It's a basic human curiosity that connects us to the stars, the moon, the ocean, these forces and manifestations of nature's great power. I'm known in many circles as the keeper of moon ceremony but truly all I've done is drawn people's attention to this one day every month that's worth noting. Luna beckons us outside to see her brilliant glory. She doesn't hide from us. She isn't shy. She doesn't apologize for being beautiful. She lures us, seduces us, engages us, moves us. Her energy charges up water, gems, candles, whatever we leave outside in her path. We are made of water; she moves it.
She also conjures shadow - those things we're drawn to but can't possess. We can only gaze at her. We can't possess her. We can't control her. We can predict her phases but we can't harness them. We look up to see her in one position and a moment later, she has moved. She represents those deeply divine and feminine qualities that so many women deny and repress - our mysteries, our depths, our light, our connection, our sexuality, our power, our energy. She asks that we acknowledge it all and celebrate it. We find it so hard to do that because if and when we do, we're often judged and shackled.
So here we stand between a full moon on 11.10.11 and the High Holiday to end high holidays, 11.11.11. An enormous shift is in progress. Can you feel it? Breathe it in. What's in the air is no longer an urge, a request, a whisper to let go; it's an edict. You must let go now or you'll be dragged - dragged through pain, heartache and their evil sisters ~ resentment, anger, frustration. LET GO. Can you do it? Can you let go of Ego, of expectation, of attachment? Of the "way things ought to be"? Of what you "thought you were supposed to do"? Can you just be with what is right now and sing out loud from the depths of your spirit? Can you love with an open heart and allow others to do the same? Can you observe without judgment?
Ahhhhhhh.
It's difficult. But it's time. I feel it in my bones. The shift is tectonic. It's planetary. It's deep. I've personally let go of SO MUCH this year, some things and people and places against my will, but all for my greater good. I've given the Universe a giant Yield sign in my life and wow - that made things happen. The Universe asks that we yield, that we GET OUT OF THE WAY in order for our best to manifest. But 90% of us stand right in the middle of that road yelling "stop!".
I leave you then with this message at this time, full of love and peace in my heart: All as it's meant to be in perfect time for your highest good. Always.
Namaste at this sacred moment in our lifetimes, not to be replicated before we pass on to the next place. Not to come again in our children's lifetimes. And all transpiring under the light and watchful eye of that Lovely Luna Llena who's beckoning you to come see her. Get outside. Stand in the light. And let go.
