1st Weekly Reading for February 2017

There are two very strong energies this week: 1) strong beliefs and opinions; vs. 2) sensitivity.  This week we have to be careful what we say as we might be misunderstood, leading to "fallings outs" with friends, family or co-workers.  Try to avoid talking about the 3 main "offenders" - politics, religion and money.  Instead keep topics superficial and impersonal, otherwise there is a risk of others taking what you say too personally, even if you had previously been on the same page.  Please keep in mind that this might also apply to you, with you being the one taking things too personally.  Also, we are being advised to concentrate on ourselves, on what is relevant to us in the here and now and involving our immediate surroundings.  Too many people are too passionate (upset, angry) about what is happening in the world when in reality, it has nothing to do with them.  This is indicating a very wounded population that chooses to direct its focus away from self and toward others to distract from its own problems. Instead, turn that passion into compassion for self and others.  Heal yourself and the world will heal as a result.
