Finding Warmth Within

Today is the perfect opportunity to stay in, cuddle up (with a laptop :-) and something warm to eat or drink. Mother Earth shifts fast, it was very warm, now it's very cool outside. It's lovely how Mother teaches us to go with the flow when we stay tuned into her. Are you stressed by the Friday hustle and bustle? Did you stay too busy today? Or did you listen to your body and rest? Funny how our choices create our emotions and reality. The common excuse is, "I have to work." For some, yes, I see this is true. For many of us however, Mother Earth is making it quite clear that we are to change our ways and listen to our bodies, our hearts and to the gentle, loving, nurturing feminine within and without that is asking you to honor stillness, gentleness and peace and take good care of yourself.

What makes you feel good? What brings you comfort? Now, I don't mean hedonism so don't go crazy here everyone. But I'm talking about soul food, and not just food. Although, if you know me, you know I often talk about food. What is your soul food? What feeds your heart and soul? We often look to others for this food, kind of like a baby looks to its mother. But as adults, who do we look to for this soul food?

One simple solution is to sit quietly, light a candle and ask God or Goddess what your soul food in this moment would look like. I won't type what vision I just had :-) but after spending a day with some soup, heat, and writing, I'm ready for more movement, a little yoga dance perhaps. Listen to your body. We get sick when we don't listen to our bodies. And yes, this is Raphael piping in before Saturday's class at Firefly. We will be nurturing ourselves and each other at 7pm in Los Altos if you are able to join.

Until then, peace, nurturing, love, beauty, all that is Archangel Raphael, may it be yours. Inhale, and so it is.

Love,
