~ WELCOME ~
~ Introduction ~
Indigenous Elder, Uncle Bob Randall calls it 'kanyini'. He says from kanyini or connectedness to all that is, comes belonging. My name is Helene Collard and I share this philosophy of interconnectedness with you, because I feel it is the key or foundation, if you like, to our collective future. The use of the sacred symbol, the Flower of Life (pictured above), represents kanyini for me - each of us a small flower, within a greater flower - all connected and part of the same whole. So in this space, you are invited to consider, how connected you feel; to your fellow flowers (earth, animals, trees, plants, fellow brothers and sisters, sun, moon, stars, planets...) and how connected you feel to the greater flower (the Universe, or the above elements as a whole...).

~ Mayan Calender ~
Since the last update, we've entered the next moon in the Mayan Lunar Calender...
Moon 9 ~ Solar Moon of the Jaguar ~ March 7-April 3:
During this Moon, focus on ATTAINING your purpose. Consider your options carefully, then ACT with courage. Furthermore, go with options that FEEL right in your heart - now that takes courage, are you up for it? The Jaguar supports you to RECLAIM your POWER, so identify an area or relationship where you can restore the balance of power. The Jaguar lives and acts with intention and so should you during this Moon - try setting an intention every morning, then carry it out! This can be simple like; I'm going to eat healthily today or I'm not going to have a cigarette today - whatever you're comfortable with, whatever you need at this time to help propel you to attaining your purpose. The key is to SET and then ACT on your intentions. This is the Moon of precise action and it also carries a possibility of luck with money.
We've also entered a new 13-day Wavespell in the Mayan Tzolkin Calender...
Blue Eagle Wavespell ~ March 14-April 2
This is the Wavespell of CREATIVITY and VISION. During this time, see things from the Eagle's vantage point, fly high with your mind and SEE THE BIG PICTURE. With this scope of vision, comes creativity. This is a time to express your own creativity - please take that word as laterally as you need ie. you don't need to be a painter to be creative. This is the 19th Wavespell in the Tzolkin and I feel the number 10 (1+9=10) is of significance here. Number 10 equals 'collapse and disintegration leads to a new beginning' - in other words, this Wavespell holds the energy of death and rebirth, so SOMETHING WILL END, to make way for something new.
~ New Moon Pisces & Planets ~
It's best to begin here by remembering a new moon always has the characteristic of a NEW BEGINNING. For those interested in personal (and therefore collective) development and growth, the monthly new moon is a precious gift that directly supports us to set new goals and intentions. The associated sun sign, in this case Pisces and the positioning of the planets, are what provides the unique energetic landscape that characterises each Moon. So read further to gain a sense of how your new beginning can look this month, if you allow the moon, sun, stars and planets to guide you. I've also noted below, where this information, from Western Astrology, compliments and synchronises with the Mayan information discussed above - highlighting the same guidance is coming from two different sources, Western and Indigenous respectively....Nice!
This is the Moon to GO DEEP. Keep it simple - calmly remove yourself from clutter, complexity, chatter and chaos when it feels too much. Don't force anything - if it's taking too much effort to make something happen, leave it for now. Be gentle with yourself - gentle like how you would care for a baby or young child. REST - try CONSCIOUSLY resting for even 10 minutes a day.
Use this Moon to GET STRONGER SPIRITUALLY, in whatever way feels right for you. See the world with spiritual eyes - see beneath the physical to where the Flower of Life energy exists, where all is interconnected and part of the same whole. This is where change flows and is easier to accept. Change has always been inevitable, MAJOR transitions are and will continue to happen. How are you flowing with the changes so far? Expect a rebirth or breakthrough (which ties in with our number 10 energy) and an anchoring in your power (compliments the Jaguar energy).
Get in touch with your DEEP side, engage in deep conversations, meditate, workshop, whatever will take you there. This aids in your understanding of yourself and this knowledge will help you stay balanced and strong while EVERYTHING IS CHANGING and much is unfamiliar. Do this well, so you can provide invaluable aid to those that need extra support to get through the upcoming shifts.
You are assured that all is unfolding as it should. All is in Divine and perfect order. See the bigger picture and begin creating the world from the inside out (synchronises with blue eagle wavespell). Validate your inner knowledge and let that inform the way you act and the decisions you make. For example, while the media has it's place and purpose, reporting styles can strongly influence people's attitudes, especially into ideas and opinions that are based on fear. What happens when we create our world from this perspective of fear?
Expect a suprise, a bolt out of the blue that electrifies your mind and wakes you up to NEW REALITIES - this breakthrough is expansive and enlivening! For example, you may see evidence of social programming breaking down, or you may get a flash of genius. Remember, your reality is up for grabs.
Creative emergence! (reiterates blue eagle wavespell). Act on your passions. The breakthrough mentioned above and your spiritual power are key to aligning with your soul's path. So...pursue your longings. What are you drawn to? What makes you feel alive? Make positive decisions based on the answer to these questions.
Heal and release intergenerational trauma - by this I mean trauma and patterns directly passed on from your family and ancestors. These are the limiting habits, feelings, behaviours and reactions to certain people or situations that come up again and again. It takes a CONSCIOUS DECISION to change in order to shift these sometimes debilitating patterns. I also believe that PROCESSING THROUGH a particular trauma is useful - this involves ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and validating of the trauma, allowing the FEELINGS connected to the trauma to be EXPRESSED and SPEAKING the STORY of the trauma. Creative expression can be a potent and insightful tool when intentionally used to process trauma. Are you ready to release what no longer serves you? Are you prepared to PROCESS your trauma?
With the healing and releasing we do around this Moon, we're asked to be aware of our impact in others, who may also be releasing their own traumas. This reminds me of the self-responsbility mentioned within cultural safety (in the acknowledgements section).
Find an artistic way of expressing what's in your soul and imagination - this brings balance to your Being. This New Moon calls to the inner artist. What do you have to give/share from your unique story.
GET SOLIDLY ANCHORED IN YOUR SPIRITUAL POWER
The brakes are off - MOVE FORWARD into a new project, plan or endeavour. Repeat, this is a forward moving energy, so get going! It is also time to let go of whatever is toxic - habits, foods, people, household cleaning products etc. Expect statements or information that come 'out of the blue' and unusual breakthroughs or lightening bolt ideas.
~ May all live their soul's purpose ~
