October Oracle – Connecting at the Heart Level
by Darity Wesley
The energies and directions evolving around the month of October have the purpose of evoking within us the feeling of connection to the Divine and therefore, to each and every other living thing.
October is a time to connect, in spirit, online or even face to face with other human beings. I love so much my social networking sites where I can stay in touch with folks far and wide on a daily basis-briefly, usually, but it is a way of connection that 21st Century technology has provided us which will evolve for each and every one of us who participate. I am involved in all of it and honor those who do not choose to do so as it is certainly a choice one must make. I talk about the blurring of our public and private lives as a privacy attorney and it is true, it is up to us to decide what we want public and what we want private. Connectedness, however, differs from revelation, read on…
The expression of connectedness has been an underlying message of these Oracles this year and connecting, as in “connecting at the heart level,” transcends our traditional, usual, ideas about connection. As an example, I find many people who choose isolation, or a very limited amount of contact with other people, for their lifestyle can and do feel connected as they go about their daily lives.
This Oracle is here this month to encourage you to practice connectedness at the heart level in October. How this is expressed is first by escaping the mind, then by being present in the here and now, then having an open, friendly attitude as you go along your way. Smile! Look at people, trees, rocks, dirt, animals, all of it! Get out of your mind – look out there in the world. I find many folks respond in kind, and even do a double take, when I’m walking around the grocery store, for instance. Usually, I walk with a smile on my face, I am a happy person, with an open expression and I notice people. I don’t stare down folks, I just send energy from my heart to theirs as I walk along. You don’t need to talk, know each other’s life histories, etc. It’s about connection, about sending and receiving love.
Many have been conditioned for years, older folks mostly, to “not talk to strangers,” “don’t look at strangers,” “don’t ever make eye contact with another person” — OMG, NO!!! “Others” are scary, so you have to be closed and unapproachable, that way no one can accost you, do you harm, talk to you, get close to you, God forbid! The fearful conditioning has been going on for a long, long time and while there are certainly times when one must stay aware and alert as to what is going on around you, the more you tap into, connect with and trust your intuition, your higher self and your guides and angels, your unseen entourage, you can feel when then things, or persons, are not right or not to be engaged-it is not all the time, no matter where you are, it is indeed about being conscious, aware and alert as you walk your life path.
