Some words from Gay. Made a lot of sense to me today & I felt inclined to share. Enjoy!! "Spring already it seems! New growth for us all – perhaps a little early but it is definitely happening! The last few months have been quite difficult for many, partly because of the learning the universe has in mind for us.Often a theme emerges during a season of change and it seems to me much of the energy over this last little while has been about understanding and accepting our differences while still embracing our sameness. We can get caught up and subsequently very disappointed assuming our loved ones – or even strangers - approach life as we do. We assume they would make the same choices, decision and actions that we think we wouldand then we are wildly hurt or disappointed when they don’t. This way of being is hardwired to our core and is rooted in our innate knowing that to stay safe we need to follow the way of our tribe. Unfortunately thathardwiring has not quite kept up with the age of technology and the smallness of our worldtoday. Our tribe these days is seldom made up exclusively of our family and birth tribe and even if it is, most of us question the values and beliefs we grew up with and oftenview and interact in the world in a fundamentally different way than our forebears. So, considering how much we have changed since our birth, how can we expect others, even family members, to interact in the world as we do? But we do, and, because of that hardwiring,the surprise of a different perspective can ignite a myriad of frightening feelings. And the more connected we feel in general, the more disconnected we can feel as we get caught amongst the morass of emotions linked into our fight or flight survival response. Accepting ‘Just is’ while maintaining good emotional boundaries, plus a healthy dose of forgiveness works wonders when we get caught in the “I can’t believe that happened, I would never do…..” or “Why did they …., if only I could understand”, which is how we often try to work those situations out. Our brain is clever but can never actually see the world through anyone else’s eyes. No matter how much we try. Right now, with the full moon nearly here, we are being called to forgiveness. That doesn’t mean we allow it to happen again (if it is a boundary issue) or that whatever happened was OK, or even that we need to communicate our forgiveness to those that have hurt us, (meditative journeys can be as, or more, effective if we really enter into them). Forgiveness means the past becomes the past and the future opens for all possibilities. It also allows for the energy we spent in defending our position to be able to be used for more useful endeavours in our magical journey! So where are you feeling wounded? Where in your life could you release some energy?Consider your relationships within your family, your friends or even someone you don’t really know. (For me I think I will practice this with all those politicians as we come up to our elections!!) For our own sake, for those that we forgive and for the whole planetary energy practice forgiveness today. Namaste (‘I honour the place in you that is the same as the place in me’)," - Gay Gay Landeta
