Wow. So much to say. So much is happening and so much of the world as we know it, especially in the U.S., is changing fast.
Where do I feel it? I feel it in my heart.
The current Administration and many Republicans in office are aiming to destroy our U.S. government and civil rights, and are especially targeting transgender people, people of color, immigrants. women and so much more. So many federal employees who do so much Good are under attack– forest rangers at national parks, those performing search and rescue missions, those building new trails, educating and welcoming the public, helping people be safe in the wilderness – fired for no reason. Civil servants from numerous agencies, working to keep our water, food and air safe – terminated and fired in the name of cleaning out “fraud and waste”. Our foreign aid from the USAID amounting to less than 1% of our federal budget to help the most vulnerable around the world has been cut off. Our relations with countries around the world are being ruined, and our country’s foundational safety nets of caring for our farmers, families, older adults, immigrants, people with disabilities and children of our country are under attack, as well as our education, sciences, universities and more – all to give a tax cut to billionaires and corporations. I could go on and on…
I care so much. And I feel it in my Heart. It hurts because it hurts so many, and hurts so much I love, we love.
And…. my Heart is just the place I need to be now and each moment going forward.
So much is at stake. And…
My Heart is where my Feeling is.
My Heart is where my Power is.
My Heart is where my Wisdom is.
My Heart is where my Love blossoms and flows through me and nourishes, strengthens my soul and all the Life within, around me – my family, community and all my relations in the Earth and Sky.
This is the place I need to be and choose to be to guide me now, in each moment on how I can best be of service to all I Love.
2025 – Year of Transition, Into the Heart and the Power of Now
Astrologically we are also in a time of moving from our heads into our Hearts. Astrologist Pamela Gregory speaks to this in a recent powerful talk, The Year of Transition, 2025. Our heart, the biggest electromagnetic organ in the body, connects directly to the electromagnetic field of the Cosmos – it is our direct connection to “Source” to the intelligence, the magic of Life. There is a reason our Heart sends more information to the brain than the brain sends to the heart. There’s a reason our Heart is seen as the Emperor/Empress of our being in Chinese Medicine. There’s a reason our heart is directly connected to our tongues (as a fetus, our tongue grows from the heart tissue), is what will guide our speaking out, standing up to injustice and standing together. There is a reason this is the time of being in our Hearts.
Can you feel this? I can already begin to feel this transition from head to heart happening. I can feel what is happening to people around our country and our planet – the sadness, grief and anger – In this I also feel an awakening of an even stronger sense of connection – our sacred web of connection. This connection that enlivens, awakens our understanding of our kinship with our human and non-human family of Life. I see and feel this rising up and rising up within the American people speaking out from our Hearts and taking action.
In the next 15 months, all the outer Planets and dwarf planets are also changing signs – from the slower, more dense Earth and Water signs – into Fire and Air. This is a massive speeding up, and a shifting of feeling locked in linear time, to experiencing more no time – experiencing and being here Now.
With all this immense change, I am again reminded how important it is to have and use our daily simple practices to stay grounded, centered, nourished and in our Hearts.
As I have shared time and again, one of my most powerful tools to cultivate these ways of being and being in my Heart is Qigong.
Qigong is simple yet powerful. It is a practice that comes directly from Nature, from the Earth and Sky, and a practice with over 7,000 years of history and transmission. As we cultivate ourselves and the vital life energy within and all around us, we power a blooming of our own and collective transformation.
For this reason, I’m honored to announce an upcoming Qigong class that focuses on our Heart. This is one of the ways I can be of service in these challenging and fast-changing times, and pay forward the treasure of Qigong by sharing the tools and teachings of my home lineage, Zhong Yuan (ZY) Qigong. This class will dive into the teachings of ZY Zhong Level 2, focusing on the activation and cultivation of our Middle Dantian, our Heart Center, the seat of our Power, Wisdom, Confidence and Love.
Join my upcoming 10-week Women’s Nourishing Qigong starting Monday, March 10th: ZY Qigong Level 2 – Our Heart-Centered Power and Wisdom.
