Spring is rolling in! What’s it looking like where you are? Tulips? Daffodils? New buds?
Spring always feels exciting to me. Well, all the seasons do, actually…
And when there’s SO much activity, new growth, and re-awakening happening everywhere I look, it’s hard not to feel excited about my own projects and growth, too.
So how do we align this energy with our own inner truth?
One way is by doing an inspiration check.
What the heck is that!?!
First, let’s quickly define intuition.
Do you have a go-to strategy when you find it hard to concentrate and your brain feels fuzzy?
Or when you can’t seem to figure out what to do next? What direction to move towards?
When I’m in that place, it sometimes feels like I’m spinning in circles, directionless and blind to possibility.
However, when I REMEMBER to use this tool (!), a breathing exercise, it can really make a difference.
Why?
Thanks for taking this journey with me through the seven veils of ego! We are at the final one!
Ready?
Here it is: Wisdom of the Wrathful Person
This one is about anger.
And just like all of the rest of the veils of the ego, there are ways anger (and lust, and gluttony and slothfulness…) can be useful, can be used to right wrongs, to fuel action, to face injustices.
That’s when we use anger in a pro-active, loving way.
Being on this journey can definitely feel challenging and I am SO appreciative that you are here willing to keep opening to the light and the love that is the essence of you.
Ready to keep going with the 7 powers of the ego?
So far, we have explored: darkness, desire, ignorance and zeal for death.
Today we’re diving into the realm of the flesh (whatever that means) and the foolish wisdom of the flesh. Here goes…
How was your exploration into darkness and desire? Illuminating? I hope so.
As Robert Holden often says, “emotional honesty boosts spiritual clarity.”
The hardest and perhaps best way we can be emotionally honest is when we’re willing to explore aspects of our shadow. And these ego veils can certainly shed light.
The next two that we’ll explore are: ignorance and zeal for death.
Here goes!
