Preparation for the Year of the Fire Horse
We're just a few weeks away from an enormous shift in energy, and I wanted to share some guidance to prepare us - body, mind and spirit - for the incoming Year of the Fire Horse, the first time we’ve experienced this energetic signature since 1966.
The energy is going to be FAST 🔥: think momentum, forward motion, manifestation, action, creation, courage, passion, partnership, acceleration, heart-warrior energy, stamina, and heightened perception.
How we prepare for this shift is deeply important and will set us up for the rest of the year - in many ways, we’ll be able to point back to this year as an initiation year - a closing door on the past and the first exuberant bolts into our shared future.
I don’t know about you, but I’m already feeling the first tendrils of this new energy! It feels exciting, uplifting, contagious - lighter, and faster - buoyant… but also a little breakneck, like being carried into a future I’m not quite ready for mentally or physically - it’s all feeling very, very fast. So I’ve taken this feeling, as well as some directives from spirit, to put together some guidance on how to prepare for this incredible transition ahead.
Have you ever been in the company and presence of a horse?? They are magical. Other-worldly. Deeply attuned & sensitive. Far-seeing. Clear-eyed. Highly aware & intelligent, designed to pick up on any subtle change or distortion in the field, especially fear. If we wish to get close to the horse - to develop connection and bonding - we are wise to move slowly. Before approaching, to gather ourselves so our energy is clear, coherent and resolute. To clean, de-clutter and create space in our homes & lives to lighten our loads. To quiet our human minds & move into the cadence of heart-coherence, the natural rhythm of nature.
Over the next few weeks leading up to February 17th, I invite you to:
Practice Conscious Breathing, even for a few moments in the morning… preceding meetings, when in the bath or tucking into bed. Let your lungs fully receive the breath of life and exhale all tension & fear. Animals can sense our strength & vitality - train yourself to have a strong back & soft, open front.
Practice Being Aware of your Posture. Horses are among the most noble creatures of our world - proud, tall, upright, strong. Match their energy before meeting them and carry yourself in that same noble manner - training your mind to stay focused on your visions, goals and the future you will be creating.
Speak Seldom, and Softly. In the lighter, higher frequency we’re moving into, our energy speaks for us… our energy says more than our words. When we quiet ourselves - train ourselves to use our voices more sparingly with clarity and intention - our other gifts of communication & receptivity can come online. Talk less, receive more.
Move with Meaning. When I was learning to mount a horse, my trainer guided me to “see myself moving into partnership” with the horse before I even moved a muscle. Connect energetically first, so that the horse and I were one before we even touched. Practicing this intentional movement in our day to day lives - slowing down, moving with more meaning - will help us prepare to step into the breathtakingly different energy of this year and partner with it.
Grieve Freely. There is so much heartbreak in the world. We are being asked to leave behind so much of our conditioning, so much of what was familiar. We grieve the cruelty and violence of the human world. We grieve the loss of trust, compassion & dignity of many in humankind. When we allow ourselves to weep & grieve, we free ourselves from the energetic imprints of the past, we create space for unbridled creativity, freedom, expansion. Horses can feel our energy long before we meet them, and the more we have released fear - the more we come into our hearts - the more they will feel safe to meet us, bow to the honor & courage rising within us, and allow us to be carried into our future with a stamina & swiftness innate to their kind.
“What role can microdosing & earth medicines play in this transitional time?? Which medicine is ideal right now?”
Yes, absolutely - practicing with medicines can help ease the transition in energy, help us become more mentally flexible as well as more sensitive to our environment and other beings. We are learning to move at our soul’s command, and sacred medicines help us access that inner-knowing and self-trust. I have been recommending psilocybin & Amanita right now as we are all experiencing significant energetic re-calibration and physical re-patterning — psilocybin in particular is a master of integration, and helps support us as we move through the waves of change.
There is a dramatic, flourishing energy arriving in just a few weeks that anticipates our energy and partnership, our steadiness and resolve. If we are grounded, prepared and ready to ride, there’s no telling how far we may go! Quiet, steady, intentional preparation now will set you up for the next year and beyond - February is a beautiful inflection point many of us will look back on in years to come. Let’s get ready to experience life in a brand new way.
