Guidance for May - 5
When we invite in transformation, there is no going back.
(…) To stand right here needs strong nerves. It means to have the ability to hold everything in a relaxed way and to stand in our own center.
The wheel of the year keeps turning, constant and steady. We arrive in the fifth month and are ultimately at the threshold of the warm season. The life force, the growth, reaches its peak. Thus, in the northern hemisphere, this month is the most transformative time of the year.
Nature teaches us to join in. The impulse of opening has already sunk deeper into our heart - and now? What wants to be finally born from the cocoon? Who are you now? What do you want to transform and what does it even mean? When we invite in transformation, there is no going back. Maybe you have already made a decision for yourself but don't know what will come out in the end? Or where exactly the path goes? Stay on the threshold and feel deep within you this all-important moment. The more aware we are of transitions in life, the more transformation that really and truly changes us can happen. To stand right here needs strong nerves. It means to have the ability to hold everything in a relaxed way and to stand in our own center.
The 5 does neither belong to the higher nor to the lower numbers. It is the center. It connects above and below, bringing together what seems paradoxical and yet inseparable. What feels paradoxical in your life? Allow an encounter in the Here and Now. Who were you yesterday and who will you be? As human beings we unite the paradox par excellence. The paradox that lies here cannot be resolved, even if our mind would like to do so. Dark or light? Inside or outside? Male or female? The fact is, we are always inside and outside, dark and light and can only learn to live in the heart of our paradoxical existence. Walking this middle path, alive, vibrating with a strong nervous system, so that we see both sides leads us to ourselves even if we do not know where the path will bring us.
Our identity lies where we unite our opposites and step out of inner struggle. Focusing on the path brings us to where we belong and allows us to put the control in the much bigger hands of the Divine. In this process, an alchemy that our mind does not comprehend happens, because it is born of a matter of the heart. It is an alchemy that merges and marries our opposites.
What if you would marry yourself with all your polarities to become a little more whole, a little more complete?
Transform yourself to your Self. In ancient times, the Beltane festival was celebrated in the month of May in Celtic regions. A fertility festival celebrating the awakening of the human body and the sacred union of female and male. The air is pregnant with this fertility and nature explodes. Something becomes finer and more magical. Allow transformation in. Call it into your body and simply stay - at this threshold. Your body is your bridge - your bridge to the world, to your aliveness and to your spiritual beingness.
Celebrate and nurture your body in this month through movement and food. Make love - to your Self, to your Beloved(s) and to nature. Become aware how everything moves through your body and that is the place where real and deep transformation can and will happen.

Suggestion for the month
~ Use your voice to vibrate yourself in your body. Where in your body do you feel yourself the least? Use your own sound to create a connection and feel yourself. Your voice connects you within you.
~ Be true to who you are! What can be spoken out in your relationships in order to stand by yourself even more authentically and truthfully in this moment?
~ True expression is related to the fifth chakra, to the throat. This meditation can help you to heal your expression to become more truthful:
