May 1st, is May Day. The Celtics call it Beltaine. The Catholics celebrate Mary and wear flowers in their hair. In more than 80 countries around the world May 1st is a national holiday. In many others it is celebrated as a religious holiday.
Energetically it is a time of life-generating celebration. It is time of celebrating the Goddess aspect and Divine Feminine; regardless of whether you call her Mary, Kwan Yin, Gaia, or the Hindu Gayatri. It is a time of fun, merriment, and fertility. (What do you think the May Pole really represents anyway?) May Day brings to mind mystical stories of Robin Hood and Greenwood Weddings. It is also known in esoteric history as a “Hinge Holiday”. We always remind our clients and students to think of a hinge as a huge energy door that suddenly swings open on it's hinges. In terms of energy, it's a holiday that contains both an increased amperage and voltage...so it tends to carry a wallop!
In this article I'll answer the two most commonly asked questions:
So what actually happens on a hinge?
Hinges are magnifying energies. Whether you perceive the structure of your life as good or bad, is irrelevant. Whatever structure is present acts as the filter as the energies pour through. Positive things become more positive, and challenges become more challenging. Since awareness is the key to conscious creation, all of the earth shifts (there are eight every year) increase awareness.
Most of us use avoidance as a coping mechanism. The problem with keeping your head in the sand (if I may be so blunt) is that your backside is in the air. Inevitably, it gets kicked. We usually experience this as some huge drama with someone or something. Although it's tough on the ego, this can be a blessing of sorts too. If you got kicked, it is an area of your life that is significantly out of balance and has been out of balance for some time. This means that when the hinge energy hits this poorly balanced structure, it topples to the ground, usually with great fanfare.
How do I make this a good thing?
Use the energy! The energy of the hinge also provides the exact frequencies necessary to transform whatever you focus on! The blessing behind something 'blowing up' is that now it is very much in your awareness. Since it is in your awareness, now you can focus on what you want your end result to be!
I'll admit this is a challenge, because most of us don't really know what we want...we only know what we don't want. Be cautious! Focusing on what you don't want, especially during a hinge, guarantees that you will get more of it (up to three times actually via the Law of Threefold).
The same mechanism also applies when you are focusing on manifesting, healing, transforming relationships...with a threefold payout.
Focus well everyone, and have an awesome hinge!
Happy May Day everyone!
