What it Means to Hold the Light with Judith Nilan EP 168

The Space For Magic Podcast with Patty Lennon

Patty has a repeat guest today! She’s talking with Judith Nilan the author of A Call To Crone: Weaving Wisdom With Threads Of Irish Heritage and A Legacy Of Wisdom: The Genius, Power, and Possibility of Ireland’s Indigenous Spiritual Heritage.

Today she and Patty are discussing the sacred pause, a topic that’s been on the minds of many. Judith referred to it as a call to cave. She explains that her heritage this time is one for rest, renewal and gathering around the hearth.

It’s no wonder many of us feel called to rest.

Judith reminds us that we were thrown into forced hibernation for much longer than any of us could have imagined. Add to that the angst and anxiety in the world in general, and it’s traumatic.

We are being called to step into the highest and best potential that’s possible in our lives. Hear how Judith explains this and why it’s so powerful.

We can’t think our way through this.

There is no clear navigation for this which is one reason why many of us feel so anxious. Judith shares how to embrace our capacity to remember ourselves as sacred people. This is so powerful!

We all shine a light into the world.

How can we listen to the wisdom of our soul? Patty and Judith talk about how this can feel, and steps to address the fear that comes up when we look to slow down or surrender to the pause we’re called to take.

When we step into that place of our sacred knowing and embrace the harmony that is in us, scientists have proven that we can radiate that energy for others. Hear how Judith explains this, and why it’s going to help all of us in this busy time.

Tools to help when you feel called to rest, or when you know you need a break:

• Spend time outside
• Meditate (see Judith’s link below)
• Breathe in the energy of nature
• Be present in your environment (notice the little things)
• Embrace a body experience (to help turn off your mind)
• Trust your initial insights (your soul knows what you need)

Remember that you hold the light. You came here knowing that. It’s always been true.
