“Athena is a wonderful affirmation that there are no limits to what a woman can do with her intellect and creative ability.” ~ Susan Eleanor Boulet Trust, The Goddess Knowledge Cards.
These last few years, the word resilience has taken on a new meaning in my life. The only thing we can expect in life is that we can-as I said in my book–expect the unexpected. In the EPONA program, we are learning about emotional agility and for that I am truly grateful. The idea of emotional agility is that we learn to trust emotion as information and instead of resisting or stuffing our emotions, learning to dance with them.
What does it mean to dance with our emotions? It means the willingness as Pema Chodron says, to just “sit in them.” Simple? Well yes and no. Sitting with our emotions and asking them for meaning, is the stuff of warriors. The benefits? Increased emotional health and WELLbeing.
The image you see above is called Skeleton Woman. She appeared to me while reading Women Who Run with the Wolves in 2007. She called to me today after pulling the Athena Goddess card this morning. I thought I would share this with you today.
How might you use emotional agility in your life today?
