One of the first things I teach is the power of your yes and your no. 

Often not even what we answer to others, but the yes and no we answer yourself. Are you clear and honest with yourself? Our you loyal to your heart and intuition? How do you feel when you are? And how do you feel when you are not?

Our yes and no are powerful tools to discover our patterns and to make a choice to respond differently to them. 

We often think that the big choices in our life (the job, the house, the partner) form our lives, but actually what we say yes and no to in the relationship with self, has an effect on everything, this is what builds our world. 

So now we come to a place where we are invited to say yes to a kind of safety built on fear and war. We are invited back into very old, fixed patterns. So how will we respond? How loyal will we be to our heart and to our intuition?

If you are one of my longtime followers, you know there has been a time where I sat at the stream almost daily. I shared little films of the stream and many people loved them. Not just for the calmness of the image, but for what sitting by the streams means: 

Showing up. Deep listening. Taking time. Learning from what has no words. Honouring the small, the subtle, the simple.

Sitting by the stream is as old as humans are. Just as drinking from the well. Watching the sunrise. Picking the cherries. Digging up the roots. Staring into the fire. Peeing on the grass.

This is our most natural and first connection to Earth. Everything else comes from this: Our deepest, honest, loving relationship with our natural essence. And from there, with the world. 

As the human world goes through its next powerful initiation, the question rises: how will we respond to these old patterns? What will we be saying yes to, and what will we be saying no to?

Will we be able to hear clearly through the noise that is being made? Will we be able to not be distracted and listen? And then, will we be brave enough from the heart to tell what we hear? To bring that into the world.
