As I mentioned in a previous blog post, I was under the influence of Pluto activating my undefined Sacral for the past few years.
I have hanging Gate 3.5 as my personality / conscious Mercury placement.
Last week, when Pluto moved into gate 41.1 "Decrease", I was still activated in the Sacral, and will be until Christmas eve (I consider finally having an undefined Sacral my Christmas gift from the Maia!)
I was still affected by the Root's format energy with Gate 9 connecting with my hanging gate 52, the channel of Focus.
Perfect timing as I was trying to piece together all the parts of my last few years under the spell of Pluto's Mutation. Moving through and around me as my whole world rearranged. (For the better, at least).
Eventually, the Focus channel (9-52) turned off for me in my Sacral, right as Gate 34 (The Power of the Great) became active, connecting to my channel of Awakening (10-20). This Sacral energy is connecting up to my throat, through the pathways of the Integration channels. So surprise, surprise, here I am talking about it ;)
Somewhere in the midst of last week, in the middle of the night, an image that came to me in the dream space.
Of a large, tall man, walking half-naked, barefoot, towards me on one of the more active trails in the forest near my apartment that I frequent often (lately I have been going every day).
Something in me was activated when I saw him, and something in me said, Hey, if he can do it, so can I!
The next day I was barefoot in the forest.
As soon as I got to the same trail that was in my dream the night prior, I had to take off my shoes and try walking barefoot on the ground.
It was an early December morning. The ground was cold, and nearly frozen for winter.
I walked, feeling the mud squished between my toes.
Feeling a rush of joy and glee as I washed my feet in the cold river's stream.
The freshness of the cold and the delight of the elements.
I climbed a hill, barefoot, over the mosses until I found a fallen tree to sit and admire the view. Trees, after trees beneath and surround me, in the forgotten forest of Port Moody, British Columbia.
My channel of Awakening is definitely activated when I am in nature, integrating, and spending time in deep reflection.
The Integration channels are old and ancient. Like the trees and nature's patterns that surround me. Integration for all of humankind has looked this way. And I wouldn't have it any other way.
I would go back, the next day, and the next, taking off my shoes to walk the forest, alone and barefoot.
Taking a break for winter, I vowed I'd be back barefoot in the new year, right before the beginning of Spring. For when the world turns ahead another season, and when there will be much more for integrating again, I am sure.
The world of magic is always turning.
And less than a week after I last went barefoot, a storm came in the night and fallen trees now cover the same section of the trail I had seen in my dream.
Another mystery to ponder. Another feeling to integrate.
As we move forward on the mutation of our own unique destiny.
I'll see you again.
