"Things we lose have a way of coming back to us in the end, if not always in the way we expect "– Luna Lovegood It would seem, particularly right now, the journey of life is made up of a series of endings, beginnings and the moments in between. And yet there seems to be no manual to tell us how to navigate the big energies that come with times like these. Have you ever just wished there was a magic spell to ease the pain? In this episode, we contemplate if we can ever really be lost, even if we are in the midst of loss.  Can we ever really be stuck? Or are we always on the precipices of new discovery, being found and on the other side of a new door… even when it feels really hard? The spell “Alohomora” as presented in Harry Potter (and you know we are fans) at first looks like a simple, utilitarian spell, that unlocks anything including windows and doors. Yet popular theory has it that the spell “Alohomora” is actually about the energy that keeps us moving forward and opening to life. The word derives from the Hawaiian word “Aloha,” which sometimes means “farewell,” and the Latin word “mora,” which means “obstacle.”  Farewell obstacle. The phrase including deeper meanings on an emotional and energetic level. Insinuating that “Alohomora” includes the ideas of openings, beginnings, overcoming obstacles, unlocking possibilities and working with the energy. Could it be that we are in a process of opening on a personal and collective level? Does the world need to use the energy of ‘Alohomora"? What do we do about the grief, the sorrow and the sadness? In this episode, we explore the great teachings of sorrow, lamenting, losing, being lost and how by using it as an Alohomora spell we can indeed turn to possibility, a new way forward, open a door or unlock something that may never have been able to be opened before.
