I feel like I'm a broken record saying that these times are scary. That we're living through turbulence, uncertainty, upheaval. Every week, every day, more and more is revealed, more and more is shocking. Over and over and over and over again.
And this isn't going to change any time soon. But we are here to meet this moment. I truly believe that.
I truly believe we were born on this Earth, on this time, because we are going to help shape the way forward.
Your big, sensitive, deep, loving heart is here to help humanity choose Love. But because of these exact traits, you might find yourself either over-giving or just too weighed down by your own experience to have the energy to support others.
Both of these states contain a lack of energy. When we're pulled down and in, feeling heavy, a sense of victimization, wallowing, or spinning internally in worst-case-scenario thoughts, our energy stays trapped inside, not able to generate for the world. In this state, we have given up our agency and our creative power.
We also can't be as effective in shaping the way forward if we're over-extending ourselves, martyring ourselves, depleting our energy by over-giving, or cutting off from our joy. Again there is a leaking of our embodied agency and power when we are run ourselves and our energy empty. And honestly, is this the foundation the new way is desiring to be built upon?
This is where Rosemary steps in.
She helps shake us out of limited perspective, opening our eyes, helping us see more clearly. She helps us re-orient to the present moment in new ways, balancing community-mindedness, while also maintaining our resilience and holding boundaries for ourselves.
She helps us focus on what's most alive and important, and weave magic into everything we do.
So my love, if you're feeling dragged down or over-extended by the state of the world, have a listen to what Rosemary shared with us in the latest Plant Wisdom Circle Podcast.
Wander through your neighborhood and find a Rosemary bush to nuzzle up into.
Let her invigorate your blood, your energy, and protect your sensitive heart from the excess noise and chaos.
Soften into her grandmotherly energy, and let her offer you a new perspective on any of your ruminations.
