August 2025: Push-Me-Pull-You
What happens when we enter a month of action while at the same time knowing to move in a slow calculated way, continuing to release that which does not serve us? This month offers a lift in the heaviness of this year of closure, and provides a glimpse of the light and enhanced energy we will be living in as we move forward and evolve.
There is a fine line between gaining our footing again, and also knowing the temporary nature of this year’s events. That seems quite tricky indeed. It is a month that feels conflicted and yet hopeful, finally….
Just like the character from one of my favorite childhood movies called Dr. Doolittle with Rex Harrison, the push-me-pull-you was a two sided animal that seemed always in contrast with the forward movement of half of the animal and the wish to stay back in the past with the other half of the animal. Even as a child, I could understand that conflict. And here we are.
What if we could quiet our bodies with the breath, set an intention with our mind (as in writing to ourselves) and steadily move in the direction of what we do want to see or be? Even if it feels like moving through mud right now. This seems to be the path for this month.
This month’s picture is of an elk that had a stare down with me one evening. He seemed to speak calm to me. And at the same time, he knew he was temporary. Some see him as a nuisance, destroying plants in yards, or a meat source, or a sport…. I saw him as a majestic sage even as I appreciate that he too is temporary… It was an interesting, high level exchange between us that lasted many minutes that is hard to explain unless you would have been here to see it.
On Wednesday the 20th, I will be presenting again at Essential Family Health and Wellness. It is an invitation to work with breath and energy to enhance healing our bodies… Maybe sounds a bit out there, but our bodies are the best rudders of the ship of life, we just need to tap into that knowing… more info: see www.efhwc.com
Have a have an energetic and insightful rest of August,
