Sometimes A Desk Is Not Just A Desk

Someone’s coming in a couple of hours to pick up my big old desk that I advertised for sale on Craigslist a few days ago. I’m actually feeling kind of anxious in my belly, because it’s not just about changing desks. It’s about huge shifts that are happening in my life right now. I realize the desk is very apt metaphor, and that desk has been a very strong anchor for me for years, given how much time I have spent at it.

 
I found a beautiful new desk online and ordered it several weeks ago. It arrived and it has been in the box waiting for space to be made for it to be put in place. In the meantime, I have been experiencing major inner and outer energetic, personal and spiritual shifts. It’s astonishing, although you’d think I’d be used to it by now since these kinds of shifts cycle through periodically. But trust me, this one’s BIG! First was the Full Blood Moon and the full eclipse that came with it. And then right on the heels of that, Mercury retrograde began. It started for me a period of deep change in my work, in my life, and in my recognition of my deepest essence as a healer.

 
I sent an email out to my list just a few days ago announcing the changes that I was experiencing and how it would affect the ways in which I was now available to work with them. The energies and the messages I was getting had insisted that I drop many of the things that I was doing work-wise and concentrate my focus on doing the deepest work which is always been my passion, of helping women to heal trauma, and grief, and then be able to move more easily into truly thriving in their lives and their businesses. It absolutely thrilled me to get this message; it was so affirming of who I really am and always have been. And the announcement was very well received by my tribe.

 
As part of the shifting energies, I found myself listening to a 90 second video that spurred me to investigate the shamanic meanings and connections of the waters, and the mountain, and for me the stones, of my birthplace in West Texas. Diving into that research was one of the most exciting things I’ve done in a long time. The synchronicities stunned me. I kept “stumbling onto” one thing after another that was exciting, affirming, validating and truly beautiful about the history, the prehistory, the geology, the topography, the rivers, the land, the crystals, it just kept on going…… And in the end, the intense connection I have always felt to the place of my birth although I left there at the age of three months, was deepened and rendered extremely meaningful to me right now in my life as an intuitive healer and shamanic counselor and advisor.

 
I have begun to write a book about women’s innate shamanic nature, and I am preparing to offer workshops around that topic, and I’m writing almost every day, blog posts, articles, emails to stay in touch with my tribe of amazing, beautiful, creative, powerful women. Something has opened on the inside and the outside of my life and my self and it’s exciting because it’s totally me, maybe more me than I have ever been.

 
And so as I emptied my old desk this morning, preparing it to be claimed by its new owner, I was deeply aware of the letting go that is required to allow these new energies to bring me and anchor me into a new place of being, and living, and working. I didn’t take the time to sift through the stuff I took out of the desk, I just ‘contained’ it for future sifting. I let it go.

 

The new desk is beautiful, much more feminine and fit-for-a-goddess than the old one, and I’m very much looking forward to sitting at it and enjoying the experience. But more than anything, I appreciate the metaphor that these material objects represent for me in my life right now. And the timing couldn’t be more perfect. It seems that’s always the way!

 

What energetic shifts have you been experiencing lately? Have you found the energy reflected in material changes, as I have? How has that been for you?
