Happy new moon, April 29, 2014!!!!

This cycle we are entering Taurus and it is a time of grace. Just enjoying what is. Not so worried about where things will take us just living in the now. 

Now is a time to appreciate being who you are. Embrace self.  Along with that is looking within, seeing the true self.

The influence of Taurus is of enjoying all there is in life. Celebrating our senses fully and all they bring to us see the beauty all around and experience it too!

We are also having a solar eclipse which may further have us looking at things we desire to change and working towards that.  Find out more about the eclipse here: http://www.space.com/25610-annular-solar-eclipse-visibility-maps-april-2014-images.html

Happy Full Pink moon, April 15, 2014!!!!

This moon is called the pink moon because the moss pink (also called: wild ground phlox, flame flower, wild sweet willam) is usually the first blooms of Spring time. It is also called the grass moon or the egg moon.  In other parts of the world it is called the Harvest Moon, Hunter’s Moon, Blood Moon.

We are also having a full lunar eclipse too In Libra. This eclipse will begin at 2:00 am and end at 4:25 EST. This is worth watching! Some have looked at such eclipse and an “end of days” Some as a new cycle.  4 planets are intersecting during this eclipse; Aries, Libra, Capricorn and Cancer forming a cardinal cross on the day of Passover (Hebrew calendar)

This is a great time to focus on your spirituality. There are very strong influences of personal strength that will help us accomplish releasing old patterns.  Flow with the river and all will be fine.

 
There are strong influences for much strength in love relationships now.

All and all there are some strong forces. Allow yourself to feel them and work for you in your life.

Native American fire ceremony:

Some have done a fire ceremony to release old things and draw in new ones, often during the full moon. This is done by creating a circle around a fire calling on the powers that be and guides in our own way God, Great spirit, … etc.  We have a picture or drawing that is reflective of what we want to release. It is burned in the fire. This releases the old. Next we have a paper with the things written we desire is burned in the fire. This is things to replace the old with.

Key words:  birth, growth, freshness, releasing

Affirmations:

I let go of the things that do not serve me and allow the things that do

I accept Universal guidance

The truth is solid

The old ways the traditions, the truth are things that to this day are much revered in my Native American heritage and likewise to many other peoples. 

All things go in a circular pattern. Just as the seasons.  This is the harmony of life. Even in the moments of chaos. For chaos is the force that says we need to keep moving forward. All has its purpose in the Universe and is the same in this cycle of being.  Chaos of the universe is not as some would see chaos from experience in this world. It is that thing that stirs things up a bit like a wake up call saying; “Things have to change now.” This is all part of the universal truth.

There is a primordial feeling with this that to some seems outdated but to me it speaks truth, home, love, peace, harmony. Alas that is what should draw us to it. That it has always been it is so, it is truth.

In time things can come around with a fresh new feel and they flow with truth yet some things tend to want to challenge and replace truth. This is impossible truth will always remain.

Jesus, Gandhi, and many other ascended masters taught these beautiful pure truths. Thus have the seasons, the animals, and the whole of nature been our teachers. Their wisdom has always been and always will be inspirational to us and a true blessing.

 One of the biggest truths is our divine beauty. This is one truth we all are to tune into.  It is not an arrogant thing to see the beauty that is you. For that is the true meaning of us being a mirror of all… not in seeing the negatives of another.  For what is one is not always in another in the human experience yet in the face of truth we are a true mirror of the divinity of one another.

See the divine awesomeness that is you in this simple exercise. Imagine you in your room and a part of it, in the house you live in and a part of it, and in the city/town you live in, the country, the planet, and the cosmos and in all seeing how you are a part of it. Pretty groovy huh?

Trends may come and trends may go but the truth never goes out of style.
