Happy Halloween - Beautiful Spirits, and the Collective Unconscious

Happy Halloween, Samhain, end of Autumn, and Happy Thinning of the Veil

Honoring and remembering our ancestors on this day.  Taking advantage of the special energy of this day which is all about the space in between two worlds.  Polarities come together on this day, allowing us to reach out to our dead loved ones.  I'm celebrating the opportunity to go deeper beneath the surface to make connections with those who have come before.  I'm requesting assistance from those beautiful spirits who are still with us.  Hidden feelings may come to the surface in an unprecedented and intense way on this day.

Halloween is a time when our intuitive knowledge is at its peak.

There are times when we have a feeling.  We can't explain or rationalize why - we just know something.  Intuition occupies that space between the conscious and the unconscious.  Intuition connects us to true knowledge without judgement getting in the way. 

Brene Brown writes, “Intuition is not a single way of knowing - it's our ability to hold space for uncertainty and our willingness to trust the many ways we've developed knowledge and insight, including instinct, experience, faith and reason.”

When I think about intuition, I think about the collective unconscious, common symbolism and archetypes.  Collective unconscious is one way we can manifest our connection to the spirit world.

Those beautiful spirits who have shared our lives have given us their experience and wisdom, and collective unconscious - and we carry that with us.  Those who have been close to us who have died, friends, parents, even beloved pets, have all contributed to our intuitive knowledge.  They are always with us - we just need to reach out to find them sometimes.

This is a day to feel close to those precious people who have left our earthly realm.

This is a day to create a ritual of appreciation for those who have shared their lives with us.

Create an alter celebrating loved ones who have died, write in a journal to document the special life experiences that have been shared with them, visit a gravesite of family and friends and honor them with incense and flowers, call upon them through meditation and prayer, take a moment to appreciate their lives, write a message to the dearly departed, and send it to the heavens in a blaze of fire.
