The natural energy that is predominant for the month of May is Earth energy.
It will be a time in which you can put a focus on self-love and cherishing,
A time during which it is vital to take opportunities for self-care.
After the months of March and April,
Where the predominant energy was change,
This new loving,
Nurturing energy will be a welcome relief.
We're going to share a spiritual practice that will help you align and navigate this energy.
So the Tao teaches that the fundamental law underlying everything in the universe is utterly plain and simple,
No matter how complicated life may appear.
Through an understanding of the energy,
Engaging in a dedicated spiritual practice,
It is possible to align yourself with the natural energy of the Tao.
This alignment creates balance in your life,
Enhances your connection to higher self,
Enhances your connection with others,
Makes it easier for you to live a life of flow,
And you'll just feel happier.
So let's start with understanding the energy of May.
As I mentioned,
The energy of the Tao that is closely aligned with the month of May is Earth energy.
Earth energy represents self-love,
Cherishing.
It's life-giving and it's nourishing.
So here's the story that I wrote about Earth energy.
So isn't the energy of Earth,
The life-giving beauty of our planet,
Incredible?
Somehow it's just too easy to forget that without our planet Earth,
Without Earth energy,
None of us would exist.
Earth energy sustains us,
Provides us with food,
Air,
Water.
Earth energy provides us with opportunities to make the sole choice to have an incarnation on this planet.
And light,
Expanding Earth energy,
Is part of your life on those days when you feel nourished,
When you feel able to nourish others,
When you're able to cherish and feed yourself mentally,
Physically,
Spiritually,
And this allows you to be nourishing to others.
It starts with respecting yourself and feeling worthy of making yourself a priority.
And light,
Expanding Earth energy,
Shows up when you give and receive love easily,
When you effortlessly connect with others,
When you feel that you belong,
All of this happening while you keep your sense of self.
Earth energy provides life.
Earth energy provides transformation.
Earth energy provides opportunities for your soul evolution.
Earth energy helps you understand that you need to take care of yourself first.
Put on your own oxygen mask before helping anyone else.
The trigram of the Tao for Earth energy is three broken lines,
Three yin lines.
Yin energy is receptive,
It is still,
It is tranquil.
So here is the spiritual practice for the month of May.
First of all,
This is the intention.
So we know that an intention is a goal or something to aim for.
Setting an intention gives you direction in life.
Intention is your stated desire to act in a certain way,
To be a certain kind of person.
For the month of May,
Our intention is this.
So why don't we state this quietly and together?
My intention is to live in the energy of Earth,
To live as a nourishing and nourished person who keeps a sense of self in relationship.
One more time together,
The intention for May for Earth energy.
My intention is to live in the energy of Earth,
To live as a nourishing and nourished person who keeps a sense of self in relationship.
The second part of our spiritual practice for the month of May is a breath prayer.
A breath prayer is a wonderful way to bring yourself to the moment,
To the now.
It says,
Teachers,
That you cannot create your life from the past nor from the future.
You can only create your life from the moment.
Finding your way to happiness can only be done from now.
And a breath prayer is a quick and efficient way to bring yourself to this moment.
This part of our spiritual practice for the month of May,
I'd like you to close your eyes gently.
Just feel your scalp and your forehead soften.
Eyelids are gently resting.
Gonna breathe in and breathe out at your own pace.
Quietly while you're breathing,
Put your focus and your attention on the top of your head.
We're going to quietly together state the affirmation for May,
For Earth energy.
So together,
I know who I am.
I am important and significant.
I choose to feel valued.
Do another lovely breath in.
Let it go at your own pace.
And let's once more do the affirmation for Earth energy together.
I know who I am.
I am important and significant.
And I do choose to feel valued.
Another lovely breath in.
Breathe out.
And this is the breath prayer for Earth energy.
State along with me.
I reprogram myself towards the energy of Earth.
I breathe in worthiness.
I breathe out unworthiness.
I breathe in nourishment.
I breathe out sacrifice.
Another lovely breath in.
Let it go at your own pace.
And let's state the reprogramming breath prayer for Earth energy together one more time.
I reprogram myself towards the energy of Earth.
I breathe in worthiness.
I breathe out unworthiness.
I breathe in nourishment.
I breathe out sacrifice.
Just continuing with our lovely soft breathing.
Let's say a quiet thank you for who you are.
Exactly as you are.
You are enough.
In this quiet contemplative state,
I'd like to pose some contemplative questions to you.
Get answers from your higher self,
From your wisdom.
Question number one.
Is it as easy for you to nourish yourself as it is to nourish others?
Why is that?
Question number two.
What might change in your life if you did put on your own oxygen mask first?
Question number three.
How would your life feel if you did give and receive love easily?
If you did effortlessly connect with others and feel a deep sense of belonging?
And the final contemplation question for Earth energy.
What could you allow into your life to experience more of this amazing energy of Earth?
What could you allow in for yourself?
What could you allow in for others?
To round off our spiritual practice for the month of May,
There are things that you can do,
Action that you can take to bring Earth energy,
The profound teachings of the Tao into your life.
In the month of May,
Make a choice to connect with others by allowing them to nourish you and by nourishing them.
In the month of May,
Balance your life by focusing on your self-love and who you are.
In the month of May,
Find flow and non-resistance by consciously choosing not to be so hard on yourself,
Making a choice not to be oversensitive to perceived criticism.
And that is the spiritual practice for the month of May.
That is the way that you can align yourself with the predominant energy that is on our planet that month.
This will be a month of self-love,
A month of cherishing,
A month in which it is vital to take opportunities for self-care.
So with that,
From me,
Dr.
Debra.
