Episode 196 Lessons of the cicadas, the shedding of many layers and finding your wings

Though this past weekend in many parts of the world has been programmed to mean the end of summer, our inner knowing and nature’s vibrancy would tell us otherwise. Noticing this how this lands in your own body, emotions and mental attitude is a great sacred self care practice.  During a summer full of lovely visitors, and all kinds of experiences, the cicadas came in as beautiful teachers for these powerful times of change. As I was able to witness part of their life cycle, I reflected on how the splitting open of their old world in what seemed to me a kind of backwards trust fall, was a brilliant metaphor for what we are experiencing in our human bodies.  After the cicadas shed their skin, they take time to rest and allow their beautiful green wings to open fully and dry before they were able to take flight in their new bodies. As many of us are noticing, there has been an amplification of the release of programs, and as that happens for us, there is this open space for our “wings” to come in. The invitation of the cicadas, for me, for us, was to allow time in the quiet to let those wings dry.  As we continue to move ever inward to allow more of who you truly are to be born and embodied in this world, noticing and allowing the time you need to integrate is your own powerful sacred self care. Not in alignment with the programs and patterns that have disempowered, but in alignment with your own source of pure love and the natural rhythms that are part of our journey here and now as human beings. Taking the time you need to notice what is coming through the landscape of your own being.  Much love Visit our show page for all episodes here; https://www.artthatmoves.ca/podcasts/
