Wind Directions

"Heed the North wind's mighty gale, lock the doors and trim the sails;
When the wind comes from the East, expect the new and set the feast;
When winds from West blow o'er thee, departed spirits restless be;
When the wind comes from the South, love will kiss thee on thy mouth."

The East is honored as a source of beginnings, awareness, spiritual wisdom, and vision. With the rising of the warming sun, a greater spiritual awareness develops within us. We can feel creative wisdom growing.

The West brings conclusions, stability, physical wisdom, grounding, and goals. As the sun sets, we're left focused upon Earth. In this focus, we can feel our own bodies mingling with the mass of Earth as we understand completion and the returning cycles of life.

The North improves mental wisdom, discovery, and logic in an illuminating fashion. Knowledge accumulated through our lives is purified, as if a swift breeze blew away all dust and confusion. We prepare for intellectual illumination as these winds sweep into our awareness. It seems that gusts of enlightened, intellectual processes of "knowing" blows into our lives.

The South is aligned with love, emotional wisdom, trust, faith, and empathy. We're submerged in the feeling of undulating emotions as if diving into refreshing waters. The flow of our blood moves steadily in rhythm with the waves pulsing within every other being. We're able to experience whole love and unity.
