Dance/Baile: Graciella urges us to create the patterns of our own life’s dance and to dance with all abandon.
By reflecting on the steps taken in the past, we can gain insight into what steps have resonated with a fulfilling, creative, and joyful life that each of us can experience.
Alternately, there are dances danced that may have precipitated a fall, a sprained ankle, or a fractured relationship.
Reflect on what patterns of dance have precipitated laughter, a healthy glow, or an everlasting love.

Bravado/Bravata: Graciella suggests that when we decide to take an action that we are able to stand behind it. It is important to have ability to stand up for what we believe in- even when no one else does.
There is a difference between rebelling and cutting off one’s nose to spite one’s face. That old saying tells us a lot. What sort of damage do we incur to ourselves with the decisions we make?
As long as we are able to say yes, I stand up for what I believe in and I’m willing to do anything to make my point, go for it. There are also ways of saying what needs to be said and doing what needs to be done in diplomatic ways if that is possible in any given situation. We are the one’s that must reflect on that.
If you are willing to stand up and speak up do so with dignity,

Wisdom: Graciella asks us to reflect on the sources of wisdom in our lives. Do we seek from without or from within?
There are many wisdom seekers in the world. We are all them. We often do not know where to turn for sage advice, consultation, and guidance. By looking around us in all directions, solidly, groundedly, and purposefully, we may find those who are ready and profoundly prepared to provide us the wisdom that we seek.
A charlatan may be disguised as a teacher but those of us on the path to true wisdom will easily glimpse the untruths or trickery those individuals are quick to present us with. Listen to your heart. Is it in step with your will? Is it in step with your intellect? Is it in step with your spirituality?
Wisdom comes with age, experience, and honesty to ourselves and to others. Be at peace that you will find those teachers whether within or without that you seek. They are here.
We open our arms to the light beings who have come to provide the knowledge and wisdom we seek.

Lament: Graciella reminds us that tears are a gift that we may use to release our deepest sorrows. By allowing ourselves to feel our most profound feelings of sadness and releasing them, we then give space for newness in our lives.
There are many individuals who are in deep pain and grief during these times. Loss of work, homes, and basic necessities have us wondering what comes next. We may be experiencing the pain of the loss of someone we’ve had deep love for or we may be experiencing the bewilderment of the loss of life as we knew it before this pandemic.
Allow yourself to feel. Allow yourself to be. Speak with someone about your innermost troubles. Pray out loud to the heavens for what you may need. The image shows the woman in deep lament. The owl of knowing and the snake of transformation sit by her, ready to give her the aide she needs. The barrenness of the tree is contrasted by the fullness of the moon. The beautiful flowers show that there is growth in pain.
Graciella asks that you allow yourself to be held.

Contemplation: Graciella urges us to be at peace as we contemplate the vast array of possibilities set before us.
There is so much going on in our world. We may be confused as to which path we should take. There is no such thing as one path. All paths lead to others. There is always the possibility of turning back, changing paths yet again, and the possibility of walking on the grass if that action seems right to you.
Remember that we are moving, changing, dynamic beings. There is nothing that is naturally stagnant about us. When we choose not to move for whatever reason that is not healthy to our physical, mental, and emotional aspects. Our spiritual aspects, when strong in foundation, will assure that we are moving in a way that is beneficial to us and our Universe.

The Ancestors: Graciella shares a simple message with us today. The ancestors are always with us, supporting and guiding us. Those of us who are still in our bodies have access to converse and communicate with our spirit guides always.
Communication with the ancestors comes in many forms. They share aromas, visualizations, and words amongst other signs to let us know that they are with us. We may miss some of these beings in the physical form but it is important to know that the relationships continue on.
Some individuals who still walk in the physical worry that the relationships they had with deceased family members on the planet were too toxic and there could never be healing of the wounds. There is still the possibility that they may be healed. Remember that communication, process, and growth does not stop because we physical people are spirits too.
Prayer, meditation, and reflection on our parts in the process can help to elucidate. These actions can be beginnings to wonderfully strong relationships with our ancestors.
In the love and tradition of those who have crossed,

The Gatherer: Graciella tells us to be grateful for that which we carry in our baskets. Look inside of your basket and reflect on what it holds.
Is your basket filled with fruit and the abundance of all things good, yet you worry about your future harvest? Taking time to give thanks for what you have at this moment may have more value for you than stressing and ruminating about what your future holds.
Is your basket half empty? Decide whether it makes most sense to refill it before you’ve used up what is left. Is your fear of being left with a totally empty basket making you rush in panic. Reflect on how you’ve filled your basket in the past. What has worked for you?
Is the bottom of your basket empty with a few remnants of past abundance? Again, how have you filled it before? This may be the time for prayer and meditation for the clarity of your process. It may also be the time to ask for help in filling your basket. If no one knows of your need, how can they help you?
The basket has many openings. As you gather, introspect on what you may be wasting, what may be seeping through the cracks, and what will fill your basket that ensures you, not only survival of these times, but abundance and prosperity in your life.

Sobriety: Graciella asks us to be certain how we define sobriety. For some, it may mean putting down a stem glass of wine. Something that we’ve come to depend on ingesting into our bodies despite the toxicity that we experience due to its effects.
How many of us don’t realize that our tattered reputations, our defunct relationships with people we used to share love and comradery, or loss of jobs when we thought we were more knowledgeable than our supervisors are due to that nightly imbibing for relief?
There is another level of sobriety to consider. How are we walking through life? Do we plan and take measured steps or are we impulsively darting to and fro thinking we are making sound decisions?
Changing how we treat our existences doesn’t mean a loss of spontaneity, fun, and laughter. It may mean a world of new and blessed adventures.
Take a moment to reflect on what sobriety might mean for you. It might be very becoming!

Water: Graciella urges us to welcome water as a soothing element into your life in any form that is most comforting to you.
The image shows the children, boy and girl, at fun playing with water. The two can also represent the masculine and feminine aspects of ourselves. Water is present in vapor, in ice, in streams, oceans, rains, and in tears. Water trickling down rocks is most delighful.
Pray that you will find the medium most healing for you. Will salty tears heal your heart of anguish, fear, anxiety, or pain? Will dipping your toes in the ocean clear you of unwanted energies? Will going for a long walk in the rain provide you with the soothing you so deserve? Is a lavender bath the tool for allaying your fears today?
Take a moment to reflect on what way you will interact with water today. The Great Mother Goddess is with you in whichever form you choose.

The Fool: Graciella laughs and tells us that we have all been foolish at one time or another. There is no need to become ego dismantled if something is done clumsily, in error, or if others witness the action that could have been done differently.
There are persons with problems of the ego who will strike out at others because of their mortal fear of being found out to be foolish. It’s not that serious. Take the time to reflect on your actions. Is the fact that you were caught the most horrendous thing to you? What about the action itself?
Take time to be humble and their will be less opportunity to feel humiliation.
Today, if I make a mistake, or take an action that I regret, I will forgive myself and put that occurrence down as part of the experience of life. Today, I will be my best friend, no matter how silly I think I am.
