Imix

Deep, dark, unfathomable primal waters, I Am. Tenderly do I cradle in you the mystery of becoming. Receive nourishment from my primordial depths.

Imix sounds a call in your life to go beneath the surface, to plumb your own primal depths. Go to the abundant wellspring of the life force to fine the nourishment for which you yearn. In trust and receptiveness is found the source of movement. From the primordial waters of unity flows the spiral of eternal emergence. Allow others to give fully to you, for in the receptivity the circuit of love is completed.

The entire universe is made up of love. Give and receive. If you are not fully receiving the gifts offered by the universe, you can short-circuit your connection with the natural aspects of growth. Give freely and unconditionally without attachment to how your gift is received. Dip into the deep well of self and fill your cup with sweet waters. Offer this gift unconditionally. Trust in the situation at hand.

Primal trust means making choices moment by moment, with no guarantees. It means not trying to control the outcomes in your life. Trust your steering mechanism of heart-knowing. Trust the transformational processes that are at work in your evolution.

Call on Imix, the source of life, primal waters of creation, the root source, the primordial Mother, to nourish and care for you. In truly accepting this reservoir of sustenance, you will have unlimited resources to care for others as well as yourself. Remember that you are always embraced in the arms of the Divine, no matter what the exterior circumstances of your process or situation.

Shadow Wisdom

In the shadow of Imix are found issues of trust. Do you lack trust in the Universe to nurture you and provide what is needed for your journey? Do you feel unsupported in your life or caught in the struggle created by expectations? Any apparent lack of support actually bears a gift. You are being given a push in the direction of your primary being. Open your connection to the source of life. Trust in the wisdom and abundance of the life force.

Trust does not mean acting blindly without awareness or waiting without action; it means moving forward with whatever manifests in your world. Primal trust implies the understanding that there are no mistakes and no victims – only learning, gifts, and growth processes on the way to remembering our wholeness.

In the shadow of Imix are also feelings of unworthiness to receive or feelings of discomfort when others give to you. Feelings of unworthiness can stem from many places, but the truth is that you are intrinsically worthy to receive, just because you are. Love just is, and because love is neither given nor taken, but rather discovered and allowed, you are a natural part of the circulation of its energy.

If you have chosen Imix, you or someone in your life may be overly attached to being a caretaker, a “cosmic mama,” or a self-sacrificing source of support and nurturance for others. Look at how you may have abandoned your own needs and feelings for another. Don’t expect others to intuitively know your feelings; you are responsible for communicating them.

Whether you find yourself in the role of giver or the one in need, the shadow of Imix urges you to look at issues of self-love, basic security, self-worth, and the need for outside validation. You are being asked to step into the primal waters of your being to discover the core of your self-acceptance, your intrinsic value, your wholeness. Find the source of your emotions. Directly communicate your truth. Explore and honestly express your feelings, desires, and dreams.
