December! How did it get to be December?
Living in New England I should be so used to the snow, rain, sleet, freezing rain, wind gust and icy mess! But us New Englanders have amnesia! We forget about it over the spring and summer and seem to stumble back into the cold with shock as if it is our first "wintry" experience :) Or at least that is what happens to me.
I am struck by the dramatic quickness of the coldness and also the shift in people's perception of the here and now.
Maybe the energy of the New England weather is a reminder to care for yourself in a manner that takes some thought.
Warming up the car instead of jumping and speeding off, bundling up with hats, mittens and scarves brings attention to those important energy centers of your body and protecting them from the harsh nature of the wind and cold. Taking time for kindness.
Energetically, our world is changing and I feel shifting back to basics remembering that we are connected and we must be mindful of this fact with every interaction and decision, setting our intention on love, faith, hope and kindness daily to help this universal change in a more positive manner.
The simple act of calling in the gift of kindness: kindness defined as charity, compassion, friendship and sympathy without prejudice and for its own sake is what we need universally, can and will help at this given moment.
The energy behind kindness is love, connection, in direct contrast behind the energy of fear, which is disconnect.
By practicing our birth gift of kindness we will have on effect on the whole.
Even if you start with a pair of mittens for yourself! That energy will radiate from you, kindness and love!
Blessings, Kristen
