IMBOLC: THE COURAGE TO BE SEEN
As we cross over the threshold of Imbolc, with a full moon in Leo, I feel a particular kind of energy landing – one that feels both powerful and gentle.
Imbolc marks the first turning point of the year. Not the loud arrival of spring but the stirring of something more subtle just beneath the surface, like a flame that has been quietly burning, waiting for the right moment to LIGHT UP!
At the same time, this full moon in Leo brings a different quality – a call toward visibility, heart, creative expression, and the courage to be seen as we truly are.
There is a tension between these two energies asking for our attention. Between safety and expression.
On Friday night, I went to a conscious dance space facilitated by my dear friend Sophie Bolton. I opened the evening with a prayer, inviting the presence and guidance of the angels. What followed felt profoundly blessed – a deep sense of connection to myself, to each person there, and to all the love and support that surrounds us in every moment, simply by bringing my truth and allowing myself to be seen in a way that was unguarded and honest.
This was such a beautiful reminder of what we are being invited into at this time – and that is ever deeper CONNECTION. Connection to ourselves, to others, and to life itself. And when we allow ourselves to be seen in our truth, without performance or perfection, life rises up to meet us, in the most profound and unexpected ways.
Whether through food, the body, stillness or shared space, the invitation is always the same - to come home, and to allow what is true to be seen. Not from a place of lack, vulnerability or insignificance, but from a place of TRUTH and a desire to exist fully and visibly in the world.
One of the reasons why I LOVE working with food is because it is such a powerful mirror, although often confronting, of where exactly we are still hiding, controlling, soothing or protecting. Often this shows up in HOW we eat – restricting, over-nurturing, rushing or disconnecting. But it is also a place where RECONNECTION can begin.
Food is a doorway to healing at the deepest of levels, if only we are willing to look.
And so, as we cross over this threshold of Imbolc, I invite you to reconnect with the flame that burns bright within you, and to let it be felt in your body, your choices, your relationships, and your nourishment.
Can you bring all of you to the world to be seen, enjoyed, and celebrated, not just for you, but for us ALL!
Wishing you much love, health & happiness,
Rebecca
