Here in the Bay Area, the weather is heating up; it was whopping 90 degrees as I drove down the stretch of the 680 corridor SOUTH bound yesterday.  Anyhow, what I am saying is that it almost feels like SUMMER.  Summer time brings that fiery energy-that energy of wanting to have fun and socialize.  Well, technically we are still in the Spring Season.  I can tell because my to do list seems to be a mile high and I’m not stopping until nighttime when my body says, its time to rest.

For me it feels kind of like we are in the midst of transition of the SPRING to SUMMER.  Yet, I feel the heat and everything is blooming in my life as nature’s surroundings are.   I am feeling the pressure to get stuff done in that fiery kind of way with the BIG LIST, while all the seeds that I have planted in the FALL and Winter are coming to fruition.

How do I sit in the midst of my BIG LIST and get it all done without harming my body, staying focused and feeding my Spirit.

I still eat organic nutritious meals in the chaos of all I have to do.  As a matter of fact, the amaranth is on the stove almost ready to be served up…I take small breaks between each of my BIG tasks and do some type of mind exercise to feel good about what I just accomplished….That could be me appreciating all the beauty and the things that I love about my life or it could be me simply dancing and giving my Head-quarters a break or taking the time to make sure that I have that nutritious meal for my body.  Besides, it helps that I did my Vibrant Energy Flows this morning-  all 6 of them!

When the Universe opens up space in my life, I take it and understand that I must have needed it otherwise it wouldn’t be there.   Yet, I have this Yang Energy of wanting to get everything done, have my schedule full and my list checked off.  I know that everything is always unfolding beautifully as it suppose to.  I have this knowingness about myself and about how life works.  Everything and everyone shows up exactly when and where they are suppose to … and I don’t need to make things happen all the time.

In Chinese Medicine, we have a Shamanic practice.  We call them The Five Shen (Spirits).  With the Wood element –specifically liver it is called the HUN.  The HUN is the ethereal soul of the body that exists as consciousness even after the body expires.  So I love to intertwine all of my wisdom and practices that I have acquired over the last two and half decades.  I am constantly raising my consciousness to what is available to me and know that Spirit always supports me.  Truthfully, that’s how I get through my BIG list sanely and still intact without all of the drama (which ego could bring)  but with dharma.
