Letting us off the hook – New Year message from LampLighter
I had been feeling it. The desire to just sleep, to rest, to drink hot beverages from a pottery mug, to write, to feel, to sit… and not much else.
I was on my feet of course, working, cooking, entertaining, all the holiday things… but this undercurrent of “being” was undeniable. I kept wondering what was wrong with me.
‘It’s a New Year, Anne! You should be excited! Jazzed up! Inspired!! Let’s go get this year!!!’ I was doing my best to pep talk myself into something that wanted to do anything. I sat and journaled, I tried planning out my year, making goals… blech. I just didn’t have it.
Then came LampLighter Friday. The first Friday of the month and the new year, landed on the 3rd, just a few days into the new year.
“Rest. This is what this season is for. Even the seeds are asleep. Return to rest.” Oh, thank GOD! She/Spirit went on to talk about our nature essence and how we needed in this new year to honor that nature essence. We are part of nature. We don’t just walk outside into it. We are it.
Her words connected deep inside my body and I felt a huge sense of relief. Nothing was wrong with me. I was simply feeling what I was meant to be feeling. My body knew it, my mind had argued.
At the end of our LampLighter sessions those of us that can, stay and chat about the session. The words of relief from this particular message were unreal!! Everyone was breathing into the relief that nothing was wrong with us, we were just feeling the rest and the retreat, and missing the cultural ‘GO GET THIS NEW YEAR!’ that we all thought we ‘SHOULD’ be feeling.
THANK YOU SPIRIT!
Spirit made it clear this energy would last through January and into February. She made it clear that the time we are taking nurturing and resting would be more than made up for later. We will NOT be behind on anything.
So, rest. You’re off the high hook. Lay low, follow nature’s rhythms and sit in the depth of inner quiet that is calling you.
If you are feeling the go get it vibe, then go get it. Don’t let me stop you…
I’ll catch up later, like March.
Forever the journey, Anne
