Doing More Than Getting By

4/20/2020

Hey there folks, how are each of you doing this fine day? Its been an interesting month thus far, but we're getting on here in the Pacific Northwest. Quarantine's in effect, but there's still a great deal to do despite that & I feel very blessed and equally thankful.

Its this that inspires me to write this day, in fact, as I'd like to see each of you do better than just barely scraping by. If you've got room in your schedule and you feel that you've got room to grow, these sigils can act as encapsulated blessings that then lead towards further goodness & increase there.:

For a wealth of opportunities:

Carve this sigil into a candle and see, in your mind's eye, this sigil and background overlaid onto your ritual. This invokes the pattern etched out by the sigil and ritual work to which this is tied, in effect recreating that pattern in your life. ;)

For improved health:

This sigil can be carved into your Work, but it functions more effectively if its allowed to "breath". Visualize this as you engage in the fourfold breath, and you'll find that the sigil swells and contracts as your rib cage does. This is a part of what makes this magic "work", as its an extension of Ruach, or the animating breath which gives us life & vitality.

For the creation of splendor:

This sigil was a gift from Och, the spirit of the Sun from the Ars Arbatel. It reflects the Light of the Divine reflecting itself in our worlds. While a bit simple at first blush, this one you really need to lose yourself within. Gaze into it and let it inspire you...this might feel a bit strange at first, but its meant to be.

Think of this as a kind of chiropractic adjustment for the soul!

For increased enjoyment:

This sigil focuses on helping you to lose yourself in the things that make you who you are. This understanding of Self is what breeds further enjoyment, so let this inspire you and become a part of who you are.

Its a different way of working with the Flow, but its a powerful thing.

Blessings to you guys and gals! Have a great week!

Moving Forward One Step at a Time

4/6/2020

Hey there guys & gals! I'm back in the office and it has been a very productive day here. I'm so pleased, and I'm very grateful that the move went as well as it did. My spirits have been taking good care of me, and I hope the same can be said for you and yours.

The time spent moving, cleaning, and lifting really gave me some time to think and more importantly, it gave my spirits time to talk to me while I was more or less undistracted. That's a rare treat, and something I took full advantage of. While I did so, some of what came down the vine was this thought: the importance of moving forward one step at a time. That is essentially exactly what I was doing throughout the entirety of this process, no matter how cold, tired, hungry (or hangry) I was at the moment, and in a way that's a reflection of the greater state at play here. That inspired me to write this post!

When we're up against something truly HUGE like a world-scale epidemic, it puts everything into a deeper perspective. We've got no choice but to look at things from a Big Picture vantage point, and that can very often be a bit bewildering. Its also incredibly useful as a teaching tool, as we then come to understand just how small we are in the grand scheme of things. (Note that I use the word "small" not "unimportant" in this context!)

When we are small, our behaviors are small. Our works are small. Our efforts are small....and small things matter. Every single action we take right now has the capacity to be deeply felt by others across the board, and that means that these small little steps start to matter more and more by comparison.

When these small things matter so much, its a very good thing to keep your eyes on the prize, so to speak, and make baby steps towards whatever it is that we seek. My advice to you, knowing this, is to look at your immediate sphere before you and figure out where you can make small, steady progress each day. Find a thing, whatever it is, and work on it daily - the more important it is to you, the better, as each of these little steps will lead towards these massive transformations that you seek. It might not seem all that worthwhile or important now, but hey, its not like you don't have the time.

Even the tiniest of ripples and create waves. ;)
Blessings,
Chris

Act Like Its All Going to Get Better

Hey guys and gals, how are each of you doing? I’ve been hard at work during my move, and it’s been chaos. Productive chaos, but chaos nonetheless, as logistics have been a bit more complicated of late.

Nevertheless, these challenges are being conquered and I am still on track to return to work on April 6th. This move has given me a ton of time to think and converse with my spirits, and they’ve suggested that I talk about mindsets a bit.

I think we can agree that we’ve got a lot going on right now. The crisis has us collectively off our game, and we’re each adjusting to this day by day. This capacity for adaptation is what we humans are known for doing, and so we are playing to our strengths. While we do so and stay indoors and await the virus’ retreat, we have to plan for everything to get better.

Yes, things are pretty difficult and, in some cases, dire, but this too will pass. Our experiences will not always be this way, but that will only be true if we make a point of ensuring that productive change occurs. We do this by planning and acting as though everything will get better in the future. This is a requirement, as we grow through adaptation and overcoming obstacles.

I would recommend honing your skills, rewriting your resumes, and really investing into yourself while your workload is lessened. Make a point of using this time as your own kind of Vision Quest or Spirit Journey so that you can take your life by the reigns when this all blows over!

In short, while you're practicing social distancing and working to get through your days, also work on yourself. Grow from this and apply that growth in such a way that no one can keep you down afterwards! If we're lucky, we'll have survived a pandemic - how's that for a notch on your belt?

Blessings to you all! I’ve got to get back to work unpacking!
-Chris
