LIR 92915 - IngwazR, and UrazR in water

If you find yourself staring at a situation, a project, an event, wondering why it's not going anywhere, this week the possibility is there are no seeds hidden under that planning. You can work and work, but nothing is going to come from it.  Most likely, this is  because of a lack of emotional connection. Whatever the situation, it's not feeding you and you feel very little for it.

The question for the week, then, is what do we do? Do we strive to plant seeds, create a connection, change the perception or the situation so we do care? Or do we move on to something that brings more zip to our personal doo-da?

IngwazR and UrazR - what is it really worth to me?

************************

Well last week really felt like I got little done. I think I spaced out on the focus on the work part, and got caught up in all the other drama. Hopefully, this week, I'll connect with what does feed me and quit paying attention to crap I really have no desire for.

I expect a more productive and (naturally) happier week!

I hope you have one too!

LIR 41015 Fehu & IngwazR

What energy is feeding you? Is it enough or too much? 

Is it in accord with the energy that fuels your passion?

What seeds haven't blossomed yet? 

Do they need more energy, more time?

 Have you even missed them?

BEST. HAIRCUT. EVER.  and Oh, I didn't think of that.

So, Fehu was about my haircut appointment at Spellbound, I expect. Not necessarily about the haircut itself, but about where it was. About expanding my community (because Spellbound is a metaphysical store as well as a hair salon; and the stylists are Wiccans. And practicing Witches.) I do enjoy the restful company of being among people just doing their thing, exercising their power joyfully.

And Fehu was probably a bit about staying up until 1 in the morning writing about the experience (See Meanderings blog.).  It's interesting that pouring my thoughts and ideas out onto a "blank" page brings me great joy. I love writing. Possibly as much as I love singing. Actually, possibly more.

Wait. No judgment. No comparison. It simply is. I have so many possibilities for awesome happiness just among the seeds I have chosen to focus on, is there room for more?

But, yesterday I also visited with the next generation of my family (or some of it). And yes, I have missed them. Their exuberance. Their unique perceptions.  Their expressions and reticence. Happily, I have made plans to spend some time with them. So, yeah, there'd best be room for more.

When you're happy you need less sleep right?

I hope you have a great day!

Today looks to be a good day to step back emotionally.  Feed the work in progress & release expectations.  It will bloom.

******************************************

Mostly I interpreted this, for me, as another "one step at a time" reading.  Focus on the work, not on the future gains from the work.

The emotional distance advice did apply today.  I did a house cleansing, and finished it with a song.  I feel buildings hold emotional vibrations, and the energies linger because they get stuck in grooves, like water creating the Grand Canyon.  I also anthropomorphize everything -- though houses are harder for me to get a sense of.  Perhaps because of who serves whom.  But that's a meander for another day.

So, though the cleansing was for the comfort of those living within the house, it was also for the house itself.  The intent of the song was to give the house a space of time to remember, a tool to help it retain that "shower fresh" feeling.  The song I chose was "The Song Remembers When" by Trisha Yearwood.  I think it's an excellent song, if you listen just right, for fond recollection, and for taking a moment.

However, it is a favorite of mine for recollection, and it can be a very emotional song.  So today I got to practice keeping my personal connection out of the work - a first for me & singing.  Usually, the aim in singing is to convey the emotion (the level of conveyance being dependant upon the karaoke crowd.)  I did actually visualize myself stepping back, when the tears started to well up, and am satisfied with the result.  It probably helped that I was at the end of the cleansing, instead of the beginning.

Even rune readings, now I think about it, require a bit of emotional distance, especially if one is reading for someone one knows.

I hope you have a great day!
