December’s Teachings
Coming up January 3: The Teaching
Just For Today #2 & #3
Journal Prompt:
What have you learned about yourself and your true kinship practice this month?
Practice Suggestion:
Are you noticing any restrictive patterns during your day? What did you find?
Just For Today #1
Altar Suggestion
What’s important is that what’s on the altar resonates with you and mirrors back who you are. IMPORTANT: The possession of feathers and other parts of native North American birds without a permit is prohibited by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA)
The Affirmation
I stay true to myself, who I am and how I show up in the world as I can. I am aware that living during this turbulent time calls for special care, and part of that is being kind to myself and recognizing I DO make a difference.
The Teaching
There is a large part of true kinship, the part we carry inside of us, that was forged by generations past, by family traditions and societal expectations. You’ve been so indoctrinated into these outdated traditions and expectations (you’re not alone!) that you accept them as a part of yourself and true kinship, without recognizing the effects they have on you and the animals.
Until a day arrives and you realize they are standing between you and your embodied experience of true kinship. You realize how restrictive they are. The time has come to see them for what they are and decide if you want to keep them or let them go for a new way of being.
Glad you’re a part of the true kinship with animals community!
We all do better when ALL creatures do better.
