Thank you Darja, SÏRÏ - Art Intelligence, and many others for tuning into my live video! Join me for my next live video in the app.
Hello Beautiful People,
Sometimes I am in the wave of listening to everything, all my sources as a preparation for the Ritual.
Some other times - like yesterday - I arrive to the morning from being present elsewhere, but somehow with the ability to focus and tune into what I shall be shared with such clarity.
And I don´t really get to choose or decide. That is the beauty of holding the ritual week in week out, and for the 30th time. I get to experience all kinds of days, the point is to trust that I will have something to show up for and with.
I guess this resonates beautifully with this week´s energy too, which for me is about releasing needs, which I think I have. And honoring the ones, which are deep, beneficial and real.
We enter the week with still in the energy of Gate/GeneKey 49, which goes from Reaction to Rebirth via Revolution.
In the live I have been talking about how reactions are often outbursts of pressure asking to be released or automatic behaviors we simply learned by mirroring.
The kind of revolution our time calls for now (and I honestly cannot wait to see in this world) is the one, where we liberate ourself from all the unnecessary. Let that be any “overdoing” from burning to worrying etc.
I brought the analogy of a child, who is temporarily reacting on being taken away the tv, because he/she perceives it to be needed. But very often it is just something we “got used to have” rather than really needing it. Looking deeper, whether we really need it and let the feeling run its course helps us to move on quicker and choose one simple response over many reactions.
I believe we are going to be taken many things, which we don´t really need the coming period and how we are going to handle that will really depend on our ability to assess whether it is a real need or not - and to navigate our responses (not reactions) from trust and not from fear.
A deep need though for humans is the need for control and safety. But it doesn´t stand alone. We also have need for growth and progress - which comes with Uncertainty and often turns on our signal system (nervous system alarm) on something “unsafe” is going to happen.
So how can we do to honor both needs?
We can assure ourselves that we are safe, turn off the signal - and by being able to do so, we gain ability to control(regulate) our own system - and proceed further with Trust to the Unknown.
This week I have reintroduced this very basic exercise to do the above: it is called ORIENTATION. It can be practiced everywhere and only takes a few minutes.
It instantly confirms us that we are held, alive and connected - which floods our system with a sense of safety and belonging. (See video from 17th minute.)
This weeks Creative call was also inspired by children and I encouraged you to go back to your own childhood and start your creative connection process by doing some of the things you liked to do as a child - or rather, allow your body to remember it.
So start with whatever feels right:
little circles and spirals?
different stains of paint being mixed and mixed?
lines after lines in a repetitive movement?
Be curious and let your inner child lead the way! <3
The Hummingbird/Magician was called in during the Ritual, and who else could come up with more playful and curious messages than children? :)
This one was the one for me this week:
Hope you have a wonderful week, feel free to join me for the Ritual live at 1pm CET on Mondays via the Substack app or via Zoom (link in the Creative Remembering Ritual ear)!
As my Zoom provides a Summary, I would like to offer these questions for further contemplation based on what´s been talked about:
How can we distinguish between genuine needs and conditioned expectations?
How do we balance our need for certainty with embracing the unknown?
What happens when we trust more deeply in ourselves or a higher power instead of reacting from fear?
The ritual provides a structured space for self-connection through creativity and mindfulness - looking forward to have even more of you on this journey!
Here is the Playlist I use 90% of the time for the Ritual.
Please follow your impulse: tune in, stay in silence or choose your own playlist for creating a soft immersive environment! :)
Happy playing until next time! :)
Love,
Réka :)
