In Transition...

PictureFrom The Wildwood Tarot
Since starting my leave of absence in December 2016 I have continued studying, learning and growing in a way that is exponentially enriching my life and professional development. I sat meditating yesterday on the present, past and future of Nectar of Life Counseling thinking, in many ways, how I would write its eulogy. This entity I created in 2011 as I worked with Hummingbird Medicine. The idea that if one were to understand life's sorrows as a lesson along the great wheel one could cultivate joy and abundance without shame.
​
In the meditation I journeyed to the image of a shark crushing a steel cage. A hummingbird floating in the middle jolting gently with each impact from the shark. I imagined myself as the shark, then the hummingbird, the water and lastly the cage--allowing the experience of each to show me the way. I then saw a beautiful six pointed star mandala in vibrant blues, purples and touches of earthly green in the transitional waves of the pattern as it drew me in.


Transition...

The word lingered and my mind recalled a cloaked figure ushered between the graceful wings of a swan carved boat. I hadn't recalled the 6 pointed arrows on the sail, the fullness of the moon and many other pieces of the imagery until I pulled it out from the Wildwood Tarot. I thought on the personal meaning this card offers me and realized being is about transitioning between moments and the exchanges we make with grace and ease. At once it created a sense of impermanence and consistency within me and I knew the answer was simply unknown. As such, Nectar of Life remains - in transition and I will not return to seeing clients at this time.

I am being called to deepen my skills in ancient healing traditions and Jungian analysis--one might say they are one in the same. 
I rejoice in the ability to hone my experience as a person, therapist and intuitive healer through the studies and teachings I am focusing my efforts on at this time. I cannot express the dream it is for me to understand the language of Jung, something I have longed for since I first learned of him in 1999. Or to be in the ecstatic experience of individuation which may very well be the delirious start of the Fool's Journey.

Thank you to all who were on the waitlist, signed up for the newsletter and most of all my former clients. Thank you to the men and women who have participated in the various groups and workshops I created. Thank you for the gifts of depth shared for me to understand the human experience in such a dynamic and multidimensional way. Thank you for trusting me with your truths, I am sincerely honored to have been your Witness briefly along your life's path.

So as to eliminate confusion, I have converted the Nectar of Life website to this Blog called, in the way I have been called by my Guides, of pearls and bone. I have no intention for the future of this site or Blog other than to honor my Soul expressions as a fiercely feminine warrior nurturing inner harmony with a dash of spice, peace and love along the way.

My beautiful,wise friend. How breathtaking to be spectating your journey inward and outward. To watch you breath in all that most of us work to avoid. To observe as you listen to the music of the universe and find your feet--as you begin to twirl and dance. Much love, from my heart to yours.

My Darling, Kendra, you always know how to bring tears to my eyes that are heavy enough to drip from my cheeks, as I can feel the depth of your heart and meaning. Thank you for your beauty and grace, your love and support over our many years, lifetimes and stories.

Kendra is a dear friend from my time in the U.S. Army and is the founder and President of For Goodness Sake (https://www.forgoodnessake.org/) which is "a 100% volunteer-run 501c3 nonprofit that partners with agencies to help people in Central Connecticut who are making the transition to independent living and are in need due to certain life situations."

My Fierce Warrior Soul Sister, I love you and all that you do!!! <3
