We all had to explore our inner capacity to be the “Lone Wolf”.  Independence and self-sufficiency were heralded as the path to mastery for all souls, in this last cycle.  Our return to community, and collective living and genius, will be our medicine.  The pendulum swings, and I intend to be quick on the uptake, and ease this transition by being ahead of the curve.  I naturally feel this, and bet you do as well.  

I am inspired today by “Pando”, or a grove of Aspen trees in Utah that is ONE living organism, by nature of its root ball, of over 47,000 trees in the stand.  The Aspen tree reminds us that none of us is a STAND ALONE.  This clone, or stand of trees has been alive for over 80,000 years, well before humans walked our beautiful blue orb.  Our strength and longevity will reveal itself anew, as being the collective and cooperative manner we so deeply long to return home to.  

Take the word “alone” and break it down and ruminate on it, and we see it actually, from a different perspective is “all-ONE”. And so we are.  At times when we either cut off the flow of love and connection, for every act of isolation is ours alone, or when we mistakenly perceive others have abandoned us, I turn to Fir Needle essential oil.  The capacity of Fir Needle to regenerate and support our adrenals, and work with ancestral issues handed down for generations, points to the teachings of our interconnectedness.  When we feel we must carry the weight of the world on our own shoulder and it is “us against the world”, the emotional and energetic teachings of this wondrous conifer, like the Aspen Tree, lets us know we are supported.  May our survival, renewal, and thriving happen underground where we are all a collective network.
