A sacred space for everyone
AniWangmo 10/25/2017 for Wednesday by Jampal & Wangmo
Theme: Productive argumentation!
Your may not see eye to eye today with your fellow travelers. Perhaps arm wrestling would help you work your differences out. It is okay to put your point of view as long as you can really hear the other person’s point of view. On the flip side of the coin there is potential for growth and learning today. There is always a way out of a difficult situation. As Spock said in Star Trek There are always alternatives.

Theme: How to look on the bright side.
There is a famous Scottish saying “It is darkest before the dawn.” Or as Dad’s friend said, “It’s always darkest when its getting darker than it has ever been before.” A challenge today is variation on a theme this week which is about working productively within limitations and dealing with frustration. Are you able to harness the feeling of having no room to move by moving something you can.? As the Serenity Prayer goes, Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference.

Theme: Empowering oneself.
Happy Birthday Scorpios – the Sun has entered your sign – now is your time to shine! Welcome to a new year and an opportunity to leave the past behind you and step into the empowering present. Although Scorpio Marie Antoinette did say There is nothing new except what has been forgotten. Today emotional sensitivity is heightened. It’s easier today to cast yourself as a victim – but there is much more reward in taking responsibility to transform the energy. There is an opportunity for a beneficial connection today.

Theme: The great outdoors.
With the moon entering Sagittarius it’s a great time to get out doors during the change of seasons. You can dress up or dress down depending on the hemisphere you live in. Exercise could help you exorcise any challenging emotions. What’s your preferred outdoor exercise? Watching butterflies, yoga, martial arts or frisbee? The sky’s the limit. As Tuck Burnam says, make sure the wind behind you is your own.

Theme: Intensity and transforming passion.
A new intensity and energy is around today enabling access to a deeper perspective of the world. Sometimes diving deep is needed for the changes you wish to make. You never know if you don’t go there. It’s not a half-way day to day. Passion can be gainfully employed in deeper conversations about the meaning of life and what matters. As Maya Angelou said: My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, come compassion, some humor, and some style.

Theme: Trust your intuition for a change
It’s a great time to start new projects but the theme of disruptive yang energy continues. It’s also a day for getting in tune with your spirituality and ways that it can nourish you. There is an opportunity to communicate on a larger scale but be mindful of thinking before you launch your idea. You don’t want to win a ‘foot-in-the-mouth’ award today!

Theme: Unpredictable predictability!
Learning how to productively deal with disruption is the theme today. There could be sudden flare ups with both men and women challenging your emotional stability and a sense of who you are. The art of dealing with sudden disruptions is recognizing that this too will pass, knowing what’s possible and not buying into a fixed idea of reality. We’re all caught up in our own sense of what’s real. As Pema Chodron writes: Impermanence is the goodness of reality.

Theme: Diplomacy and letting go!
Today if you’re in one of those epic battles with someone – step back for a moment and notice how deeply your habits are ingrained. Letting go of old habits is not easy – but the noticing them is a step in the right direction. Think deep and act carefully. A few words carefully chosen are better than too many today. You could receive some favorable correspondence today. As Thich Nhat Hanh has said: The truth must be presented in ways that others can accept.

Theme: Addressing conflicts
Be en garde for pent-up frustrations and expressions of anger today. Some people have a short-fuse. Wise and well-chosen words can be extremely helpful in defusing situations. Sometimes harm can be caused by focusing too much on other peoples failures and faults rather than our own. If your’re into non-verbal communication consider a calming drink of chamomille tea. Have a thought for those beset by anger. As Shantideva offers: Those tormented by the pain of anger never know tranquility of mind.

Theme: Intuition and contemplation
Intuition in its highest form is a connection with the heart. Follow your heart today but don’t throw it away! Always follow-up hunches with in-depth research to confirm your feelings. The results could be good with due diligence. It’s a good day to pursue spiritual matters. If you’re a meditator meditate, if you’re a contemplater contemplate and if you’re a reader read an insightful book! As Shantideva has written: Penetrative insight joined with calm abiding utterly eradicates afflicted states.
