Today marks the mid-point between winter solstice and spring equinox.The days are growing longer, and you know what that means—only 47 days until spring!
As we step into February, we're reminded that, just like in nature, we may be "dormant", but deep within us there is movement toward growth. If you're like me, you may be feeling the stirrings of spring already. I even had the urge to jump into more active energy--in the garden!!! Then I remembered something very important: I still need these precious weeks of winter's nurturing rest, physically, mentally, and spiritually so that I can gather energy for the beautiful work of Aligning with Wisdom still to come this year.
If you're feeling scattered, ungrounded, or disconnected from wisdom right now, you're not alone. Mid-winter can create tumultuous feelings within. To say nothing of what's happening in the world right now. Even though on the surface there's a lot of chatter and plenty of distractions that tug at our attention and pull us out of our center, this is the time for self-care. Take this month to recharge. Self-love and self-care aren’t luxuries; they’re essential practices that allow you to meet life with resilience and strength, in alignment with wisdom.
This Co-Creative Mandalas Oracle three card reading taps into the energy of the month so we can navigate the weeks ahead with grace and ease. This month is all about trusting your inner resources, including your intuition, and not letting the outside world dictate how you feel or where you focus your attention.
This card reading helps you Align with Wisdom and discover new ways to live your purpose. Come back to this reading whenever you’re feeling stuck, seeking clarity, or ready to Align with Wisdom--inner and outer.
Before I drew the cards, I asked:
What do we/you/I need to know about Aligning with Wisdom in February?
The first card, the Focus Card, anchors and grounds us this month.
