What images are asking to be composted in your life?

Living fully a l i v e  asks that we are willing to sacrifice (shred, recycle, compost) images of ourselves and versions of our future we have held onto, often, so very tightly and for the longest time, to allow those that truly carry  Z o e ; life force, libido, Shakti energy, to emerge.

If the last couple of years has taught me anything, this is it.

At powerful junctures on our life journey, often marked and activated by larger cosmic movements, we are invited to lay down images, fantasies, of ourselves and our futures that do not belong with us anymore.

Both our own and those we have inherited.

Those that have been kept in place out of habit,
out of the fear of missing out or deviating from a given path.
Those that create more pressure than pleasure.
Those that don’t bring us joy anymore,
don’t spark real desire and excitement,
but still raise the question: “if not that…what?”

It is a scary, often painful, process. And a necessary one.

Because only by shedding the images that are not truly alive anymore can new ones emerge -those that brim with energy and passion…
Those that light us up, turn us on, bring us (back) to Life.

Even when they look nothing like what we thought they would.
Even when they feel nothing like the self that we are familiar with -nothing like “us”.
Even when they scare the sh*t out of us -especially then.

A whole lot of honesty is required.
A whole lot of courage.
A lot of support -we are not meant to cross such great thresholds alone.
And a different kind of narrative; one that doesn’t see this process as proof of “failure” but as a commitment to staying alive, while we are still living.

From a certain angle, it feels like my entire life has been about the shredding of “expired” images, to say yes to what was truly alive in the moment -again and again and again.

The last couple years, marked by my nodal return in the Taurus-Scorpio axis initiating my midlife journey, have been the absolute peak -so far!

Today, I’m writing these lines as we are deep in preparation mode for our move out of our Glastonbury home, after 5 years of rooting down in this place like we have never done anywhere else before…

A few hours ago, an agent visited to take pictures of the house (a different kind of images) and put it on the market. As she commented on how homely and warm the space felt, I heard my heart whispering, “well..it has been our home”. Next week, we have first viewings, and in early December, we officially move out.

Scary. Painful. Necessary.

And, as we’re pulling our roots out of this sacred ground, my dreams bring me symbols of life, returning.

As we allow one version of reality to dissolve, slowly and ever so subtly a new one begins to get woven.

On this powerful, final eclipse in the sign of Taurus, bringing the last 2-year cycle to a completion, what is asking to be composted in your life?

What visions, dreams, desires have run their course, and now need to be surrendered to the earth, to become fertile soil for the blossoming of your aliveness?

I would love to hear.

And if your life is catalysing this composting process and you would like some support in the re-imagining of you, this is the work I offer in Soul-Making sessions. 
It would be a joy and an honour to journey with you.
