Hestia

Empowerment Message

Being at home in your own skin is what the Greek goddess of the hearth, Hestia, offers you today. When you are in alignment with your truest self, it’s like everything you do suddenly fits and feels right. Now is the time to also look into your domestic environment, making sure you are surrounded by beautiful things that have special positive meaning for you.

Cleaning, tending house, and taking care of simple things are what is called for now. (“Chop wood and carry water,” as the Zen koan puts it.) the answers to the big questions come of their own accord when you’re focused on the small tasks. The goddess Hestia reminds you that when you are at home in yourself, you are at home in the world.

Alignment Message

Are you surrounded by clutter in your home or work? Do you have objects or clothes that have negative stories attached to them? Every object holds energy and tells a specific story. The pants that don’t fit shame you; the gift from an ex-partner taunts you with disappointment or resentment; the books you will never read shout at you. Who needs this cacophony?

The goddess Hestia, who rules the hearth, offers you this alignment task: do a thorough house cleaning. Declutter and make space in your environment. Do the same for your mind too. Your mind might be cluttered with old stories that have no value for you now.

Walk away from situations you know you don’t belong in. Get rid of all of it. When you remove the superfluous distractions, it’s amazing how your intentions come together like magic. Make space for the miracles of the goddess Hestia has in store for you. Yes, it takes work, but it’s worth it!
