Four Directions

FOUR DIRECTIONS

In ancient cosmologies the compass directions provided orientation for the Soul as well as for the body. The qualities associated with each direction give powerful insights into our nature and the cycle of development. There is almost universal agreement between diverse cultural traditions on the qualities associated with each direction, confirming that they are a repository of ancient intuitive wisdom.

 

INNER COMPASS

The world is full of options, doors to open or leave closed. When you follow your instinct, intuitions, dreams, visions, insights, inspirations and synchronicities, you are being guided by your Inner Compass. Learn how to recognise the signs and cues, and how to navigate in the realm of dreams, visions and memories.

 

VITAL FORCE

The entire Cosmos is alive with vital energy. Every individual life is unique, but not autonomous. From a volcano to a neutrino, and a virus to a rain forest, each form is imbued by the Vital Force. The grain of sand is part of the beach, the shore is part of the continent, and the continent is part of the Earth. The solar system is part of the galaxy and the Milky Way is part of the Cosmos. The animating force that creates and sustains the entire Universe is present in all things, from first to last. As above, so it is below.

 

BEING CENTRED

When you stand in your centre, you can connect with the four directions, with the Earth below, and the Heavens Above. You can do this in everyday life with a simple practice. Being centred gives you access to all the qualities of your nature, and this will help you to find and maintain balance in your Self, and in your world.
