What's Your Cycle?

Have you noticed how nature moves in cycles? There’s the small daily ones of dawn and dusk, the larger moon cycles, and the even larger ones of the seasons. Because we live with these from the moment of our births, it is easy to ignore them or simply take them for granted. If we could be more conscious of the various cycles in life, we would better attune ourselves to them and actually use their energy to move us along.

The natural cycles of life includes everything: home life, work, relationships, money, creativity- all of it.  The cycles in nature are easy to see and we are able to accept those fairly well most of the time. For some reason, though, we seem to think that our lives should be in the harvest cycle all the time. What about planting, watering, digging out weeds and the little plants that don’t make it because of the heat or the cold? Just like nature, our lives have cycles.

The wise person pays attention to the cycle of their life and acts accordingly. If things are moving slowly, don’t panic. Use this time for planning, more networking, and to rest when you can. Learning to work with natural cycles teaches the virtue of detachment. There are seen and unseen forces at work in our lives. We can learn to make our plans, do our best to realize them, and then let it all go into the cosmic blender knowing that the right results will show up at the right time. When we are detached from the results of our efforts, we cease putting up barriers to our own success.

Moving through life with an awareness of cycles will help us be more relaxed and responsive. Paying attention to the cycles of our loved ones will support better relationships, and paying attention to the larger cycles of our world will help us see things from a broader and more insightful perspective. Take a look at your current cycle and see how being consciously in sync can support your efforts to be and do what you intend rather than simply being tossed around by large waves you didn’t realize were there.

Living in grace and ease,
