What are your Holy Days? Nine Things to Remember for Surfing this Wave with Grace

Mexico WavesAs we sink under a white-blanket-of-snow, and the holy-day season this year, I find myself greeting some old familiar dichotemies, memories and a sense of significance that comes both from within me, and all around me…

Meaning is something we project – either at the past experiences we’ve had, and also onto our future ones. Our ability to create meaning doesn’t seem to depend on how reality actually plays out. When it comes to the days we set aside as sacred remembrances, each one has the choice about how to celebrate and what to make of it.
This is the beginning of a series exploring how we take the mundaneness of a day-in-the-life and imbue it with sacred significance, and how that is supposed to enmesh with our personal, family and cultural context. Here goes…included are an enlightening Facebook discussion, and then nine things to remember while navigating through the time of year.
On the purely practical side, feeling to be a bonafide victim of our harsh Canadian winter weather alone, a bailout always seems in order when I sense the holiday season approaching. But the cold air and going slow as molasses in winter gear is just the tip of the iceberg for me.

Jumping to the sublime for a second, the sensual memories are sweet for me because they mark an annual chance to connect with family and friends, which I LOVE. Now with a young son exploding with X-mas x-pectations…ug. Keep Reading

Bringing Alive the Voices of The Four Universal Archetypes

Our Common Threads

To get into the heart of the subject, of which my health was the object, I was guided to follow a system of looking inward. This inward view introduced me to the way that archteypes can be used to follow the threads that stay constant in the movement of our heart and minds, and connect us up to every being through all time in the realm of the collective consciousness.
It’s no little thing

So it’s no little thing, finding a voice for them. It requires the innocence of pure observation without judgement, and the ability to see beyond the dualities of right and wrong, good and bad. Archetypal spirituality asks us to look more deeply within ourselves, and reframe these more surface dualisms as light and dark, awake and the unconscious, on-purpose and in shadow.

There are always these two possibilities with the way that archetypes appear, and we can use the characteristics of them to first identify them within ourselves, and then to give them voice, to give them a vehicle to travel from the depths of our unconscious mind and heart, and into the light of day.

We are all caught somewhere in the shadow. We can be extremely awake in one way, and then utterly asleep in another. Archetypal energy is there to remind us, and give us a framework for getting into it and creating the will (fifth chakra) to make something for everyone to benefit. Archetype work is always on behalf of the collective consciousness, so if we learn to give voice to it, we do it for much more than just our own soul’s growth.

Our attention can do two primary things, move in and move out. The five senses of taste, touch, smell, sight and hearing all move with our attention, the senses are nearly all outward moving, unless you include an additional sense – the one knowing. If you make a practice path out of turning to this “within,” it’s called pratyahaar. Keep Reading
