Time to Restore

There are times to be active and to walk into the day and be present and a part of all that is. But this is not the time. For coming to you now is the Dragon of the Night, the one who shares the energy of rest and recuperation with all the denizens of the Kitsune realm. For although there are Kitsune who walk by night, who intertwine with your dreams to teach and explore, there are those who must truly allow themselves to be at rest, without resistance, once the stars reach their highest point. And this time is here for you now. Take a step back and consider ways in which to restore your energy levels. Create a sleeping space which is designed to maximize a truly nourishing sleep experience. Reduce the light-even the moonlight- which can enter, and give yourself over to the darkness as your blessed eyes close and the sun’s eye dims for a time.

In this way, you will feel stronger, calmer, more alive and ready for all that the waking hours bring. Without this rest, you will feel stretched and thin of aspect and temper, fraying around the edges, until such time as you can rest once again. Take time to establish a routine, exclude the light from radiant devices from your space, establish a prayerful, soulful ritual that will slowly ease you into the in-between world of sleep. Within your waking life, too, take a moment to step back and see how you can create a restful approach to all that takes place. This is not the time for effort, for reaching, but for cultivation of calm and creative space within your life. Force nothing, allow space for doing barely anything at all, except creating energy and experiences which feed your every cell, your every living moment.
