The Arrow and the Bowl

Taking Aim Change is inevitable, celebration is optional.  (But whom among us would deny a celebration?)

On July 7th Vestal Transitions will celebrate an important anniversary:  one year in business!  And, as with all children, this first year after birth has been a time of milestones, development and important growth.

To celebrate, we--for now I have partners here, a whole lovely net of supportive souls--will be unveiling the new Vestal U, Moon Divas Courses refined and redesigned for certification or personal edification both, offering special promotions, freebies and opportunities galore.  The full invite and announcement will be up on the Summer Solstice, June 21, 2013!  We'd love to have you join us, personally, virtually as the journey unfolds. Letting Go  In the past and next few weeks I'm a bit underground with business-y class-y things, but I'll try to keep things tidy on the site with updates.  

I've been thinking a lot about the energetics of accomplishment, of doing.   In my last post I talked about respite, and this is where I'm still puzzling:  how to keep an attitude of receptivity and ease even in the midst of action.

Professionally, I tend toward the arrow as a metaphor:  The power of the bow drawn taut, a limited supply of shots in my imaginary quiver.  But recently, I've been meditating on the bowl.  If the arrow is tight action, tension, stress incarnate, the bowl is being, opening, catching, flow.  

In the realms of transition and self-care, one is easier than the other, and both are attitudes that can be adjusted as needs arise.

Culturally, we are taught that the arrow--focused intention, effort and strain--is superior energy for achievement.  But maybe you would like to experiment with me over the next few weeks.  What happens when you breathe and relax everywhere, how is your time directed, what blessings can you receive? Being, Receiving A mantra for the week:

"I am open and receptive to the abundance of the universe."

Here's to meeting in the flow...what are you opening to?
