Bisbee Retreat - October 2022

How is everyone doing?

I feel like I've been pushed into a classroom, forced to take a look at some things.

Maybe it's no secret that I'm a bit of a driven person. I like to be doing things. I like to "work" on things. I like to get out and explore, to always be on the go. I remember being very young, crying and yelling at my mom when she would suggest I take a nap. How can you be so mean?? I remember thinking - or perhaps I said it out loud? I think she got me and would reframe it as "reading time." That worked.

So now I'm turning my body into a full-fledged COVID-virus fighting machine (how's that for reframing testing COVID positive?) and man, the experience is more protracted than Thea thought it would be...needed to be...should be.

I'm not feeling terrible. I'm just not feeling like "myself" - whatever that means. Yes, I have been thinking a lot about The Illusion.

It's also not lost on me that the thing I left in the labyrinth on that beautiful night in the desert with many of my beloved Circle people was fear. "Oh really," says the Universe. "Very cool, Thea. Let's just make sure we really seal that deal."

So today I'll be quiet, listen to our Healing Pool Meditation, drink a lot of water. Rest. Meditate some more. Journal. Review all I'm grateful for.

I'm grateful for you, this Circle, all the spiritual and metaphysical knowledge and experiences we share.

Okay - back to kicking some COVID butt - in a very relaxing, peaceful, restful way!

Thea
