The Month of February
February is about Self-Care
The Energy of February
The month of February holds the energies of self-care and self-love. This is the month to take time to nurture and love yourself. It is important that you create commitments to love yourself all year long and not just in February. I have found that I have to schedule these things in my calendar in order for them to happen.
Self-Care
As we move into the energies of Self-Care, the universe is pushing for you to love and care for yourself. When was the last time you put yourself first? Take a moment and ask yourself these questions:
- What can you do to nurture yourself?
- What can you do to love yourself every month?
- What can you do to refuel your energy tank?
- What do you need to do to set healthy boundaries in your life?
Here are some ideas to consider:
- Allow yourself to sleep in or take a nap
- Schedule an appointment for a massage, pedicure, or spa day
- Schedule a playdate with a friend or family member
- Schedule a dinner date with a special person in your life
- Take time to enjoy your favorite herbal tea while you watch the sunset
- Take time to do a creative project with someone
- Set up a movie date with yourself and your fuzzy pajamas
- Set up a social event with friends
- Set up a special bath ritual of love and healing
Your Card for February
I have a ritual of pulling cards for each month of the year. This ritual has been one of my life rituals for over ten years. I have found that the Universe provides me with strength, support, and guidance throughout the year in my cards. I will pull my cards during the Sacred Candles of Intention process at the end of the year. If you were unable to attend this program, you can still pull your cards for the year.
In my ritual, I use the major arcana (0 Fool through XXI The World) of my favorite tarot deck.
- I pull out all the major arcana cards.
- I light a candle and set sacred space for my ritual.
- It is important for me to be in the right space of mind when I do this ritual.
- I get out a piece of paper and write down the months on the paper: January through December.
- I shuffle the cards and select a card for each month.
- I write down the card for each month.
- I set the card for the month on my altar, so I can be focused each month.
