Daily Feng Shui Tip

On 'Dance Like a Chicken Day' I thought I'd two-step around the symbolism that traditional legends say surround the bird that is closely associated with fertility and sacrifice. In fact, the word 'chicken' actually comes from the Anglo-Saxon word 'cicen,' which refers to a young and domesticated fowl. Because they lay the incredible, edible egg, chickens are understood to be a global symbol of fertility and birth and are always associated with those intentions. This is why chicken feathers are used to stuff bedding, since it's the place where most sexual activity occurs. Of course, this bird has traditionally been used down through the ages as a primary part of sacrificial rites, especially when tied to ancient mysteries surrounding sexuality. If a chicken has made itself known in your life, it's time to evaluate your own love or sex life to see if you need to gather up the courage to ask for what you want in either or both. Go ahead and speak up while feathering your proverbial bed with erotic empowerment and then enjoy the ecstatic results!

Daily Dream Decoder

Cave

If you ever watched the old Kung Fu TV series, you may remember the powerful beginning sequence: Grasshopper (David Carradine) is in a cave. He seizes the smoking cauldron and burns the tiger and dragon images onto his skin as he carries the cauldron out into the sun. Upon doing so, his initiation is complete and he is an official Taoist monk.

The cave is the archetypal place of initiation. Caves are the first and most sacred of human dwelling places. As such, people may often feel a primordial sense of attraction to caves in their dreams. Initiation is the Jungian term for becoming a Self in the transition from childhood to maturity. Jung contends that there are rites of passage that need to be completed. The cave is often the place this is done. For much of human history, caves have been sacred places of shelter from the world; the place that became the extent of a person's kingdom in the face of uncertainty and peril. While the cave itself may not be a central image any longer, we have many metaphors for it.

These include small rooms with a sacred or significant object of our past in them, small bedrooms or studies, basement workshops, or other places of solitude and silence. There is also something in such a space that confronts you-not necessarily in an endangering way, but an existential one. This grappling is the business of the cave. To make peace with the object of your grappling is the act of initiation.

If your dream includes leaving the cave, you will probably feel a new unity with the world upon your departure. It's a far cry from being disillusioned; the peace you feel comes from a fuller sense of participation and belonging in the cosmos.

Daily Wish:

If an albatross circles a ship, wish for good weather. Long ago, an albatross circling a ship was thought to be an omen of wind and bad weather; thus the wish probably came about as a countermeasure.

A Message From VERONICA

Timelessness

   

     "We are often asked how to connect with one's own soul.  In your culture it is often a tedious task.  The reason has its roots in the measurement of time. 

     Outside of the linear time is not a consideration.  The eternal moment... which is ever in the present...[is] the only constant.

     We suggest for those wishing to connect with their higher vibration, that a separation from the timeline would be beneficial.

     The soul reflects without the chaos of the dramatic timeline with ease.  An opportunity to step out of the timeline is a wondrous experience for those desiring connection.

     A suggestion of a period of time where time is not considered, [can be] a wonderful reconnection to the soul.

     Perhaps a weekend of no clocks, no measurement and no participation in time whatsoever ... the soul in its natural timeless state while living as human as possible.

     Reflecting on one's participation in a physical environment while appreciating its spiritual gifts.  Ah!  What a true gift that would be.

     So dear friend ... be bold ... step out of physical time ... allow the timelessness of the soul to participate with your human experience.

     Your perspective will expand, allowing the full integration of mind, body, + soul.

     Take the steps necessary to be timeless for a few sun ups and sun downs.  It may change how you proceed from where you are.

     Be eternal for a moment.

     You may be surprised at the powerfulness of it all.
