Universal Themes for June 2016: Play & Laughter
This month brings more opportunities for play!
This may sound counter-intuitive, but play is really not optional especially if life is stressful. One of the things that life’s cycles teaches us is that when life gets extra stressful, we need to slow down, see what is working, feel the gratitude, and laugh whenever we can. This is not avoidance; it’s good medicine.
The astrology of this time has some shadowy elements percolating to the surface allowing us to review who we are, who we want to be, and how we are interacting with all parts of ourselves and others.
With a New Moon on Saturday in Gemini conjunct Venus, we are given a beautiful opportunity to ‘Be Curious’ about Love. By all the accounts that I have read and researched, there is a lot to celebrate with this New Moon, and I am ready.
The Universal energy of this month is a ‘15’ and it really can feel ‘be-deviling’ at times. As I see it, the keys to navigating June are:
- Connect with Love – remembering it’s an art AND it’s a practice!
- Renew Your Commitment to Pleasure – important to create those yummy good endorphins to counteract any stress hormones!
- Celebrate Your Successes – some days it might be easier to focus on what is ‘wrong’ but our energy is better spent on what is ‘right’.
- Embrace Your Center – remembering who you are from the inside out (not allowing external circumstances to push us off course).
- Cultivate Your Vitality – what activities or people feel delicious? Allow the energy created to circulate through your body, nourish your cells, and enliven your body!
- LAUGH! Seriously, take the reigns and find ways to generate a good belly laugh – honor those in your life who are catalysts to laughter and play – and have some fun!
Cultivating Sexuality, Life Force & Aliveness are important this month (pretty much every month). Whether you have a spiritual-body practice (yoga, qi gong, Sensuous Wisdom™, etc) or not, you know what helps you feel more alive, more vital, more engaged. If you are searching for new ways to feel ‘better’ and ‘healthier’, you have a plethora of options!
To help you connect more deeply with your ‘play factor’, here are some questions to consider:
- When do you feel most playful?
- Where do you want to play?
- With whom do you want to play?
- If you set up one play date with yourself each week, what would you want to do? (your list can be as long as you want!)
To help you connect with more vitality:
- How do you nurture your life force?
- What activities bring you the most joy – the kind you can feel in your body?
- When do you feel the best during the day?
- What foods help you feel good (not just a quick burst of energy but sustainable energy)?
- What is one new thing you are interested in doing that sounds fun and life-enhancing?
