Earthy New Moon and Eclipse

Earthy new moon in Capricorn and a partial solar eclipse bathe us in the energy of so much to do, so little time.  Resist the urge to make a bunch of decisions and complete all your projects NOW!

Ground to Mama Earth.
Slow down to her slow, sacred winter rhythm.
Relax – you have time.

Thank the Air

‘When your world moves too fast

and you lose yourself in the chaos, introduce yourself

to each color of the sunset.

Reacquaint yourself with the earth beneath your feet.

Thank the air that surrounds you

with every breath you take.

Find yourself in the appreciation of life.’

~ Christy Ann Martine

May A Good Vision Catch Me

May a good vision catch me

May a benevolent vision take hold of me, and move me

May a deep and full vision come over me, and burst open around me

May a luminous vision inform me, enfold me.

May I awaken into the story that surrounds,

May I awaken into the beautiful story.

May the wondrous story find me;

May the wildness that makes beauty arise between two lovers

arise beautifully between my body and the body of this land,

between my flesh and the flesh of this earth,

here and now,

on this day,

May I taste something sacred.

Messages from the Universe

“The universe is always speaking to us. …
Sending us little messages, causing coincidences and serendipities,
reminding us to stop, to look around,
to believe in something else, something more.”
~Nancy Thayer

Psst, Pay Attention!

#AdviceToMyself

Aquarius Full Moon and Eclipse

Airy Aquarius full moon with a total lunar eclipse clears the air. All kinds of BS falls away. Retrograde Mars also stirs the pot. Wild and crazy times!

Get very clear about what you truly want. Hang on to what you love and value no matter what.

The River of You

“To transform the world, we must begin with ourselves”
~Jiddu Krishnamurti

How did Krishnamurti get so wise?  Time alone with himself.  Time alone in stillness.

Give yourself the gift of time away from the world. Sit in stillness and explore your thoughts and feelings. Do this  and you will eventually learn to stop looking to the outside world for answers or satisfaction.

The outside world is not your problem. It is not your solution.

Get still.

Explore the river of you.

The entire Universe is waiting within.

“The more you know yourself, the more clarity there is.
Self-knowledge has no end – you don’t come to an achievement,
you don’t come to a conclusion.
It is an endless river.” 

Growing

“The place where you feel your truth, that is Shakti.
That is her speaking… moving you.
That is where you can find her.
That’s where she is so close.
And in times of crisis or
when things are challenging in this way,
It is so easy to put that connection aside.

…In times like this, you are growing.
Think about yourself as a new sprout in you.
And you have to find ways to take care of it.
You need to finds ways to
feel your feet and feel the Earth.
Find ways to connect in small ways.”
