TAURUS SELF CARE
It's time for Taurus Self Care 💚
I say this all the time because it’s one of my core beliefs. Self care is the highest form of self love.
2 years ago on May 6, 2024, I wrote in my journal: “Self care will be what holds my hand thru the pain.” I was going thru a very emotionally difficult time, but somehow I knew in my heart that I had to stay consistent with my self care practices. This inner knowing comes from Taurus.
I’m obsessed with self care because it’s the only way I know how to support my sensitivity to the stresses of life. No one is immune to stress. The need for self care is universal, but the exact practices are individual. The self care you do is unique to you & your needs.
At some point, we all need to learn how to silence our inner world. This is where self care comes in. It’s the embodiment practice that creates space in our nervous system for the evolution of the earth energy within.
It’s how you teach your body to calm down after a shocking or stressful event. This is what the transformation of chaos into peace looks like, thru the restoration of equilibrium.
The driving force behind Taurus is Venus, the planet of peace, love, money, art, beauty, & pleasure. All the things that contribute to creating balance & harmony within.
It’s a stressful world out there. In matters of survival, it’s “can I eat this?” But we’re way past that point. We know what’s edible & what’s not. The problem now is there are certain things we need to sustain ourselves. Are we fueling our purpose or feeding our insecurities?
This is when the shadow side of Taurus comes out. Anxiety, inflexibility, controlling, materialistic.
These qualities of Taurus come out when there’s a new, threatening reality to adjust to. Aka, when things get crazy stressful.
Luckily, Venus gives us a way to find a moment’s peace. To help us develop our capacity to make an aesthetic response to the changing realities of life.
How can we calm down & see the beauty in everything? Because without harmonizing the warring factors inside our mind, we miss the serenity & stillness that nature offers us. We miss the birdsong chorus on a Spring morning. We miss the color changing sky as the sun sets into the night. We miss the moment.
We go from “security” to “stagnation”. We no longer move with purpose & we let insecurity make our decisions.
To be driven by insecurity is to be in a state of stress. Chronic stress becomes stagnant energy. Remember, Taurus signifies simplicity.
In silence we find simplicity.
Simplicity brings peace.
The planet of love helps us find pleasure in the silence. Self care is how we create a healthy relationship with Venus.
Because we are multidimensional beings, we can work with the body to move stagnant energy out of the mind, which is where insecurity arises. Instead of trying to control the outside world, we turn our focus inward where a true sense of stability can be felt.
So how do we do this? Thru grounding, meditation, & creating art.
Why does this work? Because it aligns us with nature & brings us into the present moment. In the present, there is no perceived danger from the chaos around us.
In the present, you are safe.
When you are safe, you survive.
You’re no longer driven by chaos. You are driven by purpose.
When you have purpose, you can create the life you want.
You can do any kind of grounding practice that gives you direct contact with the Earth.
Laying in the grass.
Walking along a nature path.
Sitting under a tree.
Hugging a tree.
Hiking a trail.
Submerging in a body of water.
Bird watching.
Building a sand castle.
Whatever your heart desires.
There’s nothing that regulates the nervous system better than being in tune with Mother Earth.
Meditation can be sitting completely still in silence, or it can be any neutral activity that doesn’t require mental input or output.
Cleaning. Cooking. Walking. In silence or listening to music.
Whatever you need to do, that can be done with minimal thinking.
Music silences us when we listen to it. One of the gifts of Venus is the pleasure it brings us when we not only listen to music, but when we create it.
Creating art, especially music, is one of the highest spiritual practices we can do.
It can be humming, singing, or playing an instrument. Why not dance a little too (:
Art that speaks to your soul will bring you the peace your Taurus energy is longing for. Only you know what you love. For me, it’s writing & painting.
These are all healthy & aligned self care practices that help cultivate inner peace. In this crazy world, I hope you find moments to notice the beauty you carry within & around you.
Stay grounded!
