‘Don’t turn your head. Keep looking at the ban $‘Don’t turn your head. Keep looking at the bandaged place. That’s where the light enters you. And don’t believe for a moment that you’re healing yourself.’ Rumi The beautiful wise Elder is the 15th ogham tree representing change, connecting to the mysteries and transformation at the deepest level. She reminds us of the eternal cycles of life and death, birth and rebirth. There are beginnings in endings, particularly when the ego restrictive patterns and stories are gently released creating space for the new to naturally emerge. The elder helps us trust the unknown! Chiron has gone retrograde confronting us with unresolved trauma that needs tending. Tara Brach talks about healing the wounds of severed belonging. Chiron the centaur the “wounded healer’ was abandoned at birth but transmuted his pain of rejection and abandonment into powerful portals of healing, by shining the light and giving to others. (Sadly he was ultimately unable to heal himself from an arrow wound and chose death) The elder confronts our ideas about death and ageing and challenges our notions of sacrifice and forgiveness. We can ask the ancestors for help to access the treasure in our wounds - the challenge is to acknowledge and accept them in an intimate way that allows us to access any wisdom, without trying to fix us or others. It is sometimes not easy for these fractured parts to be aligned and takes patience, tenderness and time - recently I have really noticed the pattern in me of abandoning myself in order to try to avoid conflict. I made a healing mandala for the beautiful wise elder with healing plants honeysuckle, lavender and alchemilla . Queen among them is self heal, the flower of magic and resilience. Purple is associated with spiritual growth and focusing on the wonder of small precious things always helps me get through seemingly dark times. And like the elder we have amazing regenerative powers - we too can re-root and recover from damage, strengthened by compassion for ourselves and others. #elder #ogham #chiron #woundedhealer #healing #spirit #compassion #lightwithin #selfheal #courageoftheheart #consciousness #forgiveness #allisthebeloved$
