Dig In Roots and Sprout Wings

Hi lovelies, it’s been a bit since I wrote a blog article and I find myself thinking of this month’s Inner Constellation Blessing* theme: growth. The season of more light and sprouting things is upon us and I’m taking a jump start!

Two things are my formula for “growth” as I see it—having a foundation, or roots and then using that stable base to push off and grow in the direction I wish to grow.

When I think of foundation and roots, a stable base, I think of the practice of going within and establishing solid ground. In our society, we’re taught very early on to go outside ourselves for answers—seek the professionals, the trappings that will make us happy or enlightened, when truly the seeds of insight are within. Who knows us better than us? No one.   

So, if I were prescribing my personal plant food, it would look something like this: 10-10-24, these numbers are my nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium :)

  • 10 minutes of stillness – simply sit still, connect with my heart and breathe evenly
  • 10 minutes of self-care – nurture, nurture, nurture. Is there anything interfering with my self-care? Body pains, thoughts, feelings? If so, I tap until my distress is below a 5 on a scale of 1-10. If I’m a happy rooted growing thing, then I simply soak in all the goodness I can generate.
  • 24 hours in the day – bring my mind, heart, body back to my roots whenever I stray. Come home, anchor to my breath, breathe evenly, give thanks, and notice all the conditions for my happiness available all the time-24/7

With 10-10-24, I am set to go, I am jump started and wings begin to sprout—watch out! Excuse me, I’ve got to fly….
