2020 is a Leap Year, which means we add an extra day to the month of February.
Women Propose to Their Men
According to an old Irish legend, or possibly history, St Brigid struck a deal with St Patrick to allow women to propose to men – and not just the other way around – every four years. This is believed to have been introduced to balance the traditional roles of men and women in a similar way to how Leap Year balances the calendar.
Not to ignore the role of women in the world, (my Instagram feed is dedicated to tools for women’s empowerment during the entire month of March) , however I do want to throw out the idea of taking an extra day for ourselves.
What would you do if you had an extra day each month dedicated just for you? Would you catch up on your reading? Hit the art galleries? Bing watch Netflix or amazon? Walk on the beach? Make a date with an old friend for lunch? Take a class? Treat yourself to a massage or reflexology? Or, just chill and see what you feel like doing in the moment?
As we move into the energy of Pisces it is crucial to take care of yourself and create a daily ritual that will support you moving into this volatile year. How you show up in the face of chaos is important to your health and well -being.
Release Negativity in Your Morning Shower (excerpt from The Joy of Ritual)
Approach your shower or bath as an opportunity to let go of worries, concerns and fears. If you don’t have time for a shower, do this while washing your face.
Imagine that the running water gathers all the stress residue from the pores of your body. Allow the water to wash away all the emotionally, mental and physical stress that you are holding on to consciously or unconsciously.
Say, “I now release anything I have created or have taken on from others that is anything less that prosperity, joy and love. Today I claim a miracle ( add anything you desire after this. For example “I claim a financial miracle”, I claim a healing miracle”)
To add to this ritual, I recommend you use Protect and Ground Aromatherapy Sprays.
