Isa+Jera Living

11/10/2021

I started this page close to 4 years ago. This is a more personal version of a business page.

The concept of Isa + Jera is my life’s philosophy, and my North Star.

No matter who what where when happens in my life, I use this as a compass, and it’s guides me where I’m going.

Isa is the word for the letter in the Nordic alphabet that represents ice. The elemental archetype of ice is very important to me. More on that later.

Jera is the word for the letter in the Nordic alphabet that represents cycles.

When you put the two together, the symbolic essence is stillness through cycles. These are runes. There is a mystic narrative surrounding their derivation and abilities. I appreciate the symbols as a stand alone. I don’t get caught up in doctrine or dogma. They are fascinating and exciting stories, but it’s deeper than that for me, it’s a resonance, vibration thing for me, rather than a belief in mythology. I don’t really care about the personification of these ancient stories.

I was cross-searching the 7 sacred values of the Lakota the other day with the tenets of Buddhist philosophy and the 8 limbs of Yoga.

I came upon a site and it was promoting amongst other resources the book The Wise Heart. The owner of the site, made it his mission to from his platform, spread awareness and connect others to his recommendations.

It was called Sharing Fire 🔥

I know the book he referenced, aligned with his purpose, and was captivated by the name. I let it really sink in.

What does fire represent? What attracts me

Positive octave~ Life itself, light, warmth, motivation/inspiration, courage, movement

Negative octave~Destruction, wreckless, force, burns

Evangelism of the gospel feels fiery to me. Although I believe well intentioned, it literally means sharing the good news, I immediately thought of the shadow side of proselytizing. Like anything it can be taken too far.

I am so thankful this page exists. I thought about how I related. I’m drawn to fire, but i concluded it’s not my gift. I thought about my North Star, and how it is my lifelong process. I thought about how it is the way I try to facilitate healing in others.

My medicine is Ice. Is Medisin

Ice can be used proactively, to invigorate and stimulate the immune system.

Ice can be used reactively. Ice is applied after injury to ease pain, reduce swelling, and soothe inflammation.

The elemental archetype of being solid, strong, still.

It can be used to preserve .

It can also restrict and contract and make numb.

My passion and fire 🔥 has gotten me into trouble at times in this life. My ice has been the counter balance.

I am talking about applying tools + technologies + techniques as emotional and spiritual ice. Used to soothe and comfort the heat of desire, anger, jealousy, envy, and resentment. The emotional fire that burns, causes damage, and pain.

More soon 🖤

Self Circuitry + Relationship Circuitry

Why are these important to understand?

Everything is potential. Some potential has actualized, and some remains unmanifest.

We impact and are impacted by others. This is a big responsibility, in my opinion.

In the Human Design system, we are made of a series of circuits. Centers, gates, and channels. Some hanging~partially activated, some open, some closed.

Again, why is this important?

Undefined~open channels and centers are dynamic, feminine, yin. In other words, they receive energy, and are being impacted. Defined~closed channels and centers are static, masculine, yang. In other words they give energy, and are making the impact. Sometimes consciously, sometimes unconsciously.

Have you ever experienced what it feels like when someone fills your grid in? It’s amazing

People around you might notice, even comment on the noticeable changes in behavior, energy level etc. Something is different about you now, wow they really seem to activate you, etc. it’s because they literally do.

I used to refer to this as an alchemical process. Turning base metal to gold. The chemical, electric, energetic transformation that happens when two worlds collide. Sometimes for the “better”, sometimes for the “worse”. That’s relative and it depends on everything.

The perspective I’m coming from is how to make smart energetic investments in people. Differentiating what is of value, gives return on investment, and what does not. If you’ve ever experienced feeling depleted, drained, and at a deficit from interacting then maybe that job, person, situation isn’t correct for you. This is a tool of discernment.

I really feel the this level of personalization is needed in the healing modalities. Is a blockage a naturally defined channel? A hanging gate where the energy can’t get across? So many questions.
