 Part of the transition from October to November includes passing through the time of the year when the veils between this world and the realm of "death" - recognized in our observances of Halloween, All Soul's Day, Dia de los Muertos - are frighteningly thin. Though the traditions can be light and lively celebrations, our intuitive selves may sense things that feel slightly "darker." This year, you may have been feeling particularly "heavy" and wondered about what was going on.
We not only crossed an annual threshold, we are collectively clearing much of our own "darkness' and allowing those parts of ourselves that are not in alignment to "die." As such, the thinner veils can make our sensing of "death" and "darkness" feel hauntingly raw. As structures collapse and forms fade to nothingness, new patterns have been taking shape for a very long time within us. Between the energetic, astrological, collective and soul impulses, we are at a pivotal time in our world where we can make incredible choices and quantum leaps. Thus it is imperative, in my humble opinion, that we do so! And NOW!

 As "time speeds up" we will continue to feel rushed and "behind." Remember, it is just an illusion.
In our efforts to keep up and get "enough" done in a 24-hour period, many of us have been tempted to carve out extra hours by reducing the amount of time we spend sleeping. As a result, we feel tired, more stressed and can even start to feel depressed. I have often described our growth into higher beings similar to that of a newborn. Our human-spiritual selves are shifting and expanding so quickly, we are utilizing a significant amount of energy. Just as babies spend much of their time sleeping because of their rapid growth, we will often find ourselves barely functional from exhaustion. Whether you add extra hours to either end of your nighttime slumber, or take a catnap (or two) during the day, make it a priority to get enough sleep. And, this doesn't mean "just enough" to get by; it means getting more than enough! Years ago, I remember Deepak Chopra stating that it was optimal to go to sleep by 10:00 pm and sleep until at least 6:00 am. Though not always successful, this is my striving (I prefer 7:00 am, if possible!). I found additional sleep tips on The Chopra Center website: How to Get Restful Sleep |
