I am currently reading 100 Ways to Keep Your Soul Alive by Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat. It is a short little book, and ever so sweet. It's a perfect reading companion for the Lenten journey. I found it in a charity shop in Ireland. There are 100 suggestions in the book, and over the next 37 days or so, I will share some of my favourite with you.
One that got my attention was 'Go into all four rooms'.
There is an Indian proverb or axiom that says that everyone is a house with four rooms, a physical, a mental, an emotional, and a spiritual. Most of us tend to live in one room most of the time but, unless we go into every room every day, even if only to keep it aired, we are not a complete person.
I think the four rooms could apply to the four elements in astrology.
Physical - Earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) connecting with body.
Mental - Air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) connecting with mind.
Emotional - Water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) connecting with emotions.
Spiritual - Fire signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) connecting with spirit.
On this, day 3 of our Lenten journey, assess the condition of your four rooms. Which one looks like you visit it regularly? Which needs airing out? Which one needs a little TLC?
Something to ponder...
Hugs,
