On Wednesday April 28th the Sun will move into Gate 24, RATIONALIZATION. In the I-Ching this hexagram is called RETURNING.
Addiction is a serious thing. People can be addicted to anything. Shopping, eating, worrying, gossip, substances, social media, exercise, work....and the list goes on. (I am going to call the addiction the "thing" in this post to keep it general) We tend to, as a society, judge people that have addictions. Humans put a moral spin on everything. This is short sided as all of us have addictive behaviors. We think the "thing" is the problem rather than exploring what might be the root of the behavior. We believe once the "thing" is gone the problem will go away so we practice aestheticism and ban the thing. If that is the approach to overcome the addiction then something else will take its place. A new "thing" per se. Now, don't get me wrong, if a substance or behavior is causing harm to an individual or the people around him or her I get the logic behind removing the "thing". However, the "thing" was never the issue. As Gabor Mate says, "Not why the addiction, but why the pain." That is the question we must sit with. That question requires great bravery. Rather than judge those that have an addiction, or ourselves if we are struggling, perhaps we should extend compassion and understanding, appreciating the tremendous courage it requires to face pain and suffering head on. It's very Human to shy away from or bypass pain. Most of us humans do. The Buddha sought all sorts of ways to bypass suffering. He went to all the guru's and tried all the techniques only to come to the conclusion that suffering is a very real part of being human. He uses the Pali word "Dukkah" for the word we interpret as 'suffering'. The English word suffering really isn't a good translation. In Pali it has a much broader meaning than that. It can mean suffering or pain but it also can mean impermanence or change or conditioned states. Thankfully he provides some sound guidance on how to navigate and ease suffering but you can look into that on your own if you are motivated. To give you a hint it requires being able to sit with suffering, as I mentioned before, and transcend it through a process of letting go.... This week, as this energy flows to us all, I hope that you find the silence beneath the pain where peace resides. Stay with it. You are beautiful, you are brave and you are amazing.

On Thursday April 22nd the Sun will move into Gate 27, RESPONSIBILITY or NOURISHING. In the I-Ching this hexagram is called NOURISHMENT.
"A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle." James Keller So every Saturday morning I make a big breakfast for my husband. All week he is up at 3am to go to work, and skips breakfast, so he truly looks forward to our Saturday morning routine. We have a dog,named George, and my husband loves this dog. George gets a "hello" most mornings from him before anyone else does. My husband will set aside a little pile of food on his plate as he eats so George can get a treat as well. And George knows this so George will sit and stare at my husband all through breakfast anticipating his treat. I, on the other hand,grew up, at least part of the time, around livestock and working animals, so I feel like George's dog food is definitely good enough for George. And George knows this so he doesn't hang around my side of the table. We have an understanding, George and myself, and he respects my boundaries. But he knows my husband will cave. When it comes to George my husband is coming from Gate 27. I mean completely. George is his buddy and there isn't anything he wouldn't do for George. My husband's gate 27 is an unconscious gate in his BodyGraph but I see it so clearly. Every weekend I marvel at my "tough as nails" man spoil this animal. Gate 27 is about putting the needs of another before our own. It can express in so many beautiful and surprising ways. As this energy flows to all of us you may find yourself being pulled to give selflessly from a spirit of altruism. How wonderful is that? As always I enjoy Richard Rudd's take on what he calls Gene Key 27: Gene Key 27 Shadow -Selfishness Gift – Altruism Siddhi – Selflessness “The 27th Gift has many insights for us. It is a profound and magical Gene Key. The most important Gift it brings is this unselfish attitude that comes from knowing the connectedness of all life. If we have the 27th Gene Key, or feel mysteriously drawn to it, then we’re fortunate. We’re a carer, a planetary healer.” – Richard Rudd, 64 Ways Blessing to you!

In the I-Ching this hexagram is called DIFFICULTY AT THE BEGINNING.
“We change the world not by what we say or do, but as a consequence of what we have become.” – Dr. David Hawkins Becoming isn’t an easy process. To become we must un-become what we once were or how we used to see or do things. To be truly innovative, to chart a new course or to reinvent oneself is difficult….in the beginning. Like anything we do consistency is key. There are so many things that can throw us off track. There are so many distractions, obligations and demands for our attention. Those things will always be among us. They are the “waves” in the sea of life. Like Jon Cabot Zinn says, “You can’t stop the waves, but you can learn to surf!” It all starts with an acknowledgement of what is true. And what is not true. And making peace with what is. It’s only then that we can begin our effort to change direction and to improve ourselves and the world we live in. We have had so much chaos as of late. But what is chaos really? Chaos is an undoing of sorts and without chaos there is no need to innovate. Resistance to what is just prolongs suffering. Surrendering to truth and to change is a necessary component of not only ending our suffering but bringing about positive change and meaningful growth. I hope as this energy flows to us all that instead of focusing on the undoing, the chaos, we see it as an opportunity to bring about new and exciting ways to solve our difficulties and the difficulties of our world! Richard Rudd’s take on Gene Key 3 Shadow-Chaos Gift – Innovation Siddhi – Innocence “No matter who or what we are, we’re subject to constant change. When we let that truth in, it’s very uncomfortable, at least in the beginning. This Gene Key is all about the process of letting change in. We have to let it into our heart, body, and soul. This is a contemplation on change.” – Richard Rudd, 64 Ways Each year the sun moves counterclockwise around the gates of the mandala (like the sun moves through the astrological signs), spending approximately 6 days in each gate.

In the I-Ching, this hexagram is called INCREASE.
“The thing about finishing a story is that finishing is really only the beginning.” ― William Herring Life is a continuum. Every ending is a new beginning. I have spent this week going through 30+ years worth of stuff our family has accumulated through various moves, 4 children, friendships, pets....the list goes on and on. Our local Goodwill is getting to know me pretty well at this point. It has been slightly overwhelming to me how much I have held onto. There is a tremendous emotional component to all of it. Up until now there have been many things I have not been willing to part with let alone look at. Some of the memories associated with those things are painful and have brought up unresolved grief and some have been pleasant and really heartwarming. This week has been so much more than spring cleaning. In letting go of attachments to things, memories, regrets, dreams that didn't pan out and failed expectations I am making room for something new to grow. I am allowing space for Source to bring forth those things that are for my highest good and the highest good of others. This week the energy will be there for completion, closure and growth. As always I enjoy Richard Rudd's take on what he calls Gene Key 42.... Gene Key 42 Shadow -Expectation Gift – Detachment Siddhi – Celebration “When we go into this, we’ll discover what blissfulness feels like. We’ll touch the ecstatic realms where the mind lets go, where thinking comes to an end. When thoughts do come, they’re the thoughts of God, so they only engender more bliss. We’ll become like a child again, and life becomes heaven on earth” – Richard Rudd, 64 Ways Each year the sun moves counterclockwise around the gates of the mandala (like the sun moves through the astrological signs), spending approximately 6 days in each gate.

In the I-Ching this hexagram is also called THE AROUSING.
This is the energy of the shaman or mystic who goes through a difficult initiation or trial and is "shocked" into spiritual awakening. If you have this Gate or the entire channel (25-51) you don't have to seek this initiation. It will come to you. It will get your attention. On the less serious side, people with this energy defined like to be a little shocking. They enjoy it. They have a little fun with it. They might say something out of the blue that is a little shocking and they often enjoy the response they get. It's a little comical but ultimately it is all about bringing others back to Spirit. This is also highly competitive energy which can be experienced by others being competitive with them or being competitive themselves. I have this entire channel and people will often attempt to compete with me because I have this energy. They will pull in front of me and take a parking space I was about to turn into and then just grin at me. Or, when I am reaching for a loaf of bread at the store, grab it before I can take it off the shelf. This used to puzzle me, because I don't really care much for competition, but now I am fascinated and amused by it. When you begin to notice these energies at work it's quite interesting and a little funny to be honest. It's interesting to see the contrast between who we are and who others project us to be. So this week this Gate is activated in all of us! It should be very interesting. Although we all might feel like being a little "shocking" let's make sure we temper that with love and use this energy in its highest expression! Richard Rudd's thoughts: Gene Key 51 Shadow- Agitation Gift – Initiative Siddhi – Awakening “Awakening is really a series of softenings. Our awareness becomes more one-pointed, but our heart and mind become softer and more open. Whenever we’re confronted with harshness, the unexpected, noise, turbulence, the thunder of life, instead of tensing up, we can relax and open, soften and become milder. Mildness is an essential quality needed to allow spiritual initiation.” – Richard Rudd, 64 Ways Each year the sun moves counterclockwise around the gates of the mandala (like the sun moves through the astrological signs), spending approximately 6 days in each gate. As the sun (or any other celestial body) moves through a gate it **“activates”**the energy of that gate. This means that the energy is released to “flow” to us.
