It’s been an intense year! Lots of big releases, but all to help lighten the load as we prepare to take flight.
Happy New Moon! “This New Moon is the perfect opportunity to reset, to pray, to set intentions and to be involved in community in a way that is meaningful. It is important to look ahead instead of looking back. Forgiveness plays a big part today as you contemplate the challenges you have just been through. Take a deep breath and allow the goodness and love of the universe to penetrate into your soul. Honor that today is the first day of the rest of your life. How do you want to live it? If you allow it, your personal medicine has the potential to be seen by others and nurtured by spirit. Say some prayers today for that to manifest. Stay away from self judgment and remember that with all the transition and changes going on within you and around you, you are only half baked. This new moon supports a creative container for personal expression. There is a desire to be heard, not in an ego way but in an authentic yearning to be your unique contribution in this life. Don’t be afraid to dream big and to show up. Anything can happen. Decide that the “anything” will be supportive and wonderful.” ~Lena Stevens

“May I be a guard for those who need protection, A guide for those on the path, A boat, a raft, a bridge for those who wish to cross the flood. May I be a lamp in the darkness, A resting place for the weary, A healing medicine for all who are sick, A vase of plenty, a tree of miracles; And for the boundless multitudes of living beings, May I bring sustenance and awakening, Enduring like the earth and sky Until all beings are freed from sorrow, And all are awakened.” ~ A prayer from Shantideva

“Gossamer threads of life hold me, perched between Earth and Sky, Weaving the web, Dreaming the dream, Through the two worlds I will fly. With you as my muse, Mother, I create the substance of dreams, Allowing the artist within me To fashion my life with esteem. I mold the clay of experiences into a sacred medicine bowl, Capturing the essence of living as it sings deep in my soul. Your secrets of creation, Mother, Have taught me when to destroy, the chains that have bound me, limiting the expression of my joy. You have taught me how to labor, Giving birth to the visions within, Setting them free like silver arrows, Kindling the fire of creation again.” ~ From the 13 Original Clan Mothers

“Do not be ready before your time. There’s no knowing what symmetry is marshalling itself below this confusion. First the long attentiveness of listening must be paid. Don’t brave your way out of this husk while it serves to protect your impressionability. Let yourself be kept a while longer in these origins where you are mine alone and I am only yours. Let something sweet be made of our secret. Put not your offering into the world too soon. Let it ripen in the guardianship of your trepidation. Let this fallow time be stretched For it is in this unreadiness that beauty takes its form. Live a season longer in this holy refuge. Because soon what nectar is made of our union will be for all the world to drink, or not drink. And you will need to remember what grace was allowed only by your long staying hidden.” ~Toko-pa
