Life Continues. Awareness Guides. Heart Within You. Dance Seaside.
The world around all of us is a fast moving dynamic system that has far exceeded the necessary pace modeled by this world system (aka Mother Nature). Yet, there continues to be a grasping from many beings to push beyond one’s natural state of awareness, physicality and current capacity (To be noted: your capacity is based on your eternal being, karma (cause and effect), knowledge retained and wisdom mastered. With mindful effort in this life you will continue to grow, transform and evolve. Even achieve your life’s great work).
The current demand to run ahead…is similar to wanting to mathematically solve physics problems before even learning how to solve algebraic problems. Which ultimately, will require each self to start by learning the basics. The on demand and/or co-oped “solutions” that may or may not benefit the immediate and/or future visioned outcomes. These choices need to be deeply considered. Hence, you can settle into what mother nature mirrors so beautifully to all of us. You can remember how to return to your natural state of being…harmony with your inner and outer world.
When, you become present with yourself and the world, you will start to feel into your individual pace, your capacity and you community’s dynamic flow. Each and every person’s energy is equal; however, each person move and distribute their energy at a different rate. If we all moved at the same speed, we would eventual flow into an entrained trance leading you to pass out from exhaustion or fall into a deep slumber. Hence, within this world system, there will be a natural pause in the entrainment. The reason for this is because we are all different. Eventually, you will need to return to your natural beat to help the whole retain harmony. You can think of all the rates of energy being distributed in a forest from the insects, microorganisms, plants, animals, humans and so on. It is truly incredible to observe and contribute to the miracles unfolding in nature. It is a complex web of energy that relies on you.
During Spring and Fall Seasons, it is an opportunity to play with the dynamic ‘nature’ of motion. Which can bring you back to the foundation of all mathematical processes… counting and a simple two step. Then, you can build from there. If inspired, take some time to feel into your natural rhythm and how you most naturally can contribute your true nature to the world around you. Once, you harness this uniqueness you will feel more empowered to beat to your own drum. The miracles will unfold from there. ~sT
For you still integrating the full moon energy…
Every lunar cycle the "moon" reflects light and shadow. We have reached the Full moon in a month currently identified as May in the 3rd Lunar Cycle (in coordination with Tibetan tradition) coupled with a lunar eclipse. Two astronomical events welcoming us to be still and listen.
Spring and Fall arrived in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. The vibrant colors of nature are calling for your attention. As inspired, leave your artificial devices at home and take a walk into nature and sip up the energy. If you have film camera, a musical instrument or a sketch pad take a little extra space to capture what is calling for your attention by creating an expression of art inspired by nature. The abundance of color is a reminder to engage in color within your food, clothing, festivities and ways you choose to express your gifts. The FULL Moon and the season of SPRING/Fall continue to invite you to feel and abide in the sweet fragrances of the buddy flowers and to incorporate them into your meals, beverages and homes. Continue to see and remember how to sip up the essence of renewal and regeneration. As our brother’s and sisters in the Southern Hemisphere are invited to savor the changes of colors and the opportunity to clear their lungs (grief) and make space for new creations. As our Brother’s and Sister’s in the Northern Hemisphere are invited to nourish our livers and move anger into patience and action. No matter where you are on this planet. Start by listening and begin planting your seeds and imagination for your vision.
As inspire, continue to purify and remain clear. The opposing forces are transmuting and separating from those who choose to free themselves from the ages of manipulation that have lead us to here. Manipulation will continue to be seen quickly. Truth and sincerity will be welcomed with radically honest candor. Trust will be built an integral action, no longer woven by false promises, smokes+mirrors and the tricks we have participated. These spells are being broken. As inspired, run FREE.
The sky, sun, moon, stars, clouds, trees, earth and sea are communicating to each of you. They all run through you just like the divine energy and pure essence of love. When possible, take a few moments to engage with your mind’s eye, imagination and the wonderment of a child’s gaze and a heart of love. The buddying creative energy will assist you continue to honor mother earth's spring and fall seasons with a gentle exchange of energies. As this dynamic exchange is in full motion. Remember to show up with self respect, deep love for self and other…let go of the river banks (aka what you think you know). There is nothing to cling onto. Finally, if possible allow each and every moment to be a new moment and consciously take action for the benefit of all in the present moment and future moments.
As a gentle reminder, contemplate your humanity and your inner gifts are destined to serve others.

Mind You + Food Recipe
Ayurvedic Spring Tip:
Nature provides foods that are naturally bitter, astringent and pungent. A tenant in Ayurveda is to satisfy all tastes in every meal: sweet, salty, sour, bitter, astringent and pungent. The reason for this is to balance all the elements that are part of your physical body and the outside world. In Spring, we want to create the cleansing and sprouting motion as mirrored in nature (ie. The budding and blooming flowers). We want welcome our vitality into forward and outward motion. The attention to making sure you are integrating all 6 tastes into your daily meals with an emphasis on bitter, astringent and pungent will help balance your entire being in spring.
Examples of foods with bitter taste: kale, Swiss chard, dandelion, broccoli and collard greens.
Foods with astringent taste: lentils, beans, pumpkin, artichoke, Brussel sprouts, cabbage, broccoli, spinach, parsley, barley, buckwheat, quinoa and watercress.
Foods with pungent taste: leek, arugula, turnip, radish, scallion, ginger, black pepper, cumin, bay leaf, mustard, basil, and rosemary.
The above recipe gives an opportunity to play with all the tastes and see how it meets your taste buds and digestion.
As I always share…one size does not fit all in any or all aspects of life (especially with food). You are best to listen to you.If you need assistance and/or want to learn more send me a message.
