Connections June 09

A wonderful and poetic Mantra arrived for me recently….
“I have enough time to do everything, and nothing needs to be done right Now”.
Ah bliss indeed.

I moved house (again) during the end of April, and with it came the work of all that packing, sorting, moving costs, organising, logistics, and then the unpacking, sorting, organising etc. Me and my husband Robbie chose to view all these goings on as positive this time round. We chose to view all the packing and sorting as a cathartic exercise. We chose to put energy into the whole thing slowly and with patience, and we also chose to remove things from our possessions with acceptance and ease.

It really made a huge difference. Yes, we were tired, yes, it was sometimes putting overt pressure on us (especially with two little children and a baby to look after as well) but we just kept doing one or two or three jobs a day with the packing and sorting, and we constantly removed ‘things’ from our place. We were grateful for the opportunity to ‘get sorted’, and we gently embraced the whole experience. We were able to feel the ‘new energy’ entering with the release of old possessions, stored objects and general clutter. We even sold a few things too!
At the new house we had a few ‘teething’ issues as it was a newbuild, but we took that in our stride as well. I think a lot of the ease came from being prepared for things to unfold ‘as they will’, and not as we ‘wanted’ them too. The electrics and water and gas were all fiddly to get put on and sorted out, not like we have ever had to deal with at any other place...but we received help when we stepped back and requested it. I had been taking Rescue Remedy with Walnut (for Transitions and Travelling) well before we started packing, and I do believe this had a positively tremendous effect on how I coped with the move.

We made sure we accepted ‘days off’ and had time with our friends during this moving period too. These pictures were taken by my lovely friend Michelle in her garden on one such ‘time out for us’ days. So lovely to get out and relax at that time of the year as it is a magical ‘cool down’ yet the sun is warm and generous. There are many opportunities to get out and about this Winter so take advantage of the events on offer and make time to enjoy yourself. Even the recent torrential rain has the upside of filling our tanks and dams, but do give a thought, and physical help too if you can, to those affected by the recent flooding along the East Coast.

Have a Beautiful June and mid-year Solstice on June 21-22. Yah-hah-hey!
