Dear Ones..
It was an uppity Soul Salon in which we drank Vitali-TEA together! It felt very uplifting to hear all of your suggestions about how you are remaining vital and energetic during these challenging times. We shared the wealth of our experience concerning how to remain vital on all levels. We especially talked about the unexpected bursts of energy and joy that have been coming to us, during this seemingly chaotic time. We committed to living in a moment by moment adventure model of holding reality where aliveness, vitality, joy and ecstasy are merely by products of that commitment! The overview metaphor for the call was the Phoenix Rising. We shared about using the fire that is happening culturally and on Earth at large, to burn away that which needs to be released and rising on the wings of change on the currents provided by the times we are in. May we use the energies that are extant to continue to move out of fear and stay in unconditional Love in the exciting adventure in which we are participating in creating collective transformation!

VITALI-TEA SOUL SALON
Physical or mental vigor, energy, etc. The power or ability to continue in existence, live, or grow: the vitality of a movement. Exuberant physical strength or mental vigor. The peculiarity distinguishing the living from the nonliving. Vitality has the general meaning of “life force,” as in the mysterious power that separates the living from the dead. Approaching life with excitement and energy; not doing things halfway or halfheartedly; living life as an adventure; feeling alive and activated.
So how is your life force and vitality at this juncture in life? How are the circumstances that are extant right now in the world, affecting your sense of well-being and vitality?
When you look at the definition that vitality is the peculiarity distinguishing the living from the non-living, that is a VITALLY important distinguishment. So what defines that divide and more importantly, how do we viably stay on the side of vitality and well being?
What are you doing to stay vital and well in this vulnerable time?
Let’s just list, not go into detail, but make a list of what you feel supports your vitality most right now.
When we look at vitality through the lens of exuberant physical strength and mental vigor and energy, what are you doing as far as your physical body, to maintain that exuberant state of well being we call vitality?
Vitality has the general meaning of the mysterious power we call “life force,” . What are you doing to support and strengthen your Shakti life force?
The final definition to me is the most important one to consider, that is, “approaching life with excitement and energy; not doing things halfway or halfheartedly; living life as an adventure; feeling alive and activated.” When we allow ourselves to move into the frequency range of fear, it damages vitality in all the ways we have just said we are supporting ourselves to stay vital. All of our enthusiasm and excitement about life leaches off and often that leaves us feeling dulled, uninspired, unmotivated, depressed.. in essence living half-heartedly. Far from living life as an adventure, we tend to contract, hunker down, numb out. We begin to go through the motions and do things without enthusiasm or joy.
What I want us to look at together is: “What keeps us from looking at life as even more of an adventure right now, because no one knows the outcome, it is an open ended game, virtually anything can happen.. that is, wonderful, amazing, unexpected things can also happen when the game of life is unpredictably thrown up in the air. Due to the circumstances we find ourselves in, we are called to be utterly present, because we don’t know what is going to happen in another moment. Even Death is our ally, because it assists us in holding each moment as utterly precious. Living in the moment is the most challenging initiation for a culture that has been riveted on future goals, control and “becoming” something in the future. When you begin to look at life as an in-the-moment-adventure and as a way of holding reality, you all of a sudden are open to feeling bursts of extreme aliveness, vitality, ecstasy and even joy.
What kind if extra-ordinary experiences, bursts of aliveness, vitality, ecstasy or joy have you had during this time that the culture at large, is certainly not holding reality as an adventure? Let’s share some of those experiences to bolster our choice to continue to move out of fear and into the sense of exciting adventure that is possible for us to hold reality in.
