Letter from the Sanctuary
In the belly & egg symbology
February 2025 Edition
Hello Brave Ones,
We find ourselves at the threshold of Imbolc, the halfway point between the Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox. In Old Irish, Imbolc means, “in the belly”, referring to the stirring of life within the womb of our Mother Earth. There is also a stirring happening within us, a quickening within our bellies and fire within, promising renewal and rebirth. It is not yet spring, or the time for the birth of the new, but now is the time that we can nurture our flame by focusing on that which brings us joy.
A beautiful way to tend to your inner flame this month of February, is to follow that which brings you pleasure, bliss and beauty into your life as much as possible. I have been practicing this for the last few years, and to be honest, it has been challenging to give myself permission to that which feels like indulgence, but it is so incredibly supportive. To follow your bliss informs what naturally brings you alive, and in turn, informs what actions we take in the world. I have decided this year to create a list of things that bring me joy to incorporate daily. This practice feeds your inner flame, your inner child, and will ultimately inform what is being created and eventually birthed into the world when we begin a new cycle in the spring.
This winter (and the last few years, let’s be honest) has taken many of us through the depths of transformation and transition. Many of us are finding ourselves in a liminal space, no longer connected to what used to bring us joy or who we used to be. A practice of following your bliss, can support you in meeting this new version of yourself. Follow what FEELS GOOD to you. Here in Southwest Colorado, we are very much still in winter mode, many of us feeling anxious for spring to arrive 🙋🏼♀️. But how can we deepen into the present, focusing on alchemizing this time to be the most blissful month of all? I think of hot water (baths, hot spring adventures), massages, creating nourishing creamy cacao elixirs by my warm fire, slow walks in nature with no time constraint, waking up early with candle light, dancing around my house, creating, dreaming, etc, etc, etc!
As we focus on the inner flame in our bellies this month, I thought it would also be a great time to share more about the powerful symbology of the Egg. The Harmonic Egg inventor, Gail Lynn, didn’t just randomly decide to create an acoustic chamber in the shape of an Egg. Oh no, this was actually very intentional and here is why.
“Eggs have long been revered for their spiritual significance, symbolising rebirth, renewal, and the potential for transformation. They carry the energy of fertility and new beginnings, reminding us of the power to start anew and embrace opportunities in our lives. Just as a chick hatches from an egg, we too can break through our limitations and emerge into a new and vibrant existence. The egg serves as a powerful metaphor for the process of personal growth, presenting us with the opportunity to shed old patterns and beliefs, and to embrace our true potential. But the spiritual significance of eggs extends beyond their representation of rebirth. They also embody the concept of balance and wholeness. Just like an egg has two parts – the yolk and the white – we too have light and shadow aspects within us. It is through integrating both the light and the dark that we find spiritual harmony and a sense of completeness.
Furthermore, eggs serve as a powerful symbol of protection and divine support. When we hold an egg in our hands, we are reminded of the presence of a higher power guiding us on our spiritual journey. They remind us to trust in the divine plan and have faith in the process of life.”
Sacred geometry + light + color + sound create a portal of remembrance within the Harmonic Egg. During this time of transition, shedding and remembering, come be held within the embrace of the Egg, within yourself and within the belly of Mother Earth. My prayer is that we prioritise ourselves each and every day and tend to our hearts. It is needed now more than ever.
Blissful blessings,
Calley
