Adventure and Exploration

“The universe is always expanding. You are part of the universe. Expansion is your natural state. If you resist your expansion you resist who you are. Expand into your bigness now.”

~ Rebecca Campbell

Sagittarius is all about expansion! As the 3rd and final fire sign, this energy moves you to boldly go after your dreams. It’s also the lucky sign, big on taking risks that generally work out in your favor! This season is a time to feel truly limitless and embrace your inner free spirit.

Known as “the seeker of truth”, the archer is about expanding the mind by exploring the world. This can be through physical travel or philosophical learning. I love to travel and find experiencing different ways of life to be a beautifully humbling experience. I believe everyone should have the opportunity to travel to a foreign country at least once in their life. I’d prefer to do it once a year! Even within the U.S. there are so many different cultures to explore and bring a new level of understanding to humanity. If long distance travel doesn’t light you up, you can always expand your mind from the comfort of your own home. Higher learning also falls under this sign. Perhaps you’d rather take a class in something that interests you. Let this season fuel your thirst for knowledge.

All of this encourages you to explore how you see the world. If you’re reading this, you already understand that the mind is a powerful tool. You have the power to create the vision you see of your future. In fact, the subconscious mind will take steps to guarantee your vision comes to life. The trick is getting your conscious and subconscious on the same page! Tonight’s meditation leads your through a visualization exercise to get clear on what you want to see. Then, by repeating it you get the subconscious familiar enough to accept it as truth. This exercise was adapted from Lexi D’Angeleo’s Future Rehearsing technique.

Your challenge for this month is to go on an adventure!! You don’t have to go to the other side of the world to explore something new. Do something just for you that you find exciting and a little thrilling. Take a spontaneous day trip, or take a writing workshop, or do a cooking class, or try a new food every day for two weeks. Whatever you want, as long as it feels expansive for YOU!
