Sun Entering Aries: Be Bold and Courageous!
I woke this morning with my old companion Fear, lying in bed with me and poking me with all the things that could possibly go wrong in my life right now. The unease was so powerful that it was immobilizing me. And my question to myself was: “why”?
The answer was a little strange. Somehow getting everything I want was terrifying me.
So I sat with the fear, I wrote about it, took it to ceremony and soothed myself with my favorite thing: tea and blankets. When I am really feeling upset, I make myself a pot of tea and wrap myself in a blanket or shawl. This brings almost immediate comfort, and allows me to continue doing the things that must be done. Sometimes the fear passes on its own with this simple comfort, other times there is a task that I must do that I am afraid of, and once I do that task the fog of fear and inertia lifts.
As the world goes through the big changes we are experiencing, it is normal for all of us to feel fear because we are growing and healing in ways we never expected. Even positive change can feel terrifying. For all of you I wish you whatever comfort is your own blanket and pot of tea.
