On this day, we reflect on the Irish. Many of my ancestors, and perhaps yours as well or of Irish dissent. While the lore surrounding this day includes Saint Patrick driving the snakes out of Ireland, we do well to use this energy for transformation.
Snakes symbolize transformation. They shed their skins. Thus, releasing old ways, letting go of the past, allowing tender fresh new possibilities to exist.
In your hibernation and deeper introspection of the winter, what have you found that you need to transform? What outer covering is ready to be released? Ki to Happiness releases fear, and transforms it into compassion for others who are fearful.
