Are you feeling the strength of this year’s Fire Horse, the energy continuous moving forward and pulling back? It demands bold actions but at the same time it requires of you to pay gentle attention how to move forward in the right direction.
I’ve come to appreciate that changes come from challenging times; we grow and evolve building resilience to cope with life better. And wow life’s quite challenging for a lot of us at this moment in time, not only physically and mentally but emotionally, financially and socially too…
It’s really important to listen to our gut feeling, our gut instinct’s telling us the right thing to do and more often than not we tend to ignore this feeling. The gut is intimately connected with the solar plexus and in yoga practices we often refer this to the “Fire in the belly”. It’s where the Manipura Chakra resides, on the spinal column behind the navel just behind the belly button.
We can activate that area with movements, often twists postures, to create friction. It’s that friction we need in order to bring on the heat, and it’s the heat we build for our digestive organs to work healthily and also to strengthen our personal willpower. This willpower will cheer us on so we can pay attention to what’s important.
What we need is true desire and dedication wanting to grow and learn from our struggles and challenges so we can do the best we can in difficult circumstances and at the same time this will help us moving forward in the right direction.
Try not to linger but stay focused because there are many distractions in many different forms trying to pull us away from the path we’re traveling on…
Simply say to yourself “I see you, I know what you’re trying to do but thank you I’m on my way…” 😎
