Do you ever feel that you’re in a raging storm in your life? With your kids? With your family? Your friends? Or with your work? Or even in your own head?
This week's (August 29 - September 3) energy theme is all about the relief that's possible after working hard to deliver the material and spiritual goods to the family and communities in which you live and serve.
Thunder over water is an intense symbol that depicts a thunderstorm over rain. And when the storm passes, you can relax.
You see, we are relational beings.
We all came from a mother and father and thus we are part of a family, like it or not. The 40th hexagram acknowledges that, while we are fundamentally alone, we are also a part of a whole. This creates a kind of tension.
Many people have a tendency to want to prove their worth by doing for family and friends. Indeed, you may have a tremendous will power to give to others, BUT it has to be in alignment with your inner knowing... AND you have to FEEL the emotional support or material rewards from those receiving your generosity and hard work. Otherwise... you guessed it... you just created a recipe for EXHAUSTION!
Our advice? Prevent and/or recuperate from exhaustion by taking alone time. Make it a habit every day to be alone in your own space, even if it's in the bathroom for 10 minutes! During this time by yourself, connect to your sacred inner space and allow yourself to relax TOTALLY. Give yourself the gift of relaxation after the storm. When you give to your family or co-workers from this space of relaxation, how might that change your interactions with them?
Own the freedom to be unapologetically you. So often the exhaustion comes when you forget yourself and get sucked into proving or being something you are not, for the sake of what you think others need or want you to be.
