SUPERCHARGE ME
The largest full moon we've had in the last 70 years, brings with it unrivaled intensity and celestial gifts. ✨ Be open to receiving the many blessings it bears as well as keeping your eyes open to the truths that will be unfolding in the next couple of days. 🌕 Full moons bring everything to a culmination but mostly shed light on what we need to see to move forward with the next chapters of our life. There is no denying the divide and pain we feel in our nation today. Use this time in mediation to see the truth, align with what resonates with your higher self, and recalibrate towards unity, peace, love and compassion. Sat Nam 🙏
OM TARE TUTTARE TURE SOHA
“There are many beings who want
Enlightenment in a man’s body,
but no one wants to be helpful
to the sentient beings
in a female body.
So, until Samsara will be empty,
I will help sentient beings
Remaining in a woman’s body!”
And so she vowed, “I have developed
bodhicitta as a woman. For all my lifetimes
along the path I vow to be born as a woman,
and in my final lifetime when I attain
Buddhahood, then, too, I will be a woman.”
BE THE CHANGE
Today I write this on a more sober note, having had the night and full day to process my earthly emotions. I wonder how many of us went to bed with fear in our hearts. I wonder how many of us woke up in disbelief. I wonder how many of us drove to work crying like I did. We stood up to protect values that we cherished such as love, hope, unity, decency, compassion, fairness and tolerance. We stood up to protect our planet and all that is precious to us. It is a mourning process we are all going through and we must make time for that in the most positive way possible by continuing to be the decent people that we are hoping to see on the planet. To be the change we are hoping to seek. To love all and especially those we can’t imagine to love in this moment. To shine light where there is darkness and be the light.
As I struggle with my own earthly emotions battling lower energies of fear and despair I see where my work lies. Know that all of this has come up to be healed. If Hillary had won we would've gone along believing that we had worked through our racism, sexism, & bigotry and that we were truly moving forward in our evolution. This is a wakeup call for all of us. We need to see the cancer to heal it. We have been given a diagnosis. But it is this awareness that allows us to fight back & not sit in apathy.
When you feel despair remember that 250 million Americans did NOT vote for him. Out of those that did, most were scared for their own needs & others bought into the promises because they couldn’t wait for change. This leaves a small minority that may indeed connect to his divisive and hateful values. He is one cancer cell & while there may be more as a result of this situation, when we look at the larger collective whole that is good, know that TOGETHER we have the power to shift our reality back in the direction of love and true healing. Together we are stronger. How can we unite & come together as people that have love and truth in our hearts and continue our evolution as human beings? Where do we have to be more active? Who do we have to continue to protect? Whose voice do we need to be? Where can give more love? Love is always the answer.
THE BEAUTY OF DARKNESS
This new moon in the mystical sign of Scorpio is guiding us to go into the underworld of our subconscious, separate from the material world and find the treasures of our intuitive realm. Scorpio energy can be deep and dark but by exploring its depth we can direct it towards the light and magical gifts we all have inherently within.
The new moon also coincides with Samhain celebration of Hallow's Eve which further forces us to look at our darkness and shadows to fully grasp the things we can't perceive with our five senses. Darkness is often associated with evil but that couldn't be further from the truth. Everything is made from source and light. Darkness provides the background for light to shine through. It's about darkness of the subconscious mind, intuition and the unseen worlds. The most beautiful things in the world like the stars and the moon will always need darkness to be seen. We must explore darkness for the beauty of our truth to be illuminated.
Take this evening to meditate and reflect on your shadow side, dive deeper into the underworld of your subconscious and find places that you have buried deep inside because of shame, fear and self doubt. Open them up to the divine light that is waiting to pour in and heal those parts so you can connect deeper to your light and magic within. New moon blessings to all ✨🌙🙏
