Astrid is always on top of keeping me abreast of what’s important and she does it by embodying that example. I found her centered atop her castle tower between the crystal-gridded corners, with one paw outstretched between the quartz and heart-carved lake stone. Both of these creating a balanced flow of energy she can draw upon.

She’s well aware that energies out there in the world are topsy-turvy and so she anchors herself solidly, using the tools she has to keep grounded, centered, resilient, and at peace.

When there seems like nothing you can do about the external, she reminds us that we can do everything about the internal.

What’s essential and important is to stabilize yourself, connect your root with Earth’s core, and find ways to sink more deeply into your body so that you can create greater equilibrium and strength from the inside out.

Rabbits can easily have their physical bodies and health thrown off balance by the slightest stresses or lack of attention to well being.

In many ways, so can we, although we might be able to endure things longer before they erupt.

That doesn’t necessarily make us stronger.

It may just mean that rabbits have less tolerance for habitual patterns that are out of alignment.

Whatever is key to your well being, peace of mind, joy, purposeful passion, and ability to give and receive gifts to and from the world, tend to that.

These make you a better advocate toward the changes you want to see.

Review the vital elements that are ingredients for your version of fulfillment and success and anchor these with solid heart and soul commitment and conviction. Merge the feelings around these with the actions that bring them forth. Imagine yourself as if you already are these things and feel where in your body, parts of you don’t believe or are holding you back for one reason or another.

Ask Earth to help you see clearly and to make the most beneficial shifts.

You can draw upon Earth’s support and strength, envisioning her supportive energy flowing up through your feet, helping to clear and release old patterns, and infusing you with a solid new foundation to build upon.

Astrid’s message for the week is simple.

Anchor what’s vital, as these are the fundamental ingredients to creating a new personal and collective experience.
