How are you Consciously Connecting
Welcome to the time of year of Thanks Giving, All Hallows Eve, Samhain, Day of the Dead & Alfablo’t (The Old Norse version of Halloween, known as Sacrifice to the Elves) and many other traditions around the world.
Welcome to the Dream Time, seeding in darkness (winter) and the time to honour the Connection To All That Is.
With many of us living on seasonal lands, this magical time of year (fall to winter) is a reminder to honour what has been harvested, to connect to nature, the Elemental Energies, God, Gods/Goddesses and Ancestors, showing gratitude for what has been procured for the winter season and asking for assistance, guidance and protection from those that we connect to during the time of the cold, the quiet and the Dream time.
This time of year is also a common time to acknowledge the death and life cycle we all are a part of. No matter where we are in the world, life and death, death and life is a constant. How we or when we connect and honour it depends on the traditions, but we all do, one way or the other.
We are all connected to this Universal Law of duality (Birth & Death, In Breath & Out Breath, Beginnings and Endings) and wether we know it or not, our instinct is to connect to it, each other and something bigger than ourselves. For me, this is a confirmation in so many ways, fore, if there was nothing else I trusted in, I trust in my instincts, after all it is the nature of what I am, animal… yes, humans are animals. It is a scientific fact. Are we more than animals, maybe…but I personally feel that all creatures great and small, have souls and contribute just as intelligently, if not in better alignment than humans, to this planet. By the way, I also trust in much more than my instincts, but it is a good place to start!
No matter what your belief systems are, it is also a reminder to not get to big in our britches and forget that our Connection is what feeds us, that we are a part of Creation, a Collective, maybe coming to an awareness that we are so much more than we are taught in this society. Connected to so much more.
We are all creating relationship to something constantly, inside and outside of ourselves to support our survival, our quality of life and be with our loved ones. If we are not honouring our Connection, than we are not in right relationship to ourselves or what we are connecting too. What kind of relationship do you have with yourself? others? your life? even the weather? Is your Connection strong with positive energy and purpose, or are you a victim of your circumstances.
Without Conscious Connection we isolate ourselves and the more we isolate or individualize, the more we become vulnerable. We are all connected. No man is an island. A hug a day keeps the doctor away …. oh the quotes just keep on coming! They are all there to remind us to Consciously Connect to be nourished, fed, supported.
Which brings us back to this time of year and the opportunity to celebrate Connection in our own way, wether it be All Hollows Eve, Thanks Giving, Samhain or in other ways, humans have been creating Relationship and Connection for thousands of years through ceremony, ritual and prayer.
This is why this time of year is so precious to me. I get to honour the cycles of life and nature, honour those that guide and protect me, I do a special honouring of my ancestors for the life they have given me. The veils being as thin as they are, the Connection is easy and powerful. I also get to deepen my Connection every year as I grow, for as I grow, my Connection grows.
The vastness and perfection of who you are is already inside of you, the Connection to All That Is, feeds what you are. I invite you to Consciously Connect in your own way. It can be as simple as reaching out to your Source, meditation, opening your heart space for another, singing a song, creating a prayer or making a phone call. Maybe it’s as elaborate as a ritual or ceremony, either way know that what you put in is reciprocated, always.
