So this work week starts out with the Medicine Wheel and it is all about attaining personal balance! It is time to place our own selves into positive perspectives and balance. The energy we must gravitate to and harness is available to us, we just have to want to work with it.
The world around all of us churns in negatives and chaos, but we must remove ourselves from that state of mind and feed our souls things that will help us grow as humans in ways that will be positive and life fulfilling. So reach out and grab onto positive things, act instead of reacting, teach the right way of things instead of being angry, and most of all be able to look deep inside and see our flaws and arrogance at the things we are perhaps being driven by ego to do or say, instead understand we all need to reconnect as human and understand that we are all different with different perspectives of life to contribute.
So remember the circle represents life ever changing ever evolving… no beginning, no end rather growth and cycles that we must learn and carry forward in balance. We have a Spiritual Self, a Physical Self, an Emotional and Mental Self, and all of it combines to create our Human Self. So let’s remember to balance that in order to be our Best Selves!
So the Circle has meant similar things to many various cultures throughout time and continues to do so. So no matter what culture we are standing in, what Spiritual Side we utilize in our lives, we are more alike than perhaps many are willing to admit.
Whether it is the Winged Ones, the Four Leggeds, the Plant People, the Crystal and Rock Keepers, the Swimmers or Creepers we all evolve together in the harmony that we were born to. The four lines in the Wheel speak to us of the four directions, the four colors to the cultures and the four parts of our human, the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual being. To understand the Medicine Wheel is to understand self.
This is what we need to understand, that the strengths, the creative, the spiritual, the faults, the imperfections all lie with in each of us. They are all part of who we are, constantly evolving. As a wheel is circular and continues in a constant state of birth to death constantly moving through change, so are we. To understand that about ourselves is how we are to attain balance.
To understand that we are All Connected that we All imprint on the world, the energy that we exist in is to understand the nature of how things co-exist. That there has to be opposites for balance…light and dark. rain and heat, night and day, birth and death… All a intricate part of the Human experience.
Ask yourself what is it that you need to day to add to the positives in your own life, what is it you need in order to set your mind to in order to keep the negative at bay? So today, look to yourself and think about how each word, each action, each breath you take is part of a bigger Hoop, then think what it is You need to do to put your own Circles into a place of balance with all that is Sacred honoring who you are meant to be.
Many Blessings to You All,
