To the Direction of the South,

 

"A Sign of Changes"

So to continue a personal journey of healing which by the way is never done till you leave this earth.  The wandering journey of  understanding and meaning of your own life.  

I have been working with the Medicine Wheel as a guide.  I'm now ready to make myself aware of the South direction. This process starts with the West and works it's away around to the South. The South direction is one of our Childhood, Summer, color is Yellow and the element is Fire. 

As I journey around I took my pain to the west, believing in a healing process, ready to step into the pain I did.  In the North I set new goals and asked for helps from elders past, and present to help me see my way.  And with the East I have been able to bring back love in my heart.   The next steps is the South, this direction can be a bit tricky. 

I'm starting out with all my own knowledge and wisdom from this experience and there is new intention with my life on many levels. The word this whole year has been transform and boy has that happened for us all. There's been a beauty with this that I can only describe as RAW....Real, Awesome and Whole for me personally.

So beginning  with new intention at this point with the rest of the year and next with the help of my spiritual energy, the Greater Spirit,  elders, mentors and spirit animals, which we can still ask for assistance. The question is< what are you intending to put out in the world?  The old self at the beginning of the year has been transformed.  Though the old ways may and will grab my attention and influence me to fall back.  It's a given.  

The way to look at this is, if a bad day or situation hits I can take this as an opportunity and place to start in the West. I can pull myself back into place asking and continue on with the healing process.   The grace of being able to begin again.  It's a back up plan of continual leaning I guess you could say. 

Though with the process the south provides us to stand in healing and make choices that result in change. Old wounds solidify when we take action in the direction of the goal we made in the North. 

To have a mind thought of being an adolescent and the world is so big, tempting and we are so vulnerable to revert to old patterns.  If I think back there was a freedom I wanted to taste and explore but I had not had the experience, most choices were not thought out in a way that it should have been.  Taking risk, expanding experiences but there is a time when we start to seen the same consequences of our behavior again and again that we have become stuck in our own insanity.  We would think this to be easy but this is an ongoing new intention. Step out of the Muck...stay unstuck! 

The south is a direction of warmth, fire and summer. There seem to be a new awareness and some comfortableness that I have, a little cautiousness in me.   The shift of the healing process, a new vitality, feeling like a new life is unfolding and a new inner strength created. It holds us stable, we see it's time to have some funny and play, along with good hardy laughter makes for a well rounded life of fulfillment that we can get lacks on.  We want to solidify the change we have been striving for and not repeat the cycle of old habits and behaviors.  

Sounds so serious right....way to much work.  But calling on the Wolf Spirit now to help us make respectful decisions.   Helping us be supportive in our communities.  The awareness though for the call to Coyote spirit verses Wolf, the trickster energy causes trouble.  

The choice becomes yours in the South.  Here is where the Medicine Wheel comes full circle.  Are you going to solidify change with new healthy habits and behaviors and ascend into a happier life or cycle back around in the same manner as in your past?  

I have heard, know that you know differently it's hard to go back to what you knew.  

My experience of my thinking has been the biggest change and when working with relationships I want more love there.  I know it has been clouded by such hurt it came out in ways I have not been to proud of.  So desperately wanting change to happen so long ago, the process had to start and be about transforming my thoughts.  

I was able to do start this South direction in a prayerful way of smudging and drumming yesterday Morning.  There is silence in the house now and it's finding it's way natural to the early morning hours.  Change is a constant in our lives and we are given the freedom of choice.  To be Right or to be Happy.  

Being Happy isn't always easy but it so worth it.  

Back to the Question: What will your intention be to the world? It's like making a promise to the Universe.....I will hold this goal, intention and promise close to my heart.
