3 Storm

[Sunday 2 February 2020. Happy Imbolc!]

The Quickening
The restless spirit is seeking novelty and freedom, spontaneity and vigour. Your hunger is good; the vibration of change is shaking the air.

Movement and Flexibility
Feel the storm out there, respect its power. The electrical charge of the psychic environment seeks a pathway into your life. Observe the novelty of the day.

Today is a good day to follow and act upon any unusual or different opportunities. Generate energy by doing something out of your ordinary.

Be alert; don’t think too much, just go with it. Be with the energising vibration.

[Extra message from Laurence to contemplate on 3 Storm:]
In all timewaves, Day 3 allows us to move out of the block we might have felt on Day 2.

If you had a day of constant self-reflection without resolution yesterday (even leading to inertia), you might well find that the 2 Obsidian tension actually created an energy that transforms today, 3 Storm, into a degree of creative resolution through vitality.

The 260-day cycle of the Mayan Sacred Calendar (known as the Tzolkin) is an enormous asset to creativity and understanding as it allows you to plug into the emerging energy – the gestating energy of potentiality – and all that is seeking expression.

It doesn’t matter if you have only just discovered the 260-day cycle. It will take a few cycles to fully tune in, but you will feel it after only about two cycles – and then you have rare access to the soul realm.

The key to learning any subject is to connect to nature and to the cycles of reality, to observe life and – yes, indeed – to feed the mind with information, but then to hand it over to your soul. Give it to the unconscious.

As we are witnessing, the small-context box of material science and mainstream conservatism has reached the ends of its usefulness. The oxymoron of modern pragmatism is that it is totally impractical for the continuing progression of human life.

The rational mind is just a tool, to be used but not revered. It is the intuitive, creative, heartfelt approach that needs to dominate the rational mind.

Follow the energy and texture of the Mayan Sacred Calendar days. So simple, yet so overlooked. It will reveal its richness to you, and it will allow you access to the creative realm of the soul.

[Extra message posted by Laurence for Imbolc 2013:]
In the Celtic Wheel and the cycle of the solar calendar, today (yesterday in some places) is Imbolc. This is a real gateway, like all of the pagan or Medicine Wheel festivals or markers, based on real astronomical alignments and the annual cycles that directly affect our bodies and, therefore, indirectly affect our social year.

This is the time for Spring cleaning of mind, body, feelings and your space. Space clearing is incredibly powerful. Each time I do it, (on it for the last two days) I am reminded just how immediate the effect is – it literally creates more psychic space, we feel so much lighter. The clearing and cleaning is to make way for the upcoming Spring energy; it is preparation for birth with the Spring Equinox.
