During Winter, we are encouraged to release fear. The ultimate fear for most of humanity is ‘death’. During the Winter, the Hopi honor how Mother Nature releases the energy of death from the earth. The tradition is to let her rest and to be careful not to disturb her. Which would mean to not dig into, dance on, or break the earth. This is also in preparation for the spring seeds that will soon be planted.
In Chinese Medicine, this is a season to reconcile our fears and relationship with death. In Tibetan Buddhist practices, it is encouraged to meditate and prepare the mind for death. It is understood that you want and need to retain a clear mind at and after death. The reason for this is because you are an eternal being and that which your soul carries remains with you. Essentially, when you continue to reconcile and make peace with your inner and outer landscape…you will walk through that gateway in freedom.
There are many different theological beliefs. I counsel many clients from different faiths in their final hours here and their families before and after death. In all that I have witnessed, I encourage each one to stay clear, let go of attachments and fear. I share with them, no matter who you feel you will meet on the other side…you can honor this sacred moment by entering it with grace, humility, an open heart and a clear mind. For the family members that are left behind, I enCOURAGE them to pray and hold the light for their loved ones to stay focused and clear. Championing for those who have crossed over is the deeper act of service anyone can offer selflessly.
With all that being said, if you want to be courageous start to take part of your daily meditation + prayers to ask for guidance silently on where you need to let go, make peace and how to be clear as you walk through your the final winter gateway into the Next. Over ‘space’, you will be lead on how to practice that and BE in your daily life.
Human life is precious. Live it wisely.
The trend of yoga, mindfulness, ritual and spiritual mystique that has become commonplace in health, wellness, business, entertainment, athletics and personal lives globally. In fact, it is a multi-billion dollar industry. In addition, there are billions of photos on the World Wide Web documenting and expressing these practices, teachings, selfies, goods and more. All of which probably support and inspire many in one way or another. Yet, are any of these odes truly a sign of one’s level of consciousness or indicator they ARE or Soon TO BE” enlightened?
I would respond, “NO.” In fact, it is quite the opposite. Most of what is portrayed as sacred or wisdom has an essence of grasping underplayed by the beautiful mask that is offered. The mask contains seeds that will eventually awaken in the pretender and in those who sip it up. (Click Here to Read More)
