The Purple Eye
being human ~ crying, laughing, serving
Yes, as in the little black light lit shop in the 90’s, and the other witchy one, where you could buy spell books and all things black magic in case you needed to curse a boy who scorned you. Since I was 12, I loved the unconscious, the underworld, the hidden shadows that lie within all human beings and how I might be able to affect them whether with nightly prayers or witchcraft.
I’ve now been studying the Enneagram for nearly 10 years and have always dipped into the astrological realm for insight. The other day, per Marie Forleo’s guidance, I took an online Myers-Briggs style test. I thought it would just tell me everything I already knew, which in some ways it did, BUT it gave me a whole world of affirmation and let me know that, yes indeed, these patterns will live within me till my grave. It’s why I’m here... to work with them, to move beyond them..... but not kill them.
This is the theme. How can I be in relational non-violent communication with EVERYTHING?
I had the beautiful gift of working with a dear friend yesterday. She’s about to go through chemo after healing from a double mastectomy.
We talked about what else the cancer cells might need to say or have to offer.
She came to the most beautiful awareness of what healing truly is.
“I don’t want to be at battle with anything. I’m not here to fight.”
How can we navigate painful diagnoses, trauma and pain without fight? So often we talk about getting rid of, battling, surviving, etc.... What if we had the frequency of... “Oh hello. What are you here to tell me? I’m open to learning. Show me the way....” It doesn’t mean that we forgo surgical intervention or bypass true medicinal need, psychotherapy, hormone therapy, etc... It just means that instead of being in the frequency of FIGHT, we float into the frequency of DEEP LISTENING.
Deep listening to our shadows, our pain, trauma, diagnosis, our hearts, our deepest most scared selves, so that we can be wide awake with our partners, children, friends, loved ones and not-so-loved-ones…
Some gifts worth exploring, as the world continues to need your inner peace, strength and light.
