Intuitive Patterns for the Month of December

The month of December finally allows everyone to feel as if they are finally getting out of a rut in their lives. In the Arthurian legends, the term, “Eachtra” refers to an other world journey and adventure that takes you beyond the mind and ego. Such places existed in the “twilight realm” and in the direction of the west or the setting sun. It is only by letting go of what we think we know and allow ourselves to journey into unknown areas and adventures that we begin to feel fully alive.

The only way through is to know that this time is about not knowing the outcome but to go on the journey that has been placed in front of you. Destinations are never the actual goal. The journey to get to the destination is everything.

In the month of December, it will become clear that much effort and toil will be necessary but the journey has begun and there is a renewed flow of energy in anticipation of the adventure.

For those traveling for the holidays be prepared for delays or changes in plans and arrangements. This same energy can cause you to become obsessive over romantic relationships and it is important to find ways to stay balanced and to not pine for the past situations. If you can open and let go of the pattern that has allowed you to stay stuck you have the opportunity to find a valuable and balanced relationship.

Think of your life like a dance that flows in directions that allow you to connect to a higher level and deeper emotions.

In love it is important to not cling to each other but to feel secure within yourself enough that you choose to walk the path together but as equals supporting each other in the amazing unfolding of intimacy and love.

This month can lull you into a dreamlike state but there are always dangers in believing in the shallow veneer of romantic love. True love deepens over time and allows the truth of each person to be expressed. Love is not constricting and limiting. Love is supposed to be generous and supportive.

The burst of new love is always expansive and wonderful. But become aware of when the constriction and fear begins to contract the expansiveness of love into packages that are beautiful but traps none-the-less.

True love is willing to move moment by moment with all the changing flows.

So this month take a look at what you are committed to? Are you committed to love, being right, oppressing others out of fear, or to the truth as you see it?

Just because something is true from your experience does not mean it is true to others from their own experiences. You cannot give anyone your experiences or reference points, no matter how hard we try. If you try to impose what is right for you on others you create disappointment, isolation, and impasses.

As a global community, during the month of darkness, winter, and the diminishing light, remember that we are all united in a goal of peace, prosperity, love, and appreciation of each other’s gifts and abilities. Hold on to the truth of your heart and love. Know that by letting go of our personal history and stories you uncover ways that you could not see when you were egoically needing to be right. The winter is a time of sharing and coming together with loved ones. Appreciate the huge effort everyone is making during this holiday season and open your heart to a new place of generosity and grace.
