Launching the Movement
Thursday, 1/30/25 1:07 pm
Welcome to The Collective Healing Habit! I’m so excited to cultivate a community and movement that is centered around love and improving everyone’s lives day by day.
One of my favorite podcasts is the Astrology of the Week Ahead by Chani Nicholas. I feel like her astrological predictions aligned perfectly with the beginning of the Movement, the launching of this website, and my overall passion coming to this pinnacle of publication.
Her following words highlight how I feel about the Collective Healing Habit Movement, what it means to me, and what I hope it means for all of you. Of course, only a fraction may resonate with you, the reader, and that is absolutely natural. So let’s get into it.
In the Week of January 20th, 2025 podcast, Chani mentions the energy of this week “is helpful for our projects that are needing a little infusion of energy but are about social cohesion or about beauty or about creating really gorgeous works of art.” Boom. another nudge in this beautiful direction!
She continues with a meditation on this energy:
“Just for a moment I want you to reclaim your energy from all of the news of the day from what is circulating in the ethers, and if you would, if you can or when you can, I’d like you to just take a nice deep breath in and feel like you’re calling your energy back into your body. Feel as though you are reclaiming your energy from the world. And in that, I want you to also imagine reclaiming your imagination and your powers of imagination back from this Collective; what can feel like a nightmare; reclaiming your power of creation and recreation with your mind, with your psyche, with your body, with your energy.
Reclaim it, call it back into your being. We are seeding a new reality in the face of great odds. This is the call that we have no choice but to answer right now: Reclaim your energy, reclaim your powers of imagination and dare in this moment to dream of something else, to dream of what is life-affirming, to dream of what co-leadership and Collective Liberation could look like. If you can close your eyes, feel yourself calling your energy back into your system, back into your body and for a moment imagine what it would be like to live in the world that you most want to live in. And imagine that this moment is the beginning of that reality; that everything that you do individually connects into everything that we need to do collectively – that is the only option. See yourself moving into the next right action, see yourself moving towards the people that you need to connect with next, see yourself as a major movement; a movement of people that spans the entire globe; a movement that is reinforced by everyone in the past that has done this work for generations. A movement of people that are right beside you doing the same thing; and a movement into the future; into the people in the future; the future versions of you and me and all of our children, and all of our families living in a way that is in accordance with life and your deepest values; imaging that this is the moment where we see all of that.
Take a deep breath. Iif your eyes are closed, open them. I implore us; reclaim our imagination from the machines of Destruction that are running wild at the moment, because that is part of the way in which we will find a path forward: to create something that is joyous and wonderfully rebellious and worth living for; worth fighting for; worth going forth for.”
What powerful words from such an inspiring woman. Cheers to this energy, let’s make this movement as loving, exciting, and fun for the entire Collective.
Habitually Yours,
Anna Marie
