The downward energy of metal is what propels us upward.

In this way, you follow in the footsteps of one of the highest mythical representations in Chinese mythology, the Queen Mother of the West, Xi Wang Mu, goddess of the ultimate yin. The Queen Mother resides where the earth turns away from the sun, representing the death of all things that no longer serve. She symbolizes the aspect of the Divine feminine that lets old habits die, releases inappropriate partners, and stops harmful life interactions. She also represents the death of the physical form when we are finished with this earthly vehicle.

Phoebe was a model whose greatest fear was losing her youth and beauty. Whenever she saw a wrinkle, she saw death sneaking up on her. The spiritual teacher Bhagavan Das says, “When you can’t remember God, remember death. It will bring you there.” After I talked with Phoebe, she decided to face her fear of death directly and began to visit a nursing home, spending time every week with those who had no family. After doing this for some time, Phoebe realized it wasn’t death she feared; it was a new phase in her life that she was afraid of. Who would she be without her looks? Realizing this made her feel shallow, which she didn’t like. She worked on creating a newer, better self by visiting the home almost every night, reading to the elders, combing their hair, and making them feel loved and cared for. In that way, she also loved and cared for herself.
