going out of business. And another received the news her program would be terminated at the end of this term.
It turned out later was NOW.
The world is changing so quickly - moving so quickly - yet we can make moves now to get ahead of it by trusting ourselves, investing in our growth & following our hearts. There is so much cosmic support - momentum, more-than-human forces at play in our lives right now - and if you feel like the chess pieces of your life are being moved around by an invisible hand right now... you wouldn't be wrong.
For a great many generations, we've lived exclusively from our minds. Now we begin to remember how to live from our hearts, to source from our spirits, to listen to our bodies, to decide from our souls.
Sometimes with a subtle nudge, a strong push, or even a flat out ultimatum from spirit.
For many of you, the universe has decided to speed up "someday" and instead drop you onto that future timeline right now, ready-or not! (And you're more ready than you think.)
One of the things I’ve noticed consistently with earth medicine practice is that nature often shows up in our lives - summons us to her - right before our lives are about to go through a massive change. With medicine we can only see in hindsight, we realize that microdosing practice helped support us through navigating unfamiliar circumstances, developing resilience through uncertainty, and remaining open & responsive to new paths, ideas and solutions.
Nature helps us instigate change from within - inspires us to move & expand within our lives - anticipate, adapt and respond to a changing world. Practice readies and prepares us for the moment so when the world moves, we are already moving with it — we can slide into the saddle and partner with life more gracefully and harmoniously.
Earth medicines - by themselves - will not change our lives, nor the systems, environments and circumstances we live within. What they do offer us is the ability to heal ourselves, trust ourselves and empower ourselves so that we may change our lives and re-imagine the systems, environments and circumstances we live within.
By stepping into the future first, we ensure that when the world moves, we’ll be there to meet it.
